Sooo true. Especially since my hearth is a pain, it will sometimes give mesmall shocks when I touch the sink simultaniously.

OMG that would scare me so much. the electricity really needs to be looked at. and i bet there's nothing they would do. :( the whole building probably needs to be re-wired. heh. i have to admit. when i started doing a little research on different areas of europe, the cost of living is AWFUL. worse than united states. and the HOUSING! sure they're beautiful. but my goodness. small. expensive. teeny bathrooms. kitchens SO small. smaller than new york apartments! and with Nothing in them.

i could never afford to live in a place i would want to.

LOL <---at stupid American.

grin :D

We have looked but funny thing is, there is no electricity on the hearth that would trigger the shocks. My beloved's dad did measure the voltage but it should up as zero, so we know the hearth isn't charged. It probably does need rewiring tho, I think. That's why my girlfriend does the cooking most of the time.^^

True, most kitchens are tiny! In ours we barely fit in together.

, (good excuse to get the girl friend to cook. hahahaa :D) man. i know nothing about electricity. good thing your dad had a chance to look at it.

heh. i'm surprised the 2 of you can fit in there at all together! lol of course. i don't know the reality. the closest i've ever gotten is by pictures. or, lol, "House Hunters International"

lol it makes me want to smack the Americans that go over there, and think they're going to get "american sized and american convenience" in Europe! geeze. didn't they do any actual research to where they were going?

heh.

She comes after her dad, hercooking is marvelous :3

Well, there are tinier kitchens than ours, so it's alright.

Probably they didn't. I bet they also complain that A/C isn't very common here ^^

YES! I've heard them make comments about no air! lol

but geeze. i have no room to talk! LOL MY OWN DAUGHTER is such a spoiled american! when we moved, we didn't take the microwave with us (old. VERY Old and barely working. gave it to the son) The daughter came to visit, and she did nothing but complain how "there's no microwave! how can you live without a microwave!"

(heh. it Was difficult. hehehe)

and ooooo, LUCKY! (on your sweetie knowing how to cook) I'm going to move next door to , just so I'll have someone to cook for me.

lol

ok. my lunch time. i'm off for a while.

AAAHHH! i've actually had to do quests, just so i can get some token. blast it.

I mean we have a microwave too, but I try to not rely on it too much ^^

Also should you need something from the New Years shop let me know :) And enjoy your lunch :3

lol, Your sincerity is exactly why your words pull at the heart so, Dearest Love. You are the best Brother, Best Friend and Prince an Empress could have, truly. I wish for nothing more. (Except to be a successful Fashion Designer, Writer and to have an Empire, lol, but that is all second to my love for thee <3)

Ooh, and now you are of the Frost Lupine variety. Such a glorious and fluffy tail~

My HA is soo full of CWs right now, lol

ANd yeah, I love this colour on foxes <3 So lucky I got this butt. I think it's the only CW but I have.

lol, And I happened to buy a few pretties from the Cash Shop. Ooh, Fox fur! This shawl of mine is Faux Fox fur <3 I couldn't hurt a beautiful fox <3 lol, Furry butt :P

The CS does have some awesome items _ Especially the Delish sets

That is certainly true--I played with one of the Experimental bird wigs from the CS in the wardrobe and ended up buying it (The bird of paradise one works well with black) and I nabbed an item from one of the Delish sets that is about to be retired <3

Speaking of which....we need more opportunities to show off our fabulous outfits. I wonder if I should the Blood and Chocolate Ball during the Pandemic again, or push it to the Masquerade. Ooh! I still haven't made a Masquerade Ball dedicated to the Seven Deadly Sins. :P

I will, they sound like something I'd watch too. That's probably what you should do, buy them and watch them anytime. I can't see myself paying $3 for movies and tv shows that I may not watch all the time.

Yay for no cooking! My dad made a big pot of stew yesterday, so we'll be having that for left overs today :)

Oh which item was it that you got from the almost retired delish set? You have been talking about doing a Deadly Sins ball for awhile now.

The Blood and Chocolate Vall is a tradition. I demand we have it :3

It was the Delish Naive jacket. It was so cute and pink ^_^ The thing is, Both Balls will require me to go full out--Dramatic Invitations with well dressed Butlers and Maids, TONS of cheesecake, a Big entrance, and OOH! a fabulous contest with wonderous prizes. Hm.........February is only 4 weeks away. UNLESS I save myself from the horrors of looking at Pandemic diseases and push Blood and Chocolate to the Masquerade. Although the love theme won't really apply by then. Regal thinking mode

lol, and I did deny everyone the annual Ball Last Year XD So you're saying I ought to through BOTH Soirees this year as recompense? :P

Why yes my dear cousin! Of course you should do.

Oh, My. How can I deny my Beautiful and Enchanting Lady Cousin a Ball? That simply won't do. How about I push the Blood and Chocolate Ball to the Steamworks Masquerade? (Queen Witchy has been trying to convince me to do that for at least 2 years XD) Plus, this way, most of us are collected into one dancing area <3 Although the Pandemic has less lag XD

Havong some fun to do during Pandemic is awesome as well. Maybe you push the ball to Masq and come up with something new? Some banquet thing for example?

Hm, I could do that. But when should the Banquet be? During Pandemic then? Also....how will we convince Lady Love and Tea not eat people with a title like "Banquet"? :P

Yes during Pandemic. And we shall simply provide Lady Love and Lady Tea with convicted criminals, thus solcing the problem.
