LOL! What would happen if a person with severe [a href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention-Deficit_Disorder"]Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder[/a] had a TV shopping show? Hit the [a href="vny!://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UA9KFAXizs4"]link[/a] and find out.
Uhm. It's not something to laugh about, really. I've worked with kids with ADD. It's not easy.
as a person with ADD/HD and LD problems I don't find that funny. We can't help it.

No one said you could help it, but that's okay, I'll put your name in the "doesn't think it's funny" column.
thanks

That's my feeling. It'd be a very short list because practically everything is "not funny" to someone.
There was another one on there called "Sessions". SO funny!

Are you guys dissing me because I didn't like the video? I just don't find making fun of someone's disability funny.
Guess I'm too sensitive. People think ADD is some joke, its not its messed up my life and I so wish I could be like everyone else but I can't and continue to struggle.

That's possible.

No one says it's a joke, stop putting words in my mouth. But, humor is in the eye of the beholder and nothing is sacred. I mean, people make fun of me all the time because I'm so incredibly handsome (and well-hung) and you don't see me getting all bent out of shape over it. (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/14.gif)
Relax, SD, or you'll die all tensed up.

Yeah I get tensed up too much, just got to take a deep breath sometimes.
I have C.R.A.F.T. disease, but I don't mind if people make fun of me, because I usually forget it quickly.

I think that whole thing of girls liking taller guys is a myth, its the opposite for me, they run the other direction.
So do you take your lunch to work, or do you walk.
no they think I'm a monster apparently. When I'm in line they turn around don't realize I'm there and they freak out.
Switching from TB's IQ shortfalls (snicker) to how tall you are, was almost like an ADD demo.
lol PC yup what were we talking about again?
I Can't Remember.
whats for lunch?
What is this thread all about?
I heard die up tensing? Who's dieing of a C.R.A.F.T. disease.
Its probably from the cheese singles that Kraft makes PL. Hows it going?

I dunno. Maybe it's time to start an ADD thread where each subject has to be completely different from the last one. Like the word-association thread, but in reverse.
Are we talking about goats again?

Can someone tell me where all this goat stuff with Russ start? Everyone is always talking about Russ's goats lol.
Oh okay. *waves at Russ*
Where can I find a GPS tracking system that is under $300 ish that can map out routes and such?

I'm going to go out on a limb.....to find places ?

I don't trust that that one works well. Thanks anyways.
Who said anything about me needing a GPS system? If I questioned where one can buy a good magic handcuff, does one assume that I need it? ;)
<waves back at miss PL>
I think costco has some good ones. I dont know if they are only three hundred though. The cheapest place that we found for the one we wanted was an online seller in alberta. The ones with street map capability are more than the basic ones.. and you ahve to buy the software for the driving maps. The one that I had, was 850 and had teh maps for the BC coastline and Southern BC. It was more expensive as well because its portable, waterproof, and can work through trees.. so its good for hiking in the bush. You can get bigger screen ones for cars, that speak at you as well ( I HATE things that speak to me, I would eventually kill it).
I can look into it if you want.

I'm confused now.

I would. But then I'd also clarify that want and need are often at odds. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c007.gif" border=0]
I love to confuse people, btw. (hi fives myself!)
$800ish would be too much. I'll PM you.
I'm still lost at what you asked for. Do you want a system or a tiny thing you can put in your hand if you get lost and such.

Costco has one on sale for $249.99 after $100 rebate [A href="vny!://www.costco.com/Home.aspx"]Link[/A]
Where do you get the coupon?

For most Costco rebates they would print it out w/ the receipt
Hiya 49er. Which one is it on the Costco website? I searched "gps" and didn't see one that was in your range. Do you think that you could point it out to me, 49er? Hmmm, I'll have to check out Costco then. :) Thanks for your help.

look at middle of the bottom row........its a Garmin StreetPilot i5 GPS
EDIT
here is the offer
[A href="vny!://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?whse=&topnav=&prodid=11185746&ec=BC-EC877-CatHome&pos=14"]link[/A]
cool. I knew that costco had some cheap ones... Is it on now that sale? Does it come with the software preloaded or is the street maps extra?
EDIT: Im a fool you put the link in your post.
That price is in U.S. funds, though. We would be paying a lot more here. Often you will find rebates offered there that aren't given here.
Good catch kitten. I didn't even notice that. :)
thats why I was askingif the sale was on now.. we are getting a sale soon that will give us 50 dollars off soon. Thats why we bought from that online place in Alberta.. Ill see if I can dig up the link.
I thought that was Costco.ca....no?
Ahhhh....my mistake. I was reading purelife's link
([A href="vny!://www.costco.ca/en-CA/Common/Search.aspx"]vny!://www.costco.ca/en-CA/Common/Search.aspx[/A])
It's $399.99 here. I don't know if there is a coupon.
Well, 49er is American, so I assumed he was quoting American prices. I shouldn't jump to conclusions, even if it is one of my favourite ways to exercise.
lol Kitten.
Or there is this one.

Unfortunatley for us, no 49er. we get screwed on the prices by an increase on top of the exchange rates. We also dont get the same stuff as you do.. I wish we did. Big ticket items I usually end up buying from the states, getting shipped to a post office box I keep just across the border, and then take a trip down when it comes it and bring it across myself.
isn't that illegal Russ?
You might have to pay duty on it, but it isn't illegal. By the way, Cuban cigars are legal in Canada. I think the Ivory referred to the soap, not an elephant tusk.
Yeah I realized that he meant the soap. Also absinthe is legal in Canada while its illegal here.
No its legal. thats why I do it. LOL, I travel alot so it would not be in my interest to do anything that I could get charged with.
It is legal to have a post office box AT at post office in the states... you just register as such. I get stuff shipped to that post office cause the shipping is dirt cheap within the states, and expensive to ship to canada, PLUS you have to pay extra duty and brokerage fees at a flat rate. So you get it shipped to the post office still within the states, then you go down yourself and get it, bring it to the border and fill out the forms and pay the duties yourself. Even with the gas and time going across the border, its still more worth it to do that then buy alot of specialty items in Canada....[/DIV]
ahhhh I feel really dumb talking to you guys sometimes oye.
Why? Dont be so hard on yourself.. Im 27, and I learned ALOT once I got into my twenties. You are learning everytime you question something or post/ argue about it. I myself learn alot from this forum.. I didnt know that Absinthe was illegal in the states.. its pretty potent and dangerous stuff lol.
Give yourself some time.. you will pick up lots. Talk to others and learn.. Thats how I do it. Im on alot of other websites as well that I learn from.. Reading the posts and posting my questions or responses, I sometimes get called an asshat or an idiot.. but I learn from it. Dont take critisism personally.. learn from it. I honestly used to take it hard.. now I dont. Thats one thing that Cadets helped me do...
Give yourself time and dont be too hard on yourself.
Yeah there's a lot of reasons I feel that I get treated like a little kid on here but thats neither here nor there. I'm really 'green' on life stories. I am really hard on myself because I've made so many dumb idiotic mistakes in my life I always wonder where did I go wrong or why did I let myself into this state. Past couple of months have been really hard for me. I mean I'm 20 years old and I still haven't graduated high school. Thats embarrassing.
What I'm saying is yeah I'm trying to hard. I don't really have a 'life' so to speak so I don't have stories to tell and I'm not really that funny so my posts can come off weird or forced.
Basically I dream of a life I do not have nor think I can reach and it hurts me.
