Um, I've been meaning to watch this one since last week ... Just got to it. ;-)

Yeah, distraction and detours all day are a constant threat to getting
things done. But then there are days when you just don't care ...

Yep, I recognize that one, but just to see the positive side of it my youngest 
was investigated for ADHD (and during the interviews they almost gave me the 
same diagnosis), but they found that he was simply a lot more intelligent than 
the rest of the children. He never needed to concentrate, so he never learned 
it. There are statistics indicating a correlation between (wrong) ADHD 
diagnosis and IQ. Give him a task he likes he can concentrate for hours, which 
is much better than giving him medication to make him more normal.

Seriously there is a lot of discussions about too medications for things that 
are simply normal deviations in human behavior.  Sometimes my wife think my 
distractions are charming, sometimes not (and sometimes she is worse), but I 
hope they don´t try to slow me down with medication. :-)

lol ... I suspect they just wouldn't have let him into the store, but
then who wouldn't let Mr Spock into a store wearing pajamas? After
all, he spent three years shooting television programs in his pajamas,
and those shows have been popular in syndication for forty years! :-)

Well of course this little vid has nothing to do with actual ADHD.. 
thats just the joke of it...


I do have mild ADHD - and, yes, given something I am intensely 
interested in nothing can distract me - or at least that was so when I

was younger.

But all of us of a certain age or older have experienced at least some 
version of what this film amusingly but accurately depicts.


No, I don't want any dope either :_)

It's interesting to watch the film. Living it you have all the same challenges 
tomorrow. At least those you run across in your tours of the domicile. 

And the day afterwards too.

Eventually, the bills are late, the remote is in the car, the plants die, which 
you don't notice because you still can't find you glasses.

But the car is clean, because you watered it!

Hey, I resemble that remark!

 From a sermon I heard: A pastor goes to visit an elderly parishioner. 
Mildred she says, you need to pay more attention to the hereafter! 
Pastor, she says, I think about the hereafter all the time. I go into the 
kitchen and I wonder, what am I here after? I go to my bedroom and I wonder, 
what am I here after? [etc.]

At the time I thought it was funny.
