The thread about literally nothing OO

:friendz:

No problem :)

alright I gotta go get a nerd check up lol

you guys behave

so what is everyone cooking for Thanksgiving?

Shit, I know some of you guys are like sorceresses in the kitchen!

Hallo Freund!

I am a German-American, and I was blessed to spend 15 years in your country (Rockenhausen, then built a home in Winnweiler)...only 5 miles from where my birthname originated. ;)

My father created the first orgone site on the internet. (He has been a pain on this website for long since before I got here, so if you would like the url, please contact me.) LOL

He has lots of orders from DE, and around the world.

Orgone is amazing and produces results in a short amount of time.

I miss DE SOOOOO much, but am happy to be home again!!!

Have you been to a Weinachtsmarkt yet?

I could use some gluwein right about now. LOL

Chuse!!!

LOL

LOL

So not surprised you are surrounded by females on here. :P

I am on dinner roll, pie and cranberry sauce duty. These Southerners do not eat cranberry sauce around here...but I have no issues...they deliver the venison! ;)

Hoping that nerd checkup is not painful! O-o

Just glasses

I can't find my glasses

LOL

Welcome to the 40s.

;)

LOL and wow, your dad is a pioneer! I would like to have the url please

I have to check the locations. I'm a born and grown West-Berliner, and still haven't covered lots of the country by traveling - during wall times, we'd fly to family members motherwise in the Netherlands and Croatia, and dad's family is Berlin-Prussian.

It was no fun to travel by train or car through the German Democratic Republic, so we never even went for a visit to the East half, and the rest of not soviet occupied Germany, didn't interest us either. A bit retarded, but that comes when you live in an island, enclosed by 3 meter tall walls.

Weihnachtsmarkt is scheduled for December 1st. There are lots of such markets in the city, and the one I go to every year is middle aged themed, with lots of beautiful handicrafts, acrobatic pyro shows, and stuff you and/or your children can try yourself.

I gotta eat a lot with potatoes and garlic for sure, drink Met (honey wine, amber colored middle age version of Glühwein), and gonna shoot some arrows :)

Chuse is cute btw, hihi.

Tschüssikowski!

damn, I didn't copy paste and a post got eaten.

...

@LilMiss, those are lovely spots where you lived in Germany!

It is totally different than my setting, but I get to explore such through my dear ones who moved away from their small towns in Saarland and Schwaben, which are close to Pfalz.

Here's Berlin at night, you can still see the difference between West and East ~

The wall itself is long long gone, and the few remnants for tourists cannot give a glimpse of how absurd it was, when it was there.

You have made my day, thank you!!!

Mushrooms with garlic were the specialty in my part of SW Deutchland!

I started hunting after I returned to the US. The DE coursework was expensive and hard.

I have gotten 2 deer so far this season.

I will send the url via PM.

Tschussikowski! I love it!!! LOL

Some facts about Germany, and Japan.

I apologize for not responding to you having to live on a island in your own county. That hurts my heart greatly.

I was shamed for being of German decent in this country much of my childhood. Going 'home' and living that life served me really well.

We are ALL family. ;)

I thought it was lovely, too! I lived in the Donnersberg. ;)

I hope you get the chance to see other parts of DE one day.

The 'Germans' in de Pfaltz are 'soft-tongued,' like the French, and the food is yummy!!!

Tschusie is common to say when saying good bye, and simply 'Morgen' is a common greeting in the morning.

Apparently those in the Black Forrest region think we are trash. LOL

Rotenberg on der Tauber! Where the Grimm Brothers are from...please go! Wunderbar!!!

Thank you very much, link is saved!

I hope the fun of hunting outweighs the demanding parts by now. It must be a lot that gets covered, and awesome to get your meat as fresh as nothing else!

This is a grade A sync also, as I've got to shoot with a rifle in Spring during holiday in the country, at a little and private shooting stand, and am about to go to an outdoor shooting range this Saturday.

