So far, so good. I'm having a hell of a time remembering to do some of them, but I was told it would take time to make it a habit. I hate waiting.

Mention mine. I only say destructive things anyways.

Well I wouldn't want to mention your name, Toby. That would be, like, name-dropping and no-one would believe we knew you anyway!

Of course not. An upstanding community member like yourself would never be associated with a lowly trouble-maker like me.

(Must read as if Deniro was speaking)
Do you know me....do you know me...? 'Cause I don't know you....Are those words coming out of your mouth and are they aimed at me? 'Cause I don't think you know me.... If you knew me, I would know and I don't know...

Someone killed my master and now I'm a rogue?

Wow. Don't visit this thread for a day and a half and the topic really changes! I'm in too good of a mood to argue, so I'll argue later, if at all.


Speaking of which, who is Josh? Why does he suck? We must get straight to the reason of WHY he sucks!

Rogueish maybe, but not a rogue. (what a weird word, kinda like baby, bay-bee, bay-bee, really weird.)

Sorry if I wasn't clear. The quote sounded familiar, but I couldn't place it. It's similar to Travis Bickle's famous monologue, but for some reason I was thinking of Ronin (hence the masterless rogue reference). IOW, where's it from?

Was from me. I do an imitation of DeNiro where I ramble with stuff like that. BTW I got the reference. You funny man.

There's an article in the Sept 10 issue of Time on ADHD and the upswing in related drug advertising, if anyone's interested.

I'm not going to go into details at this moment...maybe later. I can tell you I have ADD...had ADHD as a young child...and it is a very real disorder...and there is a lot of evidence it exists...and the fact is that most ADD people respond very well to medication. ADD can be misdiagnosed...and a lot of ADD behavior is also due to growing up with the disorder. Because of how you were treated while growing up...you may have a number of behavioral issues that come from how people reacted while you were a child, to a disorder they didn't know you had.

The best book on ADD you can get is called Driven to Distraction. As a person who went through 6 months of intense weekly therapy and treatment...I can tell you there is clarity on the other side. Don't just deal with the medication issues...you have to dig into your past and find out what drives you...and how ADD affected you.

There are a lot of myths out there...and a lot of people who don't want to admit something like this could exist, mainly because they fear the disorder...but trust me...face it...and you'll be fine. Also, there is a lot of great support material on WebMD. And as always...you can write me with any questions you have...I am currently working on an ADD book.

for the orginal author

I didn't read all 11 pages of repsonses it seems people were going back and forth about adhd. But I just wanted to tell you how adhd and the ways I have been treated. I took the test during my 2nd year of law school. Scored off the charts. For about 4 years I put off taking the test. I thought adhd was a crutch. As a camp counselor in college I had parents come up to me with their kids rialin and say give it to timmy when he starts acting up. To this day as I still get upset when parents blame their childrens actions on adhd( I am a juvenile public defender).
After I took the test I started on drugs. I went through 4 or 5 types, most made mw sweat up a storm or other side affects which distracted me. I eventually tried adderall and I am now on a time release version of the drug.
There are alot of lifestyle changes you can make which help deal with adhd, more sleep, less beer, and better eating habits to name a few. I have also found that taking the time to tidy up my work and living spaces helps a great deal. But when I stop taking my adderall( forget to refill the perscription) these changes don't help. The only way to describe it is that my world gets cloudy.
I never realized that this was a physical problem. I graduated from college with honors and was accepted to and graduated from law school. But without realizing that I wasn't lazy or a goof off. I would slack and slack and then bust my ass to finish a project or a paper, get a good grade and than start the whole cycle again. With adderall, changing my personal habits and accepting that my "mental" condition is also a physical one I broke the cycle that had run my life since I was nine.
How you deal with your add or adhd is your decision, I am just happy that you now know what your dealing with.
