I joined an adult ADHD support group. The first meeting was incredible! walking into a room with 30 other people who's life experience is so similar to yours was amazing!
Early days but i think it will make a real difference in my life.

Genuine
I've been in a convesation about my next relationship. (Don't worry none too soon)
I was talking to a freind about Who or what kind of person I would be with.
She used the word Genuine.. Good word . Very good word.
I am lucky enough to have a few close friends that are genuine.
So i think I knowe what i'm talking about.
Hope so anyway. :)

Slices of Life
I'm on my way home from visiting my brother in Telkwa British Columbia . Sitting in the airport in Prince George . I've had an amazing week . I saw a number of animals I've not seen in nature before , met some really nice people , ate healthy and delicious food ( including a curried chicken thanksgiving dinner that was amazing!! ) walked dogs two or three times a day , slept in a cozy cabin heated by a wood stove , used a real chain saw for the fist time , had an ATV ride , took about 800 pictures and best of all got to know my brother Al and his partner Brenda much better .
A very worthwhile trip .
A full report and pics to follow!

Western Views
I'm in Vancouver airport waiting for a connecting flight to Prince George. Where I'm picking up a car to drive to Telkwa to visit my brother . Have not seen him since 2004 . Can't wait to get there . He's got cancer . I hate cancer . Really . Love it here . Maybe a move west is what I need to break the bonds . Sometimes feel like i'm suffocating back home. Work , bills, ADHD , depression all adding up .
But what would I do without my friends? Something to think about that's for sure .

ADHD
ADHD has been on my mind a lot lately. Well that and 100000+ other things but i do keep coming back to the ADHD. The medication I'm on (VyVanse) is helping. I spent all of Friday and Saturday at home cleaning and reorganizing . I made HUGE strides in the living room ,office and dining room and good progress in the kitchen and my bedroom. The Bathroom is now very Clean too :) . At work Sunday i did work that would have taken about 7 hours before in 3. tedious work BTW. REALLY Tedious . Still have irritability problems especially at work and still procrastinate. And I'm definitely impulsive sometimes. Hopefully at some point I can get past all that , I'm looking for a coach now . So expensive but hopefully worth it. tricky though. the one i liked after talking to her turns out to have abandoned a fellow ADDer i met Monday half was through her sesssions and has not paid her back or completed the sessions 4 years later. I'll be looking elseware.
I also joined a Adult ADHD support group. Wow 30 people in that same room as me with almost all of the same issues and challenges. I was euphoric leaving the meeting . Looking forward to more .
Found out that i can NOT have more than a beer or two at a time. Very adverse emotional effects . This turns out to be a good thing. Far less embarrassing for sure!
Not the most coherent post but all I have for now . Far more on my mind but it will have to wait.

Allan Cross posted the above article on his blog. Robot DJ's I think we've had them for a while actually Radio had soul even 10 years ago. It lost it a long time ago.
This is my response on his blog.
Inevitable and yet disappointing as well. And it almost is the future until the lights go out on radio forever. As you say in the article radio’s charm is that connection between the DJ and the listener. I personally don’t feel that connection anymore. Martin Streek at the edge was the last DJ I really felt connected to in Toronto. His firing and the aftermath were that last straw as it were. Playlists are pre-packaged DJ’s are generally not music fans they are robots either spewing banalities or trying to shock the listeners.
So an actual robot? No surprise. And I won’t be listening.
