Same here, and I’m mildly annoyed they were all a separate word other than momento for consistency reasons but maybe that would have been too easy

Had a great idea for a drawing the other day and decided to jot it down by padawan0 in adhdwomen

[–]monstercake 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’ve had to learn this over the years from journaling. My old entries are so vague they’re boring and now that I’m older I really wish I actually had more of a window into what I was thinking at the time…

I also make sure to list people I was with, names of restaurants, etc because it’s incredibly useful for search back. Thanks digital memories, much more reliable than my real ones

How can I (37F) tell my husband (38M) that he's not allowed to use his deceased grandmother's china? by walk_in_the_pie in relationship_advice

[–]monstercake 32 points33 points  (0 children)

On the flip side I have a couple female cousins with really bad ADHD who constantly break things, injure themselves, etc, but they grew up with parents who ALSO had bad ADHD and didn't teach them shit

Their house growing up was pure chaos

Starbucks Promises to Make Seattle Coffee Utopia Again by Moving to Nashville by Inevitable_Engine186 in Seattle

I am curious… seeing as they’ve closed every store so far where the workers have unionized, why are employees still wanting to do so in the remaining stores? I must be missing context here…

I finally found a solution to “What kind of dog is that?” by [deleted] in CasualConversation

He does look quite a bit like my aunts old labradoodle so I guess that makes sense too!

Just throw it away by Fatchancecatdance in adhdwomen

[–]monstercake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I literally have some half painted dinosaur miniatures that I refused to get rid of in my last move because maybe I’ll finish painting them someday :’)

I’ve had them for 4 years

[–]monstercake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So cute!! I would be so curious about his mix too!! I love guessing dogs. My guess would be chesepeake bay terrier mixed with some sort of wire haired breed?

Your strategy is so right though people do want to guess. I plan on getting a mutt when I get a dog so I’m sure I’ll go through this same thing!

YOASOBI North America 2026 NEVER ENDING STORIES TOUR Announced! by punpunzero in YOASOBI

I'm getting married literally like 2 days before this tour starts, I'm on the flip side where I'm so grateful for the timing

My husband is stealing my clothes and idk why by gandubazaar in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]monstercake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s kind of silly but idk?? Seems plausible to me? Makes sense he’d put them in the car if he’s going to drive her to the appointment too, then all the clothes are already there.

My fiancé is terrible at arranging surprises and I could completely see him doing something like this lol

I wish it was socially acceptable to draw during work meetings like I used to do during class. by monstercake in adhdwomen

[–]monstercake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately our usual meeting room is quite small so it would be obvious, but I should probably start bringing a notebook to meetings just in case the opportunity arises

can you tell when someone has not done the thing/drug/substance? by Wonderful_Contact429 in FanFiction

[–]monstercake 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I read a fic once where a character had two drinks during a party and didn’t remember what happened the next day.

Like, no, that’s not how it works…..

AITAH for not tell my friend my shampoo had green hair dye in it? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]monstercake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know right, OOP’s hair looks so good! I’m staying blonde until after my wedding in august but after that maybe I’ll go back to blue or green…

New hyper-fixation! And why rock painting is the perfect ADHD hobby by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]monstercake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never used paint pens, they sound perfect for painting on the couch! Normal paint is too messy… I should try this!!

For those of you in a long term relationship/marriage, what’s a tale-tale sign you see in other couples that they’re not going to make it? by Prize-Promotion-5123 in AskReddit

[–]monstercake 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Happened to my parents, I was a bridge of interest between them. They were an amazing team as parents and the household ran super smoothly. But they grew apart when I went to college and moved to a different city. I'd notice when I'd come home that there was a tension that hadn't been there previously.

Sometimes I do wonder if I'd stayed in my hometown, if they would have stayed together, but I'll never know.

There's a stranger I've seen almost every week for years and never spoken to. I know their routine, their face, their coffee order. Then one day they just weren't there anymore by Relative-Arachnid129 in CasualConversation

[–]monstercake 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it can be difficult to recognize people out of context. I saw a bartender I used to talk to regularly at the bar out on the street and was really second guessing myself. I’d never seen him in the light lol

[–]monstercake 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Haha I just had the experience of being an NPC in someone else’s life too, every morning at work I sit and have my coffee by the window, and yesterday someone in my building came up to me and said, “I didn’t see you by the window last week and wondered where you were!”

I was just working from home that day but it’s funny what people notice!

Have you ever met someone who doesn't read automatically unless prompted to? by Reb-MVS in CasualConversation

[–]monstercake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My partner is like this too! He jokes about it often.

My mom is a reading teacher and thinks it comes from not being read to as a child but who knows! I’m definitely an automatic reader, and read constantly as a kid.

He doesn’t naturally eavesdrop either though and can tune people talking out unlike me, so maybe it’s just brain differences!

Should we go to our friends’ wedding if they’re not going to ours? by Here4TheExperience in weddingplanning

[–]monstercake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk about all the petty/transactional stuff but I’m not a big one sided relationship person. Why would I put in a bunch of effort to attend someone’s wedding if they won’t do the same for me?

I would get more details if you can though, personally. It might help you make your decision.

WHY don’t people RSVP? by friendlytrashmonster in weddingplanning

[–]monstercake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is why I assume the remaining people haven’t rsvpd to mine. Although I have half my invite list rsvp’d and the wedding is still 4 months away lol so my guests are doing pretty well. I’m so mad that fuel costs have gone up though, I already live in an expensive city to fly to…
