go for it!
don't forget about 'Schwenkbraten' though (South West specialty!

Interesting, I am from southwest Germany (around Stuttgart) but have never heard of Schwenkbraten before, which area specifically are you referring to?

My coworker just stopped in with her kids, a son and twin daughters. So cute. That just brightened my day.

That's not west, Liebchen.....
Saarland, West-Pfalz!

I can't believe it is still as chilly as it is here today. I mean, I know this is upstate NY, but this is ridiculous.

I just scrolled down a little further than the Locker Room board and saw the Political Discussions and Debate is basically gone. I am guessing things got too heated and negative to bother keeping it?

I think it got nixed when Bob sold the place.

$26 in my hand

*Who will get the lyrical reference?

hmmm.... who could it be.....who could it be, I just don't know. Could it be. LOU REED!!!!

Oh just so you know.. .Lou was a Chen Taiji guy Had a rather good and highly skilled teacher too (Ren Guangyi).

You know, I am beginning to believe that when a child reaches a certain level of expertise at the piano that piano teachers are required to become sadistic. Don't see in in violin or viola or cello teachers...didn't even see it in guitar teachers and never heard of it with percussion teachers...but I have seen it in piano teachers twice and I have heard about it form many others. And this level at which they become sadistic is arbitrary and based solely on the individual piano teacher.

South-West.
As south as you can get on that side of the Rhine, Zuckerschneckchen.

Sadistic how?

 

[Xue Sheng]

Sadistic how?

could be verbally or psychologically

 

[wingchun100]

could be verbally or psychologically

Oh, I thought you had examples. LOL

Why would they do that? Seems like they are cutting their livelihood off at the knees if the kid tells the parents that their teacher has become an A-hole.

 

[wingchun100]

No matter how early you get out, the last hour of the day always crawls.

This is especially frustrating if you worked only a one-hour day!

 

[wingchun100]

18 minutes to go!

Admins locked the the Think Lighter thread.....now we may never know who the Bulletproof monk actually was.

Nope. We killed it around the 2012 election, as I recall. Things got way, way too heated, too many members were on thin ice over political discussion and it just plain wasn't fun. When Forum Foundry bought the site, they had dedicated politics forums and we began referring all political discussion there.
