Actually, Robbo, it’s Dharma. I only recognized that because I’m Buddhist. If you use Firefox to post, it will spell check for you as you type. On those eastern words, just throw an ‘h’ in there somewhere, and you’ll do just fine :o)

Actually, I’m just off a 12 hour shift and coming off my meds with the help of a couple roast beef sammies and a shot of Jack Daniels.

My only survival technique is habit/routine. When the bright and shiny (squirrel!) distracts me from the habit, I lock myself out without my keys, I end up at work without my pass card, or end up at the store in the checkout without my wallet.

Space cadet. Airhead. Flake. No, just got distracted.

Spent my youth hearing: “if only you would apply yourself” … “you’ll never be half the man your older brother was in this class” … “what’s wrong with you” … “are you listening to me” …

Also qualified for mensa at 16. Nine misdirected years in college. Countless jobs. Three marriages, though the last one survived 22 years, the only woman who could understand me died of leukemia. (When I saw Patrick’s wife on the ADD and Loving It movie, I thought of my wife. What a sweetie.)

I don’t do body language, I don’t understand subtle hints. I live about a full second behind everyone else. That’s my lot. I’m a single parent of three teens that are essentially of the same mold. One self-medicates. One goes to my psych with me. One refuses to admit she needs assistance. Every horizontal surface in the house has something stacked on it. I work to feed us. We survive, and are, for the most part, happy. We put the ‘fun’ in ‘dysfunctional’ …
