     Perhaps for a "normal" individual, 20 cups may be too much but my 
     system seems to be able to handle it. I have always reacted in a 
     different manner to all types of stimuli. I have the ability to
     concentrate on things. I was very hyper as a child but not anymore.
     I still can listen to the radio, read and understand what is going on
     around me. I feel in control of myself and have for many years. I just
     realize that since I had children and grandchildren with ADHD and ADD,
     that I may, too, be a part of the pattern. If I had ADD, I must have
     just had a touch of it. I was a talker as a child, I had trouble sitting
     still unless I was reading, I was impatient. As I grew older, I was
     able to control all of this. As I had my children, I was able to handle
     their hyperactivity because of remembering mine. And now with my grand-
     children, I do the same. I am content with the me that I am.
