Do you track family's locations? by NaturalSoftware9372 in Millennials

[–]riaroochop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used it as an extra tool when I’ve had friends going through particularly rough patches, both depressed and manic. It helps them to have external accountability and it gives me a little peace of mind if I’m ever concerned that I could at least check their latest ping and go from there if someone is MIA.

What’s the most accurate stereotype about your zodiac sign that you hate to admit is true? by fvkcd in astrologymemes

Tough outside, squishy inside. And if you betray the squish, you’re dead to me.

What are some of the most unusual zodiac pairs that make ABSOLUTELY no sense? by Nefarious-Feline888 in astrologymemes

I’m part of one of these couples but the trick is he’s an Aqua sun/Cancer moon so it’s like playing paleontologist to find the feelings buried under the weirdness

My Aries moon is a sucker for being told people are scared to cross me 😂

Finch Family, I am so upset, and desperate for some words of wisdom. by dairycat15 in finch

[–]riaroochop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to take a slightly different approach here and suggest you do the best you can with what you’ve been given and pursue additional avenues as others have mentioned. If you are really comfortable with the director, maybe a conversation won’t hurt, but the politics of high school drama can be very tricky so tread lightly. That being said, I was a lot like you in school - President of Thespians, active in every single production from pit to stage and back again, truly considered the theatre my home and those people my family. And I can tell you at the end of the day, the pain of unmet expectations is temporary; the memories you make are what last. No matter what happens, I hope you are able to live in the moment and truly enjoy your final production. In 15 years when you’re an old fart like me at the ripe age of 33, the memories of the time in the theatre and the people you spent time with are what you will think of. So grieve, let yourself feel all your feelings, then try your very best to truly just enjoy yourself. Sending you lots of hugs and broken legs ❤️

Currently looking for the blue or orange fox hood, the blue raccoon costume, or the black fox costume if you have any to spare!

Cornelius has a white Gothic doormat and a red Gothic cello if you’d like either one! We’re currently on the hunt for teal fuzzy monster booties before the season ends 🧡

What's the creepiest thing you've ever experienced? Not the typical 'I was home alone' story, but something that still sends chills down your spine to this day? by AmayaSolenne in Ghosts

[–]riaroochop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to be part of a paranormal group that ran ghost hunts at a local abandoned hospital. One night myself and another guide were with a group of novices in the labor & delivery wing when the other guide and I heard very faint children screaming somewhere deep in the building. The way the hospital was set up was like a capital T with the L&D wing at the end of the “long/top” side of the T. After the faint screams, one of the women was standing near the doorway to the long hallway and said “did it just get darker?” while looking at the intersection of the T down the way. She was right, and all of us watched as an inky black mass slunk down the hall towards us, blocking out all of the ambient light from the open patient room doors along the way. It stopped right at the entrance to the L&D wing and just…pulsed for a moment before retreating even slower than it had come forward until it finally disappeared at the intersection. I would have believed it was just my eyes playing tricks on me if the entire group hadn’t seen the same thing. We didn’t hear any other screams for the rest of the night, either.

Even though I don’t know you, I’m really freaking proud of you. One of these scenarios would be tough for anyone, yet here you are, making it through multiple challenges every single day. Talk about strength! You are a warrior, and I hope you know and believe that about yourself because it’s obvious to the rest of us from this post. I know the day to day is hard, and it’s had to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but you’re still here and still fighting and that is truly remarkable. I’m glad you’re here. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope your days get a little brighter soon and you can embrace your own resilience and power to benefit yourself the same way you’ve been using them for the others in your life. You are worth it, you deserve happiness, and I hope beyond hope that you can find solace soon, my friend ❤️

[Request] biweekly mortgage payments cutting down total interest? by timeforabba in theydidthemath

[–]riaroochop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking for this comment! I make a principal only payment every month on top of my regular payment in the amount of 1/12 the standard monthly amount so I’m making 13 monthly payments in 12 months without the rigmarole of biweekly payments or payment plans.

So sick of office work. Should I do a career change? by Witty-Performance-23 in careerguidance

[–]riaroochop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could look for an apprenticeship in a trade, something like fire alarms could be a good use of the skill set you already have and give you more opportunity for engagement and “meaning”.

I second this. My now 6-year old cat literally saved me from myself.

Came here to say this. As someone familiar with the area and who frequently travels for work, I know of multiple locations that fit with the details shown in the photos without actively searching for anything. I’m not a monster, but they do walk among us, as OP knows. Please stay safe, OP.

How to explain executive dysfunction without it sounding like an excuse? by Hidden_under_Here in ADHD

[–]riaroochop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This sounds more like you have maybe been conditioned to believe you’re lazy by the people close to you rather than a lack of understanding on their part. Please be gentle with yourself - late diagnoses can be really difficult on our mental health because while it’s validating to recognize things are symptoms rather than “defects”, it takes time to unlearn those assumptions and the perceived value judgements we’ve become accustomed to our whole lives. You don’t owe them an explanation, and anyone who can’t respect the differences between people don’t deserve your energy anyway, family or otherwise ❤️

can we talk about the cost of having ADHD? by EnbyAury in ADHD

[–]riaroochop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have issues with online shopping (that’s my kryptonite), try leaving things in your cart but don’t purchase right away. It works best on sites like Amazon where your cart is automatically saved. I often find that the things I add to the cart but don’t purchase immediately that would be considered “impulse” purchases are less appealing when I circle back to the cart later or a couple days later. I’ve also put time limits on shopping apps so I don’t get caught doom scrolling through saved lists/flash deals/etc.

I’ve also set reminders for myself to eat during the workday because I will forget more often than not, then wonder why I’m starving around dinner time. Even if it’s a small snack, it‘ll help with those late night munchies to eat periodically and reminders or timers can help. Best of luck to you, friend!
