Bite a breeder today. Let’s hear it for the shelter pups! Good dawgzies.
dog breeders aren't always bad, a lot of times dogs for specialty jobs like rescue dogs, blind aid dogs, medical alert dogs, bomb sniffing dogs, etc, they want very specific things and breeders play an important role in that. A farmer is going to a breeder for his herding dogs for a reason. Just separate the ethical breeders from the shady sleezy ones

These two are absolutely gorgeous! He's very lucky to have them, and they him.
Interesting, the whole human dissapeared and still not even 1 brain cell difference between these images...
Load More Replies...If he had such an issue with her weight why go out with her? Just to make her life s****y?
He was probably "negging" her. Luckily she didn't fall his his stupid tricks.
Load More Replies...Good for you girl! But remember that your weight is still dangerous for your health :(
Friendly reminder that overweight people live with their weight every single day and do know more about their weight related problems than other people. There is absolutely no need to remind them or anyone about that. If you are worried about someone you know, offer to do activities with them that can help them loose weight.
Load More Replies...How awesome! Imagine knowing you've touched someone like that. And for him to let her know -- I just have the happy feels right now.
It's totally free to say thank you, or give someone a commendation. And sometimes, they even get a raise out of it.

Having recently lost my husband, this one hit me in the feels pretty hard.
My late Grandma suffered Alzheimer’s and she was in a secure home for many years, they had a hairdresser / barber who visited every fortnight. The residents energy changed on that day and for a few days afterwards. There were mirrors at strategic points around the home and when they caught sight of themselves you could see a reconnection with something deep inside. We all feel a little bit better after we’ve had a haircut or had our hair tended to, it’s a simple self care thing that gives us a boost. Having another human pay attention to us and care for us recharges us a bit too, you feel valued. That’s missing for a lot of senior citizens or people who are isolated.
Often, wholesomeness hits that much harder when we least expect it. It’s an unfortunate reality, that interacting with a business can be exhausting and time-consuming, when it comes to refunds, sorting out shipping issues and replacements, and any other customer service topics. So when a company makes “going above and beyond” not just the purview of a hardworking employee, but policy, people tend to notice.
Take Zappos, the American online shoe and clothing retailer. Beyond a commitment to customer convenience, like a 365-day return policy and free shipping on a number of transactions, the company rewards workers who go the extra mile for their customers. For example, they reportedly had a 10:29 hour customer service call, when a client forgot about a return request when a loved one unexpectedly passed. Zappos sent a replacement for free and some flowers, after waiting on the line.
I love how we were all wondering why it was illegal to have the dog be the flower girl at the wedding and not because it was a same sex couple.
Load More Replies...Same!! Though I have two cats and a dog - if I ever got married, I'd have to hold a Battle Royale to who would get to be the Flower Animal XD
Load More Replies...Yeah, that’s completely perfect, as far as a picture goes
Load More Replies...The comments where we're all wondering why it would be illegal for a dog to be a flower girl and not noticing the couple were both women is THE perfect start to Pride Month!
I didn't even notice it was a same sex wedding until I started reading the comments here and went back to take a closer look at the photos. All is saw was beauty.
To be honest, at first glance I only looked at the dog, wondering why would a dog being a flower girl ever be an illegal thing!
Load More Replies...What a stunning photograph! I love the dog as the flower girl. Congratulations to the lovely couple.
Metal fans are some of THE NICEST people. Love this pic, and happy to have seen other situations like this at concerts 🤘
Except the part where he says her body is mine, like Ik he means that he helped create the children in there but still
Load More Replies...C'mon y'all. You know he wouldn't hesitate to say that his body is her's. There's nothing possessive about it. It's complete, 100% mutual selflessness.
My wife sent me this not long ago. I can identify. Still captivating is a great way to put it.
Even the non-human world is actually full of wholesome moments if you just know where to look. The animal kingdom, for example, is chock full of things that make us go “aww,” but most people stop at kittens and puppies. But all sorts of animals do things that are both fascinating and deeply cute. Otters holding hands is a classic, but did you know that honey bees have dance-offs?
it's a pressure cook, slowcooker, convection cooker, etc, all in one. It does each of those jobs, just not as good as a dedicated device for it, but it does each one well enough and saves a ton on space. Plus its highly automatated with the settings, making it easy to use
Load More Replies...I love my instant pot. I wasn't able to cook really at all until a few years ago when my sister got me one as a gift. I love mine and use it all the time. It makes great curries. I used to live on mostly premade stuff and while I still buy them a bit, I cook quite a lot more now. I was given the one with an air fryer lid and it's truly the most useful gift I've ever gotten.
For a second, I thought she died while giving birth, then gave birth AGAIN 28 years later lol
Same here! I was thinking 'wow that's a big age gap between her children.'
Load More Replies...My sister did something very similar. Baby girl dies during birth. Resuscitation efforts are abandoned by doctor. Attending nurse (my sister) keeps trying, against doctor’s orders. Nurse brings girl back. 20 plus years later, my sister was the guest of honor at the girl’s college graduation. She is a nurse now.
Was she pregnant for 28 years? Or was it her daughter giving birth to her grandchild? 😂
This makes me think of that absolutely overwhelming scene in the documentary For Sama. I takes place in Aleppo, Syria, in the middle of the civil war and the constant bombings from the government (with active support of the Russian army). A 9 months pregnant woman is wounded and arrives at the clandestine hospital. She's unconscious. They decide to practice a C-section which seems to be the only way to save both mother and child. They extract the baby, pale, soft and motionless - in other words he just looks dead. They try all they can to make him react, for a solid minute at least. Nothing. And finally he opens his eyes and takes a breath. You MUST see this movie, people. Everything in it is like that, shot on extreme, urgent and uncertain conditions, on the border between life and death. You'll never forget it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsvBqtg2RM0
That’s when infants’ lives actually meant something. Today, they’re being killed at an alarming rate!!!
I 100% was like, holy s**t, me too! But then I realized she was the baby in the scenario. I lost consciousness within minutes of delivery from massive hemorrhaging 😵💫
That's awesome to know, I hope they become a couple! If he had the courage to ask her then he's already on a better level! By the way, american pandas, are your schools as bad as the movies show? Is all bullying and different groups?
