Who among us would forego a pension if we only had to work for 2 more months? If we truly want to see a less toxic political environment, we need to accept our friends and others who have been deceived by Trump and MAGA.

I have seen some angry posts directed at MTG accusing her of being cynical from example Gavin Newsom and AOC. I think this is counter productive. One example of her cynicism is delaying her retirement until after she qualifies for congressional pension.

This is a good thing. I'm all for it.

I wonder what Claude thinks, since he/she/it is also a cat?

I was aware of side effects of appetite loss and insomnia associated with use of stimulants but I was not aware of research that demonstrated stunting of growth. Wish I knew that when I was prescribing.

I thought this was an interesting article. It reflects the sense that I had of the benefits and consequences of treating ADHD during my career in medicine.

I'm retired and old. What can we do to stop this? It's like a fever or a disease.

The questions are not simply memory issues. One might expect one's answers to be different because of maturity. And changes in beliefs over time.

You did the right thing.

Since then, I saw an opossum outside my widow who was wandering back and forth in the leaves under the maple tree. It had its tail curved back and was clearly gathering maple leaves for its den.

At the least I think there should be a regulatory process prior to approval for OTC. If you really want to do it yourself, you can buy used or from China.
