Very cool! I see you at the bottom there, dates that are in August. I’m not sure what that’s about.

How is it going so far? Possible topic questions… no pop quiz will be administered What is your favorite ADHD quirk? Lol! Which quirk do you think is the most unusual that you think others might not have? How happy do you get when you find others “out in the wild” who have ADHD and similar quirks?? Yes. Just in case you’re having trouble getting started, I thought I’d throw this out there for you to loosen up because it doesn’t have to be a big serious thing. Maybe we all learn more if there’s laughter involved!

@Tony Iverson aI definitely get it! That’s a basic for being in the ADHD club! And here is the question, at least the first one, that a non-ADHD person would ever think of: what is going on in the brain that would cause us to do these things? lol Have a great day!

@Mj Funaro I am sure you felt a lot of panic and anxiety with that happening. One thing, though now you can see what can happen, so maybe you can safeguard a little better and not get hung up on the fact that it happened. Please don’t beat yourself up about it. It’s that sort of thing I get afraid of if I travel, so I haven’t traveled for a long time. And the last time I did it was a complete disaster. I can’t think of a more disastrous trip I was going to fly from Oklahoma City to Maryland to Baltimore and to be at the ceremony for entering my dad’s and stepmom’s ashes and some military burial place. I never made it to the ceremony. I was exhausted from the beginning. My intestines were very unstable. I thought I had made a reservation for a rental car, but when I got there they said no, there’s no reservation and then charged me like $2500 for a car for what, three days or something, four days. I was exhausted and slept late at the motel after finding it like 1130 at night. Navigating to the location was nearly impossible because the way the roads lay out there is I didn’t find it accommodating at all. I missed turns and I don’t think I had the maps function yet. on my phone. So after missing the ceremony, I had planned to spend a day or two with my friend in Dover, and I was able to make it up there, but then it was time to drive back to Baltimore. I finally made it to the airport and usually there’s a pretty direct place to park the rental cars, but somehow it was closed and I couldn’t get the car over to where it was, so I parked on the street. I locked it and everything and then walked inside to where the office was to pay and then I started going on about the car was I don’t know abandoned or not that I stole it, but so crazy thing it was and then I wound up being up the entire night. I don’t know if I missed a flight then or not, but they had to settle about the car. I don’t remember if I walked them to the car. I don’t think so, but I told them exactly where it was. And thus I don’t ever let it travel much. Not not like that anyway. So yeah, I understand it. Yeah, it’s crazy. It’s really a pain .

@Mj Funaro Thank you 😊

@Lynn Berry Did you take a screenshot of it exactly? I still don’t see anything, and I so want to! Thanks in advance. 🩵🩵🩵

What a wonderful win that is!! congratulations to you and your mom! Yes, finding out is so eye-opening and life-changing because your brain has to like reconfigure everything and your self has to recalibrate and redefine everything under this new heading and figure what it means. And the great part is to find out it’s a real thing and that there’s millions of other people who experience the joys and pleasures of it just like you. I always love finding other ADHD people out in the wild, so to speak. They are always so identifiable because suddenly you both just sync with each other. There is laughter where before it would be somebody staring at you waiting for you to find the thing in your purse that you thought you had in there… now, it’s a big mutual “I get it” with recognition and affirmation with each other. You no longer standing out side lost and alone like before, except for the places where your brain hasn’t quite gotten the new picture yet. Yay us!!
