Thank God for the people at Shire & CVS in Mobile Al! They actually have...

Friends and Neighbors,

My friends I must say here and below I haven't written since I was on XR and definitely not on the Barr Product much less been able to sit and read or repair a computer like I can? Shoot I need a Techie for that!

They actually have in Mobile, Al. the brand of medication that I was jokingly told in my own county "was out of business" or something like that and "I certainly wasn't surprised that after six stops on the way across our beautiful bay that I grew up on and wonder many times how I managed to survive this long to tell you my life story!" "No I wasn't surprised that in Mobile, Al. a CVS that as many of you are aware is affiliated with at least one if not many of the brave individuals that carry the banner of the ADHD nation "Shire" the maker and owner of the Trademark for a brand of medication" so vilified in my life that only 13 years of successful use of it's cousin Ephedrine and the knowledge that people such as Shire and one Ty Pennington stand up and defend our right to be ADHD, ADD, OCD, or even making it worse the Depression that comes from a seven year fight to get your life back!


I've been down and out for almost four months due to my own stupidity in asking my doctor to consider the "worst of the Evil in generic medications that I have known"! Barr Labs! Cheap it may be but if you plan to work or have a career or even and especially an education cheap doesn't cut it and if your ill physically buy the Name brand with the Trade Mark 1st, please?


The Barr Labs version of Adderall XR as well as many generic medications although enticing because of the low price make me for one worry about the people in this country and others for that matter that are told oh that generic medication is the same stuff and in fact one pharmacist or their assistant told me once "the Barr is the global brand"!


Lord God if that is the case then I should have been on this ADHD page with you writing and enjoying the same benefit that I have enjoyed from over the counter medications but not as dependable or having the duration of symptom control that Shire's products have and I'm sure many of you know that but it is crucial not only for we the ADHD, ADD, OCD, PTSD, or Depressed over the whole affair to stand up and let our neighbors know that the cost of a medication has no bearing on it's worth when compared to the value of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness over a long life span and not a life span cut short because of a generic medication that wasn't found to be "that much different so to speak in the eye's of our FDA!


I am a staunch Democrat and well I have some leanings toward the right as well but if National Health Care is to have a chance it must take into account the importance of people's ability to not only have physical and visual treatment or even audible treatment under controlled conditions that is but also the ability they must have to say "I want the medication that my doctor has written on the prescription" as medically necessary!


Our lives and the lives of our children's children depends on it!


Thus my ADD, ADHD and alike friends and neighbors I am "anti-ADHD and "pro-drug"! LOL! My ADHD has cost me some years of misery both prior to and after I sought treatment but the bottom-line is that a fine group of Physicians and their staff have saved my life! Thank you Dr. Ney, Anita, Nadja, Dr Cantwell and Dr. Bergman as well as Dr Shaikh and Dr. Mace the man that once told me his professor had said everyone in the country could benefit from a little Ritalin- well that may be true but as for me that stuff is almost as bad as Barr and it was probably generic since that was early on in my treatment but feeling ill may come at some point down the road for all of us when taking medication so having that prior to having to ask for the silver Bullet is a privilege when compared to the Nausea and miserable effects of some generic's! I know we all are different and so are those drugs! I have swapped this one for that one more than once and thanks to my doctor and not a few others not mentioned I am now heading in a different direction than I was prior to her help and it is because of an Herbal supplement and a an FDA acting in two different ways of thinking- taking an herbal root off the market- Ephedra. Yet promoting cheap generics which if monitored properly maybe we wouldn't have to be! The 21st. Anything is possible and I hope it's private! LOL!


I'm not perfect and most likely their are many like me so I have one hell of an Idea that I want to see become a reality so another person like myself does not have to spend 7 plus years trying to prove to anyone that they were being truthful although it had gotten sticky and was coming to a point that I needed a person to save my life before I found myself in a worse situation and that idea may take some real work to see as a reality or it may not!


I since I am not a doctor nor a therapist don't have nor have I had a chance to discuss it with my doctor but I hope too one day!


It certainly does not involve taking a person's life away from them on the premise that one roach seen is most likely only just the start of discovering more roaches! I'm one person that can say I'm the only roach! Lord I hope you let roaches into heaven cause I sure have been called one and worse but I'll take the roach designation any day but I stand up and say that many of us are in the same situation and should not ever have to endure 7 years of anything to kill one roach!


God Bless, Peace, Love and Knowledge and thank you CVS in Mobile for stocking the "real McCoy!"

Attitude?

Friends,


People spoiled me! In fact I spoiled myself?


Hell I don't know I used to could sell "Ice-water to an Eskimo" at least that is what they said!

Well that was prior to coming out of the closet!

Now I'm almost out the house and everything else in other words "what the Hell" happened?


I lost more than my confidence and every damn thing else including my self-respect because now I have other people giving me advice and man doesn't just make it wonderful.


I couldn't sell heaters to the eskimo's much less ice-water in fact I'm a distant cousin to the eskimos so let me shut up before I get some hate mail from them!

Look I need a damn car. I've bought hundreds at least it seems that way "Hell it could be close"!

Why?


That is the question of the day. I should have done something yesterday that I didn't do and that was buy a car!


Who knows if it really matters but it might save the day, me personally and get me in trouble but how?


See I can't even make a damn decision!


Shire with your real deal medications- I need you!


Can I call you every day and talk to the counselor?


They sure make coming out of the closet a pleasure!


God Bless, Peace, Love and Knowledge!

Dad-gum I'm going to apoligize for the A.M. Post. Because....

Friends,

I had hoped you would enjoy the new Friday week-end spirit lift for the majority of us I beleive if you don't mind me saying so but the finished product for Beauty of the day turned out to fill the page a tad more than expected and I must admit the Babes of the day post was somewhat larger than expected.

