Well more than half of these folk are Irish and all of them are, or have been, residents of Ireland. I suspect most of them looked Irish to the rest of the Irish too, (for at least as long as they…

You understand that your one-person anecdotal juggernaut does not account for the experiences of other people, right? Let alone in the vast array of university ranks and types in the U.S. The…

I see where you're going with it, but with "lower" prices in the city, you'd be attracting professional people from the suburbs to move back into the city, as they would now be more likely to be able…

How does Trump's alleged collusion with Russian spies relate to the day before Kristallnacht in Germany? If Trump is as guilty as you think he is, no godwinning should be necessary. Absolute…

Good questions. I assume it will be cancelled if it rains but there are other performances on other days. I *might* be available for the 30 July at 3pm performance if we wanted to make a plan B.

I'm leaning towards, "he's just not that into you". That seems to be the simplest explanation, considering that he's 45, he's known you for more than six months, and nothing's yet to happen between…

I was sort of in a similar situation. I grew up in a German-American family in New York; my father and grandparents and their friends spoke a lot of German. My sister and I were told " You are…

About this talk of Aalen as an option: It is only a little bit bigger than Gmünd (60 k vs 50 k), and not nearly as nice. Even an 18 minute commute by train is annoying, you've still got to get to and…
