I go over to Lakenheath/Mildenhall about every other month or so. :) We're at Alconbury and they don't have anything there. It's absolutely pathetic. I don't mind much though. The local foods are much healthier, fresher, and often cheaper anyhow.

I'm an American in Cambridgshire! But I can't take you on base or supply you with stuff from there - sorry. That could cost me my base access. Where are you? I'm near Huntingdon. :) Honestly though, I very rarely shop on base anyhow. Last year I made a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with stuff I got at Tesco and Sainsbury.…

hi! I'm here. I'm in my 40s and live outside Cambridge. ;) OK, a bit outside the outside of Cambridge. I'm in Huntingdon. We're actually Americans (please don't hold that against me! :) ) but we're here with my husband's job for hopefully the next 4 years. We absolutely LOVE it here. I'm desperately in need of losing…

Did you really think anyone would say that because you bought oil for it it should be yours?? Seriously??

It's his. you keep the table. How would you feel if your grandmother gave you both her *insert something sentimental to you* that he uses more (grandpa's watch, dining table, antique clock) and he tried to say that since he uses it more he gets to keep it? My guess is that you would say that since it was your family that…

Then why doesn't every 5'6" 130 lb woman wear the same size shoes? Yes, most of the "big bones" comments are excuses but different people do indeed have different size bone structures.

FTW!!!!

Not home: Before you leave turn your couch and chairs on their side Put a "Beware of Ghost" sign on your door. Tape off 1 cabinet with a sign that says "DO NOT OPEN!! PORTAL TO HELL!!!" Draw a chalk outline of a body in your living room Put pillows under your bed sheets and run a snoring soundtrack Tape pictures of eyes…

^^^^ That. Exactly. My husband was a military reservist for 22 years and spent nearly 4 years of the past decade in the Middle East. I'm not afraid of guns. I'm afraid of ammosexuals.

These idiots are the poster children for why there needs to be better background checks and more regulation. If you are stupid enough to carry a rifle into a bank and think no one should have a problem with it then you are too stupid to own a gun in the first place. I know you didn't say bank but these sorts of idiots…

Cue the insipid "Well then don't have sex if you don't want to get pregnant" comments. As if married women don't have sex. Abstinence is the only method that is 100% effective. It's also unrealistic.

Not "babies" the youngest ever to survive was 21 weeks and 6 days. For me, an abortion needs to be done ASAP. Unfortunately GOP rules are only pushing women to have later and later abortions. The "waiting period", shutting down clinics because a hallway isn't wide enough, etc. A poor woman may end up spending a lot of…

No **** right? As for the previous argument - I did pay attention. I attended Sunday school every week until I was 16. I wasn't scoping out boys when I was 7 FFS. My grandparents were devout Catholics until they died at 85 and 93 yrs of age. I don't need some stranger on the internet to try to convince me that she's right…

I'm an atheist. I found too much hypocrisy with religion when I wasn't even yet a teenager to be bothered with it. Mom made us go anyhow. I used the time to scope out guys I liked and daydream. But my mom was religious (Dad wasn't. He didn't have to go to church. I was jealous. LOL) and my grandparents were very religious…

Except he said it to Jeremiah, not Adam and Eve. I was born and raised Catholic and never once did I ever hear that Adam and Eve weren't specific people.

Because there your god was speaking to one very specific person.

It's kiddie porn. Imagine that your least favourite politician was in possession of kiddie porn. You'd probably call him a pedophile and demand he be locked away for life. I don't care if the girl is 16. She's still a child and he's a pedophile.

We lived in Germany for 1 1/2 years. Restaurant prices were higher in cities but I didn't find them outrageous. Some things are much cheaper like cheeses. You can get a bratwurst on a brochen (bread roll) for a Euro (About $1.50 USD) so while dinner might be pricier you can have a wonderful local lunch very cheaply. Heck,…

I'd reply saying something like "I apologize if I misunderstood your intentions but I am (married, dating someone, gay, celibate, whatever takes you out of his potential dating pool) and am interested in a professional relationship only. That said, while I am a talented pastry chef I am not a professional photographer or…

Of course they can! You just have to be mature enough to handle it. One of my dearest friends is a guy. He's my husband's best friend. The thought of sleeping with him is a bit like sleeping with my brother (if I had on). There's absolutely no sexual tension between us. I'm like his sister, he's like my brother.

We're American but I've also lived in Germany and England (there now actually). Been to Canada, Poland, Czech, Austria, France, Netherlands, and Belgium as well. Want to go everywhere else that is safe and civilized. We're looking at doing a cruise this summer and trying to decide between Iceland, Norway, Estonia or Spain,…

We lived there for 1 1/2 years and would go back in a heartbeat. It is extremely clean. There are walking/bike paths everywhere. Everything is closed on Sunday. Germans are extremely honest and friendly. We went to Nuremburg at Christmas and despite riding the subway for 8 different trips our ticket was never checked and…

Seattle. In a heartbeat. No contest.

^^^ This. It's pretty obvious that she spent too many years trying to be their friend and too few trying to be their parent. Trying to start parenting in the teen years is like herding cats. It can be done but it's going to be messy and exhausting and create a lot of problems for quite a while. Take away something. If they…

We moved to Huntingdon in July. LOVE it here! Hubby works for the US government and we're here for 3-5 years. We spent 1 1/2 years in Germany and managed to travel a bit while we were there but didn't get to the UK.

If it's someone I wouldn't recognize immediately I appreciate a message explaining how they know me. Otherwise I don't friend them. I have a few people who have a mutual friend in common but who I don't recognize. It makes me think they are just friend collectors or something and I have no interest in being part of that.…

Then you are choosing the entirely wrong men. Nice guys may not always be the "beautiful people" (Yes some are) but they are the ones worthy of your time. I used to be young and beautiful and fit. I never bought a drink or paid to get into a club or party when I was younger. I was hit on by plenty of guys like you…

Of course they can! Alcoholics can give up booze. Fat people can get skinny. Cheaters can become monogamous. It just takes wanting to change and some motivation to do so.

I'm not European. I'm American. I just live in the UK now. I am well aware of how many hours Americans work. I never suggested that stores close up at 5. I merely pointed out that Americans tend to be very self centered and expect stores to be open 24/7 on the off chance that they want something. Americans are the most me,…

My nephew was fired because he didn't work today. he told his boss he wouldn't be able to work on Thanksgiving weekend 3 months ago. His parents bought airline tickets and they all flew to CA from MI for the holiday. Last week his boss scheduled him to work today anyhow. He told him "I can't. I already told you about this…
