Jump in the ADHD Bandwagon and Line up with Stars!


I don't know about you but when I so love an actor, I make it a point to watch all of his movies. If he's in the movie, then it's a must-watch for me. That's the case with me and Johnny Depp and Will Smith :) and apparently, my persistent fascination with Smith has also convinced me that having ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) isn't really a bad thing. Why? Because he has it. He admits that he had trouble paying attention when he was young. More so, he says that reading was a task a bit difficult for him.

Joining Smith is one of my favorite comedians - Jim Carrey (though Adam Sandler comes first). They say that his zany antics were caused by his ADHD.

The pop singer Justin Timberlake also admits that he has ADD mixed with OCD and even Paris Hilton (yes, that blonde, rich, sexy socialite) revealed in an interview that she is trying to manage the ADHD she was diagnosed with when she was 12. Last but not the least, the Deal or No Deal host Howie Mandel has also been reported to have ADHD.


*** SNOOP ON ADHD FACTS *** 
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a typical behavioral disorder which has been reported to affect about 10% of school-age kids worldwide. There are three types of ADHD conditions - the inattentive type, hyperactive-impulsive type, and the combined type.

Basically, people with ADHD are hyperactive. They have trouble focusing and paying attention to details. Some also fidget and squirm uncontrollably and talk or walk around excessively.

Contrary to popular misconceptions, poor parenting, too much sugar, and vaccines do not cause this disorder. ADHD is actually a biological condition. Though it cannot be cured, its symptoms can be successfully managed through medication and behavioral therapy.

Proposing? Give her the Engagement Mouse

Diamond engagement rings are ancient.

This mouse from Pat Says Now costs $26,730 or just about PHP 1,246,503.83, a fair price to pay for getting a lovely lady to share a life-long adventure with you and to be the mommy of your kids.

Is Your Baby Using a Killer Crib?

In the United States, thousands of cribs from Graco and Simplicity were recalled last week after the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said that both brands were linked to several infant accidents and deaths. Based on a news report, the government also issued a warning that babies could strangle or suffocate from the ‘hardware failures’ of the cribs from the said brands. Apparently, the dropsides of Graco wooden cribs were easy to detach or break. Once detached, a gap is created between the dropped side and the mattress. If caught in the gap, there is a high risk that the baby might suffocate. The brand has received 99 complaints but none of which involved serious injuries. As for Simplicity however, CPSC reports that their full-sized cribs have tubular metal mattress-support frames which are easy to bend and detach. As a result, the mattress can collapse and the baby can roll into the space and be trapped. They also noted that this brand’s cribs and bassinets have been ...
