Luminosity.comFriend's,
I would love to play some brain training puzzles, games, own a viable On-line and Brick & Mortar Business and take some courses On-line and maybe a class room!
I feel terrible physically right now but if I were to get better I would love to taka Shire's Vyvanse and/or Adderrall XR and expand my mind!
I know the medication works for all that it was intended and then some if only a person could be allowed to take it without fear of harm to them or the medication which harms Shire and everyone associated with the ADD, ADHD planet!
The patient, their, families, the doctor's that prescribe the medications and the supply chain all the way to the manufacture's team!
Anyway!
That's how I feel psychologically and physically is another story at 46 years old after eight years of shenanigans!
Thats why I want to move from this house! Painful memories- psychologically and physically! For Boo Boo and I and the whole planet as well that loves their families, work and education!
God bless, Peace, Love and Knowledge!
Floyd Clifton Wooley

Do you ever just get sick of hearing how perfect everyone is and keeping up!
Friends,
You would think I would be angry and hateful to the point I would have to be by this time after 7.5 years or so being told by doctor's one thing and treated like a complete outcast by the only family in America that knows they have the best percentage of being ADHD of most anyone else but refuse to admit it is not what it is not and that is a personality trait that is cured by sedatives although the benefit of the right medication is slowing the reaction time just enough that an already under normal conditions if ADHD a slightly quicker reaction time in the physical sense that is associated with impulsively and impulsive actions are one of the major symptoms we work to control without having to be Rambo! Rambo I guess would not need an anti-biotic or pain pill to survive his own surgery!
I have dealt with the dual edge sword of on the one hand having to control my sleep habits under pressure to fail in ways out of most people's thought field or pattern just a few years ago or at least it was not in mine and I took to using varied doses of ephedrine for many years not to fail but to succeed which every piece of evidence I would produce would in fact prove beyond a shadow of doubt that it did work to improve my life and my family's more so than I realized at the time or began to realize as it became less effective. Unfortunately I didn't have anyway to break my focus to succeed nor divert the drive forward with my business in a manner I can say is remembered at all in hind-sight another fact I have weigh heavily on me when I look at the distance between my doctor and my first office.
Later in the process of having an uncontrolled OTC as my primary and atually only medicine to treat and control much better than I realized even at the time and most helpful tool each day for years that were mostly peaceful- not made angry to prove me medicine was the issue a contention that be fact I would have to die and lose my mind to not have ingrained in my mind!
Each and every witness in my life would testify to a similiar if not definite pattern backed up by data!
The issue is not "he is addicted and won't go to sleep thus he needs to give up take the cheap medicine and forget life at 45 but exactly the opposite is true. The best medication ironically other than that OTC is the most expensive a fact I have tested in every way imaginable!
In fact the bottom-line is that in deed my family has ignored and resisted for the most part the truth to the point that I only feel comfortable around people that have had just enough success in life or much more in many cases that has to help them to realize the difference a cheap generic has on us when a better although to be like taking an aspirin for a migraine!
The ingredients in fact don't have to be the same with generics as I tested again the othr day when my son was ill and I went to purchase his anti-nausea medication- Emetrol at Rite-aid. Completely different and the Emetrol is 2.00 more to boot but I bought it because I felt it would work best and to my knowledge it always has.
The additional money for a medication is a simple decision to make in any one's mind you would think if anyone but you was convinced the medication either one or two things 1. Worked. 2. Didn't not work. You could find that a consensus would be hard to find among people of like mind but differing ideas of what is best for a person not different now than when he had nearly a million dollars a month being collected for his company's operation at times that began and only ended because of a hurricane and a natural disaster being responsible for a 750,000.00 thousand dollar short-fall over the last quarter of 2004 when compared to the same period in 2003!
Not another issue nor any other the only issue that would have prevented my success that year was a hurricane!
Now I just look forward to the time when I as a free person may have the opportunity to not live among people that are impatient and attacking like banzees while slowly using a psychological ploy used by enough so-called mental health professionals to irritate an already disgusted man because his OTC did the same job as the Shire!
Thus it would be apparent immediately if distraction were employed in an unnatural way in my situation that it would do harm almost immediately to one's psychological state of mind but and it's a big but I hope that will not be an issue that can't heal to some extent with time away and to retest myself in a more normal set of circumstances thus solving any if it really exists perceived idea I just refuse to go to sleep!
The sleep issue is another all together and with a little shove into a feeling of further and further loss of time a driven but now depressed easily person need as much life emotionally as a higher quality ADHD
So if it be your decision to consider my call for a 30 day immediate stay from any action by my family in this matter for whatever reason I may have laid out as possible I would like to set about the job of proving the little man can rebound from disaster as well as acquire an attorney!
Friends the paper or article you have just written would be my opening statement if I were so unfortunate as to not have an attorney to defend me in an action that is more correctly described as an ambush to anyone that has been surprised and and hauled off to a one-way session of court if you are in fact the fact the only that hasn't prepared. If not considered as a viable choice many a person in our country would suffer the same fate over and over until it appears they lose the will to even defend themselves based on my observation of the poor souls.
I hope none of the people that read this ever have the unfortunate events that have been only slightly explored because of the time involved in introducing the facts in short order at least hopefully to the extent a chance will be afforded to introduce not just circumstantial evidence but evidence that is backed up by the facts that simply scanning a copy of my Social Security income statement would most likely prove as evidence of the OTC's success and the prescription medication certainly deserves the same consideration to not be seen as less than as useful as the OTC for every reason that we as patients and our doctor's as monitor's of our progress have to have seen at least once or they would give up on us as quickly as an ADHD and Type A family that has splintered over a situation for more reasons than were apparent in the fall of 2005!
God Bless, Peace, Love and knowledge and in a parting comment for Today it although negative may be of positive use to you one day. That is that there is a marked and noticeable drop in your family as a wholes mental and psychological view of you once you announce the symptom's so please don't let the slight evidence of that in your own life get to you too bad! It will be permanent and noticeable but the help of a professional beats the trial and error of an over the counter medicine not protected even to be available next week much less next year and you have a crisis that rivals well please see me income statement and also that of my ex-wife Valarie as well since I always had intended as was done to my recollection that being fact that her income increased as well and to a higher degree than mine by purpose!
Sincerely,
Floyd C. Wooley

