Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Study: Diet May Help ADHD Kids More Than Drugs

According to Pelsser, 64 percent of children diagnosed with ADHD are actually experiencing a hypersensitivity to food. Researchers determined that by starting kids on a very elaborate diet, then restricting it over a few weeks' time.

Thrive to spite them

I have a job interview tomorrow. It's a part time receptionist position at a vet's office and it's not full time, but it's here in town which is a big help.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

According to Pelsser, 64 percent of children diagnosed with ADHD are actually experiencing a hypersensitivity to food. Researchers determined that by starting kids on a very elaborate diet, then restricting it over a few weeks' time.

My gluten-intolerant gut is intrigued.

Although I question the methodology of a "double-blind" study whose treatment is diet, where one group is on a severely restricted diet and the other can eat more or less whatever they want (although, yes, they were counseled on healthy eating; still not the same thing as saying "Here are 8 things you can eat for the next 5 weeks"). Because I think the double-blindedness is shot to hell on day 1, when the group that can only eat 8 things figures out they're probably the treatment group.

The study group was very small, too, so I take those results with a grain of salt. Assuming salt doesn't cause ADD.

I'm home from the test and very anxious but no meltdown! Yay me?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yay, sj!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Good job, sj!

Tep, I thought of you. Okay, I thought of me too.
