Mortimer Davis, son of late Sir Mortimer Davis, and his wife, Rosika Dolly, one of the famous dancing sisters, have decided upon a friendly divorce, which is now before Montreal courts, is settled, as it is understood. Lady Davis brought the estate into prominence recently by seeking an injunction to remove Lord Shaughnessy as one of the executors of the estate. Here are shown Mortimer Davis and Rosika Dolly, his wife, upon whom, as it is reported, he will settle an annuity.
i don’t want to be a contrarian and op is right that it IS wayyyy more difficult to travel internationally in the US than in europe but i do feel like this is a bit exaggerated or depends a lot on where you live. my roundtrip plane tickets to paris during peak tourist season with inflexible dates came to $600. let’s say you stay a week and pay $50 a night for lodging (i’m assuming you’re staying in hostels or in an airbnb private room). that’s $350. travel + lodging = less than a grand. obviously you’re going to want to spend money on food and do touristy things etc so it could quickly become a lot more than that, and a grand IS prohibitively expensive for a lot of people - that’s definitely a lot of money.
but if you make over 100k? you can probably afford to spare roughly a grand to go on a week-long vacation at least at some point in your life. or at least not be like “i don’t know if i’ll ever be able to afford leaving.”
also, again a factor of where you live and it might be because i’ve spent a lot of time living near the US-canada border but people do casually go back and forth quite frequently.
(screenshot bc i don’t want to be annoying on op’s post and i do agree with most of this but hdjhdf)
do you think there's a reason we say "braver than any US Marine" specifically? like,,, are Marines known for being the bravest branch of the military? or are they just easiest to top? cause no one seems to speak about them outside of like everyone being braver than them.... almost makes you wonder if it is impressive?
woah what's this,,, a VOD from last year?? december?? being posted? oh my god... anyway hi i uploaded something on my youtube channel! please come and check it out, if you'd like! (it is kind of long though, rip. and i speak french)
