Ninja,

Wonder it that will work with my mother-in-law's cat? I'll have to send this to her.

Edit: We'll just have to train my mother-in-law to leave the seat up! 😀

Actually it's seat down so no training for the MIL. Great time to NOT make a typo. 😀

Did you notice you have a sibling? (at least in terms of your avatar...) 😀

For a moment I was confused (more than usual)

I do! But not for myself. Yet. :w00t:
My baby girl is on potty training. She pees everywhere but in the potty. She seems to like carpets best.
Why don't you put a piece of a carpet on the potty then? 😀
Could easily be a market niche: carpet paved potty! NOW ON SALE!

Now THAT is a GREAT idea!

I'll tell my wife. 😉

I agree, for some stuff live is not really expensive over here. I'm not sure about cars though (less in Denmark or re-import from France, for instance). Or electronics (I used to buy my music CD's in the U.S., but that was more than a decade ago :crying: ). But we have to go to Belgium to get excellent chocolate! (or to Switzerland as an alternative...) 😀
And no, I personally don't need diapers. Yet. 😛

Not only excellent chocolate, also excellent beers 😉

And I do need the diapers, just not for myself 🙂

(I just found out I can order diapers from the German Amazon. Interesting...)

I guess we need to agree to disagree regarding the beer part... 😎

I think I agree with Lutz! 😎

I seem to recall finding a Belgian beer that was merely bad (not supremely awful) once. Although it was a great relief :unsure: at the time I can't now remember what it was called. The other beers I had drunk there combined the worst characteristics of German Hellesbier and British lager.

Actually, if there were a world competition for the worst beers, no European country would come top - the worst European beers are comfortably outclassed for awfulness by many American and (if one can judge by the stuff exported from Oz to satisy the Australian expat community in London back in the 60s and 70s :unsure:) Australian beers. Even Belgium, Britain, Germany and France would be far behind in such a competition (although these four might come joint first in Europe).

But it gets very confusing - in Europe there are at least three countries which make some really awful :sick: beer, while these same three countries also make some really excellent 🙂 beer. Maybe Belgium is a fourth?

Interesting. But since I actually got mine off of a very old post here on an account with no activity for years, I guess I can't complain too much. Now about a year ago, someone "borrowed" Jeff's.

But for some reason, all the Belgian beers keep winning international prizes 🙂

(but I admit, there are surely a lot of awful Belgian beers)

If you do try a Belgian beer once more, try one of the trappisten.

And make sure it is server as it should be server, it matters a lot in the taste.

(my lack of knowledge of beers from other countries is largely due to the fact I always drink wine on holidays :-))

Methinks you've got work on your brain. But then I'm the opposite: always thinking of beer whilst at work. 😉

I don't drink very often and won't for awhile. I want to lose 37 lbs by Thanksgiving (American). It is funny though, sometimes I feel like having a beer and it tastes great. Other times I'm more on the fence about wanting one and the same brand of beer doesn't taste good at all.
