Steph, or anyone else, do you have any ADHD stratagy book recommendations?
I'm pretty sure bay area 'fistas know about the Piedmont High School bird calling contest. The winners get to appear on Letterman. Last year the son of my Oakland PM was on the first place team. This year his team came in second. I've known this kid since he was born. Anyway, today is the taping at Letterman and it airs tomorrow night. He is the only dark haired kid on the second place team. I'm so utterly thrilled for him. Also, Letterman's team is very generous with the airfare and accomodations for these kids.

I'll ask Tim when he gets home. (Which is shameful, since I am the librarian for the CHADD group, and we do in fact have a section of books on ADHD and adolescents. But I don't know which ones are most useful and which ones are a waste of time.) I'm making a note right now to ask him tonight, and I'll let you know. Want me to email you?
I mean, if my roommate is nearby when I'm leaving I'll say goodbye. I'm not a total jerk.
I say goodbye to my cat when I'm leaving if she's nearby.
Thank you, Teppy (and Tim).
I do, too. And Walter, who typically either tries to come with me or takes the opportunity to migrate to the backyard. I also tell whichever critter is closest that they are in charge while I'm gone. Because some needs to be.
There are still screaming children nearby and I need to answer a question about lube. What is my life.

Ha! I always do this. The cats need some responsibility, frankly.
I feel a little bad when Pixie or Wednesday is left in charge. They are not very responsible. Not like Walter.
I tell the DH when I'm leaving, and he me, but I never told roommates. They aren't the boss of me, would be my take on it.
I probably always say something when I am leaving, but I am probably the only one in the house that does that. Then again if I visit mom I must call her when I get home so she knows I arrive safely. It is something we have always done in my family.
It has been like 40 years (really) since I had a roommate, so I don't remember.
eta: I think if I was asked to do so I would make the effort.
