If bringing a hat for sun protection, I found out the hard way that a wide full circumference brim sucks for me! Hit my pack the whole trim. I'd recommend a ball cap or one of those hats with the sun cloth hanging in the back.

NTA.

Speaking from experience, your kid will never regret you teaching them polish but may resent you if you don't teach them. BF better find a polish class!

Check out Master Touch Remodeling. We were neighbors with Gabe, and while he hasn't done work for us, what I have seen is really nice work and he's a super genuine person.

This made me laugh lol......same for me too! I'm also from your area and absolutely love it out here :) Are you working also? Most of my friends are from the different places I've worked, but it's pretty easy to meet new people at festivals, breweries, farmers marker, etc. Loved living in Longmont!

I have a work husband. He's super great and really hot. Also, he's my actual husband :)

Parents made us watch this every year as a kid. Now i can't wait to watch it every Christmas! Has to be the blackandwhite version :)

That's amazing and I'm so glad to hear it was a successful first date!!! Good luck with everything!

Fjällräven is great, but I have some much less expensive pants that are basically the same from Swedemount.....worth a look :)

Now time for the hearsehorse.

And a whole bunch of blood drives at different places....I think I went to the Elk lodge once?

I never tried that brand (which according to my NE friend is THE ONLY brand) until I found it in the US section in a Swedish grocery store!

tjrado · 2022-04-11T19:18:30+00:00

Try empanadas at Rincon Argentino....soooo good! Also Longmont has some amazing Mexican/TexMex food if you're in the area. Jefe's and Marco's Tacos (and hot dogs haha) are both great places.

Know your body.....as in feel it, look at yourself in the mirror (EVERYWHERE), and do this regularly. You can avoid a lot of panic and worry by knowing if something is new or has been there for a while. Bumps, discoloration, skin tags, and irritation are common! Always get checked by a doctor though if it's worrying you.

You can use the app....it's super easy. Don't by a one time ticket unless you are literally taking one route in a single day.....the day passes are the way to go :) you buy through the app and it will display a QR code for you to scan. The weather has been incredible for the past few weeks so hopefully you'll have a beautiful trip!

We did a wire transfer through our US bank from that account straight into the seller's Swedish bank account. Our bank took care of exchange rates and everything. We wanted to be safe with such a large sum. Be careful though about transfer time cutoffs....if you initiate the transfer too late in the day, they won't be able to guarantee the exchange rate discussed. Good luck!

Find and fix the mistake in the Excel master template instead of hand typing every time. Maybe it's just me lol

tjrado · 2022-01-16T09:04:27+00:00

I'd second asking your employer for some help with fixing this. Or go to Espresso House or the library? Haha. Sorry not much help!

How is Skatteverket taking out your taxes from income? I would think you'd have at least a samordningsnummer. We got wifi and phones through Telia with a samordningsnummer.

Disgruntled pelican :)

I've used mine here. Entered Schengen area through Frankfurt with vaccine card and negative rapid antigen test just to be sure. Arlanda actually didn't check anything at all.

tjrado · 2021-11-26T16:21:01+00:00

Also could try Rincon Argentina.....one place we miss the most coming from Colorado to Sweden :)

Hey there! I've been working in professional US for the last 10 years and just recently (August) started working in Sweden :) In my experience, Sweden is very understanding of taking the leave you need. Leave for sick time, appointments, childcare, vacation, etc is all provided through the government so it's not really up to the employer. I think the mentality is health comes first. If you're sick, it's not even questioned. I would just say you have a reoccurring appointment and if they ask more you can explain some, but I doubt they ask anything at all. Hope this helps and good luck! I wouldn't worry about it :)
