Will you be considered a foreigner invading the country or an American coming home?
Sakiri
Mar 9 2019, 08:57 PM
Haha.
American coming home. Though I'll probably get asked what I do for a living, like being able to travel is only something super rich people do. I don't pay for food and lodging so there's that.
But yeah. TSA likes to look in my passport and ask what I do, where I live, what my husband does. When I say I'm a housewife I get that look and I've been asked how I can afford to travel.
It's annoying.

Well, at least you seem to be speaking English quite well so no problems there

I should just not answer them. Or pretend I don't understand English.
Nah, I like painless connections.

Tell them your name is Inga and that you come from Sveden
Sakiri
Mar 9 2019, 09:40 PM
But my passport says otherwise!
Luckily for me though my given name is super American. -_-
I debated legally changing it, but it would only be confusing back home. I would have gone by my middle name, which I *have* seen used here and know a couple older ladies with it. Same spelling too.
Have yet to meet someone with my first name though. At least I have a Swedish surname! Not a common one but very obviously Swedish!
mirocu
Mar 9 2019, 09:45 PM
I also have a Swedish surname! Fancy that

Also; hi, Decrepit!

No, you guys got rid of the öre coins ages ago.

Still; we never used nickles

I miss tio- and femtioöringen

I had a few coins sitting around for giggles, but nothing special. Think they were 2?
mirocu
Mar 10 2019, 03:03 PM
Are you asking me if you had two old coins?

Or do you mean if there was a 2-öring? There was. Also an 1-öring and a 25-öring.
Sakiri
Mar 10 2019, 03:34 PM
I had a few 2 öre coins, yes. I actually gave one of them to a bank worker in the States that was intrigued by them. I think we have more of them than that in our change pile.
The change pile that's collecting after we dumped 1200 kronor worth of coins in the bank before they were taken out of circulation.

Mar 10 2019, 03:41 PM
I could give you some 10- and 25-öringar if you want. I only have a few million of them

If you go to fleemarkets you can usually buy some there.

I'd like a pony but I don't think I could afford to keep one.
Horses... that thing that the poor used to keep when they couldn't afford a car. Now the thing the rich keep for entertainment.

*gives nickel to self*
I reckon you meant moped. Have you looked at one yet?
Sakiri
Mar 11 2019, 06:07 PM
No, I have a few things I want to look into and have to get my money over here first. Probably start looking closer to summer.
I want to give myself a couple months too, just in case this idea turns out to be a bad one and I decide against it, don't want to impulse buy, then regret it.
And I don't know where the nearest place to go is. But I've been looking at them online, might see if I can find some reviews and stuff.
I'd love to get a class 1, but I did find an old eyeglass prescription(my current one, actually) and my eyesight is *just* under what's required. You need visual acuity of 0.5, or 20/40 for the Americans. Mine is 20/50. Unless an optician here can improve it better than it currently is(which might be a possibility, I don't know), I won't pass an eye exam.
Which just means I look into class 2. And every last freaking one on blocket had the speed limiter removed. I kinda don't want to get in trouble with an unlocked moped so I probably won't buy one used.

Mar 11 2019, 06:11 PM
I had an unlocked one, a Honda MT5. Racebike is what it was!

But I needed it after that awful Suzuki K50. Honestly, it was faster to walk than to ride that thing!

Lol. I believe it.
I'm not too terribly worried about speed. I just don't want to walk places lol. I'm lazy.
Grocery store I go to beginning of the week is 7 km away. Other one is 10 km. The one downtown may end up just being a post pickup in a few years.... there's so few people around here I don't expect it to stay a grocery store forever.
mirocu
Mar 11 2019, 07:04 PM
Well, with a good backpack you can certainly go grocery shopping on a moped!

At least in summer
Sakiri
Mar 11 2019, 07:31 PM
Yeah. Might be able to get to town in winter, depending on roads, but the road my house is on is a giant shytefest during spring when everything starts to melt. Like, right now it's a sheet of ice with running water on it.
It's not bad when it's covered in snow.

Clicked my long established Bookmark for the official Beth Forums while ago. It now takes me to an overly cluttered page where I can't find what I need. Trying to navigate to a useful forums page always returns me to the clutter. Anyone else experience this?

I haven't experienced what you describe, Decrepit. If I'm on a machine that is not mine and I put in www.chorrol.com it takes me to Chorrol's home page
http://www.chorrol.com/ instead of the forums. From there, clicking on the blue 'Forums' link halfway down the left side brings me to the forum. That doesn't exactly sound like what you're seeing though but thought I'd relay it just in case.
Specifically, my long established bookmark to the chorrol forums is working fine.
Odd.
