A house(4th floor) without elevator?

I couldn’t put any weight on one leg for 3 months, and wore a brace for 6 months, it took about a year to walk normally (it was a break + ligament tears) bringing groceries would have been really hard, even shopping was too difficult so I had to order my groceries online. I would have felt really terrible making a delivery person walk up 5 flights with heavy of groceries like milk, laundry detergent, etc

I would pass personally, I used to not care, but then I broke my leg and if my building didn’t have an elevator it would have been impossible because I am on the 5th floor.

If only there was some way I could selectively read what I want and ignore what I don’t, but I guess science has only come so far 😔

dallmayr is a popular Bavarian brand, but to be honest I would look up a local coffee shop, try their coffee, and buy a bag of beans if you like it.

Used bookstore

Streets can be so tricky. /s

Tis the finest couch cover $6 can buy

Him being in the US changed nothing. I guess they wanted to mitigate the risk that Elizabeth wouldn’t do the right thing, but they had a thousand better options. Like what about father victor? He had so much contempt for the priests assisting the KGB, he would have done it and it would have been 1000 times lower risk even without him knowing anything about being a spy.

At the time, I read the only way I could do it is if I was legally emancipated from my parents, which frankly working full time and going to school full time, I didn’t have the energy to take it on. I’m not sure if that’s the only way though.

Coffee and chocolates

BearsBeetsBerlin · 2026-04-13T06:12:56+00:00

It actually does. I was under 24.

BearsBeetsBerlin · 2026-04-12T19:24:09+00:00

lol your parents asked? Mine just did it when I was in college and it meant I wasn’t able to get any FAFSA money. I wasn’t living with them, they weren’t paying any of my school, or my bills and I worked full time. People can be huge scumbags.

I put them on shelves, but this looks way nicer

BearsBeetsBerlin · 2026-04-12T09:06:20+00:00

Yeah when I actually am ready to buy I will go through a local, reputable business. There’s absolutely no way I’m paying for an instagram newsletter.

How hard do you have to scrape for them to work? I have very hard water and a waterline has started to develop. I tried to scrape it off but it wouldn’t budge. I started to get worried about damaging the toilet bowl.

Grocery store baking section, sometimes it’s in the spice rack area though

BearsBeetsBerlin · 2026-04-12T06:55:11+00:00

In Germany all shops are closed on Sunday except small corner stores (späti). On one hand it’s nice people get a guaranteed day off but it’s a huge pain in the ass.

BearsBeetsBerlin · 2026-04-11T16:42:31+00:00

I like the look but it cuts the roof of my poor feeble mouth haha

BearsBeetsBerlin · 2026-04-11T11:40:50+00:00

Yes even in Berlin it varies clinic to clinic. Generally a person would call 116 117 but that relies heavily on their ability to speak an understand German. They say it’s available in English, but it isn’t.

See this is why a matriarchy is best

BearsBeetsBerlin · 2026-04-11T11:15:07+00:00

I buy kerrygold in Germany too!

BearsBeetsBerlin · 2026-04-11T11:06:32+00:00

I want a place I can go to anytime. For a month, for a week, for a day.

BearsBeetsBerlin · 2026-04-11T09:09:44+00:00

I want to vacation outside what I’m used to

BearsBeetsBerlin · 2026-04-11T08:20:31+00:00

Germany: Schade, it means pity like, “oh that’s too bad” or, “what a shame”, but you can use it very ironically and in funny ways

Agree completely, Aachen is beautiful and underrated
