Happy birthday sayings to niece

I have a big milestone birthday coming up, and am looking for a good Happy Hour to celebrate with a friend. Any good recommendations? And while (since it's a big milestone) I'd be looking for something to do up my day in style, if it's a good menu and good drinks, I'm up for it! Thanks in advance!

Long story short, i did a high dollar trade for stuff w/“zentico” parts. The Scammer goes by the name Lemmettc on TacSwap and Reddit. The B30/31 handguards were abused airsoft fakes, night and day difference. The B33 dust cover was missing hardware and the spring guide retention rod, and the PT5 stock was broken, specifically at the latch where the stock is supposed to catch when side folded. The only thing that came legit was the RK3 grip. I’ve made numerous attempts and compromises to get the proper stuff, he even offered to do a trade back since I was not happy with the trade. But ever since I acted on the trade back it’s been downhill fast. Guy keeps come up with excuses and delays and can’t make up his mind on if he wants to send me the correct parts or do a trade back. It’s been like this for over a week. Then he gets offended and threatens me because I called him out and refuses to give me my stuff which he promised he would and claims he’s the one that got shafted on the trade, saying that I broke his stuff and my items are not to par with his standards. I’ve got screen shots of the whole conversation! I can post the full story in the comments or elaborate more if anyone needs more details. I was able to get some of the missing hardware from him by keeping pressure but he is downright refusing to send me the B30/31 handguard. Stay away from this guy! He’s a shady, lying, crooked POS who will gaslight you and take your shit without second thought! I hate saying this, but let’s make this guy famous. Learn from me and don’t make the same mistake I did

Hi mamas,
My partner and I just got back from Puerto Vallarta with our daughter a week ago (she’s 1 today, happy birthday baby!!)
She was super fussy and would projectile vomit almost every food we would give her. She’s been drinking cows milk at home and it didn’t agree with her there at all. For the remainder of the week all she ate was white bread, fruit pouches/snacks from home and a combo of breastmilk and formula. It hurt my mama heart so much, I just wanted to give her a meal and felt like I couldn’t.
My ILs are taking the whole family back to Puerto Vallarta in early 2025 and while I’m excited, I’m also super nervous.
Does anyone have experience with this or have suggestions on avenues I can explore? I’m booking an appointment with her doctor closer to so we can discuss options.
So far, all I can think is to pack a can of toddler formula, and really load up on snacks. She will be ~21 months at the time of the trip
Thank you for your help!

I (24/F) have this friend (21/F) who I met two summers ago and is part of our larger friend group. Her and I were very flirty with each other the first summer we met, but I had purposefully not taken it further because she was 19 then and I felt icky about the age gap. I had made up my mind that if she wouldn’t make a move I was not going to either. Her and I continue to be flirty with each other, so much so even her mom asked her if we were dating and she said we weren’t but made it known in front of our friends that she would “go for me, but I wouldn’t go for her” in the moment looking back I could have easily just brought up the age difference but I ended up saying that she wasn’t my type and I wouldn’t go for her because she is “high maintenance” (I know it’s a stupid thing to say but I was taken aback) That ended any talk about dating or anything. We would still be flirty but we settled into a friendship that the both of us would say we enjoy.
Last summer she had a two week trip she took and that extended time away from her really made me sad and within those few weeks it hit me that I did like her a lot more than I had thought. I had been pushing my feelings down so as to not lose the friendship and all my emotional floodgates opened. I was now actively crushing on her, but I felt that it would be weird for me to pursue anything because she was still 20. I told myself once she turns 21 I could possibly bring up dating, but even telling her about my feelings and risking the friendship sounded scary. A couple months after this realization she ended up with a boyfriend. I made my peace with the fact that her and I weren’t going to be a thing and that the friendship wasn’t worth throwing away for my feelings. She turned 21 and we celebrated her birthday as a big group.
She somehow ended up spending Thanksgiving with my family and one night while very much under the influence I ended up just telling her I had liked her and she just kinda brushed it aside. We didn’t quite talk about it and I took her not bringing it up as rejection, I felt awful for blurting my feelings when she was clearly with her boyfriend. Her and I continue to be friends but a month after this whole thing she breaks up with her boyfriend. I had made sure to keep my distance as I got over her and our friendship was still good. I stopped engaging anytime she would be flirtatious with me and that slowly died down until a day ago. We were just hanging out when a conversation just led to her asking me out on a date? I frankly blacked out the conversation because I was so confused I told her she was not being serious but she insisted she was and I just told her that I had already confessed my feelings to her and she was confused because she didn’t think my words back in thanksgiving was a confession and that explained why she hadn’t brought it up. She was serious about going on the date and we have it planned for tomorrow but I am not sure how to feel. I have been working on getting over her the last few months but the moment she asked me I was more than eager to say yes, so how much of my feelings have dissipated? I don’t know I need advise on how to feel and act.

