    Hell, even Germans love 'em some Country Roads.

    EDIT: Forgot to add, when I met my Filipina fiancé I wasn’t sure what sorts of American culture she had been exposed to. LOL, put on Country Roads and she started belting it out. 9 to 5 also!

        Nice! My gf is from Manilla, total city girl. It’s a continuing joy learning what she does and doesn’t know about our pop culture.

        Hopefully we’ll get her back home in the next year or two and I can put myself in her place.

        How you like it? I have vague plans of us retiring there.

            Yeah, we’re both 52, and I have jack saved for retirement, but I’ll own this house very soon, so I got that to rent out for funds.

            Can’t get over how many old white guys are married to far younger women, it’s kinda hilarious. Her ex, a real POS, was 72 and that same guy just married her niece! I sincerely hope she’s gold digging on that man.

            At every gathering it’s a bunch a white dudes, even older than me, and their women, slightly younger that mine. LOL, my girl was legitimately upset to find she’s 6-months older than me! I talk shit in front of her friends about my “old woman”.

      I didn’t know the NFL played games outside the USA. Odd that two American teams are playing in Germany. I wonder what the audience demographics are. Do Americans travel to Germany to watch the games or are there mostly Germans there?
