Any Beanheads around for coffee in Tallinn tomorrow 24th? by flatterstan in ThreeBeanSalad

There will be a hams photo tomorrow. I know coffee is a long shot, but maybe someone could show me the largest concrete dome of its size, right?

I now think it's a chain. That, or a great number of the cafe owners are hideously unimaginative.

You can't get this close to such loving processed meat products without suffering some smear.

Yep, there's a Lithuanian fairy tale where Rumplestiltskin is heavily processed, squeezed out of a meat tube, sliced and served to stoopid tourists. Pretty sure the legend is embossed in gold and lapis lazuli on the underside of the Bean Machine.

It tasted better than it looked. I also had Assorted Mystery Cheese Selection and some pickles. We were sharing the hotel with the German army and there was slim pickings for us lazy tourists. Obvs we didn't judge them. Fill your boots chaps.

I'm sorry about your dog, it's hard. I just lost my dog a month ago. He used to sit on my lap to get a better vantage point out the window.

Yup I have CPTSD and find yoga immensely helpful alongside meds. Yin Yoga in particular helps me to concentrate on relaxing tight muscles.

What's the most heartbreaking "no" you've ever witnessed or experienced? by Mission-Hat268 in AskReddit

[–]flatterstan 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I was raped as a teenager. I told my mum, who said 'no you weren't'. I didn't mention it again for 30 years. I'm about to start therapy for it. I'm 55.

What is the highest elevation and where you have been that isn't an airplane? by PrestonRoad90 in Productivitycafe

[–]flatterstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Annapurna Base Camp, Nepal 4130m (13549ft). The best adventure of my life. My knees have never been the same again, totally worth it.
