Woodworking Ideas: Creative & Effective
Story 1:
My MIL insists on making her lasagna whenever we visit. It always has a metallic taste. My husband says that I should eat to not offend his mom and to please her.
Today, I overheard them secretly talk. To my horror, it was about me. I froze when he said, “Mom, she started to suspect we’re adding those vitamins to her food to help her get pregnant.” The words hit me like a wave.
I’ve been trying to get pregnant for three years. At some point, I gave up completely. I had tried everything. Every method, every diet, every recommendation—nothing worked. Eventually, I let go of the hope because holding on had become too painful.
My MIL knew how much we wanted a baby. She’d always gently encourage me not to give up. But knowing I had and not wanting to hurt me by reminding me of what I’d lost, she and my husband decided—out of love—to secretly add fertility vitamins to my food, hoping they’d help.
I stood there in tears, shocked, overwhelmed, but deeply touched. I haven’t gotten pregnant yet, but now I take those vitamins every morning, this time, with hope.
Story 2:
I got really into watching cooking fails, thought I’d never be that guy. One day, I decided to make a five-layer rainbow crêpe cake. Used food coloring, stacked it, even piped the frosting. Went to chill it overnight—turns out I used gelatin for the wrong ratio.
In the morning, it looked like a melted clown. Posted a pic on Reddit for laughs… it went viral. People started DMing me for the “recipe.”
