Been here 2 years, hate every minute. Luck has it that I get back for a week every 3 months. Anyone else wish they were back HOME?

Hiya. There are a couple of people on BE who lived in Vicars X. I have been here for 10 yrs, first 2 yrs were dreadful, but then it started to get better. Do you still have a home in Frodsham? Used to take my dogs to the vets there.

That's more than a lot of folks on here, so thank your lucky stars.
Personally I find that I'm always homesick (or at least missing things from home anyway) - you just have to keep yourself busy enough to keep it in the background - as soon as you sit still it'll be just waiting there to kick you in the knackers.
At the same time I also know that this is prob the right place for me right now.

Yes I totally agree with everything you have said Davy.

It helps coming here to get a dose of Brit humour, cynicism and...well from some posters just a dose

I also think that the older you are when you move here the harder it is to settle and put your past life behind you. Davy you are young and have your whole life ahead of you so I say go for it, see and experience as much as you can before you get tied down, live the American dream you can always go home. Good luck Davy, I hope it all works out for you.

Maybe you hate life in CA. You should try living elsewhere in the US. CA is certainly not like other states and CA should not be an indicator of life elsewhere in the country.

Something else I agree with. I wish I had something like BE to fall back on 10 years ago. Just to know that most people go through the same emotions as me is sooooo reassuring.
