Around here, people are told to walk with their kids to school for the first months, to teach them where to go and where to cross the streets. Then, at the age of 7 or 8 years, the kids are allowed...

This, and the ability to take three kinds of leftovers and turn them into a meal. I'm not a good cook, but I have a basic idea of what can go together, so there's always the option of making a stew...

It just seems kind of weird to me. I mean, even having to tell people not to bring firearms into a crowded arena for a convention or a concert. Especially for concerts - I imagine a large space with...

Probably not.
I never really like the US approach of giving guns to pretty much everyone. I just think that what many people want and have in their homes is far beyond what they'd actually need to...

I know. It's more of a practical joke to make people look funny while trying.

1. It is impossible to make your tongue touch all of your teeth at once.
2. You just tried that.
:~)

The stuff that's vintage now has already survived 50 years. So it is a choice of the best things from that time - all low quality items from the same time have gone to the landfill already. This...

I agree, being able to hang big laundry items outside to dry, or have a cup of coffee in the garden, makes a home feel larger.

I did that too, but only got annoyed because I could never afford all the fancy things they had. I'd rather look at the homes of my friends for ideas, because they live in similar situations and so...

I cut my own hair every few months, and only go to the hairdresser once a year if I really want a new style. Getting a haircut is about 25€ here, plus tip (which isn't required, but I know how low...

I see that all states in the article have about 20% of the population on food stamps. I am surprised by such a high number.
And I wonder how many people just need food stamps for a short period in...

We really couldn't have a formal dinner here. We'd lack kitchen space to cook more than one course, have only four soup plates and four dinner plates, and don't have a proper dining table. Inviting...

Thanks for that name :laff: that's perfect.
My home doesn't have a defined style. It is a collection of hand-me-downs, flea market finds and used Ikea.

Thanks for so many answers - looks like this is a topic lots of people wonder about.


I know, right :laff: like they hate their family and want an extra room and bathroom for each person, so they...

I love looking at websites about small homes. There's just one thing that bothers me: The sizes they call small.
My boyfriend and me share a 40square meter/ 430 square feet apartment. It has a small...

Shoes with noisy heels. Clip-clop-clip-clop like a horse...

In general, don't leave any drugs or related items out where pets or children might find them. Their bodies might react completely different than yours.
And don't even think of "It worked for me, so...

My boyfriend and I share a rented flat of 430 square feet (40 square meters). It is small, but it's all we can afford right now, and it is okay.
It costs 25% of our income.
Buying a home is not...

Goji berries sound nice, but I'm not sure if drying them and shipping them around the world is really worth it.
Greg44 mentioned a price of $10.47 - that could also buy me a whole basket of fresh,...

I carry in my purse:
Student's ID, which also is the tram and bus ticket for the semester
credit card
fitness club card
staff badge for work
enough cash for few days
library card
health...

It annoys me when people believe everything because the ad has science-y words like "ionized" or "oxygenated".

I hate when people write "Viola" instead of "Voila".
The word for a surprise is "Voila", because "Voi la"= "Look at this!".
A viola is a musical instrument.

I cleaned up my kitchen cupboards. Now I'm trying to make as many meals as possible without buying extra ingredients (except some fresh vegetables).

I couldn't do that.
Pajamas are part of the cozy bed-time feeling - if I wore them in public, I'd feel like I was sharing my privacy with everyone.

But these usually ask for some kind of proof of being needy. The free shop is free for everyone, no matter if rich or poor, citizen or immigrant - and it works. They even have to encourage people to...
