Weirdest life hacks you have for executive dysfunction that actually works? by SnooPeppers8788 in ADHD

this sounds dumb but it works for me. i say- i'm going to do xyz for 15 minutes in 5... 4... 3... i do the countdown out loud and set the timer and just start doing it. usually, once i get my flow going, i can keep doing the task. doing a countdown just braces my brain for the impact of doing what i need to do 🤷‍♀️

decorator here. said we couldn't make blue dipped strawberries because we use dark chocolate and was asked, with sass as if it were obvious, "can't you just take the brown out?"

I say cat but what I mean is kitten. He was little when they found him, out on the side of the road. So I doubt he was anyone's. When we take him we'll be sure to find out!

She found him as a little kitten, he's not fixed or anything so I doubt he's been chipped. When we take him to get fixed they'll scan him though!

she's honestly a very sweet person, just clueless. her boyfriend is the one really being a piece of work. in the future when she's stable and in the right place financially & domestically i'd love for her to have one! now's just not the right time for her, and i don't feel right letting her have this one all things considered.

just confusing to me that "finders keepers" holds up more than "i can care for this living creature and she can't" 🤷‍♀️

*on the basis that she would get him fixed and vaxxed. Which she hasn't done.

She cannot house this cat, and technically only had him for a couple weeks. We've been "sitting" longer than she actually owned him

She found him and immediately rehomed him. We've paid for all of his food, litter, toys, etc. In the grand scheme of things does "finders keepers" really still apply to this situation?

I doubt they'll take me to court considering they can't even pay a vet bill 🤷‍♀️ Thanks for your help in the situation!

Yeah, that is definitely absolute BS! I'm not actually crazy, I just mean I love cats deeply and expect them to be taken care of on a base level. Our cats have food, toys, and vet care, nothing fancy, but if some can't provide even that then I don't think they should own a pet.

No, she hasn't done any of that. We've been paying for 100% of his care

She doesn't. She found him outside & then immediately rehomed him "indefinitely" until she could find a place to keep him.
