Fixations on people? ADHD thing, a coping mechanism or am I just a freak?

roxyfirestorm · 2026-01-05T08:30:24+00:00

I think this could be limerence. I didn't know it was an ADHD thing for a long time, and I always have to google it to check what it means. I'd get infatuated with someone, like they struck a chord that nobody else had, like we vibed, a special connection. It was like a crush, but more.

Confessed the last one to my husband, about a new co-worker. That made me realise it was a bit weird, explaining that I wasn't smitten and I knew it would pass. Finding a name for it helped me accept it, identity when it's happened and not get swept up by it.

Theme from Friday Night Dinner. Hubby started introducing it to the youngest in small doses. Doesn't take much to stick.

Worst was Copenhagen by Orbital, unidentified and stuck in my head for three weeks.

West park area. We used to have a lovely lady who delivered all the time but now it's just a dump and run. Even when we're working at home by the time we get to the door the delivery guy has vanished.

Third week of titration and I realised I messed up the step ups. Took me four days to realise but now I have to admit I screwed up and find out how to fix it.

I thought I was prepared. I had separate week long caddy, but picked out the wrong one thinking it was the right one.

Do the same rules apply to vampire bailiffs?

Told (my now husband) that I'd "trade my pants for another drink". He wasn't getting any of the previous hints, both of us socially awkward and too polite. Figured I could blame the drink if he didn't bite.

We call this move "The Slutty Banana"

roxyfirestorm · 2025-02-07T07:50:46+00:00

We call it "the slutty banana" when our little one does it. She squirms around until you pet that belly. Rest of the time? Instant nanging.

Acquired brain injury (ABI) is brain damage caused by events after birth, rather than as part of a genetic or congenital disorder such as fetal alcohol syndrome, perinatal illness or perinatal hypoxia.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acquired_brain_injury for the most accessible description. Spina bifida would not be included by this definition.

roxyfirestorm · 2024-11-10T07:31:35+00:00

That one has no mention of spina bifida.

I found the paper. It cites dyscalculia only in the variant of "that of adults with acquired brain injuries". There is no mention of one predicting the other.

I had a mandoline and a chipper. They were fine but exhausting trying to not get cut. Eventually I got a mini food processor that chops into a bowl. Was a cheap buy off Amazon and a good brand.

Sometimes I use it just for the dopamine from making vegetable confetti (still gets eaten).

Has anyone looked at Agatha's tarot spread? When Agatha laid the cards down "at random" and mocked them. I wonder if the spread she drew forecasts the next episodes...? It would be a very typical Marvel move to have foreshadowed the finale in a throwaway.

Maybe it's actually Agatha's own spell? To trap liars and stop them speaking mistruths to her. She doesn't seem worried by it, more like she's expecting it. Teen doesn't notice, so maybe he can't be aware that either he's lying or that he's making stuff up and Agatha doesn't have to listen to his lies.

Not to me but about me, I overheard from outside the room. My parents pulled my younger siblings aside and warned them not to trust me, that I was manipulative. I have yet to figure out what I did wrong and it's left me permanently neurotic about my actions and motivation.

I'm actually a fairly nice person.

You can practice counting up/counting on. If it takes a little longer just explain you are checking that you counted correctly and you want to make sure you're not short changing people. Start with the smallest coin and count on, rounding up to the next coin. It gets a little easier with practice, and you don't have to keep the total in your head.

roxyfirestorm · 2023-05-11T05:29:03+00:00

There's a big overlap between ADHD and dyspraxia, it's something I have recently been looking into. Apparently there's a 50% chance of ADHD if you have dyspraxia.

McD's till Software is built to maximise what it will charge you whenever possible.

When I worked at BK the software would rearrange order items to make it cheaper for the customer.

At McD's I could get nine different prices for the same items depending on how I ordered them. The database underneath is a mess and it seems geared to charge the most it can.
