One of the sweetest things I've seen online was a gravestone with a cupcake recipe on the back. The wife/mom/grandma died and before her death she asked for the recipe that everyone in the family loved to be engraved on the back of the gravestone so everyone knows how to make it themselves. It just felt so sweet and loving.

[@kiwid3628]

A little while ago I found an account online that would make recipes that people put on their gravestones. I don't remember the account name but I think it's such a sweet idea for people to pass on their secret recipes after they die. The way I see it, it's a great way to keep their legacy alive and share it with the world

8:12 Time blindness isn't an issue when someone is saying in your face, "Hey we need to go, we need to get to the ship." They were just being entitled. Time blindness would have only come in if they had turned around and said we'll go in a minute when the kid finally gave up and said they were leaving. Then they would be like, "Oh we hadn't realized so much time had passed." But instead they were, "Why didn't you make them wait for us." Putting thr blame on the adult child instead of on their own actions or inactions.

[@teratsukielizabeth543]

Yeah, this. And time blindness is often a symptom of ADHD. It's not a one-off thing, it's a condition and is distressing. The parents are deliberately ignoring the time warning

[@kuchipatchichrist]

Exactly! I hate it when people use time blindness as an excuse for their behaviour. It’s a serious issue and people like this make it seem ridiculous and childish. Edit to clarify: I know this couple didn’t use time blindness as an excuse but I’m speaking generally.

[@Unic0rnSnot]

The cruise ship story makes me so crazy. I went on a cruise and the FIRST thing they tell you is “DO NOT BE LATE FOR EMBARKATION WE WILL LEAVE YOU.” Like literally. Every time we docked to go ashore, there was a literal hallway of staff reminding us what all-aboard time was, and to make sure we were wearing watches that synced up with the SHIP’S time because not all ports were on the same time zone. It’s so so so stupid to me that these people literally thought a whole ass cruise ship would WAIT for them. Like WHAT.

[@nicjoy4407]

I don't want to judge them too much, but they sounded a little stuck up to me.

[@yeshevishman]

​@@nicjoy4407a little stuck up!?!?? When you blame your 18 year old kid for NOT being able to control a cruise ship for YOUR convenience, that's MUCH more than "a little stuck up!" That's just...bad parenting! One of THE worst things a parent can do is blame a kid for their own mistakes!

[@rainbomg]

@@yeshevishmanpart of me wonders if the parents are maybe just joking about it like, maybe they’ll say “don’t leave us again” in a joking kinda way if the daughter is leaving the room? But most of me knows that anyone who gives a gift with the caveat of that gift being a bunch of other things, some of which include your loyalty and consideration while using said gift, is a jerk. Plus they probably bend the rules all the time, most people with money do. Blaming the daughter takes away from the cognitive dissonance of the notion that you aren’t inherently entitled to special treatment and the world, including your kid who was given a loaded birthday/graduation “gift” you forced her to bring you along for, doesn’t revolve around you. A real graduation/birthday gift would have been a cruise for the daughter and one of her friends. I’m looking in my crystal ball and I’m seeing a future stressful wedding that’s gonna be a real shit show bc of these people paying for it. My advice is, take their money bc they’ll be this way whether or not they paid, their excuses will just be different. Still tho, great problems to have compared to many of the alternatives

[@welcome2myhappyworld]

I'm wondering if they thought the cruise would wait because a child's parents weren't with them. Obviously, the girl I'd old enough to survive without her parents, but it made me wonder: What if a four year old wandered back to the ship alone... would they wait for the parents?

[@nicjoy4407]

My husband was in a wheelchair for almost a year before he had his surgery, and this person is definitely NTA. It was really tough to do even mild slopes and sidewalks with him in the wheelchair and he and the wheelchair was about 200lbs. Pushing a 600lb person plus wheelchair over grass... I would get about ten feet before giving up lol

[@bmljenny]

It wouldn't be safe honestly. You hit one small rock and the chair could tip over, and then you'd have to call 911 to get her back up. If they really wanted this cousin to be there, someone could have helped them rent a U-Haul utility trailer to put the scooter into - for $35 you can rent a utility trailer with a ramp.

just quickly on the first one, as a disabled person (not obese, just a cripple), i would be SO embarrassed if someone was asked to go OUT OF STATE to essentially babysit me. and the whole "unacceptable venue" thing is really fucking simple. you, as a guest, do not matter nearly as much as the bride and groom. the one time id say otherwise is if you are INSANELY close to the people getting married, then its like ok, maybe they should have been a little more considerate. regardless, op's cousin is a massive AH for many reasons.

