Rysavy,when are you going to Poland?
:)
The PLAN... about 5 yearsthough I may visit Poland sooner while seeing my good friend in Helsinki and my cousin Marya in Poplze.
(lol..i have learned to always consider plans as a goal.. in case life throws a spanner in the works)
The "schedule" that my paramour relocates here to the US,
(and if I do not reject him for a third ear or having a tail:: I'm being silly.. but he does seem sure to leave me a"break out clause"' to avoid his secret RL hideousness- and if you are reading dear? :p )
...we marry this year and we both sock away money for a few years enough to start a business. He thinks to move back in about 5-8 years. So I expect some time to learn about day to day life in Poland and get a modest vocabulary of Polish.
Reality is that he is very close to his family and if ANYthing happens to his mum or dad, he'd want to go back right away. And if he is successful with a job within his BA robotics..he may embrace American lifestyle to point of not wishing return except in the case mentioned above. He is already more American than I am except on the view about firearms.
Edit: BTW he is from the region of Bialystok.. I haven't noticed anything particularly provincial about him ^-^
If we were sitting in a pub/cafe and I had asked you with a smile while looking you right in the eye you'd have seen there was no guile or hidden agenda behind the question, just,...curiosity and conversation.
:) you are right about that. Though I took it as more of a surprising question than one of any bad intent. Since I box "temporary visitor for work /vacation" separate from "resettling/retiring in another country".
another who was just as matter-of-fact that he had not been "home" in over 17 years and no longer thought about going back even for a visit. I remember when he died his daughter (mid-to-late 40's) took the news with an "okay, thanks for telling me", hung up the phone and didn't even come
:( that is sooo sad. it can happen even if the child lives in same region and country.
I'm the only person left who attends to and sends flowers to my X mum-in-law's gravesite. And I pay a kid to clean it up every quarter...well I pay his kid now. LOL child labor.She left millions in trust to her kids and the grandkids, but will be forgotten by all but my oldest son when I'm gone.
