Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Steph, or anyone else, do you have any ADHD stratagy book recommendations?
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.
At the library , we have a homework club for elementary school kids. In some of the libraries it goes up to high school. It seems to really help that there are a bunch of kids that are getting together in one place for the purpose of getting homework done. I wonder if something like that would help CJ. It is one way to help with the organizational issues
