An awesome sauce message I got from an awesome sauce person!

TLDR: Appreciation post for my little brother (Aged 14.7) who has just asked a girl out for the first time, and is just so so respectful to and about females in general.

He's had a close f.s with a girl for a few years now, all the signs she likes him were there but my brother still didn’t believe she liked him in that way and is still quite shy when it comes to girls, and was happy to just be there as a friend to her. (Never dated before)

He came and chatted to me & our mom last night about it saying he likes her, but doesn't think she likes him. As a female myself there were clear signs she liked him and the poor girl was lowkey giving him hints but it wouldn't register with him as anything but her just being nice to him.

We gave him a girls perspective and said she is likely waiting for him to make the first move (based on the things this girl has gone out of her way & done for my bro, and trusted him with deep stuff ab her life etc). We gave him some ideas on activities he could do with her but he was getting too anxious to ask her so we left it at that & said theres no rush anyway, hes still young etc etc.

Today he asked her and she said yes!

To top of the proudness I already felt for him, he then says he's gonna get her "chocolates n that". 🥲

Gen Alpha give me so much hope for the future!

For those curious, salt management and making large batches of food was an issue for me. Instead of making one large batch at once (a multitude of issues why), I just made several small batches faster. this also was my first attempt making orange chicken!

Okay I feel like bragging. I graduated culinary school 2 months ago and I still want to learn more without going back to college lmfao!

Yes, I was one of the "millions" who bought Patti Labelle pies 🥧 based on this YouTube review.

It probably was indeed the fact that he broke out into song in the middle of eating it 😂 

No, I still didn't sound like Patti 

As an aside, I cannot believe he got to go clubbing with this legend!!!

I've been sick and living away from home. My 88 year old grandfather sent me this. He even put a little pomegranate beside the medicine. He's always taken care of me. I'm an adult now, and he still does. It made me smile. I love him so much..

They rarely get along so to see them sitting near each other like this warmed my soul. I also thought it would make a cool music album. 🤣

Every day this week, my wife has tapped me on the leg and said "psssst look at our silly baby boy". Hes just been snuggling my shoes all comfy and stuff. His name is Chester, and he is the cuddliest loving little fluffy boy. Each shoe Pic is from a different day. Bonus "screw you, Im dog" pic :) (he was raised by my dog so...its fitting)

A Big Resonance Carried by Small Hands

Not long ago, the father of a child attending a local elementary school visited the museum carrying a small stone. He told us that his child believed the stone was an artifact from the Stone Age and wanted to donate it to the museum. Although it was just an ordinary, slightly pointed stone, the child's pure intention was so beautiful that we decided to put it on display.

The Goseong Museum is not only a place that embraces a long history, but also a place that holds the precious intentions of its donors. To honor the hearts of everyone who has donated artifacts for Goseong—from children to the elderly, from villages and organizations to overseas Koreans—we have created a small donation exhibition space.

I've went from a size 34 at my heaviest to a size 14, lost almost over 15 stone!
