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.)

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think
I'll squeeze these pink dangly things here, and drink
whatever comes out?"

Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken
there...I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes out of
it's butt."

Why do toasters always have a setting so high that could
burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human
being would eat?

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song
about him?

If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out
of coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?

Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the
time, but don't point to their butt when they ask where the
bathroom is?

Why does your Obstetrician/Gynecologist leave the room when
you get undressed if he is going to look up there anyway?

Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all
fours? They're both dogs!

What do you call male ballerinas?

If Wile E. Coyote from the Road Runner show had enough
money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy
dinner?

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made
from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come
from morons?

Is Disney World the only people trap operated by a mouse?

Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
have the same tune? Stop singing and read on . . . . ..

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he
gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride; he
sticks his head out the window?

Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it
arrive faster?

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.
