My Rosemary plant is doing fantastic. I love that plant. Every time I water it it sends out a wave of fragrance, like it's thanking me. I always tell it 'you are welcome'....yes, I talk to my plants also, LOL.
After we shared meals with our Amish neighbors a few times I told DH that every child should spend a month in an Amish household. There would be far fewer problem kids and kids on behavior control drugs. Don't ever hear of Amish kids on ADHD drugs. Kinda like that South Park episode where the child behavior specialist asks somebody how to deal with a child who wouldn't do their home work. Kid was sitting there screaming it's lungs out and bouncing up and down. Specialist whaps him a good one and says SHUT UP AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Kid immediately shuts up and gets busy. Sorry, but that is how Amish deal with kids. They should have a sign hanging in their kitchen that says No Rod Was Spared in the Raising of These Children.
Before I get flamed, I know there are children that really do need medicating but you would be stunned if I was to tell you the percentage of kids we saw in our office who were on some drugs that could only be considered 'big gun psychotropics'. Many were so drugged that you could not keep them alert enough to do the testing or the fitting for their glasses. I once had to hold a child's eyelids open so I could get measurements for his lenses. Ask the parents if they thought their child was over medicated and they would just give you a blank look and shrug. Made me wonder if they were dipping into the pill bottle also.
