That is a very personal decision and it's one that you must make. I assume that your daughter has dual citizenship since you are a British citizen, right? If so, then you could simply go back to the UK; however it may be less messy if you get ... Read More

Sense of humour in the USA by Bhavna
Hello everyone, Should we set out to explore AmericanÂ’s culture through its sense of humour? Indeed, if one is planning to settle in the country, it is best to understand the cultural codes governing humour in order to avoid any faux-pas. What ...
There is no one "American sense of humor". It's a very diverse country with 320 million people and many different attitudes. What one person finds funny, another may find offensive. This is an impossible question to answer. :) Read More

Financed Car - How to Sell it when moving out of USA by GuestPoser207
My car is financed and I'm leaving the USA for good in a couple of months. I called the bank and they told me to check with the dealer from where I bought the car that they usually buy it back (of course for a very low price). So, I went to ...
You can find some good advice in the link I provided here. A dealer would be the last place I would sell it because typically they offer the lowest price. Use the Kelly Blue Book website to find the value of your car, sell it yourself, and pay off ... Read More

I'm refurbishing a sitting room at the moment and trying to decide if it's best to go for leather sofa and armchairs or washable fabric ones. I've never had leather furniture before - are there special considerations or treatments ...
If you have a dog, you might want to avoid leather. I've seen dog claws put scratches and even gouges in the leather. Leather wears very well, but if you're going to be in a very hot climate, it may not be as comfortable to lie on as fabric ... Read More
Thinking about high school and college for teen ! by Brit390

I think it's an entirely personal decision, but my guess would be that your daughter is now comfortable in American schools and American ways since the majority of her life and all of her academic life has been spent here. That would carry a ... Read More
