> They're like 305' (ft.)elevation. With that kind of elevation I would never expect it to get really cold.

Metro Buffalo sits at about 600'. Around Christmas I had snowdrifts over my 6' fence.

That would be The Clinton Street Theater, which has been showing it non-stop for longer than any other theater in the country. It has been showing there since 1978. At one point there was a place in New York that had been showing it longer, but they moved locations at some point, so there was some question about if their run was unbroken or not. I also don't know if that theater showed it during lockdown. So, to my knowledge, Clinton Street is the longest running RHPS in the world.

I'm turning 40 this year so it was the 80s/90s. It wasn't really prevalent in my school or they just kept it more secret. I didn't know any peers that were on medication for it.

My mom's friend was a teacher and her son that I babysat has ADHD and took meds but that's really the extent. I worked at a daycare and didn't have to provide or monitor meds, no parents clued me in that their kid had anything other than allergies.

I just know that yes, the diagnostic criteria wasn't great. It's been documented that it presents differently in females so the rate of adult diagnosis is much higher bc it was missed so much when we were kids. It's not just hyperactivity and not everyone's "flavor" as I call it includes every symptom. I got decent grades bc my anxiety over consequences forced me to find coping skills to make sure I got it done. It didn't always work and I'd just completely forget about an assignment. I also only finished 1 book reading assignment ever. Studying for tests was just memorizing information to pass the test. The deadline motivation 👋✅, distractibility ✅, communication problems (interrupting, tangents on tangents, forgetting halfway through a thought) ✅, can't focus vs hyperfocus ✅... basically once I learned the typical symptoms it was very clear to me they'd been there all along and I feel cheated a bit that I had to go through so much and struggle when it wasn't necessary.

Now I'm no statistician (thank god), but I wonder if it might have less to do with any of those factors on their own than with the very fact that there are multiple factors that could potentially result in you being more likely to die around your birthday.

I hate that song. Sundays are arguably the worst day, solely due to Monday starting off the 40 hours of soul crushing corporate nonsense that a lot of us have to do.
