School was hell for me until I got older and learned how to force myself to concentrate. The psychiatrist said that I was able to get through just fine since I have a high IQ. I think the lowest grade I got in 12th grade was a 96. And that was civics class. I hated that class.
I guess I have to agree with that. Everyone at my work knows that I am not normal. But I haven't heard the word squirrel in a while. He he he
yeah a high IQ was all that saved me.
You're exactly correct. The psychiatrist told me that I failed the easy questions on the IQ test but the harder the questions got the better I did. It's really bizarre.
I skipped 5th grade.
Ohh Depression is my lifelong companion.
There's no way I would have been able to skip it. I spent too many times in the corner for being too fidgety.
Rotflmao!!!!!Ohh Depression is my lifelong companion.
Proud to be your friend.
Even if I am a heathen
I would never have skipped it but was in a 1 room school so I learned everything that was going on. Well some of everything.
I did some weird stuff when I was in elementary school. My sister was always calling me a retard. But later on I was the one helping her through high school when I was two years younger than her.
Shrinker told me I could be classified as having ASD.
That makes a lot of sense. Many people with a higher IQ have difficulty in regular classes. And just from knowing you for a few years I can tell you're really intelligent.
Omg that is crazy. I'm still at 24.
and I got news for it. I hate it too!
You probably have ADHD as well.It's called a paradoxical effect, because it coordinates and organizes the neurotransmitters, resulting in relaxation. All kinds of speed always had that effect on me. Course it also aged me about 10 yrs.

(we can support him while he's in school, but good god he eats like a fucking elephant!)
Thank you Lucy!Fortunately, it's not a contest - but you are still a winner for not smoking
The male species does eat a ton of food. I'm glad he's able to help you guys out with the grocery bill. I will invite my nephew and brother-in-law over to eat and I have a huge roast and I get like one bite out of it. And all of a sudden the whole thing is gone. Forget about leftovers. There are none.Saw the same thing when I attended a technical school; short terms, fast classes, 4.0 GPA across the board. My son is just starting on his first 2 yrs of an electrical engineering degree, and seeing the exact same thing -- both of us just do LOADS better with short terms and fast classes. He's actually tutoring math, which counts as "community service" so he can keep receiving food stamps, to help us out.

Thank you Lucy!
Watched a couple on Youtube and just thought how silly it was.
Oh and Kudos to the 4.0!!!!!!
All of it will stand him in good stead when he applies to GA Tech in 2 yrs.
Atcha...try some Kratom, bet the adhd disappears quickly.....
Bob, u have the electric fence in place for the triker-teeters?
Naah have big motion activated flash units.
Knew you'd have this event covered.....
It's been really cold the last couple of nights here. I guess it's finally making its way to you. That really cracked me up what you said about not knowing when to stop exhaling. I can so relate. LOLHell, everytime I walk into a vape shop I feel like I'm in a cloud competition. My own little wisps just kinda get lost in the fog -- remember how frustrating it was to smoke outdoors when it's really cold? You can't tell when to stop exhaling.
And speaking of really cold... we got the cold rain on schedule today, so it's gonna be like 35 in the morning... brrrrrrrrrrrr.... and Monday morning, maybe even colder? Might get some frost. Not unseasonal; I think our traditional date of first frost is Oct 25 or something like that; March 25 for last frost. But all gardeners know those are only rough guidelines, and mother nature has a mind all her own.

Well it's only 40 something here but it's still cold in my room. The thing I hate most about cold-weather is the static electricity that goes with it. It's bad enough when you brush your hair that it sticks out all over the place and then when you touch anything metal pop! Clothes stick to you the clothes stick to the jacket you're wearing. And when you take your jacket off it's an electric field!
It almost never gets that dry here.
