Anybody that says “sports players should just shut up and play”.... well are you gonna say that “teachers need to just shut up and teach”? This brave citizen has made an enormous impact on SO MANY LIVES, and how can anyone dismiss that voice?? But really, how can anyone dismiss any of these voices that are bold,…

So much this. I admit that I watched the forgiveness speech last night and was moved. My kids watched it as well, and I said “His brother is a better person than I am.” And then we went to bed.

i’ve always been a fan of Tiger. I also always been a fan of what Elin could do to Tiger with a golf club.

Tesla Model S owner here, Metro Detroit. There are more than 3 in the area, but not many. Since Tesla dealerships are illegal in Michigan, you have to jump through sone serious hoops if you want to own a Tesla in Michigan. Ours had to be acquired in Chicago.

My husband buys every Breville appliance, and when he said we “had” to get the Breville Tea Maker, I said HELL NO. I drink gallons of tea on a weekly basis but I couldn’t justify the cost. He doesn’t drink tea. But he liked the tea maker.

Yep, this. My husband and I fight over this one. He swore he would never be addicted to anything with "Mojito" in the name. He lied. It is amazing. M+G is not sticky or tacky, and it leaves your lips feeling perfectly moisturized for a long time. Love.

Yes to this. Yes yes yes. There are so many comorbids that go with ADHD. If you have some comorbidities along with ADHD, you definitely should try to have a psychiatrist do the med evaluation and fine-tuning. Family doctors are great for simple cases, but mixing psychotropic meds really warrants a professional.

Oh, another thing: my daughters are BOTH ADHD. We did all kinds of therapy and dragged our feet on meds. EVEN THOUGH WE SAW THE RESULTS WITH ME. Parents never just go into a doctor and say "give me a pill for my kid." We want to do everything else, everything natural, holistic, psychotherapeutic before we start having…

Go get the book "So I'm not lazy, stupid or Crazy?". It will help you so much. I read the book and instantly saw myself in there. I would read excerpts to my husband and be like "That's totally me!" And he didn't want to admit it, but it was true.
I look back at my childhood and see the missed opportunities. I was the…

Yes, this. This is my life. I was not diagnosed until my mid-20's, after I had my first child. My house was a wreck, my marriage was a wreck, my mothering was non-existent. My complete lack of executive function was eroding every single facet of my life. I'd been diagnosed with depression multiple times, put on every…

Do we really need another story about a white dude trying to save an urban city? Dan Gilbert isn't in this for the charity, he's in it for the money. And he's hardly a guy that's camera-shy. If there's an opportunity for publicity, he's right there, front and center. Anybody remember the whole LeBron James/Cleveland…

You win for speaking the truth. I'm all about chocolate. Chocolate is medicinal. And chai is my favorite beverage of all, ever. But you put those two together, and you've created a monstrosity that should be banished from the earth. Whoever the genius at Starbucks was that came up with that concoction should be fired…

Albert,
I was at Target last week and found a steal on Parmesan so I had a LOT that I needed to figure out a use for. And my husband is type-1 diabetic and so we are always finding side dishes for dinner that don't include noodles or rice. I saw this article and knew I had to make it.
I followed your directions to a…

I'm a white girl married to a black guy (we just celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary), with two biracial kids (we use the term "multiracial" because it seems more all-encompassing). And we have a multi-breed dog, a maltipoo. :)

Weatherbug is much better at giving accurate forecasts. And for minimalists, Swackett is my fave.

Because you know, Chuck E. Cheese is a classy joint. You would never expect this to happen.

Ok. But the craziest takeaway I have from all of this is:

My husband says he's going to vote Romney because he thinks Romney will bring back plural marriage. I said I'm only down with plural marriage if I can bring Cory Booker into the fold.

+1. Brilliant
