Happy NYC ex-pat here. I love being able to drive past rolling fields and mountains with nothing in between us. I hope it never changes.

My mom is also from Havana and I came to say more or less the same thing.

Sorry, I’m still reeling over the fact that she MET UP WITH YOUR COLLEAGUE after this convo. There was no guarantee your coworker would receive that well and in fact there’s a greater chance she wouldn’t have and would’ve felt really uncomfortable.

Dump her ass. That’s unhinged.

Edited to clarify that it wasn’t their first meeting.

I would be open to this u/thalassaluna

hi op I am also new here! down in rutland county. welcome!

I haven’t! I went to school in northern Ohio in the snow belt so I have some idea of what to expect, but I’m sure I will be learning a lot.

hihihi

I’m a dreaded NYC transplant and have really enjoyed the people here thus far. Not quite having luck making friends but people are perfectly kind!
