YeeeeeeeeeeHaw I have finally ,after years of knowing you, found a typo. Im so excited!!!!!!!!!!!! Love ya man. Go wit the feelings

Oh yea, Real People living life with add

ADD Forums: Where the easily distracted focus on life.

thinking out loud mode ....

I like "support resource"

there is just so much that ADDF offers ...

i don't like "biggest" "best" -- any adj. that connote comparisons with other forums or resources .... as garry said in the logo thread, how do we know we're the biggest?

just something that states who we are, what we do here, our energy ...

:brain whiring:

W.

Oh I like that. I might add we are easily entertained.

Learn, Live, Laugh
In the ADD Forums

This is addictive

2.) ADD Forums: Unique thinkers finding support, comraderie, and fun (needs some work...)

3.) Information, Support, and Comraderie ... for ADDers and the people who love them (hmmm, good start, week finish....)

thanks for the new contest, Andrew! :D

You're welcome :D

ADD Forums...no, its NOT about math.

LOL took me forever to figure this one out.....Duh me.

ADD Forums...no, its NOT about math.

LOL -- good one! heh.

4.) ADD Forums: Controlled Chaos at it's Finest

Seeing the World From A Unique Point of... hey look, string!

You, me and ADD. A world full of WONDER-full possibilities.

Add forums ..... where hope , knowledge and acceptance are found

I know we had a previous post on favorite t-shirts we would like to see, but it was a while ago, and we have so many new members now...would love to see suggested t-shirt ideas here as well! :D

ADD is not contagious

You can not catch it

You can not cure it

You can enjoy it

Might sound like I'm sucking up or something, 'cause these are both Andrew's, but I'm too tired to care and Andrew probably knows I ain't gonna suck up to him :p

I like the "No, it's not about math" one, and this one as well:
ADD Forums: Where the easily distracted focus on life.For input I can give (or try to :rolleyes: ), there are also a couple of quotes I like, but I don't know if that'll work because neither specifically says "ADD" or something...and can we use a quote from a famous person? :eyebrow: Maybe we could modify it. Haven't taken my meds yet and I've been up all dang night ! :faint:
*love the new emoticons, BTW*

Anyway, here are the quotes:

"The Advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time."~Unknown
"Memory is the thing you forget with."~Alexander Chase

Gave it a shot, anyway...:)

5.) ADD Forums: The World from an ADDers Perspective

Oh, man, the string thing rocks too...but y'all are the admins, you get to decide, and you'll probably want something serious and/or dignified!
String...:p Good Lord!

ADD Forums: Online Resource for ADHD Support and Education

Sometimes I miss having the anonymity of being a straight up member. This admin label in bright red is a dead give away!

The concept of embracing some ADHD moment or singularly recognisable ADHD trait in humour would be very appealing to me. I don't know about you guys but I am not much on formality. I take my fun where ever I can find it.

One of my strengths is the ease with which I laugh. I find many ADHD types are bright and enjoy a play on words or something to make them smile.

It's probably not appropriate to make light of the serious service we provide in willingly sharing our experience, strength and hope (thank-you 12 steps) but it's worth playing with.

Too much starch in the collar irritates me.
Cheers! Ian.

tshirt idea. picture of frazzled person with caption that reads...

Forgive me I am having an ADD moment

With the tshirt back of a calm collected good looking ADHD with the caption, "Better living through chemistry"

My bad.. I'll go back to my corner now.. :D

awwwwwwww...I really like that one Ttj.




(btw, missed you today...huggems and love)

Takes a bow and says ty ty ty.

lol...uh huh...love & hugsss ttj...have missed you too.

You know me and quotes :soapbox: :eek: :cool: lol, so here are a few about ADD and ADHD, some are better then others, some are from famous personality ect ....

Hunters in a farmer's world.

The best non-pharmacological treatment for ADD is exercise, sex, and humor.

I see myself as an intelligent, sensitive human, with a soul of a clown which forces me to blow it at the most important moments."

To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk."

All human evil comes from a single cause, man's inability to sit still in a room."

