It’s become my inadvertent tradition to post here annually but I thought I’d let the good people here know that my boyfriend and I are still going strong!

Tl;dr on our relationship: he made a post on another sub, I replied to it, he dmed me, we became friends for two years before meeting in person and confessing our feelings for one another and the rest is history!

We started off long distance, I moved to his hometown, we just moved to my hometown about a month and a half ago, we got two cats, and we’ve had a lot of ups and downs but I wouldn’t want to do it with anyone else! Love you to the moon and back u/Eternal_Shitshow 🥰

I was cleaning underneath my son’s computer desk today and decided to count how many empty water bottles were underneath it. It filled a whole garbage bag. This is his response when finding out how many were underneath. I laughed so hard out loud

I could never remember this at all let alone thirty years later

Reminded of this by an earlier post... Found the pic. 🤬 🕊️ 😂

That’s all

Yesterday, my 4 year old daughter and I made pumpkin cookies together and had a great time. Today, we decided to do it again and make some for the extended family.

We picked up some ready to bake pumpkin cookie dough and were going to make them together like we did yesterday.

Before we started, she very seriously declared that she was a big girl and wanted to do everything herself. I said sure, and only thing I did to help was to open the package and lay down the parchment sheet.

I gently reminded her of the steps, showed her the picture on the package so she could see what they were supposed to look like, and walked away.

About 10 minutes later, she came to find me.

“Daddy, I’m done!”

“Awesome! Let’s put them in the oven.”

We walked back to the kitchen table and discovered that instead of dividing the dough into individual cookies like we did yesterday, she had created one absolutely gigantic pumpkin cookie.

I looked at it.

She looked at me.

I said, “Okay. Let’s see what happens.”

And I didn't touch it. No dividing it up, no reshaping it, no adjustments. She made her cookie exactly the way she wanted to, and I was proud of her for doing the whole thing herself.

So into the oven went The Cookie.

The package says 14 to 18 minutes, although I'm fairly certain those instructions assume you aren't baking one enormous unified cookie mass. It ended up being a solid 18 minutes.

Either way, a cookie by any other shape is still a cookie.

I took this video not long ago, but have come back to it so many times because it's so moving. Raymond Rice is a father and a husband in search of a life-saving gift that money can't buy. Only the heroic act of another person.
