There are a couple of active groups on meetup.com.  I'm sure some of the folks have kids that might be a good fit for you.

We used Rainier https://www.rainieros.com/ moving from US and were very happy with them.  We moved a small amount of furniture and personal things, I think it was around $7000 (40ft container, Houston to Bremerhaven) but we also had to store our things on both sides for a short time.  They packed everything for us and unpacked at the other end.

I grew up in Fargo ND which makes Chicago seem like Miami (Fargo was -35C yesterday)  Our house was insulated pretty well, better than the older house I now live in in Germany.  The places I lived in Texas and California were not very well insulated.  I think the newer houses in Germany are probably better insulated than most in the US but anything more than 20 or 30 years old probably is not.

Bad luck.  I have ordered multi-vitamins several times from the US.  A couple times they were stopped at customs but they released them to me at the customs office (Hanau) without further charge.

The thing is his lies are so obvious that the only reason he got away with it is his stories fit in with what the Spiegel editors wanted to believe.  They were sure everyone in America is a right wing bigot and he delivered the goods.  Most of the falsehoods could’ve been detected easily with a quick phone call or even a simple Google search.

Netflix periodically collects the IP addresses of the servers of various VPN companies and blocks them.   Eventually you will tune in one day and it won't work.  An option is to purchase a unique IP address from the VPN company, which will likely never be blocked.  If it is for some reason, they will issue you a new one.

Those on the far left do seem to feel that the ends justify the means.

I can't imagine the 80% of businesses that won't accept credit cards in Germany will embrace this.

GLS is so bad in our town, they never actually deliver anything.  You get an email (sometimes) that they are "sorry they missed you" and you can pick up your package at local store.

Apparently we were extreme assholes for interrupting his very important texting.

Next time figure out exactly what you want and look up how to say it before hand.  My German also sucks and I have to do that.  Also, nothing against Berlin, I think its a cool town but last time I was there and asked directions from someone on the street he yelled at us for 5 minutes and even followed us down the street yelling at us.

I've received several mortgage loans in both the US and Germany as well as a commercial loan for an HOA.  I can tell you the bank can stipulate just about anything they like before handing over their money to you.  Especially if your credit is borderline.  Some banks require you acquire their credit cards or use their other banking services before they'll deal with you.  The loan I got for our HOA, the bank required us to raise our monthly HOA fees.  No particular reason, they just said raise it or no money.

My cat is offended. 

I would be interested in this.  Unfortunately I don't think it exists in Germany.  There is no MLS as in the US making it extremely difficult to buy and sell property for the average Joe.  On top of that Banks don't seem to know or care what the actual value of properties are (at least from my experience).
