Owch!!
>_<
I knew applying for a Green Card was going to hurt my (our) wallet.
(You did know I got married, right?)
But I didn't expect it to really hurt!
Four. Needles.
Everyone going through Green Card application processing has to have a physical. It's basic, really, just making sure you don't have any really serious illnesses. But...there's a long list of those.
- Tuberculosis.
- Tetanus.
- Diphtheria.
- Mumps.
- Measles.
- Chicken pox.
- Rubella (German measles).
And bloodwork to check for a whole list of other things, too.
And who really keeps their immunization records around? Not my parents...besides, I hadn't been immunized against the MMR (mumps, measles, rubella) or chicken pox either - I'd just caught them and kicked them out.
So. One hole for a Tb bubble test. One for blood sample. One for Tetanus/Diptheria. One MMR. (Skipped the chicken pox one, thankfully.)

Read 'em and...
...weep? Cheer?
Well, you decide.

Yes, that's me with my brand new Macbook. Note the Dell desktop on the table in the bottom-left corner.Bought it off Ebay; it was factory-new out of the box, but I only paid $845 for it (including shipping). Works like a charm, too.
Now...I have the fun of learning an entirely new OS. Would you believe it took me a day to figure out how to *install* Firefox from the download? Neat that it runs perfectly fine (if a bit slow to load) from the SDK without dragging it to the Apps section.
Then there was figuring out how to access a shared folder on my Dell desktop machine to get my d20 resources over here. But that was even easier, it was stupid me who was typing in the wrong password. Once I got the password right, it was easy as pie.
So. Now I'm Macbooked. Anyone have suggestions on where to go from here? ;-)

No, I'm not dead either! Just married and working and stuff.
