I’ll go to Belgium next Friday and we’re planning to go to Thollen’s beach (The Netherlands) on Saturday to catch some crabs.
1. I prepared my tools: a nest, a tea filter (metal) and some kind of a “rope”. The tea filter will be used to hold and to protect my bait (raw meat) and it will also add extra weight to the nest around which the crabs will be trapped.
2. I watched a video on Youtube

I was shop seeing at my usual mall when, suddenly, I heard screams and I saw a man insulting and running after a black dude! Then the black guy speed up and dropped all his bags, he was desperately trying to escape but he was caught by the security guards. He was stealing and running away.
The scene was so unreal and, because of the terrorist events, everyone expected something weird to happen!

What if I get a decent amount of money? What will I do first? Maybe a cruise because it has been on my TO-DO list to try that. However, I would prefer to have a boat with internet!

I enjoyed this book, Battlemage.
I did not enjoy “Miss Peregrine’s home for peculiar children” but I could not stop reading the book.
and I stopped reading over and over my old collection of books (Isaak Asimov and David Eddings’ books).

This is what I thought for quite some times now. The endurance sports are the most effective weapons against time. They are quite painful but they are really good for the whole body! It is not only that, I do feel really good after a long 8 miles run (10 km). The feeling is so intense that once you do experience this feeling: the pain and the intense good feeling at the end, you will never stop. It is like a drug and you just keep running!

I had undergone 5 “body section radiographies” since 2014: my teeth, my left foot and my liver and I never sent back the part that I had to pay myself. I just realized that from my last radiography that cost 106 Euros and I had to pay 46 Euros from my pocket. I sent them all to my private health insurance and I got all of them reimbursed: 147 Euros!

I sent the proof from the Toyota garage showing the “time spent” by the technician who was supposed to check my car: 10 mins. The email was not only sent to the insurance company but also to the company that was supposed to check my car.
I asked a simple question to the insurance: How much does the insurance have to pay the other company for “10 min” of presence instead of a “real expertise work”?
The insurance had to agree to let me choose another company to check my car and they will reimburse the cost of the expertise: 150 Euros. It takes time and determination to do things the way you want.

It felt so damn good to loose your temper and to let it flow like a torrent through your mind.
Toyota at 8:46 am
I was very angry at the stupid technician who was supposed to check my car and who just left after 10 min without waiting for me. I unleashed my anger at the Toyota garage. I blocked the whole customer service and I let my words hit the stupid man who let that happened. I ordered him to write down on a paper the arrival and the departure time of the technician and I asked him to sign the stupid piece of paper.
Leroy-Merlin at: 10:25 am
I went to buy special screws at “Leroy-Merlin” and the stupid vendor made the mistake to say “The screws are still packed in the boxes. Come back another day!”
I went and requested to talk to the store manager, I asked him if it was possible to check for my screws now because it was the second day and the second time that I was told the same excuse. The manager had to call the vendor and then the manager had to go and to check the boxes by himself.
I immediately asked for free shipping when he could not do better than the vendor. The manager offered to give them to me for free. I requested him to write down on a paper the free offer and to sign it because I do not want to have to explain myself again. I read his paper and I told him I wanted 3 of them for FREE not one :)! The person at the desk and the vendor did not believe how daring I was but I got what I wanted!
