Posted by arren18 on 09.10.2021, 05:07 AM: I agree with you about the difficulty of finding stability nowadays, saviour. I've been lucky enough to do things like going to university and experiencing life in different countries, but I don't think I've ever been all that comfortable financially. And another point about "reducing expectations" - that can be fine for a while, but without better stability, you can be a bit of bad luck away from huge problems at any time, even if your expectations are lower. That's the kind of thing that always worries me.

Posted by foreignfilmfreak on 09.10.2021, 06:41 AM: Yeah, like my job is temporary but the pay and other benefits have provided a sense of stability I've never really had before. Sometimes I'm scared of moving back to Canada in the future because I don't think I could make nearly as much money as I do here and with the housing market plus my student loan payments...

Posted by husky51 on 09.10.2021, 01:47 PM: It is hard for me to come to grips with this subject... All I can say is that I have been extremely lucky in staying healthy enough through the years so that I could work steadily, even if in different fields.

Posted by saviour2012 on 09.11.2021, 04:51 AM: Yeah its quite complex situation. Hopefully it will move to the positive.

Posted by foreignfilmfreak on 09.19.2021, 02:41 AM: So one thing I'm hoping to do before the end of this year is start the process of getting an ADHD diagnosis. I'm pretty nervous, but living undiagnosed has not been fun at all. And if it's not ADHD that I have it has to be something else and I would like to know, although after doing a lot of research I'm definitely a textbook example of an adult with undiagnosed ADHD. I have someone who offered to take me to appointments and translate and who is familiar with the process.

Posted by husky51 on 09.19.2021, 11:47 AM: So Good luck with what is happening, but I would say that even if you are dianosed with ADHD, You've apparently done so well with your life up to this point... I mean, think about it... You've learned a much different language, applied yourself through your studies, obtained a position in a foreign country... Doing what you apparently love to do... You've come a long way from when I first met you in the Tavern...

Posted by arren18 on 08.30.2022, 04:21 AM: Hey, sorry I've been REALLY quiet lately! I was pretty busy for a while there with a few things all right after another, and then I was away on a trip for the past week and a bit. I just got back last night! Anyway, how has everyone been doing lately?

Posted by tonaricrilly1995 on 08.30.2022, 12:31 PM: I've been good, came back from Bangladesh! Nice country but being a third world country the urban areas aren't the best, and the electricity gone out. But the rural areas are very lovely, I have a few photos I could show.

Posted by arren18 on 01.30.2023, 05:02 AM: I'm afraid not! I wasn't sure and thought it probably hadn't been translated, and from what I can find at the moment, it doesn't look like it ever was. I spotted a fan translation, but even that only appears to cover the first two chapters.

Posted by husky51 on 01.30.2023, 05:21 AM: Too bad, but thanks for the look-see... From the piece in the back of the Ghibli book, I would have loved to read it, but I only know a few words of Japanese and the only Japanese word that I recognize is Totoro... And that is tattooed on my arm beneath his eyes and smile... lol
