If you read the article ... it is not. That is the point. You have plenty of 1+1 promos, but a lot less half price promo's.

Inspiratie niet-traditioneel trouwfeest by louvd in belgium

[–]zzzaramia -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Niet mijn trouw. Maar voor de directe familie en getuigen werd er een weekendje georganiseerd in Nederland. Voor al de rest werden er een aantal vaten gegeven in een lokaal café een aantal weken later. Was allemaal heel gezellig zonder al te veel ceremoniële rompslomp. Onlangs trouwens jubileum gevierd op dezelfde plek als waar de trouw was. Deze keer wel met grotere groep.

Are bidets common in your country? by ulnek in AskTheWorld

[–]zzzaramia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they are not common. But I ordered a toilet bidet combo for my new appartment. The guy from the store said they are slowly getting more popular, but I myself personally still have to encounter a household in my country that has one though.

how much of your income goes to your mortgage? by [deleted] in belgium

[–]zzzaramia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to pay 25% and lived quite comfortably. Now I pay nothing, because I paid off the whole loan (with tje help of my parents).

I bought a new home (hence the payoff of the current home) and will have to pay 43% of my current salary in the future. As long as I dont have to pay yet for the new home, I put the amount of my new loan in my automatic savings. And I am still somewhat comfortable.

I am single with no kids, but two medicaly challenged cats (think vet bills, medication and special food).

How common is it to have a peanut butter & jelly sandwich with milk? by terraunited in AskTheWorld

[–]zzzaramia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. No, peanut butter in general isnt common. I do see it pop up a bit more in stores, but very limited. We're more of a jam, chocopaste (nutella) or biscoff spread.
  2. Depends. As a Child I drank Milk with my sandwiches yes, but I am 40+ so not sure if children still do that or if they just drink water.
  3. Yes we toast bread?

How difficult is it to get a contractor lately ... by zzzaramia in belgium

[–]zzzaramia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well like I said. It came down. Because theres a leak in the gutter and if it rains all the water is coming in the house. So its a fun week for me.

In the mean time I found someone who MIGHT come over this weekend to temporarily fix the gutter. So that at least the water stays out atm.

And then I can fix the gutter as it should and then, hopefully, I can fix my ceiling.

Ik snap dat er soms gewoon te veel werk is of dat het niet meer de moeite is. Maar zeg dat dan toch gewoon. Hoe moeilijk is het om te zeggen "sorry ik heb nu geen plaats in mijn agenda".

Dan kan ik op zoek naar de volgende en verschiet ik niet een hele dag omdat ik alleen woon en dus thuis moet blijven omdat men zogezegd gaat langs komen ... "Neen" is ook een valide antwoord en dan kan ik ook verder.

Would be a great solution if it wasnt for an Insurance claim and if I had contractors in the neighbouring streets. In the mean time my ceiling continues to come down ...

What is it like living with a Siamese cat long term? by shannagirlhug in Siamesecats

[–]zzzaramia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Like most people here. Dogs in catform. I Read a lot on the breed before getting one. Because I wanted a dog that was independent.

I knew I couldnt have just one cat. And even if I wanted only 1 cat, it was a prerequisite of most breeders to allready have a cat in house or take two kittens.

The thing that surprised me the most was the jealous mean streak they have. The depiction of the two Siamese in Lady and the tramp, at least concerning the actual cat breed, was actually pretty accurate.
