pete.. it's funny i also thought about the mortgage thing! i guess there'd be some comfort in all going together.. i'd not have to be around to outlive my kitties for example.. but mandy, i wouldn't panic over it.. it'll probably be a big unevent the way Y2K was.. (i was sooooo prepared for all hell to break loose!) if somehow it were to be true we'd never feel a thing.. and i at least believe there's bound to be something better after? anyway.. i need to go post in my snowcave today.. i've had a real rough day.. ghost

hi.. it's almost officially fall.. i'm wondering how thumper & mia are faring today? did anyone else happen to see the recent show on the LINK channel (international) about how Johnson & Johnson does it's experimental clinical trials in india on poor mental patients who don't even know they're being guinea pigs? makes me mad.. i'm doing better.. staying distracted.. ghost

actually it's johnson & johnson trying out their new psych drugs.. taking bipolar patients off their meds to 'wash them out' and running them on trials of experimental drugs.. the forms they sign are all in english and it seems most just are doing what the drs say to do without realizing it's a drug trial.. it's unethical, but they get away with it because the patients are poor and they can always blame psych patients saying they had informed consent but forgot due to their illness.. i just have this dislike of big pharma.. i know good new drugs do come out of drug trials too.. it's not all bad.. but the general public make the mistake of forgetting that these are companies.. and companies are in business to make profits.. it's wrong when they exploit their trusted/professional status to that end.. anyway.. made me mad.. hey, pete, that dr amen in the link you posted is quite a good one in the field of A.D.D. research & understanding i remember.. ghost

hey folks, happy october! some of you might have noticed our board was gone for a little while? i was over at the main board looking for answers when they fixed it and here we are again.. if that ever happens don't worry.. i'm not going to ever just shut down like that.. also proboards, our host, seems to keep a backup so that if anything crashes they can put us back up where we left off? mandy, sometimes family skeletons come out, or family news that is surprising, and it can actually throw you into a kind of survival state/dissociative.. well, i know this happens to me, when i hear news of things going on with my family members some old part of me regresses to the past and i go into self protect mode.. always braced for something to just fall out of the sky on me, i guess? = flying piggy.. like 'when pigs fly' .. hehe.. thumper, i'm sorry you're in a low.. i wish we could be a comfort to you.. i've been adding to my google vids/youtubes.. come on over anyone who wants to.. i'm going to be putting up more through october too.. here's another year of our socal halloweens.. this time my son helped terrify the children.. he he he.. video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2245635911757048636&hl=en& here's my youtube link again: www.youtube.com/user/strungoutandthin ghost
