Since we have made plans here to open our own business, since our idea is a sound one, and would do well here, we are going to stick around. At least for a while. I really don't have a need to go down to the states and once BDSM_Tourguide gets his visa for here, he can travel between the states and Canada all he wants. That's enough for us, for now.
Besides, appealing takes money and on a minimum wage, single income budget, that's impossible.
