Grandparents born in Scotland. I want to relocate my family to Scotland. Any advice how? Hubby is a chef/mgr?

My husband and I want to relocate to Scotland or Ireland. We are in the restaurant industry and I really want to discover my roots and introduce my children to their heritage. I just don't have a clue where to begin.Grandparents born in Scotland. I want to relocate my family to Scotland. Any advice how? Hubby is a chef/mgr?
Not enough info in your question , we don't know where you want to move from, and I don't know why you would pick Ireland as a second choice?


The only suggestion I can make is that if you can afford it take a holiday in Scotland first and suss it all out when you get there. I'm sure there are plenty of jobs going in the chf/mgr area.(The Scottish are not renowned for their cooking abilities)


If you can't afford the advanced trip, you can't really afford to relocate, that would cost a fortune( depending where you are coming from)!Grandparents born in Scotland. I want to relocate my family to Scotland. Any advice how? Hubby is a chef/mgr?

I'm in Scotland , where are you coming from? Does everyone have passports and good health etc , its the first thing they will ask,








Why do you want to come here ? Its freezing , expensive,over run with incoming foreign workers, the wages are terrible, Fuel is through the roof, need I go on?
Depending on where you're coming from, you could get a nasty shock when you realise the cost of living in Scotland. I agree that coming over for a holiday first would be a great idea. You'll see that there are big differences between lowland/highland/urban and rural areas. Try visitscotland.com for info. Good luck!

I am looking for some advice on how to install surround sound speakers in a finished family room...?

My family room is finished with drywall. When I look up at the family room from the unfinished basement, I can see the floor of the family room. What I want to do is mount the speaker on the wall and ';fish'; the wire down the wall and into the basement. How do I do this and get the wire through the family room floor while I am in the basement. I am anticipating drilling holes, but I am looking for some input on ways to make this project as easy as possible. Is anyone aware of how to do this, or a website/reference that they find handy. I appreciate your thoughts in advance.I am looking for some advice on how to install surround sound speakers in a finished family room...?
you could consider going wireless





i guess beyond that we ran wire thru our vents.





U could drill holes, and be very neat about it with grommets. The speakers would hide the holes anyway unless u're really using small speakersI am looking for some advice on how to install surround sound speakers in a finished family room...?
Get a set of push pull rods. These rods will allow you to push or pull wire in the walls after drilling your hole.

Advice/Tips for adding another dog to the family?

In a week were going to be adding a puppy male black lab to the family. We currently have a male rottweiler. He is a good dog but I'm a little concerned about adding another male dog. Any advice how we can make a safe transition for the new pup?Advice/Tips for adding another dog to the family?
Resident dogs don't always relish sharing their territory and human family with some upstart new pup. To make sure peace and order prevails, take some care in introducing your new dog or puppy.

Spend a lot of time with him when he first comes. keep him away from the rottweiler for a few days, maybe keep one inside or locked in a fence or something like that. then every now and again bring the dogs together (with something blocking them from hurting one another, like the fence) and hopefully that might work after a few days or weeks. don't rush it. eventually they will like one another. but before then, don't leave them together without something barring them from one another. it's kind of different, but that's what i did with my birds and now they're best friends (and they're two males). so thy that and see if it works.
You don't say how old your Rottweiler is. Rottweilers are usually very good with puppies.


If there is less than 5 years between these dogs you would be better with a male and female mix than two dogs of the same gender who are close in age.


There is less chance of any fighting happening between a male and female.
This is good for safety, but maintenance is heavy. if you need, you are eligable to maintain then keep.

What would be some advice that you would give to a couple planning a family?

THIS QUESTION IS ONLY TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MARRIED.





%26amp; at what age did you start your family %26amp; were you married before your started your family?What would be some advice that you would give to a couple planning a family?
Marry first. Do not marry young. A guy generally starts maturing after age 23 or 24. A girl should not burden herself with having a baby until she is at least 21.


make sure that things are working out for a year or two


Save your money and make sure you are financially ready to have a child.


Make sure that you are emotionally ready and mature enough to deal this the numerous problems and expenses a child will introduce into your life.


Be sure that you are willing to give up the partying, frequent nights out, and spontaneous vactions.


Make sure that you can afford child care if you plan to work.What would be some advice that you would give to a couple planning a family?
Get your college education first, get a real good paying job, start buying your house, THEN have kids. Try to have at least $10,000 in the bank before you have kids......they r expensive and it will take alot of money to raise them. Just to get started on a family with furniture , clothes, car seats, and diapers is about $3,000, for your first one. Once you do start a family you shouldn't space the children out any more than 3 years apart (if you are planning).........lol... life doesn't always go according to plan.

I had a psychotic episode and admitted myself to hospital on family advice?

