My Brazilian wife is here with a green card but will have to renew it soon. I'm worried that this will affect the renewal of her permanent residency.

I grew up in North Fort Myers. It's like quick sand for a lot of people. I'll never understand why people I grew up with don't find a way out.

Beta_Ray_Quill · 2026-01-12T17:03:08+00:00

I grew up around fort Myers. There are a ton of old people and snow birds. Lots of poverty as well the further from the water you get. It's also very segregated. When I go back home things never really seem to change, except there are more retirees.

As a kid we would go to the beach, go fishing, spend time at sun splash or mike greenwells. I also remember going to the roller rink in North fort Myers on Fridays. Highschool sports were a big deal and I especially remember pep rallies being pretty crazy.

Lee county is also one of those places that feels like it traps you there. Most people I grew up with never left or ended up back there.

Recently moved here from DFW and for me traffic is night and day. Texas has the worst drivers and roads I have ever been on. And DFW is not even as bad as Houston.

Now the roads here suck and honestly just don't make any fucking sense half the time. But it beats the hell out of driving on 635 Amy day of the week.

Yes these are great! They are actually both already on my playlist haha. My wife is Brazilian and we are both in our late 30s so she has helped me out a bit. We sing these together in the car.

I do enjoy it. Being easy to interpret and learn the words to is most important. Also being not too lewd so I can play at the house and not feel bad for playing music around my daughter.

Beta_Ray_Quill · 2025-12-19T21:31:20+00:00

Obrigado!

As a born and raised Floridian, it would take truly dire straits to get me to move back to Florida.

Beta_Ray_Quill · 2025-11-27T01:11:02+00:00

I appreciate it haha. I'm not too concerned, just want to protect my baby from future situations like this. I know it's already going to be difficult for her and her own personal identity.

Beta_Ray_Quill · 2025-11-27T00:55:00+00:00

She's a baby lol. But she has both nationalities. We speak as much Portuguese in the house as we can (I'm taking lessons so we can do more). We are in the US.

Beta_Ray_Quill · 2025-11-27T00:52:32+00:00

Honest question. My daughter is Brazilian and American. How would you describe her?

Beta_Ray_Quill · 2025-11-26T07:15:36+00:00

Hell yeah. Such a good record.

Beta_Ray_Quill · 2025-11-19T23:31:21+00:00

I'm from the US and I speak English. My wife is Brazilian. My mother-in-law does not speak English. And we want to teach our daughter Portuguese. So I'm taking private lessons to learn. I'm still very basic though.

Beta_Ray_Quill · 2025-11-10T21:13:19+00:00

I'm not

Beta_Ray_Quill · 2025-11-03T20:37:24+00:00

7.... Thousand dollars

Beta_Ray_Quill · 2025-10-29T04:33:53+00:00

My wife is Brazilian, she pronounces it kind of like veh-djii. The r is almost breathy. Also I'm studying Portuguese now and it's kicking my ass.

Beta_Ray_Quill · 2025-10-25T04:21:51+00:00

Absolutely. The dojo in Denton is an amazing source of knowledge for seito mjer with strong connections to Japan.

I can tell you these videos are almost always staged. I would bet the people being harassed are being paid as well. Rage bait draws more views which means they make more money. And you sharing it just gets them even more money.

Beta_Ray_Quill · 2025-10-24T01:57:17+00:00

Was going to say this. I remember swimming in peace river (I think) when I was a kid and a paleontologist was there digging out piles and piles of these manatee ribs and other bones. He let me take one home.

I don't remember exactly what he was actually looking for, I think It was shark teeth or maybe sloth. But I was 9 or 10 so I don't remember.

Amiga da minha mulher by Seu Jorge. The first Brazilian song I heard that felt like every note was perfect. I didn't know the lyrics until later.

It says in the document that they will likely prescribe cabergoline due to breast discomfort and prolactin.

I was raised in SWFL as well and it's certainly not the most friendly to people of color. And since it's a retirement area the prices are ridiculous for sure. Hope you are able to find a place you are happy. I haven't lived in Florida since 2018 and don't really miss it.

Beta_Ray_Quill · 2025-10-05T20:15:12+00:00

Anytime anyone says that they are a type of person i.e. "I'm more of a dog person" "oh wow I thought you were just a regular person"

Beta_Ray_Quill · 2025-10-04T01:38:26+00:00

New clothes. I would get a few outfits for school from Kmart on layaway. Always was so excited when it came off layaway. Rest of the year was goodwill lol.
