@sabergirl:

I’m comfortable with the blanket generalization that American employers/government/authority treats pretty much everyone like replaceable garbage. There’s very little empathy or compassion in the mindset here. This also trickles down into a lot of interpersonal relationships here in a way that’s super unhealthy. Not a fan.

Cool shirt, Mike!

? Is this relating to something I did or said?

Omg, not at ALL @Filthy! I was referring to a convo that was going on in this thread briefly, before, comparing the US to Norway.  Are you kidding, you're so kind!  I'm sorry that was confusing.

It has it's moments @Matty123 I talk to my brother who now lives in Brooklyn and sometimes struggles for work, and often wonder how I'd get on there. The US system certainly keeps you sharp and driven, whereas I suspect Norway was blunted my competitive edge…

Nah…Norway sounds awesome.  The US system of working is overrated and keeps you on the path to cardiac arrest and other stress related illnesses.

I'm heading to the big island of Hawaii in a little under a month to visit a friend and I know there are at least a few people who know what's what.

Anyone have any suggestions of must see/do/eat things while I'm there?

Question for UK people. The Royal wedding has been covered here in the states constantly. I can only assume coverage over there must be bordering on ridiculous. My question is are the British people excited for this? Is it as important  as the American media is saying? Is there a lot of national pride involved? Just curious for my own learning.  Thanks

Not one bit

Actually, I think the pubs are open later this weekend. So slightly

There's a wedding this week end?

Down boy!!

I'm glad the wife likes looking at her too, lol!

Maddy: "She's soooo pretty, right?"
Me: "I guess so, I mean if that's what you're in to…  ::) "

Being an American, Meghan is undoubtedly the reason for the incessant coverage in the States. The fascination with celebrity is quite sickening, IMO. If they owned any, they'd be pulling on their IH jeans one leg at a time, like the rest of us.

My apologies… The second half of this post probably belongs in the rants thread.

Which royal queen's getting married this time?..

…any excuse for a BBQ and a drink !

As an American I had no clue about any of this…couldn't even name whoever is getting married and don't care who they are.

My Norwegian royalist wife cannot believe that each and every friend or family member of mine from the UK she has been introduced to has zero f@cks to give when it comes to The Windsors. She gets mortally offended when I can’t remember who’s who.

Didn't you hang out with one of the Norwegian royals once?  That makes you like a duke or something, right?
