Klocknov:
How people with ADD and ADHD use it as an excuse why they did something wrong. Last I checked that is a attention span disorder, not a I just shot you with an airsoft gun because I was bored disorder. That just gets annoying, it is like when a guy says he is really tired and then says he can't sleep due to insomnia. Come on if your tired you should be able to sleep, I have insomnia and I know I can sleep when I get tired I just have a hard time when I'm not which can keep me up for a few days at a time.

Over here in the states we used to have a one dollar coin. I don't know what happened to it but they went out of mint a few years ago and I haven't seen them since xD. We also have a half dollar with Kennedy on it but everyone keeps it just because they look cool :). I hate how US money is green and white, reminds me of those old green and black computers :P. Seems like every other country has nice colorful paper money.

Hey those terminals were great fun, I don't know how you can compare them with money. Also I would say the money is starting to gain more color finally, and if we keep adding more and more we make it harder for those bastard printing it illegally lol.

I'm sorry... but picking up FRESH and CLEAN and unadulterated American currency last summer... It smelled like crayons. I was like WTF?

Not really in circulation currency doesn't count. :P Canada has a half dollar that is still minted, but no one uses it. It's still legal tender, but it's not used on a day to day basis other than collecting.

lol the ADD ADHD thing. I always retort with.... nah... you're not that. You're just stupid or a dumbass who has to make excuses. But be glad. You don't have a medical disorder. (Or some type of paraphrase)

@fohfoh
Yeah, it's not like used money smells any better - -. US currency starts smelling like stale human after a while if that makes any sense. Wow, that sounded creepy :x
@Klocknov
The last time I used one of those terminals was maybe around 5th grade at the local library. The first time was probably in 1st or 2nd grade playing a math version of pacman (number munchers?) You'd go around trying to do arithmetic and some bogeyman would try to catch and eat you; that thing scared the crap out of me xD.
ADD and ADHD seems like it's so over-diagnosed especially amongst boys :(. It's not their fault the classes would bore the best of us. When I was a kid, prior to the ADD diagnosis craze, my parents checked me out for ADD. Turns out I just didn't care about my classes, something that lasted straight into college xD.
General study requirements for college piss me off. I will not go into a job that will require me to exercise my knowledge regarding literature or art so I should not have to drop the thousands of dollars to take these stupid required useless classes. If I only had to take the classes pertaining to my major I could gotten out of college in two years instead of four. However, I then probably wouldn't have taken intensive Japanese which turned out to be the most fun class I ever took :).

Klocknov:
I was also checked for ADD and ADHD and the doctor said I didn't have it. Though I still don't get why I hated P.E. so much, I always was super active, but for some reason I hated getting graded on it. Hell I use to ride my bike to and from school and then do another ride after school before I  came home for dinner. Also I always had my mum bitching at me, if I tried to work on a day schedule she would bitch at me for sleeping in and if I did a night schedule she would bitch at me for not being awake during the day. I performed better on the night schedule also, my grades showed it, yet she still bitched... Parents, sometimes you just can't understand them.

Oh that is another pet peeve of mine, I hate when people bitch at me due to how I sleep, it is the most annoying thing to be bitched at about. I have insomnia, my sleeping pattern isn't going to be the cream of the crop. Nor do I really want to change it to fit with other peoples just so I can say hi to them when I get home from work.
