Sometimes it's the little things that we should be grateful for. We should go through life with gratitude.
Yesterday it was cold outside and I was too lazy to go out and get some food, and then I found a box of Spring rolls in the freezer that I had forgotten about.
I was full of joy, I thanked the universe and I baked them in the oven and then I ate them all. All 8 of them, with spicy hot sauces. And I was grateful.
Thank you universe.
- Thank the universe? Thank the scientists that designed your dinner!futurefood
- The scientists are the universe, not outside of it.NBQ00
- Everything is the universe. The universe is everything.NBQ00
- Ah I see. You might want to double check those spring rolls. Check for mold :Dfuturefood

Couldn't get to sleep easy last night.
Swirling around in my head out of nowhere came thoughts about floorplans/layout and ideas for a home.
Sketched it out this morning.Maybe this is a sign!
Just need some land now...- Nice. Apparently some of our best ideas come when showering, shitting or sleeplessly swirling around in bedIanbolton

Bought a dozen tomato plants, we'll see if we can eat at least ONE salad, ha!
- you will have more tomatoes than you know what to do withkingsteven
- ^ i hopeOBBTKN
- I'll share the process... your optimism is inspiring ;)OBBTKN
- they all come at the same time is the problem :) i find 4 plants is all the tomatoes i need for a month. i used to fill the greenhouse and would give them awaykingsteven
- (everyone loves tomatoes) and would take any smaller ones, season and slow roast them overnight in the oven and preserve in olive oil.kingsteven
- ^ yummy flavour bombs!mort_
- Parents does preserved fried tomato every autumn, with the surpluses friends give them, it's my plan BOBBTKN
- be careful with the spider! "arañuela roja"... it fucks up the plant with it's web! There's plenty info out there on how to kill itmaquito
- I used liquid fertiliser in watering cans for the first time this year and had a big season of produce, heaps and heaps of tomatoes. Good luck!BuddhaHat

we're on a weeks galavanting oop north in the peak district (never been always wanted to go) and i have found the holy grail... or nearly.
for decades now i have been the mad wanderer in the desert accosting passers by and telling them of the time when caffs used to make bacon sarnies with the famed collar bacon. they would just nod their head and mutter "ok grandad" and hurry their kids away as i shouted after them that it was indeed true. but there was no collar bacon to be found. i cried on the shoulder of a local butcher and he said he had indeed heard of such a thing but felt it must simply be a legend from old as no-one ever asked for it. "i think you could make your own if i get you a boston butt" he promised. sadly, once cured said boston butt was close but not teh mighty collar.
but all is not lost, for t'other day i ventured into a derbyshire butcher and enquired if they had ever heard of the famèd bacon. "by 'eck, lad i'm only slicing some now!" quoth he, "ow mooch are ye after?"
trembling with anticipation, i indicated a couple of inches depthwith my thumb and forefinger, and lo! the mighty meat was placed before me! a choir of angels descended and sang a hallelujah chorus. so i took it home and made a bacon sarnie... but wait what was this travesty??? no rind? most of the fat cut off? hell's teeth, my quest is not yet over. i must return to said butcher, or seek out another, and plead with him to see the error of his ways, and to let me have the collar complete with rind and fat.
but by god it tasted proper.

Had to run some errands... was feeling dead tired and decided to grab a hot coffee. I was informed that I'd have to wait 4-5 minutes for a fresh pot... no argument from me — gimmie.
4 mins later I've got my coffee and the girl at the window also hands me a bag w/2 free donuts due to the wait for the coffee.
Got home... chowed one of the donuts... then couldn't help but murder the other one...
... TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THE COFFEE... it's still sitting on my desk unopened 7 hours later.

It takes too much effort to start a business.
I've been freelancing for a startup luxury home goods brand and I don't know anymore what it was like 20 years ago, but the amount of energy spent on instagram ads and emails and PR, just to get people to buy overpriced things they don't need is exhausting.
And the brand isn't even profitable, yet.

I've heard if a woman goes to the bathroom with the door open that means she loves you. What does it mean if you're taking a shower together and she farts?

- I'd say this depends upon how large the shower cubicle/whatever is. If it's a tight squeeze, she's a sick-fuck asserting her dominance. A keeper.Nairn
- If it's a large shower, loads of volume - perhaps some interesting shower types and space to sashay, it was just a fart.
A necessarily wet fart.Nairn - This is the masterclass in Showerfartology that I didn't know I needed to know. I'm a novice, and just rip one solo for the acoustics.garbage

It's that time of day between 2:30 and 3 p.m. when I wait to hear my boss quietly slip out of the office early so I can leave.

A coworker (woman) said yesterday : "99% of all the problems we have around the World are because of men. Wars, criminality, rapes, murders, violence, dictators, corruption, terrorists... Many decisions that are bad for the environment, for the population are coming from men"

27 years since one of the best bands to ever come out of Wales played in Northampton, I met the band afterwards too and Euros Childs was such a lovely chap, but you could have probably guess that, They ended up playing in the bar as there were not enough folk in the venue to fill up the main hall, to be honest the intimacy of that made it even better!

“We’re struggling to innovate” is an admission that a company isn’t evolving how work gets done, not evidence that the office drives innovation.

- helping with innovation... wasted time, cannot focus for extended periods esp as designer/devs...prophetone

because you all care so m uch about my lawn.
this is a fairly common yard here
no, thank you
that line is noticeable
yes, please
seems neighbors I've spoken to about this all say essentially the same thing, just stay on top of it, they appear quickly and die just as fast. letting weeds propagate is bad for clover, grass, and the soil. Ideally wildgrasses that root deeper would be preferencial. but with a limit to grass height, not an opton. each has their opinion on chemicals but given the pup, i'm using vinegar, salt, or boiling water for anything I can't dig up.
this is why kentucky bluegrass is preferred here, slower growth, denser, better at retaining water

- Constant maintenance, and after having to deal with it through childhood, my biggest victory in life is not having a fucking yard.garbage
- But if you laid down sod, you'd never see those weeds again. Also pick the dandelions before they spread.garbage

So we're standing on a pier on San Cristobal island in the Galapagos last week. We're about 8 feet above the surf, rocks, crabs and sea lions resting on the rocks. My wife walks over and promptly drops her phone through the boards of the pier and into the rocks below. Poof. It's gone. We get down on our knees to see if we can locate it. Nada. A gentleman who works at the marina walks over seeing we're in distress, I explain in my 8th grade Spanish what happened and he walks away. Three minutes later he returns with shirtless man called Jorge who looks like he's a house painter due to the paint splattered on his back. He asks where the phone is, jumps over the railing, down on to the rocks and sticks his arm down to try to find it. Waves are crashing about every 10 seconds or so. He pulls out a plastic bag. He pulls out an empty can. Then he holds up my wife's iPhone 13 (waterproof!) and we are so relieved. The phone was totally fine, still on and working even though it had been submerged for about 15 minutes or so. We handed Jorge and the other big guy $20 each. They were psyched and we were obviously so happy. It was a needed reminder that there are still really nice people out there.
So grateful for that big man to be willing to walk over to help.- $20 is $20.palimpsest

- I went to Galapagos and all I have is a lost iPhone story? Is this some kind of sick joke? Just kidding, glad you got it back. Now - pictures!canoe
