  • OP, I had a floppy chain like yours, but I fidgeted too hard and broke it 😂 I liked to try to squeeze my finger in between the rubber bands and over time it didn’t like me doing that lol

    My favorite is my Ono Roller. It’s metal and has a delightful weight to it. I got the youth size for my small hands lol. I like that it’s completely silent and occupies my entire hand

    I also like the Nee Doh squishies. My mini cube is my 2nd favorite fidget at the moment. The ones filled with gel are superior to the ones with white goo. The ones with more varied shape (mushroom/animal) are more likely to make fart noises when squished. (I also have to resist fidgeting too aggressively and breaking these lol. One night the intrusive thoughts won and I was biting a cube while stretching it. It was a really good bite feel, but a bunch of air got in the cube and solidified the goo and now it’s extremely hard and won’t squish unless you sit on it and warm it up for half an hour first lmao 😂)




  • For my in-office keyboard I have Gazzew Boba U4 silent tactile switches. I’m very happy with them. I saw some advice that said not to lube them, which I gladly took to save myself the effort lol. I’ve been using them at work for 2.5 years now. And my coworker who (politely) complained about my keyboard being too loud before has not complained about this one 🙂

    I use them on a Keychron K-series keyboard that originally came with brown switches. I did also upgrade the stabilizers on this one, my space bar was too loud.

    I will say that I prefer my Keychron Q5 that I have at home. It was more expensive than the K-series, but it has better build quality. I haven’t had to do any mods (the stabilizers it shipped with haven’t bothered me) and I prefer the metal body of the keyboard.

    Never see the hawks target them either, they fight back and mob predators.

    Ooh cool! So just the other day, my husband saw a hawk grab a grey squirrel. And a squirrel buddy came over and attacked the hawk and rescued the first squirrel!! We’ve never seen or heard of anything like that before. These were grey squirrels.

    Maybe squirrels are a lot more roughty toughty than I’ve been giving them credit for! 😁

    Well I’m not sure about that, but that’s a good point…

    Polar bears have translucent hair that looks white, and black skin. Looks like black squirrels have black skin. So maybe it depends if this white squirrel still has black skin underneath 🤷‍♀️ I’m going to tell myself that the lil guy will be fine because that’s a happier ending 😅



  • American born to English ex-pats here. We also left out beer for Santa - and carrots for the reindeer.

    We left cookies out too, I’ll have to ask if the cookies (and maybe the carrots too) were just put back in the box/fridge, or what actually got eaten.

    Edit: my dad says the beer and cookies were definitely eaten but “neither of those pair well with carrots” so apparently they just went back in the fridge. I’m not sure why my brother and I bothered with the carrots then 😂





    1. Get off your high horse of weed being healthier than prescription medication.

    2. I’m not a doctor (but clearly neither are you) but I doubt you actually have ADHD… Weed exacerbates my ADHD symptoms. Attempting to treat my disability with weed would NOT work for me.

    3. Let’s say you’re correct and you do have ADHD and vaping a sativa strain really does help you. Well everyone is different and not every medication or treatment program is going to be a solution for everyone (for any condition, not just ADHD.) So either way, gtfo of here with the attitude that weed is the only solution anyone could possibly need and all of us are just victims for thinking otherwise.



  • Your use of “chemist” makes me think you’re out of the US.

    Most ADHD meds in the US are “controlled substances” and that means our doctors can only prescribe up to three months at a time. After three months we have to have a follow-up appointment, then they can prescribe three more months of meds.

    Plus the federal government decided that too many people were taking medications like Adderall. So their “solution” was to instate a cap on how much Adderall manufacturers can make. Which means there’s now a national shortage of Adderall. And that shortage means folks with ADHD are frequently going without their meds entirely or are forced to call multiple pharmacies in the area to ask who has their meds in stock. (My health insurance through work requires me to use a mail-order pharmacy because it means cost savings for them. But that means I don’t have the luxury of shopping around different stores to see who has my meds in stock - at least, not to fill the prescription through insurance and get the lower price. So if the mail order place is out, then I’m screwed.)

    Our healthcare system is so fucked.
