I had a chance to live in Hamburg, Germany. But, I could not leave my mother by herself that long. At the time I wasn't sure if I'd made the right decision because the opportunity was a serious game changer for me. But, my mom passed two years later, so at least in my mind, I made the right choice. Had I stayed, I would've lost those last two years with her.

But, the moral of the story is Germany and France are better for a black man to live. Better than here. But, don't expect utopia. And, the more of us there are over there, the more their racism comes to light. However, as I stated earlier, that was 30 plus years ago. So your mileage may vary. It could be best thing since Wakanda for you or it could be a total, euro redkneckin', racist paradise. I have no idea after all these years.

I enjoyed my time out there

I just came back from Germany a few days ago. It's my second time being there and I fucking love that place. The language barrier can be a problem but I'd be more than willing to put up with it and learn as much as I could just to get by.

Why did you love it?

I guess in part because it was different than what I'm used to over here. Everything is cleaner, much more efficient and orderly, and everyone I met was really nice. If you don't speak German it isn't really that big of a deal since so many people speak English pretty perfectly (especially in the larger cities).

Plus the countryside is really beautiful, and I like the idea of a foreign country being only a few hours away. Been to France and Italy from Germany, and I've also been through Austria. And the women...good goddamn, German women.
 
So no one got on the Autobahn? There is no way I could go to Europe and resist that. I'd be on that as quick as you guys would Kim K's lumpy booty.

I thought about it but decided not to. A friend of mine offered to let me drive her car once but I didn't have enough confidence in my abilities to even attempt it.
 
Damn. While the cops where looking for the suspects of a shooting in Myrtle beach a fight broke out that led to another shooting where the guy that was getting jumped got up and started firing at everyone in the crowd, a cop got shot among several others and the dude that was shooting car jacked someone for the getaway. All this shit was recorded on Facebook live. Got Damn!

Lesson: if you go to Myrtle beach go during the off season.

Today has proven to be a tough day for me to get through and I think the hardest part is still left to deal with being a parent of a grown child is so hard sometimes especially when you cannot help them.

Heartbroken and sad

It's not my oldest. My oldest son isn't doing superbly in the military and has advanced already to e4 and up for board for e5 this month.

It's my youngest son (19) who just finished a great freshman year. He's home w his friends during summer break and found trouble landing himself in a sticky situation. Nothing myself or anyone else can do but stand by. The kid lives in his o n world and it scares the hell out of me.

Totally heartbroken

I'm sorry to hear that Cherokee, and I'm sorry you're going through it. I think that kind of helplessness in a situation is one of the toughest things about being a parent. My prayers & thoughts are with you and your son. My brother, a friend of mine, and my mom in regards to my youngest brother are dealing with the same kind of thing right now, and my heart hurts for all of you. *hugs*

Cherok33.....sorry you are going through this. It can be difficult for sure.

It seems like there is something in the air. I've been dealing with things with one of mine for the past few weeks. It's due to a reaction to medication...amazing how much devastation something can cause so quickly. My youngest ended up in the hospital a few days ago (on her birthday).

Tam - I feel for you. You want to be compassionate and helpful but no one wants to be dealing with the fallout of neighbor's issues.

I've been hearing all sorts of odd stories. Weird things going on right now.

K said:
Thanks so much! Actually my son was in the hospital too. I guess I didn't say that part. So 2 kids in the hospital in 2 weeks. NOT good!
My daughter is MUCH better, just have to really watch her now. My son is much better than he was at the worst of it, but it's going to take some time.

I keep telling the other 2 NO more hospital visits.

Wow, K...I hope your kids are continuing to improve. Sometimes medications wreak all kinds of havoc, and it's scary as hell when it happens. I pray they make a full recovery.

Yeah, a lot of weird things going on...maybe that full moon Bliss mentioned has something to do with so much happening lately.

Thanks, ladies. I have compassion and like to help out when I can, but I definitely don't want to be dealing with any of the fallout. I miss my original neighbors; the guy that bought both houses (the old neighbors sold then after their kids were grown and gone) tends to rent to the Jerry Springer types for some reason.
 
TMZ just showed Rick Ross lost a bunch of weight - he looks much better. (LOL I'm sooo not a celeb person...I barely know who he is)
