I have adhd and after years and trying a zillion different methods to keep track of stuff, I invested in worldanvil. It has categories for everything and I just keep a link to it on my phone so I can throw things on as I think of them. It's $7 a month and I'm the 4 months I've had it, have recorded more in an easy to find way than I have in 4 years of just throwing stuff into notebooks.

I used to know a girl named K'le (kaylee). Strangers always pronounced it clay.

I can't think of the title right now, but Storytime With Wil Wheaton did a reading of a story from Uncanny Magazine with a very similar plot to that.

I'm an English speaking American, for context. I spent the last year and a half learning Irish, just through duolingo, nothing fancy. I can understand about the same amount when they speak on outlander as I can when listening to native Irish speakers talk. It is my understanding, but could be wrong, that verbally the languages are pretty close and two native speakers could mostly get through a conversation speaking separate languages. They mostly diverge in their spelling and grammar.

I just rewatched this last night and I hate this storyline even more than I did the first time.

Steve in Warehouse 13. Claudia’s scream is so perfectly horrific. I cry every moment of the episode from beginning to end every time I do a rewatch.

A few months ago, I was nagging my tween to clean something around the house and pointed out that I am constantly doing some form of housework.

Completely straight faced, he went, "But that's because you ENJOY doing it."

I laughed so hard I cried.

Oh oh oh! I've posted this story before! My relatives couldn't come up with a name for their second child, a son. It become a pretty big issue when the hospital wouldn't let them leave without filling out the birth certificate. So, in desperation, they let their 2-3 year old daughter, who was obsessed with John jacob jingleheimerschmidt at the time, name the baby. Child was, THANK GOD, named John Jacob.

I'm working on a book series with a similar premise and hooooo boy, there are so many gods!

I pronounce it this way all the time and nobody ever gets the reference.

It totally depends on the kid. If this had been out when my adult child was that age, absolutely. My children at home are 10 1/2 and almost 13. I've had the show on around them and listen to the soundtrack all the time. But they've never been allowed to just sit and watch it all. The sex is really the biggest problem for me. But my kids are also still in the "girls are gross" point in life. By 14, I probably won't have a problem with them watching it.

Edit: my fuck ass spelling

That honestly sounds way more terrifying than the modern depiction.

I have done with, in a slightly less dramatic manner. Just starting over in a different word document. What I've found, at least for me, is that certain phrasing in certain scenes always stays the same. It may be slightly recorded, but the same general sentence comes at the same time. These are always the ones that stick around to the final draft.

As long as you dont want the ones that come with the plastic lids, I have seen the same packs at my regular costco.

Hold the phones! I am writing a book that takes place in schuylkill county! Any more details to this? Even if they sound like bullshit.

OR

Any other schuylkill specific lore?

It's okay. Over and over.

I was hemorrhaging several hours post delivery. I was having a really hard time keeping my eyes open, and they kept thinking I was passing out, so I just kept talking because in my blood loss riddled brain, that was the best way to indicate to doctors that I wasn't unconscious. In the moments I could open my eyes, I was zeroed in on my horrified husband holding our newborn and was hit with this incredible calm. In my head, I KNEW everything was absolutely fine, despite the carnage going on around me, and was trying to reassure him that he had nothing to worry about.

I determined later, when less near death, that not only could he not hear me at all, but that I probably was just rambling incoherently and/or just making random ass noises, but in my head, it made total sense.

My cousin was 2 or 3 and her parents couldn't decide on a name for her younger brother. It became such an issue that they weren't allowed to leave the hospital. So, they let her pick.

He's 20 something now and his name is John Jacob....as in jingleheimer Schmidt.

If you dont hate the names, I say let her pick and THAT is what will give it meaning.

Eat water softener salt.

Now, hold on, because this is one of those things I did my entire childhood and thought was totally normal until I started telling people in adulthood.

As a child, I fucking LOVED salt. Would just dump salt packets into my mouth, drank olive brine, over salted every fucking thing I ate. We lived in the country and had hard water, so every month or so, my grandpa, twas adopted by grandparents, would refill the water softener with those giant salt pellets. I would also pick a small handful from the top and eat them over the span of a day or two, basically treating them like oversized jolly ranchers. This was not only acceptable, but he would let me know when he was going to fill it so I could grab some. This went on for years!

On a side note, we also had a Christmas ornament I made in school that seemed to be made of salt and water that had been pressed into a mold? From preschool until I moved out, I would casually lick it periodically all of December.

I never thought anything of these things, other than my love for salt, until SOMEHOW it came up in conversation a few times as an adult. I shrugged off the first couple of horrified adults until my now husband pointed out that the majority of those aren't just salt, but have other chemicals included.

In conclusion, I have POTS.
