I didn’t have an allowance as a kid, so tough luck for the priest. I could have only given up using something that as already in the house. (We’re not Catholic anyway.)

One of my dad’s friends worked as a mailman during Elvis’ time in Germany and also delivered mail to him.

One drunk christmas my father told me how he had his first time in the women’s dressing room of a department store in the very early 70s (he was in his 20s). I didn’t ask for this story (I’m glad I was already an adult when this came up), but it’s kind of awesome. I doubt he remembers telling me this story.

I don’t see it either. Her face shape looks a lot like mine and I have been overweight since I was a kid. But I agree on the other points.

A bit ironic that the school is called Peter & Paul.

At the beginning of the modern Olypics landscape painting and poetry were considered sports. Nothing surprises me anymore.

The little barrels do exist and in the past they did contain alcohol. Since they discovered that alcohol lowers your body temperature they started filling them with chocolate or other emergency food. In recent times St. Bernhard’s have become too bulky to work as avalanche dogs and they are no longer used for that…

But that also means we are nowhere safe from them.

I imagine them tackleing the mannequins.

That’s why a friend puts a combination lock on let’s say the handle of a teapot and only tells the person the combination after the other person has sent a picture that proves that the item arrived intact.

In the German broadcast they kept mixing up Pyeongchang and Pyongyang and they didn’t subtitle the first speech because they didn’t expect someone in Korea to speak Korean and had no interpretor on their team.

I’m not modest either, but sometimes I just feel like wearing long flowy outfits. I love long cardigans that billow behind me like a cape, but I’m as likely to pair them with jeans as with a minidress.

I have the opposite problem where they turn into a weird ankle length.

I once called amazon because they had accidentally sent me two items (I only paid for one). They just told me to keep them both because sending it back would be too much of a hassle for them.

If the skirt in story #2 was washable, it shouldn’t matter if it got wet with water or pee..

Doesn’t he do *something* to her boobs in the novel so she can no longer go topless for a while?

I’m not versed in 15th century French law. It was also more of an exchange, they left Quasimodo behind.

I’ve encountered some companies who, when I asked for a repair (even one I would have paid for), simply gave me a new product.

In French clm is short for contre la montre ‘(race) against time’.

Zip ties could work.
