They would love to but we're all equally fucked in this economy tbh. We're all just trying to make more money so we can help each other out when someone needs it.
It's hugely dependent on a lot of factors but what I can say for sure that's helped for me personally:
having more locally sourced options like farmers markets and local butchers
not having to commute to work every day (the extra time and energy saved means I'm much more willing to cook something healthy)
a healthier work/life balance
making more money... Buying local isn't cheap.
I know veggies, even when they're not local, are cheaper than a lot of processed food but not when we're talking convenience and energy spent. Having the energy to prep and cook fresh produce, as well as a local market within walking distance have been the biggest factors for me.
I know I'm a pessimist but I feel like this is another one of those issues where we take the mask off and it's just that monster capitalism underneath.
Some Canadian provinces have logged a jump in unclaimed dead bodies in recent years, with next of kin citing funeral costs as a growing reason for not collecting loved ones' remains....
I'm not a finance expert but I feel like in the long run it'd be cheaper to raise the death benefit or subsidize cremation services than to build dead body storage facilities all over the country.
I have always called a light top with a full zipper to be a jacket, however the people I'm surrounded by insist on calling it a sweatshirt. I'm prepared to be wrong, just wondering if I'm the only one.
When I was young, my dad would do cheesy magic tricks and let me walk on his feet. He'd let me and my sister dress him up and put clips in his hair. Growing up he helped with my homework and cultured my love for learning and writing. This all fostered really wonderful memories.
As an adult, the one thing that I would change about my relationship with him is that I'd wish he could better express his emotions. He's very emotionally shut-in and we recently went through the deaths of his brother and his mom and that man has cried once. I know he feels sad but he just acts like everything's okay and that's hard for me to watch and hard for me to know how to be there for him. My mom, on the other hand, is very emotionally open and I always know that she needs me to talk or to just be there with her. I guess more so than expressing his emotions, I just wish he'd tell me what he needs, but we come from a culture of machismo where he learned he's not supposed to need things, especially from women.
Anyways, just be there for your baby girl. Enjoy your time together, and she'll have plenty of great memories with her dad.
I mean, I don't think it's that he's not feeling things, my mom definitely heard him crying at night and stuff. He just does his best to hide it from us.
I know what you mean though about depression shutting you down, and I don't doubt there's plenty of trauma in his past so it's probably just a bit of everything.
A lot of things i thought were cute and nice like dolphines, ducks, cats (i saw one cat eat anothers new born), dogs (multiple cases of eating dead owners due to a variety of reasons starting from trying to wake em up to other malicious reasons), hamsters etc turned out to be wrong . Raccoons are the only thing i believe in...
That's one of my favourite books. If you take it in the sort of gory comedy horror genre (thinking evil dead), it's actually pretty great and has more depth to it than just horror stories.
Some of his later books get much worse, more gory, and far less interesting. He's really just going for shock value in a lot of them. I stopped reading after the pink sock in Pygmy (couldn't even finish the book).
