I love clouds too :wink:….hmmm, yeah the simplest things confound me too. I never did figure out how to record things with a VCR, but you mightn’t remember those relics of a bygone era…good luck with your new job tomorrow. I too might be working tomorrow which I’m dreading in a way, but looking forward to as well: it gets me out of the firing line of my belligerent wife. When she asked me an hour or so ago why I wanted to marry her I told her that I thought that she was what I deserved for cheating on my previous girlfriends: a stripper with as chequered a past as mine. It got worse though. She thinks that I despise her for that lurid stuff, but I told her what it was about her that I did despise: her lack of heart, her shallowness of character, and her lack of spine. Adversity has been a companion of mine from the time that I arived here, and when crap comes my way I just get on with things without capitulating to self-pity. If there’s all hell breaking loose around me I’ll just calmly pick my way through the minefield, whereas she’s prone to feigning cardiac arrrest and too scared to step into ‘no man’s land’. Just another day in the Wallace melodrama….*yawn*…’somebody put the kettle on, pretty please’….I think that my drought will be extended for at least another night… 😆

😆 It always seems funnier reading about this stuff in other people, but not so amusing when reflecting upon self, eh?

I don’t know how to put an av in next to my name, and anyway, what was uttered yesterday is rendered redundant by today’s thought of the moment, no?

Thanks, but I don’t know anymore, and quite frankly, don’t care. I think… 😆 We have kids, and the thought of tearing their world apart is what keeps me in the house. I had no dad growing up and know what’s it like….my mum used to say that it was mainly my fault too that my dad did anything but stay home too lol. If nothing else it was drummed into me from a very young age that all of the problems within a 100 mile radius of me had my fingerprints on them! 😆 Life is a bitch and then we die, eh? Only time will tell how this melodrama plays out…my wife is sure frustrated with me. She just told me today that for years she has to tell me things over and over again, and I still don’t seem to hear her. I dunno about that, I reckon that she thinks that she tells me stuff….

Hmmm, good luck is all that I can offer. My marriage has been tenuous since it commenced 15 years ago, and we’re getting to the stage where it seems that it’s only a matter of time before we start burning effigies of one another 😆 If she was in Buenos Aries, and I was in Dundee, we still wouldn’t be far enough away from one another! I feel destined to always be alone, and if we didn’t have kids I’d have slipped out the back door and run away before our first week of marriage had lapsed…

G’day Robbo, oh these incidents happened in the late 80’s so I’m sure that I’d be a pile of skeletal remains under an old rope by now if the cars had been used by miscreants …..interestingly, the first car that I’d abandoned had an amusing postscript. One day I was at work and a bore with a suit and a tidy moustache was led to to me by my boss, and he said that I owed several thousand dollars in fees where the car had been impounded. God only knows how he tracked me down, but he did! He must have wanted that car pretty badly! After I told him that he could kiss my arse he said that if I signed the car to him he’d make the fines disappear, and give me a couple of hundred bucks! His money was in my pocket before the ink had dried on the papers…. 😆

Well, first of all thanks for not telling me to make sure that the door’s closed on my way out ….oh and I have two email addy’s: harlequinwallace@gmail.com and luvtadream@yahoo.com.au if anybody feels inclined to drop me a line or two….

I’m literally just beginning this trip to discover what ADHD is all about. Even I have reached the point of being utterly fed up with my chronic procrastination, irresponsibility, magnetic attraction to trouble, perceived aloofness, ability to upset other people, and they’re just my good points! Just kidding, obviously there are more but it becomes tedious repeating them ad nauseum. I have never had motivation or ambition either. Why? I don’t know, but I’d like to know, and I’d like to be able to rectify all of my shortcomings…gawd, where does one start????? I have a form of ‘paralysis’ for I just seem to sit around and think too much without ever actually doing very much. Doing nothing if I’m honest. I can’t stand it anymore, or justify it to myself. Even though I’m often told how useless and spazzy I am, I know that deep down I’m not half as stupid as people think I am….even though I was a high school dropout, when I was in my mid 30’s I sat a test to get into University. My wife had a friend at the time who was preparing for the test as well and as she did a lot of prepatory study, including a semester of refresher studies, the look in her eyes blazed with cruel triumphant malice when I said that I’d just take my chances on the day as she anticipated yet another glorious failure for the source of her friend’s (my wife) perpetual miseries….when I got my results I didn’t have to wait very long to see her friend hoping to rub my nose in her success, but my oh my, wouldn’t you know it, I not only got a much better overall mark than her without any prepatory work, I got into the top 5% for English which was her proclaimed strength! I resisted the temptation to gloat or thump my chest, and actually felt sorry for her as she couldn’t conceal her shock. She even demanded to see the piece of paper for herself in case I was lying! She was crestfallen as she’d been well and truly gazzumped by a village idiot…. 😆

Greetings and salutations people! Do many people come here? I know that I’ve got a bit carried away posting too much, and might have scared people away, but I’ve felt like I’m talking to myself a bit here. Is it worth hanging around?

Hiya Slowly, it’s an old thread I know, but I’d be interested to hear how things are going for you now…I’m older than you and unemployed by the way. It has been suggested that I’m unemployable due to my chronic procrastination and my inability to do anything right. I have a knack for fucking up the unfuckable, and even though I only aim low and go for the shitty menial jobs, I still stuff them up somehow. One day if I can be bothered I’ll discuss the time I could have killed myself whilst working at a chemical plant. All I had to do was wear safety equipment and transfer sulphuric acid from a high powered hose into about 20 large barrels….if anybody had been around that day and saw the stupidity that unfolded they would have killed me if I’d survived what eventuated. It was a miracle….gawd, just remembered another miracle. I was driving on a highway and gazing out of the window at some lambs jumping around and didn’t notice that the cars ahead had stopped. I had the radio on full blast and wasn’t wearing a seatbelt either…I only had to time to scream and by taking my hands of the gear stick and sterring wheel I covered my eyes and braced myself for a bad start to the day. Somehow the car jacknifed and I didn’t hit any other cars on the four lanes! Perhaps I’ll start a ‘miracles’ thread. There are many, many more…I had a gun pulled on me in a nightclub and I stunned the bloke by thumbing my nose at him and pretending to tiptoe cartoonlike to hide under a table. Then I winked and made a spazzy face. before breaking out some silly dance moves…this guy just didn’t know what to do 😆 I just pretended that nothing happened and then avoided that corner of the club for an hour or so… 💡

Has anybody ever just abandoned a car before? I’ve done it a few times…I have no mechanical skill at all and after I’d paid a fair bit of dough for a part to be replaced on a car twice I swore that if it broke down again, I would leave the piece of snot wherever it conked out. It happened again, and the thing was just left on the side of a suburban street. Another time I had a car with a faulty fuel gauge, and got so sick of it running out of fuel, that on one occasion I just left the piece of crap on the side of the road as well with the fuel cap left open as a clue to anybody that might have wanted it….

Is it a common trait for those with ADHD to have few friends? I certainly don’t have a busy social life, hell, I don’t have one at all, what am I talking about? 😆 I don’t do well with social gatherings either as I’m not only introverted, but if spoken to I’ll either scare somebody away by saying something stupid, or see their eyes widen as I unload a torrent of jibberish…plus, I can be a bit intense at times which scares people. The older I get the more socially inept I become! I don’t understand it…

I think that the anything with a ‘cost’ attached to it is vulgar and crass. It cannot be quantified surely?

Oh, there’s too many friends that have been neglected for so long that I shan’t bother…I just don’t want to keep repeating the pattern. They say that kids can grow out of ADD, is there any hope of adults growing out of ADHD?
