Raia, did I ever tell you I was watching the news on the 4th of July, and they said your name at the ceremony for new citizens, well they said it a little wrong, but still close enough I'm sure they meant you. Very funny!

Welcome to America, Raia So now you're a dual citizen of Israel and America? That's what I am, too.

(So, for non-Jews, is Congratulations better than Mazel Tov, or is it like Happy Hanukkah? I mean, what do you prefer seeing non-Jews writing?)

!Felicidades! A mi tambien me toco eso de la naturalizacion. Mi mami me paso su ciudadania, asi que mi proceso fue muy diferente, pero de todos modos las dos fuimos ciudadanas extranjeras en Estados Unidos. Me alegro por ti.

Oh !! What a shame !!! You are an american citizen... I can't speak to you. Why don't you become a french ???? You could gain elegance and style and creativity. You could really eat better. And the most important : You could sing in our opera...

You could become Italian by the same token, except that the rest of the world won't really hate your nationality, you gain elegance but not pretence, you have more variable style to gain, and you eat from the top cuisine on Earth (maybe with the exception of my grandmother's secrets of eastern European recipies) and you have just as many operas to sing in.

I used to work with someone who was married to a Canadian. She had to miss work one day to accompany her husband to the Immigration and Naturalization Service to sort out some paperwork. A co-workers said "I didn't realize that your husband was an alien". Without missing a beat, I chimed in, "That's nothing. My husband is a mutant". It's been years, but that comment still gets brought up.
(My husband has muscular dystrophy, which he inherited from no one in his family -- it was a spontaneous mutation)

Hey Raia! Congrats. Of course, we all know that no citizenship can take away your Martian identity.

Why not?
He's being silly, just reminding the stupid relations between the USA and France... But our presence here is the perfect proof of compatibilities between Frenchies and Americans!

Actually I just saw your post above mine, I was sure you hadn't answered which is why I did. Sorry Posts: 3526 | Registered: Oct 2001

And the second implies that you have something specific to say to that person, perhaps requiring a response, perhaps not.
