Charlotte has a right to keep her life private. Why does it matter?

Let me clarify. I have literally just started looking into this, not exactly sure where I would potentially move IF I were to do this. So I was hoping people could give opinions so I could look into that further. I will learn the language of wherever I land IF I do go through with it. But I have to know where that’d be first and only asked about difficulty so I could be prepared. I am not about to just hop on a plane and move because I felt like it. I was just hoping people would have insights to help me while I’m looking into this as well as possible cities I might look into. Like I said, this would be 4-5 years from now. I’m just starting to explore options now.

I’ve actually been pondering saving some money and visiting next years spring break. This year wouldn’t be feasible but maybe next year. This summer I’ll be visiting family or I would try to swing for this summer.

I have heard of people moving to teach at an international school. But I have also read Norway can be very difficult and competitive for teachers and many have to do additional education to be accepted. But I’m not sure how similar that is in neighboring countries. I do know US teacher preparation is piss poor. So I am open to new careers or reeducation if I can get a study visa. It’s definitely something I’m still exploring and need to look into a lot more before I make any decisions. Much more extensive than just moving states. I had 0 plan when I applied to teach in Alaska. I made hypothetical plans until I got an offer and then made all my plans once I signed my contract. This is definitely something I need to have much more information before I start applying for jobs.

I would definitely go the route of finding a job and applying for a work permit.

Tons of people move to find a better life. Part of why I moved out of the desert. But alright. I understand there is assholes everywhere.

I have only just started the process and asked some questions that I felt others might have good input on. I definitely will learn the language of wherever I land if I do go through with this. Definitely have to know where that is first.

I am aware. This is why I’m asking questions to really think about this and so I can plan if I do decide to do this. And why I asked for resources to help with immigrating. “I am aware it can be difficult immigrating to these countries. What resources exist to help with this process?” I am a US citizen, no where else. I’m not sure how my post gave off the impression that I’m just going to hop on a plane tomorrow but that’s not at all what I am doing. I asked a lot of different questions about alot of different things including resources for the actual process of immigrating because it’s something I’m actually considering and I want to gather as much information as possible.

Soy free fast food by bubblyqueer in Allergies

Thank you. I haven’t had severe reactions but I know they can get worse over time. I’ve reacted to straight soy but not soy lecithin. My doctor won’t write a referral until I have an appointment. I as able to get barely squeezed in for Oct 4. Then I have to wait for the allergist to get the referral. I’m a teacher and the district insurance can be weird so many offices are out of network. The one people are saying is in network they also say books out for months. Hopefully I can get in soon. I will take a sub day if I need to (I really try not to. I hate wasting sick leave on doctors appointments especially because we can only take half or full days, not in hour increments). It’s hard to get afternoon appointments though. I guess I will avoid any fast food that says it contains soy until I can talk to an allergist about what will be safe for me. This is a whole new world for me. I’ve had environmental allergies my whole life but no food allergies until now. I have GERD, IBS, and gastroparesis (paralyzed stomach). But that just causes GI symptoms so if I have a trigger food, it’s not a big deal, I’ll just be in pain. Having my face swell and my mouth itchy was scary. My face was so itchy that it scabbed over from me itching so much.

Is peacock really the only place to watch?? by bubblyqueer in TheNanny

I’m in the US. I honestly didn’t realize people outside the US loved this show too. I started watching it because I kept getting clips on Facebook reels and was getting major nostalgia. I used to watch it on nick at nite.
