Hurry and get your kids hooked on uppers

Interesting article about ADHD and how it may not necessarily be something that requires a cure. I've always been a bit leery of the automatic assumption that you need to cure your kid of being a bit rambunctious and unable to learn and behave just like every other child. Hell, that was most of my childhood right there. One of my nieces is doing the Ritalin thing now - and yes, she is definitely a handful and a half - so I wonder if this applies to her and could indeed be ruining her future potential.

Lots of blank space here. Not a good thing.

Actually, the thing that's keeping me from posting is work on the 2nd Evolutions story. It's taking longer than I expected. Almost too long...

But really, very little has been going on around here. The most exciting thing I have to report is that we got rained on. Not even an entire inch.

We got a new car today. Had to, actually - gassing up the pickup was starting to get out of control. At first the plan was to get one of those little econo-boxes, just a little commuter deal for the hubby to drive to work in. But somehow fate decided to shine on us and a perfect trade-in landed in our lap. We're picking it up in a couple days - they gotta do the little clean up bits to it. So we are now the proud owners of the proverbial 'owned by a little old lady who never drove it except on Sundays' type car - a '99 Le Sabre, moss green, with plenty of extras.

DIE BACTERIA DIE!

Oddly enough, this time I got something of an advance warning - instead of waking up with half my head throbbing I ended up dealing with a couple days of wet itchy annoyance.

This time the clinic decided maybe we oughta jam a swab in there and CSI us up a culture. That's right you fucking microscopic bastards, we'll know exactly who you are and make you pay. Pay I tell you!

Right on!

I just now noticed that Cartoon Planet is back on the tube. Love love love me some Cartoon Planet nonsense. Finally, something to watch while I'm in a sleep deprived waking coma.

BIRFCAKE!

It's hubby birfcake time. He's still asleep and he has to go to work when he gets up today. That is entirely poopy, but what can ya do, right? He's going to try to pretend it's not happening, but I doubt he'll be getting much help in that regard.

The blood wasn't the worst of it. Somehow you you can get used to that. You don't have to believe me, but it does happen. It washes off eventually - off your clothes, your skin, your conscience. It's the memory that stains and grows dull over time, nondescript.

The worst part is the eyes.

And wouldn't you know it, a seriously cool ass banner makes its way to me. Peep it out up there. Big thanks to Gothling for that.

I'm a bit peeved at myself for letting the Briar County Blues blog die. But I guess it was inevitable - I am a lazy bastard after all. It nearly worked too, before other annoying issues got in the way.

More whining ahead, if you wanna read it...

I apologize for the iffy (and tiny) resolution here - I didn't scan this it was sent to me. This is entirely tacky, BTW.
