Principal almost died.

I really have to stop talking about all of this or I am going to start backing today to move back. I will say you never really know where you come from until you move.
that was not in plano, that was here in germany :DQuote:

True, but you will never find home if you don't move - all my life something is dragging me to move, but always when I am ready, something happens that binds me here - last year In august I met my todays boyfriend... I wanted to move to some EU-State in December...

I know what you are saying the only thing keeping me from escaping from LA is my web site, I just need to build up enough members before I move on. My whole life now is my web site how sad is that :( I just want to get this done, I am a bit driven to a fault, I just really have to get this one progect done before I can start another one.
You guessed right, I am the German Guy of the board here :DQuote:

I might travel someday over there, but it might be a bit to cold for me, I normally like it between 80-95 degrees in the day and about 75-80 at night. I have been thinking about Barbados, but will check that out more while I am in FL. Are the Taxes not really high in the EU that what I hear anyway. The Gov wants to much of my money as it is now, as I recall Barbados does not have any income tax at all :)
Well I always say they should take all the money we earn and give away food tickets to trade and barder...
LOL communism does live :) Thats really scarry man dont say that suff, how many hambergers you think I could get for acess to me adult sites? :hmmph:
a value meal at MickyD's is about €5 - makes it $6 - so, now you do the math :D
movie theater ticket between €4.5 to 7.5 (if it is a looong movie add another 0.5 to 1 €)
Diesel €1.14, Gasoline about €1.35 per Liter (1 l = 0.264 US gallons, 1 gallon = 3.7 liter --> 1 gallon gasoline here in germany is about $5)
1 liter of milk is about 55 euro-cent
cant come up with more prices - if someone wants to know just holler :D

so $1.17 is the gas and $3.73 is tax :D we still pay taxes for our cars so we may drive, insurances, tax on both...

The whole thing is ridicules, I just wish people would be less hostile to one another so we would not need all the Gov BS, but I do live in a fantasy land sometimes. :sun:
