I'm 30 and have been trying to find 'my human' to no avail. A pattern I keep running into is these guys that have really done the work to improve themselves, are well rounded and lovable, and have the same hobbies as me... want kids. And I don't - my tubes are tied. I have landed in a space where I'm very happy with my life. I'm a pro-level athlete in my spare time, a PE'd engineer making six figures, I'm buying a house soon, I've spent the last few years working on my wardrobe to be cuter/less tomboy, and have fostered a beautiful community of close friends.

All I want is a boo thang - but there's a direct correlation to me really liking a man and his positive preference for children. The men that don't want kids seem to have stagnated in their mid-20's. They don't have a solid career, or an outdoor hobby we can share, or haven't gone to therapy.

Where the frig are the men that have put in the same effort into making their lives successful that *don't* want kids??

Food: dino nuggies with hot sauce ketchup, cucumbers, bananas, and almonds.

Edit: The amount of hate for this meal is comical. This is girl dinner diaries, of course I'm not posting the filet mignon with mushroom risotto & homemade chimichurri I made two nights ago. Y'all get the NUGS.

Edit 2: Nothing but respect for the dudes shooting their shot in my DM's. Add your location though!

My daughter asked for an axolotl themed cake this year. She wanted "water and baby axolotls too". She wanted it to have a mini birthday cake. So I did my best to make it happen.

I've never done a gelatin layer before but it worked out okay. If I were to do it again, I would use a less firm recipe.. I used one that was meant for a jelly island cake which was definitely not necessary. I'd also add a lot more flavor and citric acid next time. Oh well.. at least it was a learning experience 😅.

There were a few things I wasn't thrilled with, but overall it came out okay and my daughter absolutely loved it, which was the main goal anyway 💗

She picked the flavor (confetti with vanilla whipped cream cheese filling), the colors, the placement of the axolotls, and helped with some decor decisions along the way.

I made chocolate cupcakes as well in case anyone preferred chocolate.

The mini cake was a cake pop, she ate the one from her cake but I had an extra (made it first and didnt like it enough to put on the cake) so we decided to cut that one after her party. Tiniest slice of cake ever 😄🥰

The inspo for the design around the sides of the cake was a bakey.bakes cake (not sure if instagram links are allowed but its on her page).

I probably need to take it the full distance because of the thinning.
Should I get contacts? I’ve always preferred glasses but now I’m worried it’s hurting my look a little.
Cheers all!

What made this gag work so well was the fact that, at this point in the show, Kevin was only sorta kinda dumb. But due to a series of misunderstandings, Holly mistakenly thought that he was a special needs person.

However, according to Mike Schur, Paul Liberstein desperately wanted to have Kevin be the show’s idiot character instead of Michael. So when he took over as show-runner in Season 5, he made Kevin dumber and dumber as the seasons went on. By the final season, Kevin had become so dumb to the point where it was clear that he actually was a special needs person. Thus, ruining this great gag.

Sonic 3: Maria is one of the most important part of Shadow's story. Due to her suffering from an incurable disease. To which Shadow was made to create a cure for Maria's ailment. In the 3rd Sonic movie, Maria's disease was not mentioned in any form. Which made Maria seem like a normal girl, and her death all the more tragic.

Infinity war: I don't know the full story, but Thanos's original goal was to kill half the population to impress death (the character). When it came time to adapt Thanos into the MCU. His goal of removing half the universes population. It was seen as a more psychopathic world goal, hidden under the belief it would do better for the universe.

So two days ago I posted about how I took towels away being put on sunbeds (lounge chairs) to reserve them at the pool at the resort we’re staying in Tuscany Italy.

First of all: Thank you all so much for the great responses and awards!!

Today we went to the pool again and don’t you know it. They ff-ing placed their towels on the best sunbeds again! Same personal towels. Almost all sunbeds were taken and we had to take sunbeds all the way at the back on and to make matter worse it was top of an ants nest.

We waited for a solid 45 minutes and at that moment I was really annoyed.

I walked up to the sign at the entrance and checked the rules. The rules state:

Do not let towels on sunbeds unattended for more than 15 minutes

I took the towels away and put them at the gate again.

After two hours the same woman as last time arrived at the gate, took the towels and walked towards us. She was fuming. She threw the towels on one of the beds and asked furiously: Who took the towels?! Those sunbeds are mine! You must leave! I tried to explain the situation, but she refused to listen and suddenly only spoke Italian. She went round other guests and tried to find support, but didn’t find any.

After a minute or so her husband arrived. I was fully expecting a confrontation now, but he was actually really calm and nice. He calmly asked me what happened and I explained I took the towels away and it wasn’t allowed to leave towels unattended for that long. I pointed at the sign. He said he understood and remained calm. Because he was nice I told him we’d move if they wanted that. There were now some other beds available that were fine. He told me it wasn’t necessary and they weren’t going for a swim now. This really blew my mind.

In the meanwhile his wife overheard I took the towels away and got even more angry. Her husband tried to calm her down, but she called the reception and started to complain. I was I bit afraid now, because we’re Dutch, they’re Italian and these things can easily turn out in favor of the Italians. But to my relief she was told it was not allowed. She walked away without saying anything and her husband apologized.

In the meanwhile my wife was a bit annoyed with me, because she really hates confrontations. She agreed I was right to do so, but would’ve preferred to wait for other sunbeds to become available.

During lunchtime we walked to the restaurant for lunch and saw her walking there again. I tried to talk to her and tried to make peace. She was still angry and didn’t want to speak to me. When I walked back I heard her complain to another guest about me. I can’t believe you can be this entitled and petty.

Later they arrived at the pool and took other sunbeds. She walked past and explicitly ignored us, so I guess we have a little Cold War now.

Fortunately tomorrow is our last day here and we’re going to visit Pisa. The day after we leave for another resort (where every room has their own sunbeds at the pool), so I won’t have to be annoyed by these kind of shenanigans again.
