Thanks for stopping in, those are all on my bird bucket list so to speak! Someday i would love to get some ducks, how cute are they.

Ducks are so cute! But so messy! LOL

Those look great. I have had one of those but they were plastic. I much prefer the metal ones. They are more solid.


I tend to like using stress balls and things that can constantly keep my hands busy like these

They’re called bike chains, i love them.

I have one of those some place too. Yay ADHD, I totally forgot that:
1. I have it
2. Where I put it.

I have heard they can be! A friend of mine who owns many ducks said this “Give a duck a pool of water and the water will end up on the ground soon after.” I can only imagine the mess.

I got mine here. Luckily I can go TO the store and play with them in person since they're local.

I can relate to this! All my digital notes (like on my phone) are completely filled to the brim with only reminders of very “meaningless“ and goofy things. Here is a example of one.

”Fill the glass of water“
”Take a shower”
”Eat breakfast”
“Hang out with the chickens”


This is actually what caused me to become more aware that not everybody does things like this, for example, for simple everyday tasks as a few people have mentioned to me it and asked “Why do you write so many things down? Is your memory really bad or something?”

I’ll have to look into getting some! I love the weighted ones so much.

According to my mom, I am somewhere on the spectrum.

I believe I have ASD and possibly ADHD too. Whether I actually do or not I would still love to follow along with this thread!
