the average age in Norway is 41. in the US, it's 38. the population pyramids of both countries have small humps around 35-ish and 55-ish. Millennials and Gen X-ers. the Boomers don't make a dent, so unless voter participation is high among retirees, they're not particularly important to politics.

i went into every relationship i ever had with a girl as if she was going to be my future wife. the girls didn't quite see it that way. not even the one i actually married at 26. it became apparent from her later behaviour that she had other plans. you might say i've been used for sex a lot.

when i fuck up with a girl, my idea of settling it is to give it time i don't make good decisions when i'm upset. i don't think she does either. cool down time.

sneezing is the most selfish reflex ever. fixes your problem, but spreads germs everywhere.

ran into a pretty lady in the elevator in the entrance to the condo today and she smiled a bit. made me wonder if maybe i'm good looking or something there's this old sitcom about the Norwegian everyman called Fleksnes Fataliteter, based on the British TV show Hancock's Half Hour. he is not a sexy man, but he isn't ugly either. that's about where i place myself. not hideous but not exactly Brad Pitt either. just some guy.

i have an explanation for why business and sex are pretty much the same thing.

after interacting with a number of guys as a fully grown adult, i have pretty much come to the conclusion that, unless there's money in it, i'm not all that interested in making friends with guys at this point, unless we're getting entrepreneurial. it's business either way.

Norwegian has the word "dame" meaning lady or woman but also "kvinne" i always felt that "kvinne" was a bit more formal, theatrical and dramatic. you take yourself very seriously as a "kvinne" but as a "dame" you just like cupcakes and pretty dresses.

you should come to Norway if you have $92,000. that's a million of our Norwegian bucks, so you're officially a millionaire of you move here.

good luck is called "flaks" in Norwegian "flakse" means to flutter wings i guess all birds have good luck...

words that kind of sound the same in Norwegian 1. and (duck) 2. ånd (spirit) 3. ånde (breath) "andpusten" means "short of breath" is it spirt-breathed. duck-breathed or breath-breathed tho? :blobcatgooglyholdingitsheadinitshands:​

a pun i saw in a comic strip by a Norwegian female cartoonist some years back "mannsen" menstruation is called "mens" here and "mensen" = the period "mann" is man so when guys get grumpy, they have "mannsen"

more Norwegian lessons a girlfriend is known simply as a "dame" here "dama mi" = my girlfriend "fin dame" = hot chick a boyfriend is a "type" "typen min" = my boyfriend "kjekk" is handsome "kjekk type" is hot guy once you're married, at least if you're not from a fancy city, the "dame" turns into "kjerring" (also the word used for "old hag") and the "type" turns into "gubbe" (also the word used for "old ugly man")

flirting is called "sjekking" in Norwegian checking "sjekke opp" (check up) means to hit on or seduce. "sjekkested" (check place) is a bar/pub that's known for that sort of thing.
