Help?

see there's a little line under each post saying "links to this post"? I don't think I've ever received a notion that anyone has ever linked to a post yet sometimes I know this happens. Would any of you like to help me understand this feature by clicking that line and linking? THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ps. choose any post to link to. If you're here, which you obviously are, you must find SOMETHING that you like or dislike. let me know! THANK YOU

looking for a pair of shorts that let you move freely while feeling like you're really dressed not just shortsing around?

look no further, kerber.se has two solutions for you.

solution 1 shown on model

solution 2 shown on model (and on me above)

Ladies, I have THIGHS and I like that I do. But it's often hard to find shorts that cooperate. That's why I'm happy enough about my new shorts to write a whole blog post about them. Now, time to sort laundry.

ps. you can buy kerber clothes straight from here.
ps 2. Yes top is from kerber too.

Working hard?

In my profession or perhaps just for me, in my life, working hard doesn't really work.
Instead, best results are achieved dancing in my chair, attacking work with joy and a playful mode.

All my life, throughout various educational institutions, no one ever suggested this was the most advisable way to get stuff done. So I'm putting it out here. For some jobs, this is just as true as WORKING HARD.


Thank you, Pharrell!

You have NEVER been better, you have improved my quality of life with appx. 200% with your latest BODY OF WORK. KEEP IT COMING. Also, thanks for taking the time out of a busy schedule to read this.

Happy greetings
- the end consumer

moving in two weeks

















Do Americans still eat this?
Or is it that all Americans except for new yorkers do?
I'm letting the kids try tonight.

What language is this? Dutch? So awesome, I understand it all, feel like if I invented a language, it would sound and look exactly like this.





















KOOK 6 KOPJES WATER, VOEG DE MACARONI TOE.
No problems, my loettle friendtje!


















Also LOVE the Serving Suggestion which is basically: Use a fork.















Personally, I had a shot of veggies.

Dad





















Here he is, playing hide and seek with the grandkids, for real thinking he BLENDS INTO THE LANDSCAPE with his jacket and pants. LOVE HIM TO PIECES.

Ändå skönt



Jag gillar när man snubblar över annonser som den här. Alltså sommarvackra tår vet jag inte om jag har  men nagelsvamp har jag i alla fall inte. Och inte heller är jag i närheten att tycka att meningen med livet är att ligga på en strand, så extatisk över min brist på nagelsvamp att jag känner ett okontrollerbart behov av att flärpa upp sand i ögonhöjd på folk en liten vindpust därifrån.

Tomorrow...

dad with me, a long time ago





















is the day of my dad's 70th birthday party.
Such a great day. Can't wait to celebrate him.
Love him so much.

Such a sad obit.

The world can't afford to lose people like Mott Green. "He was electrocuted while working on solar-powered machinery for cooling chocolate during overseas transport".

We need so many more people like that. And skilled electricians.

My beer commercial






















If I was in charge of making a beer commercial it would feature one tired female.

We hear her stomach growling. She sighs.  Her house is a mess, the kind of mess you have on a daily basis even if you're a tidy person because that's just life when you live with a family. We understand her whole family is sleeping.

She starts to tidy up. Picks up a magazine off the floor. Stomach growls again.

She walks to the fridge, gets a beer out. It's a Corona. Magazine and beer in hand she throws herself onto the couch.

Voice over (don't know if it's a man or woman's voice? Perhaps a plethora of voices?
No, just one voice. Likely a woman's.).

The voice says:

"We don't think it's a great idea to have a beer instead of a meal. But if you do, and we know you do, then at least treat yourself to a great one. Corona."

Ps.
Mom, if you're reading this, I will eat real food too. Just post-poning the dinner-making for myself while thinking of beer and commercials.

Ps 2. Mom, I'm a grown (ass) woman. I can do whatever I like. Getting a second beer now. With some cheese. And saltines. And a dessert of chocolate.

My great great grandmother



















Here's my great great grandmother Karin in a straw hat seated next to her sick sister Ruth back in 1905. Ruth had tuberculosis and was staying at a sanatorium. In the day, they moved the beds outdoors as I understand it. This picture is so sad and beautiful. Ruth died not too long afterwards.  Karin mourned her the rest of her life.