I went to school in the 80s/90s and I can tell you yes, it was absolutely like that then. Not sure how it is now. I was a member of the unofficial Loser's Group in every single school I went to, and was bullied for my name (Crystal) and my hair (I look like a Chia Pet.) All the girls were in cliques/groups, so I only had boys as friends, and the popular/athletic boys were all in their OWN cliques/groups, so my friends were my fellow nerds XD Some of the best AND worst times of my life, tbh. I can't imagine it's changed at all, except to have gotten worse, with the rise of social media - now kids can bully their classmates anonymously online/via text.
Load More Replies...I always wonder about these. Yeah, it took a lot of courage to ask her, and if she genuinely likes him, then that's wonderful. However, I wonder about unintended consequences - when does a nice gesture become pity? I hope for a happy ending, but I worry that this sort of thing follows around the (for want of a better word) "lesser" of the two as them being the one who received a gesture out of pity.
It’s okay to be nice to someone, or have someone be nice to you, without having any further expectations. Just Friendship is a wonderful thing.
Load More Replies...I think she also realized the courage it took for him to do that. The sweet thought he put into it. A true gentleman. He really wanted her to go with him. It meant the world, and so he risked it. So many people don’t. Hey you self-centered jocks! Look who got the girl this time.
Cows also maintain friendships and like to hang out with their best friends whenever they can. Even more committed, penguins, along with a lot of other birds, mate for life, and will even “propose” to a mate, often with a pebble. Of course, some birds really do take it to the extreme when it comes to impressing a potential mate, for example, building art displayed, fighting rivals, or even very intense forms of dance.
This message is lovely, but I have one issue with it. When I was at the point of planning my own demise, there wasn't any way anyone could convince me that life was worth living. Sometimes giving people a reason to live outside of themselves is the one lifeline they need.
I second that. Knowing that other people needed me helped me through deep depression and suicide attempts. It was a lifeline and had nothing to do with guilt or anything. I just didn't want to hurt people I loved and cared about.
Load More Replies...While true, some people are holding on because they don't want to hurt the people they love. It's a real case-by-case thing.
I really, really understand and appreciate the sentiment, and I understand why people say it. I just wish people could understand: The ONLY reason I'm alive is because I don't want to hurt people. But I'll be honest with you: this isn't living. I'm not really "alive". I suffer bipolar disorder. I've been suicidally depressed since I was 8 years old. There's a part of me that wishes I were just that last tiny bit more mentally ill so that I'd be able to bring this horror show to an end. I wish I didn't know how mentally ill I am. I wish I didn't know I was loved and needed. I wouldn't wish this on the worst, most evil person on the world. I have to agree with others: don't remind a suicidal person of all the loved ones who will be hurt. Don't remind them how loved they are, needed they are, how much it will hurt to lose them. Please just let them go in peace.
Load More Replies...As someone whose partner (and father of my firstborn) and stepfather committed suicide this is spot on. I've also been in hospital after attempts and the worse thing I've been told numerous times by psychiatric staff is 'but what about your wonderful children? You have so much to be grateful for.' Made me just feel more guilty and like I was a fraud. What people need is therapy and gentle empowerment as well as coping strategies and support services outside of times of crisis- unfortunately here in the UK once you're past the absolute crisis point you're dropped like a hot potato with little to no follow up
Its worse in USA, especially in the " pioneer" states. There is now way to have someone commited unless they are *actively* a danger to themselves or others. Screaming " I am going to kill myself" is not grounds unless you have a weapon in your hand. I know someone who wss having a crisis, was do delusional they couldnt feed themselves and the hospital kept them less than 24 hours.
Load More Replies...i've struggled with suicidal thoughts myself, and this makes me happy to read. i like knowing that i'm allowed to live for my own sake. i am alive because i like listening to my favorite song. it makes me feel like everything will be okay, and that is a completely valid reason to keep living
thank you for saying this it had an impact on me somehow
Load More Replies...The best thing you can do for someone that's suicidal is to listen to them. Listen without judgement, listen without trying to "fix them".
This was the basis of my suicide prevention training; listening without judgment and validating someone's feelings are very important to making someone feel understood, and can make them more open to the idea of getting help.
Load More Replies...yeah! as someone who had suicidal thoughts and considered suicide, i can personally assure you that telling someone it’ll make others sad does not work. it just makes them want to die faster
The best thing I ever read was that it's not really a wish to die, it's a wish for the pain to stop. That relieved a lot of the guilt I had around my thoughts. It isn't death, but the absence of pain, that a suicidal person wants. It didn't stop the pain or make it easier, but I understood the thoughts more
I get this. I want to/don’t want to die. I just want all this c**p in my head to shut up. I have bipolar II Disorder. For the days or weeks I wake up & I’m good, I always think “Maybe this time it will stick. I’ll be ok for good this time”. I know it won’t, but I so want it to be. I live on a rollercoaster & there are no more meds to go to. It’s truly on me. As for what it would do to loved ones, I can only speak for myself. In the 90’s a dear friend I worked with committed suicide. I will not go into the complexities of before & after, but it was so painful. Then, an MD I worked with, whom I had cared for shortly before he committed suicide. Again not going into all of it. His death effected hundreds of people (patients who loved him). I can’t look at his picture. Finally, my next door neighbour. Three. Times. For my nephew I will exist in the fires of hell for eternity if that’s what it takes. His life is beautiful with a baby daughter on the way. I won’t do it to him.
Load More Replies...I was once told that suicide is the most selfish thing a person can do. The person who said it didn't quite realize what they were saying. Suicide is the opposite of selfish, it's someone believing that they have so little worth, or so little left, that its best for everyone if they are no longer living. Its is the safest thing, not selfish in the slightest
My last landlord was this nice! When Covid first happened, our shop got closed down for like 2 months. Our landlord gave us 6 months off rent and offered groceries if we needed it. They were also happy and proud of us when we were able to move out and buy our own home
Oh my God this is so heartwarming! Not that emotive but the other day I thought "if I should get the bus instead of the subway than it will arrive as soon as I get to the stop", not only it did, but I also caught a red light that helped me getting to the bus stop the same time the bus did.
