I clicked the article expecting an analysis of how Turlington was somehow infantilized by this ad campaign. It seems instead that we've chosen to sub out the odious term "real women" for "grown women."

Yeah, if I were to see that ad for the first time, not knowing who Christy was, and not over analyzing her face, I'd guess she was late 20's at most. Looking at Christy untouched, especially when she smiles, she looks late thirties. I would love to see an ad where she has her crow's feet; I think they actually maker…

"It's just a theeeeorrryyyyyy!" as they gently float away into space. Fare thee well gravity deniers!

I also want to add that my doctor recently moved so I was forced to find a new sleep specialist. Even though I have ten years worth of medical records including sleep studies, I was really nervous that I would have to work extra hard to prove to the new doctor that I actually need to be on medication and was not…

YES. I spent WEEKS going to appointments, forgetting to bring my evaluation! Eventually they made me fill the damn thing out in the office.

I was diagnosed with narcolepsy nearly nine years ago and currently take Adderall to get through the day. Without it I cannot work or drive because I cannot stay awake. Every time I read an article about Adderall abuse I think (a) Wow, it would be awesome if it actually resulted in me being a more productive person…

To everybody who legitimately needs Adderall for ADHD (or other related disorders): go get it. Use that medication like it was intended. What's coming next doesn't apply to you, y'all are cool.

I was diagnosed in grad school. (Women are WAY more likely to have inattentive-type ADD rather than hyperactive-type ADHD, so a lot of us learn to cover our symptoms through most/all of our education. Side note: when we talk about overdiagnosis of AD/HD and overprescription, we're talking almost exclusively about…

Yes exactly. Add into that what a pain in the ass it is to have to go to the doctors office every goddamn month to get a script to take to the pharmacy because it is too widely abused to be able to have refills or the doctor call it in.

All I can say, as someone with ADD and a Ritalin prescription, is that it feels like all you neurotypical people who take Adderall or Ritalin are talking about some other drug entirely. What is this magical pill you're taking that gives you laser-like focus, energy, and a recreational high? All my stuff does is give…

My favorite part of the "holidays" is being "that asshole" who makes a snarky facebook post about how there's no proof whatsoever that the birth of a baby who might become one Jesus of Nazareth happened on December 25th, and modern Christian traditions remain steeped in pre-Christian symbolism. I recognize the depth…

"When will the Pope stop his war on Christmas?"

Quote of the day!!

I just howled with laughter for a straight minute. And I'm a wife. +1

I'm sorry you had to go through that. That must have been hard, and you didn't need extra hoops to go through for an already sad time.

And gets to make out with young Harrison Ford.

id settle for 300 patrick dempseys on lawnmowers

If you're "planning to propose" and writing in the newspaper about doing it, have you not, in fact, already proposed? If the whole world, including your GF, knows you're planning on marrying her, you don't need to ask, right? She has already said Yes by making you the stupid sandwiches.

To be fair, I'd be ok with 300 John Cusacks with boom boxes overhead.

My proposal went like this:
