Ahhh, coffee and baileys - the only way to wake up in the morning.

I can't believe I managed to gain 2.5 lbs since last Friday. Did I really eat 3500 X 2.5 = 8750 extra calories? No way. Maybe 3500 but that's it.

It was snowing when I got home last night - woke up to at least 8" of fresh white stuff this morning. So nice after the very wet, green Christmas in Vancouver. (I'm Mimi and the PNW gals can attest to that.)

So I've been busy catching up - you ladies are too funny. Dh keeps looking over here to see what I'm laughing out loud all the time. Never mind, it's nothing...

Is there a link to X's Myspace page?

LOVE the ADHD joke Kits. Will remember that one for sure. What do you think would happen if I tried my kid's ritalin? Anyone done it recreationally? I want to understand what he's taking. Wonder what it does to people who aren't adhd. Well, I guess I am HD, not but not AD.

BMO - how are the headaches with the migraine meds. Are you coping?

I bought a beeeautiful prime rib roast for dinner tonight. Will keep you posted on my weight gain...

....... oops. Note to self. Don't put soup on the stove and then read TD. I am getting too old to multi-task. Think it's the baileys? I'm now down one pot and I guess I need to put new batteries in the smoke alarm cause it didn't work....

LOL, maybe I DO need ritalin...

KG-it is just water weight, you will be fine. I have no intention of stepping on a scale. I am still enjoying the holidays.

My 1/2 a cent is do not try any medciation, unless you absolutely have to.

Migraines-I am living through them. Keepiong a journal for my next appointment in less than a month. They appoear to be more frequent and more intense on this medication the is supposed to lessen them.

Awww, sorry to hear that Jennifer - life can be so disheartening when accompanied by constant headaches. I truly hope you are able to find the right combo of meds. Crossing my fingers for your next appointment....

PS Glad to see I'm not the only one who can't type.

Recreational Ritalin is supposed to be much like Dexadrine and other attention-span-increasers. Expect it to act much like a strong stimulant but (according to sis) not with the 'icky, druggy feeling' of caffeine. Your method of uptake is up to you. Ingestion vs inhalation, really. Results may vary. Duration and intensity are up to method of uptake, ranging from three or four hours (very intense) up to twelve with a longer, lower arc of action. Your personal sensitivity will also vary. If you're ADHD, the dose may not even affect you that way. You may just feel 'more normal'. If not, expect the above.

Personally, I would not recommend it. Just have a coffee.
And a red bull.
And pop a couple Ginseng/Ginkgo pills.
at that point you should be experiencing the same feeling AND be vibrating too much to care

[kelownagirl]

Hmmm, probably not a good idea for me at all then. I can't drink two cups of coffee without getting heart palpatations.

[Kitsune06]

For concentration etc, I'd recommend Ginkgo and grape seed extract most, I think. Anyone else have any suggestions? Those are the two I know (and take them with Grapefruit juice) because I have serious, serious attention problems at work. (I say as I post from work, and IM, and...)

[kelownagirl]

I'm not so much concerned about increasing my concentration as I am finding out what it's like for my kid to take ritalin. At the same time, I know that it has a much different affect on a person with adhd than it does on a "regular" person. I've talked to my daughter about it and she says she does not get the "caffeine-like" reaction like she does if she has too much coffee / red bull etc. And with my son, it clearly does not "wire" him, instead it makes him act calm, rational, and "normal". Weird....

Just too popular for your own good, sis.
You know, for a nominal fee, I could act as your bodyguard or something. God knows I'm already in the mafia takin' peoples' thumbs, whacking contractors and goodness-knows-what-else. I'm licensed (at least in THIS state) for security, and soon to be in securities.

Just a thought.

I'm not sure what frightens me more- the idea that people can't think of an outrageous rumor about me, or the idea that people could try to think of something but then rethink it b/c it may well be true

oh and some fun because it just struck me today. Jason has you stand up, point your finger, look at that finger, and spin in circles. You're weaving by the end... and as he plays in bars, well... yeah. Such a blast. If anyone can see this guy live, please do.

Kitsune,
I hear you really like to wear a lot of pink! and long fingernails, pink?

X,
I am sorry I didn't mean to make all your fans think that you had a myspace.
Indeed, i just blurted it out because i thought it was a funny thing to say.
You can get me later I am sure.

[Kitsune06]

Mimi. You're good. Very, Very good. The gaudier the better. And everyone needs to see my aDORable chi-pom General Ahmed Zachariah Phillipe *giggle-squeak!*

Hi all

I recommend that you don't go away on vacation or get away from the computer if you want to keep up with the Thread! It is just too much

The trip to Tucson went great - got to ride in the really nice weather (60-70's) Yahoo that was really nice after the cold icy snowy weather we've been getting.

The parents are doing great in their new house - starting to hang things on the walls and it is looking like their house now. The sis's house is always nice - they just got it painted inside so it is really nice now. You should see this pumpkin colored wall in her kitchen - it is BEAUtiful! It is more like the color of pumpkin pie than the color of the outside of a pumpkin

I've figured out that I really don't like traditional christmas food anymore, (whipped cream egg nog, prime rib); but I more than made up for it by drinking some really nice red wine. Klinker Brick Old Vine and Cline ancient old vine zins - oh they were yummy! Drank too much, but I had company!

We picked up our new toilet (dual buttons) flush (they come from Australia). Really well designed and water efficient. Leave it to the Aussies - the Americans are just too far behind the eight ball when it comes to conservation!

Wish me luck tonight. Hubby and I will try to remove the very large mirror from the wall in the (being) remodeled bathroom so that we can install the new countertop! Yikes, it looks daunting!

Work is incredibly boring today! I just need to go home

[Xrayted]

Mimi - all my fans? Oh my gawd! Nah, it's ok, really. There are just a few joksters out there who like to yank my chain. I can take it. Besides, I wouldn't call it a butt fetish necessarily. I do happen to like checking out nice, hot, ripped biker bums though. Who doesn't?

Kit - I know for a fact that you *mumble* while you *mumble mumble*! Ahem.

Wow, it's been one of those days at work. Can't wait to get out of here and go soak in the hot tub for an hour or so. Maybe have a drink or two or three.

-X.

Thanks KG. I am the queen of Typos. (Hanging my head in shame)

I am laughing so hard I am crying. It must stink to be popular.
