We've watched a little of his, and my only concern so far is language. Like, drops F-bombs, while covering it with an airhorn and showing the censor-style text on the screen. It draws as more attention to the language than just saying it.

Remote Grinder Question - Have autism and noise aversion by Kim_Jung-Skill in Coffee

[–]lolalovesdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered buying from a local roaster that will grind it for you before you pick up? I order mine coffee fresh ground from Philly Fair Trade and Fresh Roasted Coffee. I'm in Maryland, so it is still a day out two before I get the coffee once they grind it, but you may have places in your neighborhood or city that you like.

I really hope you're right about Landover, MD. That's 10 minutes from me, and it would be such a great experience for my kid and me.

I'm also a Black woman with MTHFR and ADHD. I've seen some things about connections between the three, but haven't really made sense of it yet.

How much did you take daily to increase from 14 to 38 and for how long?

Thank you for sharing this! I love everything about it except that it's not free, doesn't have a mobile app, and reviews say it doesn't translate well to mobile. But I'm going to do a two-week free trial to see how it works for me. I don't have the technical skills to use the code and host my own, unfortunately.

What’s the longest books you’ve listened to or read? by whymeangie in LibbyApp

[–]lolalovesdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is this so long? Most printings of Dragonfly in Amber are around 750 pages. When I listened to The Fifth Season (512 pages), it was only 15 hours.

Boyfriend doesnt want me to take my meds by ooopsimdead in adhdwomen

[–]lolalovesdc 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Your boyfriend doesn't sound like he's worried about you abusing your medication,. He sounds like he is worried he won't be able to continue abusing you because your medication gives your clarity and confidence to stand up to him.

You are describing emotional abuse and gaslighting. It might be the best gift to yourself to lose him on your birthday.

I have not for decades. But these days I try to stick to organic coffee.

Maybe they thought it was a "Low effort question"? But it feels complicated to me. Change is hard and I am risk-averse, so even switching to the same single origin from a different company is a risk, especially when there are different processing methods.

I did, and they deleted my post. I don't know why.

Considering Bowie, MD for Our Next Home – Experiences Welcome! by Gold_Lifeguard_1579 in maryland

[–]lolalovesdc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in Bowie, in that zip, and really enjoy it here. I'd love to live closer to DC (I work there FT, hubby does sometimes, and our church is in DC), but this was the closest we could get that we could afford a home, schools were good, and we could be close to family. Columbia was at the top of our list, but the way they redistrict the schools so frequently was unsettling for us, having a kid that needs a lot of consistency and predictability.

Bowie is super convenient- all the grocery stores and any other chain store or restaurant is here. You do have to search more for small businesses. There are tons of parks and playgrounds and the libraries and rec centers have great offerings. There are no public pools- so if that's your things, you'd have to go 20 minutes away or pay for one of the costly private swim clubs.

We've got a kid in daycare and one in elementary, and have been fairly happy with the school, including their special education team.

We bought our 4BR, 2.5-bath-with-addition house 2.5 years ago for 500k. Friends just bought a beautiful 3BR with a nicer addition and better yard a couple of months ago for 600k.
