Quiet ADD definitions from MIKE - my response!!!

[Guest guest]

Re: Introducing Myself, re Hypermobile EDS, - Lana

Bonnie, I'm interested.what is the " quiet " type of ADD?

--------------

Lana -

Here's what the " American Heritage Dictionary " says,

" Quiet: 1. Making no noise; silent. 2. Free of noise, hushed. 3.

Calm and unmoving, still. 4. Free of turmoil and agitation. 5.

Restful, soothing. 6. Characterized by tranquility, serene,

peaceful. 7. Not showy or brash; restrained; unobstrusive. "

I'm not sure that Bonnie understands any of these terms. You might

need to ask someone else.

At first I thought this was coming from Lana (sorry Lana).....

And then I got the to " bottom " of the message and found out it was from

Mike.... Well????? My response??? BIG RASPBERRIES to you!!!

I beg to differ with you. I understand the CONCEPTs of the above

definitions...but it doesn't mean I'm ALWAYS that way!!! How can I be when my

brain NEVER shuts down???? That's probably why I have to hard time

meditating, when I remember to do it! ....now, where did my cell phone go???

I know it was in the car when I drove home from my dad's house last night....

forgetful? Who me???? ............what's my name? hehehehehe

WWW - thinking of tortourous ways to get back at Mike!!!

(Hey Lana??? Let's IM later tonight and make some plans, k? Now don't tell

Mike!) Darlene- you're welcome to

come in on our chat too...just get Mike out of the house and be sure to delete

the chat!!!! cackle cackle cackle
