Please take me off the spreadsheet, as I won't be returning to this site. I am stressed beyond belief and reading this stuff isn't helping. I had an ultrasound yesterday and found out that I'm miscarrying... but I'm so thankful that I have my little boy who will be 6 months old next week. He definitely softens the blow.

To those in Buffalo - if you read this site (and I believe you do), please know that you are playing with people's lives here. You cannot even begin to imagine the pain and suffering you cause when you make people wait needlessly. My husband will have to return to the US this summer if he doesn't have his PR by then. Do you think that is fair? I'm in tears and so depressed.
I've promised kitchloo I'll make sure her address is removed from the spreadsheet. I sent pm to ddobro, GOGOGO and wrote messages on this board.
Why don't you answer me? Can anyone respect her wish? Not very reassuring about sharing our info, even with nicknames.
PLEASE REMOVE KITCHLOO FROM THE SPREADSHEET.

I don't believe ddobro comes on here anymore. and if GOGOGO is anything like me they probably don't notice they have a inbox right away.

First of all, it's just two people who have editing allowance on that spreadsheet. Second of all, not everyone comes online everyday. We all have lives outside this board. Give it patience and time for goodness sakes! I thought that immigration taught you patience...

You don't need to be condescending with me. (" I thought that immigration taught you patience..." ).
About that, no immigration did not teach me patience. ( I wish I could be cool and relaxed about all this process). And if it were the case that immigration "taught us" to be patient, there wouldn't be so many people from may, june and july impatient about ppr knowing that according to CIC website, 80% of the cases are solved within 11 months. There wouldn't be SO many people on the forum at all.
==> we're all impatient, impatient for a new update, impatient to receive our PPR/COPR: This forum gives us answers and helps us wait.

and, sometimes being forced to be patient even gets some people cranky.

I am one of those people who get a bit cranky when they wait. but it's not excuse, and you're right on this point: I should have waited more. My apologies to ddobro and GOGOGO: thanks for your time and for helping all of us.

Sorry, I was traveling in the past 2 weeks and was unable to log onto the spreadsheet to make the changes. Now the spreadsheet should have been updated with all the requested changes.

calissons - No worries. I've removed kitchloo from the spreadsheet. Sorry for her and all others who are currently frustrated and cranky. We are not alone and we all understand.
