good morning. been a rough day. my wife and I have been seeing a psychologist for the past few weeks to figure out how to deal with our difficult child... last time she (the psychologist) had us fill in a kind of test, and had his teacher fill in the same test. today she told us she strongly suspects he has ADHD, and that we should have him properly evaluated.

it was a pretty big kick in the groin.

looking back, it totally makes sense, but I was really hoping it wouldn't be that.

now to figure out how to move on from this. I hope we can deal with it without drugs. because it makes me sad to think my son needs drugs to fit in and function properly in our society.

heh. Amazon has been semi-fucked since a little before 1:00 PM eastern today. It has affected their web services and their retail site is currently unable to display my order history.
I had an Amazon package delivered yesterday that contained a sweatshirt with an alien on it. I ordered 18 awg wire. I'm not sure if it was just an umprompted gift on their part?

Well interview yesterday went well so they have invited me to Denmark for meeting in person. Got them to pay for the flight too. Gotta prepare some more so I can kill it on Monday.

I will miss living in the States. When we have to move it will be very emotional but it's just the right decision me and the family. Trying to the citizenship application through so we have an easy way to return.

Congrats and best of luck! Are you sure about this citizenship thingy? You'll have to be sending tax returns and report all your financial accounts, stock positions and pension funds for the rest of your life.

I rode today. Trails were mint, weather just perfect for February, too bad the "March mud bad" starts tomorrow - when there's no mud. I don't feel bad about violating stupid regulations...

As someone with experience, knowing is better than not knowing. Addressing it now, should the evaluation confirm suspicion, will help him adapt early in life and possibly prevent even worse kicks in the groin as he gets older. A.D.D. isn't always outgrown so best to tackle it sooner than later. :)

The plan was for only the wife to get it initially. You can really just ignore the tax returns as far as I know and then only submit some few years if you return.

If you are in Denmark as a normal tax p
:monkeydance:

If you are brave. You can't do that with the fbars, though.
I talked to somebody who returned recently and they were made to file taxes for the last two years that was all. Plus if you live in Denmark you will pay way more tax than in the US really a waste of time to file for any party.

I'm down with anything above my pay grade as long as I am not paying. :)
