Basically they self-destruct when you read them. That's one way to dispose of them! 🤷‍♀️

Nomen / Omen ➡️ Immergut

Here at my mom's house in suburban Chicago clearing everything out (she died in July 💔).

I've dumped *tons* of decorating / lifestyle magazines into recycling, but somehow there's still MS Living September 2002 here, and absolutely - she *nailed* the colors.

The Bibiena family would love this scena per angolo!

Wow, this should be interesting in light of recent events!

(Though "New Additions" should perhaps be amended to "New Demolitions"...)

Book cover of book Gebaute Beziehungen: Max Frisch und Franz Bruno Frisch – Zwei Architekten im Kontext ihrer Zeit by Petra Hagen Hodgson. The cover design features black text in a serif font arranged on a light blue background with an asymmetric pattern of thin white horizontal and vertical lines forming a kind of loose, irregular grid.

Several people have worked on him over the years. There was even an exhibition of his architectural work in Hannover back in 1994.

The Egyptian Museum in Cairo (not to be confused with the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum) used to run a salesroom from 1906 to 1979 "where original ancient Egyptian artworks and other original artefacts were sold. 1/3

Color photo of the top floor of a two-flat at night. Through a large window, a skeleton with bright orange eyes. Gesture suggests bafflement. A ceiling fan looms behind, making it appear the skeleton has insect-like wings.

Ooh, breeze block! 😍

Color photo of a two-story greystone building with a raised entrance. Two eye-like semicircle windows stare out, past a veil of ivy, from second floor under a triangular parapet gable. The building is warning you: STAY AWAY.

Color photo of the raised entrance to an apartment building in tan and mottled gray bricks. Front door has semicircle top, surrounded by compound arch, each layer a row of bricks, looking like a maw. To each side a large window in a rectangular shape but with curves along the long side. The overall effect is a blank face staring into your soul.

Scary building faces for the holiday 💀

Color photo of a multi-story building with a giant sun-like face painted on the highest floor. Excellent use is made of windows and other architectural features to enhance the anthropomorphization of the thing as it stares at you, eyes wide and mouth gaping, as if it is also surprised to be there.

Prices are now usually in 5 Rp. increments. Some discounters try to undercut each other with 1.97 CHF for a loaf of bread instead of 1.99 or 2.00.

When necessary, stores uniformly round *down* to the nearest 5 Rp.

It works, and is much less fuss - in contrast to shopping in the Eurozone. 2/3

🇨🇭 got rid of the 1 Rappen piece before we arrived there in the mid 90s.

I think they still produce a few each year for collectors. Sometimes you get one as an advertising gimmick - "Shop where every Rappen still counts!" 1/2
