I really hate that my body has such a strong smell aversion to redbull to the point of dry heaving because of the Jäegermeister incident during 4th of July almost 20 years ago. In my rational mind I know there’s no booze in the can, but my stomach says otherwise.
I can’t understand why all the world’s rich people don’t want to pool their money together to buy me an average 18+ foot walleye boat with a few extra bells and whistles. Talk about class warfare 🤦🏻♂️
Resisting the ADHD urge to start a new hobby where I rationalize the cost of premium equipment I’ll use once and then later abandon. Theme: Building a CR box that has an embedded microcontroller connected to an AQI sensor to control fan speed. Need quality soldering equipment & learn how to solder.
My ADHD superpower is being on a prescription military grade stimulant and enough caffeine to kill a water buffalo and still feeling like I could take a nap for 10 straight hours
It’s definitely a, “I suddenly need to take a 4-week long vacation” kind of day
If you’re over 30 you will need a change of underwear today. The swass factor is off the charts.
idk how I’m going to survive my daughter’s teenage years. I think she’s already there at 5 years old with all the screaming and attitude
The difference in skills for my 6 y/o son’s soccer league is crazy. There’s parents on the other teams screaming at their kids who actually know how to play. My son’s team had 2 practices total and now all they do is play against other teams. Meanwhile my son is kicking the ball to his team’s goal.
ISD 196 is out of their damn minds if they think we’d be sending our 5 & 6 year old kids to their 1st soccer game in this heat. I was expecting them to cancel tonight for the 6pm game…but no. They emailed parents saying, “we can still play as long as the heat index is under 100°!”
I know it’s super confusing, but tonight and every single night since July 5th is not in fact the 4th of July. Neighbors are gonna start catching hands lighting off airborne fireworks.
Sometimes I wish I had the misplaced confidence of old folks driving through a roundabout. There’s enough tire tracks going through what is very clearly the center of the roundabout rather than on the dedicated pavement.
I have a bone to pick with these children’s content approved YouTube channels that feature random segments with yellow and/or gold colored showers. It’s super fun being at a soccer practice when your five year old loudly yells, “dad I want a golden shower like the kids and that man on the TV!”
The stages of realizing that smell isn’t the thing you thought it was. 1. Oof someone definitely just ran over a skunk 2. Come to think of it I’ve never seen a skunk around here before 3. That skunk actually smells…pretty good? 4. Yeah, no yeah that’s not a skunk
Hoo wee we’re definitely into the “both ears clogged for no reason” stage of summer allergies
Good good. I was hoping to figure out how to file an insurance claim because a neighbor set off fireworks that went airborne and melted my vinyl siding. At least my house didn’t catch fire #silverLinings
What an absolutely terrible time it must be to be a firefighter right now with the drought conditions and all the exceedingly drunk people yeeting unregulated fireworks into the air.
I can’t prove it with data but I have to assume the rate of divorce in marriages where at least one partner has ADHD is markedly higher than when there are two neurotypical partners. The amount of phrases that trigger my RSD has shrunk over the years with consistent therapy, but still…
Dang. The new reverse osmosis system makes our drinking water not taste like I’m licking chlorine off a frying pan anymore. It’s amazing what not drinking PFAS, gross alpha radiation, and chlorine can do for your well being. Probably gives a temporary +1 con, +1 vit buff.

Friends, what is the correct age for a man to be having a midlife crisis? I’m talking about some intense new hobby, working out after having not lifted more than a cookie for the last decade, and making a subjectively justified luxury purchase. Methinks a walleye fishing boat would reaaaaally nice.
I really wish I could find a job that had insurance benefits and let me be bad at fishing all day
Cool cool cool, the new dehumidifier threw in the towel and immediately got ice in the fins after 1 hour. It’s asinine that I need to add a space heater in the vicinity of the dehumidifier just so it can work
PSA for anyone with an AC unit. Check that the fins are free from fuzz, dirt, and debris. They sell no rinse coil cleaners at just about any hardware store. Soft long bristle brushes will do the trick too. tl;dr Don’t make your AC unit work harder than it needs to in a record heat wave.
One thing that’s damn near impossible to explain to folks without ADHD are the periods of unrelenting tiredness that hit you no matter what you put in your body. ✅ Adderall ✅ 30 oz coffee ✅ Diet Coke My brain: “It is now safe to turn off your computer”
Just kidding, Inver grove heights has been threatened with a $150 million dollar lawsuit over their 1-year moratorium from the data center developer claiming damages after their application was accepted. ighmn.gov/m/newsflash/...

Well the first signs of businesses pushing back on data center moratoriums at least in Dakota county has begun. I don’t know the history of the metro area towns since I’m a MN transplant, but it was surprising to me that this is an Eagan business. www.kare11.com/article/news...
