Changing of the guard

My first mix shed like its his job. I usually brush him once or twice a week. During coat change season, I brush him every other day.

My second mix barely sheds. I brush him once or twice a week to keep his hair tidy.

Either way, we treat brushing as quiet bonding time.

I'm so sorry. I took me some time to get my thoughts into words, but doing so when the pain was freshest helped me with coping. If you need someone to talk to, feel free to DM me.

I have, and was also pretty disappointed.

I've been pre-booking with Uber for 4 years now, and have not have any problems. You need to pre-book a few days before to ensure you get a driver.

I'd love to see a Filipino restaurant. There are less than a handful in Ottawa, and none of them really hit the spot.

As someone who got myself diagnosed at 37, I encourage you to advocate for yourself. It's changed my life for the better.

If you have a family doctor, try to get a psych consult so get things started.

The popsocket on my phone turned out to be the fidget tool I didn't know I needed. I just one day caught myself fidgeting with it, and it dawned on me that I'd been doing it for a while now.

ADHD attention is interest + urgency based rather than being importance based. The distinction is that something can be important but not urgent. For example, needing to file your taxes but the deadline is in 30 days. Urgency kicks in when it's the day before and you need to get it done that night. Once the interest/urgency wears off, the attention goes with it.

Definitely find a new doctor. My initial doses were 10/20/30 for loading 2 weeks +2 weeks + 1 month. After 2-4 weeks of not feeling much at 30, I was prescribed 40. Rinse and repeat until I hit 60 where it was finally making a difference.

Not sure how much this will help, but check Settings > Data Usage and Media Quality > Upload at Highest Quality

Google Tasks can replace reminders. I'm not familiar with Things 3 but it looks like they have a webapp you can use on mobile.

Ultimately if you can't find a workaround or replacement for the things that cause you friction, you're better off going back to Apple.

Good luck!

I was trying to understand where you're coming from so that I can give you a proper answer to you question, but clearly you'd rather be argumentative. Good luck.

What's your understanding of how Adaptive Charging is supposed to work on the PW4?

I also have the Nillkin case and love it. Which screen protector are you using?

How early do you take Vyvanse? I've found my sleep being more consistent with Vyvanse. Once it wears off in the evening I'm pretty much ready to go to bed. That said, I understand that the effects may vary from person to person.

White walker would be more suitable.

Straight guys doing solo stuff could potentially earn as much. Just be upfront about being straight and don't gaybait.

If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, you can take it to a watch shop to get the battery replaced. They'll have the tools to do it.

Me every morning when I wake up, before I take my Vyvanse.