A friend of mine joined a gun club and takes me with him for the last slot before winter closure. He has licenses and rifles and guns and a safe, so I am in best educated company.

Fanstastic!

Nothing like being able to be self-supporting!

I thought the cutting up the carcass might upset me, but it was the most rewarding work...and the healthy foods I am now making for my man and myself are amazing! No chemicals or preservatives in my house anymore. ;) (That is common in too many households in the US now.) :/

I added you to my buddy list, and am here for you anytime, Freund!

Will do, it is noted!

The Black Forest people belong to Baden-Württemberg, the most anal federal state. 'Schwaben' is a mock term for parts and the people of it, the Black Forest people could belong to them, too.

I have seen some beauties for sure, spent 4 months in Konstanz at Bodensee, visited a friends in cities, small towns, and in the country, from South all up to the North Sea - it is still a lot to cover though!

Have you ever been to Saarburg? That is in Pfalz too IIRC, and a pearl of a town getting flooded by Japanese tourists during weekends. When I was there, it was flocks of elderly people, one of the most pleasant kind of tourists imo.

Baden-Württemberg, Rheinland-Pfalz, Hessen, Saarland have the soft tongue, and I agree to food - it is very yummy in every federal state but the former East Germany ones, LOL. Saarländer have lots of actual French in their language, and I like this dialect very much. The Swabian too (not their mentality), it is so soft and funny when compared to Berlin tongue, and Northern dialects here, of which I like the Frisian the most.

Moin! is their greeting all day, or Moin moin!

Tschüss(i) is common everywhere, Tschüssikowski kinda pays Berlinian respect to the slavic origins of the city and its name.

I added you as well *hugs* great to meet you

Sounds exactly like I thought, totally awesome! I get my meat from trusted sources, and prefer regional and seasonal food mostly, with a few exotics added like spices and coconut oil.

Edit: wrong smilie. One letter can make a big difference, lol

Here are some corners of childhood-hood parts, and current hood.

I wouldn't trade a day



Here as well ~



It's ugly as hell here, and beautiful as in heaven.

What you want, fam, and what you make out of it.

Moin and 'moyer'!!! Yes!

You gave me such a happy heart today! Danke!

I iwsh I had made it to Berlin, but I am a 'semsitive,' and thought tat might hurt mine hartz.

I love the respect to the Slavic in the language. I was only ableto make it to Poland and the Czech Republic.

I am a jewelry designer and I have loads of old Detuch glass beads (prior the war...when the Germans moved outward, and the art was embraced by others.)

Please do not put down on your culture. So sorry I missed that. ;)

Much gratitude for you.

Not ugly in the least.

You should see the 'war zone' crappy places in the US. Sad stuff.

We are siblings, and that makes me so proud!

Thank you for being YOU!

It's about that time.

Thank you too, and no worries I am a German-Slav mix, and like to laugh at stereotypes aimed both origins, like in the link I posted, and how not natives view us. Often accurate, and I've come to know how much of a German I am in the positive as well as the negative aspects.

Though in the end, those are all compartments we tend to define us over through cultural upbringing. Nationality is frame of reference in my eyes, but not what I would overly identify with.

Berlin is indeed difficult to deal with for sensitives (me included), and I've met plenty who had to move away, simply by the accumulation and meanwhile growth of citizens. It took me until my late 20s and ongoing for acquiring lots of methods to deal with the shadow aspects of urban living, so though I am a somewhat proud local patriot, I cannot recommend settling here anymore, nor for I guess the next 10 to 20 years.

So, great for an extended weekend trip at best during Spring, but I would rather head for Poland and Czech Republic as well, recreational wise.

I am glad I could make you smile, same for me

awww thank you, sis <3

This is so disco!

I had to pull it here and put a German disco tune, exiting ze round for today ~

You are a precious human being.

I hope you know this, one day.

So humbled you called me sister.

:Spoon:
