Depressing Life in Germany - 5 hours ago by a3487640uu - Reply

Thanks so much. I am definitely going to use those resources. I have applied for jobs in my field of expertise but no success. Wondering if I am overqualified or not getting hired because I am not German. I will focus on joining a group for now and improving myself and try again later. Thanks for the positive replies.

I forgot something...

In the back of the Kaiserslautern Kabel, they have the, "LET'S GET TOGETHER" section. It's a lists of clubs, organizations and support groups. Here are a few that might interest you:

(*NOTE* I am going to list the numbers since it is in a publication)

And there are many more pertaining to specific religions, race, hobbies and etc.

Also, if you're looking to volunteer in the community, which is a great way to meet people, you can also contact ACS. You can ask for Kristin James, the volunteer coordinator and she can help you!

I am so sorry you are going through this. You can always contact ACS (click here). They help not only soldiers but family members and civilians. They can also point you in the right direction in regards to support groups and such. If you need to just vent I will PM you my e-mail.

In the meantime, you can take advantage of some of the day trips offered with the USO, RTT, Bahn. There are a lot of great local places such as Strasbourg, Speyer, Heidelberg, Frankfurt, Luxembourg (less than 90 minute drive). Also, do you work? Perhaps you and your co-workers can carpool to a fest or something....

binocular recommendations? - 6 hours ago by Kristen - Reply

I know, that is a strange one..........but personal recommendations?

What about ones for kids so more lightweight?

You may want to call someone on base too and see if there is a group they know of

I'm not sure which is worse, the video or the comments under the video on Youtube.

Depressing Life in Germany - 11 hours ago by a3487640uu - Reply

Been here for over a year now. Depressed and totally unhappy and trying to make the best of things while I'm here. Gave up my business in the states, friends, family, etc. Found out my husband tried to have an affairs short of one week after pcsing here for at least six months that I know of and all else went downhill. If it were not for the kids finally being happy with school and their friends, I would have left a long time ago.

So with that being said, I'm looking for people with similar experiences or unhappiness and maybe start a support group, outings, friendships., or whatever. Gotta get out of depressed and unmotivated state of mind with or without him.

Tail light not working? - 11 hours ago by dipthong - Reply

OK... Here is what I found out. This comes from a friend who is a BMW mechanic.

Have to take the tail light housing out...easy. The contact area for the bulb...where those two nipples stick out on the shaft of the bulb....has become corroded...very common (think this might have been my first fix on mine). Pull housing and you'll see where the bulb nipples contact the housing electrical mounting board...there will be some minor corrosion there. Scrape away and then reassemble. That or the wiring loom as it feeds thru the truck lid....corroded nipples are easier.

Any good place to watch the UEFA Champions League final tonight? - 18 hours ago by Ram brat - Reply

What a match! I am a massive Chelsea fan despite my ties to Germany..and THAT was a titanic match that delivered to the significance of the achievement.

Tail light not working? - 19 hours ago by Lovecheese - Reply

Will do, I haven't got to check yet. Been to busy today. At most, I'll just register it with temp plates and sell it cheaply to someone.

Lovecheese, before I ask for the material, let me know if the Chilton's database worked for you.

Tail light not working? - 23 hours ago by Kristen - Reply

Or if you have a library account, you can log onto your account and access the Chilton's database. It helped me with my car.


note to self--good to know this

What kind of car? I know it is a 95 BMW, but which model? I may be able (no promise) to get you the repair manual and electrical diagram.

Futbol match between Bayern Munich and Chelsea, should be pretty good.

Love futbol but havent had a chance to wander the locations nearby. Prefer an English pub(or Irish) for that matter.

Rome - 1 days ago by Maddog813 - Reply

I booked an apartment through vrbo.com. I'm pretty excited about it. There will be 6 of us so it should be fun.

Tail light not working? - 1 days ago by Lovecheese - Reply

I'm not to electronic savvy. If possible can someone assist me in trouble shooting my problem?

My 95 beamer has a left tail light out. (reverse/back up light). My first thought was a bulb... I changed the bulb and still nothing.

My second thought was the fuse. I changed that and still nothing! I then switched light bulbs from the right side and left side... The right side continues to work, but left side still doesn't.

Now the brake light works but the tail light doesn't. How do I fix this?

Chilis on ramstein? - 1 days ago by seriously - Reply

lovecheese-that is actually the most intelligent question asked.

Chilis on ramstein? - 1 days ago by Kristen - Reply

Dumb question... But why do people care where other people eat?

so we can pass judgement on them silly

we stayed in an apartment both times we went

X = female chromosome
Y = male chromosome

So, I would much rather eat at X.

Chilis on ramstein? - 1 days ago by Everton - Reply

Because it makes them feel more superior that they can say "I ate at X restaurant instead of Y restaurant".
