Also Haizel does not care for double sided tape.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

Not complaining, but they did have a point regarding that post. It was more ADHD than ASD and there is actually an ADHD instance as well. Though nothing against LadyButterfly, shes doing a great job and hopefully she just ignores it. She seems to one of the handful of people keeping this community alive. You as well OP, keep it up.

As for the posting part. It's better if I won't post anything here. I'm incapable of posting wholesome or positive things and would bring the whole mood down. My perspective is just too corrupted and obsessed for postive or general content.

I went to a festival and got a delicious lunch from one of the vendors. Thankfully there was a nice breeze the whole time which made the hot weather tolerable. For once the crazy price festival food was worth it!

Any picture of Hazel and her tape misadventures?
