years from now when asked about fave parenting, I’ll relay last night when my child woke up for a “snuggle” and went back to sleep safely ♥️

I own a small bakery. Business has been slow. Rent is up. I was thinking about closing.
Last Friday, a teenager came in. He looked nervous. He counted out change for a cookie. He was short 50 cents.
"It's okay," I said. "Take it."
He ate it at a table, looking at his math homework. He looked stuck.
I used to be a math tutor.
I walked over. "Quadratic equations?"
He nodded. "I don't get it."
I sat down and helped him for 20 minutes. He got it. He left smiling.
The next day, he came back with two friends. They bought cookies.
The day after that, five kids came.
Apparently, he told the school, "The lady at the bakery helps with homework."
Now, my bakery is the after-school hang-out spot. It's loud. It's messy. There are backpacks everywhere.
Yesterday, I found a note in the tip jar. It was wrapped around a $20 bill.
"Thanks for helping my son pass math. A Mom."
I'm not closing the bakery.
I think I finally found my purpose.
It's not cookies. It's community.

My wife just asked me what I want for my birthday next month.
I said I don't need anything.
This is a trap I set for myself every year.
If I say I don't need anything, she'll get me something she thinks I need. Which is usually clothes or "an experience" like tickets to something.
I don't want clothes or experiences. I want the new iPad Pro.
But I can't say I want the new iPad Pro because I just got a MacBook "for work" two months ago (that lives at my house).
So I'll wait a week and casually mention that my current iPad is "getting slow" and "probably needs to be replaced soon."
She'll suggest I get it through work. I'll say "IT equipment purchases are frozen right now, budget constraints."
This is a lie. But it's a necessary lie.
Then she'll suggest maybe that's what she could get me for my birthday. I'll reluctantly agree.
She'll think it was her idea. I'll get exactly what I want.
Marriage is just long-term negotiation with someone who knows all your tactics but loves you anyway.

Based on just what I've seen so far in Ep 1 - this could collectively be the worse women's team EVER 🤦♂️

Smart lady, she's seen this show before.
Sam Fender is a credit to the music world - eagerly anticipating the new album - the lyrics “I’ll pray you’ll remember my name” has resonated with me since seeing the sneak preview he did a demo of in the pub

Starting to believe Gigs And Tours is just a picture on the internet to be honest.

Congratulations @TicketmasterUK - nobody’s caused this much chaos on social media since Cuthbert got jailed

There has got to be a fairer, simpler, more efficient way of selling tickets that isn’t so open to touts, scammers, resellers & bots 🤯
