To Farrah

I found your comment very interesting about the teens marrying for gifts or money, and maybe marrying torrorists.

I have often thought about that also with my Jordanian friend. What do any of us know about these men past or present lives. I don't like to judge arabs and I don't, but the first thing I asked when I begin to chat with him was his feelings toward 9/11.

My friend has already been to immagration in Amman to ask about procedures after our marriage and he was confronted with questions of why I am 8 years older than he, why nonwhite, and is it a fake marriage. He felt the man was very rude and mean (laugh). The man even told him he could get him a younger, 24 year old white easy, if he just want to come to the US. My friend replied to him, that he doesn't want to just come to the US, he was coming to be with me. He told me all about the conversation and said we will not go to that office, we will go to another. I know there is a screening process and an interview.

I am an attractive lady and i don't give him money and he doesn't give me any. I did send toys to his kids once. So everything seems to be normal right now. I pray if he is leading me on, just to get over here, that the Interviewing agent will detect it. I have questioned him myself and keeping my eyes opened for everything. Will we the wives be interviewed also?
