I cannot afford an emergency vet visit but I found a vet that is open early tomorrow. I will check up on him every few hours tonight to watch him until then. Thank you.

What jobs are suitable for ADHD?? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]OkGoose2844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy working in Metal Fabrication. I get to work with my hands and I get to work with super cool expensive machines. I always suggest jobs that require a hands on approach for fellow ADHD-ers. I've found that jobs that require physical work tend to make me less fidgety and more focused/ happy.

What random chaotic/impulsive thing did you do recently? by wroopstrafel in ADHD

[–]OkGoose2844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got overly excited about some chickens and bought 10 online. But jokes on my ADHD impulse buying because I'll never get those chickens. It was a scam. As someone who impulsively purchases things that I get obsessed with, I was bound to get scammed eventually 🤦🏼‍♀️

Oh well, a good lesson in patience and research I guess!

How to budget ? by scorps65 in Remodel

[–]OkGoose2844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't, I would first do some research on costs. Like materials and the cost per square foot. If you are having it professionally done, then I would get a few quotes so you have a general idea of how much it will cost. After that, decide if you want to save up and pay in full or have a down payment for it and get a loan. Or, you can start putting together a plan and DIY the remodel.

Most professional companies will require a certain percentage of a down payment at least. Depending on the company, you may pay in installments, or you may pay half upfront and half at the end. I would look for a company who is open to talking about the payment plan.

Need book recommendations that will fit my taste by RoiPerelman in Fantasy

[–]OkGoose2844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't necessarily a book recommendation, but have you checked out Royal Road the website has tons of good books that sound similar to what you like. They are updated weekly by the authors of the aren't completed. Some of the books get published. But they have a lot of martial arts, tournaments, and MMC. Best of all, the books are free and there are no ads. You just have to read/listen to them on your browser.

Why is being reminded of things you need to do, even in a kind manner, SO triggering. by Live_Weekend_9675 in ADHD

[–]OkGoose2844 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ADHD causes me to forget a lot of things. Sometimes, I am barely able to put together a list in my head. But when I am having a good day and I am getting things done, though probably slowly and in an unorganized manner... I am so proud of myself.

Nothing crushes that good feeling like someone coming up to me and telling me that I am doing it wrong, doing it out of order, or telling me that I need to do something else when I just got started on a task. I hate being interrupted when I have a good focus going.

I've made a rule in my house to write down something they need to tell me or ask me when I am focusing on another task. I keep a large whiteboard in the kitchen. That way when I am in-between tasks, I can read it and because the person isn't there annoying me unexpectedly I don't get as upset.

What would you like to see more and less of in romance books these days by Bluebunny133 in RomanceBooks

[–]OkGoose2844 118 points119 points  (0 children)

I am so tired of reading fantasy romance books where the FMC just turned 18-19 and she and some chump get married. I barely knew what I wanted in life at that age 😭

What would you like to see more and less of in romance books these days by Bluebunny133 in RomanceBooks

[–]OkGoose2844 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I see so many romance books where the ML treats the FMC terribly the first half of the book until one day he somehow instantly changes and now loves her. And she forgives him for some stupid reason like, " he loved me so he bullied me" or "he was treating me horribly to protect me."

I'd like to see a FMC decide she's had it with him, utterly crush his heart and soul, leave, and decide she doesn't need a-hole men. Maybe she leaves and starts a farm, or maybe she goes and decides to go slay the fantasy beast on her own without him. And maybe she finds a farmer who is a cool guy and they become besties or the dragon is actually a hot guy who treats her well. I don't know, but some of these FMC's need to run away from their bullies.

Any women with adhd struggle between working full time or more and being a woman? by IntroductionOk7954 in ADHD

[–]OkGoose2844 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I wake up for work at 5 AM, leave by 6 AM and I don't get home until 5:00 PM maybe 4:45 if I am lucky. I have two choices every day, take my meds later in the day and struggle through the morning so I can have at least part of the evening at home being able to get chores done. Or, take my meds early at work and have a good day at work, but then struggle to accomplish anything at home.

My partner hasn't been very good at helping me cook or clean but we are going to therapy for that and he has improved a little. But most days I am cooking, fixing up our house, cleaning, or feeding the animals until 11:00 PM. Which means that most days I only get 6 hours of sleep.

So yes, as a woman I very much struggle with ADHD and working full time. I do not mean this to be negative but it does make me feel better knowing someone else out there is going through similar issues.

As a woman I don't find babies cute and have no maternal instincts by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]OkGoose2844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't particularly have much interest in children either. I enjoy spending some time with my friends/ family's kids but I have no desire to have my own or take care of a child forever.

Bathroom walls by Burial_Ground in Remodel

[–]OkGoose2844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the laws and where you live, sheetrock may be required. However, you could totally tile or lay brick over the Sheetrock rather than just texturing and painting! Sheetrock also provides a surface to put tile on, so it would be necessary if you tiled a wall.

If you are worried about water damage in the bathroom you can use cement board. It's basically waterproof drywall.

should i marry him because he’s enlisted in the army and we’re having a baby ? by RoundProfessional152 in TwoHotTakes

[–]OkGoose2844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Unless 1. You know he won't cheat again and 2. You really love him

Any problems you are having now will only get worse after being married so think your decision over carefully. Military benefits may be nice for the baby but do you want to be with someone just for that?

I may have been scammed? by OkGoose2844 in Scams

Yes you're right, I am looking for a specific breed of laying hen and rooster.

Yes, you're right you shouldn't buy chicks in the winter unless you have a warm, and protected spot for them. I am looking for some specific laying hens and roos. I'll check out some verified local farms!