Laughing.

I'm sorry but I do have an excuse if you don't mind one of those on a Friday?

My 64 bit Internet Explorer needed an auto update I beleive because I just received it and prior to that the..... well that patch from windows didn't work because I just lost my line again so only one excuse is needed.

That's good I need one for next weeks lapses in correctness.

God bless, Peace, love and Knowledge!

Look like the Crimson Tide is just too much for Jags tonight!

Image via Wikipedia

Freinds,


Jag fans get ready for Saturday and a noon CDT tip-off with the Louisville Cardinals up there and well see if tonight's tangle with The Alabama Crimson Tide pays some dividends for the young inexperienced team that Coach Ronnie Arrow is molding here in South Alabama!


The game was close at the half with Alabama holding only a marginal lead but half-way through the second half things started getting out of hand especially with an injury to the Jags inside man. Any injury to your hand, wrist or otherwise can be just enough to make it a different feel for the young man.


Ronnie Arrow is now 1-1 against the Alabama Crimson Tide as The tide prepares to travel to Purdue; after the two aforementioned road games for the Tide and Jags they both take a week off before resuming play.


The University of Alabama is now or shortly will be 4-3 as the the University of South Alabama Jaguars continue their schedule at 2-4!


Go Jags!


Roll Tide Roll!


I'm just about past my bedtime so let me go for now so I can get up tomorrow and resume my schedule whatever that may be in trying to right my program!

Hopefully the Jags will make a late run and make it respectable after 43 years of play and 1200 games played much to the delight of us Basketball fans here in South Alabama!


God Bless, Peace, Love and knowledge!

It's great to be from Alabama and ............

Friends,

It's great to be from Alabama and ADHD too because we get the best of both world's!

Although our ADHD is not curable in the true since of the word, Life may get us down and with the right doctor, communication and medication we can over come both- Depression and ADHD!

All we need is as stated above and the following:

1.)  Support that understands why were down.
2.) Support that understands the ADHD mind- I'm talking family.
3.) Insurance(?) The question mark is because I'm just not sure if the government health care plan covers and understands us as well and no offense to the surgeon General because without reading the entire plan or parts there of I can't comment with confidence on the subject. I will as soon as I can and with her being from Mobile, Alabama and with the Trauma we all in the military as civilians over the last Ten years have experienced; God knows we need to help everyone be there very best!
4.) Love and support because it takes time and effort broth sides as the patient and the health provider and their team!
5.) As a patient your #1 goal should be to ask for research avenues be it the most respected experts in your area, region and country as well suggested reading material by your doctor.
6.) The only thing I would add would be to read past, present and stay current with future research in the area of ADHD and that one word we hate to admit to ourselves sometimes I mentioned- Depression!
7.) #2 goal find patience enough to allow everything to work out for you and your family!

*To the rest of the world what I have stated above most likely holds true in your lives as well given the human nature and the nature of our planet! Yes I can say that as a Christian please think of that yourself because I know we all come to believe in God almighty and I hope you also find solace and peace in the words of

My savior Jesus Christ through your own path! My opinion and that of those I respect most likely the most because nobody talks anymore face to face to know.
My belief is that there maybe a false religion arise one day but it will be based on the teachings of one man against our belief in One God that has many answers to our questions but like I said we are humans created equally and God knows us because we were created in his image on his schedule! 

God Bless, Peace, Love and knowledge!

ADHD & Depressed? I'm the real Deal! Ruined......

Friends and foe alike,

I just got my Modem back after the storms we recently had.

I'm the real Deal. ADHD and ruined in a program designed for somebody else.

Supposedly to tear you down and build you back better than new. Well they couldn't they couldn't do that for Humpty Dumpty and I was much more than Humpty dumpty!

Thanks for the wonderful help now that I have the confidence of a one-celled organism!

Suda- Fed might get you out of the house. Phentermine might save your life but the original Adderall XR by Shire if they aren't the program directors was the best!

I would be angry but I'm not what good would it do?

God Bless, Peace, Love and knowledge!

A fool fool for you and not you!

Friends and foe alike,

Life is a trip isn't it.

You try to be nice about things and then somebody decides to play with you a little bit and have some fun it sure aint like the twentieth when I was oblivious to everybody but myself.

The only reason I paid attention to anything was a little white cross that was pure and simple and made life a little easier to focus, concentrate and become a pretty decent salesman where in the past I had worked construction and maintenance and my my wife worked and night so I got act like I was taking care of my kids and once they went to bed I played like I was thinking about business and talked to my dad for an hour every night.

I wished I was with my wife more but she worked all the time mostly and so did I so we kinda passed in the doorway!

Now I have this bunch of folks that are trying to help me and they are killing me!
The more they push the worse I feel. They want me off this and on this and who the hell knows what is next.

They did want me in this and in that and that just taught me that there were people worse off than me and now I'm useless worrying about not being on what works and being on what they were on and somebody hollering "let's help the poor SOB again and try him on something else or get him off something" or better yet my worst fear is going back and seeing those same people in the same damn shape they were in or worse!

Hell my crazy self has to post out how insane I am and how mad I am at people that didn't want me to get the help I already had setup but get the help they wanted so now I just manage my pain and hope I can keep somebody from trying to get me off my Adderall as fast they can and then blame me the rest of the month. While I get advice on what bi-polar medicine they think I should be on!

A trip to see Alan Jackson the first concert I've seen in years and seeing the normal people having fun and I got a little upbeat I had to ride home in a truck that is haunted with people I know that can't stand for anybody to have a good time and think they can see into the future so well they predicted where my truck would run out of gas out loud and not from my own mouth so I said to hell with it let me turn the radio down so I can at least understand what you are saying over my radio!

