In their own house, under their roof, and especially at our dinner table, there would be no limit on the boasting and the bragging, and in fact, we wanted to hear every single accomplishment or moment of joy, delivered with as much swagger as they\u2019d like.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasmonthly.com\/being-texan\/dallas-judge-bubbliest-wedding-officiant\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dallas\u2019s bubbliest wedding officiant<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/lifeandstyle\/2025\/sep\/25\/people-say-i-come-across-as-incredibly-boring-how-to-find-love-on-the-dating-apps-whatever-the-obstacles\" target=\"_blank\">Real people\u2019s tips for dating on the apps<\/a>. \u201cJoseph, 42, from Liverpool, is an advocate for finding your niche: he met his partner on\u2026vegan and vegetarian dating app Grazer.\u201d (The Guardian)<\/p>\n<p>I want to live in <a href=\"https:\/\/go.shopmy.us\/p-26328203\" target=\"_blank\">these sweater sweats<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mollyreeder.com\/shop\/2026-illustrated-calendar-pre-sale\" target=\"_blank\">A beautiful calendar for 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/observer.co.uk\/news\/columnists\/article\/many-peppa-pig-fans-conclude-that-daddy-pig-looks-a-bit-like-their-own-father\" target=\"_blank\">In Peppa Peg, does Daddy Pig deserve his bumbling reputation<\/a>? \u201cDaddy Pig\u2026may be slightly overconfident but is also a warm, caring and attentive father, beloved by his family and seemingly everyone who lives within the topographically demented hills of Peppatown. He\u2019s also a civil engineer, like my own dad, so maybe I\u2019m drawn to forgive warm, caring fathers their foibles if they include the sort of overconfidence which once led my dad to proclaim he \u2018could speak most European languages at a push,\u2019 because he\u2019d learned Greek and Latin in school.\u201d (The Observer, via <a href=\"https:\/\/pandorasykes.substack.com\/p\/bits-47-892\" target=\"_blank\">Pandora Sykes<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kqzyfj.com\/click-5347837-14519783?sid=campaign1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.madewell.com%2Fp%2Fwomens%2Fclothing%2Fsweaters%2Fpullovers%2Fstriped-pullover-sweater-in-alpaca-blend%2FNX559%2F%3Fccode%3DSR8521\" target=\"_blank\">Digging this color combo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Omg, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DOrC46Rjrwb\/?img_index=1\" target=\"_blank\">this is how bumblebees nap<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, two reader comments:<\/p>\n<p>Says Eva on <a href=\"https:\/\/cupofjo.com\/2025\/09\/22\/toby-and-anton-in-conversation-4\/\" target=\"_blank\">kids in conversation<\/a>: \u201cHere\u2019s a recent gem from my six-year-old:<br \/>Dad to kid: \u2018You smell like broccoli.\u2019<br \/>Kid to dad: \u2018You smell like lasagna.\u2019<br \/>Me: \u2018Do me!

I\u2019m in a comfortable career, and a few years ago, I had the opportunity to level up and step into that fantasy version of myself. But after mulling it over, I said \u2018no\u2019. The thing that kept tripping me up was, who will take care of my dog? I would\u2019ve had to use some of my new money to pay someone to do the thing I love doing. It turned out I didn\u2019t want to give up anything I love in order to have more money.
