Adding on to that thought- You can also try something similar with cardboard. Layer glue and cardboard to get to size and then carve it down as needed. It's pretty solid and can hold quite a bit of weight.

You may consider becoming part of the Big Brother/Big Sisters club (if in the US). That way you can be a good presence in their life without having to commit to parenting 24/7. Bigs are not replacement parents, but rather someone to be a good friend to the child/Little, spending one on one time with them, being a good role model in their lives, and giving them/guiding them through new experiences with a trusted and safe adult. My understanding is that all the Littles in the program have lost one or more of their parents. Anyway, it's something to consider being part of if you ever want to scratch that itch.
Sorry your Mom wasn't good to you. I'm glad you still have the kindness and willingness to be better than those that came before. I wish you a wonderfully cold beverage, strong greens, and a beautiful sunset this evening.
What do you like to do when you have to wait around for them? (Example - 30minute instrument lesson)
Love Penzeys Spices! The 'Justice' seasoning is also really tasty in savoury dishes. Next order I will have to try out the 'Fox Point' as it sounds great. For sweet stuff, their 'Pie Spice' is wonderful (goes well with anything sweet that has cinnamon in it)!
Nope. He's just a bit slack jawed at her naive answer in the 2nd pic.
Longer explanation: This is from Miss Congeniality movie starring Sandra Bullock who is a cop who has to go undercover as a beauty pageant contestant for a case. The meme pictures are from the questions portion of the pageant. The guy is the pageant host and asks about her perfect date. The second panel is the contestant responding. She had a sheltered upbringing and misunderstands the questions intention. She happily replies with an actual date on the calendar April 25th citing the nice weather and light attire.
It may not be exactly what you're asking for, but someone on Lemmy made a 2025 reality check website to help.
Ah, yes, lying to your face for multiple years over a legitimate concern is exactly what a strong relationship foundation looks like. /s
You say you need to forgive and forget, but that puts the onus on you to do all the heavy emotional lifting. They are the ones who messed up. They are who needs to step up to continuously demonstrate that they have changed. If you choose to stay consider acknowledging and navigating with eyes wide open instead of brushing it under the rug of blanket forgiveness.
You call him an angel, but do remember that Lucifer/the devil was also once an angel.
Trust your gut and move on. Death by 1000 papercuts is still death. The trust with him is already gone because of their actions and literally years long deceit. If they cared about you, they would have already made you the priority and honored/validated your concerns about their 'friends' for the last two years. Not just when they can't cover their tracts anymore (you moving in together) and hope they have you cornered/worn down enough for you to give in easily to their faults. If they cared they wouldn't gaslight you into thinking you're crazy/jealous over something that ACTUALLY happened. Do not let them sway you with this sunk cost fallacy. Take your efforts and energy to where they are appreciated. You deserve to be treated better. They know it and your stomach knows it.
Wishing him a very happy birthday!
(Current experience) What flavor is his birthday cake/dessert?
(Past experience) Specific- He would have spent 3 birthdays in camp. I assume that no one mentioned their birthday passing so as to not attract their captors attention. Is that accurate?

Random thoughts
It could have more to do with your middle bit of the sentence you uttered? "..or on that guys d.." It was probably just an off the cuff phase for you, but directed to the only lady in the group it could come off as you admitting you had feelings about her and now that you see her with another dude that you don't have a chance and are throwing a tantrum bc you can't be with her. That can seem like a betrayal of what she thought was truly just a really good friendship was instead you just scheming longterm to get with her. That's not just a loss of good friend, but also causes a questioning of every prior encounter.
Other options include her assuming you were shaming her for her choice in men (real or imagined), or that you essentially said you don't care about her regardless of what she does (right now or ever). It could also be her thinking this was your true self since you were so drunk, rather than this is the drunkest you've ever been and your grasping at any phrase to help the person understand your literal room spinning point of view. Not saying any of this is the answer as to why she ended the friendship. Simply giving a few alternatives to consider that might be more in the broken ceramic plate territory.
Great job on apologizing and giving space! Congrats on the sobriety!
