How could I leave this story out?
When I got to Paris (on my almost-didn't-happen trip b/c of story posted on 'you know you're ADHD when.." thread', my friends and I were walking up and down the length of the Charles de Gaulle train depot looking for our train. It was a hot day and I had my backpack on.
Up and down the launching planks I walked. I went to the Information Desk and asked for help, etc. - we were walking around the terminal for about an hour. We walked by one young train conductor several times and he seemed to almost either be flirting with me or laughing at me. I couldn't tell, but he definitely appeared amused.
We finally boarded the train and as I was taking my backpack off, something didn't feel right. I whipped around and asked my friends "HEY!!!! HAS MY SKIRT BEEN TUCKED UP INTO MY BACKPACK THIS WHOLE TIME?" The laughed but reassured me it hadn't or 'we would have noticed!"
It was my birthday and later the conductor and a few fellow employees joined us in our car to help celebrate. When we'd all had a drink or two, the flirty conductor yells out "YOU WERE SO FUNNY WALKING AROUND IN YOUR LITTLE UNDERWEAR!! HAHAHA"
Again, I swear it could only happen to me.

As we all know of the people person skills. Today I went to collect donations for our annual parade ad book. We went to this boat shop were we frequent as we are friends with the owner. Well, while he was looking for what he wanted for his ad, there came in 3 other customers. Mind you this is a Tuesday which is usually a slow day for him. Well, then he gets a phone call, so I go out and tell the people that he'll be there shortly. One guy, thinking I worked there, asked me where some nets where. So I told him I wasn't there all the time, but we'd look around. So there we are looking around for nets that I knew weren't there, but I was trying to stall him incase the owner had something in the back or he could order it for him. Well, th eowner comes from the back fromt he phone call, deals with one guy, gives the other guy a catalouge to look through, and I point this guy to him. It was too funny ;D I was quite proud of myself for keeping a customer around. Even if he didn't have what he needed, he knew that he would have friendly service that BSed their way through it  ;D ;D ;D The owner finally found what he wanted and told me that I had to stop by there all the time because I brought customers in ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D |

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! ;D ;D
That is too funny! I can just picture it. We are so adaptable.
You know you are ADHD when you have heard (at least once in your life) "Wow, you are a jack of all trades" or any variation thereof. You should see my bookcase. I probably have a book on any subject. tee hee
Here is an exerpt from an interview with Ashley Judd...makes you wonder how many actors are ADHD. Call it a "healthy ego" or ADHD. hahaha
CNN: Having such a musical family [Ashley is Naomi Judd's daughter and Wynonna Judd's younger sister], were you worried about singing?
JUDD: I wasn't bothered by the idea, but when it came down to it I was fairly nervous. I was too dumb to panic. You know, we actors have fairly healthy egos: "Oh sure, I can do that, no problem. Gain 30 pounds, sing a song, ride a horse, jump off a building, no worries."

I know you said you weren't into Country, but, come on over to the fun realistic side of my world. Every Country song I hear I can picture someone around me in that situation. Not too many about people being thrown in Jail, but everything else is pretty much where I live.
We sit on our porch everyday and just wave to everyone. A friend of ours had stopped by for the first time a couple months ago. As people are going by we were talking and I was just looking up and waving, looking down and waving, talking to him and waving.
He says, DO YOU KNOW ALL THESE PEOPLE? I said NOPE, 90% of them, the others just drive by everyday and you just start waving at em so they ain't staring and eventually they start smiling and waving too.
If yo ever get a chance to listen to Trace Adkins: Rough and Ready. That describes my husband to a "t", except that he just cut his hair, other than that it's Mike.
You are far from alone buttercup, oh, and my husband is the jack of all trades, unless I get to it first ;D

Buttercup... please stop STALKING ME!  I know that you have to be... you know my life story! I always sit at the computer and starting going through posts... I finally learned my lesson. If the post is from you, get up and use the restroom FIRST, so I don't have to RUN with my knees together while I am laughing out of embarrassment remembering when I DID THAT too! |

I just got a special delivery from the Post Office that was in a drawing tube. I was really confused, but took it and opened it up.
Inside is a poster of a DVD that I ordered from eBay. I'm like "what the..." So, I just checked my order and apparently, I accidentally ordered the POSTER not the movie. I PAID $15.00 FOR THAT!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!
Only someone with ADHD, I swear!

You know it's an ADD day when: Your three year old is very calmly and patiently directing you through the daily routine. |

Ask the kids why they can't keep their rooms clean, and look around the house at all the piles  |
