Yes we know that saying in Germany too. "The early bird catch the worm" but " the SECOND mouse gets the cheese", so I like to be not so early. Sleeping long, having late breakfasts and beeing lazy most of the time, and yes, I am retired 😁🙋♂
Hi Stacey, welcome back ! Thanks for sharing your Grandma's house cleaning story. I'm amazed neighbours were interested in some stuff - great that not all went into the trash while the most had to go to the trash of course. Thumbs up for your bucket list items ... hiking, very nice O ... wanna see the complete -finished- H O M E :-) Once a teacher said to me: First thing is to slow down English native speakers :-). Here you were quite slower ua-cam.com/video/PyTsfsuKBY4/v-deo.html as now fresh back from USA :-) (glad you had some good time there) ..not sure about my skills (watching a lot) but I could understand 80-90% but years ago I would have understood just 40%.. Yeah... first: enjoy summer and whenever you want to post a video: do it! Remember the not sunny short days in winter providing more time sitting warm infront of the camera 🙂 waiting for your gardening vlog. About the worms? One option is to make a photo and go to a garden center and ask the stuff what you can do. Or better: Ask some German neighbours :-) But meanwhile I think it's about these (and I think there's no 100% way to avoid them in summer) > www.gartenjournal.net/maden-in-biotonne very annoying small black ones inside + outside > www.gartenjournal.net/obstfliegen
Hi Rairei, thank you. I’m thankful that people were interested and they can share a bit of my family and in general history. I’ll put a community post sharing the HOME sign in different seasons. Keep a look out.🙂 I taught English for quite some time so I usually try to speak clearly and slowly, however at times I get quick again. As you mentioned usually after visiting home. My friends like to tease how slow and funny I talk. Then I pick up the pace. Your writing seems quite good, but I know many people struggle with speaking more. Touché! Summer is the time to be out and enjoy. Hope you are doing the same. ☀️ No, it’s not the white worms from the Mülltonne. What I have is called a European Chafer or it at least looks identical. The little black ones are such a nuisance. I usually try the half vinegar half water or half soap half water trick, but can never get all of them. I got one of these for my windows and doors and no we have them way less. www.otto.de/p/insektenschutzplissee-kesser-magnet-fliegengitter-tuer-insektenschutz-magnetvorhang-S0M3L0WW/#variationId=S0M3L0WWUET1
Wenn du Probleme mit Insekten an Pflanzen hast, besorgen dir ein Produkt das Neem enthält im Gartencenter. Z.B. Neem Azal TS. Ist wirksam und für Menschen völlig ungefährlich.
Yeah.. it's not a matter of time as long as you and the person running the same vibes and interests. Hope your German (perfect!) speech in the vlog was just an ironic exaggeration ..haha Maybe short explaination and question whether there might be a next meeting for something..
Oh, sniff, you're back here to just get some clothes and leave us again? I feel hurt.... Just kidding! Have fun at the wedding and enjoy the company of your old (ah, I'm making the same mistake again, do I? Implicating you might be old as well? But as I myself am in my late fifties it relitavizes that somehow...I hope) college friends. And as I said to another YT-expat more than once: there is a life outside this virtual bubble. Take your time and enjoy it! You don't owe anything to your audience and/or subscribers other than to stay safe, healthy and yourself. Unfortunately I can't give you any tips on Sicily or be of any help regarding your garden. I've never been to that Island and I have what we Germans call a "brauner Daumen - brown thumb". I'm the Midas of Plants - everything green I touch immediately turns into a withering brown. I totally agree with @haroldtzentner2663 btw. Call her and explain the circumstances of your silence to her. If she's at least a little bit interested in persuing a friendship with you she'll understand and the two of you can have a fresh start. And lastly, the saying of the early bird can only be replied to with one possible comment: "the early bird can bite me"...
I know, I know! It seems like I’m running away from something. Hmm? No, just enjoying the summer busy season. I am looking forward to the (hopefully) slower second half of the year. Hope you yourself are enjoying the summer. I admit it I’m getting old, but…. not as old as you. 🫣😉 Hope that lands without being offensive. Cough. 🙂 You are right! Health should always be a priority and all the digital world is quite amazing, it is not the same as personal relationships. Thank you for not giving advice as I would like my plants to live. 🌿 I’ll have to gather up the courage to make the move. And yes, sarcasm is always present and welcome in our household. 🥸

Haha. I love this. I’m using this on my husband next time! Enjoy retirement. 😴🧇🛀
Coming back one more time because I just used this on him…he shook his head and said, “not funny.” Lol. Thanks again for this.
@@thestaceyminks so he seems to be one of this humorless typical Germans 😱. Thank god I am not so much typical German, I am Bavarian! 🤗😉
Maybe we should move to Bavaria.
😂😉
@@thestaceyminks Jo, kauf dir a Dirndl und komm her. Nice people here, well, most of them 🤗🥰🙋♂

Danke für den Tipp.
Wohnung ... perfect german pronounciation ..aha...schööön
Call her and explain the situation, she will understand
