'Out Of Gas'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Apophenia, which is basically seeing patterns where there are none. I'm fascinated by patterns and how we perceive them.
That reminds me of a great example of Auditory Pareidolia.
It's fascinating to listen to it without seeing the video and then watching the video and hear something different just because words are being shown.
Best of luck figuring out what's up with Em. It is better to have it checked now, and if it helps, think that she's designed that way rather than having stuff "wrong" with her. Not that I'm especially good at the developmental psych, but I think I've read that ADD has evolutionary benefits. I mean, she's also funny, and gutsy and creative.Ari Emanuel has ADD...true, half of Hollywood hates his guts, but he would consider that a feature, not a bug, since he psyched them all out to be an agent-colossus.
I was diagnosed with ADHD Inattentive Type in my mid-30s. The therapist I worked with had this to say: The great thing about the ADHD brain is that it sees all the possibilities in a situation - your job is to learn how to narrow those down to what is do-able.

I'm laughing at this because I live with it. And for someone whose impatience is as legendary as mine, having to live with someone who takes an ungodly amount of time to work through all the possibilities is -- well, the universe finally gave me what I deserved.
But at the same time, living with someone who sees all the possibilities is a joy, because he's endlessly creative and resourceful and fun. I wouldn't have him any other way, and I (obviously) wouldn't have anyone else.

Ohhhh, that is a good way of explaining it. And fits CJ and the problems he has been having in Algebra. He finds different ways to come up with the answer, then gets confused if his method doesn't match the teacher's method, and then he second guesses himself which leads to utter frustration.

Huh, I've run into this in various subjects. Darned world with multiple ways to the same destination. Tell me WHY your way is the right way, buster, and make it good, or shut up already.
There is a reason for things like ADHD, I've always wonder if was a tribal survival trait. ( see windsparrow's post)
any way, I assumed kindergarten class rooms are modified versions of my preschool story time. song story song story , etc. with song meaning there are some actions. Part of the idea of storytime is to get them to learn when to sit , when to listen , hen to participate. and it varies by age, phase of the moon, what breakfast was , the strenght of the wind, ect. on how successful it is . I am guessing the average k-2 teacher has to go go with the flow.
When my OKCupid profile says specifically that I prefer my dates to be taller than I, why in the world would a guy who is 5'4" send me an icebreaker?
Did he mention he didn't think he qualified? I once poked at a guy whose criteria I didn't meet (not sure on what, maybe age), but I copped to it in the email. I figured better to seem contrary (because I am) than inattentive (which I also am, but why let the cat out of the bag so soon?).
Well, maybe he thought you matched well in every other way?
