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.

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?

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.

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

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.
