The basic mechanics of the human mind reflect a process of pattern matching or rather recognition. In a "moment of reflection", new situations and new experiences are judged against recalled ones and judgements are made. In order to make these judgements, the intellect maintains present experience and sorts relevant past experience. It does this while keeping present and past experience distinct and separate. The intellect can mix, match, merge, sift, and sort concepts, perceptions, and experience. This process is called reasoning. Logic is the science of reasoning. The awareness of this process of reasoning is access consciousness.

me no wanna do that

LOL...It would have been SO much easier just to click the links...

I'm just a cheapskate...trying to infect others with my cheaposity...lol

I seriously hate to see the big rich drug companies get richer, especially through deception....WE need our money way more than THEY do

Well the stomach thing is all good cuz I have abs of steel. Inside & out. Nothing like that makes me sick. And you are so right, about the money. I have better things I need to get.

Definately. Just like my cure for hangovers.

Some additions:

Dont EVER give aspirin to kids under 10, and i think 15 just to be safe. Aspirin contains salicylate which causes liver and brain problems in kids that could kill them.



Funny you mentioned Livers. I have been having a lot of epiphanies lately, and have been making a lot of change sin my life. one of them is a build up of many things over the years. This past weekend i got a little (12 oz, i think) bottle of jack daniels. Now, for a casual drinker, it was plenty for a glass or tywo a night for a week.

I polished it off in under 24 hours, with 2 foster's cans, a bottle of wine and a 20oz Newcastle.

I got a little drunk. And at 30, that scared the hell out o fme. i dont think i should be able to put away that much liquor that easily, on top of the fact that i ALWAYS have some sort of alchohol in the house.

Now, i dont have any of the typical symptoms associated with alchoholism. I dont get stinking drunk, ever really, but especially not with any regularity. i dont try to hide drinking, i dont "drink" alone (I will have a beer, but i dont get plowed), i dont get violent, angry, etc.

But the sheer volume i pass in a given month, not to mention the fact that if i go a day or two without beer, i get cravings, has been freaking me out. I dont think i have a problem, but then again, i dont want to develope one either.

SO, i have decided not to have a drink fro 28 days, starting today to see how it goes. that doesnt mean i am going to rush right out on day 28 and get drunk, but but I think i need some time off. I did it somewhat unvoluntarily a couple of years ago because i had surgery, but that was more or less forced on me, so i went right back as soon as i could. This is more like when i quit smoking. ijust decided not to do it any more, so id didnt.


Wish me luck. i may get verry cranky soon.

Thanks Vod...I should have mentioned that...I just kinda figured everyone already knew that, but it's definitely worth repeating anyway :)

Reye's Syndrome is also an issue


Remember when WE were little...and we ALL ate orange aspirin?:eek: ...I would sneak them and eat them whenever I got the chance...Hmm...Brain damage?...lol

We didn't have child-proof caps then either...

God...When I think of all the Flinstones vitamins I ate...No WONDER I'm so healthy and well-preserved, with SO much energy...lol


How did we ever keep from killing ourselves when we were little?

You just proved that you're addicted to caffeine, like smokers are addicted to nicotine.

I'm addicted to caffeine, too:o ...If I go an entire 24 hours without caffeine, I get a hellacious headache, I'm very cranky, and I seriously feel like shit...

It's terrible how we get hung up on these things

its amazing how "safe" childhood has become in some areas, and how frighteningly unsafe it has become in others. It used to be nothign for little kids to pop aspirin while playing cops and robbers with authentic looking guns around all-metal 10' tall playground equipment on asphalt and concrete.

These days, no guns, no medicine, everything is 2 foot and plastic.

But now, they are all being watched by pedophiles and child murderers, or have to worry that they are going ot be shot to death by the kid who the teacher called slow the other day.

Well...Nothing really seems to make much sense anymore...I mean, people stopped giving their kids orange aspirin, because it was dangerous...then started pumping them full of Ritalin and other mind altering drugs...This world confuses me...
