Help identify a dessert

This is going to be a long shot, but here we go.

When I was around 12 years old my uncle was dating an Asian woman (unsure which nationality, but assuming the dessert has Asian ties). There was ONE time that she brought the best dessert I’ve had in my life and being that age I never thought to ask what it was.

This was 14 years ago so bear with me. It was a tortilla like type of bread, maybe a little flakey. It was sweet almost like there was some sort of paste or spread rolled into it. She had it rolled up in a log and just wrapped in tinfoil. That’s it. That’s all it was and all the info I can offer, but it was so good and I’d love to know what it was if anyone knows

How doable taking these classes together?

I need a combined total of 6 prerequisites to cover all the bases for the 4 programs in my area.

I am considering two paths to completing these:

Plan A - two courses per semester, completed within 3 semesters BUT due to application deadlines this would add another year to me having to wait to apply for the program itself

Plan B - three courses per semester, completed within 2 semesters. Nervous about this option because Semester 1 would be Chemistry, Public Speaking and Human Anatomy. Semester 2 would be Physics, Human Physiology and Math.

Is it better to stick with Plan A and take my time, or is it doable with Plan B and stacking those classes together? It’s been 6 years since I graduated college, I’ve always been pretty good with science (I did struggle with Chem tho) I currently live at home so wouldn’t need to have a job and have the free time.

What do people think?

In Memory of Toucan

I need somewhere to vent about this because I’m truly devastated. A couple weeks ago, this kitten appeared in my dad’s work yard. At first it was super scared and timid of him, but as he kept feeding it more, the baby started warming up to him and letting him pet it.

As soon as my dad told me about the cat, I knew I was going to keep it. The timing was off because our family was going on vacation for a week and I couldn’t just bring the baby to my house since I have another cat and it wouldn’t be fair to leave it there and then leave right after.

I asked my dad if he thought it was safe enough to keep the cat at his yard because I know the yard next door has dogs. He said the cat had been fine the past couple weeks, so what would one more be.

Well I SHOULDN’T have listened. Over the weekend while we were gone, one of the dogs from the other yard broke through the fence and mauled the poor baby. My dad returned to work today and called me to tell me the news. I haven’t stopped crying all day since he told me. I feel so awful, it was only a baby, maybe 5-6 months old. And so sweet according to my dad. It deserved a chance at love and a home.

So I’m posting here, in memory of the sweet baby who I don’t even know if is a boy or girl. But we had named them Toucan in reference to the two cans of food my dad was feeding it everyday.

Rest in peace sweet angel, I wish I had went and got you sooner 💔

AITA if I miss this wedding?

Just got the invite in the mail. Here’s the context: I’ve known this friend for about 13 years. In high school we had a friend group of about 14 girls and I’d say she was about middle of the pack in terms of who I was closest to.

She is inviting everyone in our group as we still have a group chat that we occasionally text in. In terms of our current friendship, we’ve been on a ‘text each other happy birthday’ and that’s about it in terms of communication for a whole year. When we’re home for the holidays we’ll all go out to the bars one night as a group. So someone I consider a friend due to time and history, but not someone I’m close with.

I would without a doubt love to attend the wedding, however, it’s over a weekend of a music festival that I’ve been super excited about going to since you camp for 6 days and I’ll be going with a new group of friends I recently made and would like to use the time to bond with further over our love of the music. I’ve already paid for my spot at the campsite (I’m sure I could get refunded), but truthfully if I had to choose I’d rather attend the festival.

Is it cruel of me to say no to the wedding? I do feel bad if I don’t go, but there’s part of me that wants to be selfish and go to the festival too. Help!

White pants at a wedding welcome reception?

I’m a female, but don’t wear dresses or skirts as I prefer to dress more masculine. I flew in for a wedding, so only packed two outfit options, one for the welcome party and one for the wedding itself.

The welcome party is the night before the actual wedding and I packed white pants for it (paired with a navy blue button up), but now I’m being told by some of my friends that that would be inappropriate because only the bride should wear white. I hadn’t thought anything of it because they’re pants and it’s not the actual wedding day, plus it’s going to be 95 degrees.

Is it okay to wear the pants? Or should I play it safe instead and just wear the black pants I have two days in a row since they were my pants for the wedding too?

EDIT: as replies are rolling in I thought I could give more context. I’m very good friends with the bride, she does not care at all about the white pants. The comments were made my our other friends who said it might be a bad look from family/friends that don’t know me

A minute for Bryce

The scene of Bryce, Kayda and Zach at the fire pit talking about childhood - I just want to give some appreciation for Bryce opening up about his living situation and the love for his grandma.

We rarely ever see much of a real conversation on here, it’s always the typical “I like you, how are you feeling about our connection, blah blah blah”, so it was sweet to see Bryce being real and getting so excited talking about his grandma.

I wish they would share more real moments between the islanders because at the end of the day these are REAL people with real experiences and memories outside of this place and I think highlighting that would lessen the hate they get online as well.

Kenzie’s maturity

Can we acknowledge how sweet and mature it was of Kenzie to pull Dylan’s mom and basically own her actions and tell her how much she likes him. She was the only islander to pull a family member aside and it just shows that she really is genuine.