Squirrels and bats both have social systems to take care of orphans. Squirrels will adopt babies whose parents have died and carry them around like their own offspring. Various species of bats do the same, while the most organized version are “bat orphanages,” where groups of bats roost together and females come to feed orphaned babies. These are highly social animals with a pretty advanced solution to this problem.
This one always makes me smile. At times, I think everyone needs laughing luggage.
My son does this too it's hilarious. He got this little spy kit to look around corners and he hides directly behind me standing up behind the couch in plain view peaking through the lens. I keep saying things about hoping no one is spying on me as he stands there giggling super loud.
All fun and games until the luggage stops laughing because of the lack of air!
I'm sure the father left the zipper open so their child could breathe.
Load More Replies...My cat likes to try to get packed with my luggage. Anytime she sees a suitcase on my bed, she will climb right in and settle herself.
this could be cute, but all i see is that woman that zipped her boyfriend in a suitcase, playing hid and seek, then recorded herself telling him 'this is what you get' and left him to die while she took a nap. i just cant unsee that
I hate to be that guy, but in the UK that bill would be $0. Total. Ever. And as a diabetic, all his other prescriptions would be free for life too.
And our government pays less per capita for healthcare than the US government does too. So the government is spending more over there and yet most people still have to pay huge bills.
Load More Replies...Yes it is. Assuming that this plays out in the USA I can't, for the life of me, understand why one of the wealthiest countries in the world lets their citizens die for lack of affordable insulin. Shame on all who stand in the way of universal healthcare!
Load More Replies...And it would cost less than $10 a 30 day supply if we just got rid of 2 pieces of regulation that affect high medicine prices in the US, but that politicians don't want to remove. Professor Robin Feldman outlines this in her book "Drug Wars: How Big Pharma Raises Prices & Keeps Generics Off the Market" we would lower the prices on dozens of meds with that. High Prices are the fault of congress
Diabetes is scary. My husband was feeling ill and as I am driving him to the ER, he is making jokes. I wondered if he really was sick. We got there and they put him in a wheel chair and he suddenly went unconscious. From totally normal and feeling sick to almost a coma. He was lucky it was just a faint. Scared me though. Turned out to be Type 2 Diabetes. That was 9 years ago and he is on insulin daily ever since. Luckily he has good health insurance with his job. The US sucks big time.
That will never happen. The insurance industry and its lobbyists pay a lot of many to many legislatures across the country. There are also lobbying groups for Big Pharma and then you have hospitals that are owned by investors. Big money, Wall St. types. Until we get rid of Dark Money and outlaw corporations as donors to politicians, the US will continue to decline as a society. And yes, I'm an American.
Load More Replies...Some people have to pay $12000 for something that literally keeps them alive?!?!
It is so heartbreaking that so many people have to forego life-saving operations and/or medications because healthcare in the United States is absolutely bonkers and horrible. Families should not have to bankrupt themselves or start GoFundMe pages in order to help pay for their child's cancer treatment.
People have forgotten what love and loyalty looks like. Women's bodies change after having children. Not all women snap back to their younger selves. Real men love the women that bear it all for them! He is a class act for sure!!!
Loyalty in human relationships is becoming more and more scarce so people find true love surprising.
Load More Replies...Because real men don't fall in love with a look... They love the person
Yep, she's gorgeous to look at at every age and in any shape! We have a wonderful, lovely, decent German word for her: she's a "Augenweide" ("a pasture for the eyes", like you feast on the sight alone. Also men, beautiful landscapes and any other things can be called "Augenweide").
Load More Replies...“She had grown”. Yes. As a person because over the years, and all of life together they have shared, she has grown as a person. And so as he.
Don’t imagine anyone ever pointed out to her that he was grey and wrinkled. When you love someone you don’t just see them with your eyes. You see them with your heart.
I can't stand how they constantly put this beautiful woman in the media with headlines like this ' she is beautiful no matter what' or ' Pierce Brosnan sticks by his wife' . What's she done then? Committed a crime? Been in an accident? Had major surgery? You would think so by the way they portray her in the media. No, she, like practically every other woman on the planet has put weight on as she aged, had kids or settled down. That's it. She just put weight on. Who cares? Why is this even an issue? It's disgusting to try and make out that he must love her very much then to stay with her? They do this to Hugh Jackman's wife all the time as well, just because she is older than him. There is nothing to see here with these women, jog on. Why even talk about them in this manner?
There are countless other examples of things, creatures, and even people that are and act wholesome, an emotion that makes us happy and shows us that there is something good in the world. For all the chaos and negativity on the internet (and, really, everywhere,) digital communication lets us spread these ideas and images. In a sense, it promotes wholesomeness, as often selfless behavior goes unrewarded and unseen.
Uhh… ok… did you make that with a blindfold or smth? ‘Cause it looks… like trash…
Load More Replies...In your FACE haters. Bet they were all wearing his shirt after that one
And I bet those who made fun of him are kicking themselves now, for being such shits to a talented kid, and their parents are kicking them too, because the kid they made fun of will go to college for free. That UT logo looks like something an artist would design.
I'm not what you'd call a UT fan but the day these shirts went on sale I ordered one. And to whomever posted the college didn't give him a cut? They gave him a full- ride four year scholarship. That's worth a heck of a lot.more than the money they made in the shirt! Take your greed and negativity somewhere else.
I think this isn't really that healthy. Nothing wrong with the gf keeping in touch with her family but...she should be allowed to move on eventually. This tweet sounds like they're praising her for not doing it. I'm not saying she should be forced to do that, just based on this tweet I'd worry how the family is going to react when the gf decides to date again.
She may well be dating or even married- as a former support worker I had a client whose ex DIL kept in regular contact and took the mother in law out monthly for dinner. She had long since moved on, got married and had children with her second husband. The woman was an absolute saint! :)
Load More Replies...I’m probably going to get downvoted for this, but I really hope she finds some fulfillment in her life solely for herself and not for others. Whether she moves on with a new man or not, I hope she can find it in her to live for herself and not for her dead partner’s family. Remember people, there is life after after love. (Yes, I just quoted Cher.)
Hope this isn't unhealthy and shes living her life as though he's gone, cause you know he is.
That's the best part of Noted Panda- most of the posts make me want to be a better person

