I mean it's true... it just shows more how irresponsible people are... yes let's have kids when we can only afford an apartment... rich people should only have kids not poor people

Come to Lake Tahoe/Truckee. That shit gets comical with 2wd and tractor trailers doing stupid shit to avoid chain control and wind up blocking plowed roads in town and neighborhoods. Shovels and tow strap in the truck are for me and my people, not the Google map tard masses and their incompetence.

Well i am seeing that some people are diverging themselves from the point. my point is very clear if you have seen any kind of message then whenever you get the time try to reply to it otherwise the person who has texted will feel that you don't care about them Whenever you get the time i am saying this two to three times . I know that people are not available 24x7 .

I don't think it is anyone's right to have 24/7 access to my attention. It's not normal to be reacheable of every moment of every day. If its something more pressing sure, I understand that I really should message back at my earliest convenience. But if it's just every day chit chat and such then it can wait until I'm good and ready to open my mental space into "getting back" to everyone that keeps in touch on a regular basis. I genuinely have cultivated my friend group into people that understand that I enjoy my quiet and alone time. Instead of every other day to every day contact with my closest friends its weekly. And then face to face visiting monthly. People have busy lives and you are not the center of their world.

Edit: if it's a normal occurance with one or a couple of people in particular, just ask them how often they'd like to be "checked in" on. As stated above my friends and I are weekly check ins. But we've been known to go 3 weeks before getting nervous about safety. Depends on the person.

Same. I’ve also experienced some shit. I commuted 50 miles one way for over 15 years. There were 2 routes - one a major highway, the other back roads. I learned quickly to stay off the highway. At least on the back roads there were many houses I could easily get to in an emergency. On the highway I faced too many drivers driving too fast and following too closely. Plus, there was the possibility of getting stuck on the highway for hours if there was an accident.

Yes, you may be better of in urban areas doing this. But outside of that there have been numerous incidents of people straying from the highway onto roads that are rarely travelled in winter & not surviving after getting stuck.

I hope this still applies! My sister went thru this about 6 years ago. So typically you'll have to have been together for a significant amount of time (nothing crazy but not like 1 year either). I know my sis and her bf were 7 years strong at the time. For proof of relationship they used pictures, email exchanges, bills (he owns a house and she helped with electrical and water so her name was on the statements). Thay also worked together so they asked their work to write a notarized letter. If they still allow this -which i really hope for your sake they do (sorry if i got your hopes up for nothing) - they will tell you what works as "documentation" of your relationship. I really think your best bet is contacting the consulate.
