Comment on a post by a 22 yr old left paralyzed and unable to function or swallow after suffering a stroke 9 months ago. Her post explained to friends and family that she had been approved for medically assisted death and would be ending her life the following day.
Because of you my life has change, thank you for the love and the joy you bring. Meet my son Toshiro. He is preemie baby (31 weeker) with multiple rare diseases. Its my birthday today (july3) and i would like to share what makes my birthday extra special. Im a single mom and no family no friends.
This is Lucy. She's the third chihuahua adoptee into our family. She's almost eleven. She was rescued from a hoarding situation where she was one of 59 chis kept in a single room for her entire 8.5 years of life. She'd never been outside. She enjoys barking at nothing, sleeping, and the beach.
[Jeff Passan] Cubs outfielder Albert Almora, who hit the foul ball that injured the child, was understandably emotional after the game. He said his eyes focused on her right as he hit the ball. Almora said he hopes to form a relationship with the girl and her family “for the rest of my life.”

Honestly the only reason I want to study away in US is I need to get away from my toxic family and get a life for myself (anyone feel the same?)
I won’t say shit like I’m sick of seeing same people everyday or it sucks that my family want the best for me etc...I love my family. I truly love them with all my heart. But I know that the time I spend here is killing me mentally everyday. I reallllly need to fuckin go away from here to grow.
P/S. I know most people wouldn’t have space for extra negativity in their lives but if you want to chat with me about the details and maybe share about bullshits in your life, I’d be grateful
- if it’s against the rules you can delete this post btw
Just had an emergency appendix removal. I moan as much as the next man about the NHS, but the cold hard truth is these guys saved my life, and leave me and my family without a crushing bill for doing so! In some nations I may well of woke up this morning to bankruptcy.
After 9 months of trying our hardest to give our baby Clementine the best life we could after her previous abusive family, and after a week of what seemed like endless medical issues, she finally boggled her eye for the first time, hopefully showing us that she feels truly loved. I’m so grateful.

Hello, folks. Todd Howard here. Your entire life is on the line as you read this. If you don't purchase a copy of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for each and everyone of your family and friends, as well as pre-order Elder Scrolls VI, you won't live to see the light of day ever again. Best of luck! ;)
When KOTORs were released, my family didn't have much money and I couldn't play them back then. Life has improved a lot for me in the last decade and last year I finally played KOTOR. Yesterday I finished KOTOR2. How do I fill this void now? How have you survived for over 15 years without a sequel?
I played Fallen Order before KOTOR2 and I liked it since I love Dark Souls and Sekiro, but it barely left an impact after I was done with it. Also played SWTOR a bit few years ago when it went F2P, but I was pretty disappointed with it.
TIL the three Apollo 11 astronauts could not get life insurance for their historic space moon shot. To provide for their families in case of catastrophic failure, they autographed commemorative postcards, a friend had them postmarked the day of the launch and distributed to their families.

I’m a Kings fan for life but even as Kobe handed us one of the most disappointing losses in history in 2002, we still loved and respected his work ethic and humility. I will never forget the legacy he left behind and the love he showed for his family and LA.

Wealthy American families seem to think they deserve the children of the poor and the vulnerable - for this, you can thank the pro-life movement

My mom is sleeping with a married man and asked me to babysit my younger brother. I said that I couldn’t make it as my husband and I had already made plans and she told me I wasn’t doing everything I needed to do for the family. I told her my family duties weren’t babysitting to benefit her sex life
The pursuit of basic life goals, such as avoiding diseases, maintaining romantic relationships, being accepted by others, achieving social status, and caring for family members, help foster a sense of purpose in life, as they are relevant to our evolutionary fitness, suggests a new study (n=1,993).

Just dropped him (22/USA) off at the airport. I'm a mess right now. He got on a plane for the first time in his life and flew to Scotland for two weeks to meet my family and see where I lived. He is truly the best man I could ever have hoped for.
Article on recent Amazonian Magister Report linked supports my opinion: The only reason the Pope is not a heretic is intentionally vagueness! Here is a criminal subtext which supports modernists, confuses the laity, confounds the faithful, and does not save souls.

