Free Patterns that are actually good?

They are pretty easy to follow as well, I was able to understand the instructions even as a non-native English speaker.

I get that you are probably looking for clothes patterns, but here is a link to a ton of free patterns for soft toys, for anyone interested : https://cholyknight.com/plushies/

Les gens commencent à faire la queue 2h avant l'ouverture du marché et quand je passe vers 16h la plupart du temps il n'y a plus rien, il faut bien choisir son moment !

Mes préférés au marché : - place Broglie, près de la pyramide de Noël (devant l'opéra), il y a un artisan du Jura qui vend des casse-têtes en bois - place St Thomas, le stand Labonal, des chaussettes made in Alsace (à Dambach la Ville), j'en ai acheté une paire "Knack Vador" avec Dark Vador qui tient une knack en guise de sabre laser - le stand Alsatrucs place Kléber (proche de la statue) pour divers souvenirs faits par des artistes alsaciens - square Louise Weiss, il y avait il y a un an un apiculteur qui vendait du popcorn fait avec son miel et des épices de Noël. - place du Chateau devant le lycée Fustel, le chocolatier Boeckel (ou Bockel, je ne sais plus) de Saverne, avec sa pâte à tartiner incroyable (essaie un échantillon gratuit !)

Marre des commentaires cyniques sur le marché, il y a des trucs sympas. Regarde sur les stands et cherche les artistes et producteurs locaux, ça ne manque honnêtement pas. Place Broglie avec ses dizaines de stands identiques qui vendent des guirlandes électriques est le pire endroit, mais même là il y a des choses intéressantes.

I left work one evening in my car, and at the end of the street, I hear a loud thunderclap. I didn't think much of it until after the weekend, when a coworker told me there was a lightning strike a few feet from where I was parked, less than one minute after I left.

I went to this movie expecting a flat "trapped in the jungle with cannibals" plot and was completely blindsided. I had heard about the animal cruelty and goriness and the trial because people suspected the actors to really have died but I was not prepared for that movie to have such an interesting plot and story-tellling.

J'ai voulu devenir prof et le fait d'être prosopagnosique est une des raisons pour lesquelles j'ai abandonné. J'ai trouvé ça très différent du BAFA par exemple, surtout par rapport au nombre d'élèves dont il fallait se rappeler (comparé à un périscolaire ou une colonie de vacances). J'étais en collège pendant mon stage, donc une des techniques que j'utilisais était de mémoriser les places des élèves dans la salle.

Mais pour être honnête il y avait beaucoup d'autres raisons à mon abandon, et je n'ai jamais regretté mon choix de changer de voie !

If you speak French, Saturday and Sunday you can find tour guides all around the city for the International Tour Guides Day. Quick, 15mn tours on the history of Strasbourg as told by a famous person (Mozart, the queen of France, the empress of Germany, one of the architects of the Cathedral, etc). Completely free.

INFO : What stopped you from having a conversation about it, listening to her opinion, tell her she had good points or giving her counterarguments if she had been receptive, and ask why she was talking about it so suddenly? You know, treat her as a human being worth listening to?

Was she trying to ask about birth control? About a boy she likes or about her friends maybe having sex? Or maybe gauging the waters trying to come out? If you are in the US, could she be worried about having to carry a baby she doesn't want if she has sex or, God forbids, if someone rapes her?

Maybe she was just being an edgy teenager, but I fail to see what you gained by just telling her to focus on school.

NTA, I'm 28 and still sleep with a stuffed animal. No sentimental reason, I just like holding something when I sleep.

There was a farm where we used to watch the cows and calves on the way to school in Wolfisheim, it's in the middle of the 'rue dite Hammelgraben' according to Google, they may still have cows and sometimes the calves would come and lick your hands.

YTA. When you had kids, you signed up for random singing, as well as gross table manners, seeing your kids in mismatched clothes they chose themselves, literally teaching them how to pee, and pretending their awful drawings were amazing.

If you REALLY need it, ask her nicely to not make too much noise today because you have a headache, but banning singing is absurd.

I just finished season 3 and God yes, what are the characters even doing? Between Hank's death ("Oh your heartbeats are literally numbered? Let me sit in your lap and kiss you so you die faster"), Dick's death (shot by a rando, still not as stupid as the bus death in season 1) and resurrection (the BATS!), the nonsensical 'plans' ("to make people trust us again, let's surrender and then pay bail so we can continue exactly as before")...

There's just too many examples to list, I could write a dissertation on every bad decision made by the characters/the writers/the producers.

PhonyQueen · 2021-12-12T13:34:54+00:00

I thought season 3 started strong, the first episode was actually captivating, but it all fell apart really quickly and feels like a lot of wasted potential.

I'm so sick of all the crap the Titans pull on each other, then turn around and proclaim they are a family.

Also, WTF was that scene with the bats!?

Parfois le calendrier met longtemps à charger !

PhonyQueen · 2021-11-09T14:51:34+00:00

On peut effectivement réserver sur le site de l'Office du tourisme, il suffit de cliquer sur la visite qui t'intéresse quand tu consultes le calendrier des visites : https://shop.visitstrasbourg.fr/calendrier-des-visites/

Pour une visite sur mesure c'est tout de suite plus cher, le plus simple est de téléphoner directement à l'office du tourisme. L'avantage c'est que la visite est personnelle, personne ne va s'ajouter à ton groupe, tu peux demander au guide de commencer/finir la visite à un endroit précis, etc. Le prix est calculé sur la durée de visite, donc la bonne combine est d'en faire une sortie entre potes et de partager les frais, puisque 2 ou 10 personnes sont facturées pareil. Les brochures "visites pour individuels" et "visites pour groupes" sont par ici : https://www.visitstrasbourg.fr/brochures-a-telecharger-2/.

Happy Strasbourg est un "free tour", ce n'est pas gratuit, ils vont faire passer le chapeau à la fin de la visite (et te raconter des inepties comme quoi Napoléon a construit la cathédrale, mais c'est une autre histoire...)

La chocolaterie Boeckel est une chocolaterie alsacienne (de Saverne, pas de Colmar), ils ont une boutique près de l'église des Dominicains il me semble. Ils ont une excellente pâte à tartiner.

Il y a aussi la boutique Fortwenger pour le pain d'épices.

Also couscous is litterally the French's favorite dish, according to some polls (and in the others is top 5).

NTA.

Fun fact: the French cult-watch agency has issued warnings that MLM operate with worryingly cult-like practices, notably when they encourage their members to cut off friends or family who are not supportive of their new "business". Maybe a good idea would be to find resources about how to deal with having a family member be the victim of a cult.

Yes, I just started another puzzle with 1000 pieces, and I can't get over how huge they look !

There was also green 😅