Oh the pluses and minus of life!
Friends,
Isn't it amazing how our lives are so much more alike in ways we never give much thought too? Especially if were looking across the table at someone else.
Some of you may call this useless information but I love to call it looking at the situation from both points of view which is hard to accomplish because we have our own leanings one way or another based on our own lives and what works or that we find that works although!
Life is like a Hot sunny day in the south it can be wonderful at Sunrise, Storm in the afternoon and end on cool note leading to a night spent for some of us at times when we are with someone else!
Personally I can find Storms exciting mainly because the excitement comes reaches a plateau and gently ends in a slow drizzle that leads to that cooler night we often enjoy but not every day- only occassionaly!
Occassionaly is based on those factors that each one of us consider important in our lives and that brings us back to the original point!
I hope you give it some thought and it gives you some peace of mind or enjoyment and doesn't end on a sour note!
God Bless, Peace, Love and knowledge!

God Bless, Peace, Love and knowledge!
-Floyd C. Wooley

I can't say pun intended so your smart kids I apoligize to your conservative parents for the joke!Thanks to Adderall Xr for a life to be lived on as in then the last 15 years paying attention to something! Okay maybe 18 years!

Today has been quite positive and informative not to mention..
Today has been quite positive and informative not to mention.. I met and enjoyed conversing with a very nice, intelligent and attractive I might add individual that should be able to correct some issues with my two sites.
I only vaguely describe the person as like they said upon leaving my office "Let's get all these issues worked out before we advertise our abilities" unquote!
I certainly feel like we made progress so that is what matters and we will give credit where credit is due when given the green light so to speak.
I want to write on a particular subject this afternoon that I had planned to have ready for posting prior to Today as today is of course the first day that will live in infamy as our once brilliant and disabled but very capable President Franklin Roosevelt described it upon the Nation learning of the attack on Pearl Harbor on this date December 7, 1941!
I'll try to get it done before hopefully most of you get home from work or if your are already home by 7 or 8 pm as it is a date that has lived in infamy and I might get embroiled in watching TORA! TORA! TORA! the original version if I wait to late!
God Bless those members of our country that lived, fought and died or were wounded that day and their families just as we do the one's that did the same on September 11, 2001!
Love, Peace and knowledge as well my friends!

