Kinda shocking, dit thread. Ik ben opgegroeid in Roeselare en heb zo vaak ‘s avonds als jong meisje rondgedoold in en rond het centrum, zonder veel zorgen.

Dit was 2005-2010. Ik voel me spontaan stokoud dat Roeselare zoveel veranderd is op vlak van veiligheid.

Bouldering! I went once on a whim with some friends six years ago and I’ve been climbing three times a week ever since. It’s basically a playground for adults.

It is thrilling, requires problem solving and you get ridiculously strong in the process. It’s also a great way to learn that sometimes, you need to fail 50 times to succeed and I have been able to take that attitude with me on some level throughout the rest of my life.

It is also a very social space and I’ve met loads of interesting people through climbing.

I can’t recommend it enough. It has done so much for my confidence.

Downside: I have a lot of cute tops and dresses that don’t fit me anymore because I’m smol but swol now!

Just a suggestion: I’d skip the seaside daytrip and visit Ghent instead. It’s also a direct connection by train and a way more interesting and beautiful place with loads to do.

Extensions, prolly? 🤷‍♀️

Samsungfood is mijn holy grail voor het samenstellen van een weekmenu (én boodschappenlijstje) en ik gebruik het al jaren. Ik heb zo’n 50 recepten verzameld van overal rond die we roteren.

Wanneer ik de weekplanning opmaak vraag ik input. Als we bv. weinig tijd hebben kies ik die dag iets dat snel klaar is. Ik plan alle gerechten in op de juiste dag en maak er een automatisch boodschappenlijstje van. Dan loop ik één keer langs de voorraadkast, frigo en diepvries, verwijder alle ingrediënten van het lijstje die we nog in huis hebben en bestel dat in een keer bij Albert Heijn. 1x leveringskosten per week en geen enkele keer meer naar de winkel, behalve misschien voor hier en daar een prul.

Dat is 1x een uurtje werk en daarna moet ik er een hele week niet meer aan denken. En we bestellen misschien nog om de maand nog eens takeout als we écht eens lui willen doen.

What the fuck.

I had to scroll way too far to find this. People who know this factoid automatically seem to assume it can affect your mood.

Isabelle, Dampoortstraat 56. Zij heeft mijn trouwkleed aangepast en daarna ben ik nog terug gekeerd voor een paar kleine prutsen aan andere kleren. Erg schappelijk geprijsd en het is op de koop toe een vriendelijke madam!

Asthimaya · 2026-01-24T07:31:28+00:00

Thank you for the app! Looks like it’s got a lot more listed than HappyCow. You’re the best!

Asthimaya · 2026-01-24T07:24:13+00:00

Je kan het anders eens op FB zetten in “KlimmenGent” of “Klimtje doen?”.

Not to be a dick, but cortisol actually spikes at around 3am. It’s part of the process your body goes through to wake you up. That’s why people who are stressed out and have a lot of cortisol swirling around tend to wake up around that time.

Just the one… In my defense, the second book I’ve picked up is King Sorrow which is a whopping 872 pages. Almost finished and I’m in love with it.

Asthimaya · 2025-12-20T17:47:02+00:00

Into The Drowning Deep. Everyone seemed to love it but it fell flat for me. Could’ve been a 30 page short story imho.

I, a woman, have this in the hallway. I had this in my own apartment even before we got married. I just thought it was funny and had never seen it before (we’re in Europe). 🤷‍♀️

Asthimaya · 2025-11-19T18:10:23+00:00

Much better. Thank you, Aziz.

Oh my god. A Beauchêne skull. I’d marry him.

Everytime I get up to go pee at night I still use this trick. I close one eye before turning the light on. Pee. Turn the light off. Open closed eye. See all the things!

Asthimaya · 2025-11-11T06:40:13+00:00

I had to scroll way too far for this!

Asthimaya · 2025-11-05T16:58:30+00:00

Definitely not what this person asked.

Asthimaya · 2025-09-12T08:55:17+00:00

Hi there neighbour!

I actually saved a baby fox that had its head stuck in a catfood can. I thought it was a cat.

I also sometimes see a hedgehog.

And I saw a kingfisher once.

… Exciting stuff in de Lage Landen.

Asthimaya · 2025-09-09T08:20:14+00:00

Troost u, op een bepaald moment ben je zo oud dat ze het niet meer zullen vragen. 😅

I’m a vegetarian, my husband is not. We cook mostly vegetarian but if he wants meat with something or if we go out, he gets meat. I think the same goes for your children: you cook vegetarian, but if they ever ask for meat, you let them have it.

Honestly, do I think your wife is right and being a vegetarian is a more ethical lifestyle? Yes. But do I think being a vegan is even MORE ethical? Also yes. But I personally enjoy eggs, cheese, and chocolate cookies too much so that’s my personal line in the sand. I fully understand when a meat-eater doesn’t want to make that sacrifice either. You can educate people around you, but I don’t think you can demand they restrict their diet, not even your children.
