    ADHD is a curse, and yes, as one ages it is more difficult to hide it…..the best that you can hope for is that those around you will come to understand that you are ‘different’ but will still love and accept you nonetheless….if you have a Judas for a partner that makes it even tougher πŸ™

    Ah, the cruel joke that is ‘life’, eh? πŸ™

    Sorry to hear of your mother’s illness, and it must be devastating to have to come to terms with the situation…cherish each moment with her, and pray for a miracle. Why not? It won’t make her any more unwell to pray. Doctor’s have been wrong before, and the spirit is stronger than the flesh, no?

    Gee whiz, it’s bullshit like this that really bugs me. Our Governments are happy to squander gazillions of dollars on warmongering and space travel, but parsimonious with medical research to enhance our quality of life in comparison! My mum died suddenly 7 years ago and I still feel the ache in my heart from leaving so much unsaid….I hope that there is a happy outcome for you both…

    G’day, it is comforting and re-assuring to pop in here now and again and read of the struggles of others, an almost secret and guilty pleasure to be savoured whilst saying to oneself ‘see, I’m not the only one’….the robots will one day regret their relentless persecution of us when we eventually get around to doing whatever it is that we know we are gifted to do if we can ever be bothered to getting around to doing it….*yawn*….yeah, I’m going to bed!

    Very interesting! I’m not sure about the correlation between shitty school results and ADHD, but what would I know, eh? I’m a high school dropout distinguished and defined by a CV that would make a retard blush…currently unemployed, but as I’m now beginning to mature at the age of 47 I’m beginning to figure out what I’d like to be when I grow up: Unemployed! *smirk*

    Aha!

    G’day, it’s been a while since I popped in here! It’s always re-assuring to hear of the familiar challenges….so comforting to know that I’m not the only one that is crippled by procrastination…the boring robots that march around with their clipboards ought to pushed over cliffs and left to rust lol
    Hey, what happened to those little facey thingys? I love those things!

    Hiya Carry I’m not sure what drugs you’re on but I’d like some πŸ™‚

    What’s so bad about being lost anyway?

    What are you dribbling about?

    The only protest that I’d support would be to ban the burqa and the hijab!

    Hey, you’ll love this, Collingwood will demolish Carlton tonight…but I don’t care, because I support Geelong!

    There’s an election here in September, but as I’ve never voted I suppose I shouldn’t really care! πŸ™‚

    Um, yes, delighted to meet you Carry, I’m Spongebob Squarepants πŸ™‚

    Who’s James? G’day Carry! Kudos for stealing that little funny kanuk! It’d never be boring hanging out with her, middle of bloody Alaska or not! πŸ™‚ Yes, Alaska…Antarctica is down below Purgatory (Tasmania) you silly sausage πŸ™‚ Meh! No wonder your plans failed, you couldn’t get the name of the continent right! πŸ™‚

    Hey, are you one of the ‘insiders’ here? Is it worth the Kings ransom if you are?

    Tee hee Very droll! πŸ™‚

    I wasn’t being cheeky with the copyright thing incidentally, it just struck a note on my funny bone, that’s all πŸ™‚ Looked very formal and everything, and well, I’m a sworn enemy of formality, officialdom, and anything remotely related to clipboards…*makes a silly face*….

    I’ve never been a part of a poetry group or anything like that., I’ve never shared my poetry, let alone discussed poetry with anybody before. Well, once many years ago I used to meet with a chubby lesbian punk prostitute and we’d secretly and guiltily share our poems. A long story, and I won’t bore you with it… we were 17, and I fucked it up by getting drunk and arrested. I did have a mega crush on her, but we only held hands a few times….anyway, after I got blitzed, arrested, and subsequently hospitalised to get the scotch pumped out of my tumtum she must have seen that I was even more fucked up than her, and didn’t want to meet up with me anymore πŸ™ ….I think it was Wednesday arvo’s we used to meet, and every Wednesday for a while afterwards I felt a pang in my heart for what I’d lost… πŸ™ πŸ™ πŸ™ I’d get used to that feeling though pmsl!

    Okie dokie, the footy is on, so I’ll sign off for now! It’ll be fun doing the poetry stuff πŸ™‚ I’ll pop back over the next few days and finish this post…

    Great to see that ‘lil Carrie crazy face popping in throwing rainbows around! πŸ™‚

    Evelyn, I love your poetry! I’m just getting back into the habit of throwing down a line or two! I used to do a lot of poetry. I’d play around with one for a few days until I was satisfied that I couldn’t improve or enhance it, marinate in it for a short time, and then incinerate it….I’d be delighted to exchange poems with you as I churn ’em out! I don’t do the copyright thing though…I’d be flattered if anybody was willing to attach their name to any of my graffiti πŸ™‚

    *gulp* Phew, that was heavy going! It’s un-nerving and frightening to read about oneself with other names attached to the posts, no?….*sigh*….I wonder if there will ever be a panacea for ADHD? πŸ™

    Kudos to you ‘Keepingthefaith’ for being so supportive, accepting, and willing to work with him despite his ADHD! Even though he might not be showing it you, or even telling you, but you can be certain of his profound appreciation for all that you’ve done, and all that you are, for those with ADHD are intuitive if nothing else, well I am anyway so I’m presuming that he is too lol….I’m the last person to proffer an opinion on the perfect marriage for my wife and I have been on the crazy roller-coaster of marriage for 16 years, but we’re still married even if our relationship isn’t where it could or should be. Ah well, we all live in hope, and I too hope that one day I can say that my marriage is the best relationship that I’ve ever had before I disappear into the eternal ether… πŸ™‚

    Good luck with everything, and may he have the same zeal to understand ADHD as you! πŸ™‚