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention to what I was thinking."

I prefer to distinguish ADD as attention abundance disorder. Everything is just so interesting . . . remarkably at the same time.”

The only problem with the world is a lot of people DON'T have ADD"

“Man, I love my ADD. It always reminds me how much I don’t remember.”

"Sometimes a person with ADD feels as if their mind is moving as fast as a speeding train."

"ADD is like going through life carrying a one man band contraption, with a broken strap."

"I love my dust. It shows I had something better to do."

When a man does all he can, though it succeeds not well, blame not him that did it.”
George Washington, 1st President of USA, problem with reading and writing

Failure in school does not mean failure in life.

He did not speak until the age of three and teachers labeled him mentally slow: “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”
Albert Einstein, scientist

“Life is full of challenges. How you handle these challenges is what builds character. Never be afraid to be who you are.”
Erin Brockovich, activist

In reference to his being the class clown: “I didn’t want anyone to know that I didn’t get it.
Tommy Hilfiger, designer

“I felt like an alien. I always felt like I never belonged to any group that I wanted to belong to.”

Ian, I love this. It sort of catches the essence of these forums.

And I would really like to see the other one.....(all I can remember is: ....hey look string!) on a T-shirt.

I like to think my sense of humor is quite healthy also! Ask my husband, I laugh at TV commercials....ALL THE TIME!!! Talk about laughing easily. I think its great-perpetual happiness!:D

Inspiration is an odd thing. I like it when it comes but I never know if it will ever return!
Cheers! Ian

Do you know the word "comorbid"..... ADDERS do

I do! But I don't think it's half as morbid as they make it out to be. ;)

Was meaning it as a tshirt sorry if I left that part out. Figure it would be a good way for non adders to open their eyes to how much they do not know.

It would be a goodun'.

And I'm goofy with sleep deprivation.. nighty night.. :)

How about bumper stickers......

BACK OFF I AM ADD AND I KNOW HOW TO USE IT.

BACK OFF... I AM ADD AND HAVE FORGOTTEN WHICH WAY I NEED TO TURN.

ADDERS DONT SPEED WE QUALIFY (I kinda stole that one)

:cool: I was ADD before Add was cool :D

I agree Crazymama, this one of Ian's is great:D Wonder what made him come up with that?:confused: It's very good:foot: :foot: :foot: !

ADD is considered an abnormality----> but ONLY by those who don't have ADD????

Stop ADD from being abnormal!!!!
Hang out here where it is normal to have ADD!!!

Well that's my two cents worth!!!

There were some good ones up there

But I like Ians

Seeing the World From A Unique Point of... hey look, string!

The best so far........................

I didn't know it was impossible when I did it.

I can Hyperfocus, Multitask and have fun all at the sametime....
what can you do?

i love these brainstorming of ideas ....we need more threads like this :)

:soapbox: :) :eek: :cool: :D

I agree. Or do I disagree :eek: I can't make up my mind. :confused:

I'm sorry, y'all, I'm just laughing--we've got all these deep and meaningful slogans written on here...and the one we really love is about string!

:) :D :p ;) :D :)

God, we're goofballs. I guess Ian must be king of the goofballs!

Chrys

All Hail, Ian -- King of the Goofballs :D

ADD Forums: Where the easily distracted focus on life.


I really like this one

1. The forum where ADDERs............................................ ..Ummm, What was I saying?

lol sorry not funny i know!

(Re: daughters' discovery of their daddy's goofiness)

Ohhh, I see, Ian. Keepin' it quiet, gotta be the dignified authority figure...gotcha. ;)

Your secret's safe with...well, most of the people who have seen your posts! :p

Chrys

ADD Forums - Multi User, Multi Tasking.

resident goof. Ian.

Please make the organization stop

That reminds me of an email signature I like.

"Let's organize this thing and take all the fun out of it."

Why make plans when you can fly by the seat of your pants.

This is my favorite saying...

