Re: German word of the day
Another German word of the day: Let's assume the German government wants to introduce an electronic way to declare your taxes, as in "Elektronische Steuererklärung" ("electronic tax declaration"). And they want a nice "catchy" phrase for that... What would be a nice ca...

Sometimes you have to start off small, and grow from there.
Gilching sounds like a good idea to me as I can get there fairly easily!

Re: What are you watching right now?
I am currently watching dark clouds scudding across the sky, with the occasional blitz of lightning, and accompanied by regular rolls of thunder.
Glad to be indoors looking out!

Nobody looked like I imagined them to be. Metall took this photo with my camera, that's why she is not in the picture, and for privacy reasons, I obliterated other people's faces...

Re: Lost passport about to travel...
Wow!!! What a good idea!!!LukeSkywalker wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2024 7:49 pm I‘m lucky. The Dutch embassy from Berlin sends staff to Munich twice a year to have a pop-up consulate for 3-4 days. You can make an appointment for a new passport. The passport is then send by registered mail.
Such a pity other nations don´t offer such a service!

Re: Money-saving tipps
I think an important one is convincing the wife and daughter they do not need to boil one liter of water in the kettle to make a cup of tea. So far I've have failed. - have you thought of offering to make the tea yourself? Your other half and little one would be happy to have tea made for them, and...

Re: Money-saving tipps
Just to revive this thread - I have been thinking for some time about a garden shower for in summer. Looking around, there are quite a lot of camping shower sets available on Amazon, etc, but I was thinking of a not-so-portable one, where I fix a hosepipe to a tap on the first floor, and fill it wit...

Re: Money-saving tipps
I'm all for saving a few cents and being green but some of this stuff seems extremely anal to me. What for one person may seem "anal" is for another person quite useful! Okay, so you live in a flat in the city, so maybe for you, it would be a good idea to either install a low-flush toilet...

Agree with Panda, but also, do not water from above - they don´t seem to like getting their leaves wet.

Re: Money-saving tipps
it can be used to water plants, make tea or even to flush the toilet How much water does it take to wash the can so that you can use it for tea water? None!

Re: Gymnasium 8th grade voluntary Wiederholung
Just wondering if there is another Gymnasium in your area? If so, would it be an option for your child to go there, into the 8th grade? In my experience, there are Gymnasiums that care about the child developing into a happy, normal person, and there are those who are only interested in how the chil...
