Haha, just like my grandmother used to say! 🤣

HarleyFatboy (FrankZabba) is such a boomer!

Despite pretending he's in his forties, he sounds like a grumpy granddad!

Why were all the girls wearing bikinis at the pool?...

Even Gelia was covered!...

Actually, I'm wondering if they will stay until en of month and leave with Kaya

 They might be waiting so they can get a place with  all three of them It'd be the smartest cheapest way to go about it

C'est de la superstition.

Mais non, ce n'est pas une superstition , dans mon pays nous sommes une île entourée d'eau avec des plages partout

et nous avons de nombreux décès avec des gens qui font des hydrocutions car ils viennent de dejeuner

et vont de suite se baigner pour se rafraichir et c'est l'accident

Note sure she's packing but just taking or putting away some clothes...

I guess she is still looking for an apartment in or near Barcelona, maybe with Liora or alone... or perhaps as Kaya is supposed to leave at the end of month with Kaya and Liora as roommates 😉 

Actually, I'm wondering if they will stay until en of month and leave with Kaya 😛 

I believe that too.

Who says they wouldn't have drowned had they not eaten?

I grew up on the North Sea coast. I went to swim countless times just after eating, and I'm still alive! And I'm not even a good swimmer! (I am a good floater though, and not likely to panic).

I never even experienced anything weird or strange while swimming after eating, and never had the feeling that swimming was more difficult just after having dinner.

I looked it up. Google AI, but with sources:

 

Swimming right after eating is perfectly safe and is considered a medical myth. Major health organizations like the American Red Cross and the International Life Saving Federation have reviewed the evidence and found zero connection between eating before a swim and an increased risk of drowning. [1, 2, 3, 4]

 

Where the Myth Came From

The "30-minute rule" has been around since at least 1908, when it was published in an early Boy Scout handbook. The old theory suggested that after eating, your body diverts blood to your stomach to aid in digestion. People believed this left your arms and legs starved of oxygen and blood flow, resulting in paralyzing muscle cramps that could pull you under. [1, 2, 3]

 

The Medical Reality

• Ample Blood Supply: While your body does direct extra blood to your digestive tract after a meal, it does not take away enough to impair your muscles. Your body has more than enough oxygen and blood flow to handle both digestion and movement simultaneously. [1, 2, 3]
• True Causes of Cramps: Severe muscle cramps are actually triggered by dehydration, overexertion, or electrolyte imbalances—not a full stomach. [1, 2]
• The Real Danger: Studies show that the real risk factor in the water is alcohol consumption, which impairs coordination and dramatically increases drowning risks. [1, 2]

 

When You Might Want to Wait

While it is not dangerous, swimming vigorously on a full stomach can be uncomfortable. [1, 2]

• Light splashing or wading: No need to wait at all; you can jump right back into the pool. [1, 2]
• Vigorous lap swimming or training: If you just ate a heavy, fatty meal, intense exercise can cause mild nausea, reflux, or a stomach stitch. If you plan to do a heavy workout, waiting 60 to 90 minutes will simply keep your stomach more comfortable. [1, 2, 3, 4]
• Fueling up: Endurance swimmers actually eat during long swims to keep their energy up. Eating light carbs like bananas or toast before a standard swim workout provides excellent fuel. [1, 2, 3]

And you "know" that how, exactly?... 😏

The only place Lev is at is on VHTV ...and isn't it funny since Lev went all nuclear on Vanya and then split with Nikol things have happened. Vanya in B5 ...B5 dropped from the list, Vanya moved to B7 ...B7 dropped from the list. RLC cams in Lev's apart on VHTV can still be seen and some are being used. Did Xlife owe him money at the time of his 'presumed sacking' so he kept the cams and is on the warpath ...who fucking knows.

Bloody hell, RLC has gotten boring

But it's okay for Lev to hit Vanya?
