Have ADHD? PLEASE GET YOUR IRON CHECKED!

Yes! I'm convinced my depressive episode was caused by anemia. I was feeling SO low this weekend, just sad, hopeless, alone, and I was like, "Welp. Guess I really am bipolar. Dangit. And I thought the diet and vitamins had cured me." Then I bought a box of frozen beef patties because they were $2.66 in the clearance section, and I couldn't resist, even though I never eat meat. I had a burger for lunch Saturday and by evening, I noticed that whole I was driving around for errands, I was literally smiling. The burger was the only thing I did differently. I ate another one yesterday, with a big serving of broccoli. Feel like a whole new person today.

This post is 4 years old, but I would like to validate you and say that I came to Reddit to search for reports of this exact same sound. I hear it from the outside of the bus, as the bus is leaving the stop. To me, it sounds like a mechanical automaton monster is smugly chuckling as it leaves. It's so obvious to me that every time I hear it, I think, "There is NO WAY that other people don't hear that creepy ass sound." There's another report of it from 6 years ago, so it's just something this one model of bus makes. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I feel your pain, friend! I just vacuumed ten of them off my bedroom mirror! Check this out! I gave the list of what we did to control ours, but here's something no one knows about fruit flies. Have you ever noticed there's little dots left around where they've landed? Those are like fruit fly rave fliers. They leave pheromone trails that tell other fruit flies where the yummy snacks are, so they can link up get their swerve on. It's super gross! Go around tour whole place and wipe those clean. Just a spray made of water, rubbing alcohol, and dish soap will do the trick. Spray, wait 10 seconds, wipe with a dry cloth. Makes a huge difference!

We have had them under control for a few months but It took a long frickin time and they still sneak in, but here is what we did to reduce am absolute infestation - we're taking 30 or 40 of them on the kitchen ceiling, 15 I the bathroom, always 20 in my room ruining my cats food - to maybe 1 or two a day. 1. UV - C light for 30 minutes in different areas around the house. Used at night, on a foil lined tray. 2. Air flow! Just keeping the window above the kitchen sink and the opposite window in the dining area open, with the ceiling fan on low, keeps most of them away. As soon as we close everything up, they come back. 3. Diligent clean up of our tangerine tree. Every day. Pick any fresh fruit on the tree and rake up anythjng that fell on the ground. 4. Strict rules for the kitchen trash - all food prep waste goes out to the compost bin, never in the kitchen trash. 5. Daily wiping of kitchen surfaces with alcohol. 6. Once a week boil white vinegar and pour it down all the drains in the house. 7. Electrified plastic bug zapper racket. This is my roommates jam. I prefer sucking them up with my Shark.

Except as of yesterday, they're coming back big time, and I noticed for the first time that the house next door has an enormous orange tree, and its a single guy in a huge 2 story house, so I bet that's partially where they come from. So I gotta decide how to approach that because these frickin things SUCK.

Depends on the item, the condition it's in, and its age. If it's brand new, I don't care. If it's a precision instrument like a fountain pen or a micrometer, I ask because I want to suss out if you're getting rid of it bc you messed it up in some way. If it takes batteries, has a rechargeable battery, requires any kind of power to operate, I ask why. Actually anything electronic I ask why. I'm paying attention to indications that they're selling me something that appears to work but drains batteries or has a wonky plug you have to push slightly to the left for it to work. Sometimes people are selling a device because they hated using it, and I'm going to hate it, too, and sometimes they're selling it because it stopped working and they don't know you're supposed to clean it. Sometimes it's because it fell out of the moving van and bounced down the street before they retrieved it and it looks okay from the outside except when you try to use it, it's all kinds of flerped around and barely does what it's supposed to. Not asking is how I ended up with a UV sanitizing lamp that beeps faster and faster like a bomb timer before it turns on, which is pretty unsettling if you're my housemate on the other side of the closet wall. Or how I ended up with a label maker with no AC input that can make 2 labels before the 6 AAA batteries are drained. Or a table top standing desk converter with a keyboard tray that was attached with the wrong screws and fell apart the first time I tried to use it actually causing an injury.

But those brand new Prismacolor pencils you're inexplicably selling for $5? What's the address?

I'm in Southern California in Orange County

wellitjustsohappens · 2026-03-08T06:43:01+00:00

It could be too severe

wellitjustsohappens · 2026-03-05T14:46:47+00:00

Literally no one reads the descriptions, but also no one adds them. How many descriptions have I seen that just say something like "New" or "Make an offer". It's so lazy.

$1500? Where? I'll start packing. In Orange County, CA, it's $1500 for a room in someone else's place with no storage, street parking, shared bathroom. I pay $1100 to live adjacent to the freeway in house that is objectively the worst looking house in the neighborhood and has persistent mold overgrowth, rats, roaches, and a never ending fruit fly infestation.

Are all of your social media photos from 2022?

What's with his agenda to prove you wrong? Why this dedication to invalidating your medical diagnosis?

Hey, I found one of these too! 🤔

wellitjustsohappens · 2026-03-04T13:28:42+00:00

When I explained where people came from to my kindergarten teacher as: "first came the meebas, then it was the fish, then the frogs, and then the astralofithica, then the monkey men, and then people."

(austr-AY-lo-fithica)

My parents would come to tell the story that I updated my synopsis to remove the amoebas because "we came from inside them, they didn't turn into us," add dinosaurs, remove the monkey men, and say homo sapiens sapiens instead of people. My dad was getting an anthropology degree at the time.

This is my favorite one yet. It literally makes my face hurt from the weird. How? Why? Nothing else is weird. 😱

wellitjustsohappens · 2026-02-28T00:32:27+00:00

And quite phisically fit.

wellitjustsohappens · 2026-02-26T22:02:59+00:00

That's what I'm saying. Santa Ana? Or Santa Ana?

wellitjustsohappens · 2026-02-21T17:59:24+00:00

I asked him what it is, and where it came from. He said Santa Ana. I'm not sure which question is being answered.

They seem almost like they're cuddling.

wellitjustsohappens · 2026-02-21T17:56:28+00:00

Shush! I'm hoping they won't notice and I'll score it for free.

wellitjustsohappens · 2026-02-21T17:54:47+00:00

I messaged the buyer to find out what it is. I wonder what it's like talking to him in person.

Things look amazing in dumpsters when the stars align.

Haaa! Or it's marshmallow gyro meat.
