I've recently begun taking a couple herbal supplements that are supposed to help you think clearer. Gotu Cola (aka Centella Asiatica) is one of them. (Promotes mental clarity, enhances memory and brain function and helps to alleviate anxiety. This medicinal herb is so highly respected in Ayurvedic medicine for its effect on the mind, that it is even said to increase knowledge of Brahman - the supreme reality. Recent studies have suggested that Centella asiatica improves cerebral blood flow and circulation in general, thereby allowing oxygen rich blood to penetrate deep into the brain.)
Some sort of Chinese ginseng is another.
They may be working because I've become aware of things like never before. My mind jumps less from one thought to the next. I concentrate a little better and see somethings in a new light.
For instance I realize now that I was stupid for buying these supplements because they are probably not doing a heck of a lot and overcharging me for them. <g> <ng>
The silly product harms its own sales as the people taking them get smart enough to realize they have been duped... <Sorta kidding... at times it really does help my clarity>
Anyway, I recently stumbled upon the symptoms of a person who has ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and as I read more about it, it is like reading a book that was written about me. (Not being a hyperactive person I didn't think it applied to me until I found out that is a different classification.) Anyhow it helps explain why I have a thousand hobbies and so many unfinished projects among other things.
I'm not certain if the claims of the herbal remedies are bogus or not but recently new thoughts have been popping into my head so I decided to write them down. (He's lying. He got these in an e-mail from his sister-in-law.)

My latest project involves finding answers to all of these things but hopefully I can do it by the end of the week before I get another project to work on.
Which reminds me... I'll be installing that pool alarm soon as the weather has been getting nice and warm.

P.S. This message simply started out as a copy and paste of an e-mail of silly things. My ADD has turned into the ramblement that you just read.
The more I sit here, the more I think of things to add to it.
P.P.S. I better stop now. It's getting late and I'm not getting much work done.
