Dark: Didn't even think of that, "some people just feel that they need something to go on..", and vice versa, that some think it's that thing, that causes the fire to grow. Funny thing is, my sister has been like that since she was a kid...this position I'm in, or rather was in with anxiety...never really took in account her position before. Honestly, I just thought she was constantly looking for a fight when she made incoherent blames at things that had no place in the argument. Maybe this experience really was a Godsend.
That'd be real cool to have a conversation! Although, it will be a bit hard right now as I only have internet access at work, or when I visit my parents (which isn't too often, and also why I rarely post on weekends). When I do though, if it's ok, I think it would be cool to add a few heads to the conversation, as everyone on here really gets my nuerons flowing in different ways...anyone who wouldn't mind joining. A flower is only beautiful with all it's pedals, no?
Gene: To give someone a drug without being aware is a very sensitive issue. All it will take is a few to bring the project down before tangible data is found. Personally, I think it would be easier to monitor personality traits, and relate that to the drug/placebo. As people can be broken down to stereotypes. Research by the "Tree" method, where there's the core (placebo/real), and each branch is a personality type. From this other researchers can add "leaves", other tidbits such as family, friends, global happenings, life happenings, and other contributable factors. I don't know if that's a word..."contributable". Aha...I like it for some reason though.
Lol Kitt, I'm so happy I never have to worry about Midol! I took Nodoz before, which is something that wakes you up and keeps you up..good God almighty, I looked like a chihuahua with how much I was shaking...so glad I can laugh at that now.