Well I stopped right where I was told five blocks ahead of time to stop and bought a red bull and since they hate red bulls and I wanted to have the upbeat mood I had when I was at the concert which could have been better if I had asked the person I thought wanted to go with me instead of somebody else like an idiot!

Anyway to close this out I wound up getting into an argument over if a person could drive and talk to these clowns at the same time which turned out okay because when I got home I took my sleeping meds tylenol pm and a  1-1/2 klonopin and hit the sack.

I was thinking about why I didn't have a date or take my camera because that show was great and it was a fine site to see some love and happiness along with some extracurical activities going on down low and up high so the damn world is still out here which to sum it up is why I'm not dead yet but sure feel betrayed!

You damn right in every way shape and form becuase I'm only 44 and tired of the crap I've been seeing and the crap I've been hearing from this good old boy group of people that hate me and what I stand for and that is what it is!

When I say something please listen and stand up because what I said this morning that happened last night happened and it should be punished to the maximun so that not one more person me you or one of our children should live in a place where we are punished for something new every day and told we are insane for speaking out!

I talked to a friend Saturday about a job and I know I can help them bottom line and right along beside my friend of 15 years that knows if I'm selling next to him he can count on an honest man that will make it happen but I can't do it without what I had in the 90's or the prescription equivalent and their are houses being built some damn where every day and I may not vote tomorrow because I got screwed last night bottom-line and it meant everything not to get screwed but a man can only take a sneak attack from some clowns that are carrying a banner of help and Christianity that reeks of greed and Communism and is certainly not the salvation my savior assured me of and that was after I used what god gave me and what great minds develop to make other things that God created capable of making life better and I for one am a christian that sees a better day when we move welfare minds over and get this country back to work with a democratic house senate and president! My safety net is fine but I'm ready to work.

I'm ADHD and I aint gonna put up with this crap of being kept up all night for no reason and then made to look like a damn idiot unless somebody is loving me!

My doctor is Katherine Ney in Daphne, Alabama "she is the best doctor that I have ever been too because she blocks out the static"!
Stop by or give the fine doctors and staff of APS Se of Al a call: 251-621-9167

Congratulations To South Carolina and "The Ball Coach"!

Friends,

Especially to the football fans that love college football and as an Alabama Fan that cried years ago when Alabama lost to Mississippi State and might Tonight if the loss wasn't to the "Class Individual" that is Coach Steve Spurrier and as one Bama fan among millions I hope we get a chance to meet again in the South Eastern Conference Championship Game and have some more fun!

Coach Spurrior it was fun to watch even if we did lose the damn thing!

Rollll Tide and Go Gamecocks!  I hope yall have fun celebrating the victory!

I know the "Ball Coach" won't spend much time celebrating because he plans on being in that game in December!

To the Bama Nation go on out and have dinner in Columbia, South Carolina Tonight! We'll be fine because Coach Saban aint gonna dwell on this too long because we have a December date to keep as well!

Luckily if you have dinner in Columbia the USC fans most likely wont throw Sugar on you like LSU did to my wife and our couple of friends that had dinner after losing to them in Birmingham at the 5th Quarter Restaurant years ago unless that is where The Game Cocks want to send us!

If so just laugh it off because it is one hell of a party on Bourbon Street anyway but Phoenix I hear is much nicer this year in any case!

Sincerely,

Floyd C. Wooley





P.S.- Heck we might get a chance to knock off a few other teams on the way back to Atlanta! 

Run through The ringer!

Friends,

I've been run through the ringer the last few days. I'm sleeping 12 to 13 hours a day.

I'm trying this one a day Adderall XR since I've been hounded so much on taking it twice a day and it works about as well I might think or I'm just insane and it's NOT really an Adderall XR in the capsule!

Now is that my lovely intimidaters best answer ever? Statement? Or should I stand and pledge allegiance that I'm angry when in fact that I'm worn out for some reason!

Anger? I've tried to post out some ideas, set-up a way to continue to either spew the truth or lies which is my readers decision to make not mine!

I love you all!

Peace, Love, knowledge and God Bless!

Adult ADHD? Having issues with outside pressure not to treat?

Image via Wikipedia

Friends,

Let's talk frankly about something here that is a seemingly widespread issue but may not be in another area.

ADHD can be treated successfully and life can be returned to the same state it may have been when you were untreated and truthfully didn't have a soul that knew you were legally treating yourself by accident.

If you were please contact me so that I'll know of the 300 million people in our country I'm not the only person thought to be lying about how well my Ephedrine worked before it was ruined by the addition of the cough medication that was added I am unable to spell! If you knew right now I'm laughing that I can't spell the worst thing I've ever endured having to take when I could have been on ADHD meds and not worrying about what may be next in life; to screw things up if I hadn't been just a busy builder taught to fear psychiatrist in the first place!

Friends if you are ADHD we need help on something and you and I both know what it is:

1.) Protecting our free will to make our own decisions of what, when and where we might want to work, play, *love.

2.) Protection from individuals, organizations or official mental health policies that may be only isolated area beliefs that are not the national standard or the general beliefs of any segment of the populice not neccessarily the majority that is uninformed on the subject of ADHD.

*Love: Ask me one day what I've been subjected too on this subject and what my definition is of the word Love!

The Company I once researched at one time discussed this issue on their public website. The statement was in regards to children and the tendency that people in their lives that may not beleive in ADHD and change their dosing by not giving them the noon dose of ritalin. The stated reason Concerta was developed and marketed as once a day ADHD control medication that I know of only two person's that claim to have been prescribed. The bottom-line is that if you know of my life story I was one of those people that didn't beleive at one time in my life in ADHD and with-held treatment on week-ends with my oldest son when he stayed at my house at my request -a foolish thing to do I admit and have told him now that he is an adult! Regardless of if it were the right medication or not in my opinion because I was uneducated a statement I have never made in this context.

I was the fool considering my own youthful experimentation on occasion that thankfully was in fact cured by the accidental use of an over the counter medication that everyone is hoping I die of so they can blame it when it could be some of this other medication I have been fed. Since losing it before being educated on the subject of ADHD out of desperation so that I could speak with my doctor in some way, shape or form that would lead to the truth sooner to help me do what I'm doing right now!

An outrageous Idea: Form an organization that's sole purpose would be to visit or possibly live with an ADHD adult for a 30 day period to do two things:

1.) To protect an individual from outside interference in their ADHD treatment.
2.) To by positive reinforcement help the adult patient maintain notes and compliance that makes their quality of life improved and helps them to lives worth living on a schedule that is consistant with an average life as lived in this country on a daily basis in a natural but somewhat sterile enviroment.

Living alone I thought would work at one time for 30 days if it could be without outside interference but that has not been protected in any way shape or form!

I have a police report where I have asked for such protection only to be scolded when I mentioned Adderall.

Idea: A seminar that our police could be involved in that would explain the newer and more difficult ways that a person can be harassed or have such interference disrupt their lives by either side of the fence with regard to such medications and their use. Separating street drugs from prescribed medications that are meant to help if not interfered with for any reason by technological harassment by communication.

It has taken me hours to write this because my computer has slowed down so much!

Thank You! God Bless Peace, Love and knowledge!

The Results of the comparison over a period of several months between Adderall XR by Shire and the generic version!

Image via Wikipedia

Friends & visitors,

The result is as conclusive as I can make out as an individual utilizing results that include symptom control, length of time that symptom control is achieved, the personal feelings I experienced when using the two or may still be experiencing with the XR by Shire due to it's smooth duration of control.

1.) The generic has a shorter length of symptom control.
2.) The Adderall XR by Shire has tested out to give symptom control with no real feeling of being on the medication for a period of 7 + hours as per yesterdays initial notes.
3.) The Adderall by Shire when it does begin to show in your feelings that naturally occur with most medications it has none of the "need to take another dose immediately" feeling as with the generic I have purchased and have regretted having to work with each time. Period! There is no doubt you will find some of this as well and the time of day the feelings return are much shorter with the generic making the afternoon be it at the office in the field or on the week-end with your family much less enjoyable for you as most likely you enjoyable for those around you simply because you don't feel as well as you can with the Adderall XR by Shire! 4.) An ADHD, ADD or person experiencing depression and has been prescribed and compared these two medications will surely feel a difference in their overall symptom control and general well being much as you would if you had a simple cold or stomach flu but not neccessarily in the same way only the effect one of those two may have on your over all feeling of well being depending on your prescribed dosage and the name brand vs the generic depending as well on your own metabolism, Etc.
5.) The Adderall by Shire as in the past has disappointed me in it's lenght of symptom control but I cannot say with any amount of certainity to this point that the once a day Vyvanse will replace a two a day dose of Adderall by Shire simply because it the Vyvanse has yet to offer the same result at the same or very close to the same price when insurance is used to purchase my medication. Your insurance and the retail price may vary but I must Add that CVS offers the closest comparable price apples to apples with my 60mg Adderall XR.
6.) I'm sorry to say the Vyvanse just does not last long enough to give the average person in my opinion symptom control that will provide the quality of life they deserve.
7.) Last but not of least importance is the fact that it would appear from my results in using any of the ADHD medications that if anyone, be it yourself or another disrupts your ability to have a decent nights rest the lenght of symptom control is lessoned with the medication at the same dose, etc!
8.) Note: I take as well if you remember from prior posts up to 2 1mg Clonazapams and a 20 mg daily dose of Cymbalta. Consider this along with your doctors instructions most importantly when trying successfully I hope in achieving your goals!

but what this story is about is driving while drowsy and why it tops my list as the worst situations to be in behind the wheel!

Friends, visitors, readers,
 I moved down here to Fairhope with high hopes after waging a six month battle to hang on to my wife and our home in Lake Forest up in Daphne, Al. but things kinda went to Hell in a hand basket for no reason really!

 I had the opportunity to put this car in nice condition last summer and fall about the time my wife left me after our vacation on the Beach in Gulf Shores, Al. But anyway I didn't know what the heck was going on I had just gotten everything paid up to date including the house payments except for a few bills that I still have over here in a file!

 Yeah I'm ADHD, depressed and need a little more than just a nudge to motivate me now so instead of your typical ADHD person that is 44 I am pretty much at the mercy of my insurance Company, BCBS of Al. My doctor whom I think is an angel from God which I hope is true for her sticking by my with everyone around me trying to prove depression is an anger thing and not a just down right sad affair to be involved in but hey I'm trying not to complain because life has been worse than it has this year!

 I mean last year and the year before that sucked big time! If they had been any worse I'd be dead now or drooling somewhere in a corner and that is nothing to laugh about once you know there are poor souls that are like that and kinda know it from time in their lives!

 It is like one flew over a Cuckoo's nest in my life well it was because I was so mean but I wasn't the igniter nor the fuel just the damn garbage that happened to be in wrong place at the right time in the right life but the wrong parallel universe kinda like Captain Kirk in Star Trek when he wakes up on the Evil Enterprise with a Spock from Hell! Nurse what's her name is someone I just can't say anything about because she keeps saving my life and some how like it or not me hers and it's me that needs to break free but no body around here wants to break free!