Load More Replies...When I hear men talking like this, I always wonder how they'd respond if someone talked to their daughter, wife, or mother like this. Or are they all Ted Cruz.
The human need for this sort of content is reflected in the trends we see on TikTok, Twitter, and yes, even here on Bored Panda. Wholesome, joyful images, memes, and stories are all a salve against doom-scrolling and other words we use to describe the omnipresence of negative content, fear-mongering, and rage bait. The ubiquity and common, everyday use of those words shows just how far “internet negativity” has penetrated our collective psychology.
fun fact-most dogs are allergic to chocolate, but some are not and, while they cannot eat it safely, but will not die (much of this is dependent on weight) my friends dog apparently got into the fridge and ate a WHOLE GODDAMN CHOCOLATE CAKE and was fine afterwards.
It's not an allergy is it poison. You are really damn early. I would never risk it. There are so many other things that are safe for a dog to eat.
Load More Replies...We used to go to McDonalds and get a burger, fries and ice cream for our dogs the night before a euthanasia. When I was young, my mom (from whom I get my dark sense of humor) would say, "What's the worst that can happen? It'll kill them?"
Oh, f**k you... it's too early in the morning for these feels. And this is wonderful, and heart breaking.
Fortunately my vet came to my house for the euthanasia appointment. My sweet boy died peacefully lying on his own dog bed in familiar surroundings and with the people who loved him. It's been 4 years, but I still cry when I think of him..
Load More Replies...Well, if they’re brought there because their quality of life has fallen to zero and they’re going to be put to sleep, why the hell not? Might as well cross the Rainbow Bridge with the taste of chocolate on their lips! Hell, when my own time draws near, I think I’ll make a plan to eat all my favorite foods—-and that includes several different kinds of, and ways to serve, chocolate—-just one last time before I buy the farm.
The point is the name of the chocolate is Kisses not the quality.
Load More Replies...March of this year my dog was diagnosed with cancer, and passed out within the month. This really punched me in the feels and I started sobbing as soon as I read "euthanasia" because I knew what followed it was so sweet. I love this so much and I think it's such a great thing to do.
My fourth grade teacher was such a gem. Luckily not in above situation. But I remember her so well. I'm sixty eight now.
Load More Replies...I will point out that the prof referenced the good work the student already brought to the class, it shows that if you as a person can meet people half way they can and usually will meet you back, not every time but it does help. I write this bc I have a staff of around 350ish give or take report up too me and my rule is if you give me your best I will cover you at your worst and I have lived by that. Everyone has bad days, everyone has life hit them out of no where, but if you try at the things you do, people will see that and want to help.
I think something is wrong with me today. Maybe I need to see an allergist since my eyes keep watering
WOW....I lost my baby sister less than 2 weeks ago..... Wait....2 weeks today........ My regrets and condolences to you op..... Whatever your relationship was with your sister that hole will never fill.... But I love you
When my mom died (two days after my 14th birthday), my world changed. My dad had to fly back from across the country, we had to move in with him, and then we had her funeral. She died on a Thursday, I missed the Friday with all this going on... Monday, my science teacher said he needed a note for my absence. I told him my mom died and he said he still needed a note. F**k you forever teacher whose name I will never remember.
My Uncle died a few months before my GCSE's. I knew my work was suffering and one day I was called into the Headteacher's office. Here we go, I thought. He said you can take your GCSE's again anytime but grief doesn't wait for the right time. Take your time to grieve now and if you fail them all it doesn't matter. So I did, and I failed and I re-took the ones I needed in college.
And when my dad died the uni had me resit an exam 3 f*****g times (max allowance) cuz I was 2% and 1% below the threshold...
Wow. I am crying now! I have three sisters, so I know losing even one, would break my heart!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
And THAT’S how you do it when someone you love is depressed, clinically or not. Celebrate every and any thing they do to just get up out of bed and live. Don’t go overboard and tell them what to do next or declare them cured and especially not that you expect them to do even more tomorrow! It’s not your recovery, it’s theirs. If you try to control it, you might smash their happy but fragile sense of accomplishment (if you’re that controlling, you’re probably the reason they’re depressed). Big or little, every step forward is worthy of celebration. Let them do it at their own pace. They may be great today, but back in bed tomorrow. It’s OK. Recovery can be full of fits and starts. Forget tomorrow. Celebrate today.
If I don't cry one day I take this as a victory. It takes alot to stop myself from crying and no crying doesn't mean that I am otherwise okay but. I get thus post so much!!
Im always doing this to my husband. If i want a "me" time, ill just grab my phone and hand him over with tiktok. "Me" time until battery runs out lols. He's like a toddler haha
I've seen this post before, but never the rest of what OP said. She wrote on the thread: I am gay. If y’all don’t stop thinking this is about a man, my lord. Also, she tried to distract me cuz I said she should ease up on overworking herself to the point that she needs to sleep in the middle of the day. Please stop using this tweet to further you all’s cursed heterosexual narratives lol
Hate to say it, but this seems fake. The handwriting looks like an adult imitating a child. Sorry Emma K.

