Ask Lemmy

i fought a traffic ticket and won lol

Two specific things.

1. My wife & I bought a house! 🎉
2. My doctors got me on ozempic because i have hypothyroidism & i literally cannot lose weight. Ive dropped 20 lbs in a month & a half!

You can 3D print containers that fit all kind of juice/pop/milk lids. They can be any height, but my favorite are the ones that nest almost perfectly inside giving you one bottlecap worth of storage (perfect for pills or sim/sd cards).

I've had my printer for 6 months and still get a kick out of this.

I just had my first serious art show. Not solo, but still.

I met this really cool vegan online and I talk to them on the intenet

I am trying to quit all screens aside from workrelated things.

Picked up going outside and doing woodworking on my driveway. I have had such nice conversations with the people in the neighbourhood. Let's connect is a great thing.

my birthday :)

went out for a lovely dinner and got nice presents afterwards

On Sunday, my family and I watched 3 dolphins play in the boat wake, 5m away, for 4 minutes, as we came back into dock.

Wonderful.

After a long recovery I can finally start working out again

Also I have an amazing dog that I love and I'm thankful for him every day.

I'm getting a lot better at not being so serious all the time, it's difficult but possible to change oneself.

I'm going to visit my sister soon and I haven't seen her in years, she doesn't know I'm coming so will be a fun surprise.

My haphazard kid driven fish tank has babies somehow

Cooked my first beer can chicken today and it turned out great! Two whole chickens and a cast iron pan of cornbread on the smoker, cucumber salad, watermelon, and lemon bars for dessert. Had the ex over for dinner and she brought ex—MiL, but it was fun

I just started working after years of covid reclusiveness. Almost 3 months into wotking and im physically feeling better.

I had ear surgery yesterday that will hopefully help with my hearing loss and sinus drainage. I’ve been waiting for almost two years for this hoping that my country would start to cover the procedure but finally said fuck it, it’s worth it for my quality of life. Feeling like I have a head cold today, but without the sick feeling. So far I think I can hear better already but not sure if it’s just wishful thinking lol. I’m cautiously optimistic!

This is a great thread, definitely cheered me and a lot of other people up. Thanks!

We bought a house with some farmland and moved in a few months ago. My farming ventures have been hit or miss ("learning how not to do it" as some might put it), but we had some fruit trees/bushes. We now have ume (plum) jam and are still into fresh blueberries and biwa (loquat). It's really nice to be able to eat things from our own land when they are most fresh and delicious.

My BF and I are getting married soon! :D

I'm super excited. We live across borders, so I will finally be able to live with him. So much more time for fun stuff like camping and climbing, and even just normal stuff like reading or cooking together.
