A Germany Court Ruling has made it legal for bosses to regulate whether or not their female employees must wear bras. The regulations made by the court also allow business to mandate fingernail length as well as both head and facial hair grooming.
Germany women bras court ruling:
The verdict is in and a German court has ruled that is allowable for a business to mandate whether their female employees must wear bras to work or not. The court decided this week that it was not a infringement upon personal rights for a boss to require employees to wear bras, keep their fingernails clipped to certain lengths, or keep beards a certain length.
“Being told to wear a bra and to keep fingernails to shorter than half-a-centimetre does not impinge on personal rights,” ruled the court in Cologne. “It is not a disproportionate impairment of personal rights.”
The fact that this went to court seems foolish to me. If you don’t want to wear a bra or cut your fingernails you don’t have to. But at the same time I don’t think the employer has to keep you employed. If you don’t want to dress appropriately for the position you are in then you don’t get to keep the job. My work has a no flip flop policy. If I want to wear flips flops I do it at home or away from work, why because I work in a business setting and flip flops are inappropriately attire. I salute the German court for making a smart decision. Dress code should be applied by the company not the employees. If you don’t want to follow it find a different job.
Same goes for fingernail and beard length. In fact let’s just lump all personal hygiene into one big group and say that if you don’t take care of yourself you are gross and probably unemployable anyway.
My point is I agree with the German courts ruling on women’s bras, if you don’t like it find someplace to work that will let you leave the over the shoulder boulder holder at home.
Today, we got into our car with no plan, no map and no idea where we were going to go. So we just drove and ended up in a little town called Dilsberg. Only in Europe will a little random town have castle ruins, beautiful churches and lovely little cafes. So here are some pics from our afternoon!
Here is a picture from the Speyer Technik Museum. Look closely and you will see a slide that comes from the belly of the Boeing 747 all the way to the ground. It was so cool, you get a carry up a little carpet to the top, sit on the carpet and down you go!
Owen loves helicopters and airplanes, this was a perfect place for him. We also got to go to the IMAX theater where we saw 
Here we are at an awsome place called "Kid Zone" in Eppelheim. It had these cool blow up slides, tramplolines and a ball pit. The kids loved it and only 3 euro! Mom liked that part!
Meg loved these little bikes. You can also see here the outfit she chose to dress herself in. Leggings, a skirt, and two different socks. When I suggested something else she was not happy so I chose not to fight this battle.
The ball pit!
This museum was full of odd stuff, everything from tanks to organs, motorcycles and space suits. 
A beautiful church in Speyer

Our Apartment building, we are at the very top!The window at the far right is where Meg's room is, the windows in the middle are the stairwell and the window with the small white dot in it is our kitchen (the dot is a little lamp in the window.)
When we moved to Leimen we thought these were ski lifts because they move and look just like them but... they are actually big buckets transporting concrete. That's right... our little towns claim to fame is concrete! There is a huge factory with two huge smoke stacks right down the street. You can see Leimen from most anywhere in Heidelberg.. just look for the smoke stacks. 
Don't like to post pics of myself but this is one proud momma, so full of praise that her son is finally enjoying school! 
This is what the town's center looks like. Meg and I love to go exploring on our morning walks.
