up the ornamental beech tree outside my window,

while obsessing over something a friend said last week

    No wonder I relate so much to your posts – I too am ADHD and OCD. (Everything has to be perfect, but only for a few minutes.)
    the great illuminati brotherhood? $45 billion??? Good grief, you have ADHD, not UGD. (Unlimited Gullibility Disorder)

    In Christ,
