Eggs?  What thoughts on eggs?
No mystery here, eggs in the US are washed and the protective coating is gone.  Eggs in the UK have the coating and don't require refrigeration.

Also, US washing up liquid is different and doesn't dissolve in the air.  UK detergent has a higher solvent level and is designed to air dry.  No residue is left.

I don't buy that!  If you don't rinse, your dishes can't be clean.  :P

BS Jimbo!

I've seen the reactivated soap in my drinks and on my plate.

In the US, yes, eggs from commercial farms are washed. It removes the protective coating which makes the porous surface now permeable.

If you buy eggs from a local farmer, chances are they are unwashed and you don't need to refrigerate them.

Eggs sold in most other countries are unwashed and are safe to store in a room temperature environment.

You know they are fresh when you have to pick the odd feather off them.

Really starting to feel discouraged today. I didn't think priority would take this long. I'm in this limbo-where everything is kind of hanging in the balance. Am I going to go or not?

My husband is feeling it too. He needed groceries yesterday and just "couldn't be bothered" to leave the house so he ordered them online. He's been staying in the flat a lot, not going out, feeling generally melancholy. As for me, I stay busy so much that I don't really feel the anxiety until I go to bed. For some reason, I thought when I woke up I'd have that e-mail.

I'm so sick of being anxious.

Don't be discouraged.  You are at 34 business days (by my calculation).  Most are hearing back at 40 business days right now.  So that's early next week.  You may be about to have your LAST WEEKEND EVER as a resident of the USA!  ;D

I think I'm just driving myself crazy thinking things like
"What if they didn't see my priority receipt"
"What if my package got lost"
"What if what if what if"


And I see that it's really pointless to call them and ask about visa status, but I keep thinking "what if it takes two months" Our wedding day is 13 October.

I'm just super negative today.  :-[
