  • I’ve always advised that there are three reasons to join the military: you feel an actual calling to do so, you have a family and no other way to support them, or you don’t know what to do with yourself so you have Uncle Sam take care of you for four years so you can work it out. (I was option three: I ended up staying for eight.)

    I would also advise my kids or anyone else to only consider the Air Force, the Space Force (even though it’s still in beta) or the Coast Guard: while there are dangers with any branch, it seems that in-country if the bullets or IEDs don’t kill you quickly, exposure to burn pits and other toxins will kill you slowly.

    I take 10mgIR in the morning and 10mgIR in the afternoon. There is appetite suppression, but not bad. The strangest side effect is sleeping in on the weekends–before Adderall, I hadn’t been able to sleep past 7 for many years. Now, I can easily sleep until noon. There are much worse side effects, but it’s bit annoying to waste a good portion of my day off sleeping.

    Owning a pet responsibly is like owning a car: there is the expense of regular maintenance, and then every so often you have to drop a wad of money for a major repair.

    Don’t get me wrong, my animals are worth it, but I think some first-time pet owners don’t realize this.

    Seriously, I doubt any doctor would recommend a patient with depression to take a “medication holiday.”

    I appreciate that some doctors are concerned that a med will lose its effectiveness because of tolerance, but can happen with any medication. That’s also why there are multiple medications on the market.
