| This reminds me of how much I loved to take apart old mechanical alarm clocks when I was a kid, to play with the cogwheels, letting them spin... Those old clocks contained a great variety of them, of differing sizes and shapes, which were really beautiful to me. |

| I very much agree with Keni and benh72. You should seek help. There is no hard and fast rule about how low your BMI needs to be to become dangerously low. It depends on the body build, and also on how quickly weight was lost, for example. You are having symptoms that look like there are related to m... |

| ... we use prepared smashed potatoes, because I dont want to wait 45 minutes until the potatoes are boiled, when I come home hungry at 19:00 in the evening. ^^ A good trick is to cut the potatoes into slices before boiling, that really speeds up the process. Still, making mashed potatoes is a rathe... |

| Here in Germany at least there is a lot of ready-made stuff in the supermarket, only needs to be heated in the microwave, but it's typically poor quality and tastes like poor quality, too. The stuff they try to sell as food here... Like "Analogkäse", that's a mixture of whey protein with fats from o... |

Looked quite real at first sight, with the official symbols of the company and everything, but if you read a bit further the German wasn't quite perfect. Official written German is hard to get right if you're not a native speaker and have had training i... |

| Hi, I just happen to be Belgian, but haven't lived there for several years now. I would advice you to contact the museum. If they do internships, then they should be able to give information about housing and administration. Ypres (Ieper in Flemish) is quite a small town, and which doesn't have a Un... |

Otherwise my concentration problems are not so much of an issue, ... |

| The absolute worst years were 9th and 10th grade, due to relentless bullying. This then strangely stopped at the end of 10th grade, never known why but much relieved, so all that came after it was much more bearable. I still was way behind in social and emotional development compared to my classmate... |

Easier said than done, though. :roll: Some people just seem to sleep naturally in two phases. I often get th... |

From another Belgian: Welcome!
Although I'm now not living there anymore. After some job changes, I'm now in the north-west of Germany, and I'm not likely to return to my country of birth anytime soon. Brussels is an interesting place though. |
