Not every state. This is Texas. I’m in California and my kid went to school with shoulder length hair that was half blue. My relatives in Texas kept asking what the school was doing about it. There’s nothing on the books about hair and the principal said it looked cool. Hair has always been a control issue in bible thumping communities, which I thankfully am no longer around.

From my experience:

Gently let your husband know that if his mom says something negative that he should not pass it along to you. What his mom said did not hurt you until he told you. That’s how I taught my kid not to spread gossip.

As for your mother in law, if she comments that something is messy, hand her a broom. That’s how I got my certified-clean-freak mom to stop making comments. “Vacuum’s in the closet” was another one, but she was my mom, not my MIL, so it wasn’t as hard for me. Sooo…have your husband do it. :)

Also non-cartel coyotes rest during the day. I lived in Nevada where coyotes are a given, but never in my life saw one during the day.

Holy shit. I had to turn it off. WTF.

My kid is learning to drive and I wanted to rent/get ahold of a manual to teach that too, but nothing doing. You can’t find one to rent and I’m not buying a whole car for a few weeks’ training.

I remember this! And not from the lemmy post. Thanks for the memory.

Say where it is out loud! That’s my stove trick–“THE STOVE IS OFF”. Yes, I have walked away from a lit burner before.

Gold. You have found gold.

…now on Lemmy

Por que no los dos?

All the ADHDers in here. :(

Same. Same.

Hand Blasters?

I never knew about these. I had to look them up. …and now I want them. It looks like you can still buy them online.

Yup, most of these are. I wish the slinkys were still metal.

They’re crazy fun, so they’ll never die. If it helps, I played on one in the early 1970’s.

And you had to boil the water before putting it in. I never saw one with moldy water, but I imagine someone somewhere did. Eww.

Hormonal fluctuations have been shown to affect symptoms. You* can talk to your doctor about a small bump up in meds for when you are most affected. I can’t remember if it’s just before a period or during that symptoms get worse. I recommend tracking your period and making notes of when it’s worse for you. Menopause is crazy for many reasons, but defo for ADHD.

*Anyone who has a period.

I know I do.

and it has Christoph Waltz

So far so welcoming/supportive. 👍
