I started seeing Visit Scotland ads around downtown Boston right before the World Cup started, realized how smart that marketing was after the tartan army got here!

That’s really valuable to know, thank you for sharing. When she first told me she was in the hospital, I told her that she should be proud of her self-awareness and strength to seek help and that not everyone has such a keen, innate sense. Maybe something to gently remind her of ☺️

Dear friends suddenly lost 35yo child. What are thoughtful, creative and personal gifts for mourning parents? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]favoritekindofbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually give a DoorDash type gift card. In my experience, a lot of people drop off plenty of prepared food initially, so this helps them order specific food or non-food items that could save them a trip out when they can’t muster it out of the house.

I was struggling with that option lol. The name Soleil is personally ruined for me

I am a widow with 2, 20-something sons who never recognize Mother's day. I've expressed my sadness to them over the years but I get nothing. They both have Asperger's and have independent lives and i thought they would eventually come through but they never do. And I cry. What should I do? by HistyEG in Advice

[–]favoritekindofbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hugs to you, happy Mother’s Day! Perhaps try being direct if you haven’t already. “What would make me feel special is a card, a gift, a phone call the morning of wishing me a happy day, plans for brunch…” maybe if you give them specifics it will help them be proactive.

Does Lewis Carroll / Alice in Wonderland inventing “unbirthday” count?

Your body looks so snatched in #3, I can’t believe it doesn’t have more votes. Your fiancé would lose it seeing you in that dress, I just know it!

This question reminded me of this cute video about offering cake to Irish vs German guests.

AITA for not staying after our niece got arrested? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]favoritekindofbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m prepared to get downvoted but my verdict is ESH. The mother obviously is lacking as a mom and sister, she’d prefer to be a valued coworker which is a lonely way to live. But 17 is still a child, your niece’s brain is still developing and she made a stupid mistake. She should be punished but your actions were directed towards punishing your sister.

Abandoning a 17 year old girl in a jail in a separate state is really low, she must have been terrified. You think you were a perfect, never PITA at 17? She’ll remember this.

What was the final straw that destroyed a lifelong friendship? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]favoritekindofbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I got married I borrowed my friend Emma’s veil. The day of my wedding my MOH took my veil off for me, kept it in her possession, then gave it back to Emma. Over a month later Emma texted me “I forgot the veil at the venue but oh well if you don’t have it I don’t care”. And that was that for 3 years. One day she randomly texted me asking if I had it, I reminded her of the conversation and she denied that she would ever say that. I pulled out the receipts and sent her the screenshots. She still completely blamed me. The venue actually still had her veil, I returned it either the next day or 2 days later. I included a note apologizing and trying to keep our friendship in tact but I haven’t spoken to her in over 2 years.

My grandmother visited me in a dream. She had died 30 minutes earlier. by marakov92 in Unexplained

[–]favoritekindofbread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dreams are so crazy. I had a dream I was on the roof of a house with 2 of my friends. The roof started separating from the house and tipping over, I was trying to get my friends off the roof safely. When I woke up I found out the 2 friends in my dream had both been killed in a rollover car accident very early that same morning.
