You are speaking my language. I have a ...Oh, Amy. You are speaking my language. I have a blogger ID, but I forgot the password, and I am too disinterested to fix that problem, so I simply post as "Anonymous." But, since your post was about household issues and ADD, I'll share a similar example. I moved into my current apartment in August 2006, and within 3 months the cold water in the bathroom sink would not turn off. It started as a drip, then progressed to a steady stream. Rather than call the super to have it fixed, I simply turned off the water source under the sink. That seemed like a reasonable and quick solution to me. Then it happened to the hot water, although not completely. If you turn off the faucet really tight, it's a very minor leak. My boyfriend wants to know what the hell is wrong with me. I've done without cold water for over 18 months, and the hot water has had a minor leak for a year. He asks how I can recycle everything, yet waste water without pause. Amy can verify this sad condition as she has been to my apartment. Yet, she's said nothing. Perhaps she, like me, understands the need to focus on things more interesting than fixing the bathroom plumbing. My air conditioner has pumped out only semi-cold air since last summer, certainly not enough to cool the apartment without also running the fan. More wasted resources. Last week, my boyfriend got fed up. (Did I mention I have a boyfriend, that we've been dating nearly a year... sorry, I digress... like Amy, I'm a little ADD and get distracted when I am bored with something... and I'm already bored with talking about my apartment problems.) He's tired of burning his hands in the bathroom and sweating throughout the night in my muggy apartment. He asked for my super's number and is going to call himself to get the problems fixed. I guess he's like Marc in that way... he sees a problem and fixes it. Well, not every problem. He, too, has a touch of the ADD, so he takes action usually only when it interests and benefits him. At least he's cute, and built, and 31 (I'm 45, yea me.) Damn, there I go again veering off course. Amy, I'm concerned. I think the effects of ADD only get worse as people age. Do you think we'll have to go to the loony bin when we are older? Wait, we don't really age, so I guess that's not a problem. Just in case, do you think we should start exploring our options?

We've been using washcloths to plug up the drain for the kids when they take jacuzzi bubbble baths (very funny but the bubbles will get way out of control). Any color will do.
