FC/PGN Big Lists Updated: my prayers for Copa Club!
A huge congrats to Guatmommy2be on finally getting out after 314 days!!!
Since taking over this list, I am so much more aware of the painful inconsistencies of the timelines in PGN. My sincere prayers are with all of those families in this last decision step, but especially with those still in and waiting from last December (Openthemall and iwantmybaby) and those still in from the first half of 2007 (Traceybch, jgriese1, emsd55 (girl), kingwait4dany, jenneb, krafmatic, kathleenmag, happykosmo, RSFBuckeye, asauer, and scottskaggs) Please join me in sending prayers and good signing thoughts to those reviewers. Let them carefully and quickly review all these cases on their desks so that they give us more reasons to cheer and clear out that copa club!!

Hi Julie - I received e-Pink last Thur (Nov.29th) and have my embassy appointment this Friday (Dec. 7th).
A HUGE thanks for keeping up this list and I am crossing my fingers, toes, eyes and anything else that won't break that people get out of PGN as soon as possible.

Hi, Julie. We found out our Family Court SWI was done the week of Thanksgiving-not sure on the exact date, but I believe it was on Wed. or Thurs. Thanks for keeping the list! It seems like a big job!

Great, I'll add these to FC and PGN waiters. For those with BC, Orange, etc. those are anty-yayah. When angelstamper passed the lists on we split them up to share the work. I know she's caught up on these on this thread, but in the future she's the contact for those out of PGN. Thanks!
OLA, you can add a time line to your own posts by going to the upper right hand corner of the forum and under "welcome OLA" and click "upate my page". Then on the left side column click "edit my signature". Type in what you want, using the smilies and, if you want, make a ticker at something like lilypie.com and paste it into your siggy! When you do posts, be sure the "show your signature" box is checked underneath hte message box.

Yippee! Thank you for adding us and for the way I can have some fun with the timeline and smilies while I wait, impatiently. Anything to kill time and make the wait LOOK fun! Harumph. Oh did I say that out loud? Sorry.
Will be off to play with smilies now. Good vibes to all! OLA |
