@Klex @jensclasen Hi! Das mit dem Stehlen ist die Version, mit der ich aufgewachsen bin. Das mit dem Verfangen habe ich später auch gehört. Auf alle Fälle ist das gute Laken weg und ja, kein guter Anfang für das neue Jahr! Danke für die Antwort!😁

50 und entsprechend grantig, but enthusiastic when it comes to threats to democracy from a certain backward movement
@stux I still think so!😁
@stux And now think of all the bikes and e-scooters with in there, too...🤦♀️ Yes, sometimes I'm really frightened!
@birx Da fällt mir nur ein: ''Es gibt nichts Gutes, außer man(frau) tut es!'' In dem Sinne: Gute Weihnachten!🎄
Sheril KirshenbaumFor thousands of years, fermenting beer was considered a household task for #women.
By the Middle Ages, some sold beer at English markets. Female brewers wore tall, pointy hats to be easily spotted. They stood by cauldrons & often had cats to keep mice away.
Sound familiar? It should.
You see, when male brewers felt threatened, they accused the women of witchcraft. These rumors may have led to some witch iconography we still recognize today.

@Sheril How nice the world could be if men weren't always frightened of women🙄🙄🙄 But thanks for the information!👍
@doodlebrink Oh nein! Dann komm zu Mama! Ich strick dir gleich ein neues Söckchen!🧶
Jens ClasenThe German phrase "zwischen den Jahren" ("between the years") refers to the days between Christmas Eve and New Year's Day or - depending on who you ask - the 6th of January (Epiphany).
So, if your German friends don't answer the phone or open the door during that period, please remember:
They are spending their holidays in a non-existing time-slot between 2 consecutive years.
Enjoy our language!
@jensclasen And we aren't allowed to do our laundry and dry it on the clothesline during these days. The ghosts, freed because of the changing years, may come and steal them... 👻
@Em0nM4stodon Maybe I'm a bit pessimistic here, but then we need better human beings with better manners, too. But for a time, it'll work... I think🙃
