Re: Frustated with having ADD

I’ve got that book and author scribbled down for a bit of a look later. Thanks for the tip freakchik. Your comments are interesting re the source of much of the fighting. It’s as if we’re on a completely different frequency: she’s on the FM band, and I’m on the AM band, and most of the time we simply fail to comprehend one another…she can often become enraged with me, and perhaps justifiably so, but her perceived grievances are only exacerbated when I become ‘aloof’, and elect to disengage by going online for some scrabble, just to defuse the likelihood of further futile bickering. I enjoy a robust debate as much as anybody, but have never grasped how candour mutates into rancour on her part so quickly. On the rare occasion when we communicate without me having to look for a bunker to dive into, if I’m asked what I think about something, and proffer said thoughts, I’m often left bewildered if she gets the look of jihadi suicide bomber in her eyes I’ll just make a strategic retreat before I become a homicide statistic! I appreciate clarity in the message, even if it ‘stings’, but I don’t dwell on it. Next! Her, however, will have the latest list of my verbal infractions nailed to her eyelids as a ‘red rag’ to charge the feckless, tactless, useless scarecrow yet again. Yeah, the scarecrow that in her mind is The Grand Emperor of Crows, often times indiscernible from the seething mass of black feathers, and caw caw cawing…. 😆
