Be honest Reddit, what do you *really* think about America?

Mr. Furious: Okay, am I the only one who finds these sayings just a little bit formulaic? "If you want to push something down, you have to pull it up. If you want to go left, you have to go right." It's...

The Sphinx: Your temper is very quick, my friend. But until you learn to master your rage...

Mr. Furious: ...your rage will become your master? That's what you were going to say. Right? Right?

The Sphinx: Not necessarily.

Same here in Norway. I like the 1 o'clock games. Now I can watch and get a good night sleep.

drpants

Not sure about that one.

I would be there if I could. Too far from Buffalo right now. Feel free to have a live webcam helmet. I will join you with that.

BTW Buffalonian is the proper nomenclature.

My Dad bought a house (two unit, decent size) on the Northeast side of Buffalo, near the University of Buffalo, around '91 for $71,000. 10 years later, the house next door (a better house) was going for $15,000. I really don't know why. I am not sure of the prices now, (my guess is they are lower) but Buffalo is one of the most frugal, secret paradises (yes, paradise) in the US. You are 1.2 hours from toronto, 1.5 hours, by plane to NYC and Chicago,great art scene and great schools. So many great, cheap properties on Lake Erie too. Around the city (which by area is very small), you will find a huge economy. Plus, and I really mean this, Buffalo has an attitude of friendlinessthat I have never found in my life all over the world. We actually say hi to people on the street.

TL;DR I didn't answer your question but I tried to tell you what I love about Buffalo.

This is agreed. OTOH, in Buffalo, there are houses is semi-decent neighborhoods for sale for $15,000. Some are two units. Buffalo is a great city to save money.

Affordable for families with children...

I agree Paul Junk. You sound like a friend from Buffalo who used to frequent the Essex Street Pub.

Good on ya!

I used to play tennis with some very good players. It's just like every other shot, you just need to practice it. Sure, it isn't easy. But, if you play 8 hours a day, you do learn a few tricks.

BTW: Federer is one of the greats IMHO.

Thank you so much. Every time I clicked on the print link it did nothing.

drpants

Too bad. I miss Buffalo. I have been gone for some time now (Europe) and plan on going back. I love that place.

I have read lots of fiction. I have, in fact, an English Degree. I just feel like my time is better spent reading non-fiction works. Fiction feels like I am wasting my time.

drpants

Fiction books.

Welcome to the future!

Thank you Professor Frink.

Maybe Roxio Toast? I haven't used it in awhile but I think it does quite a bit.

Avoid bars
Find sports groups that do what you want to try/like
Run
Go out and sit among people (coffee shop for example)
Therapists take time. Find one you like. It may take a few tries.
Dogs are good if you are that type of person and have time for them. I have met so many people in the dog parks.
Have experiences (short trips, explore, art galleries, etc ). You only live once.
Keep a diary. Write in it everyday.
Family is good if they are supportive.
Volunteer to help the less fortunate. It feels good to help others.
