1. Why is an alarm clock going "off" when it actually turns on? 2. Why is it called a "drive through" if you have to stop? 3. Why does mineral water that has "trickled through mountains for centuries have an expiry date? 4. Why are Softballs hard? 5. Why is an electrical outlet called an outlet when you plug things into it? Shouldn't it be called an inlet. 6. Why do most cars have speedometers that go up to extreme speeds when you legally can't go that fast on any road? 7. Why is it called "getting your dog fixed" if afterwards it doesn't work anymore? 8. Why is it called taking a dump? Shouldn't it be leaving a dump? 9. Why do they sterilize needles for lethal injections? 10. If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons? 11. Why does Donald Duck wear a towel when he comes out of the shower, when he doesn't wear any pants? 12. If an orange is orange, why isn't a lime called a green or a lemon called a yellow? 13. What colour would a Smurf turn if you choked it? |

Your question got me to thinking and I went out and found the description of ADHD. The problem is that all 7 of my grand kids fit this, and have for the majority of their lives. To meet the diagnostic criteria according to the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and statistical Manual of psychiatric disorders) a couple of aspects have to be considered to meet a diagnosis of adhd: A. Six (or more) of either 1) Inattention, or 2) Hyperactivity/Impulsivity Symptoms must have persisted for at least 6 months to a degree that is maladaptive and inconsistent with developmental level: 1) Inattention often fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in homework, work, or other activities often has difficulties sustaining attention in tasks or play activities often does not seem to listen when spoken to directly often does not follow through instructions and fails to finish schoolwork, chores, or duties in the workplace (not due to oppositional behavior or failure to understand instructions) often has difficulties organizing tasks and activities often avoids, dislikes or is reluctant to engage in tasks that require sustained mental efforts often loses things necessary for tasks or activities (e.g. toys, school assignments, pencils, books) is often easily distracted by extraneous stimuli is often forgetful in daily activities 2) Hyperactivity/Impulsivity Hyperactivity often fidgets with hands or feet or squirms in seat often leaves seat in classroom or in other situations in which remaining seated is expected often runs about or climbs excessively in situations in which it is inappropriate (in adolescents or adults, may be limited to subjective feelings of restlessness) often has difficulty playing or engaging in leisure activities quietly is often "on the go" or often acts as if "driven by a motor" often talks excessively Impulsivity often blurts out answers before questions have been completed often has difficulty awaiting turn often interrupt or intrudes on others (e.g. butts into conversations or games) I would be willing to bet that most kids fit this, at least for the required 6 months |

Which brings up another question ... the hair on my head is salt/pepper but if I grow a beard it is grey? Now then, is this because a man shaves and uses an alchohol based after-shave? If that is the case, does that mean that if you have grey hair, you are an alcoholic? Heard one about the guy that went to the store to buy beer, was asked for ID but found he had forgotten to bring it. The cashier asked him to unbutton his shirt, with a puzzled look he complied. The cashier rang up his purchase. He asked what just happened and she replied you had grey chesthair ... you're over 21 ...  Nowadays the cashier would have to check my back instead of my chest!!! :lol: :lol: |

Mr. Herb, I asked Rick did he realize what he was getting into when he married me and he says yes. He says he would'nt want me any other way. When he gets a little upset with me which is rare I remind him of my ADHD.

Sunshine, I know you didn't write all these so you won't get mad if I have some fun with them. I've read it before, still funny though. Thanks, Duke Can you cry under water? Yes, as long as it isn't one of those busting loose cries, one can also laugh underwater as long as it isn't one of these kinds of laughs- .How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered? It is still murder, just done to a public personage Like Lincoln and Kennedy, etc., plus local public persons of lower power can be assassinated. One can assassinate someone's reputation, but I never heard of murdering someone's reputation? Why do you have to "put your two cents in".. . but it's only apenny for your thoughts"? It is two cents ,worth, and people like me usually put more than a pennies worth of opinions in, some think I put hundreds of dollars,worth, in=Tooo much! It's only a penny for your thoughts because people usually don't want two cents worth, that's the reason they don't ask me, I'll give'em more than they asked for. Where's that extra penny going to? It either stays in the brain or in my case there is no extra penny and I wind up in debt in need of more pennys. Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes youwere buried in for eternity? Heard the song that says "we shall wear a robe and crown"  , although the children of Israel's clothes didn't wear out for over forty years, so God could make our burial clothes last an eternity if He wanted to.Why does a round pizza come in a square box? Easier made and they stack better. What disease did cured ham actually have? Good eat'n syndrome. How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? Luggage with wheels doesn't seem to make a good space ship or rocket. Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wakeup like every two hours? What age baby? I really loved playing with our babies right after a nap or sleeping, they were so refreshed and most always real happy. If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing? Yes. Here's one, if a person that has no voice or can't speak goes to a sing, is it still called a sing? Yes. Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV? It's harder to be in a movie than on TV, most of them have to settle for ON instead of IN. Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money inbinoculars to look at things on the ground? It's cheaper than renting or buying a helicoptor, and hang gliding is frowned on downtown. Why do doctors leave the room while you change? With me it saves them a good scolding. They're going tosee you naked anyway. I think you need to get a new Dr. Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural ? Probably for the same reason you have a pair of "panties", but a bra is still a "bra". Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to ahorrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat? Some people do like burnt toast and I've seen people that love to burn their wieners on a grill until it is black. Besides the smell of burnt toast gets one's attention. :lol: Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane? Well of course, you have to have two people in the vehicle, I don't think a patrolman wants to go to court on that one, I sure wouldn't pull one over and make a scene if I were a patrolman. If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of acoconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat? He could have, but wanted to keep his job OoooN TV longer, that would have been a short show or they would have to have named it "Gulligan was stranded on an Island one time". Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs! Evolution ! If Wiley E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, whydidn't he just buy dinner? If your favorite dinner was "Road Runner" were would you by it? Nowhere, You'd have to catch it. If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from? That's funny, Mineral oil, I think( no web search). They name it baby oil to help sell it. How would mom's like to hear, "Hey, this is made for something else, put it own your baby! Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune? When I hum them both at the same time, it sure seems like the same tune to me, my head hurts. Why did you just try singing the two songs above? Try? I did it in answer to a dumb question, my head hurts, I'm dumb too for answering the question. Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere,but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt? If someone has an asteroid in their butt, "Preparation H" is sure not the answer ! |
