I’m amazed at how many parents, including ones of my generation [millenials], are afraid of ADHD medication. Especially considering the volume of research on ADHD and the effectiveness of stimulants that has come out since the 90’s.

“But it will change little Timmy’s personality.”

Yeah, that’s hyperactivity. Not his personality. People don’t normally act like the Looney Toons Tazmanian Devil on crack.

“But he might become dependent on it.”

And i’m sure people with missing limbs spend a lot of time worrying about becoming dependent on prosthetics. You know what you should really be concerned about him becoming dependent on? Drugs and alcohol. Because self-medicating is real and the statistics are not in Timmy’s favor.

Fair.

They have a concept of a plan.

This is one of the best descriptions of the “AI Economy” that I’ve heard so far.

Explanation:

Arthur E. Anderson was a giant in the world of accountants. Hard working, innovative, and a notorious stickler for honesty. By the time of his death in 1947, the firm bearing his name was among the largest and most trusted accounting and auditing firms in the entire world.

Ironically, the firm collapsed just over 50 years later in the wake of the 2001 Enron accounting scandal. Arthur Anderson was Enron’s auditor and while they ultimately prevailed in the ensuing legal battles over the firms complicity in the scandal, their reputation was so badly damaged that they were unable to continue as a going concern, reducing the “Big 5” accounting firms to four.

I wish that were not a true story.

How about “terrorism” or “national security threat”?

Should have splurged on the Curtis-Mathes console. TV, Record Player, Casette, and 8-Track all in one.

If they still sold refrigerators in harvest gold, my wife would be working overtime on talking me into buying one.

An investigation into acts of self-pleasure among parrots and other birds has reached a climax, with the results providing welcome relief for vets and researchers, not to mention the birds themselves.

Asked if they showed any signs of self-loathing or Catholic guilt, Heys thought not. “I don’t want to say satisfied, but they do look different after they finish. It’s obviously doing something for them.”

Someone was having a little too much fun with this article.

Not as much as I used to, sadly. I don’t remember what the first thing I volunteered for was but I suspect I started doing it because I was asked. I volunteered a lot more when I worked at a company that encouraged community service and would give their employees time to do volunteer work during business hours.

Nano is the proper tool for this job.

The Germans were pissed when the American’s showed up with shotguns. Can you imagine the protests if they showed up with T. R.?

Just make a routine!

I have a routine that rivals a priest on Easter Sunday. But the best written homily doesn’t undo the fact that the organist is about to start the prelude and for the life of me, I can’t figure out where those damned communion wafers have gone even though I swear I just saw them!
