A new business. With bonus material and bloopers and all. And you're right, I changed the title. Bit too presumptious. But if you want to find out more, got to learn Dutch first. Coz I tried in English, i really did, and it's just too much struggle. And hey i am lot smarter and wittier in my own language. So what i'll do; i'll just give it a go and juice it up with some Dutch whenever i am stuck. K?

Other blogs

I could easily spend a couple hours stumbling thru other blogs.
Ever tried the 'next blog' button?
You get all sorts of people rambling about their lives from attorneys writing about arrests and other stuff nobody is interested in, till adds for car insurances or so and then this add is posted for a zillion times. Don't see the reason behind that, but then i spend half of the morning trying to upload a picture w/o results, so maybe it's something like that.

Or people just adding squares instead of text. Can't even find those things on the keyboard. Why? What does it mean ?

A lot of recipies too. And what pisses me off then is that they're in spanish or malaysian or something.
I try too!
Get a hold of yourself and share it in English.

Or onbegrijpelijke (haha) popups like StEp InTo My stArLe wOrld and I can't get out of those anymore.
And I guess i am just too old for "we absolutely hate that 'lorry'.finally took a gd look at him during geog tutorial.wa kaaaos.pls larhhhh.i bet no one would want to have a 2nd look at him.not being nasty here.but he's just so darn insulting.girls ain't stocks okaaayy."

Then there are the philosophical ones or those who from time to time post a poem or "just a thought" *sigh*

A. asked me today if it was ok if she put a link on her blog to mine.
I bet some of her friends freak out if they find out her hostmom (and god forbid theirs!) know what they are sharing with the world here.

Damn, there's just no escaping big brother.

Balldrick: I have a cunning plan

We went to see the Salvador Dali exhibition in the new Boijmans van Beuningen museum yesterday. Bit of a challenge, with 4 adults and 6 children under 10 yrs of age. We had a good time though and were kind of proud of ourselves the kids got to see "Art" & "Culture" at such a young age.
It's a good exhibition. Not only about his paintings, but also theatre, movies, clothes, offcourse the famous "lipcouch" (after Mae West we learned), perfumes, the shoehats etc. And a nice side-effect; we got extra tickets (free, which allways interests us Dutch)for the coming summer period. Great !

Had a drink, apple pie and bitterballen at het Westerpaviljoen and by the time we got home, R. and M. went of to Ikea (urgent advice; don't ever try this on second Easterday when everyone is free) to get the last 4 (!) closets.

T. and the kids will be off for Rumania by the end of the week and daar balen we flink van. Especially because the children adore their niece and nephews. But hey, we'll see them this September when the baby is born. Mustnot forget to tell A. about my cunning plan.

You're on a need-to-know basis

About this new business I mean. I've been thinking about what to write about it and if you look up the link you'll see the basics. I may be paranoia but it's difficult to decide when the right time has come to reveal this billion dollar success. Duhh :)

So.. after last Tuesdays demonstration from P. i've spent most of my eerste Paasdag (i should ask A. coz we have 2 christmas days, do you have 1 easterday too? Anyway we've got 2 of them) getting myself RSI from testing it and then signing in under a different name and trying out all things that could go wrong and writing down all sorts of witty texts and stealing from other sites. And still.... i've only done one quarter or so.

Tomorrow we've got a full house;T. and the kids (6 in total) + 2 big dogs + my mother and opa + toos + the 6 of us, makes too small a house if we have the same rain as today. What on earth are we going to do the whole day?
