You have more in common with people nearing 50 than you might want to believe. The main difference is that they’ve experienced things that you haven’t yet. But you will, sooner than you probably think.

One thing my dad always said about adulthood was “the days are long but the years are short.” And boy was he right. Now he’s an old man, I’m staring directly ahead at my 40’s, and the list of dead people I used to know continues to increase in number and velocity.

Sometimes it feels like I was 22 a few years ago but then I blinked and now I’m here.

Damn. I wish I could waste over a million dollars and have my employer see it as a good thing.

My great, great grandkids tax dollars destroying my great grandkids tax dollars.

An investigation into the claim - dubbed “Operation Bear Claw” - took a closer look at the video and found the “bear” was actually a person in a bear costume, the insurance department said. Investigators then took the video to biologists with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to also look at the video. The biologists said, “it was clearly a human in a bear suit.”

You do not want to be in a relationship where you have to hide things. Trust me. Take your meds. Your wife can get on board with it, or not. Her choice.

My wife was always fine with me taking meds but we had some fierce arguments about the fact that our oldest child also has ADHD. She just didn’t want to accept it for some reason. Right up until said child started expressing suicidal thoughts. At that point, all I could say was, “Look, we can either let her keep going down the same path I went down at that age or we can get her the help she needs.” Wife got on board pretty quickly after that.

I get not understanding what’s it like to have ADHD. That’s fair. But to basically trash a major part of your lived experience because they themselves haven’t lived takes some incredible arrogance.

Oh. A wise guy, eh?

Relax, guy!
