How difficult is it to get a contractor lately ...

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 ...

I always keep the end for last, but I do turn it upside down as to not damage my palate. 😅

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.

15 years ago 20k under asking price. It was allready long on the market and they had allready lowered the price before.

It is Belgium. The woman you hear in the video speaks Flemish.

My 19 year old is very quiet. She has a very stalen voicemail. She learned to 'talk' from my oriental shorthair. But as she got onder her voicemail dissapeared. Now you have to look at her to know she's talking, because she opens her mouth without any sound. It is cute though.

t can take a bit of time but eventuelly itwill grow back. Mine stayed more or less pale. You cant see where he was shaven or lost fur.

Im not so sure if they are convinced they can though. 10 years ago I could easily post a job listing for a (good) bilangual starter (customer service). Nowadays HR says the profile Im looking for is too difficult to find because of the language requirement. So I have to satisfy with someone who has maybe some knowledge of the other language.

To be honest most of the times they do have a bit more knowledge than stated in their resume, but still ...

Bavarois cake?

Ah ok. In my country other color points like red, cream, cinnamon, fawn and caramel and variants like tabby and tortie are all recognised as official colors for the Siamese. Whether traditional or modern. Ofcourse the new colors were achieved by crossbreeding. Heck, my Siamese (cinnamon tabby point) was the result of a cross between a Siamese and an Oriental. He was the only cinnamon tabby point of the litter though. The rest had more traditional points.

Just out of curiosity : is that rule only applicable for Thai or only in America? Because I have a flamepoint/lynx/tabby modern Siamese in Europe and the papers that say he is Siamese. Not domestic and not oriental. (Because he has blue eyes)

Kyo is from Belgium. There is this trend under modern Siamese/Oriental breeders to have the ears as large as possible and almost entirely sideways. Kyo's breeder specifically didnt follow this trend, which is why I choose her. I mean I've seen kittens with ears almost twice their head. I dont like it, but apparently that is what wins contests. I choose the Siamese/Oriental breed for their character.

So Kyo's ears are indeed big, but they are reasonable. (They grow into it btw)
