    I very much prefer the vinegar potato salad to the sweet mayo kind, really. Both have their places, though. Hot, summer day - spending the afternoon in the sun - better put a dish with lots of mayo on the table.

    It's remarkable how many petty people there are on this forum, and how long they hold onto stupid little things. Merely an observation. Please, continue everyone.

    Yeah. Mine is six in a month, and we're just getting started with the meds thing. And he just got sick and threw up first morning on Strattera. Sigh. This could be a battle to get adapted to this.

    French fries and mayo combined with kids. That's the main. Everything else is like, "yeah, I might have some of that. After the french fries."

    It was mostly the absolute inability to control himself. He'd be standing in line at school, and he wouldn't want to fool around with the hair of the girl in front of him, but his hands just ended up doing it. He'd get in trouble, he'd feel badly about himself, because he really didn't want to...

    Answer this hypothetical - yelling and potty training

    Well, with my youngest, he was ready to be potty trained, he just wouldn't do it. It got to a ridiculous point, where he was just shitting himself because he was lazy. After one such event, he got a stern (and loud, I'm pretty sure I yelled) talking to, and a small spank. Just a little one...

    We're changing medication for our 5 year old for his ADHD. We're moving to Strattera. It's a non-stimulant, and is supposed to work 24 hours. What he's on now is working - his impulse control is vastly improved during school hours, and he is doing much better. He's learning more, and he's so...

    It's my goal to make your life misery, my friend. Yup. A high-edged sheet pan is what you need. It bakes nice and evenly, even in my crap oven. Incidentally, I learned this weekend that cookie sheets with a high edge are called jelly roll pans. No idea how I missed that.

    There can be no play in a toilet. It has to not move whatsoever. Every toilet that has play will eventually leak.
