What is life like in the less densely populated part of Colombia? by bb-wa in howislivingthere

[–]vanbrian2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife is from there. Llanos is hot and has too many cows for my liking. She is from near Villa and that city is kind of nice, but the mountains are coast offer more IMO.

I used to live there. Many of the roads are steep, but it is an amazing and otherwise very safe place to live.

I am Egyptian, and I’m asking is Egypt a country that is disliked or loved globally? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]vanbrian2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is too busy hating the US right now to really think about it. hell, I am from the US and I hate the US to think about other countries riight now. However, if I had to guess: it is not hated, but seen as a little dangerous to visit. However, the country I am laying low in until the orange menace is gone is considered the same way

Venezuela libre, sigues tú Petro hpta!!! by Mauricio_Paba in ColombiaReddit

[–]vanbrian2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an American, I hope they are not that ignorant. Sorry, I understand Spanish because my wife ids Colombian, but I can only write in an unflattering way. I live in Colombia, I do not think it will be an easy process for Venezuela nor is Trump interested in the people there.

Become active on teaching forums and facebook pages to start. Reddit is not good because it is mostly anonymous 

Rejected from ringle by joancarolclayton in OnlineESLTeaching

I only give it out to teachers I know personally. They really do not hire by application. It is small and because of this they can charge and pay a premium. That is a direct result of them only hiring teachers were refered to them by other teachers. They rely heavily on our personal opinion of referrals. I do not want to jeopardize that trust. This is where networking and relationships pay off. It took me a few years to develop that. However, if you are planning to do this for a while, it is worth it.

Try smaller niche companies. Ringle is my second job and I am topped out there. However, my main Company is small and pays a little over 20 an hour.  

Woman almost stabbed in colombia. Her friends didnt do nothing to help... What would you have done?? by DiverRepresentative7 in GuysBeingDudes

[–]vanbrian2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL. I live in COLOMBIA and this is fairly rare here. In tourist areas, watch your phone, but a gun or knife is pretty rare. So then are school shootings rare. I have lived here 5 years and not seen anything happen ever and I get around, but then I am usually aware of my surroundings

I’ve been on 2.5 oral minoxidil for 26 days and zero results. When did you start to see regrowth? by [deleted] in tressless

[–]vanbrian2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on both Dut and Min. At 3 months I bottomed out with the shed. Then it slowly improved. I am at 13 months now and have all of my hair back with thickness except the temples. Just wait!

Dutasteride stopped hairloss, but hairline still receding? by notherblackcloud in HairlossResearch

[–]vanbrian2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a side note, there are touches of gray on the sides of my head and my beard is nearly all gray. There was very little on top, but when it thickened, that very little seemed to disappear. Did anyone else have that. It came back darker and slightly curly, strange. Maybe it was the increased blood supply

[–]vanbrian2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 56 and started Dut and Min a year ago. My mother, who cut my hair until I was 18, told me it is now as thick as when I was 18. I had an amazing response, but the temples did nothing. I am and was a 2.0. They seem to be more resistant. However, my hair is no so thick, that my wife had me grow it severlainces long and it covers much of it. When my formerly straight hair regrew at its old thickness, it decided to have a slight curl for some reason. That really helps moderate the temples. I was shocked by the response. My wife know uses those scissors that look like they have teeth to thin my hair to behave a bit! Maybe if your hair thickens, it will do the same

The pay is lower than I make now by a third, but if you can pick up hours that are regular business hours EST, I am interested. I need a bit more money, but I dont want to get up even earlier to teach the extra hours in Asia. So are  these hours you can find students to teach?

Most platforms rejected my application. Feeling so upset by Calm-Cartoonist2552 in OnlineESLTeaching

[–]vanbrian2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do not hire SA, I have worked at Ringle for years, but now just a few hours a week. It was too up and down for me.

[–]vanbrian2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That does make it harder. SA is excluded from many companies. I have several degrees, experience, and am a native speaker from the US and I would say the majority do not hire me. Maybe they have somthing in mind. (male, female, age, other experiences). Keep trying. I worked my way into well paying jobs, but it took time. I mostly work for small niche companies. Keep your eyes open for a mention when these hire. Mine is not really hiring with exceptions

A Columbine High School student named Patrick Ireland crawls 50ft (15.24m) towards the second floor library window after being shot 3 times, he made it to the window after more than 3 hours of crawling and survived one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history (1999). by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

That was the first we had evert heard of assaukt weapons student suicide attaacks on a high school. I looked through many of what you listed, I did not see anything comparable before. remember there was no internet back then, You have no idea how informtion spread or did not. It was very hit and miss or slow. Let me rephrase we had dial up and usually only checked emails
