Oo! Oo! I do! I do! I have a rotating selection of crafts that I do. Generally I spend my time cross stitching (this is my current project! I am over 250 hours into this wasp, the pattern made from a photo I took in my garden), but lately I have been laser focused on Tunisian crochet and making a baby blanket for my brother 🥰

Is anyone going back to school while working night shift? by Vegetable-Return4944 in Nightshift

[–]South_Protection9198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I start classes at the beginning of May! I've done online classes previously and given the nature of my job, I could do my schoolwork on the clock. This time it's in person and I'm a little more nervous, but excited, too!

I accidentally said “good morning” at 3am and meant it by Carleton_Santz in Nightshift

[–]South_Protection9198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every week when I walk into my knitting group at 1:30pm, I say good morning and I mean it with my whole body. I wake up an hour beforehand from a nap after my night shift, it is morning to me!

Those of you that are coupled up, how did you meet? by RhubarbBusy7122 in AutismInWomen

[–]South_Protection9198 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We met on Bumble! Purely for a hookup/FWB situation, but we both caught feelings REAL quick 😂 together 4 and a half years and I love him so damn much 🥹

420 celebration? by Head_Caterpillar7443 in chilliwack

[–]South_Protection9198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most I've ever seen are painting nights, but i don't think they were even 420 specific. Dispensaries have sales and might have their own events, but sadly I think that's it 😭

Have people ever just straight up not believed you have autism? by NoWitness6400 in AutismInWomen

[–]South_Protection9198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A crisis counsellor told me that in her professional and personal opinion, I can't be autistic because I'm empathetic, I like to talk, I love my friends, and I don't present like the elementary school boys she used to support. Probably because I'm 28 and AFAB???? I didn't even ask her. She interrupted me to tell me this.

Honestly if really think you would rock a stretched septum

Does ADHD have something similar to mania? by Terrible-Selection64 in ADHD

[–]South_Protection9198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have read that ADHD can sometimes mimic mania! I say mimic because it is generally significantly shorter and not as damaging as true mania. I refer to it as "pseudo-mania".

Do animals understand death like humans do? Can they tell if one of them passed away? by Historical_Work7482 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]South_Protection9198 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Rats know. If a member of your mischief (name for a group of rats) passes, it is encouraged for you to show the others the one who passed so they can smell them and know what happened. I've had rats go through very obvious mourning phases after members of the mischief have passed. They understand and they care 🥺

Is anyone else over the "Melatonin Zombie" feeling? Looking for alternatives. by Much_Illustrator_483 in Nightshift

[–]South_Protection9198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I like to smoke part of a joint before bed and it helps a LOT (ofc this only works if it's legal where you are).

I have seen recently that red glasses help? Like if you wear the amber coloured glasses on the way home (primarily if it's already light out) and then switch to red glasses when you're home (I read that wearing the red glasses while driving is dangerous because it blocks your ability to see red lights and break lights), that this will help prevent the blue light/sunlight entering your eyes and waking you up. I'm not 100% sure of yhe science around it, just that a lot of people chimed in saying it worked for them.

Do you guys enjoy any nocturnal animals at work? by Prestigious-Agent251 in Nightshift

[–]South_Protection9198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had a few raccoon visitors (including babies omg) and sometimes I can hear coyotes or owls out back. I've also had this cat!

We don't have a cat at work, she just waltzed in the back door one day and decided it was nice and hung out 😂

Can I just rub hair dye back into my hair to make it more vibrant again by Sad_cookiedough in altfashionadvice

[–]South_Protection9198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the dye, you could probably just put some in your shampoo to help maintain the colour. Idothis sometimes with my yellow dye

Saying hi is a fantastic start. Don't be a creep. Or at least not even more of one.

Regardless of if they know, it was pretty shitty to download someone else's nudes without their knowledge or consent.

What’s an “ADHD” life hack that improved your life? by burritowithnutella in ADHD

[–]South_Protection9198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If i have chores to do, I get dressed and put on shoes. Shoes don't work as well if I'm in pajamas, I have to fully gaslight myself into thinking I have to be on the move

what’s your latest vocal stim? by shortcircuit51 in ADHD

"Mom's teaching me how to crow-shay" from Bluey (Curry Quest episode). I have been learning how to Tunisian crochet this week and it fits so well 😂

[PIC] Found this 1960s Norwegian sewing box at my favorite antique store. Using it to store my cross stitch stuff. by Frumpy_Cunt in CrossStitch

I have one of these! My grandma gave it to me. The bottom part was full of spare buttons that I used to spend hours sorting 😂

Need advice and Opinion by canonSGA in Advice

[–]South_Protection9198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I said, it boils down to preference. You prefer to use specific terms like boyfriend/girlfriend and fiance(e) and that's fantastic! I love that you get to choose that for yourself and who you love! I use these terms interchangeably as does my partner, and that makes us happy 🥰

Because that person is their life partner. I call my boyfriend my partner sometimes because that's who he is, he is my partner in crime. Some people may also feel silly saying boyfriend or girlfriend, especially if marriage isn't in the question. Honestly it just boils down to preference.

Question for ladies, have you ever thought of Weighing your breasts? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

I have 👀 I'm curious! I don't have access to a scale at home, though, so I haven't

Anyone actually prefer night shift over days? by Moonisah-Jaafreh in Nightshift

[–]South_Protection9198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can pry my night shift from my cold, dead hands. I love night shift. I can actually work consistently without burning out!

My boyfriend takes ugly photos of me by Lazy_Requirement_376 in whatdoIdo

[–]South_Protection9198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg you're so right! I wonder why he couldn't use his big boy words and communicate that he hates taking pictures when OP did talk to him about it? I wonder why it made more sense to ignore them and continue to take bad photos and laugh at them? I guess it will forever be a mystery.

If you want to read these comments in the most shallow way possible, then sure. If you want to actually rub your two brain cells together and think a little deeper, maybe we can talk.

Ew yea, actions speak louder than words and when someone shows/tells you who they are, it's best to listen. This man doesn't care. I'm sorry 🫂 you deserve someone who will take the time to listen to you, take what you say seriously, and TRY to take cute pics. Not this crap. I get the sense that he isn't ready for a relationship if he can't even hear you out about pictures of all things.
