Yea! :D<BR/><BR/>I stayed away from it for a long time (the, "I can do this without drugs" thing) but finally tried it again this summer and gee, the house got clean, the kids got into a routine, I ate better and exercised and my mood became even and predictable. Nevermind that I could start sweeping the floor and FINISH sweeping the floor without getting distracted half a dozen times. :)<BR/><BR/>So I'm back on it now and it's been very good for the whole family. Gald to hear I'm not alone!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05895897568006441289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776222898849461648.post-64916589264560320022008-03-20T13:26:00.000-07:002008-03-20T13:26:00.000-07:00I take Ritalin too.

People like to crack on Ritalin, and no medication should be taken lightly or universally, but Ritalin has been a godsend to me. Glad to hear someone else admit they take it as an adult right out loud!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776222898849461648.post-29600302601411852462008-03-20T08:10:00.000-07:002008-03-20T08:10:00.000-07:00Ah!

We...I lied about the dryer!!<BR/><BR/>I actually DO have one. We bought a set a few years ago when we remortgaged to do some work on the house (a few new appliance were the only splurge). The problem is we don't have enough room on the fuse panel for another 220 outlet and never had the $1000 or so it would take to put in a new 200 amp panel. <BR/><BR/> So I do have beautiful, never-used dryer. Just no place to plug it in! :)Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05895897568006441289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776222898849461648.post-85131689397928643112008-03-19T08:00:00.000-07:002008-03-19T08:00:00.000-07:00oops, that link should end with 1-400.jpgoops, that link should end with 1-400.jpgmolytailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998928076467405984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776222898849461648.post-35989928323407217892008-03-19T07:59:00.000-07:002008-03-19T07:59:00.000-07:00So if I get tagged to write a sappy poem with the ...So if I get tagged to write a sappy poem with the letters of my name, I should tag you right away, right? LOL<BR/><BR/>Nah - a lot of the memes kicking around the blogworld (blogosphere??) are pretty silly or ridiculously long and I'm not fond of them either, but this one was kinda fun and it's neat to see what people say about themselves. :-)<BR/><BR/>On that note, you and I have a few things in common, interestingly enough...<BR/><BR/>Your #1 - I used to take ritalin as well when I was younger (not a child, it was at the end of my teen years)...I scored weirdly high on a bunch of tests for ADHD that they gave me (and likely still would) but it did odd things to me.. bunch of weightloss (which I liked, I was overweight at the time) and put me in a sort of... hyper-focus mode or something. It was quite strange. Y'know those logic problems? I'd have prolly been able to sit for hours and do nothing but that! LOL<BR/><BR/>Your #3 - I have a dryer, but I don't have a dishwasher. Wish you lived on the island because I actually have an extra dryer sitting in the basement holding Christmas ornaments inside and as far as I know, it works. Bit hard to mail that to NS though LOL<BR/><BR/>Your #4 - same here, though it was through the GED program. I didn't graduate - I barely attended any high school and never earned any credits.<BR/><BR/>Your #5 - yep, pretty much the same way here. I'm not the 'dress up and go out' type. <BR/><BR/>Your #7 - not a headscarf, but I love those ...oh I don't know what to call them. Let's see if I can find a pic online..<BR/><BR/>okay, sort of like this:<BR/><BR/>http://www.alteredcloth.com/images/2007-07-05-headband-1-400.jpg<BR/><BR/>but mine are wider than that, and thinner looking. :-)<BR/><BR/>I have long hair and can't do anything with it - I'm so not hairdoing, makeup wearing type - so these are lovely. If I'm not wearing those, then its often in a ponytail or braid.<BR/><BR/>blech, black licorice. Although I do like the colourful parts of those "allsorts", y'know what I mean? I'll eat <I>around</I> the black stuff. *grin*molytailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998928076467405984noreply@blogger.com