The Heck with the Stars! I just bought Food and Gas!
Image via WikipediaWhat the Hell!
How many of you right now give a hoot about how much some one that makes $250,000.00 pays in Taxes except that they should pay the same dang amount they paid in the Clinton years!!!!
When in fact:
1.) We helped win a war in Bosnia!
2.) Gas was at one time in the late 90's 89.9 a gallon!
3.) Unemployment in beautiful Baldwin County, Alabama was 2-3%!
4.) Interest rates were higher for God's sakes so at least you made a dime on savings!
5.) What else to I have to Add to get my point across?
6.) I never had heard of Bi-polar but I knew I was ADHD and could treat myself!
So Tax the Hell out them folks making all the money if they exist!
Lower our Taxes so we can eat and if you get that GAS price down we might go somewhere and spend the balance on some durable goods made here, there, anywhere!
Food prices will come down with the damn Gas prices!
The economy will flourish and we might even be able to get financing for somebody that owns some land somewhere- even if it was gifted to them by their poor old family!
With all due respect President Obama and members of our miserable excuse for a Congress- hire every last person that was in the Clinton administration, NOW!
Robert Reich is 1st on the list okay?
9.8% unemployment double that and you might have the closer number and who has time or the patience when you are up to your eyeballs in this economy to go back to school and for what exactly!
I don't know about you but I want to do what I used to do!
God Bless, Peace, Love and for God's sakes some knowledge!

I have to hurry this post because I just woke up but.......
Image by eutrophication&hypoxia via FlickrFoe y'all can read this too. Damn my ex-wife just called and screwed up this post that bitch!
Oh yeah I shouldn't say that cause well she is or she would come get all these momento's that keep getting me in trouble because the last thing you want unless you or out get an ADHD S.O.B. is leave him some memento's and and NO money except disability that he doesn't feel he deserves when he is on the right drugs!
Botton-line is she was nice no she wasn't damn-it ah who the hell knows!
The point is me and my guard dog that's in heat are going to have some of the there Chinese imported by way of them Yankee devils up in Seattle to my local Sam Walton-Mart- Tilapia!
Y'all may not have seen the dumb ass report on local television by our wonderful State of Alabama department of Health down troddin China and Vietnam which happen to be our friends now last I looked at my Crimson Tide hat and shoe import labels!
If Yall ran off the Chinese Automotive plant that may or may not be planned for Bay Minette and I had the land like the Barber's down on Perdido Bay I'd build or maybe they should and sede that portion of alabama over to the Eastern Shore including all of Baldwin County back to Florida!
I'm too ADHD/Crazy to work inthe damn thing but somebody could use a job working there or building some houses on the south end of the county!
I'll let you know hoe polluted it turns out to be! I doubt the Walton's would poison us too bad except for that one shipment of Tilapia I haven't finished and I hope they took off the shelf which maybe they did- I damn sure haven't looked for that oily stuff again!
By the way half that bay is in Alabama!
God Bless, Peace, Love and knowledge!

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!
Search Amazon.com for ladies mini sweater dress
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!

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!

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!

Coming soon several reasons why you should never drive the least bit drowsy! A True life account.
Image via WikipediaThere is a danger out there that most us take for granted until we are in the situation and it tops the list of things not to do when driving, possibly even out distancing having a drink or texting! The reason is simple and the story justifies the end.
I'll have it up for you and hopefully your young driver in the house to read soon.
I think your young driver as well as some of you that are a little older will enjoy and reconsider the next time you feel "you may just reconsider that drive home " on 1 cup of coffee!

Shire vs Generic Test today as per the editor Floyd C. Wooley
Image via WikipediaAs 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!
A review of the HP2050 Printer.
Image via WikipediaI have to let you know one thing that I'm sorry to say I fell for and it was the HP 2050 Printer!
The price made it look mighty inviting at 49.99 especially with the price of ink cartridges as expensive as they are and had been for my other printer the HP 5550 that I have had for several years that works fine and I would recommend to anyone doing any moderate to heavy printing! The HP 5550 uses the 56,57 & 58 cartridges that although more expensive last for months depending on use and list on the package "I believe how many copies to expect" from use.
The problem with the HP 2050 is that the ink cartridges only last last a short time. I haven't counted the number of copies actually that I was able to get from the cartridges that were purchased to replace the ones in the box but it is ridiculous for anyone that loves to keep copies or print photos!
I was fooled by the half-price advertisement on ink cartridges that is all there is too it!
I just thought you might like to know if you haven't already experienced this problem.
You might want to compare ink cartridge models for one of the HP printers on Amazon.
I have had very good luck with HP Printers in the past and the 2050 is okay for someone that doesn't use their printer much! To nail it down it is the 60 & 61 cartridges that work on the 2050.
Love, Peace and Knowledge!

A few words of encouragement
July 13, 2010 - Tuesday
A few words of encouragement!
Current mood: thoughtful
Category: Jobs, Work, Careers
Be some kind of success that makes everyone around you take notice and wonder what is this person's story that they are having such accomplishments against odds that were assumed impossible & just smile and take it as a compliment to see in their eyes amazement and do it with class not arrogance only a personal uplifting of your spirit!
Remember if you are a little older that it was done before most of these people knew you and became involved to begin with! Keep it too yourself unless someone in your life helped you to make it happen!
