Have you ever made holidays in Russia?

I ask non-russians and where have you been to there?

Every time I feel drained as a parent I remember my own mum and cry!

No one tells you that you will see yourself in your kids

My Roommate Loves To Sing

I'm a bit of a singer myself. I've been training my voice for it a long time now, and when I moved into this place with my roommate (R) just over a year ago, I was worried my belting might be a problem. Luckily, the upstairs neighbours didn't mind. They heard me pretty clear pretty quick after I moved in, and they complimented my voice, which encouraged me to sing a lot more around the house.
This has lead to R *also* singing around the house a lot more. And oh my god he's so tone deaf. Always singing flat and off key, confidantly belting incorrect lyrics, no breath control, I hate it every time he gets into the groove. He's so fucking bad, and I especially hate it when he butchers songs I really like.
I have not, and do not plan on, telling him this outside of that one time he was so hilariously flat that I accidentally laughed out loud at him.

Doing a good deed in the hospital

I was an inpatient at the local hospital. As they wheeled me in my room all of a sudden it felt very cold air temperature wise. I said hello to my new roommate, I'll call him "Dave" an 80+ year old gentleman with his wife I'll call her "Maryanne" at his bedside around the clock and their oldest Son, Dan was visiting him. as the Gurney Transportation wheeled me into my room. Dave had been in the Hospital for one week and was having breathing issues. They were complaining to me that it was very cold in the room. The hospital had its air conditioning "ON" during the winter months. I was comfortable because I had brought from home a sleeping bag and big pillow. which gotta admit I never done before but kept me nice and toasty in the hospital. I admit I did brag at first that I did have one but then remembered about Jesuss telling the story about those who help their fellow person in need, He does to me!" So I used my cellphone placed a delivery order In order to place a delivery online I had to place a $50.00 order plus they adding fees for delivery and what not. So I bought a 12 pack of pop that i never drank, I donated that to the hospital staff. The drivery man said to me what do y

Weird / wonderful experience with music

I'm 31 and I've been casually listening to music my whole life, occasionally I would be moved, but usually it was background noise. For the last couple months I've been listening to music, actively, with my full focus.
I have what is diagnosed as overactive bladder, so that all the time, to varying degrees of intensity it feels like I need to pee, I have a hard time handling it, there is a constant single in my brain telling me something is wrong.
I was listening to dvorak's 6th symphony and in discomfort and instead of thinking of the notes as something separate from me I began to think of them as part of an entire moment, the notes and my body forming one unit. And , for the first time in a long time, I didn't think of my body as "wrong", my body and the notes were the same thing, and the notes were beautiful so I was beautiful, I wasn't wrong. And I wept. It only lasted a few minutes and I don't expect to replicate a feeling that intense, but it was amazing to feel that way for a bit.
I was sober btw

What was your best decision you made in 2026 so far?

I don’t want to get ahead of myself yet, but I’ve been eating pretty healthy, drinking less and staying active.
This is big for me and I’m feeling optimistic for 2026!

Suggestions for a gift to neighbour

We all keep to ourselves in my block of flats, but we had a medical emergency and the ambulance couldn't come due to the mess the weather has caused and the number of calls they'd received. They suggested it would be quicker if we made our own way. In the end, a neighbour took us to A&E in the middle of the night.
I'd like to thank him somehow but can't think of anything appropriate to gift him. All I know is that he's in his 30s, loves to play various sports and lives alone. I would've sent choccies and a 'Thank You' card, but I doubt he'd eat sweets with all his focus on fitness and sports.
Any suggestions? I don't want it to be awkward with some big display but, he genuinely saved a life here and I need him to know how grateful we are.
Edit/Update: Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions. I've decided to go for a gift hamper with an assortment of treats and some healthier options as well. I really appreciate everyone taking the time to offer suggestions!

I feel like I'm going to die

For the past couple days I have had this non stop feeling that I am gonna die this year. I can't shake it and it feels horrible I don't know what to do. It feels like with everything going on I am just a dead person walking.
