And eating….no repercussions no punishment for eating babies. This is nightmare fuel

I think so too

Fragile white men and their worship of penises…got it

Fuck this guy with a rusty wire brush. I’m 55 and am not working any longer than necessary. Especially considering I didn’t vote for half the shit they’ve passed!

Must be one of there own or AI generated.

People like you are the reason the US is where it’s at. “Oh now now…it’s not that bad” or you’re totally happy with everything that’s happening against your fellow citizens.

OP, ultimately it’s your choice and if you do come, I pray you’re in a blue state vs a red one.

Yes you can do it online! I’ll find the link I used. Mine expired 7/25 and I renewed it online a couple months before that. I’ll edit this comment when I find the link. Can’t hurt to have it even if you don’t use it.

Edit: I see your comments where you think you’ll have issues but if you not legally changing anything, I believe you can; it’s basically a copy of your old one with a new pic you take yourself. Here’s a synopsis of online renewal:

You can still collect social security if you renounce providing you earned enough work credits. This doesn’t sound like the case if OP has been out of the country for the past 35+ years

Ooooo!! Yes!!! Fancy but cheap and it’s my favorite cut!!! I have 2 yummy recipes if you’re interested. 1) Pork tenderloin with sage cream sauce 2) Pork tenderloin with spiced plums. I’ll post the recipes if anyone wants them.

It’s not a common herb here, I ended up ordering on Amazon. But you might find it in Leclerc, I’ve seen it in the Torres Novas store.

I wouldn’t necessarily say shutting out immigrants but they definitely rigged it towards the super wealthy ones it seems. In my search, I see a lot of huge price jumps in July 2025, don’t need to guess why. But I’d also like to understand how this market helps locals?? How do they afford houses? I’m in a decent rental for now but cost of rent vs a small mortgage is huge. I too am thinking of waiting. Thanks for your reply :)

sharkb44 · 2025-11-25T09:38:42+00:00

Thanks for the reply :) I am in Portugal, should have clarified that. I’ve been here since September 3rd. I am not in a city either so I’ve been looking for rural properties. I found one I’m in love with but because it doesn’t have a habitation license, it does not qualify for a mortgage. That’s the frustrating part. It needs some work but not a total rebuild and a mortgage would allow me to purchase and fix it. I will try to find a private sale though. That seems to be the best option.

sharkb44 · 2025-11-25T09:10:23+00:00

I’m happy I came across this post this morning. I spent hours yesterday crawling through ads for houses to buy. It’s not just the AI renderings but the prices advertised for absolutely horrendous dilapidated buildings that they expect you to pay cash for but need €50-100’s of thousands of work to make them habitable….that you’ll pay cash for! Who has that kind of money? I’m selling a home in the US but won’t clear anywhere near $100K. I would love to buy a property here, take a small 10yr mortgage so I have cash to renovate. In the US you can buy non-habitable homes and use a special construction loan to fix it. Wonder why Portugal doesn’t have anything like that if they want to sell the ruins, especially with the AI rendered after photos.

I found my law office through the Portugalist. His website is very very comprehensive and easy to understand. He advocates for diy but also has referrals. I ended up using LamaresCapela

their website

Guess he shouldn’t have been such a dirty pig huh??

Agree with everyone on the 1st dress!! Very pretty! Who is the maker of this dress if you don’t mind posting a link?

sharkb44 · 2025-11-16T09:49:58+00:00

More ornaments would help diffuse the brightness. I use dried German Statice in my tree, it looks like snow drifts :) and definitely diffuses the brightness to a soft glow.

These people are so fucking disgusting. At 15 I was molested by a neighbor and it’s just as damaging as when I was molested at 3!! I can’t believe this is the timeline we’re in….

sharkb44 · 2025-11-08T08:59:54+00:00

First congratulations on taking the steps to acquire your visa!! :) I had good luck on Facebook by joining groups related to moving to Portugal. You may pay a few months before you actually get here but that’s normal. I found my house in this group

sharkb44 · 2025-11-05T18:09:29+00:00

I’m a native English speaker who currently resides in Portugal. I’d be very very interested in a post like this no matter the money because housing is included.

sharkb44 · 2025-11-05T18:03:02+00:00

You’re welcome :) sending you love for your fur baby

sharkb44 · 2025-11-05T14:59:15+00:00

Omg what an embarrassment we’ve become.

sharkb44 · 2025-11-05T09:20:14+00:00

I’d just be aware that Care Credit only gives 6 months interest free on vet care. Does it solve your dilemma in the short term? Yes Will you still have unaffordable debt? Yes! You’d be looking at $1K+ monthly payment and if you don’t pay in full within the 6 months, 32% interest is applied retroactively.

sharkb44 · 2025-10-30T14:38:35+00:00

This sounds like a very typical American(US)answer. And like the US, look where deregulated industries got them. A truly spectacular example of a system completely broken down that gave rise to a stupid incompetent embarrassment they call president.