 I've done it before in my life and it seemed to shock, drag, pull or something the folks in my family back in line. Heck my Dad's done it so many times I learned from an expert on saving every damn thing under the sun after some kinda disaster be it an interstate, hurricane, oil embargo, another hurricane, this feud or that feud and it wasn't even my mother he was feuding with hell she saved his life several times and he even learned a little of that mixed martial arts my son likes so much from a black Irishman that happened to be white and a driveway once and I'm sorry I missed that episode of the Wooley's fighting for their life but I was at nursery school hiding from some guy in the dark that was trying to kill his wife!

 Funny thing back then the police didn't even seem to care he was there for what seemed like hours prowling around looking through the windows threatening to kill her while I and all the other kids laid real still and quiet hoping it would end soon but I was only 4 or 5 I guess and I hated that nursery school as much as my Dad hated people to talk down to him after he had worked his whole life and been screwed around so bad it amazes me that he is as nice as he is to any damn body! Thank God my mom and his employees hollered that day watch out Floyd! Well this fellow with a pipe that didn't like the fact my Dad had repeatedly asked he and the other "***** *********" to please don't block our driveway into the Exxon or Enco Travel stop at the time because the tide would be up soon and it the building would be flooded and we'd have to stop selling gasoline as fast as we could pump it!

 Yeah well my Dad caught the pipe with one hand and decked the guy with his other hand and I'm damn glad he did probabily a Republican only problem is he had a trooper say started it but it isn't any of the trooper's I know because Heck I built well my fine damn crews built four homes in less than four years and I think they are the most professional men I've ever met! Not my crews the troopers!

 No the men that built our homes and were fine tradesmen and carpenters know who they are and I do too damn-it! I'm supposed to be some idiot that didn't know his ass from a hole in the ground but it just so happens I know a lot about holes in the ground! I've drilled or well I've drilled holes in the ground in 7 Southern States and one week I stayed up with my whole crew for almost 7 days on nothing but a lot of lust and that I'm either ashamed of or bragging about but Bryan damn man you can't make love to a woman good enough to keep her out of my bed cause I was where I wanted to be but anyway I'm just an old cheat but I wasn't for 12 plus years and by God if I get a chance I'm gonna make somebody a fine husband or room-mate or something again in my life and she aint gonna have to worry about me unless she wants to and if so I'll try to keep my heart, work, family and life separate so it works out that I don't have to take the highest dosage of Adderall XR on planet Earth because I'm gonna get up out of this depression just like I must have before and beat all those odds and have something regardless of whether that SOB from Bay Minette likes it or not and to tell the truth I hope he is happy in his home and he should be. I have no idea but I really seriously the man is okay as well as his wife and that they both are enjoying the Taj Mahal!

 No I didn't go to court that day without a lawyer whenever the hell that day was when as far I can tell if my records and yes I have them like it or not as well as pictures show that we were trying like hell to get back on a schedule my dumb ass agreed to that was not even required by our contract and it was a cash damn deal to boot! We were trying to get the damn drywall mud dry in January or February with heaters and fans when they kicked us out for some penny Anni claims well show me I'm the builder for God's sakes not some courier!

 They are lucky the damn thing didn't rot down after Ivan and I hope it is serving them well but I was so depressed when they walked in especially after telling me when I called on Christmas Eve or so to wish them a Merry Christmas I was told "Son you will never own another thing when I get through with you" and you know what I almost lost more than everything the day that storm hit! Fortunately I wasn't one of the unlucky one's but some were so God Bless them and I'm just glad when I fell asleep at the wheel on the way home from my parents home " this one" that September afternoon after meeting Craig Hamilton here to find he and his crew almost finished boarding up my Dad's windows because by that time I was so tired I couldn't even hold up my electric drill and I was embarrassed as hell over that because I didn't anybody understood why I had been up for two days prior to that storm noe the circumstances but I was awake on pure will!

 It was wonderful to think if I made it home that day all I had to deal with was my home! All but 1 of the 13 in three counties we had underconstruction were secured and the one not secured is the one that it looked like a bobmb went off in the neighborhood hell the county- Escambia County, Alabama.

 Atmore days after and months after Ivan which is 20-30 miles inland looked like a straight line wind of over a hundred miles an hour had come through and leveled every Oak tree in the county but our home only has little water get in around the front door and a little aluminum trim damage thanks to the fact the f-3 Tornado that leveled the pine forest across the street had missed it! that tornado track was several hundred yards wide it seems to me in my memory and well over a mile in length!

 In Gulf Shores we couldn't get to the house we had planned to set piling on the day of the storm for quite a while. I can't remember how long without looking it up but the 6,000.00 piling were washed over in the swamp and I had someone bitch at me for not dragging them out days after the storm! Heck I nor my supplier could help that we couldn't get them picked up prior to the hurricane in fact there was another home next door that if they carpenters trailer hadn't been in the way I think they could have picked them up but he the carpenter claimed we blocked him in and who knows hell he's lucky he didn't lose more than his covered trailer that he left down there and I damn seriously doubt those piling were in his way I think it was the other way around but by the time he caught us down and out of money our Comapny was easy pickings!

 My day wasn't quite over that afternoon and I'm not sure if the wreck almost killed me or the generator under the carport didn't almost kill us all that night which was my second time in one day that I could have , should have feel right now like a little less milk when I was child and I'd have been decapitated anyway and I mean now not then! I need to go rex-ray the damn thing but I'm allergic to pain medicine and so is my Dad so we just have to suck it up!

 My wife had already made it to the house ahead of me and Lee my oldest son who was in Elberta last time I talked with him in my 02 1500 HD GMC 4 x4 pulling the trailer I had custom built to carry 16' lumber out in Elsanor that I eventually had to sell to my site work contractor to cover one of the last foundations poured because the cost of materials and labor well not the labor to pour- Jessie wouldn't do that too me nor the foundation work or the site work it was every damn thing else it took to build anything that went sky high down here on the coast that if you think 38 or 39% nationwide in five years is a lot for the average prices to jump you should have heard the man quote me 2.50 a square foot to hang and finish dry-wall and seen my reaction to that when I had failed to give my original and I hope yes I consider him a friend too quit prior to Ivan because I guess I didn't realize and raise him from the .39 a square foot I had been paying him!
 Evon worked his ass off for me and I had noticed his stress and had planned to raise his rate on my own without his asking but I just didn't get it done in time! Sometimes we are already stressed in the building business since we were officially only fighting one world war by then and people had gone crazy wanting houses which I almost built one my self but decided to wait one more year only to lose my land after Ivan along with my paltry 41,000.00 dividend and well we can cover that later. I left it in the company because it had been a wt spring and a bad one for trying to find framers that would show up and work and so I felt it was better to leave the money in the damn thing and hire a full-time book-keeper to keep my wife from being over-whelmed because of the business we eventually had that year! It was a late sales year to top things off and I had discounted a couple of things here and there to help the salesmen and the company keep our crews that we had expected to need and I certainly wanted our labor paid each week so they would be there like they were in most cases when it did break loose which it did in may & June instead of April like it usually does or has built up to the sales month I had seen in my previous years with Dukes, Dobbins, Elizabeth and Rhinetta homes as well as Classic Southern homes My Company! Yes mine and my wife was never supposed to be in any danger of filing personal bankruptcy for one reason and one only to protect her but Hell I never expected to go under anyway but I did live through the eighties and remember our family business struggling through the Reagan and Bush years trying to get paid as well in the marine business.

 As I said I had worked day and night believe it or not after coming home from Jamaica from a nice three day or maybe it was four days ready to take on whatever it took to help my son and brother-in-law continue to learn the business as well as put together another business that I know would have been a success if not for the hurricane as well with a friend that I'd known so long I feel like we are brother's! It was formed and began operation as a Metal roofing business that God knows I had felt would compliment what we had already begun and put Barry and his wife on their feet like I knew my wife and I were so close to being in a way that would make their lives better and if they held costs in check which I was in semi-charge of prior to the hurricane they could have weathered this depression we are slowly climbing out of thanks to President O'bama!

 Back to the day of Ivan! I had planned on it being possibly damaging to our homes that were I felt vulnerable due to the stages of construction they were in an when I last talked to Lee he was leaving Elberta the location of one especially vulnerable because of the fact the garage faced open to the North and the garage door Company although scheduled to install the door that day or the next was unable to do so leaving the freshly painted home that was waiting on floor coverings and exterior trim as the most sizable of projects left prior to completion a worry in my mind.

 My main concern was getting home awake after hitting the wall here at my Dad's that afternoon! I told everyone I couldn't make it home but it was becoming clear Ivan would be much more of a storm than many had thought but my experience with Frederic and Elena in 1985 had me concerned days earlier as it made it's way up the gap that Cape Verde storms that threaten us seriously seem to travel. A west-northwest course through the carribean just south of or over hispaniola and cuba. Ivan actually had come up the gap a little south of there and had turned more northerly in direction after traversing Jamaica, at least the northern side of the eye wall when it made the turn north and crossed the tip of Cuba around midnight of the 13th I was trying to not let it get me into a mood that it was a threat. I already knew a home in Foley or Gulf Shores that I had made the framers take the fascia down and was planning to bevel as per code prior to inspection was at risk but thank God our plywood decking was nailed well and it had little if any damage other than the dry-wall stacked in the garage to be hung the next week getting wet and my asking our supplier to pick it up and replace it for the homeowners peace of mind after the storm that home faired extremely well!

 I had a cup of coffee here before I left and a sandwich I think but I should have had an IV drip of coffee if the damn mini-thins had been anygood then I'd have been fine but they were sickening by then and of no use to me other than to make me vomit and they certainly had lost most of their relaxing ADHD symptom control and the alertness that probably saved more lives than the 15,000 people that complained they couldn't fall asleep on the damn things in those FDA reports I speak of! Well there are worse things than not being able to go to sleeep!

 I didn't even take the zanax my doctor prescribed me and had for years because the sedative effect coupled with the cough medicine made you miserable as hell after they started putting it in the Ephedrine, Sob's!

 Look I and anyone that has ever owned, worked for or been associated with a small, growing business or a Company that is on the rise knows what it is like to stop for coffee on a late trip only to do everything but shoot themselves with dart gun to stay awake after a long day either physically or mentally working! No we are all supposed to be super human but it just isn't that way and our families depend on us to be that super human so that they can have something we had or that a family had begun to recover from and that is most likely a Ultra conservative Republican administration that spends and cut us into war! Look at the last 100 years and see if I'm not telling the truth!

 President Clinton had kept her steady as you go for eight years in my opinion and then after although we had been attacked the Bush administration made decisions that have cost lives and trillions of dollars but that is their job to make those decisions and although President Clinton had Bin Laden under pressure with those cruise missiles and I'm sure special ops there was a problem in our security and we all know what it was. It certainly wasn't people that believe in the God of Abraham and moses it was and still is and will be radicals just as we have in our country that hate this one or that one for no reason other than to promote their on cause!

 I didn't have anyone to drive me home that September day in 2004 because it was getting hairy and so I left this house headed toward my own in Lake Forest. I should not have done it but I had to get home. I had talked with Valarie and we had decided that we would talk constantly on the Nextel of course two-way as I headed home. North on hwy 181, then left on hwy 64, then right on Pollard Road passing our model home on the way that is now Jubilee Veterinary.

