Well, not really.The one good thing is that we lucked into an affordable and comfortable old house here in France, so I spent the last of my cash on that…Feb 21Feb 21
Man, I am so fscking sorry to read this.I went through a long period of job instability starting around 2009, well over 10 years, can you believe it? Now I have something that's…Feb 11Feb 11
Lots of abuse in your post, but very little actual reasoning.This has already happened once in your lifetime: Reagan completely changed America, and not for the better.Dec 28, 20241Dec 28, 20241
Hear, hear!We moved to Europe on December 1, 2016, yes, for the reasons you imagine, and things just got much better, even though it's been a struggle…Dec 28, 20241Dec 28, 20241
Thanks for the kind words: it's difficult to find good things in someone disagreeing with you, it…I should have been more polite: I reacted badly to this passage: "Your absolute certainly reminds me of my family's absolute certainty that…Sep 1, 2024Sep 1, 2024
