To get back to the start of your post... I have to agree with you Gia!! Nothing better... :)



Well, turnabout is fair play, is it not? The ADD/ADHD thread was hijacked mightily (it's no easy task to keep and ADHD thread on topic for over two years), so I figured I'd make my post to this thread, seeing as how they're hijinks implicated the other thread. >:(

I was going to comment in the ADD thread about the inability to maintain focus as prevalent among sufferers but I thought it would add fuel to the fire instead of dampening it..

Exceedingly rarely am I bothered by hijacks. For some reason that thread is far more deeply personal to me and to many others who posted, possibly because of my lifelong battle with the condition and the sense of trivialization of it that the hijack caused. It's actually kind of a chronicle over the last two years of my having it under control, losing control and almost losing everything, to regaining control.

Someone posted a couple of hours ago about the relief of feeling like something could be done to stop a lifetime of frustration. I can understand that. It's honestly like being told, "You'll be able to walk like a normal person for the first time" with just a little treatment.

I don't expect those not affected by it to understand the absolute heartache and personal turmoil it can cause. But today's first post in it has really gotten me reflective.

No, I'm not offended. A little bothered, yes. This my explanation as to why. That thread is a pretty intense and fairly serious discussion containing some sheer and heartfelt candor, and I think the thread and other threads like it deserve some precautionary deference.

To answer the first question in this thread, yes. Others are posting. And now I've probably ruined a fun thread with some not-so-fun realities.

But we rarely read more than the first and last line of a post this size and gust wing a reply.;)

I've never tried Ritalin. I don't know.

I like "riddlin," like, "a guy walks into a bar and tells the bartender, 'I need your help.' The bartender fires a handgun over his head, and the mane thanks him and walks away. Why?"

I dated a girl named Lynn, and when I dumped her I guess you can say I got ridda Lynn. And I liked it.

So what have you tried?

Thank you for saying that.

I too was a bit dismayed by the hijack, especially since I just realized I'm a member of the ADD club. My relief at having realized what's been holding me back is overwhelming, and it's nice to know that there's a lovely little support group of sorts within this community (not coincidentally, based on the reading I've been doing.)


Back to your regularly scheduled postwhoring. ;)

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Thursdays are not good posting days for me... cause I'm in lab all morning and have seminar in the afternoon.

and I'm getting ready to take Karma for a run right now... cause the fact that Karma systematically went through my kitchen trash implies that she has too much energy... :|

No need for apologies. But apology accepted. I know there was nothing malicious about the turn the thread took. The level of frustration many of us with the condition feel is something that most others cannot really appreciate.

I still think you're a great gal, Gia.:)

Yes, fine. You're right. No spin the turtle. No rocket.
