@bioshock:
Same, although I have to be careful cause my "bad days" can be pretty often sometimes, since I dont get a lot of downtime where I'm not having a lot of work to do. Then I end up having 2 sodas a day without paying attention to how frequently, then I start craving moreeeeee

So now I try not to drink them daily. xD

@pachi:
0.4 ml = 400 mg
If I manage to stop drinking sodas for about 2 weeks straight, I stop craving it! But its always around me, everywhere, cause this is america
Then one day I'll have a suuuper bad day and I'll just throw my hands up like, fuck it! I dont drink alcohol so soda is the one for me lmao

@kegs:
lmao thats awesome! Ive never tried making my own. Dont think I need that kind of encouragement in my life xd
But it seems to be a pretty big thing here, I see others doing it a lot

@priestess of pie:
restaurants are how I broke my no-soda records almost every time. That and fast food. You dont think about it being a soda until its in your hand and you've already drank half of it. Such a bad, engraved habit.

I thought sucralose was also pretty bad for you? I might have my information jumbled up haha

"“If you drink those beverages in low amounts — less than 400 milligrams — that's probably OK,” Dr. Rosian says. “That means less than four cups of coffee per day might be fine, and less than two cans of cola a day"

It doesn't matter what the source is for this quote
because it justifies me breaking my no-soda/no-caffeine diet for the 4th time in 6 months
:vanora_xd:

-chugs mnt dew-
my job sucks too much to quit soda right now

@celeste:
Oh, I would love that! I only have 2k volts at the minute but I'd be happy to send them to you ;v;
sorry for the late response, work and sleep calls

@goblin:
oooo it does look much better on my avi than the current colors!
I might have to get it in the meantime, and then make something for a suggestion thread too <3
Thank you!

Take a look at my avi

I love this tail, its one of the first items I loved, but the colors just dont match. Besides the yellow which just makes it close enough that I try to use it anyway and pretend it goes with.
But I'm always coloring it to match my hair


Is there a tail that is floofy and matches this color scheme already, or should I edit a good example and toss it into a suggestion thread?
I'm assuming the latter but didn't wanna look silly if it actually does exist, I just dunno how to find it :vanora_xd:

@bonnie:
I want to talk about as much as I can, I have 4 pages to vomit information onto. But having ADHD makes it hard af to organize the subject lmaocries
I wanna touch on the common associations with it, and explain how they truly relate. I definitely want more emphasis on how adults live with it, based on studies more than personal experiences. Since I'm always learning new things about it too and it seems like adult ADHD is the most misunderstood.

If this were longer, I'd cover anxiety, depression and autism too. But I'll probably just brief over where these all link together sometiems <3 cause its also important af to know that.

Maybe getting food will help me think clearer ;D

@bonnie:
Yes! ADHD hits close to home, but a lot of people act weird if I say I have it cause there's such a weird misunderstanding about it. Its treated like a myth and an excuse for making certain mistakes. ILL TELL EM.

Lmao olive garden always comes with leftovers. I usually only finish half my plate if I'm lucky!

gasp
I just wrote a rant about adhd
I should make my report about that!
Even though I'm a page into endometriosis already. ovaries and junk are boring

@bonnie:
Oh man, my gift card is burning a hole in my pocket now lol That sounds so good.
I should be writing my reports, not thinking of food! :vanora_xd:

I'm currently taking a class about pathologies. Its for massage therapy so its a lot more brief than it would be for like, medical school or whatever. But this week we're on a chapter that talks about mental disorders. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder was the first that came up, and voila -- I have that.

ADHD is a very over-diagnosed disorder and a lot of people think its even just a myth, or an excuse, which was surprisingly also mentioned in the class. So I've learned to be very choosey about whom I talk to about it and to some people. I can't even mention it to my family, even though my mother was there was I was diagnosed, because she's crazy and forgets everything. To her, I've had every mental disorder, but I also have none at all :vanora_xd:

ANyways, it normally doesn't bug me at all. I learn to live with it, I'm a grown arse adult. BUT ADHD is no less ADHD, and it especially comes forth when I am in a job or academic scenario. I fumble so much and people get angry with me over things that I swear upon anything, I can't help it. I am constantly trying so hard to keep up with tasks and minor things. But I can't explain it to them. So they'll think I'm just a moron. I'll forget things I need, I fail to absorb a lot of information, and if there's too much going on inside or outside of my head, I absorb absolutely nothing. I have to do a lot of extra studying and some days I just cant. at all. Caffeine is my only saving grace lol

One of the things I piss myself off with the MOST is when I accidentally skip a page or two in a TEST. Like I know I look tests over several times, during and after filling them out. I'm sure pages can stick together but sometimes I just see the pages, imagine they're finished, and can't notice they aren't cause my brain clocks out for half a second. Or recently I had a take-home test that I decided to go with advice someone gave me (unrelated) to answer what I know first, then go back. BIG MISTAKE. Once the last page is spotted, this mofo mentally completes the test, glances over derpily and tries to turn it in. My instructor was pretty mean about it, and I had only 5 minutes to fill out a page and a half T____T
I didn't do well on that one.

Anyway, this pathology chapter about it is a pretty good briefing of what ADHD is, but it also very much emphasizes the stereotypical associations with ADD/ADHD that dont.. always.. exist. And a lot of times it talks about things make it sound like a person with ADHD is entirely, uncontrollably impulsive with no sense of logic in a situation. Like, "climbing and running around in a situation where it is only appropriate to be sitting"
Okay man, kids will do this, and I admittedly used to. But when my classmates and instructor are reading these things, they start attributing it as things that ALL ADHD PEOPLE ARE LIKE THIS, SO ITS HARD TO MASSAGE THEM

WOT

"They can't lay on a table for a full 60 minutes so they might need shorter sessions"

wot

The textbook suggests some people may be "uncomfortable" sitting still for so long, and it explains it very well, but my class reiterates it so... wrongly. And I really don't know why I care, since it really doesn't apply to me. But it annoys me so much. The issue I am not allowed to speak about is because people can't seem to comprehend it, and they tell me I'm wrong because I'm not some exaggeratedly impulsive nutcase. A lot of those cases are with small children, but now that I'm old, I no longer am allowed to have ADHD. Even when the correct information is right in front of their faces.


Idk, maybe I should stop thinking about it xd

@erebus:
exactly! :vanora_xd:
Plus, 30" is bigger than the size of a 3DS screen, so animal crossing is gonna make my tv feel good about itself lol

@bonnie:
OH
I have an olive garden gift card. Thanks for reminding me :vanora_xd:
I usually get their lasagna fritta, they're pretty tasty.

@erebus:
Lmao right?? My tv is pretty small (30" I think) and I try very hard not to notice.
Like if anyone says anything, shhhhh dont hurt its feelings, its a 60" on the inside!

@bonnie:
Dude, always enchiladas :vanora_xd: That seems to be the most common thing I eat when I go out with someone.

@erebus:
Yeah for sure! I could barely stand playing modern MMO's on pc with my last monitor, it was something smaller than 20" lol
im too spoiled since becoming adult

@bonnie:
I can understand that. I value my alone time a lot, so eating alone can be fun for me haha I used to take myself on dates all the time when I was single, and I actually preferred it over dates with others for a while. I've done it once since being with my bf, but then I invited him to join me anyways lmao Its fun to share the flavors with others.

@erebus:
Oh man, runescape. I keep thinking I want to play it again but I dont know why lmao
if mobile controls are all on screen dpad things though, I cant bother