I suffer with depression and had many suicidal thoughts. That why I got a dog. I can't leave her
Load More Replies...Last year was the second worst year I had in my whole life. So many times I just wanted to end it because the s***s*** kept happening. Today I was looking back in my journal for last year. It listed reasons to stay alive: To be able to hold my nephew’s child. Who knew? My Christmas picture/text from his mom was announcement that her son and his wife were going have a baby the middle of July 2023. I’m so glad I decided to stay.
I hold the same emotions as you. My years as a child were just sadness diluted with rage. I felt like my life was not worth anything. I never really got help, but I found a love in art, and with that was a will. I wanted to show everyone my art, thus remaining alive was necessary. Eventually, when I started falling back into darkness my brother came along. The only boy sibling out if five, and youngest too. I fought hard at those pesky thoughts to see him grow up. He picked up a liking to a lot of the things I like, and loves me more than anything. He even wanted me to teach him how to draw!

While you are right, in the right home, surrounded by love, it doesn't matter how long you are here. Dogs don't need to live long because they are born pure and full of love, not like humans who need a lifetime to learn the value of these simple things.
Load More Replies...I'm in a bad mood today. All I see are people creating a market for breeders to breed yet another type of dog that is inherently suffering because people find it "cute". If you want a dog, go to a shelter and focus on finding a companion that fits your lifestyle. All dogs are cute.
I am also in a bad mood today. I see a dog that may have been euthanized in puppyhood in the past because he has a genetic mutation that occurred randomly, but these days there are many people willing to give dogs with special needs the best lives they can. It seems you're saying no photos of such dogs should ever be posted lest people decide they will try and breed for genetic dwarfism and all the physical problems that accompany it (which makes no sense given they would be attempting to breed special needs dogs), but I am happy to see this dog getting a chance at a good life and it briefly uplifted my mood before seeing your comment with its worst possible interpretation of the subject matter.

