I am obsessed with this video, like why is it so good?

I've never seen this creator before, however when I saw a one hour video on trader joes, I thought, Wow this lady must have something to say about it, count me in

shes so wholesome, and funny. Shes so very funny here, had to share it!

and..it is weird.

Just got this in the parent app, Ive truly become unhinged in that I responded immediately to the post: Ai really? Slop.

I cant take it anymore. A lady at the checkout of my dr appointment yesterday had a large poster, ehem, large ai poster of herself as a queen with text on it like "phone queen" and it was so hard to stand there and not say anything.

Imma get introuble at my son's school this year, I can tell. Fuck Camino Alto, Fuck ai.

He has over 6000 hours in Rust. I dont play official rust, Ive dabbled on the PVE side. There are not many games we play together despite that we both play videogames a lot. There isnt much over lap though in what we enjoy.

So I was absolutely stoked when he told me to buy Valheim. I played it a bit before (before I turned into a creative sandbox) and didnt find it too hard, and fun, and figured we could give it an honest go together.

He "isnt sold" on it. Is disapointed it hasnt grabbed him too. Im beyond sad. Without him, I dont think I will make it much longer without him, I usually make combat very easy for myself, but really wanted to do a vanilla playthrough with him. Im also upset he cant play our world without me (the host) being logged on. We are on xbox, so no, we cant get a server.

The controls are bugging him the most. He did map his controller finally last night. But, honestly, when you have 6000 hours in a game, and it is the only game you play, yeah, deviation from that is gonna be hard.

Im playing quiety just doing valheim things, and hes on his side cussing haha. oye. :( fuck.

We beat the first boss last night. My dude been running into the black forest prior to that, I told him to stay out of there before we go for the boss. Dont listen, have a bad time I guess.

I know the game is about to get grindy. He'll grind rust for 12 hours, but I dont think hes gonna be able to handle it, and I got a feeling imma be on my own for a time. I really wish he could play my world when I wasnt on, its gonna kill us actually playing this game together.

Just found this channel, KEXP, and there is so much music here! Some great preformances! I watched a number of them yesterday, and Malcriada was by far my favorite!

Made this maybe a bit over a month ago. It was perfect.

Got the stuff to make it again today.

I didnt write the recipie down. I need the ratios. Im so mad at myself.

I think I based it off of sally's baking addction recipe. I had all the math and alterations done, though. Oye. I really wish I wrote it down. I had it up on my white board, and sometimes I'll take a photo of it for later. I am supposed to write it in my book when it comes out perfect. Went into my camera roll, and found a picture of the perfect loaves, with no recipe. aye aye aye.

I cant get it off my mind.

My son has been in and out of an outpaitent youth mental health program, for a number of years now. I have a good report with the lead worker over there. Had a meeting with her yesterday.

In our talk, she very carefully mentioned, they had a tough, but important group recently. She obvioisly knows her kids, and asked the group to raise their hand if any of the kids had a father who had been to jail.

She said every child, (including mine) raised thier hand. Every single one. She teared up a bit when she was telling me. I did too.

Ive no idea where to post this.

Further into the conversation, my partner, who has been raising my son with me for most of his life, got a big compliment. He spends a lot of time with my son. He makes time for him, he talks with him, and my son adores and respects him. The worker in the meeting mentioned how my son recognizes he is lucky to have a "dad" in this role, and a good one too, while many children do not have any positive male (or sometimes any) role model.

Many children do not. :(

I was one of those kids too. Actually both my bio mom/dad fucking failed at raising their kids, and lost all of them. They both have mental health issues. Growing up this way, I could always objectively see "why" this happened for them, but I never understood not making course correction or you know, just not popping out four children each with multiple partners.

I had my son and I knew I had to do better. Ive done better. Making the choice to "do better" for my child was so bloody easy. Maybe the road there was hard, but the decsion to put the child as the first priority and walk this road was the easiest I ever made.

Ive lived a long life (it feels bloody long) and met many, many people. And I can tell you, specifically, people who have a supportive father, a good, present, morally upstanding (I dont mean this rigidly, but a person who is respectful, decent and honest) fathers, have such better outcomes in adult hood.

Short example: A man died as a drunk, getting hit by a car from the bar one night, leaving behind his two adolecent children. His adult son told me he wanted to die the same way, and was a severe alcoholic who found a hard life. He was not a peace with himself, and it was beyond clear how much of an impact his father had on him, without even being present really much of his life.

