The second practice I dealt with arranged marriage stuff, younger generations who didn't like some aspects of the 'old country' culture, all sorts of things that dealt with the adjustment to a new culture. It was really fascinating and challenging. Once I knew what to expect and how to best approach it things went better.Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

I just about fell out of my chair. I couldn’t believe it.
Now, that might just be old man syndrome, but I’ve never heard anything like that in a professional setting.
Dr. Mrs. has a friend who is an Indian ex-pat who's a lesbian. That is still very much not okay, even among the middling educated (hello, Bangalore). It's simplistic to say India is about 60 years behind us, but not entirely incorrect. Of course, we are about 60 years behind some other places.Last edited by Kepler; 04-24-2018, 09:45 PM.Cornell University

Re: Travel Part 3: Destination Unknown
Daughter is flying out of Nola to Mexico at 7a on Friday and just called to say she can't find her passport. Used it a year ago, has seen it in apartment since but can't find it. IF she can't find it, she'll have to see if there is an emergency service of some kind. Has anyone had to deal with a situation like that?

Re: Travel Part 3: Destination Unknown
Yes. They have same day service. Same cost as expedited. But you need to ge the paperwork ASAP. You need to bring you travel itinerary.
You will also need to go to a central passport agency. Minneapolis is one of them. I don’t know abouT NOLA.
You’ll also need pictures. Walgreens does them usually 24/7 just look them up on the inter webs.
Go to the state xepartment’s website for all info. I got my passport in like two days.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

Re: Travel Part 3: Destination Unknown
Hoping one of you travel pros knows the answer because I can't find a straight one and I don't speak all the lingo.
If I'm flying round-trip US to Europe on Air France on flights operated by Delta, how do Delta miles accrue? What about MQDs?Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

Just don't fly discount economy. Also, looks like MQDs aren't 1 for 1, I thought they were.Last edited by bigblue_dl; 04-26-2018, 12:51 PM.Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.
