Where do you find this? I keep looking for it and not seeing it and I'm so curious!

I've read a book where a vampire had ADHD if that's helpful to the thought process?

Permanent on my laptop - 6, then plus as many AO3 tabs as seems necessary for good mental health! Phone - none permanent, currently 3 (2 AO3, 1 bus tracker).

if it helps I only solved it due to map usage and it's a place I've never heard of at all

a friend elseweb identified Mr. Blobby taxonomically as the cousin who no longer is invited to Gritty family picnics and YES. THAT IS IT. THAT NAILS IT. Mr. Blobby is the deranged-and-probably-ACTUALLY-a-serial-killer pastel goth of the mascots/monsters (sesame street).

Boosting again for people getting COVID vaccines (thank you for getting vaccinated!!) because my mentions are full of people finding it helpful. There is way more detail (and citations!) in the thread both up and down but this is the key info!

I remain so confused by this (though I know EDS/BHS are ... interesting disorders) because I have the opposite thing, I pre-warn if I'm doing day surgery that unless I'm an early morning time then they -will- be keeping me in overnight because it takes me forever to wake up

Possibly, but also I admit the only thing I know about Rent is that one song and that apparently the film is bad? I feel I should know more.

I'm so sad, I'll be in London early Oct and was planning on finangling my stay to be overnight on a Wednesday specifically to try and get a ticket to see him! But also I'm glad they did the acknowledgement, bless 'em.

Am amused by this - took it as a Brit with an RP-ish accent, apparently my accent is most similar to New York, Jersey City, and Yonkers which ... I'm not sure what I expected, but it wasn't that!

I have unlimited data as standard, but save about £20 per phone contract (currently three phones on my plan, so £60 saving per month is nothing to sniff at!)

I'm on EE because it gives me the best signal in my area, but I also get broadband from them and that reduces my phone bill significantly as a combo

Without doxxing I can't say specifically, but there's a colour and texture element as well that rubber roofing just wouldn't meet. But thank you, a few years ago when her roof needed doing I was trying to look into what would happen if we couldn't source the material and failing. Book will be good!

ngaio @ngaio.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
Interesting, thank you. We were lucky, my wife got the very last piece of correct roofing, but like I said, others weren't so lucky/made different decisions. In this case the roofing should be metal so the rubber is not correct but another form of metal roofing would be? Cool.

Also I should say I'm pro-listing, I'm just also aware of the challenges (and in this case the housing is some of the cheapest locally so people who live there often can't afford to choose to buy elsewhere instead)

But what happens then? Are listed buildings inspected periodically to make sure they're still correct? And what recourse does someone have if it proved impossible to repair with the right materials? (OK, sorry, apparently I did have questions!)

ngaio @ngaio.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
It's not really a question, but my wife lives in a house which is listed and requires specific building materials (roofing) and the single business that made it went bust but the roof still needed fixing so the leaks would stop. The house over the road just put a rubber roof on which is illegal.

I have just sprinted naked across the house because I meant to pack an emergency walking stick for my holiday but forgot and this reminded me. Levels of need change, using what you need when you need it is not only permissible but essential. And now I'm set in case my back fails me on holiday.

It's very weird going down a slight rabbit hole on Wikipedia to see references to something I have actual memories of making. Like there are people out there with boxes which were spray painted on my back step and have my handwriting on them and them being referred to as 'limited edition' is ... odd

I do have to say (and didn't want to say before cos I don't insult meds people are taking and grateful for) that the one time my wife was on that med she was a zombie for the entire time. She does overreact to meds, but if your mum has noticed I wonder if there was a gradual loss of 'bubble'?

Just before lockdown I panic bought a new laptop and didn't realise it only had 256GB of harddrive which was not enough space for pretty much anything once the operating system etc were in place - sometimes technology just betrays us!
