A friend keeps overdozing on meds

When you say overdosing do you mean they stop breathing and are rushed to the hospital, or that they take a few more pills than they are supposed to and act a little weird? If the doctor doesn't have a problem with it I'm not sure why you do.

It sounds like you have a plan to completely ruin her life. Bringing social services or the cops into her world is not going to help her at all. I have never met anyone who had their children taken away and it was a good thing for the children. Most of the time it is a horribly traumatic experience for everyone involved except the social workers who seem to enjoy tearing families apart. Must be some kind of power trip.

As far as the cops go unless you just absolutely hate this person don't get them involved in her life. Just recently in Nashville where I live a mother was worried about her son because he was depressed and had some anti-depressants and he sounded drunk when she talked to him. So she called the cops and asked them to look in on him and make sure he was fine. They kicked his door down, shot him and killed him. One of their body cams was "inoperable" and the other was charging in the car... right. The cops got a nice paid vacation out of it and said something about him grabbing a knife when they kicked the door in and rushed into his apartment. I guess so, if I heard someone kicking my door in I'd be holding more than a knife.

I don't believe in flashbacks either, and I would know trust me. I think you're sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. If you're really worried about her ask her partner if they have noticed her having problems. If the person she lives with and her doctor both think she's fine she more than likely is.

Nasty grandmother.

I had a nasty grandmother too. I wonder if there's one in every family?

I guess I'm going to let it go...

Why do you still see an ex so much? You need to just stay away, it's like forbidden fruit that looks a lot better than it really is.

so ..

I talk to my dogs about as much as I talk to anyone these days. They never talk back but that's not a problem. Yeah this dog is playing you, pooping on you and tearing your stuff up. I guess we figured out who the alpha male really is in the house.

i know its kinda ironic..

I don't know why but for some reason I always think of you as Natcho man, like the nacho cheese not NaCtHo. I thought maybe NaCtHo was a chemical compound like sodium something molybdenum but I don't guess so. If you google it, it just comes up with some Narcotics Anonymous groups in Connecticut or some guy in a dress up like Star Wars gang... not that this has anything to do with your post but hey it's late and I can't sleep.

Are people inherently good or evil?

I raised 5 kids and 4 of them were inherently good but one was just always bad. When he was 3 years old he got kicked out of Sunday School because he kept stealing things and attacking the other children. They said not to bring him back, to SUNDAY SCHOOL at our church...

Nothing we could do changed him. Put him on ritalin for a while and he was still crazy. Moved him in with grandma and grandpa because they said we didn't know how to handle him and he was back in 6 months, they said he was impossible. He's 33 and on probation in 2 counties and will never change, I am convinced of it. The other 4 are perfect angels.


I think people are born who they are and some are good and some are bad. Sure you can mess a person up and make them terrible and bad and evil but I have not seen many who were terrible and became good. I have this really strong conscience and if I try to lie I turn red and look at the ground, I can't steal, I've never been in a fight in my life... I'm just no good at being bad. Some people are.

None of my family are drinking at Christmas.

None of my family are drinking at Christmas, except me. I bought all the presents, I can damn sure drink even if I have to drink alone. You know if you had given me more of a heads up I would have sent you some of that sippin' whiskey they make 88 miles from here. I think it's called Jack Daniels. Can't you buy your own?
