Having responses going to a bunch of different threads is my usual MO, but not this time. Heck, half of the time they wind up on some notebook file & never get posted. I currently have to share my computer with one of my sons, which increases the number of my never completed responses to things. But hey, some day I might go back, dig through all of my notebook files, finish what I was gonna say & then post them all. LOL
Now picture this, I have several responses to the same single post going.
I almost feel like a little kid again, pawing through a box of tangled transistors to find the ones with the color stripes he's looking for. He was so patient with my silly questions.
I was accused of jumping around as if I had attention deficit disorder. Never was accused of that as a child. I was quiet and shy. Maybe ADHD is just in the brain of some people and they are not hyperactive. Or maybe some of us think so fast, it is hard for others to keep up. LOL
I have ADD, not ADHD, but back in the day, they just called it disorganized and/or scatterbrained.
I think maybe you just think so fast and teachers couldn't keep up. I do need structure in my life, though, many people do. Otherwise the universe seems just too vast! Some of us need to order our universe.That might be considered scatterbrain if it is unstructured. I learned that from my oldest son, when he was very young. A wise preschool teacher had that insight about him. Suprising what we learn from our kids.
I just started with these forems recently, thanks to a very dear friend, whom I love dearly. It's funny that both my teenage sons have been doing this for years already. One was and still is into live interactive role playing. He makes up games on a microsoft blog. He is a very bright and creative guy, so I told him he should not be giving his creative stories away like that to BIG BROTHER MICROSOFT for free. My other son has been into avatars for years, and he actually helped my write a paper for a graduate level class at a very early age: on how "online no one knows you're a dog? I wish I could find that paper, but it is on a crashed harddrive or on a zip disk and my zip drive is broken. LOL
Isn't it hard to follow threads sometimes unless you copy and paste the original into the reply box? Otherwise the response seems disjointed. I just try to write from my heart and see what happens. I thinks Henry? James called it a stream of consciousness.
