Plate spinning galore

[morwentf]

Remember the old Ed Sullivan show, and the guy who ran up and down the line of spinning plates, keeping them all going on top of the sticks? (You have to be of a certain age to remember this.) Well, that's me. I've got a lot of plates spinning, and I'm a little bit frantic trying to keep any of them from toppling

HI Morwen sounds like great stuff! you are doing great stuff. I hope the return to work and first days of school go well.
I might be able to join you for the sunday circle on the 30th. If I am coming back from NH it could work.

I just found you on lj. ... and added you as a friend.

Don't know if any of these articles will help, thought I'd pass them on just in case. Love and Huggs.

Thanks. I've been doing some reading, and after many years of being completely resistant to meds (and trying some of the things suggested in these articles) I think it's time to try them. But I really appreciate these references, I think this information will be helpful

I've hears some of the success stories of meds, but the thought of long-term meds scare me. Just a thought but you may want to pass on some of the info you find to chameleonlac, while he's doing good now he seems to fall into the the classic symptoms as well, and if there's anything that could help him stay on task I'm sure he'd be apprieciative. When I get back from my weekend trip I'll check some of my herbal and crystal remedies books for any more useful info.

While I'm thinking of it, how close are you to needing more stuff for K. from BJ's?

I'll be glad to have a look at anything you come up with. But the research I've done reassured me about the long term stuff. Some of the meds used for ADD have been studied for over 30 years, with no evidence of long term damage or even cumulative effects. The stuff wears off and leaves the system, does not accumulate in the body, and many adults who took meds as children have been able to cut back or get off them completely as adults and still function well, since brains continue to mature throughout well into the thirties and some thing do get easier (although the ADD never goes away completely, it does get easier to deal with over time, with practice using organizational techniques and general maturity

Use Unbreakable Plates?

Exciting and wonderful that you have so much good stuff going on.

I know exactly how you feel... the project and task list is much longer than the time available and I keep promising myself not to add anything else till the existing list is reduced by a significant amount, but it never ever works out that way. There is just too much cool stuff to do on top of what has to be done.

btw How cool to find you here on LJ! Had no idea you were here. Friended you today. It will be nice to stay in touch through this medium.

Hugs
