adderall is a hilarious drug that is great at kicking the can along with the rest of the united states.

Let me be clear with those who want to try drugs prescribed for ADD and ADHD. ADD and ADHD are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. Some of the drugs taken to accommodate each diagnosis are the same, and some are very different.

It's all Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Just different subtypes - ADHD, hyperactive/impulsive type or ADHD, inattentive type. The medication that is given for both is stimulants. Non-stimulant medication is sometimes given for the hyperactive type, but the first line of medication for both is typically a stimulant (ritalin, adderall, concerta...) .

Just felt like putting my smarty pants on today.

It's not for therapeutic use, at least not in the USA. I could write you an entire thread on this and what it is really used for...so many people are mislead about it. IMO the only people that should prescribe it are psychologist, I didn't get prescribed this medicine until they evaluated me, I had to take test after test and evaluation after evaluation for 4 years before I got diagnosed, and it was another few months before I was perscribed something, and then I had to see a psychiatrist at least once a month and continues the evaluations and testing once a year....a very taxing an exhausting situation....not as easy peasy as people like to think.

how times change....
my son was diagnosed and put on meds after 1 test and maybe two doc visits.
IMO the docs over diagnose and over prescribe like a mutha

son was prescribed Vyanase though
its supposed to not have same effects as the other meds like adderall.
only gave it to him 1 day. once he came home and told me what it made him feel like.
he said: jittery, nervous, couldnt eat lunch , etc.. and all the negative side effects of a stimulant.

so..... still got those in the cabinet
yea, I tried em and didnt do anything for me positive or negative, unlike adderall which had me wired for hrs and hrs many yrs ago when I tried it. maybe I'm ADD is why I didnt get a buzz.

so anyone take this new miracle non addicting form of ADD med the docs are pushing on kids these days?

Me - My motorcycle has a better power-to-weight ratio than a Porsche 911.
Her - ...
Me - I know you're impressed.
Her - Uh-huh.
Me - Admit it, you wanna have my babies now.
Her - Yeah. You had me at "power-to-weight ratio".
Me - High five.

My dentist gave me a high five at the end of my appointment last week. Coming from a lot of people it would have seemed excessively cheesy but from her particular brand of dorky Asian, I felt it worked.

 

[Teela]

Do you actually high five or do you just say "high five?" I often say to the other Matty, "High five!" without actually doing it. I'm far too lazy to lift my hand to the appropriate high five height.

outside of celebrating something i dont see where the 'high five' fits in to any life scenario so i usually have the energy. some form of a handshake usually takes care of any greeting necessary.

 

[Mudcat]

When my dentist offered up the high five, I had to pause for a second. It was like, is this really happening? I wondered if maybe I was misunderstanding the sensory input.

But no. Her hand was right there and she said the words, "High five." It was not ambiguous.

I didn't leave her hangin'.

I wonder if maybe she will marry me and look after me for the rest of my life.

i think my new thing will be doing high fives during wildly inappropriate circumstances.

Do you actually high five or do you just say "high five?" I often say to the other Matty, "High five!" without actually doing it. I'm far too lazy to lift my hand to the appropriate high five height.

I say it out loud, raise my hand and pretend I expect her to actually high five. Sometimes she does. Not this time.

 

[Mudcat]

She left you hangin'.

Sometimes people leave people hangin'.

That's a whole thing.

Polaroid left me hanging in NOLA. The incident is documented somewhere.

 

[Fu Manchu]

Everything is context.

If someone started singing Everything's Coming Up Roses - like they just started singing it out of the blue - no context - maybe Eydie Gorme making an appearance on some variety show (Carol Burnett?) - or Barbra Streisand on the Sonny and Cher Show - and they just walked out on stage and started singing it with the requisite grand arm gestures - it would seem like a song of tremendous optimism.

You'll be swell! You'll be great!
Gonna have the whole world on the plate!
Starting here, starting now,
Honey, everything's coming up roses!




But when you actually hear it in the show Gypsy, it is a song of extreme self-delusion. Someone telling themselves soothing lies in painful circumstances.

That's just the way it goes sometimes.


Everything is context.

"Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel."


I heard this quote recently in season 5 of The Wire. A politician was deciding to refrain from a pissing contest with the local newspaper. As it turns out Mark Twain said it years ago. Very thoughtful and intelligent quote I believe.

I imagine if you said it to a typical 16 year-old they would have no idea what you are talking about.

She totally digs the bike.

Me - You wanna sit on my motorcycle?
Her - Ok.
Me - You're a biker chick.
Her - I know!
