Here you go, see "private Schulung":

I don't agree that homeschooling breeds geeks. Kids can get the benefits of group stimulus in other ways: scouts, clubs, etc. it is only a problem if a family secludes…

How to deal with moldy walls
Please read exactly what I said. Sweat CAN cause a problem. I also said I would have the plumbing checked. This is far more likely to be the cause of this mould. We cannot diagnose the problem online though. We can only try to give helpful…

Highway driving
It is way better to take Muni, tbh, in SF. Those amphibian trams/subway trains are awesome, cost 50cent a ride. But yeah, it is true that sitting in the American commuter traffic for hours on everyday is probably a nightmare.…
To be fair Poland vs Germany is not that far.
East Germany is quite similar to West Poland in terms of culture, economy, income, etc.
And there are numerous places, especially in South Poland, which were and are still german…
Thank you for the reply. For example, let's assume that I had invested 10k CHF 8 months ago and now I want to deposit the equivalent of 50k CHF, how can I understand if it's considered a commercial trading? Does it also depend on my gross…

Driving licence
Go ahead on your holiday. Take the photocopy of your old driving licence that you diligently made before surrendering it, just in case you need to show something in the slim chance you get stopped.
Manor in Lausanne had it around Christmas time, and it was labeled "Allspice"...no German or French translation. I checked back last month, and it was not there. It may be a seasonal thing, but I think looking at some of the food stores…
If you have proof that your were offered money for the work, and then did the work, then do this:
1. Send a letter by registered post, detailing what work you did and how much you are owed to each partner of the business. Give seven…

Beware of Cigna!
MegsB all you can do is cancel the Cigna policy as soon as you're allowed to. Swiss health insurance will cover you well here and when travelling in the EU if you have an emergency and as terrifisch says getting an medical travel…

I'm going to be starting a new campaign soon using a variation of the AD&D 1e rules. If anyone is interested in joining please let me know. You don't need to own or have played these rules before to join.

True, and they wouldn't bother applying for a permit if they didn't think they had a reasonable chance of getting it. It costs too much time and money to waste on any application unlikely to be successful.

Bank account for non-residents
Which means a non-resident can open/maintain an account here!
It doesn't look like that PF (or some others) require a minimum deposit though. Particularly not in the case of existing customers. The OP is already a PF customer.…

UNIL admission 2017/18
Thanks Thierry.
Yes I recommend everybody to have very good grades and some other things on top of that to apply ETHZ. A friend of mine saw some of international applicants from Asia and India. He was blown away! Not only they all…

Lepto 6 Vaccine for Dogs
Yes, I know that with any vaccine - some will not be able to create immunity from the vaccine no matter how many injections they have, and some will die.
But
With the L2, if 6 million dogs are vaccinate then potentially less than…
Tories (UK) have just quietly raised the threshold to £22,400- to bring a foreign spouse ande children into the UK - if there is one or more non-European-born child in the family – and the income of the non-European partner does not…
Thank you again to everyone for sharing advice and experiences. We are not quite ready to take this huge step and move our girls and life around the globe. It also seems too close with permits and visas. Not ready for that level of stress…
Also do not take the above posts as confirmation that Zahnarztzentrum is bad. I and my wife have been going there for more than ten years and are perfectly happy.
In my case, I had orthodontic work there and there was no upselling... in…
@Martinct, I hear you loud and clear that you are interested in info about this particular school. However, there is no school for your children for another year yet. You can send them to play-groups, but kindergarten will start only in…
Mark I am sympathetic to your concerns, and am very sorry for your loss. But my concerns over your approach stand.
You must understand that you, a complete stranger with no bonafides on this forum nor any connection to Switzerland,…

Physio in Lausanne
We do have a relocation agent working for us. We're hoping to find a four-bedroom apartment or house, for CHF5,000 to CHF7,000 a month. Seems like there are some listings in that range, but I know spotting a listing is only the beginning.

Hit from behind
Stupid in the following sense:
When you are driving a car you are in charge of a (potentially) lethal weapon. Yes, everyone makes mistakes, but some people make a great number of mistakes, often the same ones over and over.

Kittens pooping under bed
I had a friend who had a similar experience. The first thing they tried was to have multiple (4, 5, 6) small litter boxes around the house, and for sure one or two in the bedroom (in your case). It's a pain in the rump to keep them clean…
You can either find a suitable arrangement with thew agency/Landlord, or not.
Failing to do so will probably cause an extra special look at handover...
Dialogue, talk with them, they don't want shit, nor do you !
I always find these painting threads a little funny..
If the apartment is a shit hole then don't move in, easy.
If it's fine but could use a little paint here and there, do it yourself.
If the apartment is perfect then leave it that…
