Trump: “So I launched a new cocktail called a Dark ‘n Stormy Daniels, but I had to take it off the market within a week…”
Obama: “Oh, why?”
Trump: “Apparently, it caused too many people to wake up with a financial hangover the next day…”

Boris seems to be quite the gentleman! Our first cat was awesome and a brave little thing, but when she clawed there was also an exit wound…

You guys are cracking me up

I’m contemplating a career change

Not Auschwitz, but have visited Birkenau and can relate to the impressions described above. Very recently visited the exceptionally well preserved Breendonk camp in our country. We were actually planning to visit the Dossin Barracks the same day, but decided against it on our way out of the Breendonk camp. Neither of us was in the mood for more of that horror…

I don’t know a lot about this. We live in the suburbs since we just don’t like living in a busy city centre. We live near Ghent, where young people do live in such buildings a lot. But in a city like Ghent I suspect these kinds of houses/apartments are probably the most affordable, which is the deciding factor for young families. Not sure it has much to do with being isolated from the street noise here. We’re currently building a new house and are temporarily renting a place. We very nearly rented an apartment in such a courtyard block in Ghent. That was until the lady started telling us about the numerous great activities that were organised in the courtyard during the summer! Community BBQs! Concerts! Kubb championships! I’m pretty sure the noise in the streets is nothing compared to the courtyard noise in the summer, so she lost us there…

@Aqua-Letifer That is interesting. Why is it (at least for me), that dreams, even if they are so vivid, are quickly forgotten? I will wake up from a dream and, wow!, it is super detailed, etc. but only 10 minutes later, I have trouble remembering it.

I experimented with lucid dreaming for some time for which I wrote down my dreams as soon as I woke up. Even a few keywords can help to easily recall dreams in detail. It‘s as if the process of writing down a dream signals your brain that it’s important to remember it.

Then again, there are a few dreams (mostly nightmares) I had as a child that I still remember. The brain is a strange thing.

Why shouldn’t she be because of that? If it’s anything like in Belgium, it’s already filled with dumb-asses. Would rather have a few more like this one. I’m sure Jon will agree.
