I knew it was too quiet

My local cafe does this every week and every week the names get more and more ridiculous (esp. Saturday). And I live in farm country so names with "y" in the middle are hard to come by anyway.

**edit for clarity - this place offers a free ice cream or coffee to anyone who comes in with the exact name listed on the day they’re listed. But most of the names they choose are so obscure, there can’t possibly be many people who actually benefit.

Same company, same line of figurines. The Snorlax (right) is from a later series in the same line. The Riolu is made in China, and the Snorlax is made in Vietnam, and is noticeably worse. Colours overprinted, the feel of the vinyl (or I guess the paint) is less smooth.

I bought them ~6 months apart, for the same price.

I got three fresh duck eggs and nine chicken eggs from a local farm. I've never had duck eggs, so I was really looking forward to making some this weekend, and comparing them to the chicken eggs.

Nope! He used all three in a recipe that calls for two large eggs, so with the size, he could have gotten away with one, maybe one and a chicken egg.

Better believe I rage ate those damn cookies. They were amazing, but I hated them, but they were so good.

Edit: I love my dad!! Lol! The cookies were delicious, and he has been thanked a million times. I only posted this because I ate the last one last night, and was mad (again) when I couldn't nibble on one this morning. I had just brought them home the day before he made the cookies, and we hadn't decided what to do with them yet anyway. And, as I had been warned against, they were all in the same basket. Consequences of my own actions - the most infuriating kind of consequences.

We lost mom a couple years ago, so I will always cherish everything he does for the family, even if it means using the eggs I was waiting to try. I can get more eggs, no problem. I can't get more dads...easily...

Edit Jr.: I asked for the recipe, and he answered in the most epically dad fashion.

"I just used my normal recipe, but added some stuff to compensate for the liquid in the eggs."

By "normal recipe," he means whatever he has memorized from either the chocolate chip bag or the Betty Crocker cookbook we've had since the Dark Ages. And "stuff" means dry ingredients in proportion to the liquid he added, which he doesn't measure, he just adds it in using muscle memory and vibes. He also left the chips out of some cookies because that's how he likes them.

Okay first of all love the flairs 😂

But BACK to the point!

I’m just sitting in a huge field under a nice lil tree and this woman (who I might be wrongfully assuming is a mom) and her two daughters.

Now, I love people, but like… the field is huge, why would you choose to sit right next to me in my obvious solitude 🥲

The thing that really ruffled my feathers was how the mom immediately started instructing her daughters how to sit and space themselves out for their picnic photos

Which made me upset because why not just let them exist and take pictures of how they actually are? Why not just let them exist as kids without worrying how aesthetic or cute they look?

Like we’re teaching our kids to care about how they’re perceived by others and to put on a show for them.

Idk maybe I’m just in a mood but I’m tired of our society

Edit: should be noted the mom and kids were collectively looking over the photos to see whether or not they “looked pretty” for the post

At first, I genuinely thought the song was actually called “Corrida” and I was pleasantly surprised because I think that’s a pretty interesting choice of title for a song by an international artist.

As a Portuguese speaker, it’s not something you come across very often, so it caught me off guard in a good way.

I know some people might like these functions but we already have YouTube forcing this same kind of stuff down our throats CAN WE PLEASE JUST HAVE A TOGGLE?

Fun Fact: "Cafuné" is the brazilian portuguese word for lightly scratching someone's hair in a loving/caring way, so thinking that "Corrida" was the actual title for the song wasn't too far-fetched! Sadly, Spotify just pulled a YouTube on me.

idk who looked at this and went yeah that's the one. the heel is just giving up

Can they fix it already

🫤 no room in the medicine cabinet for this monstrosity

I meant a 1oz tube, not 3oz

He lives in the same building. Watched him pull out of a perfectly good spot yesterday just to back his car in here. He leaves it parked like this all weekend. The only way into the breezeway is where his car is. When there's a car in the empty spot, there's barely enoyspace to get through. If someone has a medical emergency or there's a fire...we're screwed.

Luckily it’s not for a couple more days so I can get a fresh one in time.

Would he rather every event cost money so we can pay someone on fiver $30 to make one? Is he ok with a flyer designed over seas or does it need to be local only? Should I even host a free event unless I have the money to pay designers?

Why even throw free events if event planners are expected to pay for everything out of their own pocket? Free = attendees don’t cover costs.

Should we only wait for wealthy do to free community events so they can pay for everything to be hand done? Because honestly, that’s exactly what’s wrong with non profit tax classifications today.

Edit: I did not make this flyer.
