Well, I must say I'm amused that "The Donald" has -- after a couple of weeks -- FIRED Miss California USA.  Not for her stance against gay marriage, but for her missing events at which she was required to appear AS "Miss California USA".

None of them, of course, were events against gay marriage which seem to take up all her time these days.

That is not good.  FEEL BETTER BY THE MORNING VIBES DR CILLA!!!

11-YEAR-OLD GEORGIA GIRL ORDERED TO LEAVE U.S. FOR POLAND OVER PAPERWORK ERROR

The last thing 11-year-old Ewelina Bledniak of Cummings, Ga., had in mind for her summer vacation was a deportation fight.

But Hubert and Agnes Bledniak's daughter, who has been in the U.S. since she was 2 years old, faces getting thrown out of America if she doesn't "voluntarily leave" the country by July 23.

If she doesn't go "home" to Poland — a country she hasn't seen since she was a baby — on her own, she'll be sent back involuntarily and not allowed to return for 10 years.

Ewelina's family came to America in 1999, and her father has become an American citizen. Her mother, a permanent resident, also is seeking to become a citizen. But because of a lawyer's mistake eight years ago, according to the Bledniaks, Ewelina can't stay in the U.S. with her parents.
The Bledniaks say their lawyer failed to file the proper documentation for Ewelina back in 2001 — a mistake that stayed under the radar until the family applied for their daughter's green card. It came back denied, automatically putting Ewelina into deportation proceedings.

He plays an aged curmudgeon poet in a coma - nice job.

Pretty scary.  There are a million ways to mess up an immigration case.  I'm sure someone will file a motion to reopen for her. 

[Michael]

I forgot one more thing

what are some used dvd/music store and books stores that I can visit in LA

[Jane]

When my grandfather became a citizen, so did his entire family.  Of course his two youngest children (my father was the youngest), born in Philadelphia, were not included on his naturalization papers.

Vibes little Ewelina is back in school by the fall.  She might enjoy visiting Poland for part of the summer, what we saw of it is beautiful.

[Laura]

I have a Canadian friend who almost got deported. She filled out all the paperwork that customs required every time she came into the country (she was a missionary for a while), and they nearly deported her because they gave her the wrong papers to fill out. They said she should have known.

[Kerry]

OKAY LAST TIME

I am off to LA.

Is there anyone else that will be around so we can have a haineshisway get together.

I will check tomorrow before I go to the airport.

Looking forward coming to LA

I wish, Michael, but alas, it is not to be right now--- for me anyway.

And on that note (D-natural), I'm off to rehearsal.

Again...Welcome back, Jane!

Until later!

No, but it's so much fun when the representatives of so-called morality get caught with their pants down!

[Jane]

DR George, thanks.

Speaking of Green Cards, Craig & Ioana easily proved their marriage is legit & she now has a 2 year card.

[DERBRUCER]

She might enjoy visiting Poland for part of the summer, what we saw of it is beautiful.

I suspect her family who will have to take off work for months and bear the expense of a foreign trip will not enjoy it at all.

der Brucer

I wonder what would happen if the family said to INS - fine, she's all yours - please find her appropriate accommodations in Poland.

Tempting but too risky.  Don't they just send the kids off?  I found the following:

"The Bledniaks plan to travel with Ewelina to Poland on July 20. Once there, they will have to wait for an interview with the U.S. Embassy. Embassy officials will evaluate Ewelina's documentation and make her undergo a medical examination. If the family's petition is granted, she will be permitted to return to the U.S., and to re-file for a green card."

DR jane i had no idea you went on a Baltic cruise. Did you mention that here?

DR jose apartment vibes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~`

DR Jane feel better vibes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Jane]

Oh, they have a new lawyer.  Seems she still might have to stay in Poland for a year.  I hope the publicity helps make a difference.

[Jennifer]

I meant to comment last night on DR Jennifer's wish that the GUYS AND DOLLS cast had done a number featuring the four leads.  Unfortunately, there is no song in the show that all four leads sing, except for the brief reprise of GUYS AND DOLLS at the end of the show.  In fact, other than a few bars in THE OLDEST ESTABLISHED, Nathan Detroit only sings one song and that is the duet of SUE ME, which would have gotten lost on the stage at Radio City.  If they had wanted to showcase a number that might have sold a few tickets, they probably should have used LUCK BE A LADY TONIGHT.  It features not only the male chorus, but also the far more charismatic Craig Bierko.

I didn't necessarily mean it had to be one number with all four leads. I just really wanted to see the four of them perform. i would have been happy with a medley.

Thank you Jennifer.  No, I didn't mention it.  I thought I would mention it along with some great photos.  Sorry, those are going to have to wait now.

Of course not. She didn't want the information on the site to become public.

A few minutes ago I had my monthly phone conversation with AT&T. I bought an AT&T phone a few months ago and the billing has been a nightmare. I call them up, they seem cooperative enough, and tell me that they've straightened it all out and I owe nothing. Then I receive a bill saying that I owe them hundreds of dollars (literally!). Today I made sure I got the name of the rep, so if we have to go through this again we won't be starting from zero. I take notes of all these calls and that helps, but when I asked for an email (or something) to document our conversation I was told that wasn't possible.

Gawd, what a drag!

OK, rant over.

After it happened the second time i would ask to speak to the person who answers boss. That is ridiculous!

[Jennifer]

I think i am going to go watch so you think you can dance. Although i'm still sort of annoyed about natalie!

It would be nice if one the the Talk Show hosts took up the cause.
