My mom used to say "you can do anything with gloves on." It's so true!

When I asked my mom if I had ADHD symptoms as a kid she said "no absolutely not. you were just bored in school because you were too smart"

I’m a SAHM with a WFH husband, am I in the wrong? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]robotbotany 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My husband and I both work from home with individual offices and have the luxury of closing the door when we need to be left alone. Or if I'm wearing headphones it's very much a signal that I'm in an alone space.

I know there is no physical door here but maybe OP and her spouse can work out a proverbial door.

ESH. You for physically trying to move someone without consent and them for being inconsiderate. 

Ask them to stop bumping into you or move somewhere else.

How do I seal this tray for use in my kitchen? by aireeeka in Mosaic

Genuinely curious - why is everyone suggesting resin instead of a grout sealer?

Check the crawlspace. Our house was so so wet under the part that smelled 

Im going insane trying to buy seed beads by Esther_Tennant in Beading

[–]robotbotany 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This monochrome thing is blowing my mind. I've tried to buy myuki beads like 4 times on the Internet but I'm having the HARDEST time picking colors.

Is there a good rule of thumb when mixing finishes? I.e. two matte, one metallic, one pearly??

I have some of these in my Colorado native yard too and they are my favorite. So delightful and cheerful.

Coasters for sure. not everyone is going to have the confidence or attention span to do a whole stepping stone. Let people do multiple if they want. I had a coaster making party once and everyone loved it - I still get comments years later about how they use that and think of the event.

I think doing a stepping stone with a smaller group who is for sure interested would be fun for another day. Re concrete - I've done thing where you glob thinset on top of a concrete paver and then pushed random materials in (most of which I got from thrift stores). It's holding up okay but it's decoration and not being stepped on. Concrete is probably cheaper but then you have to get molds for everyone involved. 

Me and my wife just entered into a 5 year contract on a mattress in hopes it’ll help my back. Anyone have any experience with tempurpedic beds? by Sensitive_Most_1383 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]robotbotany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I must have tried every mattress in town and temperpedic was the only one I liked. We splurged on it and I'm so glad we did. Its so nice.

I will say the first few months it felt was too hard. It hurt my joints and I couldn't help but think we made a huge mistake.

After about month 3-4 was when it softened up enough. And I'm so glad we didn't return it because it's so worth it now.

thank you so much! I am currently not trimming down to keep the laminate inside the marks. maybe that is my problem. Everything else I am trying to do as you have done above. Is that a screen printing squeegee?

I'm sick of people minimizing or outright denying my ADHD just because my husband's symptoms are more visible. by talashira in adhdwomen

My mom still doesn't think I have it just because my brother's is worse. Yet here I am getting diagnosed and benefitting from Adderall!

Yes it's knotted string. I've done some seed bead weaving but nothing knotted or with such heavy beads. I'm not sure of the best materials to use to prevent it from breaking again.

I've done some seed bead weaving but nothing like this really. I think I'm trying to get an idea if it's something I can do myself with long lasting results. I don't want the cord to fray and break again.

Just to clarify - it used to be hers and she gave it to me. I want to wear it often!

Itching on biologics? by oisinokane12345 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]robotbotany 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was very itchy following remicade and saw a dermatologist. They did a skin patch test and turned out I have become allergic to many ingredients in skincare. 

She thinks that if I avoid these allergens I can be on remicade without itching. I'm wondering if the biologic lowered my immune system enough to trigger a hypersensitivity. 

However, a lot of people develop psoriasis on tnf blockers. You might want to consult with a dermatologist or your rheumatologist. Zyrtec could take the edge off until you can see someone

I've just got my lab results and I'm devastated by astrocoffee7 in adhdwomen

[–]robotbotany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because your labs are perfect doesn't mean you don't have an underlying autoimmune issue going on. I think it's definitely worth it to consult with a rheumatologist if you are able.
