I still remember the day 20 some yrs ago when my Godmother told me he was doing comedy. Then one day the 'gays start talking about being friends with Boulger!! Pretty cool following his career from afar. My brush with fame!! Lol. Keep plugging Dan, you're one funny dude.

    Type 1 diabetes definitely has a genetic component. I have a 51% chance of developing it between the ages of 30-80. My mother has a 68% . I have an increased risk due to my familys history with diabetes.

    ADHD fyis…
    Hoarding behavior & clutter are often associated with ADHD insofar as it’s difficult to stay organized & you’re prone to being a loser (one who loses things) so you hold onto stuff & you feel the need to have everything in your visual field rather than stored/tucked away. When your executive functions fail, you are heavily reliant upon cues in the visual environment. Hence my fridge has 467 post-it notes.
    I’m 42 so this requires a lot of bullshitting to pass for normal. Hence feeling like a jerk for being less than 100% honest is a huge psychological issue for ADHDers.