And more. Ive so many of these stories. I dont know, it was heartbreaking to know a room full of kids with mental health issues didnt have present or ..whatever, no dads. Correalation is not causation and all that, but seriously, this is pretty clear to me the correlation. Ive only seen it play out a 100 times meeting and learning people in my adult life. To just, see the next gen of fucked up kids, hurts.

I just wanna share this. If you have kids or dont, just be kind to kids. How many of us may have latched onto an adult in our life because that adult gave us positive attention we didnt get at home? I know I did.

I wish I was smarter, so I could like, make a point. Wont reach those who need it. But, all the kids in the world, just like the adults, you never know what someone is going through.

Its just sad man.

I think my depression is coming back.

Photo is from the ones I already very carefully, removed from my lemon tree. These are saddleback slug catapillars.

Went to get the last stalk of corn, and they are all over the leaves in this bed. I didnt realize and one brushed my face! It hurts!

Aside from the minor panic attack, that I was about to have to call an ambulance, I think I'll be okay? It def hurts. I did like the internet said and took sticky tape to the area and washed it with soap and water.

They are everywhere in my garden, making me want to not go near it.

I dont think the mantis can eat them for me. Has anyone ever dealt with this?

Potato harvest is excellent this year! My tomatoes are okay, but I have not gotten as many as id like. Feel free to laugh with me on my pathetic corn lol

gardening is so legit. Learning more with each season :)

Im always planting potatoes though. Its beyond easy, and I absolutey enjoy the act of digging for the spuds. I was sad I had no more to dig!

I am in LOVE with the opening act on this day, Excrementory Grindfuckers!!!

Arte Concert has been streaming the entire festival, this band was my first ever hearing of Excrementory Grindfuckers, and Its my new fav band. I speak absolutely no german, but this set hit every single little bit of my brain like a happy little battling ram. Amazing.

Havnt felt actual joy in a few weeks, this was great, and wanted to share it somewhere <3

Im not gonna do it. If I didnt have a support network and family though, Id be feeling it.

struggling to cope with both micro and macro ...sadness in humanity.

Im tired of coping today. Im crying every 15 mins.

I did go to my art therapy group this morning, and felt a little better. Only to come on here and see.. what my country is doing.

Being human is a curse.

gonna go to my dr appt in a minute, and then make my favorite leek soup, or ask my husband to handle dinner so I can be a puddle on the floor.

Nearly 40 years on this earth. Today, feels like too much.

We grew corn when I was a kid, first time growing it myself. Impluse bought a few stalks to throw into the garden bed, and now this corn is bringing me a lot of joy. Grow corn, Grow!

I saw a post somewhere yesterday for this cake, and knew I had to make it. I used this recipie:

https://www.sarahsslice.co.uk/post/sarah-s-moss-cake

The only thing I changed was I sliced fresh strawberries into a bowl and added a tablespoon of sugar to them. Let them sit for an hour or so and added them to the center layer of the cake on top of the cream.

Never made this before.

recipie calls for two 8" rounds, but I dont have maching pans so I made one 9" square, and one 6" round.

have not cut into it yet, but I am stoked for later :D

Depression cured for today at least. Love staying busy

I will win this battle. I failed doing a U stair, but got an L shape up. Changed my mind on adding a third floor LOL.

Love this game so much! Def a learning curve with build mode, but absolutley incedibly fun

I am so excited to check this game out!

Giddy Happy!

Seven gdang years! The time is now! :)

Rain all day today! Looks like night time lows wont dip too far below 50 for the grow season. Just brought all my suffering babies outside today!

One of my favorite days of the year!

Hi, I am not sure where to post this, im sorry if It shouldnt be here. I am severely depressed and desperate to get some.. freedom back. I can remove this post if not allowed.

I used to ride, had a nice road bike I could use regularly, that a friends father always maintained for me. I never learned about any of it. I know there are tubes in the tires likely ruined. This is my bike that has been sitting in a partially exposed shed for five years.

It is a bit rusty, and looks in need of a lot of help. Im asking my huaband if we can repair it to working order for my gift on mothers day, but as I look at it more and more, I just see dollar signs going up and up. But I know nothing.

do any of you folks out there, know if it might be difficult to restore? Ideas for resources? Im about to look up bike repair shops in my area, but Im afraid this repair might cost more than is reasonable as a mothers day thing.

I look at this and just, metaphor written all over it. This bike is to my life.

anyhow, would it be expenisive? is a bike tune up expensive? Im terrified for some reason. please help.

Saw this out and about today, I realize it's pretty dead here, but figured I'd share the info. Really happy to see this.
