Am I the only one who thinks that more people have ADHD because screens at young age are affecting brain development but also that society (ie school) is designed for those without ADHD? I feel like my 3 ADHD kids are trying to mold themselves into something they’re not meant 2 b

But I guess I am supposed to be grateful bec they’re replacing the order that NEVER ARRIVED for free. Um, yeah, of course you did. It’s literally the LEAST you can do when the order doesn’t arrive. Next time, listen to your customer and cancel and refund instead @prosehair (2/2)

[Jillena OBrien @Jillenabean]

Thanks, @prosehair for NOT listening to your customer. Received email for order I didn’t want in Dec. Haven’t received at end of Jan. Asked to please to cancel and refund since I’ve canceled my subscription. So naturally, they sent replacement instead (1/2).

20th wedding anniversary is China (traditional) or platinum (modern) so naturally my husband got me . . . A paint sprayer? Hmmm. Romantic 😆. Flowers? Expensive jewelry? How can that compare to a shiny new tool? #20thweddinganniversary #beenmarried20years #wentbylikethat

(2/2) Plus, no one understands me when I’m gargling mouthwash and I can’t wait a whole minute for people to know what I need to say!

(1/2) I think that basic sign language should be a universal thing. Why? Because everyone at some point in their lives will be hard if hearing. If signing is a normal part of society, we can communicate with those who are hard of hearing along with those who are deaf.

Can anyone tell me why #disneyland has drinking fountains available but doesn’t have water bottle filling stations because of COVID? Doesn’t seem logical to me. #covidrules #dontalwaysmakesense

@Harry_Styles are you @MirandaSings’s long lost twin? You have the same style—red pants, light button up shirt.

Do you have a child with #ODD and #ADHD who hates the world? Try the supplement #GABA. My 13yo son started taking it a few days ago and it’s been a #lifechanger. I mean, granted, it has only been 3 days, but he wakes up happy and comes home happy. And he’s enjoying socializing!

@wr1terflo I haven't been in school for about 16 years, so I doubt I'll need it. 😂 Thanks, though! 😊

Finding out the tax deadline has been pushed back a month is like having a 20-page paper due tomorrow, which you haven't started and then finding out that the teacher won the lottery, gave everyone A's and is now in the Bahamas. Phew! #wasntready #thankfulforgoogle

The audacity of kids today. Can you imagine if, when I was a kid, I’d gone up to my mom and asked, “Mom, Can I play on your phone?”? She would’ve looked at me like I was nuts! #momjokes #imhilarious
