Lol whoever planted them was probably a massive prankster, or had no idea @ArraDreaming. Unless they're native... Hmm I'm not sure 🤔

Ach, it do be like that ay. I have a display cabinet that I found in hard rubbish. It's pretty nice, solid dark wood, two glass displays - but the shelves were missing. Had to pile all the things I want to display at the bottom for now, and went out and bought some nice wood. I borrowed my mate's circular saw. Annnnnd the wood has been sitting in my shed for about 8 months now. My display shelves display nothing but messy piles 🙃

Saw a post actually about the 'hidden costs of ADHD' or something and holy smokes I nearly cried. Stuff like putting off going to the dentist costs you thousands when you realise you need like 5 fillings, or forgetting to pay bills or rego means you pay late fees or get pulled over and fined for driving an unregistered vehicle. All piles up you know? Solidarity man, it's a rough gig we got.

Oh yeah true, you know once I forgot to pay my rego and I was driving unregistered for 2 weeks once then the cops pulled me over oops
Sometimes when I have a conversation I say about 8 different topics in the one convo my family hate it @Jynx

[Jynx]

@ArraDreaming yes the tangents are wild! Like my train of thought makes sense to me, and the topics are interesting, so you better keep up! lol

[ArraDreaming]

Hahaha yeah sometimes I don’t even know whay I’m talking about myself @Jynx

[Jynx]

I feel that @ArraDreaming. You ever end up just kinda trailing off and never finishing a sentence cos you realised a) it doesn't make sense and b) you didn't actually know how you were going to finish the sentence anyway? 

😂

@Jynx imagine adhd and severe sleep deprivation, yeah that’s the cocktail I’m playing with at the moment 🤭

[ArraDreaming]

Absolutely @Jynx
I’m like huh where was I going with this and everyone else is like “we’re waiting for you to get to the point about the dog you mentioned 8 mins ago when you first started talking”

[Jynx]

@ArraDreaming oof, yep the sleep deprivation is gnarly. I often end up staying up waaaay too late because I got distracted by something and then oh woops it's 3am how did that happen?!

Bahaha oh mate I feeeeel that. Do you have any ADHD friends? Most of my mates are neurodiverse and it's super different when the other person not only can follow along, but is also going on tangents and bringing up random stuff all the time. 

[ArraDreaming]

I don’t really have any mates @Jynx
if this was real life though I’d 100% hang out with you
But that’s amazing.
i really struggled in school though as much as I laugh now it’s never always been this way like there is never always been little bits of positive so that’s kinda nice now I guess that I can laugh with other people about it @Jynx
