What is Attention Deficit Whatchamacallit?

Question

One my psychiatrists said I probably have Attention Deficit something or other. He was trying to explain it to me, but he tends to ramble on and on like my sister does sometimes when i'm trying to watch tv. Have you seen that new show called psych? That was pretty funny. I was staying in a hotel when I caught the season premiere, but it was on kinda late and I had to get up early. I hate getting up early. It's so.... early. I'm not a breakfast kind of person. Unless it's McGriddles. OOOOOHHHHH Have you had a McGriddle? They so do not taste good for ya. But what is good for you anymore? I think at one time or another the surgeon general has determined that everything is bad for you. Can you imagine being a surgeon? Holding somebodies life in your hands. I found a cut on the back of my left hand the other day. I have no idea how it got there. I can't think of anything that I might have done that would have cut it. I think it might be getting infected too.

Yahoo, just does not give you enought characters to work with. Some people you just can't work with at all. I had a boss once that hated me. Well it was pretty much mutual, she'd put words in my mouth and then get mad at me for them. She'd get mad at me, for something she EXPECTED me to say. How crazy is that? I mean i've done some pretty crazy stuff in my time. Like when my girlfriend and I at the time went with a couple of other friends. I don't remember who they were. I remember there were four of us. But I can't remember who the other two were. Ain't that crazy how the mind works? Some stuff you can remember clear as a bell, other stuff is all foggy. Foggy like the other night driving home. I had to drive at like 15mph because it was so foggy out, and my headlights barely did any good at all. Of course it doesn't help that they're not adjusted correctly. I think the mechanism that adjusts them is broke. I can't seem to get them straight. Hang on, out of char again

Have you heard the new George Straight song? Not "Size Matters" although I do like that one too. I like country music. I think it speaks more to the everyday person. And I can understand the words. Not like that pop or rap crap that's out there. It has nothing to do with me. I can't relate. Oh, speaking of relations... my brother called me the other day. Turns out, he thinks my dog and my cat might be in kahoots. No, not the club kahoots. Although I did just run into a friend of mine that said she started working at kahoots. Her boyfriend dumped her. Just out of the blue. Ha. "Blue Clear Sky" That's funny. It's another George Straight song. You know he called it that after hearing Forest Gump say "Blue Clear Sky." He was going to go with "Clear Blue Sky." OH!! Sky Masterson. That was his name. I've been trying to remember that for a week now. It was a trivia question on the radio. What was the name of Marlon Brando's character in Guys and Dolls?

Well, anyway. What do you think?

Patricia... thanks, but your answer is just too darn long.

Answer 1

If you often find yourself calling people "what's his name", or the thing in your hand a "whatchamacallit", you may want to change your attitude. In a series of new experiments, researchers are finding that your preconceived views about learning can affect what it is you hope to remember. Memories, in part, seem to grow stronger or fade away based on where you stand in the nature versus nurture debate: Do you feel smart people are born that way, or can anyone become the next Albert Einstein under the right conditions?

Answer 2

You're referring to Attention Deficit Disorder. This is a very complex disorder with more symptoms than just a short attention span. It's usually found in children, however there is also a form of Adult ADD. The disoder is too long to describe in here. I suggest you search it and get more information.

Answer 3

"Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (formerly known as ADD) is a neurological disorder, usually diagnosed in childhood, which manifests itself with symptoms such as hyperactivity, forgetfulness, mood shifts, poor impulse control, and distractibility.[1] In neurological pathology, ADHD is currently considered to be a chronic syndrome for which no medical cure is available. Pediatric patients as well as adults may present with ADHD, which is believed to affect between 3-5% of the human population."

Answer 4

My ADD is whatever I uncover uninteresting - that's regularly the whole thing that "will have to" be attended to and is not any a laugh - aside from expenditures, which I pay instantly, earlier than I fail to remember them in conjunction with so much else.

Answer 5

When your doctor diagnosed you with ADD did he provide a summary?

Answer 6

I think you are making fun of other people and should be prevented from reproducing.

Answer 7

its really not that funny