 I had asked Bay Minette building Supply to drop 5 sheets actually it was more but I forget the number of sheets of  3/8 plywood it was so that several of us could board our windows and I had five sheets in my truck and a door unit laying on top that I didn't want to leave somewhere. I think I had thought of stopping at the O'Donnell home but I had already been there once and as I struggled by doing everything known to man including slapping myself in the face and all the other tactics including talking to my wife I turned right on Pollard and remember nothing after that point until!

 You see driving sedated is bad enough, drunk another, distracted another but drowsy is the worst of all because I distinctly remember turning onto pollard thinking I've got it made now and out I went! No warning, no chance to slap yourself nothing and if you have ever awaken ed on the interstate or become alert and thought damn how long have I been driving like this you understand! It my friends driving sleepy is the worst thing in the world and it scares me to death because it has happened twice that I've been off the road in my life and many times traveling from job to job!

 Not once since 1993 when I had a friend suggest Ephedrine for alertness, concentration, focus and concentration when again or prior trying to get a business established have I let that happen until that September day! I don't care what you call me I call me a fool for not being diagnosed years ago for running my engine til it was on empty then falling out at the end of a day! Then doing it again the next day trying to get organized mostly and what I may have leaned on my own I learned much more once I did go to a doctor and get on my computer! It took sometime but I owe my well being to BCBS of Alabama and Doctor Bergman and Doctor Ney for letting me in on the secret that some make into a conspiracy that some of us are wired differently. We are hyper focused on success sometimes in life but fall short because we run ourselves in the ground and the people around us sometimes look at that as a weakness but I will bet you this Davey Crockett didn't fall asleep for eight hours waiting at the Alamo and he damn sure fought to the last breath in his body which being worn out most likely cost him his life!
 When I awoke I had already went left into the ditch hit the embankment low as it is and had gone airborne only 15 or 20 feet maybe and landed in a pecan field with my foot on the gas and a slow realization I had 5 sheets of plywood and a door knock our the back window of my son's truck and that with that material slamming me in the head as it was still pinned to my left hand I had to get it off of me or I was in trouble. I didn't immediately stop because it was pouring rain and I thought I would get stuck all of this in a flash.
 I missed the Pecan trees and thankfully everyone else and their homes but no one was around as I found once back on the pavement and stopped. I have a little pain in my chest from taking my right arm and forcing that material off my head and daily pain in my neck from the pounding, I'm lucky I have a head!
 I notice that pain in my chest everything I lift anything of any weight and my left hand I couldn't open in fact didn't even realize I walked around with it closed until my wife asked me one day "Are you angry"? I said No and she said why don't you open your hand well who knows but it had grown almost shut without my exerting downward force on it to open it at some point but Cymbal ta and my own physical therapy have made it usable but it still hurts but so does my Dad's head from his industrial accident  I just regret not having a stimulant to keep me awake that day regardless of what anyone that reads this may think because that little wreck has made life even more difficult to explain and to manage all the other issues that came with having several homes damaged by that storm and the loss of our new drywall crew due to it's damage to their homes in Pensacola as well as the loss of carpenter's and roofers due to pressure to do the repair work.

 It was amazing pulling over the adrenaline rush I had upon awakening and realizing I had almost killed myself again and waiting on Valarie to get there to check for any damage to my person I had missed as their was a good bit of glass in my neck and back and I had a little blood here and there but I was alive and I was surprised that their was no one around. I think one car was still on the road but the adrenaline rush lasted for several hours I guess but later when I should have gone to or been at the hospital I was at home and after my wife and I spent some time talking in the bedroom I laid down and went to sleep again I do not remember even falling asleep I only have pictures to jog my memory and I do remember Val waking me up as the eye passed and as the wind switched to the west I was embarrassed that I had not planned that out. It was quite a night or days leading up to it to remember but as for me I know I want to be awake, alert and as in China stimulated even if they have to give the police as over there whatever it is that they hand out to drowsy drivers as I saw reported on CNN a year or two ago!

 There have been times since that day that I have asked my wife to drive and their have been times I should have been on a stimulant and not a sedative that I have driven and I almost have a heart attack at the thought of my family or anyone else making that fatal mistake because it is now you are awake now you aren't and you know it is coming before hand you just want to make it home and your life is not the only one at risk. In my youngr years I coulkd go 90 to nothing one minute and be asleep the nxt and not everyone does that not all the time!

 Lee's truck? I had it fixed I thought til I drove it one night on a tow line and I sure wish I new what happened to my nylon tow strap but anyway it still pulled even after that I do remember he was cool about it the day after the storm when he had to pull some under carriage and other parts off the truck and drive it with no window in the back so as it goes I know and some other not so fortunate people have had it much worse.

 My hats off to the North Carolina State player Natanu Mageo I think it is that fell asleep last year and lived to play in their game the other night I'm hoping I wrote it down right and I hope he as I or anyone else for that matter become drowsy, sleepy or fall asleep or have someone or something cause them harm from driving while not impaired on something that will save your life and not the other way around because coffee is on then it's off I've learned that following or driving across State. God following our old Texhoma 500 mounted on that Ford 800(?) with hydraulic brakes and a a V-8 I used to see two or three ahead of me and head for the one in the middle in my Dad's 78 El Camino that I rigged up a stereo in so I could use it to stay awake.
I bought Robert Plant's "shakin & stirred" cassette to have when we went to Montgomery in September 1985 to work at the Lex-an plant putting in de-watering systems for the excavation pits! Hottest dang place I've ever been in my life but they had a little restaurant on hwy 80(?) that had the best Chocolate pie for 2.00 you stand! We'd get back to the job and about two o'clock or earlier I'd look up at him and he'd look down at me and I knew he was thinking why did we do that again! I'd go from shoveling dirt as fast as I could to standing on the shovel with my eye's closed! Look we were sleeping right up the road next to the truck stop I saw my first fishnet blouse in back in 1978. Bill said "what you looking at cliff"? Hey it was '78 and hot- she and the weather! That was hell of a miserable trip to Chicago and back to get the 500 but it worth the ride on the dang motor cover in what was a little under powered low-boy! Another story for another time!

