I am 6 or 7 years behind you in age I believe, and bought those albums across the pond 4 or 5 years after you. I was hooked on the MB. Incredibly beautiful music that somehow gave me hope I was gonna make it through those awkward teenage years.

7 more sleeps and my son and his wife (my daughter) will be here!!!! Happy for you!! I presume you don't mean what I understood at first otherwise maybe not such a good thing.... Alberto, English is all about the fun, the flexibility, the power of word play, the double meanings (she loves her DIL l...

Right, my oldest is currently living in the US as she is studying for her masters before returning back to Germany. I need to post something to her.... an old family item that does have a solid value, but also sentimental. I've looked at various methods of posting this item, but with the wave of &q...

Oh happy day! Just got my Telc-B1 certificate in the mail, which I need for my citizenship application, and I made a "Sehr Gut" (97.5%). I'm just SO SO glad to have that behind me. I'm simply too old to take any more tests.

My German/American hubby dealt with the tax stuff. If @pandamunich doesn't come along to answer your question on that I'll ask him about it for you. I have an SSA.Gov acct I can log into to verify all of my social security information, and I'm not even collecting it yet. I just scanned that info and...

Took me a minute. "Ages" came to me quickly," but the dreaded "c-word" took me a bit. The "neighbor" vs "neighbor" helped me shift too. Separated by a common language and all that stuff comes to mind. :lol: (Neighbours needs an apostrophe!) Look, I start...

I'm overcoming jet lag fairly easily. Got up and went with my walking group today at 8:30 (12:30 am in Colorado) and really enjoyed the brisk air and the fall colors. One thing I notice is that many people here complain about weather nonstop. ;) I mentioned what a lovely fall day it is and one gal r...

Just arrived back to ZRH and heading home to Konstanz after 18 days visiting friends and family in Chicago, Kansas, and Denver. We spent a good chunk of time with my mom, who’s 88. She was thrilled. Hadn’t been back for two years. Lots has changed since then, but thankfully our trip went well. So I’...

I’m in Denver now and we’re preparing to watch the show here in real time at 10:35 MST. Sinclair stations are boycotting it.

How did it go?

In 4-6 weeks the result will arrive and you’ll either see a post in the Happy or the Unhappy thread from me. I’m optimistic.

I get the impression that this can vary widely from place to place within DE.

I had ongoing headaches and dizziness in May/June (long since gone thankfully) and needed a hastily arranged CT scan to rule out bad stuff. This took place where I live, in Konstanz. The scan took 5 minutes with the radiology tech and 10 minutes later she handed me an envelope with results to bring ...

What awesome news! So glad you followed Fraufruit's suggestion and gotyerass back over here in this thread Alberto! :lol: I'm very happy, cuz I had my Telc-B1 Prüfung on Wednesday. It's over! :D Results come in 4-6 weeks. Hubby and I fly to the US on Thursday for 3 weeks to visit friends and family ...

Not happy today because I made it to Interlaken, one of the bestest place for mountain activities, and yet I'll probably spend most of the day stuck in the hostel because of rain. Happy because the hostel is fantastic and full of nice people. And tomorrow it is forecasted dry and warm. I plan huge ...

@babitt said: suppose I, age 67, need go to the US to take care of my 88 year-old mother and it ends up being an 8-month stay. Meantime, my apartment is here, my health insurance is here, my husband is here, … @alberto said: I think you are wrong. I "think" if you stay out this long, you w...

Also be aware of those people with zodiac sign "askhole": They'll ask for your recommendation, then don't listen, and finally come back to you to fix verkackte tinnef that you explicitly warned about from the beginning. :lol: Thx for this gem. I am studying for my German exam that takes p...

Eine Niederlassungserlaubnis erlischt auch bei einem längeren Aufenthalt im Ausland nicht bei einer ehelichen Lebensgemeinschaft oder eingetragenen Lebenspartnerschaft mit einem deutschen Staatsangehörigen So that's why I'm asking. According to that, I won't lose my residence. But I've heard differ...

My understanding is that retaining a permanent "residency" permit is contingent upon "residing" here, which you clearly aren't planning on doing. Citizenship confers the benefit of allowing one to reside wherever one chooses to and coming and going as one pleases. But I am not a ...

Happy cuz I spent a day with a dear friend visiting from the US. The weather was fabulous and we took a boat ride on Thunsee, visited the castle grounds in Spiez, and took a tram up to the lookout station above Interlachen. On the train back to Konstanz now. I got to watch the sun set as the train r...
