Well, in all cases, it helps them pass classes they would not pass because they're fucking boring, like all the mandatory French and English classes (4 of french, 2 of english) where I had to write dissertations about novels...it ate a lot of energy from the actual program I was in, I failed French II 4 times because it's so boring, the first French class is Fables, stories you are told as a kid, Fable de la Fontaine and others from England or Germany, middle ages fables, then II is classic french litterature, depending on the book, I could make the damn thing, but if the books we were forced to read, no choice, and there was 3 of them for the semester we had to analyse and write dissertations on, English I and II was pretty much that also, and thankfully once I passed French II, III (Quebec Literature) was much more interesting, most words I didn't have to look at the bottom notes describing what the words mean, stuff more close to the present and French IV which was some hardcore grammar, but that's stuff to learn by heart which is always fucking easy even if boring as hell. (them being anyone with ADD/ADHD, the H, I got rid of, my parents helped and were not shit parents, I played serious league hockey and baseball and I had an invitation to the Detroit Red Wings farm club in the American Hockey League, the league under the NHL, it didn't mean the Wings were interested in me, it meant the AHL team was interested in seeing me in training and pre-season. But Adirondack and a 1/50 chance or so that I made it in the Adirondack Wings were not enough for me to pay all that money to go there, no expenses paid for undrafted invited older than 20 player. When you get 20 and nobody drafts you, it's normally over, but I had chances, considering I had 2 actually really good AAA seasons. Anyway, i say the H part is easy to get rid of by having your kid do some sports, and play with them at first to see what interests them, normally a 5 year old boy with the kind of energy I had would want to play anything. My dad mostly focused on the baseball part, he can't skate real well, but he showed me how to be a catcher, which is a lot harder than most people think, just keeping that position for a whole game when at defense is hard enough on the knees. I think my right knee is the reason I didn't make it, I got hit by a car when going through the only large traffic street in between a friend of mine and my parents house back in the 5th or 6th grade..I had time to see it and turn around, and he was driving slowly (40km/h). As I grow older I see how my right knee and right elbow is crooked, more than the natural crooking of the arms that can happen when you're born, more girls than guys get it, but unfortunately I got that "defect". But the accident where I just got hit on my knee and elbow and I said to the guy I was fine and was walking towards my house, I was almost there, but he said, my wife is a nurse at the ER right now, you'll be seen quick and I don't want you to come back and ask me for 50k later in your life" as a kid of joke, the guy turned out to know my dad, my dad is apparently really known due to his hard drinking downtown fighting, random blank blotter sheet LSD dosing (he had the liquid, when he admitted to it, he was like, ha-ha you never got to buy liquid L hahaha). I told him nowadays it's blotter that's been laid since months normally and I saw microdots only once in my life, well no twice, the first time I passed, was still barely just smoking hash. He told me he had windowpane geltabs and all this rare shit when he came clean about this all and I laughed so hard when he said, people also took those "TH/THC" pills that contained both lsd and pcp, my dad knew it wasn't THC in them and refused to do pcp.
Anyway, as you can see, I am not under any treatment for ADD, I just go from a subject or anecdote I find interesting to another. I'm waiting for the damn mailman (shit I miss regular mail boxes on our houses that are there for nothing nowadays.) Those community mailboxes were very Un-Conservative like, but of course all political parties or persons that claim to be Conservative has no idea what being Conservative is. The old Progressive-Conservative Party was a real conservative party, until its downfall and destruction by that idiot Mulroney in the early 90's. Anyway, it's just so dumb to have to wait much longer for your mail to arrive, because now the mail guys have trucks and there's those community boxes, you're assigned a case, and in case you got a big package, they put the thing at the bottom where's there's large ones and put a key in your case, which you put back there once you've taken your package. I don't understand how it works if somebody else has a large package, they will see the neighbours' boxes or whatever. When the Liberals got in, they did two quick moves, got us out of Syria bombing which is totally useless, and stopped further installation of community boxes, so some people in some towns managed to keep delivery to their door. Of course the elections were set so the day he got in, our community box was installed. Anywhere where there was still a prepared hole in the ground for them.
Anyway, I'm rambling and slightly benzo withdrawing, I only have the one half 6mg bromazepam for the day, and then i'm out until next wednesday, but yeah, I got somethin in the mail that can make all that go away..just hoping its today and not tomorrow it'll arrive.
