I believe there are a not to measure number of books out there that have been written, but didn't find a publisher interested in publishing it.

So so many writers out there who never got a break.

Yeah, but Swiss Chocolate is a protected term connected to a certain region. Just like Champagne (Champangne, France), Parmesan (Parma, Italy), Bourbon (USA), Cornish Pastries (UK) or Colombian Coffee.

You can't just plant a coffee tree with seeds from Colombia in your backyard and call it Colombian coffee or produce some whiskey in China and call it Bourbon. Same with Swiss chocolate. You can't produce it in Slovakia (with Slovakian rules and regulations) and call it Swiss.

There are lots of these protected designations around the world that vouch for a certain origin, quality, and often traditional production. And if the Swiss have protected the picture of the Matterhorn as a trademark, it goes for symbols just the same.

Understandable. It seems they are moving most of production from Switzerland to Eastern Europe. Which makes it not Swiss chocolate anymore.

The Matterhorn is an important Swiss landmark, which would still suggest it is Swiss made chocolate. They have to protect their brands and quality. If they allow everyone to seem like they are producing Swiss chocolate anywhere, it won't mean a thing anymore soon.

Is that even a likeness of the Matterhorn?

He means the one in the middle who sticks out a little bit ...

Your title is a bit misleading ;)

You and your husband have a serious communication problem.

As it seems from your post, you never had a real conversation about both your needs? You were "unenthusiastic" when he mentioned his fantasies years ago and now that he mentioned it again you were quiet to see how far he will take it? You never sat down and said, "that's absolutely not my thing, I don't want to do anything like it"? Your husbands fantasy isn't a bad thing. Some couples might enjoy it. Some not.

That he talked about it outside your marriage without your clear consent is not okay, but neither is you being just passive about it.

You are desperately in need of couples therapy to learn how to communicate with each other.

I think german medimops.de ships to other European countries, but I couldn't find a way to change the language on the website to anything else than german.

Sea to summit Tek Towel.

I bought mine before 2010 and used it for about 4 years constantly while I was in Asia and now still regularly. It's a smaller one and I like to use it at home for my long hair, because it soaks up a lot of moisture and dries quickly.

It still looks and feels like new after >10years.

I'm a sucker for Deuter backpacks. I had mine on the road with me for over 3 years constantly traveling and its still as good as new. It's 10 years old now and still in occasional use. A washing service once broke one of the metal struts in the back (totally their fault) and deuter send me a replacement free of charge, way out of warranty.

Bought a smaller Jack Wolfskin later and after using it a couple of times it already has a broken claps and some loose elastics.

If i ever buy a travel backpack again it will be a deuter again for sure.

Now I feel like I have to read The Shining again too.
