The Great Pumpkin, er, Memorial Caper

by LDH in

jw
friends

well kids, it is about that time.

i just saw my first post for this year's memorial.. so i thought i would let you all know my plans and see if anyone else is interested.. last year, just to be hypocritical, i partook of emblems at home.

this year, i plan to be front and center at my local kingdumb hall partaking.. i do plan to polish off all the wine in the glass, and perhaps munch a few crackers.. anybody else up for memorial misadventures?

songmistress

Enquiring Minds want to know. With All due respect. I am really curious. Nothing more, nothing less.

I wonder every year, why some feel the urge to go to the Memorial with thoughts of disrupting the proceedings. Do not get me wrong, I hold no warm fuzzy feelings for the WTS as an organization. I do feel however that actions of this sort would only prove to the rank and file that they are right about the world.

HOWEVER, if I am being REALLY dense and this thread is about dreams and fantasy, I will be the first in line to tell myself to LIGHTEN UP and GET A LIFE.

Blessings to all

Tonight we dance

yall come and dance with us.

this guy is the best bartender around.

songmistress

Dede,

I am jealous that you have a husband who dances, LOL. Mine won't even dance in private pffft.

Anyway, to answer your question about meds and ADD. You are aware I have been going through some severe emotional difficulties in the past couple of months. Recently we were able to rule out Bi-polar which I am grateful for. I was however diagnosed with ADD and put on a med called dexadrine spansules. While it did not solve all my problems, I have been very pleasantly amazed at the reaction I have had to this medication. I tried Ritalin a while back which sent me through the roof, but this seems to act differently at least for me. I know you are asking about kids, but since my kids were never diagnosed, (tho I strongly suspect that at least one of my kids has this problem) I thought I would give you my first hand experience. After being on the meds for about 3 weeks, I am already concentrating better and getting more done. I feel more relaxed and focused. I wonder how life may have been different for my kids if we had dealt with things differently as they were growing up, both for them and for myself.

My therapist is himself a specialist in ADHD as well as dealing with it first hand. He tells me it is a neuralogical disorder rather than a mental illness. He compares it to a six cylander engine firing on only four cylanders. No matter how hard I may want to get to a certain goal, my engine just keeps missing and missing and I never quite make it and wear myself out trying. Many kids try to self medicate, which is why so many of these kids try drugs when they become teens. The fact is I used to use speed as a teen and it was my favorite drug because it did make me feel very clear and focused rather than speedy.

Dede, I hope this helps. I haven't been posting much lately, but I really wanted to tell you not to be afraid to think about giving medication a try with Chance. It may make the life he has ahead of him less of a struggle.

(((((Dede & WT)))))

XenaW,

That looks like a good website. Thanks for sharing. I will look at it later