Iam 20F datin a guy 22M i met online, the first four months were like utmost happiness, he seemed to be the nicest person on earth, then slowly things started takin turn for the worse as my familial conditions got worse over time and i couldn't get myself to clear the exam, clearing which i could have met him, he was irritable and we used to have frequent fights, there was a point in time, i was hurt so badly over n over, i decided to walk away and never look back but he tried relentlessly to get me back that time, tho things weren't the same as before still i decided to give it another chance, but things weren't gettin any better, he wasn't interested in communicating much lately, i got some subtle signs which suggested he could have been cheating, and although i knew he's been linked casually to innumerable girls in the past, (he himself confessed) that was never a problem in the beginning because i never thought we'd get this serious and now that we are i brought that up and said it isn't really gonna work given his past so he was mad and said how could i draw conclusions on his character like that and that i knew this one from the very beginning so why am i having problems now i didn't have any concrete proof of his cheating tho but there were subtle hints of it and a strong gut feeling which if i told him he'd trash it away and say iam overthinking, lately ive become so attached to let go but it's killing me more each day given the silent treatment he's subjecting me to as of late
what do i do guys? although he treated me somewhat not so good lately, he's been my sole support system since the past 7 months or so and ive lost contact with all of my close friends preparing for an exam! am i to blame too? iam devastated, please tell me your views guys

I was thinking about this for a couple of days. Each of the characters definitely has mental health issues, that’s an obvious. So what if the circus is supposed to help them grow as people, by having them go in these adventures and bond with each other.
The adventures could be team building exercises to get the members of o build up bonds together. They definitely have grown attached to one another to say the least, seeing as how each of them acted at Kofmo’s funeral. Even Jax looked upset before shrugging it off.
I know that Gooseworx has confirmed things on tumblr by saying that Jax deserves to be there the most and that he had a happy backstory, but we might have misinterpreted that. The reason Jax deserves to be there the most could be that he needs to most help. He might have some kind of personality disorder, like narcissism.
The others have some noticeable mental health problems too.
Gangle is either has depression or trouble regulating her emotions. The mask could represent how people with similar conditions use a metaphorical mask to hide their own suffering.
Zooble is disillusioned by the circus and adventures. This could also had been how she felt about her life before she got trapped in the circus.
Ragatha is a people pleaser and wants to make sure everyone else is happy. Even if it hurts her.
Kinger disassociates randomly, which is why he goes between being lucid and unaware of what’s around him. Like when he forgot Gangle was standing next to him in the first episode and got startled by her.
Pomni is very shy and anxious, which could make it hard for her to bond with other people.
There’s also the fact that the characters abstract when their mental health gets bad enough. Gooseworx confirmed that it was irreversible, implying that it’s permanent and that the “treatment” failed. I doubt the people who are running the program would just allow that to happen, they could just have removed the ones who abstracted and moving them somewhere else to be treated.
The monsters they turn into after abstracting could just be the result of them being taken out of the circus and being cut off from their digital avatars. The game they used for the program could just not be capable of handling this to well and this is the result.
What do you guys think?

