  • As someone diagnosed with ADHD, I can easily sit quietly in a room with my own thoughts for 20+ minutes.

    What I can’t seem to do is make the two simple phone calls I need to make and write the one page report that I need to write before the end of the week. That’s literally all I need to do today, I’ve been at my desk for two hours and have done none of it. If I got that done now, I could coast the rest of my work day but instead I’m going to sit here and stress for a few more hours before I finally do any of it. Why? I can’t tell you because I don’t know.


  • In that context it sounds like they are using the word “sadly” in place of a word like “unfortunately”.

    “unfortunately, i’m referring to you.”

    “Unfortunately, i think you should suffer and realize what an annoying piece of shit you are.”

    Now, as to why it’s sad or unfortunate, I’m not sure. It could be that the person saying “sadly” likes the other person but is upset with them in the moment, or the person saying “sadly” could be trying to soften the blow of a mean comment like the one you used in the example, or they could be saying it’s sad/unfortunate for the person they are talking to.

    Just my two cents.

    I thought you were getting better at the insults and you went back to your tired old playbook. Must be my fault for thinking you might have had an original thought. Oh well, you’re boring now so I’m done for the evening. Good night and I hope you’re able to fix whatever is broken inside of you.








  • I understand the sentiment and yes, just like everything else, capitalism has turned death into a money making racket at the expense of the average person.

    I live near a cemetery currently and was raised near a different one, they make great neighbors. Quiet and the one near me now is also a wildlife refuge so I can’t call that wasted space. Yes, it’s privately owned but it’s open to the public. Also, I work in historic preservation and love working in and exploring cemeteries.

    In the end, I just love the blend of history, architecture, and nature in one place.




  • What worked for me was to find a replacement for the sensation in my mouth. The big problem with a lot of sodas is the sugar and calories so I wanted to find a substitute that’s lower in those categories. I broke my addiction to Mt Dew with a big glass of the coldest water I could get, the cold mouth feel took the place of the fizzy one. I’m back on fizzy stuff but I stick to flavored seltzer water and usually only one with dinner.
