Comment on THE NATURE OF FRIENDSHIP by Gaye

I most definitely like “beings” in this context. My animals and my husband are my daily support and loving friends. Having moved recently to a farm in rural Oklahoma, I am all too aware of the lack of “girlfriends” with whom I can share and act silly. My daughter is coming to stay for awhile and she is likely my best friend of all! And we are massively silly together, as well as having the connection to talk about anything at all. FB friends keep me going also!

Actually, my daughter seems to have gotten the Martha gene and the Writer gene and the really intelligent gene but failed to get the ADHD gene

Well, I actually had nothing more to keep my attention and I did remember that I was doing chores before. I could have stayed if I had some emails to answer or several comments to respond to.

I admire you for having the discipline to tear yourself away from the computer in #11 and return to any tasks! My whirlwind of cleaning would have stopped with Facebook. I don’t have a domestic bone in my body, so I can relate. I too miss my house cleaner!

Thanks, Carol, for reading the blog. Ahhhh to have a house cleaner again! Loved coming home on Fridays to a clean house for the weekend.

I liked her….oddly she was not well received by some feminists at the time.

Well I lived 40 years of marriage and probably my nearly 15 years as single adult in this manner. In my old age I have a housekeeper, and I’m not too fussy. she makes the beds fresh sheets, etc., cleans all floors, dusts high and low, sometimes alternating with cleaning window sills.

Ihave had two and each are a tad different. What it to mpush me to do the keep the clutter more up to date. I have 10 sealed boxes of clutter ready for the Salvation Army, whenever I get around for calling them.THere is some pretty good stuff in it, but then it is the Stuff we saved for 40 years that doesn’t have to be dusted.

Further, I could easkily do 10 more boxes if I pulled out all the closets and sheds

I don’t care if they wash the floors on their hands and kness, or use a Swifter. They vacuum and really clean the bathrooms. I do the washroom/dog dish etc.

Erma was one of my favorite people ever!!! She also responded to her children’s complaints with “you’re just bored”…unless they were actively bleeding.

Karen, I do not think of it as an affliction…it is two sides of the coin. On one side I am intelligent, creative, coloring outside the lines person, on the other side I am a bit distracted, disorganized and sometimes even bewildered. It just means I have to work smarter when the ADHD side of the coin is up….

Onedia, After reading your posts on Adult ADHD – I have to admit I certainly fit a lot of the characteristics – so I certainly understand! I had joked about this with friends for years. Some days I go into a whirlwind of activity. Others I find it better to just sit down, and relax with my cat on my lap. When all my disorganization gets to be too much it helps to remind myself to just focus on one thing. Thank you for reminding us to see the humor in our affliction.