ADDERS are FLAWED PERFECTIST

They say the way to a mans heart is through his stomache
way to a ADDERS heart ........ sit back embrace them and enjoy the ride :D


( how i see my son... adhd makes life more full never a boreing moment :D )

way to a ADDERS heart ........ sit back embrace them and enjoy the ride :D


I love it Miss_Nutty!!!!!

OK, I am drained from work and school tonight but I wanna give a try at quotes.

"I wish I can focus long enough to create a quote"

"Organization is a state of mind ... for adders is a pile of papers on the kitchen table"

"ADDers don't have lack of focus; they have too much focus on too many things"

"The chemistry in my brain is not messed up... I just happen to have the right chemical in the wrong quantity"

Alexandra

Order is for idiots, genius can handle chaos.

Order is for idiots, genius can handle chaos.


I love it!!!!

You all laugh because I am different - I laugh because you are all the same :D

I'm good at being inarticulately abstracted for the same reason midgets are good at being short

I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.

I wish my mouth had a backspace key.

People like you are the reason people like me need medication.

I'm not completely useless. At the least I can set a bad example.

Due to intense mind fog, all my thoughts have been grounded.

I clean my house every other day. Today is the other day.

DO NOT ADJUST YOUR MIND - the fault is with reality

Completely irresponsible, utterly irrelevant, totally irrational…strangely irresistable

These are great!!!

Andrew you should know by now i have tons more :eek: lol here are a few of them.

You appeal to a small, select group of confused people.

A free society is a place where it's safe to be unpopular (my favorite)

People used to explore the dimensions of reality by taking LSD to make the world look weird. Now the world is weird and they take Prozac to make it look normal.

I never set out to be weird. It was always the other people who called me weird.

If bein hott is a crime........ arrest me ( oups , it slipped in :rolleyes: )

Boredom is a sign of unused potential.

The world is a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed

My mind contains many good ideas, but it is not always easy to squeeze one out.

I've discovered that I often visit the state of confusion,
and I know my way around pretty well.

Darnit look at that , i have more lol...

Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

I'm not crazy; I'm just a sane person trapped in the body of a lunatic.

This isn't hell, but you can see it from here.

Procrastination is the thief of time.

Procrastination is the art of waiting.

The entire world's a stage; I didn't get cast!

Nothing is quite so annoying to have someone go right on talking when you're interrupting.

I'M NOT IMMATURE you stinky butt poo poo head

It's a dog eat dog world... And I'm wearing milkbone underwear!

The fridge light DOES go out. Now let me out of here!!!!

Families are like fudge . . . mostly sweet, with a few nuts.

Some people learn from observation.
Some have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.

Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is
like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian.

Beauty, brains, availability, personality; pick any two. (gosh,,, sowwy ;) )

Fear is just excitement in need of an attitude adjustment

Everybody repeat after me..."We are all individuals.

Weird people are like chocolate cake... some people can't handle the richness

Sanity is the playground for the unimaginative.

Sanity is the playground for the unimaginative.

Omg!! I love this one .... :D

:) :faint: :faint: :foot: :soapbox: :D

Insanity doesn't run in my family. It gallops.

The world is your playground. Why aren't you playing?

Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit.

Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity.
They seem more afraid of life than death.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy;
they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

For me, insanity is super sanity.

The normal is psychotic. Normal means lack of imagination, lack of creativity

Insanity is often the logic of an accurate mind overtasked.

I may be crazy but it keeps me from going insane

You go girl! You have to find a buiness to use that talent!

That would be fun, i loveeeeeeee quotes and stuff llike that :p

Dang, digitl! You're like a slogan factory, chica! :D Rock on...my fave: "...doesn't run in my family, it gallops." ;)

Chrys

Slogan; Have you checked your pockets?

nice one!

have you heard the children't song about the little boy with all the stuff in his pockets? "i bet you can't guess what i've got in my pockets." then he lists off *tons* of stuff, really quickly! very fun song.

I'm not weird! I'm gifted!

My imaginary friend thinks you have serious mental problems...

in some cultures what i do iz considered normal

We're all pretty bizzare, it's just some of us are better at showing it

Chaos in the midst of chaos isn't funny, but chaos in the midst of order is.

