My boyfriend loves wrestling, and his birthday is coming up

He's a 46 y/o male. I know so little about wrestling but would like to get him something cool. What would a wrestling fan enjoy that the typical fan does not necessarily have?

Something like tickets to a show is probably not feasible due to our location/car situation.

His favorite wrestlers are:

Terry Funk

Macho Man

Nakamura

Stan Hanson

Bret Hart

Dusty Rhodes

Eddie Kingston

Dalton Castle

Shinya Hashimoto

Just spitballing for ideas, and I dont even know what terms to Google to figure out where to go with it.

Edit to add: he likes AEW, not the current incarnation of WWE

Edit: Wow you guys gave me some amazing ideas. And I ended up buying a cameo of Dalton Castle! I appreciate you all so much, insanely helpful!

Started cooking my bread in a silicone bread "pan"

I'm really happy with the way this silicone pan has been performing! They say you can mix and bake right in the vessel tho i haven't tried it. This is actually the lightest loaf I've made i believe.

It's called the Lékué silicone bread maker, it was like 37 bucks when I bought it years back, but it is probably cheaper now or they have off brands of similar things at this point I'd hope.

I don't care for a super chewy crust so I skip the ice cubes and water element all together. I latch the silicone hook for the first half of baking then release it for the second.

It has this loaf shape that I love, kind of oblong but still structured and loaf like.

I use this recipe (https://alexandracooks.com/2019/04/17/easy-sourdough-sandwich-or-toasting-bread/) for my bread, I just added a couple minutes in the oven cause the silicone loaf was extra large it seemed. I also sub about 1/5 of the bread flour with rye.

I may switch mostly over to cooking it in the silicone because the shape is so pleasing to me and it's so much easier to store than cast iron.

How do you all deal with lack of motivation?

Maybe motivation is the wrong word. Personal responsibility? I dont know.

I'm very responsibile emotionally. I will always admit when I'm wrong, humble myself, change, and try to get better. I never yell, I try to be reasonable and kind and to hold myself to a high moral standard.

But things like paying taxes, holding down a hard job just cause I need money, being unmotivated to improve my life in tangible ways absolutely kill me.

Thing is, I don't relate those things to moral failings. I am motivated by morality. But I dont think the government will spend my money well, so I just dont pay cause I have no motivation to take action that isn't ethical. I don't like the idea of working hard when it burns me out quickly. And I'm too comfortable with floating along in life rather than make efforts to change real world things.

How do INFPs here with good jobs, who pay taxes, who do everything you're supposed to do in life do it?

God/dess for taking action

I'm not motivated to change my situation in life despite how badly I need to. I want to foster a relationship with a deity who will help me develop internal fortitude.

I struggle to pay taxes, keep licenses valid, work a normal 9-5, etc. I know it's wrong and I can't be bothered to change it. I need help.

I am in therapy and medicated BTW, no adhd. I have no idea why I'm so comfortable staying static.

I have worshipped Hekate for years and she's always encouraging me to forge new relationships with other deities. I definitely need to outsource for this issue.

Edit to say:

I've tried for decades to care more about doing necessary tasks. I see why they're important but they don't feel important. I have done medication, therapy, EFT, I was a counselor, I journal, I've been evaluated for ADHD.

If I had a real world, practical solution for this issue i would have done it.

I understand gods are not necessarily going to just give me what I want, I've been a hellenist for a long time. But I haven't worshipped all gods and I dont know everything about every god which is why I'm here to ask if people have personal experience with a deity who has helped them with something like this.

I get it, no god is going to go inside of me and fix what I feel is broken. But I have to try to connect with an energy that might help me at least shift my perspective or something. If they don't help they don't help, but I have to try.

Bread fail --->Pizza win

I got the recipe for sourdough sandwich bread from here: https://alexandracooks.com/2019/04/17/easy-sourdough-sandwich-or-toasting-bread/

I got it all ready last night and figured I'd just leave it on the counter overnight to bulk ferment...it went a little insane.

But, it turned out to be ideal for a great, thick and chewy pizza dough that I had for lunch today.

Bread is the recipe at the link, I just proofed too much overnight. But then I spread the overproofed dough on an oiled pan out like focaccia, sprinkled basil, more oil, salt, and garlic powder, then dimpled it in. Added parm then did it again.

Waited for it to rise a bit moee over 2 or so hours, then baked for 10 mins to give the dough some body before adding sauce. Then put almost a whole jar of classico pizza sauce, pre sliced mozzarella (walmart brand), classico pesto dollops, and then Walmart brand pepperoni.

It tastes amazing, great texture, incredible crispy edge and soft middle.

He was making dinner for my family with me. He doesn't use a lot of fresh parsley in his personal cooking, but we were having Greek bowls.

He asked how to chop it and I said to just aim for the leaves but if some stems get in there it's okay.

He meticulously cut off every tiny sprig and then cut the leaves off of that sprig. Perfectly uniform pieces. I had chopped tomatoes, a red onion, cucumbers, and made a sauce in the time that he cut the parsley bunch.

And I loved him so intensely while he did it. He focused and did so much to ensure it was perfect for us. I'm a rough chopper and didn't expect that detail, but he did.

Was just one of those perfect moments when you see your love doing something mundane but it felt like the big bang and evolution and dinosaurs and wars were fought just so that he and I would end up in that kitchen chopping vegetables and laughing our fool heads off over the band Hinder and taking 25 minutes to chop perfect parsley.

He's my everything and my perfect person. This is what life is about.
