  1. Seems like the WAZE DUI checkpoint feature is not to the NYPD,s liking and they issued a cease and desist order to Google,they want it gone for obvious reasons.I,m ok with that.

     

    But I wonder if they get that banned then they will ask Google to quit using the where the cops are hiding on the freeway feature, of whatever its called.

     

    Discuss.

  2. This

     

    I feel so bad for your kids by you shoving them into college.

     

    They don't have any concept of the amount of money they are going into debt, let alone how long it takes to pay back, LET ALONE do they know (usually) WTF they wanna do with their lives.

     

    But just keep contributing to the biggest bubble in America's history by all means, I'll take my sore back and retirement at 55 :)

     

    No sucking on the tit here they will get a assist,if they do not tow the line can work their way thru on their own.....or go to boot...inside joke

     

    I’m all for the skilled trade push, but that does not mean college has no value. It’s not like his kids are 16+ and he’s just now looking to pay for them saying they want to go to school. With mom and dad both having a college education, there is a higher chance the kids will go to college too. Given that, the man’s been trying to maximize the funds in the right place for that opertunity to be there. The man imigrated to the US and is damn near the text book example of what is hoped for from someone moving here. He has a very nice house and it’s paid for. I’m guessing there are less then ten people on this site that can say that. Telling someone you feel sorry for their kids because the parent is making sure they have things in place for them to persue the field of interest, even college, sounds like you would just push your kid into a trade because you don’t want them to go to school. Then your kid becomes the one with the student loans and is exactly the problem you hate.

     

    Appreciate it Joe

  3. We set up a College Advantage,Ohios 529 Vanguard aggressive 529 plan about 12 years ago for the kidlets and apart from the tax breaks the actual returns have been awful,like a few thousand dollars and has not even doubled yet.

     

    As it turns out its a Vanguard Aggressive is a self managed fund and we have not been "managing" so much for advice... it looks like you need to research and tell them what you want like a US stock small cap.

     

    Anyways cliffs are I want something that is set and forget with good returns in the next 6 to 8 years.

     

    Thanks.

  4. CONGRATULATIONS!

     

    I know exactly how it feels. Any story from the oral test?

     

    Thanks to everyone.

     

    The oral test split into 3 parts,fortunately I could manage the English comprehension part ok,

    something like.....The cat sat on the _ _ _ ? ......LOL!

     

    Civics was pretty easy the only pressure is what you put on yourself,halfway through she started to joke a bit and I could tell it was going ok at the end she said she was going recommend I get approved.

  5. Congrats, Carl. I too, thought you had done this long ago. Be sure to get your new passport ASAP. Always seems to be one thing people overlook after getting naturalized.

     

     

    I...I think he's been here awhile.

     

     

    I should have but I was chasing the dream and shoved it on the back burner then you have a family so theres 15 years gone by.

     

    On the English breakfast thing after a night out if so there was a cafe catering to the street market traders....damm its still around! https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g186273-d1933274-r133511468-Market_Diner-Brighton_East_Sussex_England.html they would start setting up in the small hours so they built in clientele,so after kicking out time around 2 in the morning we would pile into a place and pig out.

     

    I remember they had a gut buster eggs bacon black pudding beans toast piled on a big plate and you had to be a monster to get it down and don't forget the cup of tea!

  6. Congrats! File me under the people who thought you were a citizen. So are you able to retain dual citizenship or are you no longer a U.K. citizen? Don’t need to share if that’s too personal I’m just not familiar with it and curious.

     

    Congrats man! Did you have to forfeit your English citizenship to become an American?

     

    Dual citizenship is allowed in the UK and under U.S. law does not require a person to choose one citizenship or another.

    However the questions they ask you mean that if you need to put on your boots and fight a enemy foreign or domestic you will do so and I have no problem with that.

     

    I will probably never live anywhere other than the U.S.so its of little concern to me now if that makes sense, my kids are American and could not hack the English food.

  7. I knew this country was going down the drain......

     

     

    J/K bud congratz. I honestly didn't know you were NOT a full citizen for all these years.

     

     

    Too late now suckers !

     

    I have had resident alien status for a long time problem was it needed renewing every 10 years and mucho $$$...going a little further to finish it was worth it.

     

    Funny the questions they ask....are you prepared to bear arms.....shit yeah ! I said... ok your in !
