My guy, I grew up on a chicken farm. This does not scare me.

no underscores either? What are we, apes?

Singular table names? You savage…

I would say get a hotel room, but it has uh, been 6 hours since you posted this so…

As a US Citizen I have quite a few EU friends (I like hanging out there okay?!? and the people are mostly kinda awesome?) and the biggest and most humorous thing I have discovered is that most Europeans don’t realize how small their countries are compared to the US.

Yes. 2 decades ago I met someone I wasn’t attracted to physically, and we had no common interests at all. However she was quite independent and just a smidge dominant and she had one goal: she wanted to sleep with me. That alone lead us down a brief fling which ended with a one night stand. The night was sleepless and enjoyable, but we split up after.

I don’t regret it.

I still occasionally talk to her (as a friend).

People think I am full of it when I say that my household income (largish household with kids) is a quarter million a year and we are basically living like we are middle class. Money just doesn’t go as far as it used to.

As a millennial, I never would have imagined working my way up to this point only to find I can’t even buy a house. Oh sure, I could make the bare minimum down payment and get stuck with a super high mortgage payment, but if I lose my job or become disabled or unable to work, we would have no way to pay for it.

Groceries, housing, and insurance costs have more than doubled for us since 2019.

Mine came in a cardboard sleeve. I still have it somewhere.
