I am trying to get things more stable so I can travel. Promise! I have a long list of places to go in and around Germany!

β€œWarmongers” is just a bit too on the nose.

Add in a kid with adhd going through puberty…our house is delightful some days. 😬

I don’t know how this went under the radar until now. Horrifying.

Are you even a Berliner if you haven’t awkwardly carried something home on the ubahn? Yes, I even ran to catch it carrying an area rug.

Man at bus stop looked at me and said I should just use it to fly home. Germans do have a sense of humor!

I was diagnosed at 12 but any time of life with hormone changes sucks as an adhd person. It’s 10x worse.

Honestly, I cut my parents off after Covid/being supporters of the president. That made moving easier. If we were still in contact I’m not sure we would’ve left.

Honestly, the fast food makes me angry…but it couldn’t have happened to a better group of guys. I hope they enjoyed their soggy cold burgers.

Agreed!
(Also, we used to live very near this mural. I miss it!)

I think it’s traditionally how Muhammad broke his fast.

I’ll never forget taking the streetcar home from work one day when we lived across from Commander’s. Tourist couldn’t believe I actually lived in the Garden District. β€œOh, I don’t think I’d like that!” πŸ˜’πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

That’s how it is here. Lots of shopping centers have a chain grocery in them. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

I have failed as a parent. I asked Oldest Kiddo to check if we had lettuce. He checked in the pantry. πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Since 2016 I have tried to only read transcripts when he speaks. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve listened to him.

No. We can’t shower until tomorrow.

If I hear β€œmorgen” one more time…

I’m assuming it’s open to help dry the grout. Although it’s been raining so who knows how long it will take to dry. πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Yup. It was also visually…a lot? Choosing the fonts and the background colors and such.
