ADD/ADHT/ADT getting tested...

Hi guys,

Quick question for you... I'm thinking about getting tested for ADD etc., and was wondering if there is anything I should know. Particularly in regards to future work employment issues etc. Is there any negatives to getting labelled ADD? I don't want to dig myself into a hole that I might not be able to get out of. I've been functioning fairly well, but I'm pretty sure I know what the outcome of the tests will be. :)

I'm all ears! Hey, let's go ride bikes!

Hey Michael, Thanks so much for...

Hey Michael,

Thanks so much for that reply, I greatly appreciate it. I am hemming and hawing about it, as I don't really know how much it may benefit me... honestly, there are more that are worse, I'm sure. Almost all my friends laugh at me, they say: "You are so damned ADD, it's hilarious." So, perhaps I should check it out. :)

Wow- you're actually reading my crazy Blog?! Hell, someone is reading it?! :) Please be advised that many people who know me will tell you I'm crazy and often am dumb as a post when it comes to things of importance. ;)

Please feel free to e-mail/pm me if you want to chat about anything there, Michael. I have to admit, it's a joy to hear someone actually likes a bit of what I'm writing. :) Hell, even my GF doesn't read my blog. Guess I better start posting things about her there to motivate her, eh? he he he...

My best!

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
