ADULT ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER

Are you driving your family members crazy?  Is it hard to focus on what is being said to you?  Twenty things are running through your mind as someone is trying to have a conversation with you and they can see you're just not there. 

You tell yourself to FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS.  But that doesn't work especially if the conversation stays on one topic too long.  30-60 seconds on one topic is a long time if your brain is running rampant.  Sometimes with strangers you can "fake" it but that's hard with people who know you really well. 

I feel I was taken by aliens and experimented on but that's a lame excuse even if it is true.  My family members just say "yea, yea", "what else is new". 

It's nice to have people around you that don't give you grief because you're you.  I love them to death.  And how's your family??????

How do you feel about buying life insurance online?? 

How do you know it's for real or someone is going to "steal" your identity?   Or if I'm stupid enough to give them my bank account number, steal all my money.  How do people get anything done with all these questions running through their brain.

It's almost like 90% of the world is afraid of people contact anymore.  I really don't feel comfortable giving someone I've never met all my personal information including my social security number, medications, surgeries, etc.  I'm in the 10%....
and what are you doing online??????

High Heels and Bras(why do they have to sag???)

4" heels-UGH! Dolly Parton looks cute in them (she walks on her toes) but I too would break an ankle. I've worked most of my life and wore heels for 10-15 hrs a day but not anymore. I think men are designing the high, high heels to make women's legs look longer. 

BRA BURNING - Since as a young woman I only weighed 107 lbs and wore an A cup, I really didn't wear a bra most of the time so I couldn't see any sense in burning one. But in 1969, as a house mother in a rooming house for 29 college girls (2 blocks down from a huge college) I knew girls who actually did that. All these years later, whether you burned your bra or not doesn't seem to make any difference. The "girls" are still hanging down to your waist. Gravity sucks!! Have a happy day!

Girdles- A torture device designed by men, I'm sure...

I really don't have a huge vent today except for GIRDLES. You know the item. Definition is a lightweight undergarment, worn especially by women, often partly or entirely of elastic or boned, for supporting and giving a slimmer appearance to the abdomen, hips, and buttocks. 

Well, I tried on 3 full length spandex girdles to try and shove all the excess FAT rolls I have into one smooth, slender, curvy, figure. I did buy one but does it work-NO. Does it make me smooth, slender and curvy-NO. Did it cost an arm and leg-YES. But on the good side it comes with a built in bra that does seem to hold the sagging "girls" up and a snap crotch so one can use the facilities when necessary without having to totally undress. 

I keep getting shorter and my fat keeps getting fatter. Exercise has always depressing and seems like a waste of time. BUT I may have to adapt and change my way of thinking.

Hi everyone.  Happy Thursday, Feb. 9, 2012.  This is a new blog for me.  In fact, this is my first and only blog.  What is a BLOG anyway?  I watched the movie about Julia Childs (love that movie) and the star sweated her way through "blogging".  I'm not sure this is a good medium but for some of us I think this method may be very good for the soul. 

If you want to vent or even just talk about something that's bothering you, go for it. 

Do you think the world has gotten too PUBLIC?????  The Internet, Emails, Facebook, Twitter, Blogging, etc., etc.  Do people still call anyone (except for sales calls)? 

How about thank you notes?  Maybe I'm too old but if I send you a gift I don't expect a thank you in an email unless you are homebound. And before everyone gets their panties in a wad, yes I do get thank you notes from good friends and that's ok.  I think if you're younger than I am, send me a thank you note.  Show some respect at least for my age.

Welcome.
