OK, something weird..and a little bit wonderful too...

I 'favourited' Mudcat via a thread the other day, on Firefox, from where I'm tip-tapping right now. It was a thread called 'English Folk - Peasants to Professors' and I was trying to find Barry's ADHD song which I vaguely recalled was in there somewhere...and I simply touched the 'favourite' button on a whim..

Well, now....EVERY time I come into Mudcat via that thread it comes up on Page 6 immediately and before I can touch any other button on the screen it **shoots down** in a second to Barry's post, which I've put below...and it's like he's talking to me all over again, gently trying to tell me that he could see my brain was a little like his...

It makes me smile, from ear to ear, every time I see it, every time I 'hear' him saying it...

I never got to meet Barry, but he sent me a few lovely emails, bless him..

I miss him..

As an American (we've been brought up now a number of times in this thread) Lizzie, I encourage you to check out these threads;
ADHD/ADD and http://www.healthyplace.com/adhd/parent-advocate/dyslexia-what-is-it/menu-id-916/
I not trying to insult you by posting these. My brother is dyslexic & I myself am ADHD along with my older brother, my nephew, my mother & my son. These disorders are also often known to be umbrellas that other disorders seek shelter under & sometimes seldom are ever realized. We are also sometimes known to be very "superfocused" when otherwised scattered.

Good luck
