I am usually asleep within 10-15 minutes.

The world is full of idiots. I think we found their leader. As the article indicates, a broken hymen would prove nothing. It could be broken many ways that do not require a male to even be in the room. It sounds to me like a great way to do irreparable harm to the father/daughter relationship.

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 16, but my symptoms began when I was about 10. I may have been the only child in school history to be moved around the class room for not talking enough. Unfortunately there was limited awareness of the disorder in the early 1990s and before. I know this is anecdotal evidence and every child is different, but going on Ritalin (and now Concerta) changed my life for the better virtually overnight. One characteristic of ADHD is low levels of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine affects impulse control, concentration and motivation, along with regulating the brain's reward system. Dopamine levels increase when we do something pleasurable, like eating our favorite foods. Medications such as Concerta, Vyvanse and Adderall act to regulate dopamine levels in the brain. Medication alone is not the best solution, imho. Behavior modification, including developing daily routines, is vital for the best possible outcome, but please do not dismiss medication without considering their benefits as much as their risks.

One is wearing a Yankees hat. That automatically makes him enemy #1.

I think 10 is too young. I can't imagine one really being needed before 12-13 at least.

I like some vegetables, but some I just can't make myself eat. Asparagus, for example, smells so bad that I don't want to know how it tastes. I think liking broccoli should give me a free pass to avoid the veggies I don't like or want to try.

Snakes top my list of phobias. I also fear heights, except while flying, insects, needles and most vegetables, except broccoli cauliflower and carrots.

I say guys for males and girls or ladies for females, whether it's a mixed group or not.

ROR is legal here in Georgia. I didn't realize it was illegal anywhere in the U.S

There should be a way to disable right clicking, so photos cannot be saved. I don't think that alone would prevent screencaps, though.

I never realized it while watching the movie when I was a teenager, but Willy Wonka really was bonkers. That movie sounds like a horror film now.

You're all in my prayers. I hope Andrea can get the help she needs soon. I do not think this is a behavioral problem correctable with spanking. She needs professional help but, more than that, she also needs all the love, patience and understanding you can give her. Please keep us update on how she is doing.

Have a safe trip, Cordy. Please stop by when you can. We'll leave the light on for you.

You're right, Emily. I'll argue, um, I mean debate with anyone.
