Sorry to display my ignorance. It's pinned with experience. Amphetamines are evil. I'm glad they are discovering some alternative chemistries to replace their use.
“Amphetamines are evil.” Lovely...perhaps misuse is wrong, perhaps there is evil use of them. There are evil applications of anything, cars, guns, drugs, alcohol etc. I detect a total lack of medical or psychological basis, training, etc in your comments. I observe ignorance per se your anecdotal “observations” aside.
Based on your red flag list, everyone I know must be suffering from ADHD. And I thought these were just character flaws.
In this technological age, the dreamers don’t stand a chance.
Tell me about it.
Life is too fast, too short, and too full of insanity for dreams and dreamers these days.
Well then, we are going to have to find our edge.
:-)
Great, now I have the movie “Speed” stuck in my head.
“We’re going too fast, we have no brakes, we’re gonna crash and die! So we’ll just go FASTER!”
The research shows diet has little to no impact on ADD ... although caffeine acts like Ritalin only a shorter-term effect. Caffeine will temporarily remove the hyperactivity and helps them focus.
Hmmmm. Maybe, but then again, maybe the dreamers, who back their vision with action, break out of the matrix?
I’m looking into alternatives that my friends and family wouldn’t even think to consider. They’re sheep that don’t even know they’ve been corralled.
Nope. Nuh, uh. No way.
Considering diet directly affects your insulin levels and therefore your hormone regulation I’d say that research is lacking. Changing your diet can drastically alter your energy levels and general mood. Hyper active neural activity may not be directly impacted but an erratic emotional state can not possibly help.
My guess is they want to be there and truly want to learn. I’m also of the opinion music has near magical qualities on brain function. I’m surprised more research has not been done on using music to treat ADHD.
Interesting, like what?
Replace it with the theme from Chitty-Chitty Bang Bang.
Where to move, what to do. Why work your arse off, if most of what you get goes out the door in taxes?
We’ve saved a fair amount and could likely survive living more modestly elsewhere.
Heh. I tried to convince Hubby that Chile was the place to go....back to the drawing board.
Tu habla espanol?
I hear RE prices have tumbled. [groan]
In SA that is one place of interest.
I keep wondering about Oz and NZ, although our daughter would need to go first as we’re over the 45 age cut off. Becomes difficult to migrate over that age.
Alabama has excellent real property rights. No eminent domain junque. I believe the property tax rate is good also. That’s the biggie for me. Paying property tax over and over on a piece of land and dwelling is nonsensical.
Amen to that!!