It is now the time of year where families(especially Yorkshire folk) will do battle for control of the legendary thermostat. Mine personally will be hidden until at least early November and I will guard it with my life!
Been really struggling recently. My family cut off ties with me, my dad who is my bestfriend might be going to jail for life, and less than a week ago I was crying while talking to the suicide hotline. I'm trying to stay positive, life just throws some strong punches sometimes.
[Serious] You are a 10 yr old living in the US with parents who have the means to help pay for your education, what job do you aspire to in the future to guarantee a stable economic life for yourself after your parents are gone and you are hopefully raising your own family?
Especially during this holiday season, every post you make, and every post you read is important. We are in this together, and for some this is the only family we have. Happy holidays SD friend, this sub is truly a life changer!
My wedding band: completely funded and sourced by my family’s unused gold. My mother’s wedding band and my grandmother’s pendant were melted down to create this. Only 37 more days until I get to wear this for the rest of my life!
I just rode a motorcycle on city streets for the first time in my life and now all I want to do is hug my family and tell them I love them.
And it wasn't even crazy or dangerous. I maxed out at about 30 mph in a residential neighborhood. I saw maybe 3 other cars. It was a test ride. I'm definitely buying the bike and keeping at it. But holy shit I can't stop thinking about how mortal I am. That's all. If anyone in Austin sees a guy on a red SV650 doing figure 8's in an empty parking lot, then crying tears of sweet joy to celebrate the fact that he didn't die, come on over and say hi.
Shot for the royals and selling his medal to pay for his own funeral: “I believe to this day that a member of the royal family’s life is more valid than mine”. Monarchism is a sickness.

Just wanted to share the 3 month transformation of my (still nameless) rescue boi! Poor guy had to spend the first 2.5 years of his life being cared for by a family who forgot to feed him for weeks and had no lighting but I plan on giving him the best life possible from here out to make up for it.
So I think Bella felt free to leave and live her best life after Mortimer died. Went to a new town has and has a whole new family just a big restart for her. This is not the main family I play. I just play one family on this saved game.
Jackals are one of the few mammals that are monogamous and mate for life, the male is also as invested in raising the pups as the females so they remain a very cute little family unit.
Tonight was my goodbye dinner before I head off for two years. Thanks for being my family through anything and everything. PLEASE help me to share the love for the people who shine brightest in my life.
Does anyone else feel like the characters in their head have become more important than family and friends and real life? And you feel bad because you’re not trying to do that, you’ve just been invested in them for sooo long that that’s what it has come to? And you feel so freaking guilty?
Lost this sweet soul today. I’ve known him basically my whole life. He’s the first dog I’ve lost and I’m still in shock I can’t process the fact that he’s not here anymore. I thought a picture drawn of him would help my family heal and I don’t have the talent for that. Miss you toby
I'm welcoming a refugee family to America and this was a big part of the mother's life - can you help identify this fabric so I can buy some for them?
I have rejoined the reptile keeping world! I've been looking into keeping lizards and snakes for a while now. I had to euthanize my 30 year old turtle recently and life just feels so empty. We welcomed a new crestie to the family today! I'll get some better pictures once he's settled in.
My grandparents in 1949. It took my family 50 years to connect the dots and figure out my grandma was 4 months pregnant in this photo and they’d been covering it up for my aunt’s whole life.
Wishing a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the world! I'm thankful for great family & friends, gainful employment and this Founders Solid Gold! Give thanks, for what truly matters in life! 🙏🏿🦃🚿🍺
TIL Benny Medina created The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air after growing up poor in East LA. His life changed when he befriended a rich white teenager, whose family lived in Beverly Hills and allowed Medina to live with them. Medina decided to change the rich white family to a rich black family.

The tragic story of Oliver Sipple, the gay marine who saved Gerald Ford's life, but was outed by the press and gay activists which led to his family disowning him and became a victim of media harassment. Outing someone else for political points is never acceptable.
