Yeah, my father's side of the family is from there. There is a repatriation program for people who were displaced (and their descendants) during the period when Lithuania was part of the Russian empire and later the Soviet Union. I have no intention of living there, but citizenship opens up opportunity to live in the EU.
Oh, fair dues. I thought maybe Mexico wasn’t working out for you.

Nope it's working out fine. These days it pays to keep one's options open when one's birth country is turning to shit.
Absolutely. That’s why I enjoy having triple citizenship.

Windows update screwed up my graphics drivers. It was causing Battlenet's update agent to continuously restart. What a PITA.

Massaging my arthritic knees

(it doesn't help, Naprosyn sort of reduces the pain) and thanking my medical insurance that I'm getting the needle in both knees tomorrow. I can feel the arthritis blossoming in my hips, now.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Just completed the upgrade process for my new iPhone (15 to 16 Pro). No price increase.

Aetna sent me a pair of socks to let me know that they're with me "every step of the way." What a ludicrous thing to do.