Bring it on Digi! I'm loving it. I'm quite confident now that the well is bottomless!
Huggeroo to you.

Bring it on Digi! I'm loving it. I'm quite confident now that the well is bottomless!
Huggeroo to you.
Bottomless i dont know LOL... :) but i do have a lot on my computer...saved away for a reason...and there it is hehehe thanks for not getting annoyed my way to many quotes :rolleyes:

Some day my boat will come in, and with my luck I'll be at the airport.

There are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something.

Any man who afflicts the human race with ideas must be prepared to see
them misunderstood.

That's the difference between me and the rest of the world! Happiness isn't good enough for me! I demand euphoria!

Don't let people drive you crazy when you know it's in walking distance.

If you're here, who's running hell?"

I'm not a has-been, I'm a will be.

We're not lost. We're locationally challenged.

You're not shy. You're conversationally selective.

I'm not indecisive. Am I indecisive?

Sometimes I dream about being caried off by a big giant squirrel.
Does that make me a nut?

Don't dare to be different, dare to be yourself -
if that doesn't make you different then something is wrong

It gives me great pleasure indeed to see the stubbornness of an incorrigible
nonconformist warmly acclaimed

Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors.
Try to be better than yourself.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim.
Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

You were born an original. Don't die a copy

I am not eccentric. It's just that I am more alive than most people.

I am an unpopular electric eel set in a pond of goldfish.

Be neither a conformist or a rebel, for they are really the same thing.
Find your own path, and stay on it

To be one's self, and unafraid whether right or wrong,
is more admirable than the easy cowardice of surrender to conformity.

Exuberance is beauty

What I look forward to is continued immaturity followed by death.

It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them!

The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.

A child is a curly, dimpled lunatic.

Curiosity is one of the most permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous intellect.

Part of being sane, is being a little bit crazy.

Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting.

All I want to be is normally insane

If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants.

Other people are quite dreadful. The only possible society is oneself.

I’m addicted to placebos. I’d give them up, but it wouldn’t make any difference.

The best non-pharmacological treatment for ADD is exercise, sex, and humor.

Vertical thinking is digging the same hole deeper. Lateral thinking is trying again elsewhere."

I've decided that I procrastinate too much, but I'm going to change that in a week or so."

I was standing in the park, wondering why frisbees got bigger as they got closer, then it hit me *

If it weren't for caffeine I'd have no personality whatsoever!

Don't tell me I'm burning the candle at both ends -- tell me where to get more wax!!"

This sentence contradicts itself -- no actually it doesn't.

Only dead fish go with the flow.

It's not reality that's important, but how you perceive things.

Don't trust reality. After all, it's only a collective hunch.

Character is what you are. Reputation is what people think you are.

Anything worth taking seriously is worth making fun of.

What this country needs is more family trees that will produce more lumber and fewer nuts.

I planted some bird seed. A bird came up. Now I don't know what to feed it

Only dull people have clean houses

My brain? That's my second favorite organ!"

What did everyone gave up already LOLl..

Come on people, let your fingers do the talking :p :)

You appeal to a small, select group of confused people.

What is a rebel? A man who says no

Confusion not only reigns, it pours.

So, is that file about 3 megs of text? eheh Keep at it. Just because you find yourself out front dosn't mean people aren't cheering! ehehehh Your killing me. My face hurts from smiling!

ADHD - never boring.

Last weeble to wobble

Thank Ian , you make me smile also :)

So here are a few more just for ya ...:faint: :foot:

Confusion is the welcome mat at the door of creativity

Don't worry about your originality. You couldn't get rid of it even if you wanted to. It will stick with you and show up for better or worse in spite of all you or anyone else can do."

I have come to the conclusion that my subjective account of my motivation is largely mythical on almost all occasions. I don't know why I do things."

Sometimes I...No, I don't.

The people in the town think i'm nuts, they just don't know how right
they are."

I'm what Willis was talkin bout

They told me I was crazy... but what do cheerios know?

