Ash Wednesday Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaNewoyc8fU[/media] My husband sounds a bit like that when he's mad and really sing-songs with his Swedish accent when he raises his voice. It leads to me stifling laughter at unfortunate times but also comes in handy for diffusing the argument bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossCuT Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I was going to suggest that I could not deal with Swedish weather, but Stockholm is about the same as Dallas right now... Ive read so many blogs and swedish sites and they always go on and on about how tourists or expats need to be prepared for the Swedish winters...but here in Minnesota...its like 10x colder. However, Sweden has less light...and most of the time that is the main culprit for SAD. The cold might not get you, but the lack of sun could....Bring your lamps!!!

hoosieranna Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) My heritage is Swiss (Basel). My mother couldn't remember so she claimed Finland. I think she was thinking of Sweden and just claimed somewhere sort of (globally speaking) nearby. It made no more sense when she explained it. I've learned a little Finnish, find the Sami fascinating, and can argue about sagas and the Kalevala for hours. I would move to Sweden in a heartbeat if I could get a work visa. I buy fun Ikea cookies instead. I speak decent French but no German so I'm letting my Swiss part half (or one quarter) down.
