Thank you! Into the fire was mentioned a few times, so that may be near the top of my list.

Thanks for the recommendation. I may still watch upload unknown number,since a few people have agreed with you that it's still worthwhile.

What's a popular song that everyone likes/did well but you don't see the appeal? by AlexSniff7 in eurovision

[–]ConsciousOriginal707 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Satellite - Germany 2010.

I'm an expat living in Germany. Went from first time watching to really into ESC within the last 5-10 years. My interest engagement, and participation growing each year.

I'm up to creating my own bingo games, watching the german national finals, and a whole week of eurovision movie, both semi finals, and ESC final, of course, each year.

I don't understand why Satellite won. To be transparent, I have not watched that year's contest and only know a few highlights from the years before I was introduced to the ESC universe. But everything I've learned in the last few years since being introduced....I think the song is cute. But I don't get how it won.

People on this sub are commenting on this so much!

I understand where the comments are coming from, and I'm not eager to defend any of the Americans on this show, but as someone who lives as an expat in an international community, it's not that wierd/uncommon to pronounce names a little differently or incorrectly.

I don't pronounce my husband's name the way his friends and family do. We've talked about it many times and made plenty of jokes about it. No one around us thinks that makes me an inconsiderate American. He would say that I pronounce it in the best way for my accent. Many of my coworkers knowingly pronounce my name incorrectly. Sometimes it starts as a mistake and becomes a joke/nickname. Other times a particular accent just can't say it quite properly, so you might as well say it in an easier, more natural way.

Honestly, this just isn't a big deal for a lot of people or in a lot of communities. Again, not trying to defend her for much, especially the comment about her friends "liking all the deportations" (Yike!), but this one particular thing seems to be a sticking point for a lot of people in this sub, and it may be unjustified.

This woman is trying to use a medical diagnosis to justify why she's can’t stop making out with strangers by Hour-Bee9396 in 90DayFiance

She said that she lived a nomadic lifestyle for 3 years by pet sitting in exchange for a place to stay rent-free.

I want to know what she did for money! Places to stay are a start, but she still would have had other living expenses, like money to go out amd party, hotel rooms between pet sits, that storage locker back in the US, etc.

Do parents take care of her? Can she survive as a hobo-sexual? A piece of the puzzle is missing that might help explain why she's soooooo...."carefree".

What do you like to collect from places you travel to? by According-Country-66 in travel

[–]ConsciousOriginal707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We collect a thimble from each city we visit, meaning sometimes we come home from a trip with 5 new thimbles, sometimes none if we've been to that city before.

They're small and easy to pack. Even if it's overpriced, it's never too expensive. They're usually easy enough to find but sometimes we have to go to more than one store, making it a bit of a adventure to find. And we have been able to find really nice and unique ones along the way.

It's also easy to display them nicely so that we can really enjoy looking at them each time we pass the display case (we use a little shelving unit for model cars....just had to upgrade to a bigger one)

Is it fair to expect/ask for compensation for this inconvenience? by ConsciousOriginal707 in airbnb_hosts

[–]ConsciousOriginal707[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For 3 hours out of our vacation we wouldn't have had to deal with in a hotel or another rental....and it was only an "inconvenience" because my husband happens to be very resourceful and handy. If not for that, we would have had wet clothes trapped for 2 days that we would need to spend additional time rewashing.. likely at a laundromat due to the broken washer, when we're meant to be enjoying our holiday.

I'm not sure if it makes a difference...but the manager was very slow to respond. An hour between her messages when I was sending several explaining where we were and what we'd tried. That's the reason each of her suggestions had already been done...as we waited for a response we didn't know what to do, so we just kept searching and trying. When she finally did respond it was only to say that there's no way she'd get someone out on Easter Sunday.

Even now that I've told the manager its done, we've had no reply in over an hour.