 I wish the Cadillac hadn't burned to the ground that night in Pensacola. The morning the wheel leaned over as we pulled in to the construction yard in Theodore on a Saturday morning when the upper ball joint came loose on the way back from Hattiesburg, Ms. I think we were putting in towers for the Coffee Company and it was either Eddie's Towers by then or  heck I can't remember his name but anyway a fine man in my opinion that owned the tower Company that we drilled for when I first started in the drilling business with my Dad & Walter in 1985! First job I was on was at the Grand Hotel in the sleet, water and wind off the bay! I wanted to quit and go back to work in the restaurant but stuck it out and have loved mud, concrete and just about any new smell from a building material ever since!

Love, Peace and knowledge!

Shire vs Generic Test today as per the editor Floyd C. Wooley

Image via Wikipedia

Friends, readers and visitors,

As you all are aware I am a avid Alabama Football Fan! You may not know that I once sold homes for several builders all owned by two families well three including mine eventually. As well you may not know that I self-medicated with an over the counter medication that could have and almost killed me if not for ignorance but for the fact it was diluted with a basic cough medicine that in fact is worse now- the dilution than ever! I think the ratio is 12.5 mg of Ephedrine to 200 mg of guissenifan.

I would be miserably ill if not worse if still trying to manage ADHD at that rate of dilution and dosage. You should also know if too young remember that until about 10 years ago you could buy this asthma/alertness/base for amphetamins (ADHD meds over the counter at your neighborhood gas station) with no added quissinifen! In my opinion which is only that it was a much safer alternative to caffeine then and would be now because it had a completely different chemical reaction in your brain if you are ADHD , ADD or NOT than caffeine.

You would make it home from a long trip awake and alert or you could concentrate on a late meeting or date!

The problem was knowledge and that is what makes self-medicating dangerous even with aspirin in some cases if you read the label! 25mg of Ephedrine x 6 in a 24 hour period would most likely not harm a dangerously high percentage of individuals as per the FDA reports!

Vitamin B makes me feel like I might have a heart attack and die so read your medications insert and see for yourself what percentage of persons had adverse reaction to it or even Aspirin!

Today I personally tested what I have tested in the past. Same result just fresher memory!

Adderall XR vs generic adderall xr fresh from the pharmacy- CVS to be exact!

60 mg of Adderall XR by Shire was the medication tested beginning at approximately 8:30 AM!

The result was only slightly surprising!

The name brand medication wins hands down and I'll break it down for you in terms we can all understand child, teen or adult!

I don't guarantee the result and in no way imply you should try this at home I'm under the care of a doctor that knows my dosage and desire to help myself and others without causing myself or anyone else harm!

Actually my real concern is with this generic medication! Unless I've been in a study without my knowledge there is a major difference-period!

I'll post the results tomorrow and please check them out they will be in a format you can all read and if not then something went wrong with my mind between today and tomorrow that would be an amazing turn of events to say the least!

Love, Peace and knowledge!

Floyd C. Wooley

P.S.- Just in case Shire Adderall XR 60 mg is smooth as silk and lasts 7 hours before you even notice any issues- none except one!

At 7 hours when you and millions of other men and women get ready to or have just left for home you feel a slight change in patience with your task, or it could be your family or co-workers so a second dose would be necessary in my general opinion to make it work through the evening with symptoms and side effects NOT being a problem! I'll finish tomorrow but dosing is up to your doctor and their diagnosis!

Shire medication has NO overwhelming desire to take another pill or you are going to die without it like the generic if I'm being treated square here! I'm square with you and I do have two other medications involved to consider in my state of mind so we'll put a time on them tomorrow consider!

Note: 1.) I had lunch a nice big one.
            2.) I watched most of the Bama game even some of it after it was out of reach                     for Duke!
             3.) I stopped and took a couple of breaks!
             4.) Studied this dern blog for signs it may pay for it's self!
             5.) Fed my dog supper which was baked Talpia!
             6.) Talked with friends and relatives about many topics!
             7.) Love life and truth with all my heart and maybe you too if  you            
                    are  anything like me!
No need to wrap much up tomorrow now but I do have something planned!

Today has been a busy, focused and productive day!

Friends,

Today has been a much more relaxed, focused and productive day for me! I have to say there is a reason for this and although very Technologically challenged and as impatient a person as you would ever meet particularly when it comes to learning anything new even when I want to learn it has been much different Today!

The progress and the feelings of success have come with some small mistakes worst of which I lost but will find the "New" more personal Title to this blog which is important as I delve into more stories from a life that has been pretty interesting at most times to say the least! LOL!

Thanks go to my doctor for changing my ADHD medication back to Adderall XR by Shire yesterday from my second attempt to utilize Vyvanse actually maybe the third when considering dose which I'm not discussing with you that is between you and your doctor.

Ty I'm not sure your regimen and I hope you don't mind my mentioning your name as I wish you well but I'm just more at ease with the XR. Maybe one day I'll learn the secret to making Vyvanse perform as it may for you I certainly don't know but I know one thing and that is Shire has had and will continue to have my complete confidence.

Ya'll I hope your evening goes well and as this site evolves you gain some information or direction one way or another that improves your quality of life!

Thanks! Let me find my lost material- hey nothing or no one but one was even close to perfect!
