    I have found when you get one of those deals where you have to press “1” for English then

    “1” for this

    “2” for that

    “3” to talk to an incompetent idiot who gives you an opportunity to explain the problem all over again to his boss

    “4” to listen to irrelevant information

    etc.

    etc.

    It’s takes less of my time to write a letter

    By the time I’m offered the “leave a message” option, I hang up and call back when I remember why I called in the first place.

    If you need ideas to keep the kids busy, check out

    http://www.damncoolpictures.com/2007/02/painted-cats.html

    or google painted cats and click on images. Then get a cat, your own, a neighbor’s, or one from the pound, then go buy some paint.

    Stand back. (Have plenty of bandaids on hand.)

    You’re just as welcome here as slop in a pigpen. I was tested a week ago Saturday and sawbones wrote out my very first prescription today. I’m 59.

    Good luck in school and otherwise.

    @Munchkin – my father was born and grew up in Liberty. He was the doctor in Dayton (where I was born and grew up) from about 1948-1980. He is 92, still lives in Dayton. I am outside of Chireno. If you like, I can be reached at preenabelle@gmail.com

    F: Waking up with ADD is like waking up in a zoo where all the animals run free.

    This may be the perfect recipe for ADD people.

    1. Cook A tenderloin filet in the skillet, about 4-5 min a side for 1″ thick.

    2. Take out filets and pour in about 1/2 cup cream and some blue cheese.

    3. Simmer to thicken and melt cheese.

    4. Put cream on meat.

    5. Eat

    It’s easy and its really good. It’s also easy … and it tastes good… and it’s not hard to make.

    How expensive is luminosity. I’d like to do something nice for my brain but don’t want to spend too much on it. After all, it’s the thought that counts.

    This is perhaps a really random ADD thought, but I read a book “Heaven is for Real” available from Amazon (you can get more info from the net) which I would recommend to anyone, dealing with losses or not. It’;s about a little boy and his story. If nothing else, it may distract you for a while.

    Google “adderall chest pains”. There is some information about side effects as well as posts from people experiencing the same.

    A year ago, my son was given a Test of Variables of Attention, TOVA, to check for ADHD. He was twenty years old. The test showed that he did indeed have a high degree of attention deficit. His counselor recommended a book “Delivered from Distraction” which I ordered from Amazon and began to read. Not only did I see him in the pages of the book, but also myself.

    So now I’m in this psychologist’s office about to take the TOVA. Basically, a black square within a white square is flashed on a computer screen for about half a second every two seconds. The black square will be placed either at the top or the bottom of the white square. If it’s on the top, I am to press a button. This goes on for twenty minutes.

    After a brief practice run of about a minute, the test starts and the psychologist leaves the office. “What’s that about?” I wonder. Flash, click, flash, flash, flash, click. … This isn’t hard. I sit for hours at home doing boring stuff on the computer for work, this should be no problem… Flash. I’m probably going to only screw up once or twice at this. Flash. Flash. Click. …Maybe it was stupid of me to come here for this…. Flash. Click. …The psychologist returns and sits down in a chair behind me. Flash. Flash… I hear him shuffling some papers…. Flash. Click. Perhaps he’s trying to distract me. Flash. Perhaps it’s part of the test. Click. …OOPS! I didn’t mean to do that. Flash. Flash. … Well, nobody can get them all correctly. … Flash. Click. …That’s better… I better try to pay attention… Flash. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Click… What time does that clock say?… Flash. Flash. I guess it doesn’t matter, I don’t know what time I started. Click. OOPS! Flash. Click. OOPS… Well, I am still doing pretty good, that can’t be more than four or maybe five… Flash. Flash. Click… Flash. Click. Flash. Click. Flash. Click. Flash. Click. Flash. … This must be the second part of the test… Flash. Click. Flash. Click. …I wonder how significant a quick response is… Click. OOPS. Flash. Click. Flash. Click. Flash. Click. …I guess James must have gotten really bored doing this test… Flash. Click. Flash. Click. … What did he get. 70?… Flash. Click. Flash. Click. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Flash. … I bet this next one will be a clicker…. Flash. Click. OOPS….Focus, this thing has to be over soon… Flash. Click. Flash. Click. …I wonder if the sequence is randomized to a predetermined statistical … Flash. Click. .. or if it’s the exact same sequence every time… Flash. Click. Flash. Click. …Maybe it’s the exact same each time… Flash. Click. …Otherwise it introduces unnecessary variables to the test… Flash. Click. Flash. Click. Flash. Click. Flash. Click. …

    Well, I glad that’s over. I think I did pretty good, CONSIDERING IT’S ONLY NINE O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING!

    I talk with the psychologist about Celtic music in which he has an interest, go back up front, and gobble down the amphetamines needed for the second part of the test. I sit and read, play with my phone, make a few calls. After an hour, I go back for the second test. I feel no effects from the drugs.

    I sit down. Flash. Flash. Flash. Click. …WOW… Flash. Flash. Flash. Flash. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Flash. Flash. Oops. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Flash. Click… Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Flash. Flash. Oops. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash Click. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Flash. Flash. Oops. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Flash. Click…. …. … Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Flash. Click. Flash. Click. IN THAT ORDER! FINISHED.

    Like father like son.

    I started using CC because my wife would always ask for me to mute the commercials. I am used to zoning out during the commercials so I would forget. Anyway, I have CC and sound on when I watch in our garage. As you point out, it can be easier to understand some of what is said by using CC.

    Sometimes, I’ll mute, read the CC, and play my concertina while I watch. Perhaps its a manifestation of the HD in ADHD.

    There is a free app “Dragon Dictation” for the iPhone powered by Dragon Naturally Speaking. You might check it out before spending money for computer software.
