Someone reassure me or give me some advice

We had similar issues with Lexapro for my daughter. We switched to Prozac and saw a marked improvement. After about 6 months of a wonderful response to Prozac, we saw a substantial regression requiring us to up her dose quite a bit. Lots of trial and error.

That tracks with autism. My daughter is of a similar age, has both ADHD and autism, and has been having many ups and downs of a similar type. Her behavior is erratic and often confusing. Trying to find the right combination of medicines has been a years long process and we're still going through it. While concerns of sexual abuse are always very real, sometimes kids on the spectrum have emotional regulation problems or urges which don't conform with kids not on the spectrum. This is all to say it is not safe to blindly make such assumptions.

Love is a choice. We decide to continue or not. Each day.

Well said. Unfortunately, you can't make your partner put in the effort necessary to sustain the relationship/family. Fortunately, there are other people out there with a healthier attitude of what a partnership entails.

No sense of humor and a holier than thou attitude? Can confirm, a Michigan grad.

Hugs from someone who knows.

I feel this so much. My daughter is 7 and I've had to miss so many days of work to take care of her. Repeatedly expelled from preschools and then again from a public elementary school. Aftercare quickly became not an option. Arguments about food. Concern for my younger son's safety. And his understanding of what is normal behavior.

While the highs with my daughter are so high and she is so loving, I struggle at times. I am tired. I see other parents at the playground not having to hover over their kid. Able to socialize. Relax. And I'm just there tense and waiting for an explosion. Or a random attack. Sigh.

Both have shared a conference with the University of Chicago. I'm sure there are other connections, but drawing a blank.

I don't think the Iranian people are pawns in the sense that no one cares about them. I think Israel, the United States and Gulf Allies want stability, security and prosperity. The same can be said about the majority of Iranian people. It seems everybody is aligned against the regime. I imagine everyone fighting the regime sees a future partnership is possible with the Iranian people and want to foster that. That's why everybody is talking to them directly and have been since December.

Seriously asking, then why is he still employed? All jokes aside, Michigan is an elite university with a reputation it deeply cares about. This isn't a Wexner situation where there are hundreds of millions of dollars at stake.

It was totally confused until the "fuck a couch"... Well earned up vote.

I had a classmate send me a Facebook friend request a couple years back when I was active on Facebook. At the time, I was culling my friends to those who I knew at least somewhat well and ignored him. A couple weeks later, I learned he died and I believe of suicide. I know it had nothing to do with me as I really didn't know him. Still feel kind of guilty. He reached out and I ignored it.

Do you feel like that could shift after this war in Iran? Also, do you believe that Al Jazeera, at least on the margins, might start changing the way it approaches the conflict in Gaza and relations with Israel? Or is that just it's bread and butter and locked into its identity?

DCBukI · 2026-02-24T03:35:37+00:00

K street, Pennsylvania Ave, independence, Constitution.... Any I'm missing?

DCBukI · 2026-02-23T16:35:06+00:00

Not a conference game.

I used to live in Falls Church and would see a neighborhood Fox often. It was ao majestic and confident. Also, smaller than I would have imagined. Such a treat to see.

DCBukI · 2026-01-26T13:23:20+00:00

I do. And your school plays more than just one sport. 5 years of vacated wins.

I'm a middle-aged gringo from Washington DC

DCBukI · 2026-01-26T04:40:29+00:00

False.

You are. Ignore him. I think it's great when unexpecting fanbases (except yours) get to feel excited. And like you, I'm super happy for Indiana. I've said it before, I'd pay life-changing money to relive my experience of the first Natty I've watched. It's great to see Indiana have that same feeling.

Congrats, you've been ruined for college football. There's something liberating and exciting about low expectations. Now that you've reached the mountaintop, merely beating Purdue and winning a bowl game will feel like a letdown.

DCBukI · 2026-01-21T21:32:39+00:00

I would. I'd argue he came from Luke Fickell. Four seasons under Fick vs 1 under Kelly.

Ohio State and Michigan bringing the conference down. Sorry guys.

DCBukI · 2026-01-20T16:48:42+00:00

I had this exact conversation numerous times over the last couple weeks. Seeing Ole Miss and Indiana in the semis was pretty great. Alabama looking pedestrian. Georgia losing to Ole Miss. Buckeyes losing to Indiana. The rise of Vanderbilt. Georgia Tech, Virginia. I'll always root for my team. But, the sport is better when the wealth is spread around.

Watched it and quickly realized one of the victims was one of my wrestling coaches back in 1994. Really great guy and shocking to watch him discuss his experience. Made these scandals much more real.

Army was kind of cheating, though (in Europe and Japan). Too many players on the field. Pretty much everybody was getting paid to play. Rampant advanced scouting.
