Shieldtoad,

My previous house had 2 mailboxes. One at the street and an unused one in the wall next to the front door.
I noticed my cats suddenly became very interested in the one in the wall, so I decided to take a look. It turned out a tit was building a nest in it.
I found some pictures but they aren’t very good quality. I never wanted to disturb the birds too much and I had to watch out for my cats whenever I took a look inside.

Shieldtoad,

My one cat always tries to steal my marmalade and bread. His favorite food is shrimps.

Shieldtoad,

I have no reason to mock american healthcare. Sure, here in Belgium I can afford to see a doctor, but I don’t know if I can find one.
My previous doctor retired and all the other doctors in the area have a patient stop. They will only give you an appointment if you already are a known patient. I can only hope one of them is willing to take me the next time I’m sick.
My dentist has so much work he doesn’t answer his phone and doesn’t has an online method to make appointments. You have to plan your next appointment when you visit him and his agenda is usually booked for the next 6 months.

Shieldtoad,

I think it’s mainly because there is a limitation of the amount of students who can start the education. Every year the government holds entry exams and only the best 1600 can start the studies. Somewhere in their studies they have to choose their specialisation (heart, children, oncology,…) And as far as I know only a small part of them is interested to become a ‘housedoctor’ ( the type of doctor we have to visit when we have something like a flu)

Shieldtoad,

At least my doctor notified his patients that he was going to retired. I have a collegue who found out his doctor retired when he got ill.

Shieldtoad,

I have one in my car because it’s required by law (Belgium). I don’t have one in my house and I don’t know anyone who does.
I do have multiple smoke detectors and carbonmonoxide detectors. The smoke detectors are required by law but there are still people who don’t have them. Last night a family of 6 died in a fire and they apparently didn’t have smoke detectors.

Shieldtoad,

It said favorite dream, not worst nightmare.

Shieldtoad,

Composers be like here is a weird whistle to blow and the percussion gang has to do it.

Shieldtoad,

I blocked those bots.

Shieldtoad,

I have just spent my free afternoon napping on the couch with my cats instead of doing all the things I had to do.

Shieldtoad,

I know that place. The borders between the Ellestraat (Hulst, NL) and the Hellestraat (Stekene, BE).

The right side of the street on the Belgian part is actually Dutch for a few 100 meters. If you look around on street view the part with a bicycle lane is Belgian, the part without it is Dutch.

Gettin real goddamn tired of dogs

I like dogs like I like toddlers. It’s fun to hang out with other people’s for a while, but ultimately they’re annoying, loud, and make a mess. I feel like in the past 10 years or so, dog owners have become increasingly convinced that everyone thinks their slobbering, untrained mutt is god’s gift to everyone, and expects...

Shieldtoad,

It got a lot worse since covid. A lot of people who shouldn’t have dogs got dogs during the lockdowns.

Before covid most people in the forest I go to were regulars. By looking around the parking lot I knew who was there. There was only one person with 2 untrained & unleashed dogs who would come there daily. He always did the same tour, so if I saw his car I’d go the same tour to avoid him.

Now it’s completely different. I never see those regulars again, except for that one person who still goes the same tour. Everytime I go there I come across different people. The one thing they have in common is that they leave their dogs unleashed and their dogs don’t listen.

I really miss the calm walks I could have in that forest. If I went for a walk during noon or in bad weather, I would usually be the only person around. Now I can’t remember the last time I didn’t come across an untrained dog during my walk.

Shieldtoad,

My cat likes to rub his head on everything I show him.

Shieldtoad,

I would fall down the stairs and then apologize and give the cat treats because I hurt it.

Shieldtoad,

Loving Reaper by Jenny Jinya.

Shieldtoad,

I believe it is ooh eeh ooh aah aah ting tang wallawalla bang bang.

Shieldtoad,

Thanks OP for pre-heating Bandit’s seat.

Shieldtoad,

Tires. Never cheap out on tires.

Shieldtoad,

Get a cat and wake up with a butthole in your face.

Shieldtoad,

When I was a kid, my grandma lived in a rooftop apartment on the 12th floor with a big balcony. During the summer break my siblings and I would go to her when our mom had to work. She put an inflatable pool on the balcony for us. One day I was playing with a beach ball in the pool and tried to push it under the water. I let it go and it shot up and over the edge of the balcony. I somehow got away with it by blaming it on my little brother.

Shieldtoad,

When Americans make Mac and cheese does it usually only contain macaroni and cheese? Or do they add other things?

Here in Belgium we call it macaroni with ham and cheese because we put pieces of ham in it.

Shieldtoad,

Is that Lopunny having a shower behind you?

Shieldtoad,

Girls put their wallet in their purse. It’s already impossible to find it if a woman asks you to take her wallet out of her purse. There is no way you will get that wallet unnoticed.

Shieldtoad,

Hey OP, you are now breathing manually. And you have to blink your eyes.

Shieldtoad,

Yes it does

Shieldtoad,

I have hurt my neck more than once by sneezing too hard.

Shieldtoad,

Khajiit stole nothing. Khajiit is innocent of this crime.

Shieldtoad,

Just put a vuvuzela in the exhaust pipe.

Shieldtoad,

Dirty pits. I work as a mechanic on busses and try to keep my pit clean. If the work I’m doing makes a lot of sand fall down, I sweep it aside so I don’t walk through it. If the bus has a leak, I put something beneath it to catch the oil/coolant/fuel until I get to fix it.

Most of the coworkers don’t care and their pit is a mess. They ask for help with something and you have to navigate through puddles and sand piles to get to them.

They also don’t put the shared equipment back on its right place so you waste a lot of time trying to find it.

Shieldtoad,

In my dreams the toilets have those ridiculously low dividing walls

Shieldtoad,

Tip for the people who don’t like waffles: go to Belgium and visit a ‘wafelhuis’. Order a Liège or Brussels waffle with a good topping like powdered sugar, whipped cream or chocolate sauce.
Just beware that you go to a proper place and not a tourist scam saloon. If it has stupid toppings like m&m’s or Nutella go to a different place (proper chocolate sauce>>>>Nutella). If it advertises Belgian waffles instead of Liège waffles and/or Brussels waffles go away.
If you ate some Liège and Brussels waffles and still don’t like them, you are a lost cause.

Shieldtoad,

Shieldtoad likes turtles. Turtle = schildpad = schild + pad = shield + toad = Shieldtoad

Shieldtoad,

Go to settings. Then pick ‘username’ settings (for you it will say snowraven settings). Then scroll down to default listing type and you can choose between all, local or subscribed.
