Re: Why are you unhappy today?
I only had 3 small sachets of powder that I had to mix with water before drinking. Still very unpleasant. But it is worth it in the long run. I was able to view the whole proceedure via a monitor. These poylps look sinister, menacing and malelovent and have no place in my colon. I cheered loudly wh...

Re: Stock market investments
Europe & asian markets hammered... US seems untouched. Crypto started the day very badly but rallied. Wrong! US got hammerd bigly. Stimmt! :( I guess we're watching different news. You had me puzzled, since my advisor told me that our numbers look better today. https://www.theguardian.com/busin...

Re: Stock market investments
As long as you do not sell, you have lost nothing with this correction, as it will come back in time, just wait it out, You just have to live long enough to see the recovery. 4 years is a long time when you are over 70. Yep. These are not easy times for planning. I've got a very healthy mother abou...

Re: Stock market investments
As long as you do not sell, you have lost nothing with this correction, as it will come back in time, just wait it out, and if you have some spare cash around, it maybe a good time to buy, maybe in a few weeks. Lets see what happens next. Having said that, this thread is about the stock market, so ...

Re: Stock market investments
When it comes to the stock market, people don't ever seem to think they've won too much. But any loss always seems to be unbearable. I can generally successfully detach by reminding myself that we’re still really just fine, I’ve got awesome friends, and my lovely nearby walks and that daily view of ...

Re: End of three years of Aufenthaltstitel...what would be the next step
Keep us posted. FWIW none of my relevant documents had to be translated from the originals, which were all in English since I’m from the US.

Re: Home Printer
Update: A few months back we bit the bullet and picked up the Epson ET-4800. It's similar to the ET-2871 above but has the automatic document feeder (ADF) that we need for scanning things like tax documents. We gifted the old HP (with ADF) to a friend who wants to scan all his old his music stuff an...

Re: Summertime/Wintertime - the clocks change soon!
My teaches remotely students in other parts of the world. Some change time summer/winter when we do. Some don't change it. Some change it, but on a different weekend. Compound to the different time zones, there's always some confusion and some meetings get missed. I get it! In Armenia they dispense...

Re: End of three years of Aufenthaltstitel...what would be the next step
Only B1 is required. And your case worker can even wave the test requirement if he/she has evidence that you function at the appropriate level. So you are likely good to go.

Re: used car - buy and sell
After 6 years without a car (outside of rentals at times) we bought a 2023 wagon and took possession of it yesterday! We wanted to be able to make spontaneous excursions to far fetched places in the nearby Alps and to do more outings with the grandkids when they visit in the summer. We’ll see how it...

I took my first ever long-distance trip with the DB this week. Took the ICE from Konstanz-Stuttgart and then the ICE to FRA. I picked up my granddaughter who flew from Yerevan and we spent a day and a night with Armenian relatives in Darmstadt. Then today we took the ICE from Darmstadt-Karlsruhe and...

Re: End of three years of Aufenthaltstitel...what would be the next step
When you are roughly a month out of your Aufenthaltstitel expiry date, go to the Ausländeramt in your rathaus or landratsamt to apply for your Niederlassungserlaubnis. There used to be hurdles such as financial stability and language proficiency before the Niederlassungserlaubnis was given. One wou...