My niece who is a teacher just spent over $30 out of her own pocket to purchase special decor and other goodies for an "end of year" beach day. $30 doesn't sound like much, but she does this many times during the year. The amount of money teachers spend to help make their lessons more engaging, and their classrooms attractive, their lesson plans more hands on would boggle the mind of anyone working in the corporate world. We treat our teachers so poorly and pay them worse; they are heros.
This is an incredibly sweet gesture. I don't think some students realise how much some good teachers work to see their students succeed.
My cousin is a kindergarten teacher. Sweetest most genuine and generous person you could meet. Hands down PERFECT job for her. Always smiling. I know she pays slot out of pocket for her students. Some parents do not contribute any supplies plus she does special stuff for them.
Load More Replies...My kids are out of school, but I still stock up on school supplies every year. Used to donate to my kids schools. Now it goes to the closest elementary school in August and January. Older sister was a teacher until this year and she spent so much for her kids. Especially keeping snacks & drinks, feminine hygiene items, school supplies, socks, gloves, scarves and jackets. No idea how she did it.
once me and some people at school came in during the summer one day to help organize her classroom. she ordered pizza and got chips and soda for us and her daughters. it was so fun.
Hahahahaha...no. It's like they "necessities" they supply. Books, pens, pencils. So necessary that the teachers have to supply it out of their own pocket.

