So now I'm off to become an African Tribesman


Let me begin with a disclaimer for this site overall. I am a millennial. This means I have had spellcheck since I was like, 8 so I can't spell at all. No red line, no problem. This blog doesn't give me a red lie. I checked to make sure by typing in "ludfary" but then got all panicked that maybe ludfary was an SAT word I never knew about I should know so I googled it.



Voila. No auto-spellcheck in blogs and I don't care enough about you, dear (1) reader to go through and check it again.


Anyway came across this today and I now feel a whoel lot better about my ADD. I'm not merely a product of an overstimulated generation whose attention spans make goldfish look like Buddha. I am just meant to be a gatherer of...I wonder what kind of berries they have in Africa. I love blackberries. They have blackberries at Pinkberry. Mmmm Pinkberr- wait I think mexican sounds better...


"One hypothesis is that the behaviour associated with ADHD helps people, such as hunter-gatherers and pastoral nomads, who lead a peripatetic life. Since today's sedentary city dwellers are recently descended from such people, natural selection may not have had time to purge the genes that cause it."


So RLS- (restless leg syndrome) real disease or scam? Either way I definitely have that too.

I would gather eggs.

I agree...they should have spell check.
