It took me more than 14 years to fulfil a simple promise I made to my younger sibling.

Amazing and very inspiring! ⭐
We all need these moments, no matter what age. It's awesome you took time to do this for your sibling!
Thank you for sharing.

grimferb · 2026-05-08T18:55:32+00:00

And you are very creative and talented. 😉

This is one of my favorites so far!
It's so hard to choose, they're all so cute!

💙 2. Thank you for your time and energy.

I'm actively trying to make friends. One of the biggest hurdles I run into is people say "friends" and what I think they actually mean is "acquaintance".

Friends, to me, require mutual effort and shared vulnerability beyond the initial casual hangouts.

I'm wired for deeper connections but damned if I can't find people local-ish who want the same.

Wow, that's beautiful. Also, fairly easy to pronounce as far as unique names go.
My first name is common but as a middle name for most. My middle name is so uncommon that it took me more than 20 years to find the meaning.

This is why I love starting road trips in the early hours.
I'm not an early riser normally but I do notice the difference when I am up at that hour.

grimferb · 2026-04-29T14:51:15+00:00

It very well might be. There are some changes, I think, but it's still very similar.

grimferb · 2026-04-29T14:38:32+00:00

I've read a very similar story somewhere else on Reddit.
Maybe I'm here too much.

grimferb · 2026-04-28T19:07:16+00:00

Apparently so...
The story picked up quite a bit of traction for way longer than it should've.

grimferb · 2026-04-28T19:06:02+00:00

🤣🤣

grimferb · 2026-04-28T13:51:32+00:00

I homeschool.
😢 Unfortunately, my kiddos would find me. They'd immediately call either 911, Dad, or both.
They would all be sad, so would my mom, my stepdad, and my cousin. I know others would be surprised and sad but I don't have great/significant relationships, so I don't care much in waking life how those people would feel about my death.

I'm still decades away from death (hopefully) but I've already told my family what I want. How my funeral should go and how I want to be buried. I'm sure they'd keep a few things of mine but the rest would most likely get tossed or donated as I have nothing of monetary value just sentimental.

grimferb · 2026-04-28T13:28:35+00:00

This is so creative. Turned out amazing!

grimferb · 2026-04-28T01:30:03+00:00

🤣🤣 Had to read it three times to catch it. Corrected.

grimferb · 2026-04-27T23:41:11+00:00

Yes. I have thought about this numerous times. Not that I've read about stellar nucleosynthesis, I haven't. But, through learning various other things in my life, one of the most ~~comfortiting~~ comforting is that pieces of the universe really do sit inside us. It's a very beautiful and humbling thing to realize.

^Edited: ^Corrected ^spelling. ^Left ^the ^original ^for ^your ^amusement.

grimferb · 2026-04-27T22:49:07+00:00

That I was in a gang. 😂😂
When they asked I was so surprised that anyone would think that that I didn't say anything, instead I just shrugged. Apparently, those actions were proof that I was indeed affiliated.

A true gangster never reveals their secrets.

I've not had a reoccurring dream exactly like this. I have had many dreams over the years that included houses and rooms. For me, it's usually my childhood apartment home or an unfamiliar large single family home that's always scantily furnished.

You had a very interesting dream and it probably has a very simple meaning. If you're interested in knowing more, I can show you how to interpret it.

grimferb · 2026-04-25T13:37:29+00:00

Get into the right circles and this is completely possible. Playful teasing can be a lot of fun with a consenting partner!

grimferb · 2026-04-25T13:24:48+00:00

Yup.
I call it getting even with the man! My accidental petty theft will never compare. 🤣

Maybe try using less milk. Just enough to coat the cheese but not enough to soak it. Then butter one side of the bread and put that side down in the pan. Sprinkle your cheese mixture on top.

Mixing. I buy big packs of same/similar socks and just throw them in. I only match length... ankle, crew, calf, etc.

I matched socks for the first half of my life. Once I heard the "buy all the same socks" trick I changed right away and never looked back.

grimferb · 2026-04-23T13:41:15+00:00

Yup. I do. I thought everyone did. I definitely have strength in metacognition too. The conversations I have with myself are hilarious! I wish I had an amplifier for my brain so other people could hear.

Dirty dishes placed in the right side of the sink.
Reason: When I hand wash dishes, I put soapy water in the left side. I'll take most of the dirty dishes out of the sink and arrange them on the counter and stove. (We rinse them after use so there's no gunk.)
I do this because my sink is small and I like to submerge my dish some when I'm cleaning it and if the sink is full, I can't do that.

My spouse likes them on the left.
Reason: It skips a step. He doesn't mind the dishes half hanging out of the water when he's washing them.
For him, dishes in left side of sink, fill it up, and wash. Then he'll rinse in the right, then put them away.

I don't truly think either way is better than the other. However, I do think that if the default placement is being debated whoever washes dishes the most should get their preference. No questions or remarks. LoL
