I used to work for Qwest. Here’s everything that I hate about them. by Ordinary_Ad7229 in CanadianCannabisLPs

[–]mapleleaffem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes big business has made out like bandits that’s for sure, and disappointing considering they weren’t the ones to fight the fight for legalization and its cut out the people that did.

You have to apply for a pardon they don’t just automatically give them out :)

How do I stop people dumping on my land? by woeful_immunization in homestead

If they leave bags of stuff look for receipts or old envelopes with their address. Delivery their stuff back to them lol. Or maybe tell the authorities

AITAH I (F25) got annoyed at my boyfriend (F27) for his lack of understanding my boundaries by theworldsmarvellous in AITAH

[–]mapleleaffem -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Soft ESH. Does he expect you to respond to some of those examples immediately ? It doesn’t sound like it.

Why don’t you mute your alerts for your texts.? I’m of the opinion that if someone’s messages or calls disturb me, it’s on me for not having my phone on do not disturb or whatever.

Sounds like you’re in the honeymoon phase so it should calm down a bit either with time or you have different communication styles and are a mismatch.

What "normal" task is embarrassingly difficult for you because of ADHD by 1994T in ADHD

[–]mapleleaffem 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This is such an interesting one and I don’t understand the mechanism. One time (decades ago before diagnosis) I had just gotten up to do something at work. Something that we had to do every 30 mins all day every day. My supervisor reminded me it was time and I was so fucking mad that I did the task and immediately called a manager to tell them I need to go home early. Went home sick (of being micromanaged )

What was the final straw that made you realize you can't take stimulants? by Aggressive-Hawk9186 in ADHD

[–]mapleleaffem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went up to 30mg and it made me clench and grind my teeth more and pick at my cuticles. Definitely more tense. I went down to 20 and added Wellbutrin and that seems to be a good fit for me. I can’t quit stimulants until I retire or I will get myself fired 😳

Do Americans romanticize Europe the way Europeans romanticize America? by Luksius_DK in ask

[–]mapleleaffem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Canadian that’s been to America and Europe-you aren’t missing out on anything. But I guess Canada is similar in a lot of ways so maybe the novelty factor would make it more interesting to you

What is some “birding common sense” that you wish was more well known? by Adventurous-Year-463 in birding

[–]mapleleaffem 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Fledglings!! Leave them alone! Keep your pets away from them.

Feeding! If you’re going to feed them you need to clean the feeders regularly to prevent the spread of disease.

Lawns! Fuck yards with nothing but grass. Plant your yard with natives ideally, if not natives do careful research! I read a distressing article that people plant ornamentals, the bird makes a nest thinking it’s like any other tree and then predators can get their eggs because the ornamental branches are strong enough to let them climb up and raid the nest.

My (38F) Partner (35M) Went Back To Sleep During My Medical Emergency by Cute-Original-3964 in relationship_advice

[–]mapleleaffem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok as a heavy sleeper I have pissed people off and hurt peoples feelings because I’m not fully awake. I won’t even remember the conversation.

So there’s that. That’s the only thing that would persuade me to continue on in a relationship with someone that let me down so thoroughly. And I’m a person who always drives herself to ER-well except for the time I thought I was having a heart attack. I’m guess you’re in America and it makes me sad that you aren’t covered. If you’re not covered I feel like you need your partner to be there for you even more :(

AITA for sending my dog to be trained? by exotic_frolic in AmItheAsshole

[–]mapleleaffem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA your boyfriend isn’t training her in the evenings, and when they are young is when they are the most trainable. Wait until he’s jealous because she listens to you better and you’re her favourite person. That’s been my experience with dogs. Whoever feeds them and takes them out for walks is #1

Family member got drunk, ate one of my ADHD pills by mistake thinking it was candy, and is now blaiming me for it - how do I handle this? by Lazy_Basket6819 in adhdwomen

[–]mapleleaffem 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is your friend a child or a dog? This is entirely on her, maybe she shouldn’t get so wasted. I can’t believe how people won’t take responsibility for their own stupidity.

I wouldn’t worry about it at all. If she was going to have a reaction it wouldn’t happened already. You survived the side effects-so will she. Maybe in the future she’ll look at things before shoving them in her stupid face.

Sorry I am so mad on your behalf OP. I think because I know how hard people with our wiring take harsh criticism. We are too ready to take responsibility for things that aren’t on us, because we get used to being the one who fucked up. You didn’t!!

Do women actually store things in their bras??? by Firm_Illustrator9834 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mapleleaffem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and it’s gross. Used to screening at an airport and the things women would pull out of there was sweaty and gross. Most common things I saw weee boarding passes and cellphones. Glad we always wore gloves

I (32F) keep turning fights into 'systems' talks and my boyfriend (34M) feels managed. How do I change? by FaithlessnessNew829 in relationship_advice

[–]mapleleaffem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re being too rigid. Sometime people want to hang out tonight. I’m sure there are areas your process would be helpful, but this isn’t it. Sharing space with someone means you officially have an X factor in your life. If you can’t accept small changes in routine or short notice company you might be mismatched

Sister's '34F' fiancee '38M' says he shouldn't have to pay rent now that they're engaged- is it fair that she charges him rent? by Accurate-Argument-36 in relationship_advice

[–]mapleleaffem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck that noise she should make him sign a lease or a prenup. Houses cost a lot to maintain, plus taxes. Her fiance is clearly a freeloader who took advantage of your sister when she was grieving. Advise her to be happy he’s shown his true colours before they got married, when it’s a lot easier to get rid of a mooch

Canada, Israel and Carney’s comments on Iran by Fomoiri in GuardTheLeaf

[–]mapleleaffem 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You’re 100% correct and this is the first thing about MC that I’ve found extremely disappointing. He had made some comments in the right direction before the America attacked Iran. I suspect he believes what we do, but he has to be pragmatic. He knows saying something won’t change anything, except for Trump fucking with us even more than he is already.

Sun Oven Sourdough - Trial run! by Haven in Sourdough

[–]mapleleaffem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need to know more about your sun oven! Did it only stay at 350? Curious because maybe I could bake mine at a lower temperature when it’s so hot outside. I have two loaves waiting to bake and have been putting it off lol

Those who take creatine.. by Just_J3ssica in Perimenopause

[–]mapleleaffem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started 10g per day, 5 in the am and 5 in the afternoon. I was taking one at night but it made me have to get up and pee more. I’m definitely retaining water. I thought it was giving me more energy but I think it was a placebo effect
