My mother does this for a living (not with clothes, but with antiques). If you want to earn a substantial living it’s just as much as a job as any other. It’s also not a new thing, people have been doing this for decades. People need to stop creating drama over things that are neither new nor outrageous.

This is not how Michelin star restaurants work. Appetizers and dessert would be included in the $500, this is usually a fixed menu that includes all the courses (excluding wine and other drinks). At smaller Michelin star restaurants you often have a seat limit around 20 to 40 people a night and often (not always)…

You are an angel.

Please don’t gift me a thermometer or a tong, we have more than enough and most of the time you don’t need more than one.

That movie creeped the sh*t out of me, but it was so weird and was probably only aired once on German TV. I had to google it years later to be able to read the plot.

I’d watch the Sphinxes’ Gate scene with my hands before my eyes, so you’re not alone.

Never left us in Germany either.

None of these options look like I could wear them without worrying that my boobs look weird. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only woman with a cup size larger than B but I could be wrong.

No, it’s not okay. The fridge is off-limits unless the host says that guests can help themselves. Seriously, have some manners.

As a German I couldn’t disagree more. Also, yes, there are far bigger grocery stores in France for example, but they are usually located outside of town. In Germany (and I suppose the Netherlands) supermarkets are usually located throughout the town and therefore are limited in size and selection.

Do you mean Karstadt? Karstadt is a department store. They sometimes do have grocery sections, but not all the time.

Well, it’s just one letter GIVE THE MAN A BREAK!

As someone who always had music lessons and usually stuck with them, I don’t find it as easy as it sounds. I know plenty of people who quit music lessons when they were in their teens and now regret not pushing through, so it’s not as easy as “Just let them quit”. I don’t have children myself, but I do remember how as…

Guilty as charged.

Me too. I do it all the time and seriously, sometimes the synopsis is enough to scare me.

You can paddle both on lakes, rivers and the sea. In my experience on lakes and rivers you might or you might not fall in the first time. If your first time doing stand up paddling takes place on the sea, you’ll fall in. You just... you’ll fall in. Trust me.

This is probably the most American discussion I’ve ever read here.

45 minutes for a $300 four course meal is pretty fast. You don’t usually go to expensive upscale restaurants to just have a quick bite and then leave, you go there for the experience and I would expect something like described above to at least last two hours.

We recently went to a Dutch one star restaurant for a…

Well, he may not appear on Dancing With the Stars, but will he appear among those Dancing With the Stars?

This. It’s also not so confusing when you explain it right.
