    I’d be working at McDonald’s if I listened to my teacher’s in high school. Instead, I went on to college and achieved my degree in mathematics after many setbacks. I didn’t always get along with everyone in college.

    I notice no issues with urination on my part. Are you guys sure that it’s not an age issues?

    I don’t think it’s your ADHD, either.

    His theory is interesting. It doesn’t have enough research for my tastes. Also, I’m not sure if those scientist against him are being genuinely sincere or have agenda of their own since such as possibly having a grudge against him over something. He could be a founding father in the making in the use of imaging equipment to diagnose and treat abnormal condition or he could be a mad scientist/swindler taking peoples monies and searching after small pink elephants.

    Once upon a time in elementary school, my psychologist changed me from Ritalin to some other drug. Not sure what happened, but I woke up cognitively a day or two later. Apparently while I was out on that drug. I forgot everything, payed attention to nothing, did bizarre things, looked strung out of my mind, and couldn’t remember my name. My mother even had to get my coat from the bus driver because I somehow forgot it on a cool bus on a cool day. It was a very special day that I will never remember.

    Switching medications always has inherent risks and trade offs. For example, when I switched from Adderall to Vyvanse, I had the improved benefit of not having to worry about if I’ll remember my evening dose since Vyvanse is effective much longer than Adderall. Unfortunately, if I don’t take it within an hour of when I wake up, it seems to make it more difficult for me to sleep. I do need to start recording my day in order to accept or reject the hypothesis if Vyvanse is the cause or if it’s something else.

    If I’m ADHD or not, I’m certain that I am ADHD. Unlike some, I don’t call it a diagnosis and I don’t consider myself to be suffering from it.

    When I figure out tactics on getting things in life done, I’ll get back to you on it.

    I use to joke with my friends that my spiritual gift was pissing women off.

    My superpowers would have to be tactics and seeing patterns. I think the patterns part is what helped me survive math classes.

    I use to hate gossip till I realized that I was getting potentially useful intelligence out of people that I could use to my advantage if it turned out to be correct. I know it sounds diabolical, but I’d used it to my advantage, if I could authenticate it to some degree. Better yet, I would sometimes gossip false rumors that I knew were getting sent back to my adversaries in college just to mess with them. Maybe I read Sun Tsu’s Art of War a little too much back in college.

    I know this is an old post, but I’ve been there. It took me 10 years to get through college due to budget cuts keeping me from getting classes I needed, breaking my leg, having a few surgeries, changing majors, and various vicious social campaigns led against me by women I liked that one day would decide that we were no longer friends.

    If marriage was based in mathematics or physics, I could give you so many points. Unfortunately, I’m still working on the, “How to get a date” phase. If I ever get there, I’ll let you know how it turns out.

    I know it might sound funny, but is there a way to mount the finder to a wall, as in drill a screw into it and mount it? I’d find that the most useful way to keep track of keys if I was to use that method.

    I just buy the books I want to read or I read them at the library without taking them home. No point in taking something home that I might loose or forget to return.

    I’ve played Saxophone for a long time and Clarinet even longer. I play in a community orchestra quite often. Never had many issues playing. Most of my issues were with the people I was with in music.

    I played a lot of video games and did quite a bit of martial arts while growing up, so I can be clumsy at times, but not as bad as you might think. I have a decent instinct when it comes to keeping my balance.

    At least you only psychoanalyze them and get bored. When I get bored, I start messing with people. For example, if there’s a woman that’s trying to loose weight for vanity reasons, I’ll start leaving out various chocolates to see how much self-control she has and how her voicing of her outward appearance changed over time. I’d be the one to changed the teacher’s staff room coffee from regular to decaf for a month and then find a highly caffeinated coffee to see the effects on their psyche during those changed. Worse part is, I’d probably keep a journal if the entertainment was great.

    On the bright side, you’re not as evil or mischievous as I am.

    I know it sounds horrible, but I typically leave everything in my pants and shirt from the day before near my shower or my recliner so I have a higher probability of finding everything the next day. It’s not perfect, but it gets the job done.

    Have you tried calling it? I know it might be too late, but I just thought I’d mention it. I have no clue how long the battery life on those iphones are.