I (M24) was sitting in my car with my brother and his girlfriend in a grocery store parking lot. A family (mom, grandma, and son who was probably around 18) was getting into the car next to me. While the grandma was opening the door, the wind took it and it hit my car. I get out of my car to take a look, and before I even say a word, the son is saying my brother gave them a dirty look after hitting my car and asking us “if this is how we treat older woman?”.
Mom now comes over from the driver side and is cussing and screaming about how my car already has so many scratches that, they didn’t do it on purpose, and other incomprehensible yelling. At this point I still haven’t gotten a sentence in yet because they’re just yelling.
I try telling them that all I was doing was stepping out to take a look and that I wasn’t accusing them of doing anything on purpose. The son then tells me “he’s been around and he knows how this is going to go down” which left me stunned.
I never asked for money, I never asked for insurance, I didn’t even say a single word to them before they started verbally attacking me for something that THEY DID.
The grandma felt horrible, she apologized, and I thanked her and wished her a happy Mother’s Day and moved on with my day.
What is wrong with people these days? I’ve never gotten into a public altercation like this before. Why do people attack others for absolutely no reason? The lack of accountability, humility, and the ability to simply apologize was astonishing. I feel like I should’ve stood up my self more and I’m mad at myself for not saying more and for just letting them talk all over me. Is it wrong for me to have expected someone to apologize for hitting my car?
Also, from the start I looked at the scuff and it was not bad and I had a feeling it would rub off which it did, so it really was not a big deal but somehow escalated to this.

I broke up with my girlfriend last year December (we had dated for almost 2 years) because we were in a rough spot and didn’t communicate which caused things to escalate and I didn’t feel love for her anymore. I was questioned by my family and friends many times why we were together which didn’t help the situation. After that we hadn’t seen each other for a while but started meeting up again. Things were going great, I felt we were both happy and we spoke a lot more which helped us understand each other.
Then in February we returned back to varsity and I was going to ask to date her again but she moved on. I feel stuck now because I know that if we had just resolved these issues while dating we’d still be together. She’s speaking to someone else now but he is leaving at the end of the year and she wants to continue to be my friend as she says she still loves me. She won’t date this person because he is leaving.
I’m willing to wait until the end of the year when he leaves to be with her again or am I wrong for thinking this. I keep causing arguments with her trying to convince her to get back with me. I just really want to be able to try again as I know we would work together. No other relationships interest me and I don’t meet many new people. Please help

1. Chanel bag on her bed in the background. I’ve always found it very odd that she needed to show her Chanel bag on her bed in her livestreams. Why do you feel the need to flex like that ?
   
2. The name of her channel « The Universe Guru ». The two words "Universe" and "Guru" screamed red flag. At that time when I’ve found her, I was very skeptical with all the new age content/vocab. In the beginning of following her, I took everything she said with a grain of salt. But I don’t know, with time, I was hooked.
   
3. « You’re asking too many questions ». Mina liked to say that in a religious context, we were not allowed to ask questions. And that it is a bad thing. I agree. However, when it comes to her teachings… you are not allowed to ask questions.
   
4. « People in the west are too sensitive, they confuse « tough love » with gaslighting ». She doesn’t like the word « gaslighting » because she likes to gaslight A LOT.
   
5. The fact that she is constantly CONSTANTLY praising her masculine side. Thank God, I have followed other feminine energy teacher. And they never talked about how they love their masculine side. What’s the point? If I come to you, it is because I need your expertise on FEMININE ENERGY not your opinion on masculine energy. And yes, of course we need both. But I don’t need a constant reminder that I need to love my masculine side. The society has brainwashed me to think that the masculine is better than the feminine. Thank you but no thank you.
   
6. Her disdain views on psychology. She said one time that therapy was bad because it could re-traumatize the body. She also said that people in the west were creating « psychological problems » that don’t exist in the east.
   
7. When she said that feminism has gone way to far and that woman have more rights than men in the west. Hum excuse me ? Where do you live ? Because I also live in the west and I still see a lot of women struggling in a world RULED BY MEN. Yes sweetie, we still live under Patriarchy. This woman is sooo disconnected from reality. Maybe it’s because she never leave her "mansion". That statement was an alarm that screamed her internalized misogyny.
   
