Well, I'm glad the visa thing is (nearly) done; that's something.

It is indeed. I remember the craziness I went through 10 years ago, and I don't want that to happen this time.

And you're right; this former f'lister may indeed see the times when some of the Pups are really stand-up, lovely, generous people. It doesn't eliminate or negate the loathsome things they've done.
