“The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it is taking place”
I wish I could remember who said that… That’s part of the fun with a chat room. The misunderstandings are funny with folks like us who have had to develop excellent senses of humor. huh?
So a chat room or what gang? I say we go for it. It would be an excellent exercise in self restraint, learning to be less impulsive, and most of all fun!. So many of us have witty lines just waiting to be punched into a chat room screen. Huh?
I’ve only participated in about 3 chat rooms, in 15 years. w/people I had a lot in common with, always fun, er… mostly. I looked at it kinda like a talk show. Lot’s of folks just watch the chat, some talk a lot, some a lil. I’m sure it would be a good learning experience if anything else.
Ya think? I’m thinking positive. Sure we’d have to be careful. But we would have each-other and our interest in each other to keep us from talking about ourselves too much. A place to self regulate and also kid with each other in “ADHD language” that the other 96% of the population won’t/can’t understand.
Every thread is a chat room in slow motion if ya think about it, right?. Yep, huh? dang rite scooby! ***Grin*** Imagine the clownin around and fun ADD jokes only we get?
I hope this finally happens here. I’d be stoked.

PS, this jus popped into my idea machine (brain); we could have time limits, and/or number of words limits. It would be not only fun, but a place to refine our ability to enjoy the strengths of ADD/ADHD and lessen the struggles. Not easy code to write, but heck. Ya got adds all over and the dough from them will help pay for the labor. We also have some excellent webmaster talent among the membership here. I bet they could help out some. Yep, I’m sure they would. Cuz that’s the ADHD way. Help out our common soul surfers in cyberspace.
