Think we'll learn this time?

Maybe with history and vast knowledge at our fingertips we can stop making the same mistakes?

Insight - Intermittent hanging out

Often times there are people who you really really like hanging out with, but only once a month rather than daily or weekly.

I am like that with some people, it is like I express a particular side of myself when I am around them, but when I use up the juice that fuels that side of myself I then need a break during which I can replenish that juice.

I have felt this way many many times, and now I am learning how to recognize it in others.

Feel a pattern yourself, then figure out your friend feels the same way by the way he/she acts.

Makes me want to coin the term:

Golden Insight
understand others through understanding yourself, and then recognizing the patterns in them

In this is the idea that it is hard to understand another, without having experienced patterns similar to theirs

Tip for Food Cravings

I'm trying to get into shape, but due to my ADD I am pretty impulsive and often have intense cravings. Sometimes I can feel that I am physically full, yet I still crave the stimulation of foods like ice cream, doritos, cookies, etc.

Tip to take care of Food stimulation cravings:
Put something spicy like Chili Paste on your dishes. I like spicy stuff, and it gives my system lots of stimulation and I guess uses up the chemicals associated with the food stimulation desire.

I use Sambal Oelek, a fresh chili paste that you can get in an asian market. You could make your own, or find something similar at a standard grocery store.

Curry Chicken

Just made a really good Curry Chicken dish. Here's the recipe though you shouldn't cook the chicken and potatoes anywhere near as long as they do:
