I have ADHD and a cow fell on top of me when I was 6 years old

Grudge-holding Treefrog (Submission author) 2 years ago (edited)
I was standing next to her petting her when she saw one of the draft horses out of the corner of her eye and spooked. She slipped in the mud trying to see what it was and fell on me. There was so much mud and I was still a rubber child so I didn’t have any major injuries. She was my moms milk cow and she was the sweetest cow. She felt really bad about it too

It sounds like you have fragrance hypersensitivity and allergies to some synthetic fragrances or even herbal ones. Research carefully what the products you can use contain so that you can better define what you cannot tolerate. I suffer from this myself and the most recent example was when I came to the stairwell of our apartment building and a really strong smell of laundry detergent came up from the basement laundry room. I was still sneezing at home and when I have to dry the sheets downstairs, I put them outside to air out and even then I wake up with a stuffy nose and itchy eyes. I am apparently condemned to use allergy medicine all year round. It would be heavenly if scented detergents were banned in the shared laundry room of our apartment building. Sorry for the long opening, but if you have any questions about scent sensitivity, I'd be happy to answer them!

Same. I once drew out the layout - both stories - of a house I hadn't seen since I was 5. The only thing I got wrong was one closet and I just had it on the wrong wall, it was across from where I had put it. I have to say it's a pretty useful skill. though mine isn't 100% perfect but it's close. I average 98%.

I am a trained painter and bookbinder. I can imitate different types of wood, gilding, decorative painting and even imitating marble etc. I can bind books by hand without machines. It's a useless skill these days, though. Of course, necessary for repairing old books that require a gentle hand. For example, in books after the Second World War, there was clearly a shortage of good glue in Finland, and to remove the glue, you mainly need surgical tools and fine sandpaper, one folded page at a time from the back. The glue resembled solidified caramel.

I have a lot of knowledge about Mummies and I'm still learning about more cultures that had mummies every day. I have to reign myself in because a lot of people think they're creepy. On the same note while I know a lot about Egyptian mummies - I know more about other mummies around the world. I feel like Egypt gets all the mummy hype and there's just so many out there. I haven't kept up on the Egypt side of things so a lot of my knowledge is older information. I have a lot of random knowledge in my head and will always warn people to double check me cause some of it is older stuff. I have such varied interests and research so much random stuff that I've got a lot rattling around in my brain. Researching is one of my hyper focuses that is a hobby of mine. I will start up looking up some information on a recent(ish - 2019) sacrificial site found in Peru - and some how wind up reading some research paper on the origin of Garden Gnomes, before bouncing off to the real story behind the raft of the medusa then reading a scientific study done on a specific genome to CRISPR technology and some work they're doing that I'm keeping an eye on. So yeah....it's pretty varied. Side note: I'm cautious about CRISPR. I see what they want to do but I have concerns.

I don't read a lot of horror, but I've read a few books by Mary Downing Hahn. All of her books are horror with a sad/dark twist. My favorites are 'Deep and Dark and Dangerous,' 'One for Sorrow,' and 'The Girl in the Locked Room.' I really like them because there's no clear 'villain,' the antagonist is always a victim of circumstance.
