Hey everyone!

Long story short, my parents recently had to get a new oven, as the one that had been in their house the last 20 years finally gave out.

It’s become an issue during the holiday season because my mother is a baker and loves making cookies and other baked goods during the holiday season. Baking is a hobby for her.

She’s discovered that this new oven leaves her baked goods either oily on the outside, as though ingredients are separating while baking (like has happened to cookies she’s trying to make) or hard and difficult to cut through AND oily (like the fudge she makes this time of year).

She had cancer last year, and it stopped her from being able to bake as often as sh

As I walk these familiar paths,

Back to my car,

Alone,

I can’t help but look around me.

I see the smiles,

The people all fluttering around,

Voices raised excitedly.

And yet my world is muted,

As though I’m seeing it all through glass.

I see them all together,

I see the smiles and the joy,

And I wonder what that’s like.

I remember when I felt infinite,

When I felt like everything was falling into place.

I was finally on the inside.

And then it all fell apart,

And I realized

I had been seeing it wrong the entire time;

I was on the outside looking in

The whole time.

So as I walk alone,

Back to my car in the cold,

I look around and see into a world

I ca

I can’t help but remember you when I look up at the night sky. I remember a time not so long, though it feels like an eternity, when we would’ve been out underneath those blazing curtains of night; a time when I used to count the beats of my heart and my enraptured breaths as I was with you. As the moonlight turned you from a brilliant gold to a serene and silent silver, you became something out of my wildest dreams. You embodied the night to me; our secret meetings under the cover of darkness, the white light of the moon that you reflected, the way your eyes came alive like the blanket of stars above us. I used to count my breaths the beat of my heart around you; and then I counted on you.

As I drive past the verdant fields

in the haze of the drying dew,

I can’t help but let my mind slip back to you.

All the late nights, conversations,

days and nights spent together,

all on repeat as I wonder.

Am I reading into this,

am I giving too much weight to your words;

to the sly compliments slipped into discussions,

to the embraces and the soul-felt ‘I love you’s’?

Have I misjudged the feelings,

letting my breathlessness and pounding heart

drown out and deafen my common sense?

I try to keep my focus but your eyes,

radiant blue stars blinding my senses,

the sun highlighting your blond halo,

that familiar smile that feels like home,

confounds my senses

Hey everyone!

So I have a friend I’ve known for a while, and he’s expressed interest in photography. It started off with digital photography, but last week he talked a lot about his desire to start analog photography, and the way his face lit up when he talked about it and the film developing process was just totally amazing and I could tell he was genuinely interested in this area!

Unfortunately I know nothing about analog photography, prior to my discussion with him I didn’t even know what that term meant (I asked him if that was where the photographer put the sheet over their heads and took the photo like back in the 1800s).

Can anyone point me towards a good beginner starting camer

Just came from Dylan Sprayberry’s (Liam Dunbar) Instagram live, where he seemed to confirm Liam is returning in the Teen Wolf movie this year.

He read off a comment asking him about his participation and said something to the effect of “yeah, I’m probably going to be in the movie. Should be a fun time.”

Thought you all would want to know the movie is on his radar and it’s likely he will be reprising his role!

Hey all,

I just got CK3 today, and I need to change the line of succession, but I have no idea how to move to absolute crown authority… any help for me there would be appreciated!

So, I’ll go ahead and introduce myself a bit.

Hi, I’m a type 8w7, the maverick type. My dominant subtype is self-preservation, the secondary subtype being social, the counter type.

I was wondering, what is the best way to stop the dryness, flaking, and burning that comes with the intense dryness? That’s why I had to abandon my last few attempts to grow a beard, but now I’m invested and really want this to work.

So good beard routines, best products to use, etc.?

I once climbed to the fourth floor, For better or for worse I wasn’t sure. As gently on the sofa I reclined You sat so near me, and all was fine.

Four floors above the place we met, Four floors and the courtyard I won’t forget. My heart your honest eyes did sway. You stole my night, brought forth the day.

The fourth story window we looked out of Watching people scurry, hurry, buzz. They weren’t with us, it was our world alone; Alone with you, and in your arms, felt like home.

The seasons changed, unbidden. And after all I lost, with you I stayed hidden. We left that fourth story window behind But when I happen across it, I smile inside.

Life pulled you away a
