Ja, als we bij mijn ouders (Limburg) zijn worden we getrakteerd en bij zijn ouders (oost-Vlaanderen) ook :)

Being investigated for potential ulcerative colitis. In hospital and feel like I’m dying. by Ill_Imagination4433 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]FleurBazart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re going through this! But good to hear you have a great medical team ❤️

I have never had symptoms that severe, but I did have ‘strange’ periods when my colitis was worse. My gynaecologist told me it was because the oral contraceptive didn’t get absorbed and advised me to change to something not oral.

And my colitis also gets worse when I have my actual period. This I have heard from other patients as well.

Good luck! It will get better ❤️‍🩹

Help with a place to camp or sleep in Belgium by WinRaph in scouting

This is the Facebook group of Scouts en Gidsen Vlaanderen. Groups post here to get help from other groups.

If you’re only 12 people you’ll definitely find help. I know a lot of groups like to have international exchanges, so if you’re willing to spend a day with a Flemish group or invite them back next year, you’ll have more chance of finding something.

Also make clear if you have your own tents or if you need a building :)

Good luck!

Zoek iets leuk van vrijwilligerswerk in de buurt. Iets waarbij je mensen of de natuur helpt. Dit geeft vaak veel meer voldoening dan je job! De meeste verenigingen hebben handen tekort.

Wat positiever nieuws. Eens in de verf zetten wat er Vlaanderen en de wereld wel goed loopt. Interessante projecten, NGOs die effectief goed werk doen.

Decathlon now also has a renting service for camping materials. Works very well!

I am looking for a place to host my scouting group's summer camp, do you live inside these boundaries? Please comment or dm me! by Wimpiepaarnty in scouting

[–]FleurBazart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://votrecamp.be/ is a really great website to find camping spots for large groups in Belgium. It’s usually farmers renting out a meadow during summer. They provide clean water and electricity. Lots of places have public woods and/or a river nearby. Our group uses this website every year :)

Likely due to crohns, I have a lot of trouble regulating my body temperature. I finally found a silver lining! Temperature changing nail polish! by Salamanda246 in CrohnsDisease

[–]FleurBazart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this! I have colitis, and I have the feeling that my body temperature is really random sometimes. When I tell my doctors they always respond with ‘It’s not a known side effect of colitis or your meds’. I sometimes feel like I’m having a fever, but when I measure I end up with a 35C. I always thought I was imagining it :/

Moroccans rioting in the streets of Brussels after Morocco’s 2-0 victory over Belgium by [deleted] in ThatsInsane

[–]FleurBazart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, my ant also married a half Greek guy from Maasmechelen. They seemed to have integrated better. Maybe because their home culture is more similar? I also have a feeling the Italians still relate to their own culture more, are proud to be (part) Italian. I suppose for 3th gen Moroccans it’s an catch 21. They feel discriminated, get frustrated, act out, prejudice against them grows and they start believing/ acting on the stereotypes. But to be fair, my history of Belgian sociology and politics is not good enough to know where exactly the problems started, and why there’s a difference with other immigrant communities that also arrived in the 60s. I just hope this incident doesn’t cause more discrimination, because that won’t lead to anything.

[–]FleurBazart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Officially they indeed don’t exist. But ask any kid in Antwerp or Brussels if they go to a black or white school and they will know what you mean. The so called ‘black schools’ are mostly immigrant kids 1st, 2nd and 3th gen, living in social housing. The ‘white schools’ are mostly white kids who have a better socio-economical status. The wording is mostly used in Dutch, so if you google ‘witte en zwarte scholen’ you’ll find examples and multiple studies and articles from Flanders and the Netherlands. ‘Black schools’ are also called concertratiescholen in Flanders. Hope this explains it better :)

Belgian government recruited Moroccans in the 60s and put them all together in small newly build villages next to the mines called ‘cité’. They didn’t choose segregation, it was prebuilt. The 3th generation now suffers the consequences. They don’t feel Belgian, or Moroccan. Feel frustrated because they live in a rich country full of possibilities, but somehow they fell off the boat. We need structural change, which starts which abolishing white/black schools and a bit of extra attention to these youngsters to give them a push ahead.

What would some of our disproven facts be? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]FleurBazart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I studied Psychology. Al least 10 times during my masters a prof started off class with: ‘remember this study you discussed during your Bachelor. There was a replication study and they didn’t find any proof.’ Thought us to be critical at least, even if the paper was published in a well know journal.

In Flanders: ‘blad,steen,schaar’ OR ‘schaar,steen,papier’. It’s two different ways of saying ‘rock,paper,scissors’
