flea, ask a financial adviser if any portion of the costs can be deemed a business expense. Maybe not, but it's worth inquiry.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm pretty cheap, but if my spouse were seriously looking at a job in another country, I'd want to go there first. Maybe the area will click for you or maybe you'll hate it. And that's a pretty big risk to take when you don't have to.
Yeah, that. Also: A week in Dublin for two for $2000! It's a bargain.

I'm very cheap & I would go.
If you starting looking into housing options while you're there, could you claim it as a moving expense?

Because books.
I would absolutely go, flea. Go and enjoy the time alone with your guy. Also, looking around pre-possible-move is really sort of necessary (or would be if it were me).

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I have no idea but he's speaking in ten minutes. Thank you, Twitter...

Addressing the nation tonight, unexpectedly.
I hope he's going to announce that the Democratic Party had temporarily lost them but had recently found their Enormous Brass Balls. And that he was going to vigorously defend unions, gay rights and women's rights.
But it's probably not that.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
OMG, y'all, get me off my ass. I am so tired!
I had a great time at the party, but it was very talky! We were promised jamaround time. I'm good at jamaround time! I'm less good at talky. It was fun, but I am introvert exhausted now. And then I bought one million groceries.
So I still have uber groceries to put away, cookies to finish, house to finish cleaning, beds to rearrange and make, and it's chilly and we're almost out of propane, so I should probably chop some kindling and make a fire too. But I just want to lie around and watch hockey!
But the SO is driving for, like, sixteen hours today, with bonus sitting around in-between flights time, so I should not complain. And I should get my ass in gear so that it's all nice when they get home in the middle of the night!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My guess: He's sick with something that needs addressing, like, I don't know, colon cancer. Or we're invading Libya.
Or, possibly he wants to punch Donald Trump in the mouth and would like a live feed on that.
Aside from the Trump punching possibility, I expect it will be bad news.
