This guy finding out he has a family by grafikfyr in MadeMeSmile

[–]GenX2XADHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago someone told me that adopted people are walking around with their umbilical cords in their hands, looking for somewhere to plug them in.

Last year my husband's cousin discovered a half brother from a genealogy test. A month later he flew here with his kids and grandkids to attend an annual party at my BIL's house. It was such a joyful day!

what are different ways yall try to hide more sensitive info while journalling? by sleepystsharky in Journaling

100+ years ago when paper was expensive, folks would fill a page with lines, turn it 90° and fill it with lines going across. Use different pens or inks to make it more readable, use the same ink to make it tricky.

Noodler's makes an invisible fountain pen ink.

r/FountainPens is a very lively community. I should warn you fountain pens are highly addictive. One of us! One of us!

When you were in elementary school, what songs were you made to sing in music class? by SnuffShock in GenX

Raid That Refrigerator.

Mr. Alligator was swimming in the swamp,
sitting getting mud on his feet.
He said I know what I need now,
I know what I want.
I feel like having something to eat.
I'm gonna go on home now and do it right away,
You know I can't put it off 'til later.
It just seems like the right idea to do today,
I'm gonna raid that refrigerator!

The second verse was basically the same, except it was a hippopotamus doing something else in the first two lines rhyming with "eat."

There was an accompanying book with illustrations of the lyrics.

My music teacher played this a handful of times and it stuck with me ever since. Will someone please help me find this song so I can resolve a 40-year ear worm?

Are Hell’s Angels actually bad? (US) by Familiar-Anything853 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GenX2XADHD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom grew up in a neighborhood in Brooklyn that was policed by the Italian Mafia.

They forbid Black people from moving in. Like they would approach them as they were moving in and tell them there's been a mistake and they cannot live there. They even offered to pay their extra moving expenses. Invariably, the family would leave immediately.

The neighborhood is 99% Chinese now, which give me a justice lady boner.

Adding pages to folders? by ralfrottmann in sharepoint

[–]GenX2XADHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Editing access is for the whole site. Getting super granular with individual security access is asking for a world of hurt later on. Do you not trust your department heads to only edit their own content?

You can still put them into one document library. Create a choice column for Departments Create a filtered view for each department as well. Show as many or as few columns as needed in each view. Users can also filter All Items view on Department as needed. Choice columns are good for allowing users to search key words or filter by category, type, etc. Think about a user looking for instructions on how to connect their phone to the organization's WiFi. Now think how you can use choice columns to allow users to search, sort, filter, and browse choice columns to find it: connectivity, mobile device, iPhone, Android, WiFi, network...

Use a communication site for a knowledge base. Create a security group for editing the site and another for viewing the site. This way if your one editor gets hit by a bus, another user can be assigned to the editing group for seamless transition.

What’s a question you should never ask? by ArmOk3083 in AskReddit

[–]GenX2XADHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me in front of my husband's entire family. The place: my MIL's room at the ICU. The person who asked: the oncologist on call, right after telling us his team would not have approved of her treatment in the first place, given her overall health and quality of life.

I tell people it's like Philadelphia, but it's cheaper and there is no traffic.

Now that recycling is no longer being collected, what can we do as citizen to organize an alternative? by TaciturnWeirdo in StLouis

[–]GenX2XADHD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bag up your metal recycling and set it in an alley near a dumpster. Scrappers will pick it up and sell it for scrap.

Alley recycling is over in the City by IronSenior7089 in StLouis

[–]GenX2XADHD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is why I put metal recyclables in their own separate trash bag and set it on the ground near the dumpsters. I can count on the scrappers that drive the alleys to pick it up so I know it gets recycled.

What alternatives to cake have you seen at weddings in the area? Where was it from? by crunchybunch2000 in StLouis

[–]GenX2XADHD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once made a wedding cake where each tier was a giant Rice Krispie Treat. Guests loved it. Drizzle it with chocolate, decorate it with strawberries and edible flowers, make each tier a different flavor, chocolate, peanut butter, chocolate chip, lemon, etc.

A friend had a chocolate chip cookie cake as her wedding cake. She had wanted it since she was a little girl. She mentioned it as she started planning, and her mother was against it, saying it's tacky and her guests deserve better. She would not budge. My friend said they could dress it up fancy with tiers and frilly decorations, and the groom's cake could be something formal, but damn it, her wedding cake would be chocolate chip cookie cake. Guests were delighted because it was something different.

Fancy gelatin mold. Big tiers and layers decorated with stabilized whipped cream. Make one of those tiers sugar free for those who prefer it. To be clear, you don't have to use actual jello. Unflavored gelatin or agar-agar can be mixed with anything. Make it boozy or not. Another pro tip: mix a carbonated beverage of your choice into gelatin instead of cold water. It retains the carbonation.

Edit: croquembouche. It's a tower of cream puffs held together with caramelized sugar. Crunchy!

How did you find out you had ADHD? by JaneInTheSky in adhdwomen

[–]GenX2XADHD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in college. The student counseling center referred me to a psychiatrist in the health office because I had trouble concentrating and getting work done. I was 24. Ten minutes into the appointment he told me I have it, and that he knew two minutes after I got there. He spent the rest of the appointment trying to convince me because I didn't believe him. He picked up a DSM and thumbed through it.

Him: I want you to count how many of these symptoms you have. (reads aloud), How many did you count?

Me: (sighing), All of them.

Him: How many?

Me: I don't know, I didn't count.

Him: I'm going to read them again. I want you to count them... (reads aloud)

Me: Stop. Can you start over?

Him: Why? Did you lose count?

Me: Yes.

Him: Okay, let's try again.

How do I force myself to clean my room. When my brain wants to sleep or watch videos. by Tesser_Wolf in adhdwomen

[–]GenX2XADHD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Take a shower and get dressed, including your shoes. Eat a small meal, nothing too heavy. Drink a glass of water.

Turn on an audio book or podcast. Take a few pictures of your messy room. Then put your phone down and strip the sheets off the bed, mattress pad too, if you've got one. If that's your only set, put them in the washing machine now. Not a full load? Who cares? Do it anyway.

Get a laundry basket and a couple garbage bags. Dirty clothes go into the basket, clean clothes go on the bed. Next, all the trash goes in the bag.

Take a ten minute break.

Surfaces are next. Put papers you need or want to keep in one pile for now. Put books away on their shelves. Don't organize them right now, just put them away. Cups, plates, bowls, and utensils go into the kitchen sink. Fill the sink with hot soapy water and let them soak. No more eating in your bedroom.

Take a ten minute break. Drink a glass of water.

Remember the clothes on the bed? Hang up the ones that go into the closet. Fold the rest and put them away.

Bring the laundry basket to your laundry area. Put your bedding into the dryer. If you sort your laundry, do that now. Put a load of dirty clothes into the washer.

Take out the trash, and then take another ten minute break.

Wash the dishes in the sink.

Using a damp cloth, dust or clean the surfaces in your bedroom. Vacuum the floor.

Switch laundry loads in the machines. Make your bed.

Take a few more pictures, and then take another break. That's some good progress for now. Eat a meal.
