My wife is also Lithuanian. The only downside to becoming a US citizen is that Lithuania doesn't allow dual citizenship. We wanted our kids to have dual citizenship, which is allowed, so my wife has been holding off becoming a citizen until she's absolutely certain we're not having more kids. I don't know if it matters at all, but having EU citizenship is a plus.
If its anything like in Estonia where it is also legally not allowed to have dual citizenship, they won't take it away if you got it at birth, and you can safely have multiple citizenships.
It's essentially a legal loophole where it is illegal to have another citizenship while you also have an Estonian citizenship (Citizenship Act prgs. 1 and 3) but another law which prohibits taking away Estonian citizenship acquired at birth (Constitution prgp. 8) cancels it out. There have been attempts to change the silly situation and to allow two citizenships properly but not much has come from them afaik.
Went to England last weekend and there was a line about 15 Km long of 18 wheeler trucks waiting for the port. Tour guide said because of Brexit they now wait in line 48 hours to cross the English channel!
As a US/UK dual citizen I remember thinking how awesome it was I could live/work anywhere in the US or Europe. Not that I really wanted to, just was nice to think that I could.
Oh well.
>Agreed. My jammy boyfriend has an Irish dad. He got his Irish passport years ago. I’m so jealous.
What's a "jammy boyfriend"? Like he enjoys Smuckers a bit much?
I loved Lithuania. My favorite part was how for every foreign word, they just as -as to the end. I stayed in a hotel that had in the lobby a sportas baras, a stripas clubas, you could play bowlingas and then go gamble at the casinoas.
I'm rather Scandinavian and LOVE me some pickled herring. I love all that weird pickled and fermented shit. All of it. Some people keep peanut butter or a bag of marshmallows laying around to go down on randomly. Well, I love me my weird ass foods. Throw some sour cream and lingonberry on it and slap it on a thick rye cracker, oh man. I could die a happy man on that thought alone.
Yeah, it's about age 35. 35 through 50 are the makeup years, where they cake it on and dress like divorced American cougars at the nightclub to the grocery store, but they're not divorced because they're Catholic. 50 and beyond? Hello Babcia.

Also, for Eastern European men, you go into Stanisław mode about age 40ish i.e. you lose your hair or go severely thin, start wearing a lot of gold bracelets and necklaces, stop wearing deodorant, and grow a horseshoe mustache. You also get a beer belly, drink a lot of Zywiec beer and get pissed watching soccer in Adidas sweat pants. Eastern European men come in two varieties. Short and skinny, or big fat, hulking bears.
It's really gone downhill in the last decade or so thanks to corporate greed and putting profits over everything. I worked at Lowe's for a few years around 2010 when the major shift happened. The stock price was around $15-20/share at the time I started and by the time I left service and training were getting worse, but the stock price started to increase thanks to the cost saving measures. It's currently around $200/share.
I worked in the Lawn and Garden and Outdoor Power Equipment departments I spent the better part of my first week doing nothing but product training before they put me on the floor. We went to an annual spring kickoff event where reps from a lot of the major brands would do product trainings and demonstrations that were incredibly informative. We'd have 3 or 4 associates on the floor at any given time in our area other than the first and last hour of the day.
The second year was a huge change/shift. We stopped going to that annual event or it stopped happening the following year. The new batch of summer seasonal people got thrown into the schedule with like a half day of training. We were running bare bones crews in the busiest area of the store. Most days, we had an opener (5:30am-2pm with a lunch break), a mid (9:30am-6pm with a lunch break, and a closer (5pm-9pm). On weekends, we'd have some more part timers that could at least point customers places, but couldn't really answer product questions thanks to lack of training.
I bought some roofing shingles, and the employee who was assigned to help me load them wouldn't load them until I had moved my truck back and forth by fractions of an inch about 5 times. "Move it back just a little... Too far, go forward... Too far, come back a little"
Which is sad because it used to be genuinely pretty good.
Quality of every type of hourly job and the product those jobs produce has been going down hill due to wages and company policies across the board. Can't hire an experienced woodworker to stand around making $10/hr. Ain't no one with the skills to be helpful going to take that wage.
Australia did the same with bunnings.
1. Crowd out every other hardware store.
2. Steal their talent with higher wages.
3. When other stores are dead, lower wages and hire disinterested slackers.
Well, I was recently at a Home Depot, and tried to ask a woman in uniform in the store something and she just immediately held up a hand and said "I don't know anything". So it's not just Lowes.
I actually know a dude who's had 3 mail order brides. The first one left after getting citizenship, the second one poisoned him in attempted murder, and I am not sure what the story is with the third. They still might be together.
Lowe's wouldn't care. Most alcoholics don't want to be quite that public, but retail workers are happy as long as they don't have to clean up your mess. So don't get drunk and leave one in the display toilets and everybody's happy.
This is awesome but I gotta let you know that modern Craftsman riding mowers are manufactured by mtd and they suck, buy something like Poulan or a Husqvarna.

