Child labor was half assed abolished around that time in the Netherlands, but at 12 your ass was still kicked into factory labor, farms or the mines here in South Limburg.

Wooden shoes…must be a Dutch boy.

He was casual about it too as if it was a normal thing to do.

Being ill. We where invited for a dinner for the first time at my best friends mom tonight, but only my wife can go. It sucks.

I got some bad stomach inflammation that hurts like a mf. Also I have new medication for my asthma that has side effects, so great combination.

It’s always nice to see folks making people happy. Have a good one (Sheik) Yerbouti. ;)

Yeah, TIL.

Is that budget Burt Reynolds?

I looked that album up…jfc

Mr. Tit

Ah I see what you mean now.

My catholic grandma from my mothers side had 14 kids, my protestant grandma from my dads side 7. I have a huge family, my girlfriend’s family is jewish, and if you would bring them all together there will be some in a hospital lateron because a lot of them hate each other with a passion and not only for their religion.

It’s complicated. My mom is horrible and violent, my dad and his girlfriend alcoholics, my girlfriends father a raging racist, and her mom died when she was only 16 and she lost contact.

So it would be a few dear and close friends. Nobody else, certainly not any family would ever know.

Cool white beards.

Hihih, she would like that, she is from Portuguese descent and will hit them with the comfy chair.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

You are right, it wouldn’t add anything really to our relationship, being married has some minor benifits though and in our town we can do it for free.

The thing is I don’t have a drivers license, but thanks for the suggestion.

I certainly did before. I pick out dresses or other clothing…I actually like shopping for clothes for her.

Rings need to fit so she needs to try them first. Also the rings I bought her before, even antique ones she does not wear anymore.

She does wear cheap necklaces and come to think of it, she has and does like tattoos.

We already call eachother husband and wife often. I guess it is not that important to us, but we joke sometimes about who will kneel first. Maybe we could make it something fun. It would be just a few people around though, nothing fancy.

I believe you are right.

The thing is my girlfriend needs to drive anywhere and she has a demanding job, a spontaneous weekend trip is difficult. So best thing would be to plan a few weeks off around our anniversary. I think that is possible.

Classic. Ben Sidran (See you on the other side) produced it, he was in the Steve Miller band. Nice when a record company’s fuck you over twice, Pena’s second album came out almost 3 decades after recording it. He did make some money on the royalties of Jet Airliner though.
