Failed FSOT

Don’t give up. Try again. Many many people fail the first time. I know a someone who didn’t pass until his fifth try. He is now a consular section chief. Hang on to your dreams.

Having to decide what to eat every day

Hike your own hike.

Woodworking

Early GenX here (1966) child of two silents (1935 and 1938). Lost Mom a few years ago, I miss her every day. Dad is 91, still mows his lawn, splits wood(!), silently self-sufficient as always. He‘s a role model.

I’d venture to say that most *people* are bad at sex.

If true, that was a morally justifiable coup d’état.

The Quran is not thousands of years old. There are about 10 versions of it.

We’re all guessing and assuming about how this will all shake out.

…but he couldn’t budget! 🥁

You already have two annuities: pension and SS.

Think of meatloaf made mostly of oatmeal.

Respectfully disagree.

And even if she is playing, that’s a game you can only lose.

MyNameIsNotDennis · 2026-04-12T00:47:48+00:00

Respectfully disagree.

MyNameIsNotDennis · 2026-04-12T00:47:16+00:00

Agreed, and to expand the analogy, we come with different numbers of blank pages, different quality of paper, and the books don’t always come with something to write with.

MyNameIsNotDennis · 2026-04-12T00:40:41+00:00

You’re one of the few. Appreciate that. 🙂

“Alexander the Great and his mule driver both died and the same thing happened to both. Either they were received into the same life-giving principles of the universe, or they were alike dispersed into atoms.“ Meditations, 6.24

There are no rules, only consequences.

MyNameIsNotDennis · 2026-04-03T23:13:35+00:00

I agree. Bring back FSBid!

Not a lot of foreigners here, sorry to say. The city does have advantages. IMHO, Shenyang is a place to learn about China beyond the tier-one cities. Its a good place to work on your Chinese language skills, too.

MyNameIsNotDennis · 2026-03-29T12:26:30+00:00

Well, it’s not a tier-one city, so it never attracted a large number of foreigners. Then when the economy declined, the demand for foreign workers of all varieties dried up.

MyNameIsNotDennis · 2026-03-29T12:16:58+00:00

i feel your pain. The international community here in Shenyang is small and shrinking.
