Everyone? I personally know a lot of Austrians who consider it a headache, internationally. Consider having to explain, over and over and over, No there are no freaking kangaroos here, I live in central Europe!
No it's been only stop-and-go here. Some flurries, some showers, just enough you can look out the window and say Yep, it's snowing. Not enough to be pretty, alas.
Have you any favorite music groups that all your friends have never even heard of? I really like Colosseum (and their later incarnation, Colossuem II) but they were never well know in the States, never toured here, and nobody I know ever heard of them:
Renaissance is another fave of mine no one I know ever heard of:
Both are awesome but it's so difficult to tell people who "never heard them on the radio"!
When the term "LDR" comes up here, folk invariably think of couples who have met long-distance...like, online. Like, here.
But there's another sort: couples with military spouses, or others who must by need spend extended periods of time far, far away. Some such couples have spent many years apart.
Are there issues for those couples? Sure. But they're not much different from issues any couples must deal with. Money and trust have been mentioned here. I wonder what sort of relationship does not have such issues?
Migsy I'm glad to hear you've found someone and I hope all works out well. But that needn't mean you leave. After all, you're everyone's favorite scammer! Besides, the CS card engine, once you suss out how to use it, is worth the price of admission (free) by itself.
Am I allowed to vote? 'Cause I'm American, and we're all supposed to be so stupid and ignorant that we know nothing beyond our own borders, and even less inside.
But if I can vote, I'll say Sealand. (It's located on an offshore oil-drilling platform, off the east coast of England.)
We're 9 hours apart, driving time. So far (nigh 2 years), either of us makes the trip as often as we can. That's been about half-and-half. Come vacation time, though, she typically drives up here, as I live near an airport and she does not.
My thoughts are, T'ain't no such thing as a "personal facebook." That's an oxymoron. You signed onto Facebook, you put it out there for everyone to see. What did you think you were signing up for?
I think the chat room is great. I met a sweet and wonderful woman in the CS chat room, although that relationship ultimately did not work out.
I see you're in Australia. Since I work nights here in the US, when I visit the chat room it is almost exclusively populated by 'roos and kiwis. I have always found them friendly and fun.
But there's this: as with any chat room anywhere, it tends to be dominated by the regulars. Breaking in and getting comfy can seem daunting. You say you're military-minded? You must understand the concept of rank, then.
But it only takes about 3 days in a row of stopping by, being polite, and being friendly, to become one of those "regs." A tip to make yourself welcome: whenever someone comes in and everyone else says "Hi so-and-so," chime in. Couple days of that and everyone will welcome you.
(Although they don't actually say "Hi so-and-so." Instead, they echo the last letter of the user's name: "Userrrrrrrrrr," for example. That means they just noticed a familiar name enter. But you can just say "Hi so-and-so" when they do.)
Give it another try, they are sweet people generally.
When I was about 12, at summer camp, I got into an argument with another camper about whether the electical fence by the horse corral was live or not. To prove it, I grabbed a strand.
When I woke up, I realized I had been wrong. But I wouldn't call that adventurous. Just stupid.
