Hello
After everybody ignored my warnings about poisining christmas cakes.
Just one last question, how do you celebrete christmas downunder "klauss + andreas_michael_stah and Oblivion (not downunder, but where ist's always warm)"?
First you could go to the beach and then have a christmas-barbecue under palmtrees?
An eucalytus tree, who is nice decorated, with some false snow, in the beginning of the summer.?
Enjoy you're choice,
and that it's warm.
Sorry
Regards
Plueschinger

We put our Christmas tree up several weeks earlier, and
Sadly all the good beach days we had, we had to work on.
We are having friends down for christmas. From NSW. We have summer holidays and Christmas holidays at once sooo....
No we do not have fake snow on our tree. Dilloh i think you should recant on your anti snow thoery. it was really humid today coooling of and raining so that cooled of a little. No we don't have a eucalytus, a fake pine.
that's a VERY weak statement. a few days ago it was 41 degrees.but where ist's always warm

Weellll, my mum is a REALLY good cook. Also, we have Doctor friend who knows heaps about this. And it is not totally true. Cinnamon has many medicinal purposes. It, Ironicly, has cancer fighting propertys. But, yes, it is true with the cheaper artificle type.[/quote]And it's because of a ingredient of cinnamon, called Cumarin, which can provoke cancer and liver damages.
The dose of Cumarin is much higher in Cassia-cinnamon, which is much cheaper than the cinnamom from Ceylon, which has only little doses of Cumarin

Forget it! Snow is awful, I'll stick to that. And thx to my prayers, still no snow in the black forest!!!
I'll work at the 24th. I'll do some cooking for my handicapped patients. They're quite fast and efficient concerning their primary hobby, that's eating, and they always like something special...
And I won't buy a christmas tree. We have one at work, but we have to hang it up at a hook, so that my patients don't throw it through the building at night

Hello
Ages ago (20 years) I was forced to work in an old people´s home, because I didn't went to the army.
And there was was guy, who had a fast electrical wheelchair.
He drove around and had an accident with the christmastree, but he was a hit-and-run-driver
He blamed us civil servants, that we don't like christmas and that we longhaired anarchists
wanted to destroy the party of the old people, what an incredible .... big lie.
We needed days to prove, that we were innocent.
Regards

Last time it snowed here it was an historical day.
Next historical day is when a tornado formed nearby - but I'm derailing now.
We don't have real trees for cristmas, at least I don't know anyone who does - it's our way to use fake pines - plastic trees. Decorated in a way resembling snow, but very symbolically - ie: white puffy things, made of metalized paper, silver-painted thingies and such... we want snow, but know we can't have it
Except on my dad's office - there we do have snow , with one air conditioning thingy per room, when we turn on all of them it... well... freezes. No kidding, nor exageration. If you leave a glass of water there, when you return it's frosted. Really cool, cold place - there the cristmas tree feels almost at home
Anyway, when cristmas comes, we blow the roof - all kinds of firecrackers going off all over the place - and worse at the coming of the new year. The noise is so loud and histerically nonstopping that afterwards it's not uncommon to find dead birds, killed by the scare (a minute of silence, please).
Just a modern development, stores decorate their biggest structures with lights, forming cristmas tree shapes with them. There's one supermarket that has a 20-30 meter high (I guess) cristmas tree "drawn" on a water tower. Pretty cool.
One fun fact about cristmass over here (for kids) is that it somewhat coincides with the start of summer vacations. So, christmass is like the festivity marking the end of the schoolyear...

Okay, my girlfriend forced me to buy a christmas tree today. Guess who had to carry it up the stairs. Guess who decorated it. Guess who got his statement for "uncreative decoration". Guess who thinks it takes too much space. Guess who suddenly wants me to buy a smaller one.
And now, guess who's eating up the tree (hint: look at my avatar pic).

It's been pretty cold here for a while, it warmed up a bit a couple months ago but the last month has been very mild (and extremely windy)
I'm going road tripping down to the south island for a dance gig for new years, 7 people in a van, should be interesting/challenging.
After that I've got a $100 car to fix up (probably 40-50 euros), 1986 suzuki swift, they go pretty hard once you rip out the dashboard and everythin else that's not strictly necessary, and up to 14 km/l is pretty economical (for a $100 car )
just heading down to the markets to buy presents. heaps cheaper than retail shops, and noone else will be buying the same stuff.

Hello
A steering-wheel and brakes are some things, which can be quit useful for a car.
Today it was horrible in the city,
in one shop you can buy a "credit note", a plastic-card for 80 Euros, and then you can go shopping for 100 Euros, each person can do it one time. So i bought this plastic card, but they forgot to take my personal things from my passport in their computer, because I directly used it to pay and there were lots of people behind me,
so I have to buy tommorrow again one of these "credit notes" and go shopping again.
Then in the end I payed 160 Euros and went shopping for 200 Euros.
A good way to save money until you have no more, at least I saved 20 percent.