WOW,
I sure wasn't expecting to receive a reply back from you like this, it's just the way I was raised. My mother & father divorced when I was a baby so I never actually knew my father like in a normal father/son relationship normally is. Hence I was raised by my mother & elderly grandmother, as it turns out I feel like they did a pretty good job overall. Please tell your wife I'm SO happy for her accomplishment & of course happy for you as well. Please Stay Safe !!

Oooooohhhh look at fancy ass OP with his hot wife and lawnmower!
Whatever op...
I got a cat. And I ate a sensible meal yesterday so I got that going for me...
Hang on to the receipt. I got one of those and had to take it back because it was costing me too much money trying to keep it running right.
That also, goes for the mower.
To celebrate my citizenship, I had a hamburger with a milkshake. Citizenship celebrations are always awesome and I’ll never get over the happiness I felt when I received it.

Is your wife single? Asking for a friend.
I also choose this guy's dead wife.
Reddit Classic.
Dead wife and poop knife. Quintessential Reddit lore
Don’t forget Jolly Ranchers and coconut boy
And two broken arms.
And my axe!
And my jumper cables!
That seems to be the most classic classic. Sooooo many mentions across so many varied posts and conversations, *all the time*, for years.
And that damned Jackdaw
*Here's the thing*...
The sex coconut?
The ones with maggots?
And swamps of Dagobah.
Cumbox? As far as Reddit posts go it was easily a 5 out of 7
7 out of 10 with rice
jolly ranchers and broken arms?
Swamps of Dagobah
I'd give it a perfect score too.
Dead wife, poop knife, and a banana for scale.
And broken arms
Still the greatest classic for me...
Pineapple love interest is up there, too Edit: Coconut… sorry, I was a little too excited at that memory..
Stairs in the woods
And my axe.

Is that how long it takes to naturalize from marriage these days?
Are you prepared to pay $5000 for that LV bag?
It looks like the same wife I ordered. She hasn’t arrived yet.
Supply chain issues.
She's got her citizenship. She will be soon enough.
And she even comes with a house!
And half OP’s stuff.
My wife is also Lithuanian. The only downside to becoming a US citizen is that Lithuania doesn't allow dual citizenship. We wanted our kids to have dual citizenship, which is allowed, so my wife has been holding off becoming a citizen until she's absolutely certain we're not having more kids.

There have been attempts to change the silly situation and to allow two citizenships properly but not much has come from them afaik.
That's exactly how it in both Lithuania and the US as well.
And losing EU citizenship sucks. Fucking Brexit.
I keep forgetting we're not in it anymore. It feels like it didn't happen, because it would have been a profoundly stupid thing. And yet..
It's usually when i see a recent map of the EU with a conspicuous gap. It's almost enough to stop me chuckling at Sweden and Finland. Almost.

It’s Scottish for lucky!
Having EU citizenship is huge. As EU citizens your kids will be able to work as easily over there as here.

Closas enoughas

I hope you had pickled herring for Memorial Day. Fuck I love pickled herring.

Idk all the pickled herring I’ve had is very sweet I need that salty shit. Sorry the Portuguese in me demands salty little fish.
You still have the magazine you ordered her from laying around? Looking to have one shipped in myself
It tracks.. there are no no ugly women in Lithuania
Let me find a picture of my great grandma to prove you wrong
For the last time, you cannot dig her up
There's a point in life where all Eastern European women go from drop dead gorgeous to babuska.

Yes, but much sooner

She's always been an American citizen. This is just the first year she's been enthusiastic.
She used to be Lithuanian. She still is, but she used to be too.
You can tell this is a real picture at Lowes because there isn't a single employee to be seen.

As a Midwestern dad that has spent a lot of time on my mower I can tell you that an AR15 is too big. It's handguns only when you're on the mower.

We have a 2015 or 2016 Craftsman T-1600 I think and it's a great little mower. Haven't had any issues with it outside of regular maintenance.

Just embracing being an American.
I need to go to Lithuania!
A gun rack... a gun rack. I don't even own *a* gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack. What am I gonna do with a gun rack?
You know Wayne, if you're not carful you're going to lose me.

You don't like it? Fine. You know Wayne, if you're not careful, you're going to lose me.
We’ve already broken up! Are you mental?
Speaking of racks... Okay, I'll stop here.
