Hi Girls,

wollte mich auch mal kurz melden. Gibt nicht viel neues bei uns. Hatten ein relaxtes WE und Hubby und ich haben Schnitzel gemacht. Ich glaube insgesamt hatten wir bestimmt 12 und ich habe ganze 3 gegessen. Was Hubby nicht alles macht wenn ich schlafe, er hat bestimmt von den Schnitzeln im Kuehlschrank getraeumt und sich dann auf den Weg gemacht. :blush:

@Manu: Tolles Haus, wuensche euch viel Glueck.

@Chnst: Das Angebot klingt ja ganz toll aber ich haette da immer die Bedenken zwecks des Atomkraftwerkes. Wenn ihr das Haus kauft dann wollt ihr ja sicherlich etliche Jahre dortbleiben und du hast dann 2, 3, 4 :rofl: kleine Kiddies das wuerde mir nicht so gefallen. Lass und wissen wie du dich entscheidest.

@Muttis: Echt tolle Bilder von all euren Kiddies. :yes:

Hat einer von euch schon bei Anne auf Facebook gelesen? Ich hatte noch nicht die Zeit, bin aber mal gespannt was da abgeht.

Lasst es euch gut gehen.

LG Ilka

Hello German corner...so sorry to butt into your own private community but I am sure someone might be able to help me out here...maybe I should have made a separate topic, but I wanted to give a try to this thread first since it has such big posting activity on a regular basis. Well to cut it short...is there anything similar to Extended Stay type hotels in Germany, in particular Frankfurt? You know...those type of hotels who actually look like mini-houses, with a kitchen and washer too for when you have to stay longer than a few days. I have a 3 year old and will have to be in Frankfurt for almost 2 months for a business trip...regular hotels and eating out would not work at all with him for such a long time. Of course a vacation rental such as an apartment/home whatever would be great too, I just have a hard time finding something through google...I am afraid most things would be in German which I sadly do not speak anymore (I used to at some point in time but I forgot pretty much all of it now), so even tips about what to google in German would be great.

I want to thank you in advance for any help you might or might not be able to give. I would really appreaciate it:)

Have a great day everyone!

@Manu wow super haus. Mensch wenn ich mir so eure Haueser ankucke und die Preise dazu koennt ich doch echt nach Texas ziehen!. Fuer so nen Preis kriegste hier grad mal ne Bruchbude!

@Steffi das Haus hoert sich echt gut an! Wir heizen auch mit Oel. Ist schon ganz schoen teuer. Letztes Jahr haben wir von September bis April jeden Monat 319$ flat fee bezahlt! Hatten dann aber ca. 600$ ueber fuers naechste Jahr. Dieses Jahr haben wir im Voraus alles bezahlt und das war so an die 1500$ glaub ich! An der noerdlichen Ostkueste wird leider fast nur mit Oel geheizt.....besonders ausserhalb der grossen staedte. Und wie schoen wer gesagt hat, musst du echt kucken, dass euer heating system auch wirklich effective ist und nicht erneuert werden muss.

@Ilka klingt ja nach dem tollen Wochenende. Hab keine ahnung was bei Anne abgegangen ist :(

@alle wir schmeissen am 25. Juli ein grosses BBQ.....was macht man denn so alles schoenes zu nem BBQ? Wer in der Naehe und mag vorbeikommen??? :) :) :)

@churipu I haven't been to Frankfurt but since this is my last week of not working I googled around a bit for you, maybe one of the following links will help you! They should all be in English, unless I copied something wrong :)

@Susanne ja Texas hat nicht nur Nachteile :devil: Fuers BBQ, hmm, hier gibts immer Guacamole (selbstgemacht) und Chips, ich mach immer gerne Brownies zum Dessert, und viele Leute spielen: http://www.horseballsgame.com/ das ist witzig und man kommt nicht ins Schwitzen, kriegst du in jedem Heimwerkerladen/Walmart. Gemueseplatte mit Dip kommt auch immer gut an, und fuer auf den Grill, das kommt halt auf den Geschmack drauf an, aber hier haben halt viele Leute Steak, oder wenn sie nen Smoker haben gibts Brisket und Ribs. Ich persoenlich mag auch Huehnchen in einer netten Sosse fuer ein paar Stunden mariniert, und dann auf den Grill damit! Gegrillte Ananas mag ich auch total und natuerlich Corn on the Cob... du siehst, wenn du etwas naeher waerst waer ich sofort beim BBQ dabei :blush:

danke fuer Euren Input Maedels! Thea, das mit den Solarzellen ist ne gute Idee, darueber haben wir schon nachgedacht. Dass das bei Euch aus aesthetischen Gruenden nicht zugelassen ist- oh mal wieder typisch. :wacko:

Naja, wie gesagt so hundertprozentig bin ich nicht ueberzeugt von dem Haus und dem Gedanken was das alles fuer Stress mit sich bringt. Ich finde 3 bedroom/2bath ca 2000 sqf reichen, +grosse Garage. Unser Krempel bezieht sich mehr auf Dinge fuer die man eine Scheune bauen muesste (Chuck hat ein paar Trucks und Motorraeder wofuer wir zZt storage zahlen), aber die community hier erlaubt nur kleine Garagen/Sheds, also auch wieder ein "minus".

@churipu: check out wg-gesucht.de, you can search for a place to share with roommates or 1/2 -bedrooms'. It's a website that offers rooms or apartments. A lot of students/people who go away on business for a few weeks at a time rent our their pads for a small fee compared to hotel prices.

wg-gesucht Frankfurt here is what I came up with for Frankfurt. Good luck with your search. Your little boy is so adorable, and so big! I love his hair!

@Susanne: ich bin dabei! :) Wir kommen am 23. aus Canada zurueck. Wo in NH wohnst Du nochmal? Ich muss das mal googeln wie weit es von uns entfernt ist. Ich bring auch was zu essen mit.

@Susanne: das ist haargenau die selbe Strecke, als wie von uns bis nach upstate zu meiner Uni - 3.5 hrs, 160 miles. Hubby muss leider arbeiten. Ich hab's im Kalender gemarkt, schaun mer mal ob Ben nach unserem Roadtrip jemals wieder freiwillig in seinen Kindersitz steigt. Lust haette ich schonmal wieder nach MA zu fahren (weiss gar nicht warum ich immer dachte Du wohnst in NH). Meine erste Au Pair Fam war gar nicht weit von Euch (in Sharon, MA, bei Newton/Natick)

Oh ja wenn ich Eure Haeuser in Texas ansehe koennt ich auch die Sachen packen und in den Sueden ziehen. Echt wie ein anderes Land bei Euch. Das mit den Oelheizungen ist mir auch aufgefallen dass die hier noerdlich sehr verbreitet sind. Naja, vor 30 Jahren hatten die Leute wohl nicht mit so einem drastischen Preis-Anstieg gerechnet.

Also von mir aus koennte es in TX etwas weniger schwuel sein. Wir hatten heute nen heat index von 104F...das ist so widerlich und es ist so feucht. Allie schwitzt was, das hab ich noch nie gesehen. Ihre Klamotten sind regelrecht durchgeschwitzt und sie ist immer ganz clammy wenn sie im Haus rumkraucht. Wasser wird gar nicht mehr kalt, das ist immer lauwarm und so sehr ich mir immer den Sommer wuensche, hoffe ich, dass er bald vorbei ist. Ansonsten ist es hier aber ok :lol: .

Hab ich euch eigentlich von meinem Trip zum Ohrenarzt letzten Mittwoch erzaehlt? Die haben nen Hoertest bei Allie gemacht und sie hoerte erst ab 40dezibel, sollte aber eigentlich schon ab 20dezibel hoeren udn ein Trommelfell hat nicht so vibriert, wie es vibrieren soll. Der Arzt meinte aber, dass das Trommelfell wieder back to normal geht, sobald die MOE (die sie zu dem Zeitpunkt hatte, war ja unbehandelt weil ich keine Antibiotika mehr wollte) abgeklungen ist und auch das Hoeren sollte besser werden, wenn sie denn Tubes reinbekommt. Also hab ich sie direkt auf die Liste setzen lassen und am 27. Juli (uebernaechsten Montag) um halb sieben frueh morgens bekommt sie ihre Tubes eingesetzt. Mir tut es zwar immer weh ein Kind aus meiner Hand zu geben aber nachdem es Adam nach den Tubes so viel besser ging, warten wir bei Allie gar nicht erst noch laenger. Sechs MOEs sind genug.
