New day | ADHD Information

Wish I could say what happened last night would never happen again - but  i never know what i might do.  Have done worse.  haven't been drunk in about 2 years - nothing I want to repeat anytime soon. 
 reread th post this morning - didn't remember half of it. 
other than the churning stomach and the spinning head,  don't feel too bad.
Don't feel like running this morning, though. 
i think i'll live
Hi CG!  I saw you were on and tried to message you but your box is full, so  I left you a message in the other forum.  Glad you're not feeling too bad :)  Just remember how many people there are here for you :P Thanks -  I see - Just get drunk and get 100 replys.   Well yeah, I guess, just don't take too much advantage of us!! :P  (kidding) i don't want to be a party pooper but did you know that a hangover is actually a sign of some brain damage??

glad to see you feeling better countrygirl..
Geez Brooke, how does one go about getting into all of these clubs?  How come no one told me?  Gee whiz, its high school all over again . . .


well i believe ya heidimarie...

see ya (wouldn't wanna be ya)



oh dear that's just another childish insult from highschool. have
a good one. am off too. editig. that is funny - haha

not funny peculiar. didn't mean to insult your husband.

oops. I read to him what you said about him being funny, and what I replied, and he said, "Why don't you just be honest and tell her what you tell me -- He's an idiot."

I'm a bit emotionally abusive, so shoot me!
HeidiMarie38636.4731365741*But I'm not really, it's all in good fun.  He doesn't believe me when I say it!*

And nah, don't worry, neither of us take much seriously.  It may come across different on the internet sometimes yanno, because well its the internets and communications can beget a little disgarbled . . .
a whinger ---- you don't know what a whinger is???

it is someone who whinges and whines. ie

i want this
i don't like it
why didn't i get (to do) that
why can't i
i don't want to

in a particularly unpleasant and gratey tone of voice. any child
that whinges in England (and Australia???) gets a short, sharp
slap around the head. they learn pretty fast. being a 'whinger'
is not a positive thing.

(and whingeing myself now --- i was really hoping you would
log on last night when CG was feeling a wee bit under the
weather - as a result of the drink - as can happen from time to
time....

we needed a bit of a sense of humor, eh? and i was thinking
where IS that heidimarie she's funny.... an' all i could think of
was one hopeless joke!)

hey CG meant to add - glad you are feeling better. myself, i
love drinking. i don't even mind the hangover the next morning.
but each to their own, right! one man's etc. etc. chjones38636.4637037037 Heh, I was up til one a.m. here (I'm in Northern Maine), had been private messaging with Glen and then got the word that she was okay, so I went to bed.  My son gets up around 6 am or so and I gotta get up with him.  Sorry I missed it!

Ah, so being a whinger isn't a good thing eh, I didn't think so.  :P  My right to whine about my ADHD problems are being stifled!  Heh, j/k.

My jokes aren't much better.  Here's my best, stolen from my husband:

What do a tricycle and a duck have in common?  They both have three wheels -- except for the duck.
HeidiMarie38636.4652546296

stupid. stupid. stupid. funny.

you make me laugh heidimarie - i don't know why. you should
probably do stand up. stand ups make me laugh and i don't
know why too sometimes.

Somebody gave me a t-shirt that said "Want some cheese with that Whine ? "

 

hey one of the privileges of becoming an adult is the right to
whinge. this, along with putting your elbows on the table being
able to smoke, drive and have sex ---

(and dare i mention it - drink. woo-hoo. being an adult IS all it's
cracked up to be)Ahh, don't give me all the credit!  My cynical husband with a dry sense of humor wrote it!

I couldn't do stand up.  I have ADHD, remember?  Forgetting all your jokes may be funny in movies, but not in RL :(
ummm i love cheddar and stilton (that's my heritage obviously).
but yeah - what you got? [QUOTE=chjones]hey one of the privileges of becoming an adult is the right to

(and dare i mention it - drink. woo-hoo. being an adult IS all it's

We can have sex now??!!!
no, no it IS funny. ya know --- it's the new 'alternative-style'
comedy. stop in middle of train of thought and go no but yeah,
that taxi driver.... what i mean having sex with my wife the other
day

they are all like that. nobody'd ever even notice. they probably
script in ADD moments on purpose! just to give it that
'underground/alternative feel'.

yeah, right????

your husband is funny.

does he have ADD too?

If this be true, I'll never whinge again!
Hehe, nope hubby has major depressive disorder, agoraphobia, and panic disorder.  Got them all from that loving government service the U.S. Military.

You know, you're right.  Now to just work on my speech impediments . . . Oh wait thsoe are funny too . . . When can I start?
high school heidimarie??

golly gosh, its life.. political parties have their own factions, so does the greater world of commerce.. communist organisations have always had their factions - look no further than trotsky and lenin..
then we can move on to religious denominations.. sh*te and sunni, protestant and catholic, scientology and everyone else..

why the double standard??

hell heidi, i'm going to start a 'whingers club'.. make you the first member
When I said it was high school all over again, I meant the part about me not being in 'the know' ..  I had no idea what was going on in high school.  There are all these clubs here and as usual, like in high school, I'm the lost one.  Heck, I thought being the lost one was one of the major traits of ADHD.   I was picking on myself, I don't have anything against anyone being a part of any organization, heck I'm a flaming liberal with aspirations of world domination!

I think there was a misunderstanding here.  Short and simple.  "Geez Brooke, how does one go about getting into all of these clubs?  And how come no one told me?  Gee whiz it's high school all over again" = There's something going on and as usual I have no idea what's going on.


