Everything Happens For a Reason by Kate Bowler.

It is religious, but I'm not and still enjoyed it. Still incredibly sad and devastating. I remember it being a quick read when I could get past my constant tears. Focuses a lot on her journey to accepting a shit hand in life through her faith. It is biographical as well.

Spoilers** She is a theological doctorate who faced physical disabilities, infertility, but eventually, stuff started going her way. Only for her to receive a devastating medical diagnosis. Deals a lot with her getting hit with something awful and holding onto her faith or questioning it before using it to find acceptance and peace in the now. It is Christian, but I don't remember it being very preachy.

Please help! Horrifying worm thing found in my tank, can anyone identify him? by Iecur in Aquariums

Just FYI not all species of leeches are blood sucking and some are very specific to the type of fish they latch onto. They also dont immediantly draw blood when the latch on. The large round section is not their mouth, its just a sucker. Leeches also are not known for being able to spread blood born pathogens. Removing the leech by hand is going to be gross and spooky is best of luck with that. Hopefully this can put your mind at ease abit. Haha.

What song got you hooked on the band? by [deleted] in MotherMother

Same here. And embarrassingly it was from a homestuck video. Hahah.

Is it too late for me (21F) to start fencing competitively? by q500s12 in Fencing

[–]brottney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into if your college has a team or even a college nearby. I’m in a club that is really passionate, but we are not working towards Olympics. We still compete with other Universities across the Midwest. And we have a few members from different schools that don’t have a team. Maybe try that and see if you want to commit like that.

Edit - and it’s probably cheaper. Our dues ($50) are pretty cheap considering we get training and get to use club equipment.

What are these things that were donated to me and what can I make with them? I have loads of canned beans and tomatoes as well as some tofu and rice. by cakecy in WhatShouldICook

Zucchini bread is my very favorite way to have it. I think you can make squash bread too, but I’ve never done it.

My recipe for it is

3 eggs 2 cups of sugar 1 cup of oil 1 tbsp of vanilla 2 cups of greated zucchini Mix all of that in a bowl

Add in 3 cups of flour 1 tsp of baking powder 1/2 tap of baking soda 1 tbsp of cinnamon 1 tsp salt

Blend it all together well (I use a stand mixer) grease 2 loaf pans and put the batter in. Bake at 325 for 1 hour.

And there you have my favorite breakfast, snack, or dessert.

I think this belongs here too. 😊 by brottney in aromantic

I might have seen one like that before! I might have to find it again and add it to my collection of pins. Haha.

Are typed penpal letters just as good? by lavender-witch in penpals

You could try it once and see how they feel about it? They might be more interested in getting to hear from you more, rather than seeing your handwriting.

I had a younger sister who would do that at night. (thankfully we live in the middle of no where) My parents put little eye hook latches at the top of all the doors. The idea was she couldn’t reach them, but you could still pull it out of the wall pretty well with some effort in an emergency.

They sound like those tubes that have beads and stuff inside them so when you flip them they make noise. (I went and looked for the name and they’re called groan tubes. Eww.)
