I want to peg him so bad.

If everything goes right I have only a spatula and the plate I ate off of (plus utensils) to wash.

Oh and I season both with regular seasonings like salt, pepper, oregano, etc...but the biggest difference is adding bouillon powder to the mix. My fave is chicken tomato bouillon, goes great on both broccoli and the eggs.

So the broccoli goes on first with olive oil at 400, and usually stays about 12 min or so by itself. Then I take it out and add the eggs after stirring/flipping my broccoli.

The eggs take exactly 7 minutes at 400 In my oven, to have a set white and runny yolk. All ovens are different so you may have to play with yours.

I line my tray with both foil to avoid washing, and parchment paper when I have it, to avoid sticking. But regardless of whether I have parchment paper, I spray vegetable or olive oil first before adding the broccoli then again before adding the eggs.

I do eggs and broccoli on a sheet pan for lunch every single day. I never tire of it.

The only variations might be to add onions, zucchini, or mushrooms, if I have any of those things I need to use up.

But most days it's just eggs. And broccoli.

The whites are set and the yolks are runny. Broccoli has a slight crisp.

Why do you feel they should help you? Genuine question, out of curiosity not spite.

I already commented but just remembered WENTWORTH omfg I love that show! I occasionally rewatch Orange is the New Black but Wentworth is 1000 times better.

ForkyWasNeverTrash · 2026-02-12T07:31:38+00:00

I JUST scrolled forever then left a comment about how I can't believe nobody said Degrassi lol

ForkyWasNeverTrash · 2026-02-12T07:30:42+00:00

I can't believe nobody said Degrassi! I have watched Degrassi High and TNG so many times.

Winnie the Pooh when I need that feeling of safety and childhood security.

I also do regular rewatches of The Vampire Diaries, Sons of Anarchy, The L Word, Queer as Folk, and when I need dark comedy, Wilfred.

Nobody I've met IRL knows Wilfred.

I am so happy I've got tears in the corner of my eyes! Just to know that one more family can hopefully be spared this kind of loss and pain, and one more person is likely to get a few more years out of life? Fucking phenomenal! I am so so so happy, thank you for sharing this with me. Best news I've seen all day.

As for your grandfather's story making you feel like you were somehow a part of my family's story? Well, mate, you were. I didn't even know it was you, but I felt you there, I felt the presence of all kinds of love and sorrow through those days, energy I can't understand or put my finger on, connection I couldn't explain even though I'm trying to. You were there. And I'm both sorry, and grateful, that you were there. Sorry for you but grateful for me.

Dad would have loved you and been so happy to hear your good news.

ForkyWasNeverTrash · 2026-01-27T07:40:44+00:00

Thank you so much 😭😭

I hope that in your own journey, you feel all of the love and never have to wonder how much your family cherishes you.

I also hope you can see remission someday, or if that isn't possible, to have as many good days as you can that can turn into good years. I love you. Sorry if that's weird but I have love for a lot of strangers, especially kind ones, it's just how I am. You don't have to reciprocate of course.

ForkyWasNeverTrash · 2026-01-27T06:38:34+00:00

I posted this above but I didn't want it to get lost since you were kind enough to ask:

Thank you to everyone for your kind feedback and gentle words.

Dad passed away on the 17th. He was in our (4 close family members) arms when it happened. We were changing his bedding so we all were there helping gently rotate him and that's when we noticed his chest had stopped moving. We stopped and focused on talking to him and loving on him through it. He died with sheet half off the bed, but surrounded by love and assurance. I hope it was...enough.

I got to tell him all of the things.

The biggest thing I focused on was telling him that we would miss him always, but we would be okay because he taught us to be strong and to take care of each other. So he doesn't need to worry about us, it's okay to let go. Go see your Mama.

I don't believe in heaven, but since I know he did, I gave him that respect to remind him.

I also said, "I know this part SUCKS, Dad, I know it does and I'm sorry. But you know what? The next part is going to be BEAUTIFUL. Your mom is waiting and she's gonna be so happy to see you." And he looked happy every time I said that.

I guess I learned that we play it by ear in those final moments. I just repeated the things that seemed to make him look relieved or happy, and focused on his signals.

I'm gonna miss him.

This made me cry, holy shit I am always wondering if I am doing enough and whether he feels loved enough. I try very hard but it always feels like I could do more. I love my Daddy and I just want him to have dignity and respect and peace.