HeidiMarie38636.2969444444And what might be a whinger? I had shakes today..but was finally able to eat 1/2 a burger by lunch.  went to work out and fell off the frigging leg push thingy because I was still dizzy. 

About 4 years ago, I tried to out drink my friend Carmen with Tequila - Bad idea- woke up hanging out of a broken window.  Don't know how I didn't get hurt, or how the window got broke

2 years ago, got drunk on Bacardi & rum  Hubby found me passed out in the bathroom and my blood sugar was 37.  Scary

I think Im good for at least 2 more years.

EEEEWWWWW........I had a 2 day hangover one time,  after a New Year's Party. My boyfriend (Now HUSBAND!!) broke up with me right before......I had about 200 jello shooters, a whole bottle of red wine, some flaming lemon drops (vodka and bacardi 151).........OMG......I thought I was dying.......Luckily I didn't have to work the next day, bu I had to work the second day........I barely made it....

My cousin swears by taking a couple of vitamin b12 capsules before you go to bed will prevent a hangover..I can't say I ever tried it.....I never "plan" on getting drunk, and when I do, which is rarely anymore, I never think about taking it before I go to bed. I always drink a couple of glasses of tomato juice. It seems like it helps my head as well as my stomach and kind of fills me up.

I was a bartender for 6 years.....(which by NO means makes me an expert on the subject, I just read a lot of books about it along the way)..I've heard all the wives' tales of hangover "cures" -- they even make a pill you can take!!...but the ONLY thing that will help sober you up is time..You can drink some coffee, but then you're only going to be wide awake and drunk...you can drink water...that helps dilute the ratio of alcohol in your system, but only by a trivial amount. The best thing to do is EAT, if you can, alcohol usually makes you hungry, and then wait a little while for your food to digest and then go to bed and get as much sleep as possible...It's funny because alcohol is a depressant, but as it's effects are wearing off, it has the opposite effect, it becomes a stimulant. Have you ever awakened  the morning after with the "shakes" ? That is the stimulating effect as the alcohol is wearing off. The headache you feel is because of the dehydration affecting your brain. SO, Yes, drink some water bfore you go to bed!! if you can...water is the LAST thing I want if I'm lit.

SORRY, I didn't mean to get all technical on you guys!! I just think it's interesting.  I hope you start feeling better today, CG

I'm back!  How art thou, Jonesy?  And everyone else? alright heidi thanks for asking -- an how was your day?

how is the small spriglet/munchkin/whatever term you use in the USA for small things - rugrat/leglimpet???
I don't know about anyone else but I call him an STD I can't get rid of.

I'm only kidding!

We're doing well, the day was lovely, finished Kurt Vonnegut's latest.  I love the man.  How was your editing?
oh hoh!  that's a good one...

editing went in a fairly procrastinatey way --- as was interrupted by next door neighbour for lunch with glasses of rose and bread and cheese.

so then felt too pissed for more editing.  life huh. not so bad, really.  specially in LA.  next door neighbour is an old roue, a gay lawyer and fricking hysterical most of the time!
Nope, life's not so bad.  Read in another thread about you never being bored - that's the beauty of ADHD!  I know that I am bored and the time has come to hold my head under water when its exciting to sit around with a group of girls and talk about nail polish!  Life is too short and Bush's presidency too long to waste precious breath on such things.  Tis the one thing I do like about ADHD - I don't know alot about one single thing but I know a little about everything!  Ahh, I'm rambling.  I need to read The Scarlett Letter.  If only Hawthorn wrote like Vonnegut . . .

Edit:  I'm not reading it by choice, but for English class.  I'm sure the man has wonderful things to say, I just can't read them!
HeidiMarie38636.7618287037 [QUOTE=chjones]"I don't know alot about one single thing but I know a little about everything"

oh how true that is of me!  including scarlett letter here goes:
 (don't read on if don't want plot give away)...

girl has sex with priest won't tell village who father is and priest too cowardly to say it is his.  hahahaha  has to walk around with big A for Adulteress on her clothes.

or did i remember that wrong.  probably.  the rest isn't important as far as i remember.  great.  put that in your class report.  big, fat F  ---

life is great when you don't worry about the details.  (but then again don't they say God is in the details.  sheesh - that's where i have been going wrong).



[/QUOTE]

you remembered it right - my favorite part is when the mom and Pearl (the priest's daughter)  met the priest in the woods

mom tells pearl  "you mustn't talk in the marketplace of what goes on in the woods."

That line has stuck with me from highschool
[QUOTE=Brookelea]i don't want to be a party pooper but did you know that a hangover is actually a sign of some brain damage??

glad to see you feeling better countrygirl..
[/QUOTE]

don't know how i missed this yesterday, Brooke , but somehow that strikes me hilarious!
i'm glad it does 

according to the drug and alcohol gurus, i'm technically braindead

but at least my brain died in style



going on 2 days of sobriety

still can't drink my coffee can ya have a 2 day hangover?  - i mush really be brain damaged!

yup, a 2 day hangover is not good though..
drink loads of water...
Us ADD'ers are bad with details.  No wonder I gave up organised religion!  It all makes sense now.

Thanks for the summary, that's about what I remember of it too!  Oh, I remember names -- Hester Prynne, and daughter is Pearl . . But that extra detail won't bump me up to a D.  *sigh*

Oh well, off to reading . . Have a lovely evening, I'm sure I'll throw the book across the room and will be back later, splitting my time between Googling for Cliffsnotes and farting around here (Have I mentioned how much I love Kurt Vonnegut?  He's the greatest.)

g'luck with it... maybe you could just get a dvd version
instead??? (mind you with hollywood's usual 'artistic licence'
attitude of course, it could do more harm than good).
