One of my students came back to school after a dentist appointment but he missed his lunchtime and wanted to go get something from the cafeteria and bring it back to class. I wrote him a pass to "there and back again" and said, "Just like Bilbo!".

Hopefully he doesn't get captured by the goblins under the Misty Mountains.

Good for him! He should have the tip section of his fingers and toes 'removed' as well.

So if I use these (which I do), does that mean I should have someone give me a manicure every four to six weeks?
Because I need an excuse to include the nail salon into my budget.

Tell us more about your budget, I could help you work it out. Money is my thing see.

* Novice realizes why Adderall is overtaking marijuana as the drug of choice for college students while he studies for Physics 314 final tomorrow.

I had that prescribed at one time. I never got anything out of it. Nothing noticeable, anyway. Of course, I was at the same time prescribed Imipramine; which totally blew out any/all motivation to do practically anything (which prompted me to stop taking both). So that may have been a mitigating factor.

Besides my occasional Geekery breaks, I have been studying for about 4.5 hours straight. I will likely study for another hour or two after this as well. It's basically a motivation pill for me. It amazes me how much I actually want to study and how much I will retain the next day. Normally, I think studying is overrated and would maybe sit down for an hour if I'm lucky.

I only take one (or two on separate days) during finals week and stay away from taking it any other time. I watched "True Life: I'm addicted to Adderall" and would rather not turn into a speed junkie.

I actually didn't know (and maybe it was before it started) that Adderall was a potentially abusable drug at the time. It wasn't until a couple years later that I started hearing that.
When I quit taking it, I just went back to eating three Vivarin. I don't drink coffee; so a shot like that is definately a buzz. And of course there's the inevitable crash; but I pretty much have my day (which is at night, lol) planned out, and at what times I should and better not take it.
I know you can get addicted to caffeine; but taking it in pill form has one definate deterrent - HEARTBURN.

Wow. Here I was thinking my B-Complex supplement was bad-ass.

12AX7 · « **Reply #3938 on:** December 14, 2008, 08:30:43 PM »

lol... I take that, too, in addition to a multi. St John's works for me as far as stress/mad/aggravation, though. And yes, I use it almost daily (nightly) at work.

Adderall can essentially be considered speed. People who become addicted will open the capsule, crush up the medicine and snort / smoke it. Adderall is actually fairly expensive and will be taken away if the user is thought to be abusing it (like any medicine), so cheaper and probably more dangerous drugs exist to supplement it for abusers. I'm not sure what exactly is used, though.

I generally have an addictive personality but Adderall pretty much just makes me feel like I took an extended-release somewhat stronger caffeine pill. For normal days (and tomorrow morning before my final) I usually just chug a can of soda. I can't do coffee, though I definitely am addicted to caffeine.

Curiousity has taken hold. I must now know why Novice can't do coffee.

Was it a high-heeled shoe? Or a tennis shoe?

Or a hiking boot?

These are important details.

I'm actually proud of our president! Cat-like reflexes. You think Sarkozy or Gordon Brown could've moved that fast? Maybe Putin or Chavez, although I'd like to see them put to the test. But Raul Castro? Merkel? Forget it, they'd take it right in the kisser.

And no one is playing up Bush's best joke on the incident, so I will: "I don't know what the guy was saying, but I saw his sole," a reference to his own remarks about Putin that garnered so much ridicule from the press.

Suck it, World Leaders!

When my mother was a kid, she threw a shoe at her brother and broke his glasses. I think she's still paying for them.

I once threw a ballet slipper at a man in a giant rat costume under the instruction of an adult.

During the summertime back when I was a young teenager, my first job was working at a Chuck E Cheese. The pay was lousy but I got all the pizza and soda I could eat within reason when I was allowed to take a lunch break. Among my many duties, was cleaning out the little caged area filled with plastic balls that the kids loved to jump all around in. You'd be amazed at how much crap you'd find at the bottom of that stack of colored spheres. Literally. A kid shat himself and tried to hide it by scooping it out of his pantleg and burying it underneath a bunch of plastic balls. Good times.

The only part of the job that I kind of enjoyed is when I got to wear the Chuck costume. Finally I could make faces at the little bastards and not have their hambeast mothers screaming at me for doing so! Every time we had a large birthday party celebration, I'd always be asked to go in the back and change into the Chuckster and go entertain the kids.

Most of the times it wasn't too bad. The kids usually were all hopped up on sugar and greasy pizza goodness and generally wouldn't pay me that much attention. Being a mascot doesn't really get you that much respect, however. Since you don't really have a human face, people think that gives them carte blanche to abuse the ever lovin' fuck out of you. I remember this one time, this spoiled bitch chucked a pink ballet slipper right at my head while her mom was laughing it up, thinking it was the most hilarious thing she'd ever seen. I wonder if they would have laughed so much if they knew I had pissed in their Mountain Dew pitcher prior to brining it out?

God, I hate children.

At least you weren't on a stage in front about 2000 paying audience members.

I like children.
