No not the hospital. The hospital has it's own lab work company. And yes still a leak.

Pay under invoice

Don't tell them what you want your payments to be

Research rebates such as lease in household, recent grad, current student

If you're financing they will try to add points to your rate don't let them. If you have a credit Union get a quote from them and the dealer will probably beat it

There is a class of people who believe that the lunix is the solution to all the world's ills, this tends to be precocious 14 year olds who are socially awkward and really pitiable and have mastered the intricacies of the lunix console despite having no valid reason to do so.

I used to be conflicted as to how to approach these idiots, after all they're only 14 and we should cut them some slack right?

Then I reflected on how being berated on the Internet for my lolAspie* posts helped to shape me into the man I am today, and decided to cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war.

*Fairly sure any shrink would have had a field day with me before age 12 or so. I was a psychotic kid. No joke. Definitely matched all of the symptoms of Asperger's, and probably would have been placed into a higher category of autism since I also was aggressive and resistant to authority. I was a seriously ****ed up kid. But you know what? My parents soldiered on - my mom was fine with allowing me to do whatever, my stepdad was raised in a strict household and took personal offense when I didn't jump when he said "frog" and that caused some tension - but by the time I was 14 we were OK.

Impassioned plea to the parents of POG: don't ****ing medicate your kids, for the love of god. They are children. They will act in unpredictable and sometimes self-destructive ways. You can't judge them, because you are not a kid. I certainly could not relate to or even handle me at 11 or younger; if I were babysitting me, I would have called my parents in the middle of their date and told them that the deal was off.

But you know what? I hit puberty, the chemicals did their thing, I chilled out. I may be the only child on earth whose parents said "thank god he's been so much better since he hit puberty". I had the typical teen conflicts with my parents and neither of them had any freaking clue how to deal with it because it was just me being normal. I grew up to be a pretty typical person. No, I'd say I'm even more socially aware than normal people - and I can pretty confidently say I only developed into that in my late teens and early twenties! I think I finally reached "this is me, this is who I am, only minor adjustments will be made" sometime after I was 21.

Parents of POG, please just let your kids be kids. This is not to say you categorically shouldn't seek help. My second oldest little brother had speech problems, and his regular sessions with a child speech-language pathologist really helped (it would help even more if my folks would recognize that he still doesn't speak right; I think they confused "improvement" with "success"). If your kid is actually ******ed in the colloquial sense, seek help. If your kid has suicidal tendencies before age 12, seek help. (After age 12 you can seek help in the form of a counselor or psychologist, not in the "omg diagnose my kid's disease and dispense pills" sense.) If your kid can't enunciate his basic sounds after age 6-7 seek help. But for the love of deity, if your kid is "disruptive in the classroom" and "does not make friends on the tightly-regulated playground" and "displays unacceptable behavior" and whatnot, take solace: your kid is a kid; you did not, in fact, give birth to a desert tortoise that will calmly carry on through thick and thin after its hatching.

I used to agree with you

I'm very mixed now

I think autism is over diagnosed .. But it is real.

When I was a kid they called kids hyperactive and put them on some kind of meds. I used to think it was silly

when I was a kid if you were hyperactive they put the parents on meds

10mg diazepam every 4 hours helps put things in perspective.

It's probably not good for the kid but F it. It is way better for the class overall. One disruptive kid can ruin a whole classroom.

continuing the nostalgic when I was a kid amp magical memory tour, they used to hit us with a big goddamn stick if we got out of line which seemed to work ok
