Look Cliff... not everyone has the attention span of a 4 year old. Most of
the people here seem to be adults without the baggage of your emotional
immaturity or particular form of ADD. You need to stop projecting your
inadequacies on others.

Here, let me simplify it for you. Set a timer, put it in your pocket and go
outside.

If a neighbor loses his mind and tries to talk with you about removing the
junk cars and old refrigerators in your front yard and the timer goes off,
just say "Excuse me, I have to go and check something on the stove."

If a plumber is working on the sewer pipe outside your house and the timer
goes off, stop staring at his butt cleavage, wipe the drool off your chin,
get control of your breathing and excuse yourself while you check the stove.

It is really very simple, Mr. Clavin.
