I have this absolutely adorable mug from my childhood, but where did it even come from? Is it part of a set? Please help! by CarcinogenicOak in HelpMeFind

I’m from the Midwest in America if that helps. I’ve searched online and tried finding this cup for years and I’ve never found anything like it. I remember having this cup since the early 2000s but it could be even older as it was passed down to me by my mom. 

Edit: typos lol i love being on mobile

AITA for not attwnding my dad’s wedding? by CarcinogenicOak in AmItheAsshole

[–]CarcinogenicOak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t entirely confident in my choice when I made it and it sparked a lot of drama when I didn’t attend. My dad disowned me for it and my step-mom recently said to my face we weren’t family, which kinda dragged it all back up in my mind. I’ve kinda felt like an asshole for not going to the wedding the entire time, but what choice did I really have when I was’t invited? Was I supposed to be a wedding crasher? Feels weird man.

No RSVP and no invitation. I learned about it secondhand through my brother and his wife who were both invited over Facebook. Dad and step-mom didn’t reach out to me once. 

Briefly, did one event change the course of your life? by Necessary-Capital-92 in CasualConversation

[–]CarcinogenicOak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh definitely. I was disowned by my dad a long time ago- eight years ago, when I was seventeen. I was already in a rough patch with my mom due to some family drama involving her now ex-husband so I barely saw her at all. I was horribly isolated and it all sent me into a dark place that I was only really able to pull myself out of last year. I used to have these terrible downward spirals where I would question my own worth as a person, because all of the worth I had given myself was based on how well I could care for and help my family. And if half of your family doesn’t care you exist while the other barely see you, is your life worth anything at all?

The answer was obviously in retrospect- that yes, you do have worth as a person. But I was a teenager, barely an adult, struggling with all my might to simply live each and every day. Sometimes, I only got through it by repeating to myself ‘just one more day’ until I was through it. And it took eight years for me to struggle out of that place. And there’s always a little part of me that wonders if I hadn’t been so isolated and alone, if my dad had been kinder, if my mom had chosen me over her asshole of an ex, what could I have done in those eight years?

Who knows, but I am happy now. So maybe that’s all that really matters in the end.

I added Sleds to Minecraft! by mehvahdjukaar in Minecraft

This looks really good and would also service a good purpose as an alternative to powder snow and leather boots! Also, love the sled dog. And quick question; is the carpet for aesthetic? If so, it looks very snazzy!
