You know when I was in jail I was thinking a lot about what you just said Sherlock. Most of these people are not violent, they aren't really hurting anyone but themselves. In fact in the 1800's anyone could go to the pharmacy and buy laudanum over the counter and take as much of it as they wanted. It was a mixture of opium and morphine and codeine, very popular among women. In the 1890s, the Sears and Roebuck catalogue included an offer for a syringe and small amount of cocaine for $1.50.


Suddenly around 1914 all of these things became illegal but they didn't go away. It just created a black market run by criminals and filled the jails with people who had never broken any other laws. It also made the drugs more dangerous because the purity was unknown after companies like Bayer stopped making them.

And yeah I can ride a moped. Any vehicle under a certain horsepower that has a maximum speed less than 30 can be driven by people without a license. I don't have that much of a problem getting around actually. My son works for me and lives with me and I'm with him all day every day and he just drives me around. If I go someplace after work my wife always goes too, that hasn't changed and she never let me drive even before I lost my privileges. She doesn't drink and whenever we go out I do, so she has just always driven wherever we go.

It's like you said smiley, those motorized bicycles just look like a lot of fun! ha ha ha.. They have some electric ones too that are more reliable but slower and with less of a range. I already have a mountain bike I ride a lot to keep in shape but I can't go up hills at 20mph. One of these would be a whole lot nicer, and now I have a good excuse to buy one.

Riddle me this: How do you stop caring what others think of you?

I never had that problem. In fact I've always wondered how you start caring what others think about you. I'd probably be better in every way if I did give a crap about what my parents thought at the very least. Of course it's too late for that but yeah.

I guess there's a fine line between obsessing over other people's opinions and just not caring about how other people feel. And really I always blamed my 'don't give a f' attitude on living in my head too much. But I'm not really thinking about other people, I'm kind of off in this world of my own.

No the worst part is not being able to drive for a year... I'm thinking about getting one of those motorized bicycles. They go close to 30 mph and are pretty cheap, under $1,000 for a good one. Anybody know anything about them? lol https://saferwholesale.net/amy/gsi/80ccMotorize...

Do married people fall in love with another person easily?

Sure people can fall in love at any time. Of course if you are already married and especially if you have children you just walk away. I mean you made your choice is your life really going to be better shuffling your kids around and dealing with an ex and dividing up friends and property just so you can be with someone else? I mean aren't you going to meet another person that you fall in love with again after the second marriage?

Being married is not easy, there are going to be days when you wake up and hate everything about everybody. Then you see some stranger eyeing you and by golly why not give life a try with that person? A week later you realize you hate them more than you ever did the people you were with before.

I guess it's not that big of a deal if you don't have kids. If you do and you act on these feelings of love every time you are attracted to someone then you are just a selfish asshole. Your kids don't want two moms or dads or stepbrothers or sisters or whatever... hell that's half the problem with the world is that there are very few children being raised by their real mom and dad who inherently love them. I mean I would die for my children, most people would. Step kids, ehhhh maybe.

I just read a psychology report that said that girls are having their periods at a younger age because it is a defense mechanism their bodies have to get away from unsafe environments. Unsafe environments like no man in the house, or a man in the house that is not their father, things that are ingrained in our being. It effects us physically...

And it's the age old feelings vs facts syndrome and I think it manifests itself in government too. Liberals try to do what makes everyone feel good at any given time and conservatives do what they think will give them the best outcome in the long run. That's what I think.

So I went to jail this weekend for the first time, had to do 41 hours for my special crime and it was an eye opener. I swear there's more dope in jail than on the street. I was in a pod with 15 other guys and half of them were on heroin, or probably fentanyl. Half of what people think is another drug these days is fentanyl.

Anyway two people overdosed while I was there, one kept itching his face until it was all cut up and bleeding. The other guy fell flat out and was carried away in an ambulance after the other prisoners threw him in the shower to try to wake him up to no avail. So then at about midnight the guards came in an made us all go outside while they tore up the bunk beds and searched the place looking for dope. It was FREEZING... yeah it's against the law to leave your dog outside if it's below freezing around here but apparently you can leave inmates outside in short sleeve shirts for an hour or two no problem.

Of course they didn't find anything even though they strip searched us all before they let us back in the cell and piss tested half of them. Well, not me. I'm just an old man "weekender" virgin to the system so they kind of laughed and asked me how I was enjoying my stay while I was standing there shivering uncontrollably. Maybe they just didn't want to see me naked, that's happened a lot since I turned 50... Yeah fun times.

To be perfectly honest it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Everyone was respectful of me and there was cable TV and even the food was good. Somebody had snuck in some instant coffee too so I traded my breakfasts for coffee and made all kinds of friends. Giving away food is a great way to make friends in jail it turns out.

But yeah the next morning after the search and the freeze out it was business as usual. People were crawling under their covers and making loud snorting noises and then walking around like zombies, nodding out and falling asleep while standing up in mid-sentence. Made me wonder where these guys get all the money and where the dope comes from. Has to be the guards, doesn't it? But I'm the menace to society that needed to be locked up, right.

Anyway I went in Friday night and was out before noon on Sunday to watch football. I got a good dinner of chili and grilled cheese sandwiches and a show to boot... The funniest thing I heard was one of the inmates asking them why they were drug testing him. He laughed and said "what are you going to do, throw me in jail MFers"? At least he still had his sense of humor.

After nearly 20 years, 4 kids, and TONS of frustration on my part, my husband has said that we should divorce.

It sounds like we all need a vacation. Hang in there Pepper Jelly.

My wife has never worked or paid a bill in the 32 years we've been together, and money has never been a problem. In fact she goes on so many vacations my friends and her family tease her and say she is on "stay-cation". Hell half the time she goes with her family or friends and I stay home and work.