I keep stuff for emergencies, but our school nurse has a well-stocked closet, and in our office area, in an extra room , we have our "mall" with clothing, toiletries, etc. If a student needs to "go shopping" he or she tells a teacher who arranges it. And a local church packs over 200 backpacks every weekend for certain students to take home, backpacks that contain extra food to get the kid and family members through the weekend without school breakfast and lunch. John Q Public just does not realize or have any idea what schools and teachers actually do these days. We're so busy sometimes trying to meet our students' most basic needs we have little time to teach.
i had a teacher who did this and he is the greatest person ever and he told us to tell our friends about it in case they needed something to. he was always doing the most for us and i will forever remember his kindness, he also wrote a personalized end of year note for every single student he had this year whisch is like a 100 and i alomost cried because of his kindness
I thought those tampons were joints at first and I was like ok ok legalization has gone too far if teachers are handing out joints
It's good and sad at the same time. These 'leftover women' have 'failed' the social pressure by finding a husband and marry by a certain age. Sometimes leading to huge loss of face or lack of respect from their family and (mostly) communal pressure. Some even lead to suicides... these gals took a brighter turn!

Wedding are about celebration and fun. They're not about some solemn s**t to impress the neighbors or family. If you like big family parties, that's what you should have. You like small quiet parties with a few close friends, then do that. Jewish wedding are traditionally big parties because their lives were s**t, and getting married symbolizes hope, and hope comes with happiness and celebration and eating and singing and dancing. None of that "no speaking", "no noisy children", or "everything needs to be perfect" sort of s**t. Ironically, the most solemn part of a Jewish wedding is breaking the glass, since it symbolizes mourning and exile.

First wedding: immediate family (9 people). Second wedding: just a witness. Money was spent on what we wanted.

