I'm following after reading all the crazy stories on that post about your house, I literally cannot breathe from laughing. You could make a fortune on a sitcom about your life.

I’m writing a book about the relentless nonsense that has been my life! If it gets turned into a show though, I want to be played by a nice Polish Frizzle:

Harpy Zen would be amazing for angst when you consider harpy myths. They steal your food while you eat and snatch up evil doers and cart them off to the Goddesses of Revenge called the Erinyes. They especially take those that kill their own family members.

oooHHHHHH no!!!!! maybe zen would be...the one who has defected...carts off the nearly slain to help them ; w ; or perhaps this could be a hanyatta fic hehe

Sell them? Make potions out of them? Sell the potions you make?

Heh.

So, I have multiples of several other kinds of house plants (spider plants, some different succulents) and I figure there’s a chance that I might someday get involved in a local house plant swap/exchange, so potentially any extra poinsettias could depart via that method.

HOWEVER most people treat them like disposable holiday decorations because getting them to rebloom takes some actual effort, and I wouldn’t want to sell/trade a plant that was likely to end up pitched out because “the holiday is over” you know?

So what I’m saying is I have essentially resigned myself to having a whole bunch of poinsettias.

Forever.

(They have quite lovely foliage even when they’re not blooming, so it’s not like they’re ugly 10-11 months out of the year but regardless I already have several orchids that are more “interesting” or “funky” to look at more than “beautiful” so whatever.)

You tub probably isn’t clean enough to store water in - either clean the hell out of it first or use it as a storage place for jugs of water.

jsyk yall the water you leave in the tub isn’t for drinking, it’s for flushing the toilet and hygiene purposes if the water gets shut off

Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes is the most textbook ADHD kid I've ever seen.

As a child I adored Calvin and Hobbes for so many reasons, so here’s a few of my own thoughts.

ADHD Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes!

Asks a lot of questions the adults around him weren’t prepared for, because he doesn’t think in the same ways as neurotypical kids.

Very active imagination.

Always in trouble with his teachers for his inattention and disruptive behavior

Copes with boredom and executive dysfunction by imagining himself into a scenario where the task he’s doing becomes both exciting and urgent. (Side note:  this is actually a really good tactic for dealing with boring things, I highly recommend it.)

Struggles with school work unless he turns it into a game.

Unless the rules of a game or assignment are laid out very, very clearly to him, he’ll fill in the gaps in creative ways - generally his gap-fills are common sense to him but the result is that he ends up completely missing the point of the task, and maybe even doing the exact opposite of the point.

He picks on the little girl (is it Susie? I think it’s Susie) not because he intends to be mean to her, but because the things he’s doing are funny to him and he doesn’t realize she hates it. Also, this is something of a feedback loop, because then she gets angry and causes some RSD and makes him not want to hang out with her.

That comic strip that circulates around tumblr sometimes, with Calvin hammering nails into the table and then his mom runs in and asks what he’s doing? That resonates with me so much. Maybe I’ve never put nails in the coffee table but there are definitely times when I’m doing something and then realize that I have no idea why.

ADHD people tend to have a younger mental age than neurotypical people (by about 3 years I think?). One of the results is a reluctance to give up comfort items like stuffed animals.

Calvin’s armies of snowmen show that he’s fully capable of focusing on a giant task and carrying it out flawlessly… but you’d never know it if you looked at his school work…

Any idea how to cleanse something that can't be put in water like leather?

I’d suggest air cleansing. Smoke is my other go-to, but I suspect that won’t work here since you don’t want the smell clinging to your item. Air cleansing can be done by hanging something in an open window (unless you’re concerned about sun damage), or by finding a nice windy spot and allowing it to flap vigorously in the breeze for a minute or so while you visualize clingy icky things being scoured away.

You can also cleanse with stones and crystals. Select something that will soak up the leftover unwanted energy in the item, place it upon said item (or vice versa depending on relative size), state your intentions (“With this rock, I remove all foulness/tainted energy/unwanted presence/etc”, whatever feels appropriate), and then leave it overnight. Discard or cleanse the stone or crystal afterward, using the appropriate method for the material.

I find cleansing with moonlight works too, if you have a window with a good clear view of the sky and you don’t mind waiting for a full moon to get the job done.

Hope this helps! :)

allthingshyper replied to your post:*briefly skims some news about the elections* Oh...

here comes another few years of going in circles

If what happens nationally (Republican-controlled Senate) is /just/ going in circles, I will consider that a positive outcome.
