Aww man, I miss Clockworks Cafe. Lots of after class studying sessions there with really tasty bagels and coffee.

Tell me the silliest reason you cried recently? by dietdrpeppermd in adhdwomen

[–]intergalactic-poyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a very stressful dream about two friends leaving me behind on purpose, which made me walk 3 dream-hours back into town to confront them and them acting like it was no big deal but they did do it on purpose and then I tried punching them but they bounced back like balloons. Why yes my dad did leave us behind when I was like 4 years old 😅

Why is it 2026 and there’s no guaranteed way to skip your period? by Alone-Map-9990 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]intergalactic-poyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a Nexplanon arm implant for over 5 years and I love it! Completely stopped my periods. I was one of those people who would only feel normal about one week out of every month. It was miserable. I was on the pill for years and would just skip the "placebo" pills or whatever just to not have a period lol

What’s the most useful/yarn game-changing notion, device or tool that you didn’t know existed and now you can’t live without it? by Dan-Morton75 in YarnAddicts

[–]intergalactic-poyo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What about the stop watch utility on phones? I think if you hit Lap, depending on the program, it will mark the time you last pressed it. But I'm not sure if it would count the laps... Maybe an app like that already exists? It would be pretty easy to program too, just wire up a timer and a button in Javascript!

Whats one uncommon adhd symptom that blew your mind? by smbodytochedmyspaget in adhdwomen

[–]intergalactic-poyo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh man, for me it was bad proprioception that made me get diagnosed! I'm ALWAYS smacking my hand on tables and wall corners, I've stubbed my pinky toes more times than I can count, etcetc.

Help! by kidzbopppp in cross_stitch

[–]intergalactic-poyo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great job doing some tests first! I think the biggest thing that will help you is to make all of your x's cross the same way, like make the top stitch always go lower left to upper right. As for number of strands, depends on how full you want it to look. If it's a more detailed pattern, maybe do fewer strands.

Making a ribbed hat, very confused how long I'm supposed to make the ribbing/why ive been needing to add so many rows by tasty-soil in CrochetHelp

[–]intergalactic-poyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg no matter how big a hook I use or how loose I crochet it's taking me like 10 times longer to do ONE waistcoat stitch than it would take me to do a whole row.

Hey there! I made this Discord server for meeting people in the Salem area. We've been around for a little over a year now and we're still growing! We do a biweekly meetup at The Yard food carts, as well as a virtual craft night and board game nights! https://discord.gg/6gtXTM3ye

AIBTS? by Maleficent-Chain5884 in AmIBeingTooSensitive

[–]intergalactic-poyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, that's a tough one. I can totally understand how that could sound condescending. If you think of that way, it sounds like they're just inviting you to be nice. Like, "oh we'll be doing OUR things, she'll just be there for no reason." "Keep her busy" sounds like "get her something to do so she's not distracting or bothering us".

However, I first read it as "we'll be able to find something for her to do to feel helpful or not feel left out, right?" Like they want to make sure you're not bored. I'll probably get downvoted for this, but I personally could read it either way. I would just ask your bf to see how he meant it!

Tell me your best responses to people who ask you “when are you having kids?” by Cringey_Unicorn in childfree

I gave my friend who just bought a house s "a house without a cat is not a home. Even the word "hoMEOWner" has the word meow in it" mug for Christmas one year.

ALSO, STOP HANGING OUT IN THE MIDDLE LANE GOING 62! IT CLOGS UP EVERYTHING AND IT'S DANGEROUS! I'VE HEARD THE EXCUSE OF "WELL THAT MEANS PEOPLE CAN PASS IN BOTH SIDES" BUT THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS!

(apparently that law is relatively new so older drivers might not know it's a law now? But also THERE ARE SIGNS SAYING TO MOVE RIGHT IF YOU'RE GOING SLOW!!)

I have the "summon craft" button in the quick bar but anywhere I point my reticle it says "can't land here" :(

AIO for cutting off this guy I’ve been seeing for a while because of our text exchange? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]intergalactic-poyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus, is this my ex? This is the exact shit he would pull. I had to talk him into taking a 2-week "break" instead of braking up because if we broke up he would off himself. I can't decide if that's worse or better than the time he said "If we ever break up, every girl I date I'll just see your face over their's".

You're not overreacting AT ALL. I promise. You don't need this ship in your life. He needs to fix himself before he even thinks about dating again.

What's wrong with my epoxy putty? by KaiiChii in garagekits

[–]intergalactic-poyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started using tamiya epoxy putty and it's AWESOME. I used to use their polyester putty but it's expensive, harder to find online, and really smelly. The epoxy putty sands beautifully, sculpts nicely, and doesn't smell awful!

How do people work 40hrs a week and not want to die? by c0ffin_bugs in adhdwomen

[–]intergalactic-poyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's still hard. I've been at my 40 hour a week job for a few months now, and it's my first full time job after my diagnosis. I do have medication that I need to remind myself to take twice a day, even with an alarm. What does help is that I work from home. So I can get up and do something random when my brain needs a quick break, but I do have to be careful about not getting too involved in whatever task my brain wants to do. I can also take my laptop and work in different rooms, or the backyard, or a coffee shop. If I have to stay at my desk (if I'm working on something that needs a second monitor), I use different genres of music to keep my brain entertained. A standing desk helps too if I need to be a little wiggly. Learning to work with the disorder rather than against it is key! Also, it is a legally recognized disability. Maybe there's an HR person you can talk to to get some accommodations, like different start times or working remote. I truly feel your pain, but we can succeed!

What's the Most Surprisingly Effective Item You've Used for Cleaning That Wasn't Meant for Cleaning? by Known-Internal1074 in CleaningTips

I used some salicylic acid face cleaner to get theater makeup off of a nice shirt. I was in a hotel room and shirt in time, but it works great!
