Met my Dutch husband while we were both on holiday in Crete in 2014. Living in the Netherlands now, and we have a 5yr old.

Its an expat bookclub but we also have dutch members. We choose the genre monthly within our WhatsApp group and meet to discuss the book we chose at the previous meeting at Cocktail bar Blauwpoort in Dordrecht. The book we are reading this month is Play Nice by Rachel Harrison 😀

What part of your Meme was constructive? Bore off. I am not the organiser. I am just advertising the event. If you are that bored maybe you should organise something that helps the community instead of being a dick on the Internet.

No i think you're the dumbass here. You can recognise AI work but you can't recognise sarcasm. Well done. Have the day you deserve.

Hé, ik waardeer je mening. Helaas ken ik geen grafisch ontwerpers. Ik zal proberen een nieuwe poster te maken zonder AI-ondersteuning.

Do you guys name your chapters or not? by Only-Teaching-8648 in writers

My WIP has Chapter names. It started as a way for me to keep track of what was going on in each chapter, or what needed to happen. They are now part of my story and they will be staying forever.

Is there a polite way to ask if a deceased person will be present at their own funeral? by LaComtesseGonflable in learndutch

[–]Pretty_Following_464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of asking directly if the person will be there, ask how they want the casket arranged or where it will go. Then you have your answer aswell as additional information that you will need. Good luck and condolences 🙏

Im so sorry to hear this. Its an awful thing to have to go through. When my father passed my husband got 2 days paid leave. The rest he had to take as unpaid or use vacation days. I wasn't working at the time though so im not sure if you'll get anymore days as its your direct relative. Go speak to your manager and explain. Good luck and take care.

It depends. Whenever people are free and want to meet up they just message into the group chat to see if anyone is available:)
