    Do you think that it is wrong to keep birds in cages?

    Euhm, that's kinda the point, no? They fly outside and return in the evening (or stay inside if the weather doesn't suit them).

    Are you a good saver?

    I think I'm pretty good at it. My only weakness are my sons, I give them almost everything they ask for. (Not everything, lol, but too much even so, probably). For myself, I rarely buy anything new, only when I really need it. I will have one pair of shoes to wear to work, 2 pairs of pants (so I...

    Do you eat fries?

    Not often. We used to eat them only when visiting family on the other side of the country (getting some take-away for everyone, hosts included, instead of inconveniencing them with additional mouths to feed). Since a few years we have an airfryer at home and it is frequently used but certainly...

    Do you think that it is wrong to keep birds in cages?

    When I was younger, my grandfather had magpies; during the day, they were free to fly wherever they pleased (and often returned with clothespins etc. :D they are notorious thieves), in the evening, they slept in their cage. Where I live, chicken pens are covered from the top also to prevent...

    Scanning for chip on lost pets?

    I don't have a scanner and know only of vets having them. I heard the police would have them too (probably in bigger cities perhaps, can't imagine it's standard equipment for them).

    Pet Sitting

    I will be getting a dog and my grandma will dogsit for 2d a week when I'm in the office. As it will be regularly, I suppose the dog will get used to it soon enough. When my grandma will die (she's older), I won't take another dog until I retire. I would have postponed until retirement had my...

    What's the best Chrismas gift you've opened?

    In 2019 someone gifted me a named star (online thing). I was delighted. Until... I found out I wasn't the only one and it was kinda something to "reel in the next notch in his bedpost". He and I never got to that point, but... At the time of receiving, I felt very special.

    With Lyrics or Without

    No. I'm Belgian. :D "Classical music" is mostly instrumental stuff here.

    Your intro song

    A Dutch song no one here probably knows nor understands. :) Title is "same as in English" so no need for translation. Porselein - Yasmine

    With Lyrics or Without

    Mostly music with lyrics, but for a while I had the car radio almost exclusively on a station with classical (instrumental) music, which I liked also.

    dumb laws

    Same here. Even worse, a car accident can mean a criminal record.

    dumb laws

    The law has been changed in 1993, but until then, people had to have half a Euro (=~ half a dollar) in their pocket or they could be arrested for being tramps.

    How Many Books Are You Currently Reading?

    I have, but my eReader was claimed by someone "needing it more".

    How Many Books Are You Currently Reading?

    I normally will finish one book before starting the next. Exception may be if I'm reading away from home (e.g. waiting room) a book from where I am, while having another started at home.

    What breed of dog would you never want to own?

    No breeds that are known for generally being dangerous (pitbull, rottweiler). No German shepherd because I'm scared of them. :D No breeds with short snouts because they can have breathing problems from it.
