Hey, don't just check back in, stick around instead!
I mean you too AV, I know you guys come as a pair!
My cheeky wife showed me your message, larrabee, and said:
"See? You should be banned from the forum, and I'll take your place."
I think that made sense in her head.
KFdancer, not sure if you got my message a while back but we have a teeny tiny baby gift for you. I'm not absolutely sure if it got packed, though. It was rather nuts packing and cleaning out an entire 2-bedroom apartment in 3 days!
Saie09, have you looked into CouchSurfing or something similar? Sometimes people need a pet or house sitter? I was very worried about what we'd do if my lease expired before we got the visa, so I can just imagine your stress. Hard to keep turning the other cheek! I hope you can find a better living situation until you get your visa.