I do this! I also wipe down the table with napkins after I'm done. Trained my kid to do the same. It's the little things people appreciate and if I can make someone's job a little bit easier I will.
I don't do that because is be afraid of doing it wrong. But I do strip the bed when I leave a hotel room. I hate doing it at home, so I feel sorry for someone who has to strip dozens of beds

As a former waitress in several restaurants, pubs and dinners... please don't do that. We have a system of collecting dishes and stacking them are being seen as unprofessional. Also it makes it more messy and prone to accidents
I was a waitress for several years. I didn't mind this. Not the glasses, never stack glasses. But we had to scrape the plates into the trash so that was the only tricky part. We had a basket submerged in water for the silver wear and had to turn glasses upside down on a glasses rack. But in general stacking plates was not a great big deal. I always appreciated the effort.

i'm not sure if i'll get super downvoted for this, but i watch 911 and i recently heard there is a big group of buddie shippers that are mad because the show is supposedly queerbaiting. Some of their arguments consist in Eddie screaming Buck's name when Buck was struck by a lightning and them holding hands when Buck was pulling Eddie from a colapsing building. All I see is a very nice and rare type of friendship, where one is constantly there for the other, and I find very sad that some people are not used to this anymore. I remember McDanno's friendship from hawaii 5-0 and i really wish more shows had this kind of relationship again, but i'm not certain if it wouldn't get mistaken for something else and hated on.
I watch that also. Buck and Eddie are the greatest of friends. People who can't accept other people for who they are, are not people I ever want near me.

The comfortable contact between all the BTS members charms me so much.
What I’m wondering about now is how girls doing this and women doing this is kind of more acceptable. It’s fine for girls to hug each other and hold hands and be close, but when males do it, it’s gay?? Yeah I dunno. I don’t have experience with even having girl friends and being close like that. I watch those girl groups and they randomly just walk up to each other to hold each other in their arms or scratch each others backs passively and I’m like… too much touching lol. Or they walk up just to say “hey” and grab each others hands to swing arms together. I understand, love, but I for some reason wasn’t built to understand or respond to that properly… my closest friend, younger, would cuddle me sometimes when we’re rehearsing for a show, and I’d be like “you’re rubbing makeup on me lol” and I had all these white marks on my COSTUME because she kept forgetting lol. Even my sister I’m like, “space bubble, stay out of my space bubble.” Anyway, that’s off topic. Sorry for wasting your time

okay this is so true. Everyone needs to read that multiple times!!!! I have been with my hubby for a long time and the other day I got real with him about something I was feeling. Some fears and anxiety I was having. To which he opened up and told me what he was feeling and afterwards we both felt so much better. Turns out we were having the same fear and anxiety and just needed to tell each other so that we could help each other out. It created such peace with us both.
Get a new one. That's what I do. Can only talk so much.
Load More Replies...Yep, we just did our monthly check-in of what is working in the relationship, what isn’t, what makes you feel respected & disrespected, what would make you feel more loved, and what experience or circumstance has “stuck” with you good or bad. Sometimes it’s 10 minutes, other times an hour. It can be very surprising but also rewarding
The key is be WILLING to listen and change it. People talk about what they need. Even get specific. But if they other party isn't willing to listen and change, it don't matter. Have 2 past relationships to prove it

Honestly, comments like this just draw attention to the comment it's trying to hide. Her comment is not totally crazy... The caption in this picture has poor grammar/ lacks context and can honestly be mistaken as the doctor who delivered her also delivered their (as in her and the doctors) child. There are larger age gaps than this that have produced children so it's not out of the realm for it to be a possibility (I don't agree but it happens).
Load More Replies...It may be bad grammar, but if the doctor is the dad who gives a s**t if they are happy then we should all take some lessons from this, if more people are happy less shits are given, end result better world for our children to grow up in.

Story time: Back in Jr. High, I liked a girl and flirted with her quite a bit. One time, during a band trip, we stopped at a gas station and she bought me a pack of gum. I tried to pay her back $1 but she refused. So, I slipped the $1 in her pocket. She then slipped the dollar in my backpack and so began the back and forth with the $1 bill. We found silly ways to give it back and forth. I mailed it to her house. She stuffed it in a gum wrapper and offered me a piece. I then decided that I would ask her out on this $1. I wrote, "Will you go out with me" on it and put it in a note and gave it to her. She said yes (of course, it would be a terrible story otherwise, I suppose). About four years later, I still had the same dollar kept away. On our anniversary, I wrote "Will you marry me" on the bottom of the dollar. We have been married for 15 years and have three awesome kids. We still have that dollar stored away.https://i.redd.it/q3ax9xwmg1141.jpg.