[@cynthiaholland13]

Yes I agree. If the attendee is in the immediate family of the Bride or the groom and they still pick a venues that's not accessible, I think that would be short-sighted.

[@seabass819]

As a certified fat man, op is NTA, the reality is, there are things us fats just can't do, unless we put in the work to lose the weight. It's hard, and may feel impossible, but it's not.

[@IloveTennisballs]

[@ryanmackenzie6109]

Entirely agree that OP was NTA, but it is a shame that other accommodations couldn't have been made. But the cousin was definitely in the wrong. You not only have to account for their weight, the weight of the chair, but ALSO the pushers weight, and the contact surface with the ground. That's probably close to 750-800lbs being moved through the grass on thin asf wheels and two feet. The grass will give with extreme ease. I've had to push my mom and her electric wheelchair through the grass more than once, it is no easy feat, and that was much less than 600lbs.

[@micahm7123]

Right?! I can't believe people don't understand that. And I get it, some people are overweight naturally and can't lose that extra weight because of their body limits and such. But 600 FREAKING POUNDS!?!??! That is entirely your fault and it's selfish to make other people carry you around instead of going through the hard labour of losing it

same here. I've been late to plenty of things thanks to it. But that is entirely my own problem and my own fault to deal with. You know when you have time blindness. Its always going to get you, and you just have to be responsible for staying on top of it in any way you can manage when its especially important. And if you fall victim to it that sucks, but you just have to deal with the consequences. The only people they should have been upset with is their selves for not listening. The kid warned them again and again and gave them a final 'we need to go now'. I could only dream of having someone who would do that for me lol. time management would be so much less stressful! I've been on a cruise ship and they are VERY clear that embarkation will happen no matter if you are on the boat or not. we were all told by the security guy as they let us off, to be back on the boat at least 30 minutes before the boat leaves port.

It'll be one thing if they were busy, but the father said they refused to help. Refused is a strong word. I'm sure if they were just busy, the father would have mentioned it.

It's important to know your limitations. My mother has rheumatoid arthritis, and had two total knee replacements when I was 15. She needed a wheelchair during her recovery period, and I spent a lot of time helping her with it. Using a wheelchair on an uneven surface is no joke. I had a tough time pushing my mother across grassy terrain, and she is a fairly small human. At 15, I was a couple inches taller than her, and my weight was probably within 20lbs of her weight. It is not realistic to expect OP to be able to push his cousin's wheelchair in a park. I can't imagine the cousin wouldn't have been embarrassed by showing up and having everyone witnessing OP trying and failing to push her across the park. NTA.

I don't know what caused OP's cousin to get to that weight as it could be genetics, medication, mental health, a medical condition, and a variety of other things. A physically and mentally healthy individual generally does not get to that weight. But as someone who does have mobility issues, none of us can really rely on anyone to fully accommodate us unless they're a carer. I find it incredibly strange that the aunt and uncle aren't available because it sounds like they're her carers and basically abandoned her. It's just an all round bad situation. It's not fair for the cousin to take it out on other people but I can guarantee the cousin probably has a lot of pent up issues surrounding it and I hope they get the help they need.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but there are companies that will put tank treads on mobilized scooters specifically for going off-road. One of my friends does a lot of volunteer work taking disabled veterans out hunting and they apparently work great. I haven’t seen one in action yet, mind you, but her vets don’t seem to have any issues with getting around, according to her! (Worth noting, we live in the Midwest, so we don’t really have mountains here, results may vary)

[@Qwertylol]

Also, I actually know someone similar to the last one! (Both David and Amanda, too) One of my good friends when I was in high school, we’ll call him F, dated this girl, we’ll call her M (no, her name doesn’t start with M actually). F and M broke it off, but kept in touch, and F joined the military. M would always be around whenever F was in town, and she’d be all over him, flirting, teasing, or just generally finding an excuse to touch him. Basically, they’d act like a couple would. Only in the years since F was away for basic training and school, M had gotten MARRIED. Everyone else could see that M was stringing F along, she had him wrapped around her finger. I had dated F briefly, but I broke it off because whenever M was around, I was second fiddle to her. I don’t know if he just didn’t realize what she was doing to him, or he didn’t realize how he acted around her, but I stopped talking to both of them after we broke up. Hope they’re both happy.

