The DU Lounge

At the time that I was looking I had one particular feline companion that had FVR. It's an incurable but treatable respiratory disease. He was prone to congestion and fevers. My extremely cuddle-some and sweet cat eventually succumbed to leukemia.



Every once in awhile I'll check out property in Italy and it seems like it's the same as before. There's well-kept villa's and farmhouses that are listed for top dollar. Then there's other villas and farmhouses that are basic that seem reasonable in price. I'm not sure if they have house inspections like they do here but the homes are made from stone.


I recently ran into a post that was seducing expats into Tuscany. It was a "we'll give you $x amount to move here to Tuscany" type of post. Tuscany seems to be a desirable place for most expats but when I was looking it seemed crazy expensive.


I've only heard nice things about Norway. I imagine it's beautiful there without a bunch of pressure to hurry up and wait type of lifestyle.

I once used Babble for the German language. Babble makes it easy to learn. I say check out Babble and take another trip to Norway someday. Perhaps you and your wife could make plans to retire to Norway. Just a thought.
