Thank you for your patience,

***************************************

If you've been diagnosed or think that you may have or know someone who has: ADD (Which is not "Attention Dumb Dork". If you had thought this, then maybe you should be looking for the Group called "Village Idiot Nut House".) Attention Deficit Disorder also called Attention of a Different Direction or ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, please join this informal Group. Although the names say disorder & implies Deficiency, we're in no way at all deficit, fully far from that idea! We just are fortunate to see the world in a different way than most of the society. We are the thinkers and creators that make life interesting for the rest of those about us.

Members who join must be either ADD or ADHD, diagnosed or suspected themselves or someone close to them to understand our ways. We are unique individuals, triangular pegs in a round world.

Members must have elsewhere demonstrated a positive attitude and be open minded to enjoy an elastic outlook on the ridiculousness parts of life. Most importantly, have a zest for life as it hits us over and over again, time after time...

Members with a Feedback of 10 and in good standing/sitting whatever with their currant eBay status of membership are welcomed.

Respect and tolerance of anther's words is absolutely imperative. With these disorders we can sometimes mean something other than way we have typed.

Members are here to share and enjoy each other's company in a purely social environment away from the eyes of others and Google.

Members, it is crucial we that each have a sense of humor, for life is too serious. Although if any member is having problems with these Disorders themselves, we can speak freely with others who understand us due to having the same types of brain miswiring.

As an eBay Group, all must uphold the Community Values established by eBay and Live World who own the property which we use here. "The Golden Rule". These especially include respecting others rights to their opinions without ridicule.

Distasteful language or adult images will not be tolerated. Such members will be removed! (This is because we as a whole will be removed. Quite simply put, our Group will evaporate!!!)

Our Group has chosen to become of eBay Private Group status so that we can converse in peace. This would mean without concerns that our words written in our group would be shared or gathered elsewhere by; non members not wanting/willing to follow our rules, eBay, or publicized on the internet, such as by Google search engines. All other parts of eBay can be picked up by Google search engines. We have nothing to hide, but sometimes we just want to share things personally, knowing who we are speaking to only, thus the Private Group status choice. We have absolutely no hidden agendas. It's just a freedom of speech issue that we are protecting. If you agree to our written thoughts posted here, wish to share in fun and become a member of our village, we welcome your application.

Life is too serious in itself, thus this Group was established for those who enjoy just the opposite. Fun! Facts show that to laugh is to live longer and feel better. A positive attitude is supposed to make everyone healthier and give life a wonderful glow. Members who join our village must feel strongly about that which is written here. (Of course we can edit if the village votes as such. )

* Proof of insanity must be shown with interest in joining this group through either a link or a share.

* Pleeze don't ever rush an idiot! Yikes, they could bite or attack if interrupted.

* Push me, kick me, cuss me, but never ever rush me. Expertise in the execution of some thoughts for some really does take time.

* Relax, life is short. Unless you come back to do it again.

* Humor is food for the soul. Although sometimes it has no taste, which is not welcomed here.

* Of all the things in life that I have lost, I miss most of all my mind. Often it had wandered, but the last time it didn't return.

* Blessed are the flexible for they shall never be bent out of shape. Be the one that you love, a pretzel!

* Happy are those who make their own mischief for they shall be ensured of a great time of merriment. That would be us!

• Carefully read all posts to be sure you fully understand and the person who wrote them.

• Re-read what you are about to post. Be sure your words cannot be easily misconstrued.

• If you feel anything happening that hints towards upsetting, please immediately contact your leader for confidentiality in repairing the matter. So far no member has reported their ability to can read minds, thus your contact is needed. Others may be reporting the same thing. Yet even if it is only you reporting, it is still upsetting and we want everyone to be happy here. Feelings make us human and by speaking them to know each other better.
