After a long, unhealthy relationship, I ended up in a very promising relationship.

It took many years if half truths to her, and then full disclosures, and eventually, a full and total disclosure of my past, my desires, my weaknesses, the whole lot.

She barely flinched. She saw me for who I was / am.

From that moment we bonded deeper than I’ve ever thought possible.

Nobody could hijack us. Nothing could try to surprise us and derail / damage us. Shame was thrown out the window. There is none. We know everything. We meet as honestly as is possible each day.

Do it. I highly recommend it. However, there was a right time. If we’d done it too early, we wouldn’t have worked.

So with that backstory. Always telling the truth to my partner. No matter how scary it seems.

Truth, truth, truth.

Counselling. Highly recommended

I went from about eight years on Duolingo, not progressing, and within one year in a class environment, I eclipsed my eight years easily. 4 years in German class, I have friends, and am in Germany now, listening to my wife and her old friends shoot the shit, and I understand a LOT of it. More than they’d like me to 😁

I started taking German classes and it’s a small class of about 15 people and the bulk of them are now casual friends a few years later. Some good friends. It’s awesome.

Do them EVERY time. Just. Do. It.

That one little thing will spill into the rest of your life, and your life will change, guaranteed.

How very dare you Sir/Madam!

Why, I’ll have you know…

Hmmm, maybe it is?!

Not a quick one, but when I first met a girl I liked once, I’d say “damn your hair looks beautiful today”. Or, another day “wow, your dress is really beautiful”.

What I was really saying is, “you are beautiful”.

She knew it.

Didn’t take too long. We both became available.

Made the move.

Married her in time!

Cheesy can do it. So can subtle.

Learned.

I achoo (Australia). People in Japan generally ichee.

Look at backblaze b2. Combined with restic over a scheduled bash script, it’s handled mine for many years now at a fair price

That hair.

My goodness. Are you me?

Have you considered starting a business?

I own one. Multi skilled is helpful there.

I believe Australia has business visas. Where you have to start a business and you have X time to make Y money. I’m light on details, but it might be worth a look

Do you have skills? We all do in some way. What are yours?

OMG so I checked the FAQ for my supplier (Aldi mobile):

Can I use WiFi Calling when I’m overseas?

As long as you’re connected to a compatible WiFi network overseas, you will be able to make and receive voice calls at your standard rate; as if you were still in Australia.

I can’t believe it. All this time, I could have been doing that! Ha ha! Thank you!

My wife’s nice bottom, as she walks by. Always makes me smile. Love her to bits.

Sorry, I understand now. That’s a lot of money. I don’t find that low priced. And I live in a very country. Australia.

Where do you come from, out of interest? If you don’t mind.

Where? España

Deutschland?

Low price compared to what currency? That’s the key question.

Absolutely 100%
