I've been thinking about starting an Adults with ADHD support group in my city, because there aren't any I can find. I was wondering if you had any information that point me in the right direction.

Have a look at Meetup.com to see if their service might help you. You can also advertise on other web sites.

You need a place to meet. Church halls are often available to rent (you would need some way to pay for it if they can't do free), or maybe there's some kind of association that has space (like a learning disabilities association). One group I used to belong to met once a month in a room at a restaurant, so we all just paid for our food and that was the only thing we had to worry about.

You also need to figure out what you want your group to be for. Is it going to be primarily social, or are you going to try and help each other figure out solutions to your challenges, or a combination of purposes? That could have an impact on where you meet and when.

That's what I can think of right now. Maybe some of my followers have thoughts about such a group!

Once you get this you must share 5 random facts about yourself. Then pass it on to your 10 favourite followers. No backsies! :)

Random facts?! Um.

1. The occasional reblogs and likes that may happen at 3-4am overnight? Not queued. I haven’t been able to sleep through the night (from say, 11p-6a) for a long time. So tumblr/FB/reddit/etc etc gets a lot of reading done. Today marks 10 months and a week and 3 days of insufficient sleep. Don’t ever be surprised if I’m awake and online at 3.45am.

2. Given a choice, I will almost always opt for travel in terms of vacation plans. I tend to plan and plot for ten days and then settle at an overall 8 to 9 days away from the office. My explanation for all travel tends to be: theatre. When in doubt, it prevents people from pestering too much about why I travel so much and tending to travel by myself.

3. Favourite number: 6. A perfect number (1+2+3 = 1 x 2 x 3). :)

4. There is always, always(!) a song from a musical that is (in)appropriate for any situation I find myself in. Better yet if I can actually hum a bar or two. (Sometimes this results in a song or two from Sweeney Todd, or Curtains or Anything Goes).

5. I'm more likely to be happy to talk about the theatre I see than the latest popular television program... Primarily because I go and see a lot more theatre than I do for things on the silver screen.

*\(^o^)/* 18, 22, 34, & 40

Hi ^.^ 

18. Who would you really like to just punch in the face?

The guy that is in one of my tutorials. Ughhh I hate him so much. He is just so pretentious and full of bullshit, I can’t stand him. I don’t think I ever hated someone as much as I hate him. 

22. Do you have a secret talent? If yes, what is it?

No, I don’t think I have one ;’( 

34. What was your last dream about?

The last one I remember was like month ago and I dreamed about how facial wipes from Primark are poisonous because they are sprayed with some toxic gases. But I was really drunk when I went to sleep so that kinda explains it lol

40. Do you prefer sunrises or sunsets?

Sunsets because it’s to damn hard to get up in time to see a sunrise. Also, sunsets are more beautiful.

bored-random said: How long have you been a firefighter? How’d you end up in that field?

I've been a firefighter for 3 years now, volunteer. I actually ended up firefighting because my high school boyfriend was in the fire department and I thought it'd be fun lol. I wanted to be a firefighter when I was little, but when my parents wouldn't let me join the fire department in my town when I was old enough, I kinda lost hope on it. They're stilled not thrilled that I want to make this my actual career, but they're accepting of it now =)

15. Favorite song? Right now, I don’t know. I listen to a lot of different kinds of music. “When She Says Baby”, “19 You and Me”, “Southern Comfort Zone”, and “Dark Horse” are probably the ones I want to hear most these days.16. Favorite movie? Fantasia/Fantasia 2000. I’m a huge band geek and I love art, so those things mixed together are amazing for me. I fell in love with Fantasia when I was 3 years old ^.^19. Do you want a church wedding? Never really thought about it. I was never one of those kids who dreamed about their wedding day. I feel like something outside would fit me better though. Somewhere with trees and grass and a nice breeze blowing.24. Baths or showers? Showers unless I’m sore and need to soak muscles lol.29. Have you ever been skinny dipping? In my bathtub.37. Favorite swear word? Lol. I drop the f-bomb a lot. Product of the firehouse.63. Biggest fear? Losing someone I care about very much.87. Do you keep a journal? Not really. I have a pocket-sized notebook I usually carry around with me to write reminders and to-do lists in. I use that sometimes to write stuff if I’m particularly bothered or pensive.

So, finally catching up on Bliss & I was wondering: Do you end up a lot of research or do you just know a lot pregnancy and the different things that happen with it?

So. Much. Research. I’m going to be getting online ads for diapers and formula for the next ten years. Not even kidding, I easily spent four or five hours researching one tiny detail that’s all of ten words in the story. I hope my research paid off and that the end result was realistic enough. I’m always hesitant to write about something I know so little about and have never experienced firsthand (or secondhand), but in the same spirit, it’s a hugely awesome challenge. There’s a fine line between interesting and improbable. One rare complication is believable, but add too many and you lose credibility. Or so I think. 

That being said, I’ve really enjoyed learning so much about pregnancy and natural childbirth. Still don’t think it’s in the cards for me to be a mama, but if or when that comes, I’ll be grateful I decided to write this story. :)

Thanks for asking.