[@GogiRegion]

This is really good to know! I don't personally need it or know anyone with the need currently, but that's really cool and I'll keep it in mind. Also, helping disabled veterans with activities like hunting sounds really cool! It's always good to see people who need extra help get what they need.

[@Qwertylol]

@@GogiRegion a lot of it is less about the hunting part, and more about just getting veterans out in nature. There’s a really cool thing called the “three day effect” or the “rule of three days” in psychology where it was found that spending three days out in nature has vast benefits to mental and physical health, and there has been research showing that it also helps with PTSD and even boosts your bodies natural ability to heal. One of my best friends, whenever he was out in nature for a few days, would come home and his blood pressure would be lower, his mental health was better, and his cancer numbers would be better. I am a firm believer that the best medicine is a combination of modern medicine and wild medicine 😊

On the cruise ship story- this is a great scenario to say “I’m sorry that that situation was inconvenient for you, let’s all get on the same page next time so this doesn’t happen again” especially if they insist on blaming you. Maybe add “what do we need to do so that we are all able to enjoy the rest of our time here”. Sometimes if you can’t accept blame you can still help people move on

[@fanime1]

Pffffftttttttt..... You've never had toxic parents before, have you? Let me put it this way, what emotionally mature and healthy adult would blame their child for a cruise ship leaving without them?

[@rkj5258]

@@fanime1 how else do you shift the blame while not pissing them off?

[@fibanocci314]

@rkj5258 You don't. If they truly are toxic parents (and the story does suggest so), then nothing less than fully accepting the blame and groveling for apology will be acceptable to them. And even then, they will continue to bring it up for years. Any discussion of cruise ships, OP's graduation or 18th birthday, whatever location they were doing the cruise in (up to and including the continent), even possibly other things like other people's kids graduating and turning eighteen, etc. will trigger anything from a poke to a rant about that time you let a cruise ship they didn't even want to go on abandon them in a foreign country and it cost SO MUCH MONEY to catch up so that they could try to continue the vacation they were doing solely for you in the first place.

12:09-12:36 I admit, I struggle with jealousy pretty regularly (with women who look how I want to look, have the body that I want to have, are dating or in a relationship, or are achieving their dreams). (I'm even Kelly's age now. 25.) My jealousy is a terrible vice, and one I'm working on, but that advice you gave honestly put things into perspective for me. If there are things I want, I can have them. I just have to "notice what they have done in their behavior to be successful, and notice what you are doing in your behavior that's making you jealous of them." It may have meant nothing to you saying that, but it meant something to me, so thank you!!

As someone who cooks as a hobby and has a ton of personal recipes, the exact person who that would happen with, the cake one is really interesting to me. My recipes are just ingredient ratios if it uses standard cooking techniques, assuming that the person reading them (only me right now) are experienced with cooking and can figure the recipe out just from the ratios and a one sentence description. If I died, nobody I know would be able to use most of them. If a loved one of mine sold my recipes off to a bakery/restaurant after I died, I would be honored.

"🎶 You gotta account, for the weeeight of the wheelchair 🎶" 🔥

[@Sitskier123]

To answer your question Daniel as a person in a wheelchair who has attended weddings that haven’t been the most accessible, it really depends on where it is. Most people who use wheelchairs can get across some level of grass and be perfectly fine. Obviously mud can be an issue and sand is a major issue for moving around. Most weddings I’ve seen have had some type of temporary boardwalk to get across rougher terrain, but if it’s not possible to have that then you just have to push through it and deal with it (not easy and some will have harder times and need a hand, but it is not physically impossible in most cases) honestly it’s just something we have to deal with, but it’s not anything new. Every day is a challenge to get through life finding the accessible way so it honestly gets tiring to complain about things and I find it better to just deal with it and treat it all like it’s not a big deal. Yes, it’s an inconvenience, but it’s not my place to get angry with someone because the world wasn’t designed around my disability. If I have to get out of my chair and crawl up a few flights of stairs then so be it. Great to see you asking the question though and sorry that’s a good bit of info, but thought I’d share the perspective :)

As someone who likes to bake, i would be over the moon if I'd made a recipe and a bakery thought it was good enough they wanted to have permission to regular sell it, like that is so cool!

