My guilty late night snack #Readysalted crisps dipped in tomato ketchup. What's yours?

@Taco_Spamfilter @ashleyschendel Grown man ?

@ashleyschendel You should meet my son in a 4,200 square foot home with 2 kitchens that dad pays the mortgage on. Mom still pays his internet and trash pickup. I also get to pay for his cell service. Being a parent doesn't seem to end, even after our kids are adults.

We have a two-bedroom apartment with a kitchen in our basement, and I’ve already told my daughter she can live there as long as she wants or needs to. If she goes to college, we’re not charging her rent. If she somehow chooses not to, we’d charge something low just so adulthood still feels real. I don’t think making your kid struggle unnecessarily is some higher form of parenting. If you have the ability to give them a softer landing while they build a life, why wouldn’t you?

@megbasham Beautiful. The joy of connection. Baby's smile is infectious 😁

Every man who has seen this has claimed there was “just something in his eye.”

“Let’s spend £4.5 trillion on net zero over the next 25 years. Let’s increase taxes to pay for net zero. Let’s ban new oil and gas licences in the North Sea but spaff away £40billion buying North Sea oil and gas from Norway. Let’s buy coking coal shipments worth £7.2million from Japan but ban UK coal mining. Let’s plaster thousands of acres of farmland with solar panels but spend £50million on sun dimming experiments. Let’s give huge renewable energy construction contracts to China. Let’s give Drax an estimated £1.8billlion in taxpayer funded subsidies on top of the £11billion it has already received despite Drax burning an amount of wood equivalent to 300 million trees. Let’s give £1billion this year alone to wind power companies not to generate power from their wind turbines. And let’s spend £30billion of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines but put pensioners, farmers and the disabled into financial peril by claiming there’s a £22bn black hole.”

WHAT IS IT CALLED WHEN YOU DON’T FEEL DEPRESSED BUT ALL YOU WANNA DO IS BE IN YOUR BED ??

@james_xond Cheesy scrambled egg on toast. Fills a gap.

HELP! What is the simplest meal to prepare when you don't feel like cooking?

My daughter (3yo) and I were walking through an aisle when an older man approached us. He was smiling and seemed friendly enough at first. Without much conversation, he pulled out a lollipop and tried to offer it directly to her. Before my toddler could even react, I calmly said, “No, thank you.” My daughter also declined immediately, which honestly made me feel a little proud in the moment. She’s learning to respond the same way I do. But instead of accepting that, he kept going. He leaned in again, still trying to hand it to her, speaking to her directly like I hadn’t just said “No” politely. It wasn’t aggressive, but it also wasn’t respectful of the boundary that had already been set. So I stepped in more firmly. I took the lollipop from his hand, repeated, “No, thank you,” and placed it on a nearby counter. I didn’t raise my voice, I didn’t make a scene, I just made it very clear that the answer wasn’t changing. And that’s when the tone shifted. He said I was…

@MichaelArtist4 @stephenRB4 How sad

@stephenRB4 I threw out the vast majority of my physical books. I've only bought myself one new physical book during the last five years.

Have you more physical books or ebooks? 📚

@NkoEleven @stephenRB4 Nothing like a real book. Less screen time 👍

@stephenRB4 I don't have any ebooks (i would hate to stare at a screen to read them) just physical books.

@BritishBC @stephenRB4 Love it when I go on holiday and pack a few books.. no electronics required 😁

@stephenRB4 All my books are physical 📚

@alisonelsayed @stephenRB4 That makes me sad for some reason. I love the feel of a book.

@stephenRB4 Have a Kindle now. Gave my other books to charity

@Kristinartz Many. Still refer to my Bero flour cook book which I sent away for after using it with my mother for basic recipes. Prefer to see recipes written down on paper. I might only use one or two recipes from a cook book .. but it's nice to have a permanent copy.

My kids think it's crazy, but we used to have a full set of cookbooks on the kitchen shelf instead of YouTube. Be honest, who still owns and uses real physical cookbooks?

It’s being reported that Britain is preparing for food shortages because of the Iran war. This sort of food supply jeopardy would be significant reduced if British governments actually prioritised and supported British farmers. Food for thought.

@EmmelineWyndham Yes but just purchased couple of small fan heaters to use intermittently, supplemented by log burner - trying to reduce dependancy on central heating (oil) .... at the price per litre trying to use for hot water only.

Hands up anyone else in the UK who's crumbled and put the bloody heating back on....?

@VirgisViews @AniseNot You need to teach them the a floordrobe is not a thing 😆

@AniseNot BOYS DO THIS!!! It’s so infuriating!

I feel like my family has an excessive amount of laundry. I can never ever get ahead. It is always just mountains of laundry. I do laundry every week yet there are always mountains of it I tend to wash all the clothes & fold/put them away within 1-2 days I have started paying attention. I did all of the laundry 7 days ago. Today I did all of the laundry again I have 6 pairs of clothes to put away. That makes sense My daughter has 12 My son has 15 somehow I don’t excessively change my children’s clothes & tbh when they’re home they are so often in the backyard in their underwear so HOW ARE THERE SO MANY CLOTHES IN THE LAUNDRY Dude has 8 pairs of shorts/pants but 12 (!!!!) tshirts + 5 days of work uniform (so that makes it 14 pairs of clothes, but 5 days of those non-work clothes he would only have worn for a few hours in the evening after taking off uniform & he generally doesn’t do anything too strenuous on weekday evenings so those clothes aren’t really dirty) MY FAMILY IS JUST THROWING CLEAN FUCKING CLOTHING INTO THE HAMPERS I AM GONNA LOSE MY MIND

@FelicityM79 @AniseNot Just wondering what you guys might be doing that could need 10 loads of washing in a day... guessing hospital laundry or animal shelter.

@AniseNot Get a Speed Queen washer and dryer. Life will instantly be better. I can easily do 10 loads in a day. So fast it’s almost criminal to buy any other brand.

@Matt_Pinner @b69271475 No but Bulgarians might... was once offered a leek on a sandwich !

@b69271475 Would you put it into a sandwich?

I’m currently having a blazing argument, please help me settle this once and for all. What is this???

@PressSec Sad and embarrassing.

President Trump just received a McDonald’s delivery order from a DoorDash driver outside the Oval Office! Thanks to President Trump signing No Tax on Tips into law, Sharron is using the $11,000 in tips that she made last year to support her family. 💰 🚗 🍔 🍟

@LJoe140404 They will be on the reduced shelf before long. No-one in their right mind pays that for a packet of buiscuits !

I think my head is about to explode, £5.70 for a single pack of fucking biscuits 😂😳

@Aussie_Persian @AOC You really think that Trump is doing the world a favour ! He's not even doing himself any favours. Who would ever trust this man again... he sounds totally unhinged.

@AOC Shut the fuck up you coward. President Trump is doing the whole world a favour by eliminating the islamic terrorist regime. It just goes to show your real true colours now. Shame on you! Sit down and shut your mouth.

This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat.
