@corlin That must've been neat. My mom's cousin did that in Germany and loved it.

"Piobar" ("PAY-par") is pepper, and "caise" ("CHAY-zuh") is cheese.

I'm learning Scottish Gaelic! It's surprisingly close to German. In fact, they both have exactly the same spelling and pronunciation for bread: Brot "broht," with a hard "R." #languages

@corlin I'm in much the same boat except I can't even dream of world travel because a weekend stay in a hotel and the gas to get to it is nearly prohibitive for me, let alone whatever event might have drawn me there. (The events are always cheaper than the combined hotel/gas costs, and I bring my own food after requesting a room with a refrigerator and microwave.)

@omnipotus I'm an iPhone SE person myself. $700 for a pretty darned powerful phone.

@NIUPEOPLESCHAMP *safe hugs* You've given your beagle buddy 12 years of love I'm sure he enjoyed very much. That's a victory.

@SteffieEffie You sure you aren't talking about Insta? LOL

@ShellyMeyerAuthor AHHHH-MEN!

@th3j35t3r I more than understand and appreciate the urge to tease the Orange Menace, but please realize this "humor" also puts down those of us who have difficulty with obesity because of hormone imbalances. Thank you.

@MrsE0113 I have a favorite type of pen, and I get very upset if someone walks away with it instead of taking one of the obviously cheaper options available. I think this is quite possibly true of a lot of pen users. For one thing, since I started having issues with hand pain, I have had to start using pens with larger barrels that cost more; so, if someone leaves with one of them, I will get very upset indeed.

@Madken65 Kinda knew they would do this, though, didn't we? Their power-hungry leader is a follow-or-suffer-the-consequences kinda guy.

@Sheree Awwww, now I miss the chihuahua my apartment management made me give away. *pout*