8. Her inconsistencies. She said one time, that happiness doesn’t come from the outside, that she was happy not matter what the circumstances were and she didn’t need her husband and kids. And suddenly in summer of 2023 she flip flop her speech and says that homosapiens need relationships to be happy otherwise you would need a glass of wine and drugs to cope your loneliness. smh
   
9. She has changed the name of her first book « Contained in love » to fit her « blueprint ». I have read her first book called « From business woman to housewife : my journey to finding inner peace » and I loved it. It is very pragmatic and she shares in it her experiences, gives advices and cites her sources. The fact that she has changed the name of the book was kinda weird. Contained in love ? That’s when I started to realize that it was a marketing tactic to sell her « perfect blueprint » that SHE never followed herself.
   
10. I have personally never resonated with her money channel, no matter how hard I was trying to. Now I understand why : when she talked about the feminine aspect of money which is to « attract it » she, herself, never really « attracted » it. She had a business (masculine energy), was lying and using manipulative tactics to sell dreams to vulnerable women.
    
11. The name of her second book « Lady Balls ». One of my passions is to decode symbols, and read into the subconscious minds of my favorite artists. And one thing that I have found is that her subconscious has spoken with this title ! I haven't noticed it before because I was still under her influence. But now it is clear. This is a confession : She is the one having the balls and wearing the pants in her relationship.
    
12. « God told me » statements. This one is the most dangerous. I didn’t realize it at the time, but using « God » is the ultimate tool to manipulate people. Religions and cults have understood that very well. You can make anyone do anything in the name of God. This is one of the biggest lessons Mina has taught me : never listen to anyone using God to manipulate me again.
    

I appreciate anyone that has the time to read. 8 months ago I was out drinking with my friends, the night progressed and I bumped into these 2 girls, we hit it off and to my surprised they invited me back to they’re house, and so I went. Both girls had been extremely flirty with me all night so I was very happy to go back with them to their house, things progressed and we had a threesome. One of the girls however had a boyfriend (I didn’t know at the time) and half way through changed her mind and left the room. When things finished up she was upset and begged me not to tell anyone because she was worried she would ruin her relationship, me being immature, proceeded to go home and tell all my friends, and then it got back to her boyfriend who actually thanked me for revealing that she wasn’t loyal. The morning after the threesome she messaged me saying “please don’t tell anyone about last night” and many more messages (which I still have proof of). Recently I bumped into her and she said she’s considering reporting me for rape since I ruined her relationship, I’m terrified even though I know I’m innocent. I have the messages of her saying not to tell anyone about what happened but I’m just curious would that be enough to prove my innocence? Thanks for reading if anyone did🙂

I (15M) went to my friend, David's birthday party at his house. He told me that I was allowed to use his computer to watch a live event in a ROBLOX game I play. (I only wanted to see the live event so it would give me the free item) Around 2 hours into the party his cousin, Vladimir comes in and doesn't do anything except watch YouTube shorts on his phone. He didn't say a word to any of us and when we all got tired of staying inside, we decided we wanted to go out to David's neighbours forest. The only problem we had was that I wanted to see the event but we wouldn't have time to go to the forest if we waited for me so I decided to just leave an autoclicker on while we went to the forest. I asked Vladimir if he wanted to come with us and he just ignored me. We left for the forest for about 45 minutes until David's Mom called him telling him to come back for dinner. Everyone else went into the kitchen while I decided to go see if I got the free item. I come back to see Vladimir still there on his phone while my ROBLOX window says ''Error code 267,''If anyone here plays ROBLOX then you might now that error code means you got suspended/banned.
I closed out of the ROBLOX window and refreshed the page to see that my account had been terminated for ''child endangerment.'' I turned to Vlad and asked him if he went on my account, He ignored me so I grabbed his phone and threw it to the wall and asked him again, He pushed me and went over to see his phone. I grabbed him and started hitting him. He had a bloody nose and a few cuts from my nails digging into his back. David walked up and saw me beating the shit out of Vladimir and he separated us. Vladimir admitted to David that he had went on my ROBLOX account and said extremely NSFW things that I wont even repeat inside the chat. I cant appeal because ROBLOX wont believe me if I tell them that it wasn't me. I've had that account since 2016 and was worth around 1000$ of items. I know beating up the guy was a bit much but I was pretty mad that he got rid of 8 years of progress.