Although I didn't realise it at the time I had lost it big time. When I was being admitted into hospital my family were asking 'what's wrong with her'. The doctors said they didn't know and it could have been caused by a number of things. They said sometimes it is caused by the family and what I noticed when I was in hospital is that most people there had problems and blamed their family, I remember doing a case study at college about a girl called Ruby whose family constantly lied to her about who she was when she knew the truth and knew they were lying but they still denied it. This eventually sent her round the twist. Psychologist experts out there is this a common theme, the parent thing?I had a psychotic episode and admitted myself to hospital on family advice?
It's far more comforting to blame somebody, or something, else than it is to acknowledge ones own failings. This way, if it's not our fault then why should we be the one to change our ways? (Selfishness.) Passing the blame onto another when the fault falls squarely on us is a common trend these days.





But, more than that, we're a society of sympathy whores. We want to feel like the victim when, all too frequently, we're the villain. The resulting sympathy then goes on to reinforce this victim mentality. The truth, though, is that we simply don't want to accept responsibility for our own actions. (Immaturity, Selfishness.)





Perhaps its a form of social psychosis or, in lesser cases, neurosis. Maybe it's something they put in the water. Maybe it's just an accute form of attention seeking.I had a psychotic episode and admitted myself to hospital on family advice?
Since you didn't say what your problem is it's hard to determine anything. The family isn't always to blame and most people want to push the blame on someone else.
This is very tricky for me to answer as I know of stories where things are 'covered-up' by the Doctors. The main thing here is your own personal well-being. Why do you think your being lied to? When you've come down from whatever peak you were at, are things still seeming suspicious? Is there anything about you that would need to be kept to yourself so as not to make certain other people aware?


I'm starting to think I'm answering this in the worst possible way as I'm giving you possible more to contemplate then you already have been?


Whatever reason you were brought into psychiatric care, that is what needs addressing and you want to be in Hospital (you could of course be discharged by now) for as little as time as possible.


If you don't like what the Doctors suggest for maintaining a happy life, then do your own research into areas you've pondered on but never got round to doing anything about it.


If you don't like the support your Family are offering because you feel they don't understand or want to understand, take them out of the equation for now and go your own way or find others that can help you when necessary.


It is you that knows what is best for you

Have you ever loved someone against your common sense and family advice?

and had it turned out well? I recently met this guy and think I'm falling for him. I've just never felt quite this way about anyone before. My head tells me I'm crazy due to certain circumstances (see below) but my heart urges me on. Is love sometimes worth taking a chance and following our heart instead of our head? My family would tell me I'm making a big mistake because said person is currently doing time (for a non violent, non drug related crime) and that I'd be crazy to get involved with him. I see their point but isn't love meaningless if you're not willing to go the extra mile for a person and at least give them a chance? I don't know what to do. My head tells me I'm wrong but my heart tells me I'm right. All I know is that when I'm with him I'm happy. Any advice or similar experiences you would be willing to share?Have you ever loved someone against your common sense and family advice?
Well, the two guys I dated who cheated on me were both guys that my parents told me I shouldn't be dating, or guys that my friends didn't like. So no, I've never had it turn out well. They know me better than I know me sometimes, and I have come to value their judgment. I may not always agree with it, but they tend to be right.





You need to make your own mistakes. So definitely take the chance. You may be pleasantly surprised, or you may find out that your family was right. But at this point, all that matters is what you want to do. Just don't expect your family to be pleased. I chose not to listen to my family and both times happened to turn out badly -- but if I hadn't done it, I wouldn't be the person I am today.Have you ever loved someone against your common sense and family advice?
I did and it turned out terrible. People outside of destructive relationships usually have a different take on things than the two people in the relationship. I was in complete denial of the obvious signs around me. And man, I must have looked like an idiot to my family and friends who were sitting here probably thinking, ';I cannot believe he's falling for this crap.'; But what could I do, right? She gave me affection, attention, and intimacy, and I fell for it. I wanted more and more and I fell in love with her. Buuuuuut... those negative things finally caught up to us and it all ended terribly. And in retrospect, I realized what an idiot I was being the whole time, and how I wasn't thinking straight.





I'm sure you'll realize the same thing down the road.
This is going to be a long one but as you asked for personal experience i may as well share my experience. Well about 6 months ago i met a 26 year old guy for my nearest town where i have friends and i met him round a friend of a friends house. Any way we started dating and things were good for a while, but my mum and every one wasnt to sure about him. They said there was something that they didnt trust about him (a breif backround of him which my mum and family knew, he had two children which he didnt see at all, he had tried all kinds of drugs and had done time in prison) I ignored them as i am the kind of person that is willing to give anyone a chance if i see potential in them (i wouldnt conisder my self posh or anything but these people i used to hang around with are totaly not like me, they use drugs and are on benifits, were as i an well turned out, pay my bills and dont take drugs and work) but i enjoyed the thrill of being a bit bad.. you know. like we all do. anyway he started becoming realy contoing after we moved into his friends house and as she was disabled i used to help her do things and eventualy he would take advatage of my good nature and mentaly abuse me to do things for him like lend him money and get him drinks and basicaly do every thing for him, while he just sat there getting stoned, all in all he done me out of 拢700 and took me for a fool. its not worth going with your heart feeling, your head is the one you should be listening to.
