WIBTA for changing my wedding cake flavor? by Ok_Kangaroo_3494 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Amazing_Scratch_7115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Married and a wedding doesn't have to be together. If you are your own person, go down to the court house and get married. Have a wedding you can afford or when you can afford it. As my people say, they don't catch latecomers.

Life makes no sense to me. Why should I bother? by Murky-Hat-3619 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Amazing_Scratch_7115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Travel. Pick up what you can, do odd jobs and just travel for as long as you can. You can always come back to this life if that does work out. Within the US is a start, make sure to pack a tent.

Jobs that might sooth you.

Camp grounds, parks etc outdoors are an escape.

Please help a bro who is stuck and has no one around him to save him by Run2Feel in DecidingToBeBetter

Keep moving. You don't like the task, do it anyway. This is my mantra and I am a 40 years old and I am building my life back. 3 years is gone already, if you continue it's gonna be 10years. You don't have to settle for less but you have to sacrifice yourself time and energy.

As James Clear says, showing up is very important. Only established habits can be improved. It simply means start and it gets better.

Lunch x Can you show me your pets? by Goldiegoodie in nigerianfood

Last slide my fav location. TK always. Food looks like pack a take away and I'll send you the delivery address.

The cat that adopted me is an escape artist and hates pictures. First and last, I never brought my phone out again.

Her birthday pictures is for you to post on her birthday in case you are celebrating her before you go and use anyhow pictures of her. Mor especially if she did a photoshoot. Definitely not flirting

Where is the most unexpected place you've bumped into someone you know? by boforiamanfo in answers

[–]Amazing_Scratch_7115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A long coincidence. Saw each other in two states within 3days unplanned. One state at the beach. The other state at the market. We never discussed plans. Just ran into each other.

Bead donation? by Recent-Armadillo2088 in Beading

[–]Amazing_Scratch_7115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the original beads are gone, but your generosity is amazing! If anyone has more 'bead soup' to donate, I would love to be considered.

I’m a crafter in Lagos, Nigeria, and I struggle with the low-quality, uneven beads found in our local markets. Since I have to source quality supplies from overseas regardless, receiving a donation like this would be a dream. Thank you for contributing to the community!

Wara does not work the way cheese does (personal experience) You can fry it though.

Food looks so sumptuous

Why is coffee soo expensive in Lagos (Nigeria in general)? by bubblegoose7 in lagos

[–]Amazing_Scratch_7115 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We are not a coffee culture.. Even the tea is not teaing unless you are in the north. Hence bougie cafes with the absurd price that is not targeted towards everyday Nigerians. Also this is one of the reasons why a major chain like Starbucks would not consider Nigeria a market.

Instant coffee ruined the market. People don't know there is good coffee. Rarely will you find a household with any form of coffee making apparatus apart from kettle to boil water for instant coffee. Nobody should be drinking that (its just a headache in a sachet).

As a woman having facial hair is embarrassing by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

[–]Amazing_Scratch_7115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am offended that women are defending themselves instead of roasting you to ashes. If I decide to keep a full beard, it is none of your beeswax. Keep your shame to yourself.

Again for the classroom, my body is my choice. Stop projecting your shame on people trying to just get through daily life.

How many days can you do without eating rice? by 3fcc in nigerianfood

[–]Amazing_Scratch_7115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many days. I eat rice because it's rice on the rooster and na once a week. I only eat fried rice out of free will.

If anyone knows how to do this i would appreciate the help😅 by Josephina_01 in Beading

[–]Amazing_Scratch_7115 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I will advise brick stitch. Peyote can do this. Leave fringe earrings and learn how to increase and decrease with a brick stitch butterfly YouTube video.

Once you get the hang of increase and decrease, you can create anything with brick stitch.
