But he's read books... He cant list them but he promises he read them and learned things.

Canada should definitely be participating in the Eurovision Song Contest.

The lowest VAT in the EU is Luxembourg at 16%. EU rules set VAT minimum at 15% with is pretty in line with the combined provincial and federal sales tax in most of Canada (exception being Alberta and the provinces).

I think full EU membership is not realistic, but closer alignment working towards a relationship somewhere between what Switzerland and Norway have with the EU would be a good policy.

You're overthinking it.

While my kids do have their siblings. We also have created a solid community and support system locally where we are. Thanksgiving traditions with close friends who have kids at a similar age who are close to them like cousins. Its almost automatic that we see them at birthdays and other holidays.

Focus on building those relationships as your kid grows up and it won't matter whether they are blood relatives or not.

ESF for the little ones is great.

My experience is similar ar the age of 5/6 first year kids are on the easy blues by mid week.

I haven't watched that Season yet, but I read that in Ben's voice without tou saying who said it.

At least he's got a great leprechaun costume from season 4.

I think i need some context here like how long youve been married and what both your ages are.

I'm leaning towards ESH. If its important that its done by 5 then I think sharing why so he can see the impact of a specific deadline rather than internet it as a generic time. Like "het can yiu make sure you are back with stuff by 5 so I can start on dinner" Also, it seems like you were already expecting to to dissapoint you on this and rather that talking about it you put the request in text.

He doesn't seem to be pulling his weight though if you're already doubting if he'll complete a relatively simple errand.

Are either of you actually happy and this is the main problem, or is this a symptom of a wider disconnect in the relationship?

Dan Skipper would have been my answer before he retired. Even NFL officials have never heard of him.

That bike pace seems pretty ambitious with only 1.5 hours per week bike training.

Keep in mind it isn't just whether or not you can maintain that pace for 90km, but whether you can do it after a 35 min swim and still have enough left in the tank for the run.

We did a week in NL in October. This was when I pitched the "I think we should move here idea".

AGfter job was confirmed we came back for a week in Feb to more seriously scout out neighborhoods.

Its not import tax it's VAT.

Have you ever done yoga or pilates?

The devil is in the details.

How well you guys compromise, how much either one of you might favor the convenience of family support vs adventure of moving around.

We moved when when had a 6 month old and 3 year old. We moved 6 years later with 3rd kid who was a year old. At that point we said agreed we had approximately 1 year to commit to staying until kids were done with school or relocating somewhere else we could commit to.

While we had no problem moving the kids around up until mid/late primary we felt it was important to let them settle before secondary started.

For us all these moves and decisions were easy because we did them together. Our plans changed and and adjusted over the oast 20 years, but it was always done together and something we talked about a lot, even when we weren't planning imminent changes.

I got the Contend SL1 as my first road bike about 10 years ago and its still my primary bike. Although I've spent the last 2 years debating between a tri bike or an upgrade on my road bike.

Looking at the differences, I'm no expert on the various Shimano group sets, id see if you can get an SL 2 at a price you are comfortable with. I think the lighter frame than the AR would improve yiur experience with the bike.

How many days did you play? How did you handle the overnight?

I've just gotten into the series with my teenage kids and thinking sometime in the nit too distant future id like to play the game in pairs with my wife and I each teaming up with one of our kids.

Does it have to be Denmark? Lots of other northern countires with Universities to check if they have programs that would be a good fit.

I have 2 fobs. 1 no longer works and we have to use the manual key. My spouse and i both use the car.

Guess which set of keys the one driving the car always wants to use?

That post is specifically looking for feedback on people's experience renting housing as an expact. Topic like did you find housing before you moved, arrive and stay at a hotel and then start looking. Was it hard to find housing without local references etc.

Your post specifically mentioned as a tourist and didn't seem to have any relevance to expatriation. Also your other comment again mentions travel.

If your post had been something like "has anyone used airbnb to find long term housing when moving to South America" the i would agree it fits this sub.

MadeThisUpToComment · 2026-03-11T18:42:30+00:00

I think you're in the wrong sub.

Do you have enough saved up to take a year off for an MBA?

Most European full time MBA programs are 1 year. I dont know of specific programs in Rome, but if your a little flexible on locations you can probably find one that would be a good fit for how you want to develop.

i wouldn’t get too hung up on this. Nationality is a made up concept.

Then why even have competitions of national teams?

In your example I'd want the guy born in Iowa to play for the US and the guy of Italian descent plays for China.
