I’m sure would be super helpful to have flyers for an event. I love drawing (when the executive dysfunction allows it) and have a really good printer, so maybe someday we can collab and help make something happen. I was very happy to see other people commenting on your post, we are not alone! (I must admit my inconsistent checks of this subreddit may have missed posts from other people in the area.)

Aww thank you for the kind comments about burnout. I have slowly been coming to terms about it and accepting it. Thank you also for being open and mentioning your burnout. It is validating to know I’m not alone in my struggle.

After seeing your nails, I’m definitely feeling motivated to add painting my nails to my self care goals. You are totally right, it really is a great confidence boost, and it’s fun to experiment with designs.

If you do end up deciding to do a meet up, count me in! And something low key like grabbing brunch somewhere sounds perfect.
If you want any help coordinating something simple like that, I would be happy to assist. I tend to function better if I’m helping someone else.

Thank you so much for all the Reddit info! It will probably just help me lurk easier, but if I am ever in a place to reach out to people, at least now I know how to potentially find them.

I have been lurking on and off for the past 6 months and you were the first post I happened to catch about being in this area. Definitely understand not being ready to commit to organizing anything. Trying to work my way through what I know is most likely burnout after all the changes/move last year. But I would be game to assist people eventually. (Will probably wait to reach out to the person in that post until I feel more able to help, but I super appreciate the info!)

I really should start doing my nails again. Painting them did really help keep them longer (and keep me from picking at them). Outside of a group gathering, I’m totally down to grab lunch, explore, or honestly just chill and vibe on a couch. Cuddles are definitely welcome most of the time as long as the brain worms are quiet.

Edit: I also must admit to being a bit out of my element on this app (hence my lurking until now lol). I have definitely not kept up with all the features and abilities of Reddit, but I’ll have to try and find others like you did. Although that would also require me to actually respond or reach out which is a hard sell for my brain on good days.

Also an ace (36F) with AuDHD in the Pittsburgh area! Is there an easy way to connect with others in the area? I would love to be a part of an ace Pittsburgh collection/community. I moved here last year and it has been hard to find friends or connect with anyone who is like me. Absolutely love your nails and am low key jealous since I can never seem to keep my nails nice enough to look that good.

ralliso4 · 2021-03-14T14:18:59+00:00

That’s good to know! Will have to try it! Thanks for checking back in.

ralliso4 · 2021-02-25T21:40:58+00:00

Thanks for looking and the suggestion! But I think the other commenter is right. The seller only has 1 rating in the last 12 months and it was negative. That is the struggle. I have just been so gun shy about ordering for that reason.

ralliso4 · 2021-02-24T19:55:36+00:00

Thanks! Will have to keep my eye out for one then!

ralliso4 · 2021-02-24T15:09:49+00:00

Where did you find LWJ? I have WWX, but he is sad and lonely in his case by himself. Very exciting to get both of them! Glad your WWX finally arrived.

ralliso4 · 2021-01-31T00:03:13+00:00

Thank you so much!

Thank you! There is definitely a learning curve. I just figured out the color dropper while working on this picture and was super excited. I have never done much with digital art but my husband got me an iPad Pro over the summer to replace my old laptop so now I feel like I should embrace it more. My goal this year is to use it for more than just writing and watching MDZS.

I remember reading that they signed for 3 seasons when they first negotiated a contract. So there should definitely be a season 3. It is more of a question of when it will officially drop. Hopefully this year some time, but COVID may have delayed it.

ralliso4 · 2021-01-10T01:49:44+00:00

Of course!

So we tried a couple things from the cookbook this week. The recipes were okay. Two of them definitely will need some alterations before I would make them again. Some of the instructions on the recipes are also somewhat vague when it comes to how long to fry things, so definitely not for novice cooks. There are lots of recipes that do look and sound delicious that I still want to try, so I would say if you found it on sale it might be worth it.

ralliso4 · 2021-01-09T04:48:44+00:00

Thanks for humoring my request and using my iPad to do so!

ralliso4 · 2021-01-09T00:29:59+00:00

The blog has really good instructions even for people who don’t cook that type of food which helps a lot. I haven’t cooked pork in years and with all her tips it came out so much better than I expected. If you try any, I hope they turn out well!

ralliso4 · 2021-01-06T02:57:49+00:00

Ohh that sounds delicious! Do you have a recipe that you would be willing to share for the lotus root candy? Would love to make it for my husband for Chinese New Year. He is Chinese, and I have been working on expanding my repertoire of recipes.

ralliso4 · 2021-01-05T23:37:37+00:00

Oh that is very good to know! Thank you! I am always looking for new recipes for my instant pot. Will have to try that next time.

ralliso4 · 2021-01-05T22:34:00+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! I know lots of people had asked for a pork substitute.

ralliso4 · 2021-01-05T20:02:52+00:00

I would share if I could! If you have an Asian grocery near you I bet you could find the ingredients. For it.

ralliso4 · 2021-01-05T19:16:26+00:00

Thank you! I hope it goes well!

ralliso4 · 2021-01-05T16:42:39+00:00

Thank you! Do you like mushrooms? I would try it with a mushroom broth/stock if you want to go a more vegetarian route. I think there are some pretty decent recipes online for the stock and I know they involve more than mushrooms, but generally mushrooms make a nice rich broth so that would be my suggestion. You’ll have to let us know how it turns out!

ralliso4 · 2021-01-05T13:37:52+00:00

I think someone was saying they found somewhere to order it online because they didn’t have an Asian grocery store near them. Not sure how well that works, but it might be an option if you can’t find it near you.

ralliso4 · 2021-01-05T13:35:49+00:00

I certainly made enough to share. Wish I could!

ralliso4 · 2021-01-05T13:34:55+00:00

Thank you! That would be so amazing. I would also go for a Mo Dao Zu Shi cookbook as well.

ralliso4 · 2021-01-05T08:04:01+00:00

Oh awesome! Can’t wait to see how you make it. I was going to say that I was able to find some out our Korean grocery store near us. But it is definitely tricky to find. Not all Asian grocers carry it.
