Yearbooks are not a thing where I live, people only know them from American movies. The only times we ever took pictures at school was for our student IDs (maybe 2-3 times over my whole school career).

cheapskate option: inherit the whole lot from your grandparents

You’re thinking of Paper Mate.

I have one of her faux leather jackets. I’m busty and it’s the only one that fits at my bust without drowning the rest of my body.

This is reaching Kafka’s Trial levels of lunacy.

Reverse image search suggests50 shades freed’. I don’t know if that’s true or if google just adapted to my sense of humour.

It’s the same in Germany.

And I thought my grandfather’s rule of ‘max 2 pieces of 2 ply’ was strict. He’d either complain about my ‘lavish’ use of toilet paper or about my dirty underwear when I was a kid.

Would stockings work for you?

I feel the same way about bras.

I read it as ‘from the French-speaking part of Canada’.

My mom calls that the ‘forgot to remove the hanger from his jacket before putting it on’.

Did you know that Anni-Frid is a princess via her last husband?

The lyrics were written solely by Björn, Benny was the composer. After they finished a song they showed it to native speakers to check for any errors.

I know that stuff exists and have used it in the past. But because we usually do everything on computers nobody had any.

A few years ago I had to type a document during a big power outage, so I used an old typewriter. The fact that I couldn’t fix typos nearly drove me insane.

It looks like any shop that sells furniture and/or home decor in the past 5-10 years.