There are two worlds; the world that we can measure with the line and rule, and the world that we feel with our hearts and imagination.

There never was in the world two opinions alike, no more than two hairs or two grains; the most universal quality is diversity.

Some superior minds are unrecognized because there is no standard by which to weigh them.

Therapy is expensive, popping bubble wrap is cheap!

Support mental health or I'll kill you

Sometimes I wish life had subtitles

I don't suffer from stress. I'm a carrier

TTHAAAAATSSSS allllllllllllll folkssssssssssssssss ( for now ) :rolleyes: :D

Ok, so I under estimated! It's likely a 10 meg folder. :P

"I was standing in the park, wondering why frisbees got bigger as they got closer, then it hit me *"

Ohhh....thank you, I needed to LMAO over some goofy stuff and I did....and it's actually clean humor ;) Is that you, or did you get it from Johnny Carson?

Chrys

Hey, man, I'm still on the string one, but...

...if this hasn't been posted yet, it should be:

"ADD Forums: where...wait, where was I? Oh, yeah--ADD For--...uh...no, that's not it. Umm... Oh, good grief, never mind!"
No, that's too long...I could see myself saying it, though! ;)

Here's one that might only apply to hyperfocusers...I don't know:
"ADD Forums: we're getting nothing done (but trying really hard.)"

Chrys

"If being sane is thinking there's something wrong with being different....I'd rather be completely freaking mental."

Attention Deficit ... Uh, ... Disorder

I'm Getting In Touch With My Dysfunctional Side

Anti-Social Butterfly

I'm not a complete idiot. You complete me.

Randomness Happens

I'm Brainstorming Here (And Quite A Storm It Is)

Another smooth escape disguised as a dramatic exit.

The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of childhood into maturity

Life is like a box of chocolates .. full of nuts!

Yes, I've heard of "decaf." What's your point?

We don't live in a world of reality,
we live in a world of perceptions.

I can always be distracted by love, but eventually I get horny for my creativity.

I am a PBS mind in an MTV world.

People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.

Keep emotionally active. Cater to your favorite neurosis.

Mentaly confused and prone to wandering.

Real fun is bungie jumping off the edge of insanity!

We're kindred lunatics.

What is the point of being fascinatingly crazy if you don't enrich the world with it?

You should see the ones we don't let out in public.

_Getting_ weird? Been there, done that, got the frequent flyer miles.

I was born weird--this terrible compulsion to behave normally is the result of childhood trauma.

I'm betting that I'm just abnormal enough to survive.

I've always wanted to be normal, but lately I've come to suspect that this is it.

Genius means little more than the faculty of perceiving in an unhabitual way.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star.

I'm not crazy about reality, but it's still the only place to get a decent meal.

How does a project get to be a year behind schedule? One day at a time.

The things we fear most in organizations -- fluctuations, disturbances, imbalances -- are the primary sources of creativity.

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.

I won't ever grow up. My biological clock has a snooze button.

I'm aiming by the time I'm fifty to stop being an adolescent.

Sleep deprivation is fun - you see such pretty colors.

OK I'm weird, but I'm Saving Up to be Eccentric.

Opposite weirdnesses attract, all weirdness is opposite.

Weird is just a word boring people use to describe those they're jealous of.

Not to have control over the senses is like sailing in a rudderless ship, bound to break to pieces on coming in contact with the very first rock.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

I'm not confused, I'm well mixed.

I haven't lost my mind; I have a tape back-up somewhere.

I'll be the in to your sane.

I feel like a fugitive from the law of averages.

Labels are for filing. Labels are for clothing. Labels are not for people.

Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton asked why.

I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.

For your convenience our staff is fluent in monosyllabic grunts. :p

Four years ago... No, it was yesterday. Today I... No, that wasn't me.
Sometimes I... No, I don't.

...
Here's one that might ...apply to hyperfocusers...:

Digitl, Whoa, whoa, hold on, slow down, back up a minute, rewind...you you are are are starting starting starting to to to to re re re re re repeat your your yo yo yo yourself.
