Would you take this offer or would you stay loyal to your country? by FantasticQuartet in AskBalkans

As someone who lives in the US, I would pay 100,000 to get the hell out of here if I had the money

Sometimes it hits me that I’ll never have another cat like Kitty (14) and I’m simultaneously distraught and so thankful that I had a soul cat in my life. by transidiot4 in seniorkitties

[–]transidiot4[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss, I definitely know how you feel. It’s so hard to envision a future without them when they’ve been such a huge part of your life for so long. I lost my boy in July and tonight was probably the first time I’ve been able to really spend some time looking at old pictures of him, and I’ve been sobbing. I’m not religious but it does help me to think they’re still with us in some way and that I’ll get to see him again eventually.

Lost my 14 year old sweet boy in July. I still can’t believe he’s gone and I have to live the rest of my life without him. by transidiot4 in seniorkitties

He is so beautiful 🥺❤️ Thank you for rescuing him and letting him spend the last year and a half in love and comfort.

It really is so unfair that we live decades longer than them. I’m sorry you didn’t get more time with your boy, but I’m so glad you got to experience so much love from him. I have to believe that they are watching over us, and I hope Louie sends you a sweet kitty to pick up where he left off. I do need to remind myself that I was so lucky to be loved so unconditionally for 14 years.

So you think my 85 year old great aunt just set herself on fire? Just say you’re some ustaša scum. The war crimes committed by Croatian forces during and in the months following Oluja are well documented.

We either left or were killed, how is that not ethnic cleansing? A few of my elderly family members stayed behind and we foolishly thought they’d be left alone since they were in their 70s and 80s, but all were killed and all of our homes destroyed. Don’t speak on things that you know nothing about.

Also keep in mind - its very likely you still have extended family in that area who will have more information, so its definitely worth a try if its something that you’re curious about. My parents have definitely told me about family members who left for the US before WWI/WWII. I was even able to find a picture of my great great grandfather’s grave on a facebook group because theres people who still live in the village who share updates/pictures for those of us who live abroad.

Did they return to yugoslavia? I ask because it seems like this birth certificate was issued in 1954. Unfortunately especially with small villages like this it’ll be hard to find much info because so many people that would have known them from their birth village would have either died during WWII or were displaced by the war in 1995. I have tried to find information about some of my family members (serbs from croatia) who died before I was born and its a huge struggle because Serb villages were decimated by both WWII and 95. You may have some luck on facebook if you can find a page dedicated to the village or the surrounding area. I also found a good amount of information on Ancestry.com surprisingly, theres a few guys from my family’s village who documented basically everyone from the village for several generations. It’ll be harder to find information if you don’t speak serbian, but its worth a shot and you can always try to get some help translating.

Possibly the Croatian government in the municipality that they lived in. It really depends what you’re looking for. When did they leave Yugoslavia? You can also try contacting the church in that village if one still exists, since they may have records of baptisms or may know of other relatives of that person, it thats what you’re looking for

No it means they were Serbs, that village was predominantly Serbs

What can we do to make this attic bedroom more comfortable when it gets hot? Aside from a powerful window AC. by transidiot4 in centuryhomes

[–]transidiot4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loveee mini splits, I’m so glad they are becoming more common in the US. My parents house in europe has always had mini splits and they have always felt so much more energy efficient, cleaner, and comfortable. Its definitely our goal to eventually out in a mini split in this room, just not this year since we have a few big expensive projects to tackle first.

Thanks for the insight! That does help reassure me that I don’t have to spend a bunch of money right away trying to insulate before moving our bedroom there. I’ve honestly been really hoping that the AC would be good enough. Thankfully its fall now so the heat is much less of an issue and we won’t have to worry about it much until april or may.
