MikeO Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Fridge/freezer has stopped being either fridge or freezer; no power issues and it's still chilling a bit but just stopped getting down to a decent temperature overnight, only had the bloody thing for eighteen months or so.

As to guarantee I can't find the paperwork anywhere and don't even remember where I bought it. rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't give a shit about Gulen as my politician father known for how he was fighting off against Gulen's religious movement and Erdogan's political movement in his whole career but that friend of mine is residing in Philly for 15 years now and a citizen for 5 years. As we'll be co-founders, I think it is better to move to Philly to be close. Maybe I can think about New Jersey too, time will show We are checking the requirements for investor visa but I'll not apply it soon because it'll be a small start-up company to see what we can do and how our expertise can be valuable for our own company. There are some things here in Turkey I need to be sure/done before I move and actually to get an investor visa, last time I checked, the amount was around 250.000$ investment to the company in a 5-year period. My friend over there will be checking it with an immigration lawyer. For now, I'll operate my part from Turkey and he'll be operating his own part from the USA and also he is working for Merck. So I'll do the most parts and he'll be dealing with logistics and management part and also will be working at his regular job. Basically, additional income for him and his family, main income for myself. If we can turn it into a profitable company, we will grow the business slowly and then invest 250.000 or more to make a move. P.S.: I am not considering to move any near where Gulen resides, we are not even close religiously or politically with his movement. I don't like them at all. Maybe to Scranton to dedicate in loving memory of Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute If you need any US logistics help - as in transportation, let me know I can help or at least point you in a direction! Speaking of, they drive on the right in Philly. Canals too, so heads up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naaahhh, that would never work! politics in general has become sadly very comical. take a time machine back ten years and play the political ads airing today and you'd be laughing your ass off thinking it was a SNL skit. Not to mention, are people that simple minded and stupid that they vote on 1 issue alone? Because if they do we don't have much hope (regardless of what the issue is).

Ghoat Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I think WAY too many do Mark, and the pols know it and play to it. I do think we should have the bear arms and I don't want the gov to be TOO heavy handed about it. That said I don't own a gun and have never been in the NRA. I believe in "traditional family values", but I think a pair of men or a pair of women should absolutely have the same rights to their family values under the law. I have also been reminded this go around that if I vote repub, I am a racists who hates immigrants. If I vote demo I am a socialist who hates God. Makes it tough on a football/soccer lovin', NASCAR watchin', drinkin'with gay/lesbian friends on Wed nights, Catholic schoolin' daughters guy in Alabama to figure out who to vote for me. I'm what's wrong with this country according to both parties. I'm unique - just like everyone else! Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 The aroma of cauliflower cooking. worst smell in the world (wife is cooking some now and it pervades the whole house); why anyone would want to cook it is beyond me as well, raw in a salad it's bloody lovely!
