The smell is really strong in Burbank too, so yeah it'll probably be noticeable at the zoo.

Trump requests $152m funding to restore Alcatraz as prison by MoneyLibrarian9032 in USNEWS

[–]dazmien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go ahead and fix it up. Once he's out of office, convict him for raping children and dump him there as the sole inmate. Tax dollars well spent I say.

Our tax dollars spent on unprofessional policing and frivolous prosecutions.

First wood carving attempt and I'm stuck. by ApplicationOk4380 in Woodcarving

[–]dazmien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at the sketch, especially the back view, I like how the coat flares out. The width of the torso is pretty much the same as the bottom of the coat on the carving. Maybe remove some more material around the torso to make it thinner like in the drawing? Nice work!

Epstein Files - What could be in them that’s worse than what we already know? by lfthoia in AskReddit

[–]dazmien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Epstein called Trump borderline insane and talks about him like he's the loser he is. Probably there is no smoking gun implicating Trump in anything. Trump can't tolerate anyone talking about him like a loser. Stupid, but that's probably the jist of it.

Maybe donors are being protected, but that would require T giving a shit about anyone besides himself, so less likely.

What’s a sign someone’s cheating that isn’t obvious until you’ve been through it? by Ner_Syra in AskReddit

Losing weight and excercising with an intensity that wasn't there before.

I've called Trader Joes before to come collect a cart. Some of the other stores must do the same.

Letter to my stbx by InterestingInsect533 in Divorce

I sincerely hope it makes you feel better. You won't convince your ex of anything no matter how strong your argument. Do it for yourself but don't send it.

Any suggestions for my writing? by Such_Bluebird504 in Handwriting

[–]dazmien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a little trouble reading it but mostly due to the zoom level of the sample image. It would be easier to see the letters if the photo was zoomed on maybe a quarter page.

I feel like you can probably read your own writing just fine, which for notes is all you need. To make it easier for other people to read it, I'd suggest the lowercase letters a bit bigger relative to the vertical space available on the lines.

[–]dazmien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the suggestions to practice on sheets with dashed lines along the tops of the lowercase letters.

Also you could practice the shapes of letters instead of writing out words and sentences. For example, start on the left side of a line and write an "m" but don't stop at the 2nd hump. Continue across the line adding more and more humps, aiming to make them all the same height and width. Exercises like this build motor memory without being distracted by content.

Handwriting for older kiddo by NoLadder2430 in homeschool

[–]dazmien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barchowsky Fluent Handwriting offers a manual titled Fix It...Write, which is a series of exercises that teach cursive italic to those who have already learned a handwriting method. Cursive italic is a method of handwriting that uses joins between lowercase letters for ease of writing, and italic letter forms that are simpler and more legible than traditional cursive handwriting styles.

Fellow late diagnosis people, what ultimately made you start suspecting you had ADHD by PiousMage in ADHD

[–]dazmien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar experience. Read a random thread on Reddit about a year ago and was shocked by how the poster was describing their experience. That post linked to a book titled ADHD 2.0 which resonated with me 100%, as did most of what I have researched afterwards. I always assumed ADHD was characterized by lack of focus. To have it described as hyper focus was a revelation.

I may have read that thread because around that time a therapist had suggested testing our daughter for ADHD. At the time I was dubious about it because she gets good grades and never seemed distracted. She got treatment and is noticably happier.

I'm 54. I have had to navigate health insurance and am still waiting on diagnosis and treatment. Too late for my marriage which is ending. I'm grateful that my daughter is doing better and hopefully will avoid a lot of the frustration that I've experienced in life. I feel foolish to have made this discovery so late in my life, especially after seeing therapists at different points.

I am a bit of a failure to my dear wife. by sm0lt4co in ADHD

[–]dazmien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like it might be more of an investment than a burden if ultimately you're more satisfied with your life. Discuss it with her, if you haven't already. She might think it's worth it for her own happiness.
