      Feel better soon. Maybe a good time for some cooking experiments, not much risk of something being inedible.

          It took me two weeks to get over it, and months to fully recover.

            Oh man, Chap! I’m glad to hear you’re coming out the other side of it. I still haven’t had it that I know of—but these horror stories really harden my resolve for being cautious.

                  Thanks everybody for the kind words  😘 😘 😘 and sharing your experiences… looks like I will have to be patient. Fingers crossed Anne @sabergirl and yes take care!

                    What the actual fuck…....

                    _Twenty-five people have been arrested in raids across Germany on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the government.

                    German reports say the group of far-right and ex-military figures planned to storm the parliament building, the Reichstag, and seize power.

                    A minor aristocrat described as Prince Heinrich XIII, 71, is alleged to have been central to their plans.

                    According to federal prosecutors, he is one of two alleged ringleaders among those arrested across 11 German states.

                    The plotters are said to include members of the extremist Reichsbürger [Citizens of the Reich] movement, which has long been in the sights of German police over violent attacks and racist conspiracy theories. They also refuse to recognise the modern German state.

                    An estimated 50 men and women are alleged to have been part of the group, said to have plotted to overthrow the republic and replace it with a new state modelled on the Germany of 1871 - an empire called the Second Reich._

                        Well yes, unnecessary to say Germans can go crazy as well. The 'Reichsbuerger' scene has been known here as an extremist group for a while. Good thing is that the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Police and other prosecution institutions observed this particular group and knew about the plans. That's why they now intervened and arrested 25 people. Our democracy over here is quite stable (at the moment), but it is alarming to realise how many people full of hate and with now appreciation for the benefits of a fair and pluralistic society are out there. Democracy is not a self-runner, it has to be defended. FCKNZS

                          Got mail from London. The TfL says endomobile went through some low emission zones the days after our Gosport meeting in September. Well, photos suggest it was acutally there, however I have no idea how it got there.

                          Anyway, they - or rather their international mafia debt collecting agency called 'European parking collection' - are now asking for the humble amounts of 95,70 and 1.196,25 Euros (in case I'd pay immediately, otherwise 287,10 and 3.588,76 €).

                          I'm not money-mad, but this exceeds a little bit the range I'm used to spent without batting an eye.

                          Any suggestions? (all educated guesses and encouragements very welcome, but legal advice even more)
                          Are these fuckers able to get some money from me not living in the UK?
                          Would this be the first time Brexit will be beneficial for me?

                            That is outrageous. All I've got is hope that you won't have to pay those ridiculous amounts.

                              Unfortunately, this is not my field of legal expertise.
                              So the best I can do for you is ask a friend tomorrow, who works in that field.
                              And I have found some information from the ADAC, but it is pretty inconclusive in the end:

                                      I think they made a mistake. The ULTRA low emission fine should be the one that makes working people homeless not the other way around.

                                        I haven't been able to find anything really helpful, but EPC seem to genuinely be engaged by TFL. They seem to have a reputation for asking people to pay the same fine more than once, being hard to contact, etc. Not sure if this is extreme incompetence or sharp practice. Hope you manage to find a way out of paying at least their outrageous mark-up.

                                          First time posting in a rant here. Usually I keep my woes to myself.

                                          I am still getting used to my new one hour commute to and from work since my wife and I moved to West Virginia from Maryland. I went from a five minute commute, meaning I used to have a 50 minute commute a week which is now a 10 hour weekly commute. The drive isn't bad, in fact it has been entertaining at times. For example, today on the way home, I saw an emergency vehicle SUV smash the ever loving crap out of a wild male pheasant on alt 40 today that flew in front of his truck. It was an explosion of feathers and I saw the beautiful green, red and golden bird tumble across the middle of the road. I try not to mourn death as it is a part of all life. But it was kind of jarring to be right behind and swerve around it.

                                          My wife and I drove separately because over the past few weeks, we stop by our old house in MD to pack up our truck and car before heading home. I got home first today and found the puppies losing their minds in the barricaded area of the living room we closed off for them. They are not used to the extra couple of hours home without us. Our Christmas tree had fallen over and broken ornament glass was strewn across the hardwood floor. After I let the dogs out, I noticed that one of my Ravens ornaments that my mom gave me was one of the few that broke on the floor. Same with our Krampus tree topper that I just bought last year that I really had fallen in love with.

                                          I had to quickly vacuum the glass up before the puppies could greet my wife when she was walking in the door. As I'm sure all of you know, glass goes fecking everywhere when it falls and breaks. From there, I needed to join my wife to unload our truck and my car, both packed to the brim. When I was finished, I needed to move my car and ended up running over our knife magnet that had fallen out of my passenger side door that I did not notice. The screws were still in it and I ran over it, resulting one screw and metal knife holder lodging into a tire as I drove up the driveway. Just as the sun had set, I then needed to change the tire to the spare from the trunk in the dark.

                                          Now I'm deciding whether or not to put in for a substitute teacher for tomorrow. The weather report for this area is calling for 1-3 inches of snow in the morning and a coating of freezing rain ice, with 5-8 inches in some spots. The forecast for Maryland where I teach is only calling for a bit of snow and mostly rain, so the schools will likely be open. Driving an hour in the dark on windy, unfamiliar WV backroads at 6am in the snow is not what I want to be doing one day before winter break.

                                          My wife and I are both super stressed out and a bit on edge. I just needed to type it out and if you read any of this, thanks. I don't have any friends to talk to in person anymore (long story) and I don't have that many folks to talk to.
