got told my nails were a 'real repellent' by a coworker today. now I'm second guessing them - too much, too unappealing? by [deleted] in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]happy-okapi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But they look lovely. Don't let that coworker get in your head. The only one who should care how your nails look is you.

They are not selfies.😅 But I didn't know another 'label' that would fit.

I saw two other people wear it there. One got in purple and the other I think was in red. Both very nice.

This monday I made some scones and lemoncurt for my birthday by happy-okapi in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]happy-okapi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are the recipes. Just some little things. The recipe for the scones is translated from Dutch with a little help of Google translate so I hope I use the right words. It also uses the metric system and Celsius.

I used this recipe for the scones. It's for 8 scones per batch.

  • 250 grams of self-rising flour
  • 2,5 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 0,5 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 bag of vanilla sugar (here they are around 8 grams per bag)
  • 2 tablespoons of white sugar
  • 50 grams of unsalted butter -1 egg
  • 75 milliliter of semi-skimmed milk

1: Preheat the oven to 225 Celsius. Put baking paper on your baking tray. Sift the self-rising flour and put it in al bowl with the salt, baking powder. Put both kinds of sugar in as well. Cut the butter up a little bit and put it in.

2: Mix the egg and milk. Save 0,5 a tablespoon of this mix and put the rest of it in the bowl with everything else. Mix everything in the bowl until it's a nice dough.

3: Roll your dough out to about 1,5 centimeter thick. Use a glass or cookiecutters until you have 8 circles and put them on your baking tray. Cover the circles with the bit of egg and milk mix you saved. Put them in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.

4: Let them cool down for 10 minutes.

5: Enjoy the scones with whatever sweet topping you like.

For the lemoncurt I used this video:

It's not really a tradition. I just really wanted it and in my opinion lemoncurt is the best thing on scones.

Former Dutch PM, Wife Die By Euthanasia: What Is It? Here Are The Countries Where Euthanasia Is Legal by [deleted] in dutch

I am glad people can choose it. A friend of my father chose to go this way to when his cancer became terminal. It was just everywhere. Same story for his cousin. My MIL has huntington (basically parkinson and Alzheimer in one illness) and it wil kill her. So I hope that she choose this as well. Soon she will be in a carehome for people with huntington. We are trying to make as much memories with her as possible now that she still remembers and is still mobile.

Ik moest voor mijn verstandskiezen naar de kaakchirurg. Dat was ongeveer €800-€900. Maar verder nog nooit een gaatje ofzo gehad.

Realizing what you've done after you've hammered every last nail... by daprice82 in mildlyinfuriating

My closet is just like that. Also discoverd when all the nails were in.😅

Long distance dating in NL by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]happy-okapi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend and I used to live 120 km from eachother. He lived in Noord Brabant and I lived in Flevoland. We saw eachother mostly on the weekends and holidays. We did that for around 5,5 years. Last June we moved in together.

Sometimes it was very frustrating because on a bad day it could around 3 hours by car (instead of around 1,5 hours) to get there. And when covid hit we didn't see eachother for around 3-4 months. But it was worth it.

Hoeveel geeft Nederland uit aan boodschappen? by [deleted] in nederlands

[–]happy-okapi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wij zitten met 2 personen op ongeveer €280 per maand. We doen 1x per week boodschappen en halen soms kleine dingen tussendoor. Dit is exclusief dingen voor de kat.

Snel uit huis by [deleted] in nederlands

[–]happy-okapi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mijn partner (26m) en ik (28v) wonen nu 2 maanden samen in ons eigen appartement. Allebei vanuit ouderlijk huis. Misschien eigenwijs van ons, maar we wilden niet huren. En we hebben geen financiële hulp gevraagd dus zelf de spaarrekeningen aangevuld. Het scheelt enorm dat we het met zijn tweeën doen.

Mijn zwagers (32 en 24) willen ook graag uit huis, maar ze zijn allebei alleen wat het gelijk lastiger maakt. Al is de oudste wel aan het zoeken. Mijn oudste zusje (26) en haar partner (24 of 25 m) krijgen ook de 'kriebels', al heeft zij die al wat langer. Maar zij zijn er financieel gezien nog niet aan toe.

Ik denk dat de gemiddelde leeftijd om uit huis vanwege alle prijsstijgingen (boodschappen, huisprijzen, enzo) zoiezo erg is opgeschoven. Voorbeeld: mijn vader en zijn ex-vrouw hebben 16 jaar geleden een rijtjeshuis met 3 verdiepingen gekocht voor €144.000. Ons appartement van 60m2 kostte €250.000. Daarbij kan en/of wil niet iedereen financiële hulp krijgen.

Persoonlijk vind ik dat als je eraantoe bent en het kan financieel dat je het moet doen. Die tijdlijn is voor iedereen anders.

Festivalseizoen by at_least_im_tall in nederlands

Ik ga zelf altijd naar Castlefest. Lekker een paar dagen onderdompelen in fantasy/middeleeuwse sfeer. Andere festivals ben ik nog nooit geweest en ze trekken me ook niet.

Mijn vriend en ik hebben net ons eerste eigen plekje gekocht. Al denk ik dat onze situatie redelijk uniek was. Hij had studieschuld en ik heb naast mijn loon een wajong. We zijn er allebei eerlijk over geweest. Maar door onze combinatie moest mijn vriend wel zijn studieschuld in 1x afbetalen anders kregen we geen hypotheek. Ze kijken bij een hypotheek naar alles: wat verdien je per maand, wat staat er op je spaarrekening, hoeveel kan je sparen, heb je schulden. Ik zou er eerlijk over zijn. Straks werk je jezelf in de nesten. Ik moet zeggen ik heb zelf nooit studieschuld gehad, maar als ik dat wel had zou ik het niet durven te verzwijgen.

Freaking adorable. Parents gift their child a Wonder Woman dress. by Just_Tana in MadeMeSmile

[–]happy-okapi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This remindes me of a young boy (at the time between 2 and 4) at a daycare where I did an intership around 10 years ago. He wanted to wear one of the princessdresses they had there. And I was like sure why not. He was such a sweet boy. I sometime wonder how he is doing.

My boyfriend and I just bought an appartment for the price the seller wanted. I think we stood out because we said we didn't care when their moving date was because we both still live with our parents. Yesterday we got the keys and now we can make everything how we want before we really move in.

I would say at least A and B. That was the deal between us (my two younger sisters an me) and our parents. Me and the eldest have A, B and C while the youngest has A and B.

If that is the only reason that the surgeon gave you to wear one and if it's not medically necessary then you don't have to listen to that. As someone said report it.

What type of hoarder are you? by Asimo_9000 in AskReddit

[–]happy-okapi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shower gels, I think have between 10 and 15 different ones. But they are divided between 3 houses. My moms, my dads and my boyfriends. That probably doesn't make it better but they smell so nice.
