Been wanting to ask this for a while now. How many of you guys are, or have been, diagnosed with ADD or ADHD?

In my elementary school days, there was no test let alone much knowledge on the subject, but when it did become more of a big deal later on, I got tested as an adult, and sure enough, I'm ADD. Not on Ritalin anymore (tried it and I turned into a zombie). Pot is much better, LOL.

I have never been diagnosed, but looking at Wikipedia, I would be 90% sure I have ADHD-I

Either that, or I am just a lazy fuck

If you're a lazy fuck, then you are definitely not ADHD.

ADD = minus the hyperactive part.

I remember one mom telling me, my son is not ADD, I give him lots of attention, LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Uh, ADD means the person can't focus on anything = no attention span.

However, when an ADHD or ADD person finds something they like they become obsessive to the nth degree.

EDIT: sorry, didn't see the "I"

^ Nature is a bitch. Can't believe the mom would not care for it. Makes you want to cry.

A recent survey from Thomas Cook and the Association of British Travel Agents revealed 20 of the most ridiculous complaints by holiday-makers made to their travel agent.

1. “I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts.”

2. “It’s lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during ‘siesta’ time — this should be banned.”

3. “On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don’t like spicy food at all.”

4. “We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our swimming costumes and towels.”

5. A tourist at a top African Game Lodge overlooking a water hole, who spotted a visibly aroused elephant, complained that the sight of this rampant beast ruined his honeymoon by making him feel “inadequate.”

6. A woman threatened to call police after claiming that she’d been locked in her hotel room by staff. In fact, she had mistaken the “do not disturb” sign on the back of the door as a warning to remain in the room.

7. “The beach was too sandy.”

8. “We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure.Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white.”

9. A guest at a Novotel in Australia complained his soup was too thick and strong. He was inadvertently slurping the gravy at the time.

10. “Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women.”

11. “We bought ‘Ray-Ban’ sunglasses for five euros from a street trader, only to find out they were fake.”

12. “No one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled.”

13. “It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England, it only took the Americans three hours to get home.”

14. “I compared the size of our one-bedroom apartment to our friends’ three-bedroom apartment and ours was significantly smaller.”

15. “The brochure stated: ‘No hairdressers at the accommodation.’ We’re trainee hairdressers — will we be OK staying there?”

16. “There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners now live abroad.”

17. “We had to queue outside with no air conditioning.”

18. “It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel.”

19. “I was bitten by a mosquito, no-one said they could bite.”

20. “My fiancé and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in a double-bedded room. We now hold you responsible for the fact that I find myself pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked.”

OPeTINA GORNJI MILANOVAC, Serbia — Two small boys from a central Serbian town are able to attract metal objects, acting much like human magnets, says the mother of one of them.

Sanja Petrovic, the mother of 4-year-old David, said it first came to her attention "about a month ago."

"I asked him to fetch me a spoon so I could feed his little brother, and he yelled back: 'Mom, it sticks!"' Petrovic recalled. "I found him with several spoons and forks hanging from his body."

Terrified, the 26-year-old woman -- who lives in the town of Gornji Milanovac -- phoned her sister, who discovered that her son, Luka, 6, has the same attraction.

"Other kids in the family can't do this, just the two of them," Petrovic said.

The phenomenon is rare and so far medically unexplained. Several similar cases, however, have recently been reported in Serbia, and also in Croatia and Bosnia.

"As far as I know, there is no medical or scientific explanation," said radiologist Mihajlo Dodic, who runs a practice in the Serbian capital, Belgrade. He said the cousins' magnetism borders on the "paranormal."

Luka's father, Slavisa Lukic, said doctors have examined the boys, and announced them to be perfectly healthy, adding that they should be monitored as they grow up.

"Nobody can tell us why this is happening," he said.

David's mother said her son loses his magnetic powers when he is asleep, but regains them when he wakes up and starts moving.

When he plays with his friends "anything will stick to him," she said. Afterward he will feel a little chilly and tired, she said.

Both David and Luka are happy to put on a show for to visitors. On cue, the boys proudly smile and raise their hands in the air to show that cutlery and plates stick to their bodies without assistance.

The rest of the family also seem to have grown accustomed to the peculiarity and the attention.

"It was in shock at first, but now we just try to keep the knives away from them," Petrovic says.

j/k

Shit What Makes You Laugh thread is back. Someone inserted an exploit that would crash the forum every time it was loaded. It even took several attempts to delete the post directly in the database, since it would also crash Navicat.

^ Is that like a virus?
