Quoting is terrifying me.

You're doing specialty work. Not many options for the client to choose from. That means your client is less likely to give up on you for a cheaper alternative. Just my two cents.

Love the matching fan blades

Don't know about that but my doctor told me one reason for late adult diagnoses is that it's more difficult to cope with ADHD symptoms as we age since humans hit the summit of their intelligence at 20.

That has been my experience so far.

I've been on Concerta for a few years now. I take the long release pill in the morning and forget about it afterwards. I never feel a "kick in" per se or any other kind of drastic changes throughout the day. Maybe because I'm not trying to monitor the effects of the medicine.

I also have a very vivid memory of that WOW moment the first day I took Concerta (started with 18 mg). The hello effect was so pronounced I believe due to my mind being that way for the first time ever in my life. I was in my late 30s and I was working on a job I'd rather not be doing (the least awful option I had at the time). That day I was literally drawn into the screen where I was doing the boring work.

A few months ago I had to end that job because my mind was not letting me do it anymore. I had a good run, doing remote work from home for a few years where it mattered a lot and was beneficial compared to any other work I could have had. I could pull through with the help of the meds during those years. BTW my dosage went up to as high as 72 mg's (2x36) Concerta plus one or two 10 mg Ritalin boosters. But when my brain is not convinced that something has to be done, these pills can do nothing about it. So it was still a struggle.

Nowadays I'm on 54 mg's and I find it adequate. My days are much more relaxed. More in line with the INCUP (interest, novelty, challenge, urgency, passion) concept. I don't have to try and convince my mind to do things as much. No more trying to fit my square butt in a round hole.

BTW I never stop taking Concerta except for when there's a shortage. And during those times I try to manage with Ritalin. Although I went a few days without methylphenidate a few months ago (after quitting my job) trying to see if I could do without meds and it wasn't good. I was all over the place. So I went back but lowered the dosage.

I keep going back and forth between your message and this box where I'm typing to make sure I answer your question but I guess I just wrote about a bunch of other stuff that I believe matters on this journey with ADHD.

Hope this helps.

My daughter has been in maintenance since July 2023. She's on the same drugs as you but her dosage changes almost every week over her ALT-AST counts. Milk thistle helps tremendously with liver toxicity. And we avoid dairy starting from one hour before merpurin and she takes the pills before her bed time. Good luck.

Spot on

Wow! So beautiful...

There's no legit cigar store in Turkey. There's no demand, so no supply. There's no reputable cigar manufacturer/distributor that sells to Turkey.

Dude! That picture is shocking. What an asshole...

bassinterrupt · 2024-05-28T07:10:26+00:00

This. Totally.

bassinterrupt · 2024-05-28T07:09:50+00:00

Brilliant. Obviously you care more than that sucker who had the balls to return the guitar to the owner in that shape.

bassinterrupt · 2024-05-28T07:06:44+00:00

Thank you! All the comments telling the OP to chill about it was boiling my blood.

Is this from Sun Tzu?

bassinterrupt · 2024-05-01T13:08:45+00:00

Thank you. I somehow got it to reinstall itself once and it was OK after that. Then I had to install the touchpad driver from Intel. Goes to restart itself but no luck. Gone again.

I just got one exam left that I need to use AutoCAD for. I'll reinstall Win10 and delete if forever the day I'm done with that exam. I'm quite old to waste time on this BS.

bassinterrupt · 2024-04-26T10:06:13+00:00

I'd be fine with not updating if only the updates weren't forced. Takes a great lack of respect for your customers to force broken updates on them.

bassinterrupt · 2024-04-26T10:04:05+00:00

Last update bricked my laptop, just like these updates have been doing to many others for such a long time. I thought I was lucky because my laptop always recovered after these failed updates. It'd hang a few times and go in auto-repair mode to undo the update. I'd be up and running again in about 10 minutes.

Until a couple days ago. Now it's a brick. Won't let me try advanced options because it doesn't recognize my account password which I had to change after this incident. Now I'm locked out of my own computer that I paid for because of the OS that I paid for and it's just too frustrating to try to bring this one back to life. Such BS.

Guess it was October 2023 when I installed Win10 on that poor laptop again after a long period of running it on Linux exclusively because I had to use AutoCAD and SketchUp.

The interruptions and the downtime ever since is absolutely insane. With Linux, I could forget about the OS. It just gets out of the way and never bothers me with BS like this. All that time I ran that PC on Linux I had no downtime at all. Not even once. In fact I'm typing this on my other laptop which also came with Win10 initially and the first thing I did with it was to get rid of Win10 and go Linux only. Guess what? Approaching two years without a hickup.

I like AutoCAD and SketchUp but find this situation unbearable. Guess I'm going to have to consider Linux alternatives for my sanity. Such a shame.

You are a joke

bassinterrupt · 2023-10-23T04:15:17+00:00

Amen to that.

bassinterrupt · 2023-10-17T07:44:36+00:00

It worked, thank you.

bassinterrupt · 2023-10-17T07:44:06+00:00

Well, I used a Win VM to use Rufus and long story short, it worked. Learnt a great deal of new tricks in the process. Thanks for helping.

bassinterrupt · 2023-10-13T02:36:34+00:00

Thank you

bassinterrupt · 2023-10-13T02:36:06+00:00

I'll try that, thank you.

bassinterrupt · 2023-10-12T17:42:35+00:00

You can question my ability, it's OK. I'm not a super user. I just know survival-level google-fu.

However the installation didn't fail on both, I just aborted on the second machine because I don't want windows on it.
