Looking for something where the Greek gods are still around in the modern world. Kind of like Percy Jackson except I want the focus to be on the gods themselves rather than demigods
Anything like this?
Looking for books with greek gods in a modern setting, but with the focus on the gods themselves, their rivalries, affairs, family drama etc. Think Percy Jackson but from the Olympians' perspective
So my husband and I are laying in bed after a nice date night talking and just chatting before bed. Well we start touching and kissing and things are clearly leading towards sex. But I am still in date night mode and truthfully my mind was wandering (which is unlike me, but I had a super long day).
I started to think about the raspberry cheesecake I had brought home from the restaurant, and if I could justify having it for breakfast the next morning. Then I get a pang of guilt as I am kissing my husband and wonder what he would think if he knew I was thinking about cheesecake.
He then says between kisses, "Just think, you get to have that cheesecake in the morning." I busted up laughing and told him that is exactly what I was thinking about and I asked him how he knew (he hates cheesecake so I know he wasn't thinking about eating it). He just smiles and shrugs and says he knows me.
I love that man. Also, I did have cheesecake for breakfast.
Am I the only one who thinks that Ross and Rachel should have gotten married in the end? I know that it's mentioned in the spin off 'Joey', that they did remarry but it would have been cool to see them in an actual healthy relationship. Their relationship keeps Rachel from pursuing a dream job opportunity in Paris. If they would have just gotten back together and stayed there, then maaaaaaybe this wouldn’t have to be an issue. I know it upped the dramatic ante, but it felt a little unnecessary.
I really wish they would have gotten back together in season 9 and gotten married in season 10. I personally didn't like that whole Charlie drama.
As amazing as "I got off the plane" was, a proposal or wedding would've been so magical.
That's it! This is the post. The amount of people having kids to save their marriage, or for their partner is insane. My yoga teacher had 3 kids because she thought that would make her husband stop cheating, and then they'll all be a big, happy family. Spoiler alert: that didn't happen.
Take two people, turn their lives upside down, add in sleep deprivation and some really wacky hormone levels and that's pretty much what it's like when you bring a newborn home - whether it's your first or your tenth. I can't imagine how that would even remotely "save" a foundering marriage...
Kids shouldn't be used as a band-aid for a bad or failing relationship. A child should never be brought into any of these situations because they'll be resented either because they didn't fix the relationship or because one parent didn't want them to begin with. That's really toxic. Please use your brain people!! What’s wrong with society? For one, too many babies having babies in loveless homes.
My husband and I are happily married, both holding stable jobs and enjoying the DINK life. We both strongly agreed that we do not want kids as we really enjoy our current lifestyle. On the other hand, our parents are very traditional Asians, & have always asked us when are we going to have children. They hope for grandkids soon after we get married
We have always lied and said “Maybe in the future when we are more financially stable.” It used to work, they would leave it at that & won’t harp on the topic anymore.
However I’m turning 34 soon & to them, my biological clock is ticking. They are starting to double down on this topic while I’m still “fertile”. It’s getting exhausting to tell the same lie over and over again...
I’m afraid my parents wouldn’t understand and also worried my in-laws would come to dislike me for not bearing them a grandson, even though the decision to be childfree is made by both me & my husband. They have been v supportive and I don't want to jeopardize my relationship w them
My parents & in-laws are generally nice people, but they are really traditional & they believe kids are the final pieces we need to complete our lives.
Does anyone have any advice on how to approach this?
Looking for a fantasy show with really immersive world-building that I can disappear into for a while. I'd love something with multiple seasons so I can stay in that universe for longer, but only if the quality stays consistently high.
One thing that keeps happening is I'll see a show recommended, then half the comments are like season 1 was amazing but it went downhill after that. I'd rather avoid those.
I especially love fantasy set around kingdoms, castles, kings, queens, royal politics, succession struggles Doesn't have to be super action-heavy. Great characters, lore, mystery, and emotional investment matter more.
No anime please.

I've hit a bit of a recipe rut. I love the usual recommendations like Rainbow Plant Life and Pick Up Limes, but I feel like I've cooked half their recipes by now 😭. Looking for creators whose recipes actually turn out well and are healthy enough that I don't have to think too much about balancing meals.
My boyfriend and I are planning to go engagement ring shopping soon, and I think I've finally figured out my dream bridal stack. I've attached my inspiration photo. I'd love honest feedback, especially from anyone with a similar stack or a pear-shaped ring. (edited the image form chatgpt to add the 2 bands)
