  1. “Chicken – is the immigration coming along? It took me ten years to get a greencard.

    I’ll be pretty upset if it takes me that long Ditto! Mrs Chicken and Chicken Jr are both US citizens so it should just be a pretty straightforward, if bureaucratic, process.

  2. ” In the UK, the only points a company will put down on a reference letter are confirmation of employment, position and dates. Anything else and they open themselves up to potential lawsuits so they don’t bother.”

    We are not in the UK Dumbass! I hate when the retards want to compare NYC to _________, whatever!

    I love self employment, I get to set the rules and terms. Life is good and you should be out there looking! Job will not come knocking on your door, you must take this thing by the horns! Posting on Brownstoner is not going to do it! Get off your Asses and find work!!!!!!

    Hello Mr What, I am curious as to what led you to call me a Dumbass (your capitalisation) and a retard?

    If you read my entire post, you will see that I asked a question in order to educate myself. I then followed it up with my experience of how a similar situation in London/UK would be dealt with – a city/country that is generally considered to be less litigious than New York and therefore pertinent to the discussion.

    Other posts that you have made in recent days/weeks have shown your conciliatory side so if you want to apologise for the insult then I will accept it. If not, then I guess I’ll have to just live with the disappointment.

  3. “That’s an uncalled for personal attack, ENY, from someone that usually makes intelligent comments.”

    Hey etson, I don’t think it was uncalled for (although it was personal). And if Rob isn’t pissed, I don’t know why you would be. As you noted, I don’t go out of my way to attack anyone, but Rob sometimes pushes my buttons (as he knows). When someone says that grammar and punctuation “don’t matter” I really have a problem with that.

    “Hey everyone should we start listing all farm references that can have suggestive meanings.”

    “Plant my seed….” Pretty obvious.
