underdogtoo @underdogtoo (9579) • Philippines 23 Apr 08

I read the trilogy of JRR Tolkien a long time ago and it was a very fascinating read. When the Harry Potter books and movies came out I could not help noticing some similarities foremost of which was the use of giant spiders. I...

Hendricks54 It is quite common for authors to be inspired in their writings by other authors they admire. Tolkein and C.S. Lewis, my favorite author, belonged to a group called the Inklings back in the 40's and 50's that would meet regularly to discuss their writing. They...

Ritalin's origins...

blogging2 @blogging2 (201) • United States 24 Jul 08

While I know Ritalin has been around for a while, did anyone know that ADD did not have a name unil the Pharm company who invented Ritalin gave the diagnosis to our Peditricians? Why would they create a drug (that is legal...

Hendricks54 Ritalin and other ADHD drugs are merely moneymakers for Big Pharma. This "disease" was invented by the psychiatric industry. If you look at the list of "symptoms" it sounds like normal childhood behavior. The majority of children on these drugs are boys, who...

Hendricks54 That sounds very good, but very rich. I do like the chocolate marshmallow treats that are available commercially, but have never thought about dipping marshmallows myself, what a great idea. Now I'm wondering how they would be with graham cracker crumbs added....

Hendricks54 My favorite pizza has to have extra cheese, mushrooms, peppers, onions and black olives. It doesn't matter if there's meat on it or not, as long as there's enough cheese. I especially like it when there is more than one kind of cheese.

I was watching a commercial where a couple was talking about how the first time they met, they 'knew' that they were the one that each other was going to marry. I have asked my parents before if they were one of those couples who...

Hendricks54 When I first met my husband, I didn't like him at all. I thought he was not marriage material and too out of control. As I got to know him, I realized he was hiding his true self. We became very good friends, and ended up falling in love with each other. We're...

Hendricks54 Hi ozzeth I used to like eating pizza cold for breakfast, but since I've gotten older I like to warm it up in the toaster oven first. I think it's the cold pizza sauce that turns me off. The cheese is usually better melted, too. My 9-year-old prefers to eat...

Hendricks54 It depends on the brand of coffee and your health. It is actually beneficial for a healthy adult to drink several cups of coffee a day. Recent studies have found that the caffeine is not harmful as once thought. The problem is that mainstream grocery store...
