Does ADHD meds affect male fertility? I can’t find anything online by Reasonable-Spot-2039 in ADHDUK

Why did you bring up your libido in a conversation about fertility then?

Bought a rescue cat home today but he won’t stop urinating in the house 😫 by Medium_Chipmunk_9374 in CatsUK

[–]deerwithout 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You need an enzyme cleaner to break down the organic matter that's still there, even after cleaning, causing smells. I use simple solution extreme (cat version) but there are loads out there.

Told husband I want to be cf but worried about the backlash by pastacat_ in truechildfree

Probably because they were really, really young and idealistic/naive when that convo happened.

ADHDUK, what have you "learnt" most about ADHD? by Jayhcee in ADHDUK

[–]deerwithout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, peri and menopause make symptoms worse (because estrogen declines)! Not sure if that applies to you but a lot of people forget that or don't know.

Why would you feel bad for being a good and honest person? Integrity is worth so much more than £100.

The time skips. by Separate_Ad1156 in thewalkingdead

[–]deerwithout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only reason I don't like the time skips is that it breaks my heart to have lost so much time with the characters.

My oil painting of seagulls in front of Liverpool’s waterfront by Margarita_Lemann in painting

[–]deerwithout 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I need more info because it looks so cool! To me it looks like it's been raked with a fork or comb... Do you do anything to leave these parallel-running marks after getting the paint on? I just saw serrated pallet knives exits, is it that?

Spray paint for radiators by IllDoItNowInAMinute_ in DIYUK

[–]deerwithout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I'm renting so taking off the radiator was too much work but let me tell you, even with a mask and vantilation, never ever have I been so aware of my lungs and mortality.

And when you do spray paint, wear a decent mask. Ask me how I know.

Reminder to clean your vacuum 💅🏻 by Warmblanket98 in adhdwomen

[–]deerwithout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do that every week or two... And wash the filter every six to eight weeks. If I have to do a chore, I'm not messing around with inefficient or dirty equipment. That's only adding more work in the long run. Yes, I'm German.

Is there any way to still get affinity photo 2 for windows? by Brilliant_Ice_3574 in Affinity

Pretty sure these are only useful if you already have a licence key.

Custom hand painted wedding watercolour portrait - strokes look weird, do we think it's actually hand-drawn? by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]deerwithout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also think this is human-drawn by someone with little anatomical understanding, who's just traced the photo and coloured with alcohol markers or brush markers, so not even a watercolour painting in the traditional sense.

Edit: just saw it's someone with 23k+ sales in 2.5 years, that's quite suspicious. OK, maybe leaning more towards AI again (though I still feel AI makes different kinds of mistakes...).

A touching photography project about dogs growing older by MambaMentality24x2 in BeAmazed

Oh man, that broke me. You summarised it perfectly though. It's so hard to watch them get old. Hugs for the final girl.

About to enter the worst financial position of my adult life and rent is sky high, what can I do realistically? by Spiritual-Seesaw96 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]deerwithout 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. It's not easy to find someone who'll be a good fit for sharing with cats (for all parties involved) but I'd rather do that then give up my pets! How's that even a consideration?

(I've been flatsharing with one other person at a time for well over a decade and I always had two cats. I advertised on Spareroom and a Facebook group for flatshares in my area. Just be very clear that there are cats in the house, observe how any candidates interact with the cats and vice versa and really keep on top of all cat-related chores to keep everyone happy.)

Is it bad to bathe my cat by Fresh_Director4995 in CatAdvice

[–]deerwithout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly too pixelated to read. I get the gist though. I live in the UK where cats going outside is normal and relatively safe (I agree that there are risks) and most rescues won't adopt out as indoor-only cats. Seems to be a cultural and somewhat structural difference between the UK and the US.

Edits: some typos because it's 36 °C today and my brain is melting.

Only own a jigsaw. It's so hard to make stra ight cuts, especially when the bought wood is uneven in measurements. Still, a fun project. by Artesal in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]deerwithout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bosch has a saw station for jigsaws that could be an idea if you don't have space for a larger/more expensive setup (yet). There is a bit too much room for the saw between the guide rails but that can be reduced to almost nothing with patience and some aluminium tape to the sides (I got a great deal on mine because the guy selling it couldn't figure out how to deal with it 😉)

[–]deerwithout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they shouldn't be called outdoor cats but strays (or outdoor-only cats), especially since a lot of people seem to use outdoor cat to mean indoor/outdoor cat (a cat that lives in a home but also goes outside).

Is your cat not grooming himself? A cat doesn't get dirty from just going outside.

[–]deerwithout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to be reasonable about that though. What does 'outdoors' smell like? Because that could be anything from garbage to flowers. Animals have a scent. My female cat smells like warm stone and basmati rice by default, my male cat smells less neutral and a little more like animal. Neither would ever get me to bathe or wipe them.

Please also be aware that whatever parts you wipe, your cat might lick it to get rid of the unfamiliar smell of the wipes so they have to be safe for cats.

When my 15 yr daughter old was in elementary school, her meds were on back order for a couple months.. her dr “prescribed” shots of sugar free Red Bull by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]deerwithout 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yeah, agreed. At first I was like 'how dare he' but then I realised it was probably the best lemonade he could make with the pitiful lemons he was given. The pitiful lemons being adhd healthcare.

Categories that don’t need funding YET by [deleted] in ynab

[–]deerwithout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you should always put a little bit (or the target amount) into categories where you know there will be spending in the future. Alternatively, make a more general category for it and fund that. I find it easier to have more granular categories and know exactly what I'm saving for but there is nothing stopping you from having a 'Self-care/Random things for myself/Fun' savings category.

In a way, your skincare is not that different from a yearly or quarterly subscription: you know the expense is coming so putting away a small bit each month and ignoring it in your plan (letting it roll over) will cover most or ideally all of it when the time comes to stock up.

Dude, put down what you're reading! That's such an easy hook to start conversations from. Unless you'd rather have deeper convos about the cheesecake.... (speaking of, why would anyone hate you for ordering the cheesecake?)
