What specifically do you have against Boston or is it the state of MA? Actually, I love Boston and the Commonwealth. It is just that the politics are so liberal there that the only moniker that applies is "The Peoples Republic of Massachusetts". I thouroughly enjoyed the two years that I lived there.

BTW Fraidy Cat, I was inbred and raised in Yeager Town, Middle America (AKA Klan Central) and one thing I don't tolerate is Rebels! (even though I used to date one)

Todd...are you adhd? I love to read but also enjoy books on tape while driving long distances...just wondered re: inability to focus on the books on tape and the below level comprehension comment...DS with adhd/asperger's and is brilliant but with sub reading comp scores...were you serious, if not I guess i'm completelly nieve. Is the focus issue just since dx or a long standing issue 2much, Hello. You have a lot of insight. I have never been diagnosed ADHD but honestly, my guess would be that I am. It is an affliciton. Even remembering the earliest grades in elementary school, I never paid attention. Somehow, I stil made the grades so it was kinda weird. I tried listening to audio books in my car and it would be twenty minutes later before I realized had not being paying attention.

I thought Van Buren was where all that inbreeding went on. I don't live there except on every 5th weekend and a few other times a year. I'm not a rebel either. Have lived too many other places to feel at home with the red-necks. Bet I know where you rented a boat this past summer.

hey, hey, hey I am the local ADHD and ADD expert. I have serious experience with three of my kids and my H. And that was my first thought also. And your IQ is what bailed you out despite your inability to listen and pay attention.
Believe it or not, it's probably an evolutionary advantage. They just didn't bother to tell the educators that it was a good thing.

Gee and I thought you were going to say Beaver. While I really like Beaver, it was actually Lake Conroe north of Houston.

Now Todd, that's an old deaf joke not an ADD joke. But I guess it works for that too.

ADHD have no empathy abilities nor sexual imagination abilities, Todd has some empathy, except towards Pio and Francais that's it.
about the sexual imagination, maybe that's why he needs X rays?
Kiwi, are you bragging or something, do you forget that in this thread there are people, me included that go without it for months? Are you ADHD too? Ckicket !

Well, I'm pretty good at that ADD stuff, too. My D, my S, my mom (probably), and me. All of us. I bet my nephew is but his parents are in denial. So, what was it we were talking about?
You know what's funny though. For all the trouble I have paying attention and staying on task, I do really well on standardized tests. Just manage to get in the zone and go with it. Sort of like working a puzzle. HaHa!!! how much of this stuff can I get right?
Oh, yeah, my dog likes peanut butter, too.

I thought Van Buren was where all that inbreeding went on. Mother, If you are lurking, isn't that where Dirty Liar lives? [old family joke - when I was very young, my mother had a friend (won't mention her name) but when I heard it, I got confused and I thought her friend was named Dirty Liar There is a similar incident with Dusty Gorilla who literally scared the bejeezus out of me (I've never seen her BTW). I would hide when Dusty Gorilla came over!]

Okay everyone, I just happened to notice that regreted/tear/curly17 has changed her screen name to my wife's first initial and last name. Can I report this to a moderator?
This is a little over the top - even for such a depraved woman as that.

Ask the ruler maker. I'm just the new kid on the block, I haven't been here long enough to voice an opinion on that. My knee-jerk reaction says yes.
