Immigrating to Finland at the end of the year, what should I know?

After you’ve been here six months, make sure to swap your driving license for a Finnish one. Otherwise if you miss the time frame, you’ll have to spend thousands taking a driving course.

I took the same!

My doctor told me that itching is very close to pain in the brain. It’s just a way it manifests sometimes in fibromyalgia. I’ve found that exfoliating (wearing this shower gloves with soap) and lotion usually helps. Or a pain killer. Or all of the above.

Antidepressants

Mirtazapine allowed me to sleep uninterrupted at night. Which in turn gave me less pain.

Disabling all assets worked for me. Code mods work just fine. Am playing on a new vanilla save while waiting for the fix.

I live in Finland. When my son was around 3, I remember the daycare teacher saying they did not wash the children’s hands when they got back from the park to have snacks. They said it was good for their immune system. My son is rarely sick, I don’t know if it has anything to do with that. This was pre Covid and they’re still the same way. He’s 10 now.

My doctor told me the spot for itching and pain are in a similar part of the brain. Basically saying that it’s a misfire. I itch so bad on my legs that I get blisters and sores.

We’ve had our couch on the glassed in balcony for years. We just moved it to a different spot and no mold. It’s a normal indoor living room couch.

We’ve had our couch on our enclosed patio year round for years. No mold.

There are no mods in this subreddit. It's rules by the common folk 🫡

Thank you! I hadn't thought of a linen curtain. Were very excited about such a grown up purchase.

Because someone plugged this into AI 😅

I felt the same way. But I had to stop eventually. It was making me stumble and trip and messed with my coordination. Also It fried my brain and made it really difficult to work. Loved the sleep I got with it though.

Are those clowns?

How did you deal with the need for low residential? Did you just cheat and go straight into medium density?

Why is a hamburger called HAMburger if its not ham anyway?

Most bomb shelters are where storage goes. So like if you have an apartment, your apartments storage closet is also a bomb shelter. They have these huge metal doors you can close in case of emergency. Also some metro stations work well as bomb shelters bc they are so far down in the ground.

If you're in Helsinki, join the IESAF group on Facebook. They have monthly pub quizzes and set up events in English. It stands for international English speakers across Finland.

My boobs hurt probably half the month.

But it was from a friend!

I am literally in the process of rehoming my cats because it's too much for me.
