71 Wholesome And Funny First Attempts

Bought these Tru-Colour bandages almost as an afterthought at the online FSA Store months ago, spending down the health care money my employer thankfully provides. Don't know enough about the manufacturer to fully vouch for them, but I truly appreciate how valued their product made me feel.

For my friend's birthday, we decided to all try bleach painting for the first time, and this was the shirt that I came up with! I'm an oil painter usually, but I found this to be very similar to watercolors! I made a stencil using a big piece of cardstock paper, cut it out, and then went in with a brush for the rest of the details. Hope you guys like it!

I bought the fabric and cut the pieces four years ago. I finally got around to finishing it, and my goodness! I made a ton of errors. Half the top is cut upside down. The pants are right way up, but I cut two right legs instead of mirroring the piece. (Ergo, the pink left leg). The pockets are wrong side out. And getting the elastic in was an adventure.

All told, I'm thrilled with my first set of Carolyn Pajamas.

Weird experience. A casual acquaintance said that she hoped she was “thin” like me someday.

She meant it as a compliment, but it was just weird. Took me by surprise. Said friend is already well beyond what I would consider “thin”, and it was jarring to see the look in her eyes when she explained that she “needed” to lose weight, and compared herself to me.

I was 450lb for a huge chunk of my life, and I’m constantly surprised by how “normal” sized people view themselves.

I decided to skip college after high school as I was more interested in illegal substances, art, travel, and music. 30 plus years, 3 ex-wives, and raising 26-year-old twins, I’ve decided to start a whole new chapter and get out of retail grocery as a career! Seemed like the perfect time in my life, and now that community college is free for most folks in MA, I’d be silly not to give it a shot! Computer systems engineering technology associates is the goal! Picked up my ID today and signed up for a summer STEM boot camp ( all sorts of cool support stuff, as well as my first math and English classes). I’ve been smiling all day!

I’m so proud of myself!

He loved it. He likes games where he can relax and explore. He was never forced to battle unless he absolutely had to, and when he did, he was able to come up with crafty ways of beating enemies without having to fight them one-on-one. As you can see from the video, he isn’t great with the controller. He could spend hours just exploring and hunting and be perfectly ok. A good starting game for anyone at any age.

He used to work on airplane engines behind a computer screen. He’s just one of those guys who can do/build/fix anything. Without a doubt, he has those super dad powers.

Everything is homemade; it was my first time doing all of this! I’ve never iced a cake before, done a crumb coat, made a homemade cake, all of it! I took my time and really tried to educate myself before executing this, and it worked out wonderfully!

The only thing I didn’t like was the colors, but now I know it’s something I have to improve on.

It’s a chocolate cake with crumbled Oreos between the layers and vanilla/chocolate buttercream!

I'm in a rural town off of Hanoi called Duy Tien!

You can't tell from the picture, but there were currently 10 people sitting around at the time of the pic, and that's not to mention the 4 kids that ran off to go play after they finished eating. Perhaps the angle was a bit off, but I would say even for American standards, it was a massive amount of food.

Yeah, I was blown away by the cultural difference between the US and Vietnam. You literally have tons of relatives and in-laws just casually walking up to your house just to sit down and chat over a meal or tea.

Never really bothered with getting plants before, but my desk was looking barren compared to everyone else, so I went and bought this.

Quite like the little guy, might give him some water or something.

I will say I should have picked a different game because it turns out RISK takes forever, even if you aren't playing.

I'm getting a lot of questions:
1. "Are they triplets?" Yes, identical boys. Pretty rare, happens about 5 times a year in the USA.
2. "Are you tired?" Yes.
3. "How are they propped up?" Bumbos! About 5 seconds after this picture was taken, they were NOT happy.
4. "Who won?" I did, they are terrible at Risk
5. "CHOKING HAZARD MUCH" I know, I literally risked their life playing this game, but they couldn't even raise their arms, much less pick up a little piece. It was worth it; get ready for the risk.
6. This isn't answering a question; I just wanted to shout out my wife, she's amazing.
7. "Are you tired?" Yes, I'll answer this again.

Hello! I just wanted to share the first fursuit I've ever made. I just finished making this fursuit. It took me about two months to make. I'm really proud of it! I'm really scared of showing this here, but I really wanted to show it off somewhere. I'll be taking this suit to my first-ever furry convention in February. I'm considering getting into fursuit making as a side hobby. So I am interested in some feedback regarding my suit. Please be gentle! This is my first fursuit ever, both in regards to being handmade and just simply owning one. Yes, I am aware of the holes in the flippers. They are there so I can slip my hands in and out. I'm going to add snaps so they aren't constantly open.

My mom tried to tell me that fancy restaurants would want them for overpriced micro-food.

I live in Las Vegas, and we had a heat wave that fried everything. I assumed that with everything dead above ground, I needed to pull the dead greens out, and these all came out with them. It’s very hard to grow things here.

I have zero experience, but I think it looks good. Trying to get into helping my daughters with their hair. It's literally the first time, but I really want to get some skills down to help before school starts. Nothing crazy, but learning so cool braids would be awesome. Advice appreciated, and thank you for the help!

I turned my friend in for being a first-time flyer, and look what the Delta crew put together for him! So cool, I was only hoping for wings, but this is so special.

In San Francisco, the public transportation was great! And the wine. And the sushi! And the views! It's a nice city!

I thought I would be fine doing CrossFit (even though I was reluctant to try it in the first place, I got convinced by my boyfriend) because I was already in shape & worked out regularly. I just really pushed myself way harder than I should’ve because I assumed I could handle it, but I was definitely wrong!

In my entire life of 19 years, I've never really gone out of my state, as I said in the post's title. In fact, there are not more than 5 cities that I have travelled. And honestly, I wanted to keep it like that till late 2027, when I'll graduate. I planned to go on a full tour of my country all by my own right after my graduation, solo. That day, although it was just for 30 or so minutes, I, by mistake, went out of state. Not much of a big deal, but it's just that I wanted to do it after my grad. Anyways. Doesn't bother me, but yeah.

Immediately got off at the next station and took another train to get back home. clicked this pic while returning when the train stopped at a random place, and I found this beautiful scenery in front of my eyes.