[@elin_]

I think the bakery should name the cake somehow after the woman who made it.. even if the husband doesn't require it.

[@Blackcivicsi1]

As to the 'abielest' comment (since the rest is obvious): i think it comes down to 'not your wedding'. If you cant go because of a wheelchair then you cant go, just as with any other situation. If you arent close enough to make special arrangements with them then its not that big of a deal to ruin the day for them.

Daniel, if you massage the kale it becomes a flavour bomb of goodness. I spent 6 years chewing boney spinach before I found a recipe that said you have to massage those bad boys til they darken and release nice aromas. It's the GOAT I'm telling you

[@ElectricZinnia]

Hi daniel i love how you follow your music passions but also your comedy passions. Keep it up! ❤

[@furygeist]

I'll put it this way, if you are a key figure in the wedding/party/event and are mobility disabled, the ppl holding said event will consult you on accommodations. But if you are just a regular guest, you can just say "I truly wish you the best and hope you have an amazing time, but I will be unable to make the event." If they ask why, you can then explain that the venue is not accessible to you and your particular disabilities and that's not on the hosts, it's just how it is. So you'll be there in spirit and supporting them from afar. I've had to bow out of events because my asthma said a big fat no to the weather or my back and lungs couldn't handle hills. Ive had to let my friends know that if I bow out of an event, I'm not doing ut cuz I didn"t want to come, it's cuz Im just not able to attend with my health intact. Took me going to the ER after some outdoor birthday parties to learn I couldn't just grin and bear it anymore. Does it suck? Yeah. But that's just life. Everyone has limitations, some of us just have more than others. Good friends and family understand and don't hold it against you.

[@PureBeauty511]

I know the cousins said they didn't have a ton of money to spend on a solution to the wheelchair problem, but couldn't they look into hiring a large man to push the wheelchair for a day? Like, a large, muscly nurse or security guard or someone who moves furniture for a living?

[@Pikaman20008]

600 pounds is still a lot for one person to handle. They have two people carry large items when moving for a reason.

[@fanime1]

I like to watch My 600 lb life when I draw and people that heavy often need MULTIPLE people to lift them around. That's why many of them are bed or house ridden.

[@PureBeauty511]

@@Pikaman20008 Good point, although I would argue that lifting/carrying is not the same as pushing around on wheels. Another thing they may not have considered is getting wider tires for the wheelchair, I'm sure there are some available that are meant to be used on different terrain.

[@Fates1Embrace]

I’m disabled as well as overweight, if my best friend had a dream wedding that wasn’t accessible I would either go to the reception if it was accessible or not go. She deserves her dream wedding. We can celebrate separately. I feel guilty going on days out, because if I take the electric chair, it’s heavy & has to be disassembled/assembled, if I take the manual then someone has to push me over bad terrain. So if someone would prefer not to take me due to these issues, I completely understand & will find other ways to spend time together. Also, the reason that rental places won’t rent for off road is because of how much wear & tear different terrains put on the wheels, the breaks, the suspension, battery etc, especially if the person is heavier, which will just add to the speed of deterioration for the vehicle. I once asked if the NHS would be able to provide me with a chair (I would be willing to pay for it but I just wanted a private reliable company to service the chair, as an independent company screwed me over & endangered me) they would only be able to provide a manual, the motorised ones could only be used inside, for similar reasons. So for multiple reasons the first person is not the A.

[@freewave04]

5:28 you don’t get to 600 lbs overnight, surely this is not the first event they’ve missed out on due to their circumstances; however, what part of the truck can’t carry the mobility scooter?

[@helenl3193]

Daniel misread it, the parents wouldn't lend them the truck because of the op's bad driving history. (Tbf it might be an insurance issue, too) Op said it wouldn't fit in their own car, which I can well believe; I have a fairly standard collapsible wheelchair and even that doesn't fit in a lot of car boots/trunks.

[@helenl3193]

Also, no need to bodyshame - we have no idea what that person has gone through. I'm borderline underweight and have friends who are much physically fitter than I am while being classed as obese on the BMI scale. They aren't 500lbs, but there's so much scrutiny, assumptions and judgement put on people about weight and it doesn't do anything positive

The last story sounds like a sister post to a reddit story called "My (28F) boyfriend (29M) and his best friend (29F) are going on a week-long vacation. They uninvited me" which was likely posted by the brother's ex girlfriend, as the entire situation was very similar to what was described here.
