Thanksgiving Day

Nearly a month went by since I entered anything. Since then, we have been doing what we can to start a business. I've been going on the internet everyday and Jayne, too, with her City Cell connection.

Jayne has had problems with this service since day-one. I couldn't put up with all of that. Even if there were no problems, the connection is too slow.

Every Monday afternoon, Jayne goes bowling with the other ladies (about 6 total).

Last Saturday, Jayne and I went with friends to some British get-together. They have a yearly lunch in a restaurant on the sea. I had been there once before in 2006.

We had a ride with Janice and Brian. Peter and Anne rode with us, too. (Peter desn't have a car either here.)

It's a good deal going there, as for the buffet meal it cost only 5 euros a piece. All drinks are extra of course. It's outside of the village of Koulosi, which is where Richard the Lion Heart came too (King of England).

A few days ago, I said to Jayne that the date for the Immigration appointment is on Saturday and that as far as I know government offices are closed. She check the date that was given on the paper that the girl wrote on and it said Nov. 28, which is on a Saturday.

We told this to Yainnis and he thinks they made mistake, too.

Today (Thanksgiving Day) we met with Yiannis at 8am.

Today we went with him to Immigration and sure enough, a mistake was made. The guy behind the desk gave us a number so we could see someone this morning.

We waited only about 10 minutes.

We showed all our paperwork. There were two things that did not satisfy her and that is, we could not show that we had at least 950 euros coming in a month (combined) and that I did not have something from the government that I was never married before I married Jayne.

With my bank statement that I showed, I would have to show the last three months. What I showed here was the last three months from when I first arrived, which as back in September. I knew that I would have show the last three months, but the reason why I didn't have that done was that I would not have enough money in it.

With Jayne, she has no money coming in, and to show the last three months that she has, she couldn't. The reason is, that her money is in a bank CD and this can't be taken out until it matures.

A person, like us who wants to live in Cyprus, has to have enough money to live for a year (about 12,000 euros), or to have about 1,000 euros a month coming in from a pension, investment, etc. in other words, money on a regular bases.

We both didn't like this. The woman at the desk said that when we get this, we can come back at any time.

When we were outside, we all discussed this. One way is if Jayne works here. I can't, since I'm not an EU member. Yiannis said he can say and show papers that Jayne is working for him. But I would have to pay for the unemployment insurance, which would be about 250 euros a month. So, without showing a steady income from a pension coming in, we can do it this way.

I have to pay the insurance, or it would come out of Yiannis' pocket.

When we got back we discussed that this is not right under the law. Cyprus is a member of the EU and as a member, that a citizen has a right to live in any country in Europe that they want. We will push this fact the next time we go back.

Yiannis, wants to meet me tomorrow morning and go with him to Nicosia. He has other business to do there, but I'm to come along as he will take me to the American Embassy and have it certified that I had not been married before.

Of course, this is stupid government nonsense. I had this done already in Ecuador. They are cautious there, too, before they marry anyone. The fact that it was acknowledged that we got married, they should accept all that was done there.

I bought Mind Movie online. This is found at http://www.mindmovie.com/

what this program does is that you can manifest anything that you want with watching these films. One is on money, another on relationships, another on health, etc.

I haven't created my own, yet, as it takes time. But I did see the samples that they gave you. So, I had this on my computer. It runs in the background and you can put the transparency so as you can still do your work but your subconscious takes in the pictures and written affirmations.
This movie was running for a couple of hours.

Now, that brings up to date.
