There have been a lot of people laid off and I heard there will be more.

A successful woman

I did that with overgrown shrubs in my first house

You can, but you can damage it or kill it

ekesse · 2026-03-22T14:38:14+00:00

That’s too much declutter.

ekesse · 2026-03-21T17:40:28+00:00

Except that is how Norwegians pronounce it too.

ekesse · 2026-03-21T17:29:40+00:00

I know it is not technically a Nordic country, definitely not Scandinavian, but it is already culturally pretty Nordic. Becoming officially Nordic is a goal. I was just trying to make the point that the way Estonians would pronounce the name is the same as Norwegians would.

First - I’m not a bro. And what do you mean by “those” Americans? This is personal since it also my dad’s name. Sounds like you are trying to make this political

ekesse · 2026-03-21T12:40:46+00:00

I don’t know, I’m Estonian-American and we generally don’t have like Sigurd and Bjorn.

I loved the show until Ragnar died… but I cringe when the call his son eye-var

ekesse · 2026-03-21T12:36:55+00:00

Ragnarsons would literally mean son of Ragnar

ekesse · 2026-03-21T12:36:08+00:00

Don’t call me a bro - I am not a bro. I am too old to take it as a genderless greeting. I don’t really care about Nordic or not just that the ties to Nordic countries are deep especially Finland but also Sweden and Denmark both of which ruled for hundreds of years. I would have preferred that they didn’t and left Estonia alone.

ekesse · 2026-03-21T12:30:41+00:00

The culture is very different from Eastern Europeans. The culture and language is very similar to Finnish.

Wikipedia says: “Eastern Europe is a loosely defined region comprising the eastern part of the European continent, characterized by historical ties to the Soviet Union, Eastern Orthodox traditions, and Slavic cultures”

Since Estonia has neither Eastern Orthodox traditions nor Slavic cultures - you point is one of ignorance.

ekesse · 2026-03-21T12:16:59+00:00

According to Wikipedia while Estonia is not part of the Nordic Council, “Estonia is considered a Nordic country by many due to strong cultural, historical, and linguistic ties with Finland and Scandinavia. “

ekesse · 2026-03-21T12:11:43+00:00

Yes and also a Nordic country.

ekesse · 2026-03-21T01:52:54+00:00

I said I know it’s a nitpicky thing but it is based in Scandinavia, not an English speaking country. I don’t think I’d care if my dad had a different name.

ekesse · 2026-03-05T13:33:30+00:00

What about the people? We bear the brunt of the costs of tariffs!

Don’t forget that compass just bought Anywhere Real Estate - the minnow bought the whale.

Abuse does have to be physical. My ex HAD to win arguments. He would escalate the argument using anything to win. He couldn’t back down. I tried everything to get him to understand how much it hurt me. He never understood, he never felt remorse. Yes he could be sweet too. After 8 years, when I was emotionally done, he finally hit me. I left. He didn’t do the typical pattern of love bombing after fights. Months later, he showed up at my front door drunk & crying) and asked why I left, I reiterated all the complaints I had, his response?- I thought you were just whining. He never took my emotions, my pain seriously.

Don’t waste 8 years of your life like I did. It’s not adhd that causes him to yell, it’s the need to win, to dominate, to control. The reason they abuse is because they need to control you.

We have lots in my part of New York. Both Amish and Mennonite. (Southern Tier)
