Re: [MBZ] Was ADHD Now Time
So, I am assuming that this is something to do with the change back to standard time from daylight saving time, as I note a response at 9:50 to a message I sent at 10:37. Anyone else experiencing this sort of thing today?

The result is that one of my son's has managed to learn by himself - he has a Master's Degree now - and the other is never going to win any spelling bees etc. The younger one was quite happy not to have to worry about things like spelling and at the age of 22, still does not do well in that regard.

I love waking up to daylight but also coming home in the daylight. In a best of all possible worlds, we would set the clocks back AND end work an hour earlier so as not to suffer from the darker afternoons..

During 24-hour daylight in Greenland, I had to blackout my bedroom windows with draperies and a blanket to make myself think it was dark outside.
