Hey everyone, I'm a pretty experienced keeper of Indian stick insects but recently I've come across a problem I can't explain and hoped someone might have experience of it and how they stopped it. For a bit of background there's a spider named oh long Johnson that lives on the windowsill near where the stick enclosure is and the enclosure is watertight, I also moved their enclosure to a completely different room to change them since my eyes aren't what they used to be and I need better light to do it. Today I went to check on how oh long Johnson is doing and noticed one of the sticks had got caught up in his web, she's totally fine and just a bit hungry, I doubt long John even noticed her and she would have been much too big to do anything about but I can't understand how she escaped the enclosure. Can adult Indian sticks crush and dislocate their bodies like hamsters do to escape cages? I've never seen it happen in 30+ years of keeping them so my only other theory is that she was still stuck onto me after changing their food and cleaning them out and fell off when I closed them up.

Hey all, despite the algorithm I'm not asking about a spell but it's come to my attention lately that I probably have a high likelihood of having ADHD and probably quite severe symptoms which frankly explains a lot about who I am as a person. I'm personally surprised because if someone showed me their symptoms I'd probably feel like they should get checked but I can't see it in myself. I was wondering if anyone else has the experience of spellwork with ADHD and more specific to me are there any witches here who were diagnosed late in life and how did that change the way they practiced. I know this is something I have to go through now because it's part of understanding who I am and why I'm the way I am but I want to know if people have found things better spiritually once all of the "noise" in their head was quieter.

I should probably mention that I'm not afraid of being treated because finding that quiet is something I've aspired to for at least 20 years now and apparently I've been my own worst enemy with it so nothing said here will sway me not to try treatment, I'd just like to know how it affects the way you practice good or bad. Thanks for any replies 🤙

Hi all, this is a bit of a follow up to a previous post. I have my first appointment for donating a kidney in 2 weeks and I'm quite well read up on the surgical procedure by now, I could probably perform it myself at this point with all the research I've put in but I wonder if anyone could clue me into what happens at this appointment. I know I have to have a chest X-ray on the day to check if I have sufficient cardiovascular capacity to give the organ which shouldn't be a problem unless something totally unexpected turns up and I know theres more radiological tests but I haven't been told I'll have them on the day and one is an imaging test to actually locate the kidneys which I think is an MRI but I doubt they'd do that until they know they're actually taking one would they?

Another thing that I want to know is questions I should ask. Does anyone have any advice on what I should be asking about the process? I have a medical background so I'm not unfamiliar with surgical procedures but obviously I'm on the other side of the table this time so it's worth going in with some preplanned questions in my opinion. Any help is appreciated 🤙
