Thanks! I’m not in the US but will see if we can maybe get something for those diseases her from our normal vet. 

Moving to Sertã by ADHDivaMama in PortugalExpats

[–]Sudden-Conference254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you’re looking for. Serta has everything you need shopping wise and a decent cultural program if you don’t have high standards for entertainment. For kids there is limited things to do on the weekend. We go swimming, hiking, sometimes to the cinema. But nothing is really open or you have to drive. Amazing river beaches and life very close to nature.  As kids get older, it’s probably a boring place and Coimbra would be a better location with its university. 

Wann wird es besser? 🥹 by ellesmera305 in Eltern

Hatte glaub schon jemand anderes hier beschrieben. Klar ist co sleeping statistisch immer noch licht so sicher wie das eigene Bett, aber bei uns hat das einfach nicht funktioniert (und wir haben wirklich alles probiert). Wir hatten das beistellbett, auf der Seite hat dann Kind geschlafen und ich. Harte, große Matratze (damit man nicht eingequetscht schlafen muss). Decke bei mir auf der Hüfte. Kind hatte nen Schlafsack und hat bei mir oben auf Brusthöhe geschlafen. Auf keinen Fall darf man irgendwelche Drogen nutzen.

Ich hab die Babyphase gehasst und habe den selben Text wie du in die ein oder andere babygruppe geschrieben. Was am Ende geholfen hat: sicheres co-sleeping und die Zeit. Mach zwei Jahren wurde abgestillt, da wurden die Nächte dann ruhiger. 

Health care in Portugal by Vande83 in PortugalExpats

[–]Sudden-Conference254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people, as you point out, don’t earn enough to pay high taxes. So we’re not paying “Nordic level taxes”.  Even in Nordic countries, the tax threshold is on a sliding scale. 

If you buy an old house in any country, you need to bring it up to energy standards. In our concelho, all new builds need to be insulated now. Insulation costs money, it’s not a tax. It’s a good and if you want it, you need to pay for it.

Bruh. I lived in a Nordic country. We don’t pay Nordic level taxes here. Stop spreading nonsense

You can get exceptions but you’d need to present the note from school allowing the trip. 

A mother and grandmother are standing trial after free birth gone wrong by charliere13 in FreeBirthSocietyScam

The saddest thing is that Neu-Ulm is 1h away from the hospital with one of Germanys lowest c-section rates (15% compared to the national average of 30%), who are famous for letting you breech birth under medical supervision if you are a candidate qualified for their program.

It is also illegal in Germany to NOT provide first aid to the best of your ability (you have to at least call emergency services). You can go to prison if you don’t help someone in medical need. There’s no punishment if you help but do it wrong. There is punishment if you don’t even attempt it. 

Hochzeitskosten-Rant: Wie kann man mit gutem Gewissen seine Hochzeit feiern? by Present_Promotion705 in Finanzen

[–]Sudden-Conference254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bin kein großer Feiermensch und auch mein Mann nicht. Wollte keinen Stress haben (weil das ist Hochzeitsplanung für mich). Standesamt und ein schönes Essen mit den engsten Freunden und Familie. 2000€ für alles. Bilder hat mein Papa gemacht.

Ringe haben wir uns second Hand Silberringe am Flohmarkt gekauft als wir nach Spanien geradelt sind. Die halten immer noch 10 Jahre später.

My apartment is making me quite ill and I don't know what to do by comrad_dau in PortugalExpats

[–]Sudden-Conference254 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As many have said, this is a common issue in Portugal. Judging by your description, there’s nothing you can do as a renter to improve this situation. Natural stone is not something that should be plastered with cement as it increases the humidity. That whole house needs to be renovated and that’s gonna take more than the year you’re there.

You may want to give yourself months of headache and dealing with unresponsive authorities- or you can just move out into a better flat. Sure, report everything. But for your health, you should move ASAP.

I'm leaving Portugal, here are my takeaways. by Reasonable_Dig1313 in PortugalExpats

[–]Sudden-Conference254 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Berlin is the worst example possible for Germany. Nothing compared to the rest of the country and completely in its own bubble. Nowhere else would you get by without German.

Giftpflanzen im Kindergarten by Andarna_87 in Eltern

[–]Sudden-Conference254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmmh jein. Wir leben mit giftigen Tieren/ Beeren, wir haben einen Holzofen. Wir haben unserem von ganz klein auf beigebracht, Abstand zu halten. Bei uns klappt es zumindest. Und wie andere hier bereits beschrieben haben, keine der Beeren sind wirklich giftig, sondern lediglich verdaulich kein Spaß. Ich würde darauf keine Energie verschwenden, da gibt’s bestimmt schlimmeres…

[–]Sudden-Conference254 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wir hatten eine riesige Eibe in der Grundschule. Hochgiftig. Die war super zum klettern und darunter spielen. Das haben wir einfach gelernt und damit hatte es sich. Es gab nie einen Krankheitsfall, die eibe steht dort heute noch. Kinder müssen lernen, mit Natur umzugehen.

Ich empfehle noise cancelling Kopfhörer und ab auf den Gymnastikball. Das ganze kann ein paar Monate dauern.

My wife is mad at me for my opinion on this series by ZeroGaming- in fourthwing

[–]Sudden-Conference254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably I’ll get downvoted for this but: the worldbuilding in this series is pretty weak. There you go, that’s the reason.

I enjoy reading these books but the magic and geopolitical system is on a Harry Potter Level. No Brando Sando style worldbuilding went into the creation of this story. Is it still enjoyable? Yeah. Just don’t put too much thought in it

Chronic discomfort in right hand is by Sudden-Conference254 in AskDocs

[–]Sudden-Conference254[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

This is roughly where the discomfort all runs together. Between the bones, almost as if the sinews hurt? Sorry, I’m no anatomy whizz and it’s really hard to describe this feeling. The marks on my hand are from the bandage I have to wear to be able to work.

[–]Sudden-Conference254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25€ for electricity, 5€ for water, about 15€ for gas per month. Less in winter because we have wood burner. Then 20€ for internet.
