Things an ADDer WOULD say…

[Galadriel724]

Quoted directly from an email to my shrink (who has been my loyal prescriber for 10 yrs and is awesome enough to use various forms of technology to keep treating me 2000 miles away).
“I know I mailed you that check. Because it’s not under the front seat of the car, where it was for 2 months. In fact I am almost entirely sure that I mailed it. But I might remember doing that because I procrastinated it so long that it just seems like it. Crap. I have no idea where it is.” It was on the way. Despite my pleading and offers to pay whatever service charge is involved, she has not switched to electronic payments. So I send her double payments, so that stuff is half as often….

Sounds like you’ve got a great therapist @Galadriel724 hmm. I copy n pasted your name cuz that’s easier than typing it. Looks like I may have discovered an “Easter Egg” type of feature here. Not really but my imagination sure does not ever quit!.

I found these quotes surfing around in my documents folder… Hope you guys like em. I bet I found them all in the same place on the net after surfing here, then clicking a link from someones post…

So the next time my wife points to all the junk I have in store, I’ll just say “Those are all my inventions that will make us rich . . . as soon as I have time to put them together.”

Following is a joke about what an ADDer might text.

A wife, being the romantic sort, sent her husband a text:

If you are sleeping, send me your dreams.

If you are laughing, send me your smile.

If you are eating, send me a bite.

If you are drinking send me a sip.

If you are crying, send me your tears.

I love you!

“I am on the commode. Please advise.”

I am SO glad I finally found this site. I’ve had a trying week with people who don’t appreciate my making jokes about my ADD (just too, too serious and uptight “normal” people).

sar316–I LOVE the TV example. I have so done that–and more than a few dozen times. In just the past month.

And Duffie — I snorted iced tea out of my nose at the eyes got stuck example.

Lots of funnies here…Thanks all.

“It’s a damn poor mind that can think of only one way to spell a word!” — Andrew Jackson

I remember the interesting alternative spelling that my Latin teacher showed us, one day, to demonstrate why English is such a hard language to learn phonetically:  ghoti

gh (as in “tough”)
o (as in “women”)
ti (as in “function)

Therefore ghoti is an alternative spelling for fish!
