If your kid had an injury you’d give him pain meds, if he had an infection you’d give him antibiotics, right? There’s no shame in trying the meds to see if they help. If they do, then there’s nothing that says he has to stay on them forever. Maybe they’ll help get him over this hump at school, let his brain sort itself out as he learns, and he can wean back down off of them later when he’s ready to learn other ways of coping.
I have an abscessed tooth. If you’ve ever had one, you know why I’m grumpy. If you haven’t had one, words cannot describe the joy that such a tooth brings into your life.
Most states don’t really put enough funding in Sex Ed, it’s up to us, the taxpayers, to make up the difference whenever and wherever we can. So woman up already.
If your kid is one of kids who legitimately needs meds, then you are being a good parent and doing the right thing. Take a deep breath and know that if it’s his brain chemestry that needs a little adjustment then it is a problem that has nothing to do with your parenting.
You’ve consulted professionals and, after thinking about it, are following their advice. Would you feel this bad/guilty if your spouse was the one who needed meds?
Fuck off North Carolina Repubs. I am so fucking sick of this shit. I do not give a fuck about your religion or anyone else’s religion for that matter including my own right now. Your religion is just a belief system and not one thing more. You do not get to turn non-Christians into second class citizens in our damned fucking country.
Geez I am just so fucking sick of Christian privilege in this country. I don’t give a fuck you believe some Jew died on a cross in Roman times and all who think the guy was the son of god will have a nice happy afterlife. My own Jewish background argues against eating cheeseburgers and having physical contact with your own husband half the month which is just as fucking stupid.
Why can’t we all just agree that we shouldn’t mug, murder, rape or steal, call the rest cultural and leave it alone?
Goddammit, I am this close to renouncing this state. When they’re not trying to steal my city’s water system, they’re forcing their religious bullshit down my throat. I didn’t vote for any of those motherfuckers, yet thanks to their gerrymandering my vote didn’t count.
And just for the record I have met our current governor and he’s an idiot who doesn’t know how to work a showerhead.
Bill says that he doesn’t think that Spike was scared. He thinks Spike was sniffing at the strange thing in the living room, then saw greeblies and ran after them.
(Greeblies are those invisible things that all attentive cats protect their humans from. This usually happens at 3 in the morning, but Spike is lucky to know if its day or night.)
Wistfully, she was a very nice dog. But, she’s in a no kill rescue and will probably get snatched up very shortly.
At least your bad tooth didn’t hurt your snarky sense of humor. I’d tell you that I :D’d at your post but I don’t want to get hurt.
I hope the meds kick the infection down fast. That’s like the very worse sort of pain ever.
Not to distract from the nocturnal cat adventures, but the normal quick jump-on-jump-off the bed, it’s morning, get up! from my dog was at 4:45 this morning. Usually it’s six, and it’s time to get up anyway, but this morning not so much. I hope this isn’t the beginning of a trend, or a punishment for my husband being gone, because he won’t be back for a few days. At least it seems like it will be warmer for tomorrow’s 6:30 dog walk than today (15F).
Mini self-pitting for not eating well while he’s gone, and spending too much time surfing the Dope. Granted, I had salad the first three nights, but only because I was too lazy to make anything else.
Abscessed teeth are hellish dangerous, besides being pass me the entire bottle of percocet painful. Get thee to the dentist, and demand antibiotics before he does anything!!!
Ewwwwwwww. What’s worse than finding a mouse in the house? Finding half a mouse. Watched over by one incredibly satisfied cat. I feel almost physically ill now.
I understand. Well, I don’t understand because I’ve never been there, but I am smart enough to give you chocolate before offering to tie your shoes for you.
Are you me? With dogs instead of cats? I always eat the fridge stuff first, then start eating junk food.
Is your dog a little one? With those annoying bed bumps? Or a big one who lands with all 4 feet all at once?
I used to have a St. Bernard who was very good about not being on the furniture when the people were around, but would sneak onto my bed in the middle of the night. She was so stealthy that I never noticed until I was smothering in fur and couldn’t move because I had a dog on my chest and cats laying next to me, helping Dindin hold me down.
We have laminate flooring all over the entire main floor of our house, and a handful of scatter rugs - guess where the cats ALWAYS barfed. It’s like they have maximum damage radar for barfing.
Oh, I went to the dentist on Tuesday. That’s how I know it’s an abscess, instead of just a toothache. As soon as I get the abscess calmed down, he’s gonna give me (yet another) root canal.
Hey you fucks! If I order something on March 28th, counting “time from order” since April 2nd is cheating. Then again, so is the way in which you give prices: “19.90€ all included” but then when you order it turns out that you have very strange definitions of “all” :mad:
Thanks guys, I’ll give those a look. But I still rather prefer the convenience of trying it on in the store, knowing it fits before I plunk down money for it, and walking out with it the same day, you know?
Maybe they have the same definition as my dental insurance - 100% coverage for a checkup, yet I still paid $11 for a $200 checkup. If my math is right, that isn’t 100% covered.