The hate she gets is not warranted, she moved exactly how you should on Love Island and got ridiculed for it. I love that Dylan’s mom even checked him and was like she did what she had to do and still apologized after.

It was so good to see of Kenzie and prove the hate she gets is too much!! Still not a fan of Dylan tho

And extra side note, Sincere didn’t even have the balls to apologize to them face to face alone like a man. Get him out the villa

What does it mean to be “call-in/on-call”

Silly question and I understand the gist of what it means, but I’m looking moreso what’re the logistics of it. A lot of the entry level positions I’m seeing in my area are “call-in/on-call” every day of the week, evening shifts from a set time. Does that mean you never have a set schedule and they call as needed? And if so, do you not get paid if you don’t get called in? Any details on what this means would be helpful!

How many calories should I cut?

I (26F) am 5’3 at 144 pounds. So far I’ve lost 14 pounds since last August and I want to hit 135, so 9 pounds to go.

I’ve recently found a plan that I’ve actually been able to be consistent with, ~8k steps a day and strength training 4x a week. However, my calorie allowance of 1600 calories doesn’t seem to be doing for me anymore. I’m feeling a lot hungrier than usual even with a minimum of 120g protein a day.

I’m confident with my body now and am not really in a huge rush to hit 135, I just want it to be sustainable. Do I need to increase my calories? I was thinking around 1750. Or do I ride out the 1600 and push through the hunger in between meals?

Waitlists at CCSF for CHEM?

Curious if anyone has any waitlist experience or knowledge regarding the waitlists at CCSF. I’m currently enrolling for prerequisites to eventually go into Rad Tech, so I am required to take either CHEM 32 or CHEM 101a. Right now, I’m number 15 on the CHEM 32 waitlist - I prefer to take this one because it’s been some time since I’ve taken Chemistry and I heard it’s easier, but I could switch into CHEM 101a if needed.

Does anyone know the odds of actually getting into the class being 15/30 on the waitlist?

I’ll be the one to say it…

Honestly idgaf but I’m a FULL supporter of all of Kenzie’s exploration of the men. Season after season we see men do horrible shit to the women and they just roll over and take it. We finally get to see a woman play the “game” just as hard as they do and I’m HERE FOR IT. Call it a double standard I don’t care.

Zach is 1000% rethinking his game plan

I feel like Zach’s face whenever Bryce brought up wanting to ask Trinity to be his girlfriend to when he announced it at the fire pit it looked like he was stressingggg. His face was so deep in thought like “fuck I played this all wrong”. It fully looked like he wanted to be the first to fully close off and Bryce and Trinity ended up being so much stronger than he thought that he was too little too late with his own connection.

The way men feed into each others delusions is insane

Zach and Sincere’s entire conversation on the dock made me want to rip my hair out. Sincere is such a nasty little manipulator and Zach is just sitting there validating everything he did to Melanie. Like pls both of you stfu

Mango Pride Party

Does anyone know if the Mango pride party at El Rio Saturday lets you skip the line/has a separate line if you bought the tickets online first? Or do you wait in line all the same, just already have a ticket so it’s lower cost?

I fought tooth and nail to get that damn online ticket, but it sold out so fast both times. Wondering if I should get there like an hour before open to have spot in line

Hand tattoos?

I plan to take out my nose piercings and extra ear piercings as well as cover my hand tattoo for my schooling, but what are people’s experience in the actual work field?

Do people have visible tattoos and piercings in most places? Or is that a no and I should consider laser removal?

When is an appropriate time to ask if someone wants kids?

I don’t want to get to know someone and feel any emotional investment before knowing if they want kids or not. I certainly don’t, would it be weird to ask before we even set up a date, wait for the first date or even later?

THIS IS A LONG SHOT BUT…

Did anyone happen to be driving north on Skyline Blvd (the strip between the turn off to John Muir and Great Hwy) on June 5th around 5:20pm?

If so, did you witness the accident between a Green Toyota 4Runner and Grey Honda Civic?

I was in the left lane driving my 4Runner when the Civic in the right lane decided to switch into my lane striking my car and fucking up my bumper/headlight. He was respectful at the scene and I even got him on video apologizing, but as soon as we took it to his insurance he is claiming that I went into his lane and struck his vehicle. Since there’s no witnesses, dashcams, or police report, his insurance is not accepting fault and won’t pay for my damages. Insurance also says the video of him saying sorry isn’t an actual admission of fault.

I’m really hoping I can flag down a witness from when this occurred.

And Mitch if you’re reading this, f*ck you!

Thoughts on living at home while going to school for new career?

For context I’m currently 27 and decided to go back to school for a career in healthcare after getting laid off from my corporate tech job. I already live at home because I moved back from a different city and wanted a buffer until I found a good place. Was originally planning on moving out by the end of the year, but now that I’ve decided to go back to school, there’s no way I could afford to move out.

I feel like it’d be pretty lame, especially in the context of dating, to say that I’m living at home and I won’t be done with school until I’m 30/31.

Should I take out even more loans so I can move out in a couple years or just ride it out at home? Home is me living with my grandma btw.
