October is also ADHD awareness month.Mental health is important and ADHD is close to our hearts. There is nothing wrong with being Neurodiverse  neurodiverse family/friends in a Neurotypical world can be incredibly challenging.*Terms such as “neurodiverse” and “neurodivergent” were introduced in the 1990s by autistic sociologist Judy Singer as an alternative to deficit-based language, such as “disorder.” Singer highlighted notable strengths of many individuals in the autistic population that include abilities to focus, recognize patterns, and remember factual information. A “neurodivergent” person refers to a person on the autism spectrum or, more generally, to someone whose brain processes information in a way that is not typical of most individuals. These people may have learning disabilities, attention deficit and anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Tourette’s syndrome. Through a neurodiversity lens, such conditions reflect different ways of being that are all normal human experiences.“Neurodiversity” is usually used to describe a group of neurodivergent individuals, it also refers to all of humankind because everyone has a unique way of processing information.Fall Mocktail Ginger Fizz3oz still apple cider1oz fresh lime juice6 mint leaves1tsp apple cider vinegarpinch powdered cinnamon3oz ginger aleClap mint leaves, and add to apple cider, fresh lime juice, apple cider vinegar, powdered cinnamon then shake over ice.

Have you been watching this HBO MAX series?  It is based on the action-adventure video game from 2013 by Naughty Dog. We admit we've never played the video games. However, our SPECIAL GUEST has.  In fact they're  the reason we anticipated this show coming out.Welcome Sophia Bowman, YES they are Tamantha's daughter and just happens to be a GAMER! Like the best and biggest  gamer of our children.  There are many reasons we enjoyed TLOU such as the  Diversity, LGBTQIA+ inclusion and the intense action story telling. Every episode hit a LOVE note and made us question what  would we do if we were in the story.Roni and I's pronouns are She/her/hers we kinda skipped over the pronoun introduction as we got right into our discussion with Sophia.  Thank you again Sophia for being our guest and expanding our knowledge on TLOU. Our cocktail is a Strawberry Fizz by BucketListTummy.comstrawberriesmint leavessugarcrushed icevodka (we used gin and Sophia went w/o the booze)club sodaproseccolime juicemuddler InstructionsSlice and smash or muddle strawberries in a cup or bowl. Add the mint leaves and sugar. Add ice, vodka, club soda, prosecco and lime juice to a cocktail mixer and shake. Garnish with strawberry slices and more mint. Enjoy!Note: For the episode I muddled fruit and mint in each glass. However, I didn't love mine during the recording of the episode. Was it the gin? or that I left out the LIME by accident. It's what happens when I'm focused on too many things at once i.e. family dinner, podcast set-up and not using recipe or note cards. I ended up re-making the cocktail after we were done recording w/vodka and exactly how recipe said to prepare. It was MAGNIFICENT! - T*We are NEW fans to the TLOU fandom.  referenced in this episodePODCASTHBO's The Last of UsRooster Teeth Always OpenARTICLESInverse.comPolygon.comLA TIMES (Bruce Stratley co-director of the original game)The Last of  Us theme written & performed by Gustavo SantaollallaOn the Nature of  Daylight The Blue Notebooks  Max RichterThe Last of Us video game by Naughty DogThe Last of Us series by HBO MaxSupport the showwww.FrolickingChronicles.comPatreon for exclusive contentYouTube Subscribe to our ChannelInstagram @FrolickingChronicles for updates & current events

Send us Fan MailYES! We finally got to explore and investigate a haunted ghost ship. Thank you to Rhonda and Elizabeth for asking us to join the crew.  It's located in San Diego, CA and we definitely had some activity.  This ship really brought us back to our early Coast Guard seaman days.  It also brings to life a lot of 20,000 leagues Under the Sea by Jules Vern vibes.  You should make a day trip at the very least to explore this maritime museum.  It is historic, grand and all together a sailor's dream.  It has been well kept under the watchful eye of Jim and his staff.For this episode any RUM drink will do.  We recorded this episode in room 216 of the Horton Grand hotel located in San Diego's Gas Lamp district just before checking out. So no cocktails for us, just a lot of water to stay hydrated.  As our valet said "Always get the LATE checkout." or was it "Happiness is a LATE checkout." We don't disagree, especially for an overnight stay and being up late ghost hunting around the hotel until 2 AM.So let's get right into it.  What did we hear? What did we see? Who were we with? If you like this episode consider joining our PATREON channel.  We have a bit more details and BTS for our patrons.Special THANKS!! to our impromptu guest hosts: Rob Hansen and Elizabeth Toller "Aunt Betsy".
