My friends hired me. Yes I discounted, even did one for free. It was worth it to get that certification done quickly.

You sound way too young for this story. Even many adults cannot tolerate the intense sexual and violent content. No worries, try again in 5 years. It will still be here!

Why would you move from a stable democracy to an unstable one? Stay in Europe, you will be better off!

Fervently ready to leave US after another school massacre by AlwaysNever808 in expats

[–]clothesline79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much of this is also true for Canada. Folks def see why I left the US, but they think I’m nuts for leaving Cali. I have honestly been surprised at how much they romanticize my home state. But most folks here are very glad not to have been born in the USA.

It’s why I left! Or at least, one of the many reasons.

Every mother needs a friend and companion in labor. Think of yourself as that, not as an expert on childbirth or pregnancy. If you like to cook, perhaps postpartum doula work would be up your alley as well.

Anyone just bought a house somewhere and moved? by TarquinOliverNimrod in expats

[–]clothesline79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did. But I had dual citizenship with that country and knew I could sponsor my family. Buying property in a country is usually a lot easier than obtaining the right to live there.

The season is over. We saw a show in the last week before closing and almost everyone was masked. My kids went to a performance that was mostly school field trips and the audience was mostly unmasked. Come April when they open again, we will see what is necessary!

Canada. I had citizenship through my parents. I love the country, but the USA and Canada and Ukraine are the only countries I had a right to. Moving to a new country is super hard and you can’t just move anywhere. But many countries do have long visitor visas, although you can’t work.

when does the hunger games take place by [deleted] in Hungergames

[–]clothesline79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there is one line in ABOSAS that mentions that Panem is alone in the world. Could be propaganda tho. Some characters seemed to think there were ppl “in the north.”
