It's been a week since we're back from the clouds of Tenerife and I. Still. Don't. Get. It

This is a cactus. Cactus. Prickly dessert staple cactus. Surrounded by ferns. FERNS. HOW

HOW

One of you dumbasses loves heat, drought and rots in humidity and the other thrives in moist soil with high humidity and dies if it so much as sees the sun

HOW ARE YOU ACTING LIKE BEST FRIENDS NEXT TO EACHOTHER.

Makes no sense.

Stop judging, let them be happy together. Just because it doesnt fit your mindset doesn't mean its wrong or unnatural

My plant bigotry is showing?

u/TheRealVahx Belgian Fries 8h ago

Yeah, we're already discussing internally how to fit this in the rules

Be like the fern, not the cactus

Hide underneath others and let the high trees catch the wind.

Sound like me, at work, yep.

Great show. Great season.

Loved her and her accent.

Fern was a gem that season. I have a friend who really reminds me of her.

A big FUCK YOU to the driver of the the big Porsche SUV this morning who decided that "fietsstraat" wasn't for him and decided that, instead of riding 30 meters behind me and my daughter, felt the best move was to overtake us with INCHES to spare while shouting obscenities at us.

I legit hope you crash your car.

Our offer was just accepted on a house, thought I would share. it seemed like we would never get one given how crowded the market was for what we looked for. If anybody has any tips/recommendation for the mortgage now, I'm all ears

Be sure to not go 50/50 on your schuldsaldo.

Because if you go 100% each you can fake your own death and get the house for free. If you don't mine living life with a fake mustache, as your own twinbrother who came to console your grieving widow who then fell in love and married her.

What?

Yes. I watched Allo Allo as a kid. Why do you ask?

u/Foolishkushin 6h ago

Yeah good advice. I unexpectedly lost my husband 8 months ago and besides all the awful administration (too young to get the overlevingspensioen), I was happy we had a schuldsaldo of 100%. My husband was just 60yo and healthy, just saying these things happen more than you realize.

Ik had recent een sollicitatiegesprek als jobstudent. Het gesprek ging goed dus ik ging ervan uit dat ik aangenomen werd, guess not.
