I believe his company went into administration/ bankruptcy in 2018 so I'm not sure if he still has a shop.
Yeah I don't think so anymore, now he seems to prarily just judge competition shows, but sounds like he was popular for a while.
his desserts were very popular, almost too beautiful to eat.
You used to be able to buy a packet macaroon mix from the grocery store put out by him but haven't seen it on the shelves for ages.0 -
Why is it that as soon as I finally decide I don't need something and toss it out I need that exact something? I had an external 3.5" usb floppy disk drive a month ago. Now, guess what I need :-(1

If it's a giant experiment then I'm not in on the scam. However, the threads that get deeper into psychology are usually my favorite. I think the anonymity makes people more comfortable sharing their introspection.5

You know son, you may think you're treated unfairly and held to much stricter standards than your little sister...

It's amazing how this theory pretty much solves everything, right down to why we have not made contact with extraterrestrials yet 🤷🏽♂️...
It also explains how the future and past can be happening at the same time and why we experience it like a movie 🤷🏽♂️...

...little tip, my brother and I are one year apart. We always did everything super fair, split things right down the middle type stuff. As a teenager my mom requested extra stuff from me and wanted my brother to accompany my friends and me when we went out (which he didnt want to - he wanted to stay home and play video games)
...know what that causes? Teen-aged girl rebellion...the reason I don't want kids and if I did I sure as helk wouldn't want a daughter (like me)
...be forewarned
Treat her fairly and equally, Trust her
Teach her the stuff you teach your boy too. I don't know how to change a tire and used to get other people to pump my gas (I can do it now, but have never put in swisher wiper fluid)
I did watch and help my more capable friend change my headlight bulb tho - she broke it in the fixture and I figured out how to get it out!
Anyhow, my 'not a parent' advice is to treat them the same and provide the same life skills to both...and trust you are building their confidence and skill sets...gender exclusive

My family are going to get direct hits. I was able to thankfully talk my grandmother into leaving. I ended up evacuating last minute. From what I’m reading in local Facebook groups is lake Charles and Sulphur is already without power. I’m my area where I live is getting tornado spin offs already. Plus the poor lady in the news looks like she might fly away if she doesn’t go inside soon.2 -

Damn...
I tried so hard to give my daughter a unique cool name that wasn't over popularized like, Cayden or Aiden...
And now Katy Perry names her daughter Daisy 🙄...
Now everyone is going to be freaking doing it 🙄...
Or they are going to think that we did it because she did it... Even worse 🙈
I'm really upset about this 😂2 -

I see what you're saying and while I appreciate your input, I respectfully disagree although not completely...
There is a reason why Mara had a stronger sense for danger compared to Luke...
I guess I want my son to be more like my father, and my daughter to be more like my mother... One brave albeit maybe a bit too nice and willing to help people, one wise and maybe a bit too overly critical... 😂
I wonder if all subconsciously try to raise kids like our parents... At least those who had good experiences with their parents...3 -

I don’t know anything about your curly hair, but I have curly hair and I sleep with it in a pineapple (basically a high pony tail) and am pretty much able to take it out give my head a few shakes and go. Sometimes I spray some water with a bit of conditioner or curl cream in it and give it a scrunch. I highly recommend sleeping with a pineapple!
No ponytail for me 😅 I lost all of my hair when i was going through chemo. It started to grow again but all of a sudden it's curly AF and my hair is only like 2 inches long at the moment😂 I'll have to try that when my hair is longer if it's still curly. Thanks for the tips xox

@Miss_Chiev0us
That friend I told you about, I hadn’t see her since late last summer. I saw her a few weeks ago and her hair is back to its regular straight texture! It was soooo curly. I didn’t think it would go back, I had no idea. She looked good either way but she’s more comfortable like this.1 -
No I'm sorry you guys but I don't believe you raise them the same... In a perfect world maybe...
But let's be honest... I have to worry a lot less about my boy going out and getting roofied by some creep, compared to...
I won't even finish the sentence... Parish the thought5 -
Continue spending the day playing and work tonight? Or, work now and catch up on sleep tonight? I'm leaning towards the former but need to equalize at some point.1

I agree, the world is different for women and men, it's useless to ignore the fact. On the other hand, I don't know that being restrictive is the way to handle it, teach her to look out for herself while she takes on the world. Otherwise, at what age is she allowed to go do things? If you are just restricting but not teaching whats the long term goal?
I disagreed with your statement because you said you wanted them to be like your parents. I don't think we should push our children to be like certain people, let them embrace what they are and teach them to be the best version of themselves they can be.
I think I was either misunderstood or misspoke entirely when I said strict... It was tongue and cheek, just me teasing my son and I felt like sharing... A humorous way at looking at how the world could be different with double standards and all...
Of course I'm going to let her out of the box when she's old enough... Say 28 🤷🏽♂️😂...
But what I'm saying is the things I want to instill in her are very different than what I will teach my boy... Call it unfair, call it bias, unequally, whatever...
To hell with fair, these are your kids we are talking about and it's not a fair and equal world... And who doesn't want to teach their kids the valuable lessons they learned from their parents...
It sounds like we are in agreement just maybe from different angles... 💕4
