Reply To: Can a person with ADD/ADHD start a group for ADDers.

@Evelyn, we joke all the time about not being able to stay on target.

If you saw the meanderings through the Private Message thread about “That little yellow badge on your photo”, you wouldn’t believe it.

It began as just a note from @Rick, telling us Beta-Premium Members about the yellow badge in the corner of our avatars.  This led to a discussion of the significance of the “big golden P in the corner”, and you can imagine what sort of riffing that led to…

The rest of the thread meanders through:  “Kibbles & Bits”, celebrity on the subway (being recognized by Transit Security does NOT mean you’re famous), Canadian vs. U.S. football, Rick’s early comedy work (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=frantics+comedy&oq=frantics+comedy&gs_l=youtube.3), the Ikea monkey, Ikea assembly “disasters”, the webinar for new members, the making of the “Adventures With Bill” segments on “The Red Green Show” (http://www.youtube.com/user/TheRich227/videos?query=adventures+with+bill), one member’s involvement with the famous mattress commercial in which Richard Simmons gets flattened by a bowling ball, how we can spread the word through social media, who does the memes (Rick’s daughter), estimating how many new Premium Members we’d have by a certain time ( @Fabulous won.), the fact that the internet is for cats…and porn (though not together, as there are laws against that sort of thing),  some very silly pun-laden riffing on the idea of cats & porn (“Kitty porn arouses strong felines”, “Puss in Boobs”…), people coming back to the thread & discovering heaps of messages, yoga pants (low-rise is bad; Flexees control-top is good), a very funny children’s book called “Pants Off First”, discussion of the upcoming “Procrastination” webinars, showtune philosophy, nudging Rick to do the bloodwork he foolishly admitted to us that he’d been putting off for a long time, discussion of the upcoming 2nd “Procrastination” webinar (so much information that it could be a 12-week course), and the observation that stuff expands to fill however big a handbag you have.

Nope, ADD’ers sure CAN’T stay on target!  (But we do take some mighty interesting journeys!)
