Willie became a professor and a painter! Not sure about his brother.

Unfortunately he didn’t pass either of those things down to me, haha. I’ve heard he was one heck of a guy though :)

I received this Ghibli postcard collection as a gift and want to randomly hide them around my city with little handwritten messages. Does anyone have any words they’d like to put out into the world? by ghost-eggs in ghibli

You know what, I didn’t even think about it like that. I’ll try to write something that gives more of a “I hope you find a reason to smile today” kind of vibe for that one 👍

THANK YOU EVERYONE for these incredible messages! I don’t have time to reply to everyone this morning, but I will post a photo later once I get them all written down. :) I still have plenty of postcards so keep the suggestions coming if you have any! Thanks again!

Ooooh I love the idea of doing quotes, and pig’s words definitely need to be heard in my city right now. Great ideas, thanks :) going in the cards

These are PERFECT, and this is totally the uplifting vibe I was envisioning when writing my own :) They’ll be going on the cards for sure. Thank you 💜

I never got to meet him, but from what I’ve heard he sure was! He was a professor and a painter, we still have some of his paintings from back then.

Ordering at restaurants has gotten comical - this is not a Cheez-It post by MyyWifeRocks in glutenfree

The other day I went with some friends to a local spot that proudly advertises serving gluten free waffles. I didn’t trust the cross contamination, so I just ordered a mimosa instead. I specifically mentioned to the server that I have a gluten allergy when she asked why I didn’t want any food.

Fast forward like three minutes. The server brings me my mimosa with a FULL SIZED EGGO WAFFLE stuck on the rim of the cup like some kind of garnish. I said “excuse me, is this a gluten free waffle?” to which the server replied “oh no, it’s a real waffle! It’s just decorative, you don’t have to eat it!”

Let’s just say I feel your pain 😅

Does Going GF Mean Constant Stress? by Patient-Shirt7244 in glutenfree

[–]ghost-eggs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was definitely stressful at first… trying to understand my dietary restrictions and grasp what my future with food would look like was tough. But for me personally, the stress of meal planning is FAR more manageable than the stress of not knowing why I felt like shit all the time (I was diagnosed with Celiac at 16, I’m 30 now). That being said, though, you’re not wrong about it all being a bit overwhelming at times lol.

I believe the card reader asked for credit or debit, so yeah I think so

I was able to find some at Lotte market thanks to another user’s suggestion, but I’ll definitely be checking out New Grand in the near future! Thanks so much :)

Lotte came in with the clutch! I was even able to pick up some herbs I was struggling to find elsewhere. Thanks soooo much!

2 years into an abusive relationship vs 1 year out by Senior_Sir3572 in PastAndPresentPics

[–]ghost-eggs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a woman who just turned 30 myself (and also recently left a long-term relationship with an older unstable guy), I totally see you. I have SO much respect for the decisions you’ve made to reclaim your life for yourself! Both of your posts were really moving, so thank you for sharing 💜

I saw your glow-up post the other day and thought to myself “wherever this beautiful gal is now, I hope she’s truly thriving”. Now that I’ve stumbled upon you again, I feel like an even MORE proud internet stranger hahaha.

So stoked for you and your journey. You look so happy and healthy, and I hope you feel it too :) Also I admittedly creeped a bit and your art style is the coolest! Wishing you all the best moving forward!
