I am related to about 5 muggles, seriously. They are extremely intelligent people, but...

Muggle #1--has ulcerative colitis, an apparent stress-related disorder. Hmm...wonder why? Nothing is unsterilized in her home, everything is pressed, folded, and stored in plastic.

Muggle #2--daughter of Muggle #1. Pulls her hair and created a bald spot in the back of her head. Stores underwear sets in ziplock baggies. Tries to maintain a house that looks "casual" but it is anything but. She knows if a crumb hits the floor and you can tell that she is anxious about it.

Muggle #3--a mean, kick-ass prosecuting attorney. I can't stand her. She is condescending and insensitive. I laugh like crazy because she has an ADHD son, but she refuses to admit there is such a disorder...he is just ill behaved according to her (I do feel sorry for him though). But, I love that he challenges her to the max.

Muggle #4--a stepford wanna-be housewife perfectionist that is in and out of mental hospitalization.

Muggle #5--a man makes the list. He folds the daily newspaper and stores it in a drawer before he leaves the house. One time I was eating a candy bar in his office and he went to the kitchen and brought me a plate. When I was almost finished, he asked "are you finished?" (was hovering). I said, "I guess" and he whisked the plate and wrapper away and washed the dish immediately.

I thought about this this morning and have concluded that if I didn't have scatterbrain problems, I would probably be downright intimidating and unapproachable because I am often serious and intense. These issues make me do goofy things that I am forced to laugh about--maybe it makes me more human to others?

I find that mowing the lawn regularly keeps the landlord from going inside the house. My friends laugh at me because the outside of my house is immaculate, and the inside is a total disaster.

Hmmmmm, these muggles you speak of......are they real or fictional? I read your list, I do walk the dog (sometimes) and I have beakfast (sometimes, if I remember). Thats about all I can claim I do on the list!

Just responding I had to go back and read it a few times to remember what was on it

Scats,

I forgot to add, This is a criteria list and if a person manages to have at least 15 of the above symptoms out of 25 they most definately are a Muggle . Dr Rae

Muggles make me sad.

Would anybody like to buy my book?

"Coping with Muggles"

Muggles is a serious disorder and can have debilitating effects on the sufferers life. I run a clinic to help people with this serious disorder. This little understood disorder can cause the sufferer to become somewhat boring, stale and emotionally stable. Unfortunetly there is no cure, but with the right medication, muggles can learn to disorganise their lives and in turn become more exiting and interesting people.

Friendships for me have been a rollercoaster ride. I have one true good friend since I was 15, but I think she is as strange as I am so therefore we deserve each other.

I have had many friends come and go, but dont keep them. I bore of them, they bore of me, I insult them (accidently), lots of different reasons.

But for sure, true friends are those people that are forgiving and understanding and always stand by you. They are few and far between. It is my goal in life, however to create a circle of friends that I can start to experience the girly stuff I have missed due to my lack of social skills. I think I am starting to figure it all out finally.

Lets all make a toast to good friends. May they live long and prosper! Cheers

Ha ha ha ha ha!!!

The only thing that made me sad was the "Has friends" line. In my experience, we ADDers have the best friends, because if they can deal with us, we know they're loyal! I'd rather have a few close friends than 20 fake ones that flake on you the moment anything turns south. Oh, that and my friends absolutely have to be able to take the initiative too--sometimes get into such a zone (for weeks) that I just remove myself from the social world, not on purpose or anything. I think I spent more time apologizing to my friends for not keeping in touch than catching up with them

And who doesn't jiggle their legs when they're sitting? You have to maintain circulation somehow!

This is true. Ton's of friends seems like it would be tiresome. I have a few that stick with me through thick and thin, and that's all I need.

I was once taking a two hour airport shuttle ride, and there was this kid sitting behind me talking on a cell phone. Probably he was about 17 years old.

For two solid hours I heard this.

"huh huh, Hey Dude you comin? cool! see ya." *Click*
"Was up dawg! you ganna be there? huhuh cool! talk to ya" *Click*
"DUDE! you comin? what? Oh yeah I'll be there leter. see ya." *Click*

This kid must of had a THOUSAND friends. I was listening to determine if there were any repeats, but I heard no evidence of it. I wonder if he forgot anyone.

Hey Floof...I just wondered if any of those friends that you do have helped at all with your packing, moving or upacking? I mean, it's okay if they didn't or if they don't live close enough, just curious...I'm not at all judging them.

I found this MUGGLES topic by Rae, and had to bring it back up...I loved it! I, personally, would find being a MUGGLES quite boring! And can definitely understand the 'disorders' Muggles may develop.

Being AD/HD...well, I suppose the grass isn't necessarily greener on the other side, eh?

HAHA, can't say I'm a muggle!! I'm not one either...It seems it would be borning being a muggle..Having adhd and a child with it too and a son with add keeps life interesting...you never know whats gonna happen.

Muggles...hmm, no I never associate with them. Only wizards and witches for me.

And here all this time I thought Muggles were non-magic people Help! watching to much Harry Potter And they won't turn it off

I can relate to everything you said, completely!Muggles DO remind me of Stepford Wives...or those people who were podded in Invasion of the Body Snatchers..

Ziploc baggies for underwear??? (I've had used zip lock baggies on my car floor...some kind of residue was left in them.)

Talk about issues. I would rather have ADHD any ole' day then act like a sanitized, starchy, neat freak.
Life is more enjoyable and I don't have an ulcer. We're not the neatest people in the world, but we have a lot of warmth and love within us. To me that's more important.goldenmoment38495.2733564815

Yeah this is an old one. :) Yes my friends did help, but I thought it would be easier to move things a little at a time, and therefore didn't take advantage of as much of their help as I could have. I don't recommend doing it that way. My back was killing me after a week of that.

As for unpacking, I better do that myself, or I'll never find anything again! I can take all the time I need for that.
