Is this an overlook off the BR parkway?

1. Get off your high horse of weed being healthier than prescription medication.

2. I’m not a doctor (but clearly neither are you) but I doubt you actually have ADHD… Weed exacerbates my ADHD symptoms. Attempting to treat my disability with weed would NOT work for me.

3. Let’s say you’re correct and you do have ADHD and vaping a sativa strain really does help you. Well everyone is different and not every medication or treatment program is going to be a solution for everyone (for any condition, not just ADHD.) So either way, gtfo of here with the attitude that weed is the only solution anyone could possibly need and all of us are just victims for thinking otherwise.

I think state regulations might vary. Where I am, every three months I HAVE to have an appointment to get a refill prescription for my Adderall. But fortunately my psych is still doing virtual appointments, which is a lot less disruptive to my workday.

Your use of “chemist” makes me think you’re out of the US.

Most ADHD meds in the US are “controlled substances” and that means our doctors can only prescribe up to three months at a time. After three months we have to have a follow-up appointment, then they can prescribe three more months of meds.

Plus the federal government decided that too many people were taking medications like Adderall. So their “solution” was to instate a cap on how much Adderall manufacturers can make. Which means there’s now a national shortage of Adderall. And that shortage means folks with ADHD are frequently going without their meds entirely or are forced to call multiple pharmacies in the area to ask who has their meds in stock. (My health insurance through work requires me to use a mail-order pharmacy because it means cost savings for them. But that means I don’t have the luxury of shopping around different stores to see who has my meds in stock - at least, not to fill the prescription through insurance and get the lower price. So if the mail order place is out, then I’m screwed.)

Our healthcare system is so fucked.

Awesome, this worked. Thank you!

If anyone knows where to buy one of these decals, please let me know. My parents bought a Tesla several years ago because of environmentally friendly ambitions and I’d love to get them one of these decals. I tried to Google it but “car logo decal” wasn’t getting me results like this meme shows.

Apparently it was first identified in Labrador, Canada. Which I didn’t know until your comment inspired me to find out where the name comes from, so thanks!

Sorry this isn’t a dog comment either

I once read a book without punctuation. It was very difficult to read! It was about a hypothetical apocalypse where everyone suddenly goes blind.

“Blindness” by José Saramago

I don’t specifically recommend it though.

Good luck writing your book 🙂

Cool! I hadn’t heard that term (chords) before today. Do you have to press both buttons at precisely the same time or is it more forgiving, like CTRL+C, etc?

I type too many numbers every day to give up my num pad, so I’ve never bothered to research tiny keebs since 98-100% works well for me.

But aesthetically I do really like the small footprint on your desk!

I work in QA so my desk is always cluttered with hardware. I already have a separate numpad at work (after going TKL and regretting it lol) so I’ve been considering going much smaller for my next build. I still don’t think I could give up a stand-alone backspace key though 😁

How do you survive without backspace?

It sounds like your ADHD diagnosis is helping you with some introspection! I think you should discuss this with your wife so the two of you can come up with some strategies that will help you both get back to an activity that you both enjoy together.

You may be irritated at “being told what to do” because of Opposition Defiance Disorder, which is often comorbid with ADHD.

Or maybe you’re hyperfocused on your own morning routine and getting irritated at being interrupted when your wife asks you to do things.

But to me, this sounds like a communication issue more than an ADHD issue.

Is your wife asking you to take care of things related to the hike? “Can you fill up the water bottles? Can you pack the snacks? Where should we go today?” These are all things that could be planned/prepped at a different time, like the night before. Maybe doing so would be less stressful.

Or is your wife assigning you to-do list items unrelated to the hike? “Can you wash the dishes? Can you call X this week to ask about plans for Y?” Again, these assignments could be discussed or completed at a different time or in a different way (i.e. shared list with to-do items she could add for both of you.)

If it’s the latter, why does your wife feel like she needs to assign you tasks in your household? Is there a chore imbalance that could be addressed? (Is your ADHD otherwise affecting your shared household management tasks?) Is your wife more of the “project manager” and she’s the one keeping track of what needs to get done every week? If yes, please for the sake of your relationship, look into the concept of emotional labor. I’d also suggest looking into Fair Play Life. Potentially you and your wife could reorganize how responsibilities are split so that she no longer needs to ask you to do things, and thus you stop getting annoyed at a growing to-do list of assigned tasks.

If it’s a paid service your psychiatrist uses and your doctor trusts the results, then I would too.

Why do you doubt the results if you’re trying to get help? Isn’t that the point of reaching out to a doctor in the first place?

Everything in your bulleted list sounds like ADHD to me. The fact that you wrote out a post of your thoughts which included a bulleted list sounds like ADHD to me.

I’m not a professional of course. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a child, so I’ve lived with this for a long time. The quote in your post could have applied to me as a hyperactive child on some days but does not apply to me now; not just from maturing and aging, but also a lifetime of developing coping skills and self-restraint.

But regardless, everyone is different. I wouldn’t put too much in stock with one quote.

But also, I have no idea what a creyos ADHD assessment is either. If it’s just some free online test I wouldn’t necessarily put too much in stock with its results either…

But yeah, it sounds like ADHD to me

Dang, we definitely missed that restaurant! I’ll add it to the list because I’m determined to go back to Iceland some day.

I thought this looked familiar!

We drove past this airport on our way to Dynjandi waterfall - I saw a video of this waterfall online and it largely inspired our entire trip to Iceland (plus cheap direct flights in the peak of Icelandic tourism in the beforefore times, pre-COVID.)

That afternoon we also went and visited the Icelandic Sea Monster Museum in Bíldudalur.

But hands down, our favorite part of our trip was visiting a hot spring spa that also specializes in baking rye bread 🤤

We spent half of our trip exploring the Westfjords, I’d love to go back to Iceland someday to do more exploring in other parts of the country. And to go back to Laugarvatn Fontana!

I love him

Fixed cats live longer. Spaying decreases the likelihood of cats developing certain types of cancers.

Friends of mine literally last week had to put their cat down because she developed breast cancer and rapidly deteriorated (we’re talking painful skin ulcers here.) If the cat had been spayed at a young age, she would likely still be here.

And as others have said, spaying is the wise choice in case she were ever to accidentally get outside.

I’m obsessed with this photo. I love all the subtle changes in the colors of the reflections on the windows.

Were you just in the right place at the right time, or were you specifically trying to capture this?

Everything about this is amazing. The spooning. The multitude of curled feetsies. The pudgy belly with the black tail curl on top. 10/10

I love his coat coloring! Like the front half is tuxedo and the back half is tortie. What a cutie pie.
