These cute kitty keychains are not toys, but are in fact a very serious defense weapon. The design has been around for years, but the technology has gotten better. They are now made of an ultra-tough plastic material that is very hard to break, which is exactly what you need should you ever have to use this device. $5 from here.

I’d love to by some, abut shipping starts at 30$.

This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants… have patience and indulgence towards the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and in between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body.

Sie sind ein wahrer Star!

Das ist die dämlichste Werbeaktion, deren Opfer ich jemals werden musste. Aber Marjam meint, die Magneten könne man anmalen und auf die Waschmaschine kleben.

Endlich hab ich Rollos für die Fenster, vorher musste ich immer ins Schlafzimmer, wenn ich fernsehen wollte. 180€ kosten die Rollos, dafür sind die total einfach zu installieren!

Sehr geil eingerichtet!