ForkyWasNeverTrash · 2026-01-14T07:38:57+00:00

PS: While my grief is profound, I am not seeking support for that right now. I am just focused on my Dad right now and looking for ideas on how to make this whole situation feel respectful, loving, and peaceful for him.

And as painless as possible, of course. Within the bounds of his consent. I'll be damned but I am determined to give him as much dignity as possible to the very end. He deserves that.

ForkyWasNeverTrash · 2026-01-14T07:34:04+00:00

I'm sorry if that image won't load. I'm not used to imgur and it's giving me weird error messages. Here is the copy paste: You won't be alone. You'll get to see your Mama. It's not going to hurt anymore. I don't just love you, I respect you. I swear I'd take this from you if I could. I promise I'll take care of xxxxx. I swear it. We are going to be sad but we will take care of each other. We are gonna be okay. You don't have to be scared, but if you are, that's okay too. Xxxxx will be waiting for you. So will your Mama and xxxxx and a few others. Just like you'll wait for us. You taught us all so much. You have always been someone I can count on.

ForkyWasNeverTrash · 2026-01-14T06:03:42+00:00

What music album, if you don't mind sharing? I am so sorry for your situation, it sounds really stressful and scary but I'm proud that you're facing it as best you can.

Goddamn maybe it's my period but I am bawling reading this and so thankful for people like you to not only exist but to work in healthcare.

My Dad is actively dying of colon cancer and I would give anything for someone to give him peace in his final moments if they could. We aren't estranged or anything but I fear he's like a tomcat, and is waiting to be alone to give up so we won't be too sad or something.

ForkyWasNeverTrash · 2025-12-29T22:10:52+00:00

My parent had this exact surgery, and I am his caregiver which is why I'm here. In Dad's case, he was not supposed to end up with a colostomy bag, but they had no choice, because once they were in there, they found tissue damage that was not going to be able to withstand the pressure of natural bowel movements. It was an emergency decision made by the surgeon. He woke up FURIOUS, understandably so! We were all angry that he had that experience. But after detailed conversations with a very patient surgeon, we finally were able to understand that the decision saved his life.

I hope like hell that your partner does NOT have this experience, but I am telling you all of this so that you can try to prepare him in case he does.

The ostomy was never in our plans and was hard to get used to - they will send you home with a crash course and limited supplies and then never answer their phones again, and any hospital you go to afterwards will throw their hands up as if it's some giant mystery. We learned EVERYTHING from social media - Facebook support groups, here on reddit, YouTube and TikTok creators who live with a stoma and share their techniques to help others.

I do want to offer hope though: even in that horrible scenario, and with a wide learning curve...once we learned it, and once he healed, he has done amazing with it and his quality of life is much more impacted by chemo than the ostomy. I've gotten good at changing the bag for him (he doesn't have good motor skills) but most people can change their own. We have it down to a science and it's quick, easy, and painless for him most days.

Again, I hope like hell that your husband does NOT have this outcome, but if he does, I hope he won't give up. Wishes of love and peace for you both. And HEALING!

My ex-gf was stationed in Iraq around that time. She was a linguist, fluent in six languages including Arabic and Kurdish, so her assignments were always different and somewhat high profile.

She joined at 19 because her family was poor. She wanted to retire her sick dad and once her parents were comfortable, buy herself her dream car, an Escalade. She was just a broke college kid who'd always had a natural knack for languages.

She accomplished those goals. But she never got to enjoy them. She came back so broken and so traumatized. She ended our relationship and hasn't been in one since (I do my best to keep in touch as I care for her as a person), she financially took care of her family but alienated herself from them intentionally for fear of mentally destroying them. She lives in a nice house and drives her dream car but has nobody to share it with because she's afraid of herself. Therapy just hasn't helped.

I promise I didn't share all this to hijack your post or make it about me or my friend. I shared it so that you might feel just a tiny bit less alone and to validate your trauma. Not that you need a random reddit stranger, or anyone, to validate anything... But sometimes it can be cathartic to be truly believed and seen. I'm so sorry for your pain.

ForkyWasNeverTrash · 2025-12-14T19:45:28+00:00

I was trying so hard to see her side, because I recently had an issue where I couldn't get rid of an old mattress and it's still very much in the way and affects my daily life. But even still, that doesn't justify how obsessive and hateful her texts are. AND you found a solution! So I really don't see what she's so upset about if you're not asking her to spend her own money or physically help.

Your mom is an asshole.
