"Suspected Bank Robber's Pants Explode"

Lamictal, Day 7: It's weird--I don't feel like I'm "on drugs" at all, which is a sign that it's a good fit, but at the same time, I could definitely feel an effect earlier in the week that's fading now. So I have another week on 25 mg before we go up to 50 mg, at which point I'll probably feel it again. In the meantime, though, I keep forgetting

It's interesting you say that about the ADD. As I always understood it, ADHD is the hyperactive sort and ADD is the hypoactive sort.

Although my mum claims I am ADHD since the 'H' could stand for both. I remember being both hyper- and hypo-active at school, how randomly curious.

This is a totally useless comment. I comment merely to use the icon. I'm having a bad ADD day. I wish I was hyperactive, I'd have so much more fun.

I think it's all just called ADHD now, even though the hyperactivity may or may not be present.

Well, that definitely makes it easier, lol.

[cleolinda]

Yeah, I know, but they definitely told me I was ADHD, which was super-confusing. It may be like the other commenter is saying, though, that they're just using it as a catch-all term now.

I love the Gorey cat, and autumn has always been my favorite time. (I don't know why the two parts of that sentence are connected, but they are.) Honestly, you haven't experienced autumn until you've been to New England in the fall. You NEED to see the LEAVES, man.

Panda accidentally crushes cub in China.

O.o Between crushing their offspring and their inability to figure out sex, pandas are just not meant to survive. Evolution has let them down. If they weren't so damn cute, I'd be all for letting natural selection take its course.

Pandas

The panda link made me think of the crazies in the Pandas Unlimited flickr group. If it is, was, or in the vaguest possible sense ever could be connected to pandas, it's there.

I am at work and can't search for the video right this minute, but if you can find one, you should look for the birth of Tai Shan at the National Zoo. He squirted out of his momma and, I kid you not, bounced off the wall practically head first. Also, given the size of a newborn compared to the size of an adult panda, it is amazing that more new moms do not accidentally hurt their babies. Baby pandas are the size of sticks of butter when they are born, and their mothers are several hundred pounds.

I have also heard like fourth-hand (my boyfriend's mother, techmuse, is an Asia Trail volunteer and has attended lectures by the panda's head keeper, who worked with zoo employees that were sent to China to learn about breeding & rearing practices) that panda reserves in China are under a lot of pressure to produce many babies as quickly as possible.

I am lame, I meant to thank you for the link. BTW didn't Lucky have burseitis or something like that a while back? Is he doing any better?

I can't even remember. I'm going to blame it on the drugs. Unless that was the sore joint he had--he's still stiff every now and then, but he seems to be a lot better. Of course, I say this before the cold weather's set in.

Re: P.S.

We bought this thing for our elderly dog (the one in my icon) before he passed away to help his stiffness in cold weather. I think it worked but it is definately best to have a fairly thick bed over it as it does put out quite a lot of heat.
