Hi!

💕 Having the time of my life 💕

Anytime I think socialism might actually work I'm reminded of the time I was like ten and my mom was having a massive yard sale and I was like "I want to do a lemonade stand!" And she was like "fine but you have to give me all of the money you make and we'll use it on the vacation we're going on this summer" and then was like "k then I won't do it"

I went to Pinterest to find a banana nut bread recipe and when clicking on the link for the recipe that looked good, suddenly so many adds that you can’t even find the recipe and so much blog like back story and I was like I JUST WANT THE RECIPE! I thought man, I miss cookbooks, then a lightbulb went off in my head, I still have a cookbook somewhere! Let’s just say I found 3 recipes in my hometown’s school cookbook that looks scrumptious! This looks like the best one though!

I blacked out the name because it was submitted by a kid, but it’s in “St. Mary School Brussels, Illinois Our Hometown Cookbook” from 2006

Pictures of the finished product to come soon!

Yummy! Of course I forgot I was out of eggs, so I subbed applesauce and added a healthy dose of cinnamon!

Thanks to everyone who voted and congratulations to all the winners!

[annieslytherpuff21]

I’ve been trying not to use certain words because my toddler has big ears and likes to repeat everything I say, so my new rule of thumb is: If Carter would sound out of character saying it, I’m not going to say it. By all accounts it’s a weird metric to go by, but so far it’s working lol

[beowulfstits-archive-deactivate]

I want to go to this exact point and run around it saying “I’m in Sweden!” I’m in Finland!” “I’m in Norway!” until I get tired

i aspire to great things in life

[therothwoman]

According to Google Maps, that point is in the middle of a small lake.

[leda74]

So we’ll do it in January when it’s frozen.

[nightmigrations]

actually that’s why they’ve helpfully dropped a big-ass cement block with a bridge surrounding it in the middle of the lake: for the express purpose of doing what OP aspires to do

[slaughtermetals]

there’s so much beauty in the world.

[illbeanisland]

There’s also a point like this which connects Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands!

They even made a circle there which tells you in which country you are

[consultwithmouse]

And the tripoint of Slovakia-Austria-Hungary 👋😊

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

the tripoint of czechia, slovakia and poland is just A Rock In A Ditch lmao

[korrainasamisjacket]

You can stand be in four US states at once (Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona) at four corners!

[annieslytherpuff21]

One of my life goals is to play 4 square on the place where Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado converge lol

[definem3]

Being a fanfic author is about basing your entire premise around a single plot bunny and then having to bullshit your way through the rest of the story.