My mother in law is a classic boomer narc emotional abuser. If my husband asks her to respect a boundary or lets her know she hurt him in anyway she absolutely plays the victim in such a huge dramatic psychotic way. A few months ago she went full spiral from hell complete with suicide threats. She harassed me and stressed me out while I was pregnant. She created a flying monkey with one son who jumps to her defense in a second and talks so much crap about me. Smear campaigns the whole 9. She’s just a miserable vile human unless she’s being kept happy.
I 10000% stand by if any normal human heard story of what happened in December that no one would side with her. And def no one would blame me but then there’s my husband.
The day it started I tried letting him know what she did upset me. I felt violated in my own house. His first response was she wouldn’t do that and I’m known to be dramatic. And keep in mind I was pregnant for months he fought me on this. There was a point it was so bad I seriously thought about divorce being the only viable option. I refuse to let another human being abuse me and def not my children so if he couldn’t see his mother was a whack job I couldn’t stay and it sucked because I love him more than anyone I’ve ever known. We genuinely have no other real issues. Normal couple stuff here and there but overall we are insanely compatible except with his mom and it broke my heart he would let his own abuser break us up.
Months of fighting and I still he started to understand. We def seem to be more on the same page. Even if we see things different we can agree on some core issues. In that time she’s continued to cross his boundaries because she can’t help herself lol literally she makes it worse for herself by the second she’s so psychotic. But in her head she’s a victim always 1000000000% of the time. She’s also absolutely delusional.
Anyway. I don’t care what she does as long as I can stay no contact and our kids are protected from her. If he wants a relationship for god knows what reason I support it. I do realize he’s an abuse victim. So many things seems normal to him because she’s been abusing him since birth. His entire existence was created to make her happy. I personally have u fortunately Ron the gauntlet of abuse by my own parents and I really do believe emotional is up there with one of the hardest to overcome because that’s literally how you’re raised and taught to act. So I give him grace and I’m trying to work on myself and now i react to things.
Mother’s Day though. Pretty sure it broke me. I’m trying to get over it but idk if I can or how long it’ll take. The morning was a stupid grumpy morning because we are both exhausted adults with babies so I get it. But I saw a notification on Facebook that he tagged me in something. In the past he’s written really sweet stuff about me on occasion and I really thought that’s what it was. I was excited to read it but when I opened the page it’s a one line basic happy Mother’s Day but to me and his mom. She’s blocked because seeing her name on anything literally gives me anxiety and I want to vomit and he thought this was a good idea.
Of course I lost it. I was so hurt. And he says “I shouldn’t have to choose between my wife and mother” that’s what broke me. You know what he’s right he shouldn’t but it’s not my fault. He said he didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings etc. so he chose to hurt mine who literally hasn’t done anything but hold his mom accountable to protect our kids. He could’ve written something nice and still posted something separate for his mom on her wall if he really felt like it. Or honestly just dont Post anything which wouldnt hurt as bad.
So the mother of his children who works her as off taking care of two under two, keeping the house as clean as possible, dinner every night, pack his lunch for work, work on myself and apologize if I do hurt his feelings, the woman he’s supposedly loves gets nothing because for forbid we hurt the mother who’s done nothing but act like a lunatic for 6 months.
I know he truly believes it’s both of us and it’s not. It’s her fault. She’s unwell. She’s miserable. She’s manipulative and actually emotionally abusive. So go cry we can never have a normal relationship with her. I don’t care. I’ll be the villian to protect my kids and hopefully now that I feel absolutely nothing but emptiness it won’t hurt anymore. I’m literally broken.
