Best of luck with preparing your house. I (and at least two other members here) have prepared for and completed moves to new homes). My husband and I sold our house in the US just over 13 months ago. Here's wishing that you get a great price for your home so that you can settle nicely at your destination.
I saw that BethRags asked where in Europe you live? I'm curious now, too, if you're comfortable sharing that. I'll assume you're somewhere in my current area of Europe. Though Czech Republic seems a bit safe from Putin, it's true that one never knows. Czechs had to live under the oppression of the Soviet Union for way too long. There's virtually no one in CZ that would ever want that again! As an American, the prospect of a similar type of oppression in the US is BEYOND frightening. I suppose it was part of the reason we left, but mainly we just could no longer afford to live in the part of the US we like...or really anywhere there. |
Thank you for welcoming me! It may be strange, but I am terrified of disclosing where in Europe I live.
(As if it is easy to find me among millions of people. Am really afraid that I will one day come to disclose something that will help somebody outside the forum to identify me).
Putin's moves with regard to Ukraine must be a mad man's work. As a matter of fact, I thought about Hitler when I heard Putin's speech. I saw at a note at Internet that Donald Trump agreed with him. May God protect the western world from Donald Trump! I think that if anyone with great power supports Putin, that will be the start of WW III. For the moment I cannot see any direct dangers for other countries than Ukraine, but the whole of Europe will suffer with high electric and gas prices and more. So may be some of us have to go down in living standard, but that is "OK" as long as we don't have scenes like those from WW II. I have heard so many ugly stories from those who lived at that time.
I think it is best to take one day at the time and hope for the best.
