Apart from the meatballs (and maybe bacon) this sounds like a good pizza to me. I like just a little bit of cheese on my pizza and if I put this in the special order it is like they don't believe me and add extra cheese. I also like to go heavy on the sauce and add garlic. Did your place have garlic without butter?

To be very honest I just like Pizzabrot but I think they only sell this in Bavaria (whelp).

Marble highway, crown, couch for soft toys, bracelets, easter bunnies, caleidoscope, towers of castles,...

Funnily enough I haven't thought of binoculars. I'll try it out today!

That was such a cool response, thank you!

I am not sure I have ever seen a weasel in real life (whelp), do they get stuck in a toilet paper roll? I thought they would be small enough to get through. You could make an amazing labyrinth from them! We did try to make something like that for marbles, and it... didn't necessarily turn out well, but it was super fun and taught us grown ups a lot about dynamics I guess! Btw they work well if you use just halfs of the rolls. I mean you probably don't really need it, but you can craft pencil holders from them too, I used to do this as a kid (I was a huge Art Attack fan).

If you want to soundproof a wall, egg cartons are actually supposedly really good for that! I mean it looks weird probably but I remember egg carton walls from the 90s. But the sprouting thing definitely works too! I actually thought of this by myself (I am weirdly proud of that xD) and double checked with a friend who has studied horticulture (and who has very little money because, well, she has studied horticulture) and she said she does this too! So I guess I have a professional approval for that technique!

Your tetra pack use reminded me of using cans for plants as well! Or remember can telephones? My daughter is only 3 years old and I look forward to crafting more and more stuff with her. She still loves commercial stuff though (which we try to buy used at least), she is so much into Frozen it is ridiculous. We shielded her from this stuff and it took one trip to friends who had a girl who was an Elsa fan to get our daughter hooked long before she ever saw the movie. It's crazy. We actually were sewing some "Elsa dresses" for her dolls today. She was so patient with it because she wanted it so much. Parenting is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Pretty obvious but you can use plastic containers from yoghurt, margarine, etc as plant pods (the ones that go inside the pretty ones). Just make sure to put some holes in the bottom for drainage. For seedlings, egg cartons work too.

Packaging paper we reuse as gift wrappings. I like to draw or "airbrush" something on it.

And toilet paper rolls... If you got a child you probably know.

If you google the kid she definitely doesn't have albinism. Which makes it even weirder that she was sold for body parts.

My mom and sister used to say my husband looks like he just got released from Auschwitz so I feel you 🫠

Maybe it's because your dad wants you to get a perfect person. Someone who is nice and loving and interesting and attractive and successful and rich and a good cook and volunteers and whatnot. My guess is not that they would prefer you to have someone handsome and unloving instead, but someone who is both handsome and loving. Because to them, you're perfect. So they want you to have the (what they assume would be) perfect match. Most of this is probably not an active thought process but just some subconscious thinking.

I got a kid but not a car. Just walking to the kindergarten and back twice a day is movement. We spend a lot of time outdoors at playgrounds or parks and I have to do all the grocery shopping by bike or walking. I don't do other physical exercise admittedly, but this kid is a fitness machine. We be running, playing, I need to lift her, carry her, carry her stuff, clean up, wrestle - for real having a kid made me the most physically fit and active I've ever been.

When I was younger I liked to dance. Trying to lose weight I'd just put headphones on in my room and dance for hours. A friend of mine actually lost a crapton of weight this way, think obese to normal weight.

Also, making a kid (and training for it and reenacting it) is great exercise.

Decearing egg!!

And then the people all clapped and patted themselves on the back for saving the guy and went about their day. But the guy went back to the same life full of problems that led him to despair. Crippling debt or depression. Estrangement from loved ones that are no longer willing to reconnect. Loneliness or defamation or disease. It's easy to save someone from jumping, but this is not help. That is not the help they need. They need constant and long term help, assistance, and support.

Saving a stranger from a suicide attempt has a vibe to it like preventing an abortion from happening without providing any further support for the mother or the child. Congrats, you saved a life, technically. But you did nothing to save the life.

No, the people you mentioned are fine. I think it is something with the nose-chin-cheek combo that I find appalling.

For Jennifer Lawrence it's a separate thing, we have many similar features (like fat cheeks and hooded eyes) and it creeps me out too much and I get insecure watching her. I keep thinking how weird I must look and reevaluate my makeup the whole time, it's too stressful.

I also have a thing where I can't stop thinking of rooster anuses whenever I see Kevin Bacon (his mouth).

I want to emphasize that none of this is meant in a mean spirited way and those people are beautiful the way they are. It's my brain that makes these associations and I very much disapprove of them.

I have that face thing with Patrick Swayze and Meryl Streep. And the girl from Dirty Dancing. I am working on getting over Jennifer Lawrence's face. All these people are surely somewhat good actors but there is something about their faces that I cannot stand and it makes it impossible for me to focus on the plot. I just made it through Silver Linings Playbook today, finally, it was hard but I am glad I managed, Lawrence did a good job and I forgot about her face for almost 30% of the time. One day I will manage to watch more than 15 minutes of Dirty Dancing.

I thought about sending this to some people, or using the analogy the next time we talk about it. But I think they will spin the metaphor further with comparing it to certain foods and just fewer different foods at smaller portions and differently presented. Like, don't give a baby apple pieces or hazelnuts during BLW type of thing.

Just to be clear, I am probably in the top 1 percentile of vaccine enthusiasts, having jumped through insane hoops for Covid vaccination and getting everything just in case. I've met 5 anti vaxxers in my life, three of them on the softer side. These softies are the ones I could imagine would argue about this food comparison in their favor.
