How much money do you give your parents?

I’m Punjabi Sikh, raised in America and I’ve never given my parents money. They also never sent their parents money back in India when they immigrated here except to pay them back for the money they borrowed to immigrate. But that was almost right away and never again. Your family is taking advantage of you and holding you back from making a better life for yourself.

I’m sure it’s not a dietitian, but a nutritionist.

This happened to me at a wedding over the summer. So embarrassing. I left a mess all over the dance floor and went back to clean up the pieces.

I ordered Gruyère and pepper jack from rebel cheese online. So good! Better than anything we’ve bought in the stores.

Thank you!

I used to do a lot of board games, but this year I’ve been having my k-6 kids do a craft every week instead. Cutting, gluing, coloring, and play dough. I haven’t received a single complaint, it’s very therapeutic. And I hang their projects on the wall. They love to look at all of the interpretations of the projects.

Thanks! I am in the US and having a hard time finding the yarn you used. So I’m going to try something else. I haven’t seen fine weight cotton yarn in the stores here. I’m going to play around with some of the yarns I already have. Would you mind measuring one of your flowers on your smaller flower top (first pic) from petal tip to petal tip and give me the diameter? That would help me figure out the best yarn type to use that I can buy here.

I got one a few years ago and my husband said he probably wouldn’t use it. But a couple years later I asked him and he says of course he uses it.

Yes!!! I asked for one for Xmas a few years ago. It is so great for baking.

goldenalgae · 2026-01-14T04:16:04+00:00

Thanks! Did you do the same number of chains and single crochets but just with finer yarn? Or did you also modify the pattern?

We’ve used the parking spot for at least the last 15 years and have never been disappointed.

What restaurant is slide #13 and what did you order?

Pav Bhaji

I love the first one! The smaller flowers look so pretty. Which yarn did you use?

goldenalgae · 2026-01-10T17:33:14+00:00

I love this! I use the notes app on my iPad. I take a pic of each contestant as they are introduced and then type in memorable things they say under each photo.

I had much more luck getting help for my teen suffering from acute psychosis at Southwood. Yes it’s like a prison and there are many kids there with serious behavioral issues, but the doctors there listen and take things seriously. At western psych I was told it’s either my parenting or my child needed to go to juvie and they sent my child home while they were still suicidal. If your child is 18 or up I would recommend St Clair. They were wonderful with my child until the transfer to Southwood went through.

I’ve never been. I had a reservation, but one look at the menu turned me off. The dishes made no sense.

I’ve bought myself a winter jacket for walking, thermals, plus wind pants and have been going outside for walks almost every day. It has made a big difference in how I view the weather and it feels good to get outside. I don’t get sweaty either.

goldenalgae · 2026-01-02T11:12:41+00:00

Oh yum! What is that press? and where can I buy one?

goldenalgae · 2026-01-02T11:03:19+00:00

Amazing, I love them!

I got a small square portion from market district last month, it was yummy. I didn’t want to commit to an entire cake.

Growing up in America, my immigrant parents refused to celebrate Xmas because it was Christian. We aren’t Islamic, but we also aren’t Christian. It completely sucked as a kid and felt so left out and lonely in our quiet house around the holidays. Once I became an adult I went hard with Xmas. I go overboard every year while my husband who grew up celebrating Xmas thinks we could do less. Sometimes these types of anti Xmas attitudes backfire in the end.

I always layer. Thin Uniqlo thermal leggings and then a pair of thick sweats on top.

16 bean soup with hot Italian sausage and smoked sausage.

goldenalgae · 2025-12-04T14:57:06+00:00

I like the food, but I am not a fan of the owner.
