I picked up a 3D printer.

Can we get this thread like once a week or every other week or something? This is awesome

This summer is my first ever in 42 years I have a "beach body". I'm totally getting a sick Spider-Man costume for Holloween/comic con.

I was a single, almost 40 years old and happy but somewhat lonely dude 2 years ago.

Now I have a wonderful wife and my twin boy and girl are the sweetest little bunches of joy I can imagine. Additional, my mum sold her house and now we have enoth money to take a year of work and care for the kids together.

I'm tiered and, i am exhausted, but feel so endlessy blessed and happy every time I look at my wife or my children.

My union renegotiated our contract and it means I have enough coverage to get a crown for this tooth I just broke, the coverage literally doubled.

My cat. Sure its not recent. But my cat 😃

After a long recovery I can finally start working out again

Also I have an amazing dog that I love and I'm thankful for him every day.

Two specific things.

1. My wife & I bought a house! 🎉
2. My doctors got me on ozempic because i have hypothyroidism & i literally cannot lose weight. Ive dropped 20 lbs in a month & a half!

My garden in the back of my house started producing spinach, kale, arugula, and lettuce. Still waiting on the green beans, zucchini, and cucumbers. But the garden is absolutely blowing up. So I've been entirely invested in it.

This is a nice thread. I don't have any big achievements recently but I'm doing alright. Hope you are too.

I just had my first serious art show. Not solo, but still.

My post-surgery biopsy says no cancer, we removed the sad stuff just in time.

We bought a house with some farmland and moved in a few months ago. My farming ventures have been hit or miss ("learning how not to do it" as some might put it), but we had some fruit trees/bushes. We now have ume (plum) jam and are still into fresh blueberries and biwa (loquat). It's really nice to be able to eat things from our own land when they are most fresh and delicious.

i fought a traffic ticket and won lol

Me and my wife finally got an apartment after being homeless couch surfers for 6 months

My BF and I are getting married soon! :D

I'm super excited. We live across borders, so I will finally be able to live with him. So much more time for fun stuff like camping and climbing, and even just normal stuff like reading or cooking together.

We got a new puppy, and he's smart, and sweet, and goofy, and cute, and we love him.

On Sunday, my family and I watched 3 dolphins play in the boat wake, 5m away, for 4 minutes, as we came back into dock.

Wonderful.

After 7 years of trying, I'm finally going back to university this year to get the degree i always wanted :D

I just started working after years of covid reclusiveness. Almost 3 months into wotking and im physically feeling better.

My partner and I replaced the broken kitchen faucet all by ourselves, which might sound lame, but neither of us is a plumber, and it's glorious to have running water in the kitchen again.

I was on Lemmy and saw a post where a user named TooManyPancakes (which is a lie!) asked everyone for some uplifting news to brighten their day.

It was a wonderful exchange! This caring person, with the poorly chosen user name, took time out of their day to reply to as many comments as they could, with uplifting affirmations of their own.

Completely made my day to see someone ask for help and then return it in kind, many times over. ❤️❤️❤️

I had ear surgery yesterday that will hopefully help with my hearing loss and sinus drainage. I’ve been waiting for almost two years for this hoping that my country would start to cover the procedure but finally said fuck it, it’s worth it for my quality of life. Feeling like I have a head cold today, but without the sick feeling. So far I think I can hear better already but not sure if it’s just wishful thinking lol. I’m cautiously optimistic!

This is a great thread, definitely cheered me and a lot of other people up. Thanks!

I was awarded a big scholarship on Sunday that happened to be the exact amount I needed to pay for my first year of college. The rest of my years are mostly paid for. I've always want to go to this college. I was excited about going, but now I'm even more excited now that I've earned enough scholarships to pay for it.

Cooked my first beer can chicken today and it turned out great! Two whole chickens and a cast iron pan of cornbread on the smoker, cucumber salad, watermelon, and lemon bars for dessert. Had the ex over for dinner and she brought ex—MiL, but it was fun

Yesterday my toddler comes up to me and says, "daddy, build block tower?" So I tell her to go get her blocks, which she does. We built a block tower, knocked it down (which makes her giggle), built it again, etc.

A decade ago I was in a horribly toxic marriage and honestly didn't think I would ever have kids. Today, I have an awesome wife and three kids. I love all of them and I enjoy getting to spend time with them. I never would have imagined myself being where I am today and I am reminded often that I am a very lucky man.

Thank you for this thread. Nothing particular I can share right now, but I needed this.

Found a woman that is exactly as weird and different as I am, which I thought was impossible, I was already fine with staying romantically alone my whole life :)

My partner of 12 years and mother of my children got citizenship in my home country a few days ago. It's been a long and difficult road to get here.

I crushed it in a job interview

My haphazard kid driven fish tank has babies somehow

I got hired!

Granted, my bike was stolen pretty much immediately, but still! I'm exited to potentially not be broke anymore, once that first paycheck comes in.

My life happened to end but I came back.

Additionally, since I'm from Europe I am not bankrupt due to that.

I’m taking my health a lot more seriously now, and haven been able to lose 10kg since may.

I bought a 75" TV last week and, as soon as I finish my CD, I am going to download a mod-ultimate version of Fallout New Vegas, and spend several months melting into my couch and playing it.

My son is helping me put a front and rear tow hook on and will be my engineer and copilot on our first track day next week.

We have helmets and everything, can't wait!

Our second wedding anniversary is this weekend!
