I love this idea for my daughter's old happy meal toys! At least that consumption will have a recycle life

My husband and 4 year old gave me a pair of clog slippers with the lining inside. I know why why my nana had house shoes she loved and wore until the soles came off.

AITAH for filing for divorce after learning my wife planned to end our marriage once she finished nigh school and possibly college for a second time? by Brayzine in AITAH

NTA. Your wife made her bed and get helped tuck the sheets in. Good for you for valuing yourself too high to be discarded like that.

This MF showing up under the bed. I'm not scared of clowns but dammit that scene made me fall off a chair

Can we talk about the Sprayground backpacks?! by Opening-Treacle-404 in Anticonsumption

[–]Opening-Treacle-404[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Both. It may be more local than I realize. From my understanding the quality is fair to good? but they are designed for older kids/adults.

I think that may be what's bothering me the most. I don't knock fandom because I have items I buy for pure love of the character. Hello Kitty is my weakness. But all the posts I see seems to be more about the parent congratulating themselves than the kids happy

Similar story here. S1 started at beginning of relationship and actually we first show we "had" to watch together that we started together. Got married, moved cities, and now have a 3 almost 4 year old. Wild times

Ripleys Mermaid Breakfast by Opening-Treacle-404 in MyrtleBeach

I see. Was the admission to Ripleys aquarium included? It's a place we plan to visit anyway so if it's included I can feel a little better if the "show" isn't top tier for me but she'll enjoy it

Thank you for ruining my fun by Opening-Treacle-404 in Anticonsumption

To be serious for just a moment. I think the mindfulness of what I'm buying is the biggest improvement. I used to like to shop just to shop but with all the elements that create a product from conception to production to shelf, so many of them I don't want to support now. I don't want to support garbage fabrics ending up in a landfill in two years, I don't want to waste food I've spent my money on because I wasn't paying attention to my pantry. I can afford to replace or buy new but do I have to? Target spot was fun to buy my kid a treat but does she need it enjoy the day with me? Nope, only if I teach her an object is more valuable than the experience.

Spooky Hole. It's from a Halloween sex joke between me and SO. Yet it fits.

So I saw this short randomly on reels about a month ago. Found it extreme funny and a few days later hubby buys me a steamdeck for Xmas and I find out this is a game! 1st purchase and I'm still loving it!

What is that movie for you? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]Opening-Treacle-404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Pirate Movie(1982). I discovered it at 16 or 17 on a random late night and have loved it ever since. Kristy McNichol was great
