This Friday

[Martina]

In 48 hours, I will be an official new immigrant to the U.S.

My visa arrived today and I fly into LAX on Friday night. I am feeling so overwhelmed by the reality of it all.

In addition to the flood of "Welcome to America' comments I expect :wink:
What advice do you all have for a newcomer to help me assimilate into the US?

[pxscooterskin]

Congratulations.

[SixAndChange]

Camo t-shirts, a pennzoil hat and a love for large mouth bass and tacos should take you far.

Greet everyone that makes eye contact with you with a "...THE FUCK YOU LOOKIN AT NIGGA?!?!?!?" and punch them out. It's a well known American custom.

[sickregret]

Congratulations Martina.

[Tokyohoon]

Congrats, Marti!

You already like guns and beer, and also already despise commies, illegals and emo folks. You ought to fit in just fine. You guys really should move to Texas though, if not the deep south.

ew. why?

[Tokyohoon]

Plenty of guns and beer, commies are an endangered species (at least outside of Austin), whooping an emo is a pasttime rather than an assault charge, and you can get japapenos on everything.

There are more illegals than you might like - but that is trumped by the presence of Waffle House.

[Mamaskin]

Thats awesome !! I'm happy for ya! :smile:

Isn't that what the guns are for? I hear illegals make great target practice.:tongue:

[Tokyohoon]

See? You belong in Texas. You do. :biggrin:

Sadly, I can't vote for at least three years since I am not eligible to become a naturalized citizen until then.

[enforcer]

I'm so excited to have a girls night! I'm so happy for you and Dylan. Congrats lady!

[weknowhowtolive]

You're coming to Cali? Turn around and run back. Its not worth it!

well at least you can have money taken out of your check to raise other peoples children.

[Blue Blood]

Congrats Martina!
(Finally an immigration story we can all agree with)

We got Waffle House in Missouri too, without the damned 110 degree summer heat.

We have at least three here in Fayetteville, funny thing, two of them are right across the street from one another, too many drunk Joe's and not enough space at the first one I guess.

They are right next to the major night time social spot here, the 24 hour wal-mart.

*edit*

[PapaSkin]

[J_BCS]

Is it too late to rethink this whole thing?

You know, we tossed the idea around of moving to Alt. but decided to hold off for a while before giving it serious thought. We want to come to visit in Feb or March. Which is a good time?

[Martina]

Thanks everyone.

I am still getting settled in here, I think it will take me a few months before I realize that it's not a visit- that I am actually here now.

I thought that was Taxachusetts?
