I can go with this Douglas, as one fine messy to another. Being referred to as stupid, wise, wierd, magnificent, etc is all part and parcel.... Handy stuff indeed, helps one to Grok one, is all. Peace, Maurice

Thanks Maurice. Maybe there should be an ADDs Anonymous where we could share the highs and lows. I guess that in the end it makes us mercurial and for all of the negatives I reckon we have some gifts as well. We can do stuff mere mortals can only dream of.

Sure Doug, you wanna set it up ? I'd be happy to post something on "OVERCOMING"; say eight times a year..... see CPTSD from the death of my father 1949 in "Children of the Aftermath". Discovering in 1951 that I'd had a Brother (also named Douglas) murdered by the Gestapo before I was born. Recording the deaths of many of my comrades in the Aden "Conflict", and more....... always with long overdue diagnoses - inc High Achieving Autism this year. Bit of a surprise after a life of adventure. But yes, anyway, the gifts and the dreams........ Anonymous to start with but also general light encouragement to come out, to experience catharsis via Mac's Mercurial Immortals.Substack Peace, Maurice

Hey, Maurice. Sure, that sounds like a great idea. Your own contribution sounds extraordinary. I'd be happy to kick it off, but how? Is it just another Substack?

Cheers

Douglas

Thanks Douglas, for your kind remark. Substack seems the perfect place to start, paywall free, to see what we can develop. Perhaps kick off with your own story, then our chance encounter and conversation. Progress by finding other stackers to interview. There are a few who already write diverse excellent point and counterpoint articles on the theme. I would suggest a Monthly Post, commencing in January. That would give us a healthy "Prep & Promo" period. What say Ye ? Peace, Maurice.

Hi Maurice

Just read your email. Yes, we can do this. I assume it's just the same as setting up a regular substack and I assume I can use the same email address. I will have a look at your posts and i am keen to read anything by other stackers, to give us an idea about what kind of material might work, and where there might be a need for something different. We can do the planning via email.

Cheers

Douglas
