The Maddening of America

Can I have some purple ones?

IMHO, I think the world is in a state of denial and subsequent progressive feelings of hopelessness and diminishing sense of self worth. I don't believe that this is restricted to "Americans". We are probably more medicated than the rest of the world, but that's only treating the symptoms.

It's amazing that people have no coping skills. The scary thing is so many young people are on these pills.

A few years ago, I overheard The Frau's daughter bragging about how many meds she was on to her friends. They were comparing med lists and there was some sort of prestige in her peer group to be taking meds that no one else is doing.

Wow.

That is both amazing and disturbing at the same time. Especially if these kids are sharing their meds with each other.

10,000 times worse than sharing a little cannabis.

Pardon me for being Captain obvious but, I would hope that you can recognize that sort of behavior early and do what is necessary to curtail it. Not "try not to think about it".
Milady and I went through that kind of thing with her bi-polar son for a very abbreviated period before I had enough solid evidence to nip it in the bud. It does require close clandestine monitoring. Pain in the buttinski really. But far better than the consequences.

Yes it is If you ever have severe constipation, I have a recipe for a tabasco sauce enema that may interest you.

Afraid so, once I stick the bottle in, you'll need me to hold you down why you get use to the initial burn. Once it has effect, you're on your own.

Works great, just ask Wolferz..

Let us spray.....

Iced ol' Armistead like a cake.

That'll learn ya dern ya.

The spitting and sputtering was the best part. Wish I'd had a camera.

PS: I really wish you'd learn not to substitute the word "why" for the word "while". They are two very different words with very different meanings. Just ask Steve. He's over in the corner suffering from poor grammar exasperation. Maybe you could mix up another batch of that colon blow for him. Looks like he could really use it right now to get him out of that fetal position and back on his feet... running!
