or if that was “Fuck I’m slow, I can’t make that shit.”

That's pretty much what makes a lot of catchers good baserunners.
They know they can’t run, so they play it conservative and don’t make a lot of mistakes on the basepaths. Sort of the opposite of BP.
"I bet that sex Bengals fan is really pissed now." -DT3428
well then it wasn't bad baserunning
calling it just “baserunning” running sounds weird, so I’d call it good baserunning
if there were 2 outs, I'd question it
but there’s nobody out. could be out there for a bit.
As long as it took him to get loose in the 1st, keep him as warm as it takes.

Serious question
how many people make enough from illustrating for it to be a “day job”?
I don't argue I correct.
it is a serious question
i asked it because i didn’t know the answer because i am out of my element.
I don't argue I correct.
It's cool. It's definitely a legitimate question.
What I need is a year off and enough money to hire an illustration agency. It’s all about the marketing at this point, since I have a solid portfolio developed. Also, I suppose I need the free time to actually execute any freelance jobs I get offered. Right now, with the current job I have, that’s not possible. And it makes me sad.

I forgot how cold they must be.
I’d like to take this opportunity to say San Francisco is the most overrated fucking city in America. They brag about they’re climate, yet they end up wearing jackets in July. And there’s also nothing to do there. Alcatraz is mildly interesting one time, but if you spend a week or so there you’re going to be bored out of your mind by the end (and dealing with 50 degree weather in the dead of summer.)

i was diagnosed with it along with dyslexia so many years ago
ADhD never seemed like a big deal to me, just had to work to compensate for my lack of natural concentration.

but then again by being diagnosed at a young age i learned how to manage it, and my parents never used it as an excuse. My mom has students who tell her that it isn’t their fault they can’t behave or do their work because they have ADhD, drives her fucking crazy.
I don't argue I correct.
I've used it to get some extra tutoring, but never any crap like that.

it really depends
if it is diagnosed and proper steps are taken to help the child succeed, then no it isn’t an over diagnoses. If a label is just stuck on the kid and he just stuck on ritilan and there are no non medication steps to help him compensate than it is a problem.
Also people without ADD are diagnosed with it to give them the magic pill, and speed makes it worse.
I don't argue I correct.
I'm speaking to the second part
I know several guys that just hate studying (like nearly everyone else) and use it to get ritalin. It’s ridiculous.

As somebody who was diagnosed in first grade
i was given medicine in second grade. I just felt out of control as a child, and was always in trouble. I was given medicine, my grades went up and my behavior greatly improved. I learned to manage without medicine over the years and by high school I stopped taking it and did fine.
In 5th grade my parents insurance changed and they stopped covering my child psychiatrist, and i started seeing my family physician, who didn’t understand ADD or its medication at all. She changed my dosage, and my grades and behavior feel off a cliff.
I don't argue I correct.
the drugs just made me feel weird
didn’t help my grades at all, then I struggled for years wondering if I should be taking drugs or not as my grades never really improved no matter what I did. Once I said fuck the drugs I was able to learn how to better cope with it, which I think would have been the best thing to just do originally.
you may not have had ADD
it may have been a bad diagnoses. Honestly the drugs didn’t really do much of anything to me other than help me feel more in control, and make me a bit thirsty. I mostly just had better concentration and more self control with the medication.
Like things like doing 15 second grade math home work questions became much easier with meds.
I don't argue I correct.
I'm fairly certain i do
I could cite a large number of reasons why, but the concentration problems and H part of the ADhD are the biggest indicators, and they both still affect me to this day.
i lack self discipline
which is the biggest reason I am not sure about getting a Ph.D (I just can’t see myself having the self discipline to write a dissertation), but there are plenty of other things I am good at. So I just kind of view it as a personality trait that makes me qualified for somethings but not qualified for other things.
I don't argue I correct.
thats sort of the way I see it
its kind of a personality trait, and the ADD scare was so overblown that it got out of hand and the real “problem” wasn’t being addressed. I do well in school now, just that it took longer for me to figure out how to do it.
yeah, i was lucky
my mom is a teacher, so she realized that the school was trying to put a label on me to calm me down and fix their problem of a kid who created distractions but to not actually fix my problems.
She found a great child psychiatrist (who is also dyslexic and has ADD), and he isn’t real big on drugs so we tried a whole bunch of non-medication options first, and those failed so we moved on to drugs, and we worked really hard to find the write dosage.
I don't argue I correct.
I jumped around with some of the pych people
sounds like I probably never found the right one or the right dosage. probably wouldn’t have mattered if I did, because I never liked taking the meds anyway.
meds may not have worked for you
but when my first medication stopped working after 6 years (I went back to him after a brief failure with my personal physician) we went through a whole process of finding a new med.
I don't argue I correct.
the medication was "effective" in its own way
but it didn’t really help me much with school and such. you’re lucky it helped you, I’ve nver talked to anyone that told me the meds helped.
well i started taking them in second grade
and all the sudden i could concentrate when teachers taught and concentrate enough to do my home work.
I don't argue I correct.
there are too
there is just Attention Deficit Disorder where concentration struggles.
Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity means that besides lacking concentration you are well hyper.
I don't argue I correct.

It was genius engineering around the cap by Pat Riley.
Not just any GM could have gotten LeBron and Bosh in a S&T to retain Bird Rights on every player he wanted from the old team.
He had help by the fact that the union happened on his team, but he had to be really smart to pull it off.
