The answer for 4 down is a word I've never heard before. Maybe it's... British? Australian? Idk. It's not used in the USA as far as I know.

It cost my boyfriend $652 for the diagnosis, not including medication. That's with health insurance in the USA. It's a lot of money, but at least it wasn't in the thousands.

Edit: I'm sorry everyone. I thought I was in the ADHD topic. Didn't mean to give out misinformation.

No, it's Supergirl's dog, who is cute, then possibly dying, so they are non-sexy awws (either adorable or sadness awws, depending).

I can't tell if this is supposed to be the pros or cons of being single. Maybe it's both, depending on the day, and your mood.

Then you actually get there, whatever "there" was for you, a job, a certain amount of money, a certain lifestyle

The problem for a lot of us, is that we'll never get there.

My boyfriend's only goal when he was young was to grow up and have a house and a family. He was never married, his daughter is dead, and he's never going to be able to afford a home without a lottery win.

So he's going through the motions, going to a job he hates just to afford rent, knowing he's never going to achieve the things he wanted most.

Aren't these called "Nutty Buddy"? Am I crazy? Or is this a different countries have different names for it thing?

House isn't autistic. He's brilliant, but in constant pain and taking it out on anyone and everyone around him.

You might have been doing something work-related on your phone. There's no plausible deniability of that if you're crocheting.

I have the same problem. I can't read a book or knit in the office, even if there's downtime. Because the higher-ups can't know there's downtime. It's our disgusting corporate culture that's stopping me.
