155. Too bad the ADD/ADHD forum didn't make the cut

Mon Jun 29, 2026, 06:02 PM

12 hrs ago

maybe many of us were too distracted to post.

I always assumed you were here posting under another name.

You probably don't remember but do you recall telling us to stop talking about chicken? Cornflake chicken?

Thanks for putting up with us for as long as you did!
