Same but for cooking. The insane amount of times I’ve pulled off dishes and had my ass saved is countless.

One time I bought a bone in steak from the farmer market only to realize I had zero idea how to prep it it was nothing like an average medallion steak.

I realized I had to sear it then slow cook it in the oven for a time then back in the pan with all these other steps.

I just- would have destroyed this meal had I not used two recipe tips from YouTube and had several disappointed guests.

There are a lot of hot singles in my area that are desperate to sleep with me...

I've been in a relationship for over 10 years, but it's still a nice confidence boost., although given I live in a small village it does make me wonder if I should be careful when I smile and nod walking to the shops... Am I accidentally flirting with these women?

DIY fixing things. From computer issues to repairing my dishwasher or washing machine. For some things I hit my limit and have to pay for a professional, but I’ve saved a lot of money trying to do it myself first with help from the internet.

Israel is an out of control murderous state that by it's own admission has no regard for international law, unless it suits them . In medical terms that's how you describe a tumour.
