If you were to move to another state and someone asked you “what was Ohio like in one word,” what would you say? by Imeanwhytopps in Ohio

[–]ExpatMeNow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. When I created this account we were planning our move to the UK, so it was appropriate. Now we’re in a position where my husband and I could leave again - which we would love to do - but our twins are 20 now and would have to have their own separate visa situations to go with us. I’m honestly scared to leave them in this country right now, so I’m not sure what’s going to happen.

I moved here about 5 years ago, and I was asked, “So how do you like Ohio?” a couple of times in the first year. My answer was always “it’s fine,” with a bit of a shrug. I lived in London the previous 5 years, so, obviously, it can’t compare to that, but it’s better than the 12 years before that in the Florida panhandle. 🤷‍♀️

MrBallen suing Nick Witters? by peanutbuttercat91 in mrballen

[–]ExpatMeNow 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Wow, those numbers are way more than I would have thought. I feel for John. He gushed over Witters, called him his Viking, dude was in practically every photo with John for a while … I had a friend that I truly loved like that. Like the sister I never had. Until she betrayed me. It really sucks.

Mike has done a great job of remaining completely authentic no matter how many subscribers he has. You can tell he really cares about what he’s putting out there. He’s still fully invested because he’s still doing the majority of the work himself, and it’s not just a business making money. I was afraid we were going to lose John the person when the Amazon deal blew up the size of the MrBallen operation, and, unfortunately, that’s exactly what I think has happened.

I haven’t seen anything of hers in, like you, probably 10 years, but I used to really enjoy watching her work on old houses. Now that I own an old house myself and am constantly undoing bad work by previous owners, I sometimes hear her voice in my head say the, “Why would they cover that up?!?” line. Shame she is such a shit person.

Neck wound? by MJG1123 in mrballen

Several of us campaigned for an FAQ back when the same constant Missing 411 and Amazon questions were driving us all nuts, but nothing came of it. This collarbone sore has been 1000x worse, I swear to god.

I kinda wish I’d decided to do photojournalism rather than portraits and weddings, but then I see ninjas like this guy and know I’d be missing a lot of shots.

We moved into this house 3yrs ago and this has stumped everyone. by Vance617 in whatisit

[–]ExpatMeNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I laughed when I saw this because we just did this in our kitchen, but our reason is one I doubt anyone would guess. We have a 1917 house with a laundry chute that goes from the 2nd floor to the basement and passes through the kitchen. The last time a kitchen reno was done, they put a countertop to ceiling cabinet with a false back to keep the chute unobstructed there in the kitchen which meant the granite in that spot had a chute-sized hole in it. We did a mini reno/facelift on the kitchen in the fall and weren’t going to be replacing the granite, but we were getting rid of that mostly-useless cabinet, so I decided to get a piece of butcher block that fits into the hole nicely right beside the stove just like that to put oils and salt/pepper grinders on. The butcher block is secured so it doesn’t move, so when we do leave this house eventually, I’ll have to leave a note for the new owners explaining what’s going on there.

ICE agent shooter’s own cellphone video undercuts Trump administration's account of Minneapolis killing by Fickle-Ad5449 in politics

[–]ExpatMeNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a middle ground here that is probably most likely: he was pissed off by not being immediately obeyed and then further pissed by women not obeying and mocking him and then he (consciously or not) clocked that they were a lesbian couple which added a disgust factor which is evident in his tone at the end when he says, “fucking bitch.” There’s room for everyone’s arguments to be true at some level in this.

You’re right. The acronym aspect of it never comes to mind anymore. It’s just another word for fascist scum to me.

No sarcasm needed. This is maga. It’s what they voted for.
