I especially love the assumption that all only children were spoiled and had all these material things and were the center of their parents’ universe. Some of us are only children because our parents had a kid while they were on the fence, and decided to keep us but that parenting wasn’t their shtick. Always feeling…

I think it depends where you are. In Spain and the Balkans getting pain meds is easy, especially if you’re obviously a tourist and not getting 300 oxycontins.

They’d rather be safe than sorry, or they just have looser laws in some areas of the world. Finland’s pharmacy system is a little wacky but they make sure you get what you need, although I got more injuries than illnesses over there. Thanks, snow and ice.

My doc always sent me off from my pre-travel exam with a ten day cycle of Cipro just in case, and I pack hundreds of azo tablets that come in that plastic wrap type packaging. It’s like if I bring those things, I won’t get a UTI, and at least with the azo if someone else does get one, I have enough to share.

It takes 3 days for chemical addiction to start setting in and for your tolerance to start going up, so you did take post-op pills. That’s actually better, even if you just take ibuprofen, because it reduces inflammation that can cause further damage. I’m not saying drain your pill bottle for any procedure, but it’s…

Because they wanted to buy it from you.

Those people would start popping capsules with heroin if they get cut off from vicodin or loretabs, though. That’s the problem. My PCOS has gotten so bad that a family member gives me a few loretabs when my period strikes, but I also can’t really get out of bed the first day so these aren’t run-of-the-mill cramps.…

Most of the time from a legal prescription to manage the pain of an injury or surgery. Addiction just happens physically after about three days, whether they seek out illicit drugs after their prescription is gone is the difference between a true addict and someone who happened to get temporarily addicted to necessary…

Maybe if doctors stopped refusing pain meds to people, leading them to buy heroin off the street, we wouldn’t be seeing these numbers.

Yeah, but now people are trying to convert us or tell us that we’re wrong for not being ready for Hillary, so fun! It’s like the concept that we’ve already made up our minds and are just discussing why is incomprehensible.

I think the kind of parents who enforce that hard and fast also tend to lead by example, and aren’t constantly on their phones or tablets. One of my friends’ stepsons just got an iTouch that connects to the wi-fi and he’s on it all the time, she wants to take it away but fails to see that she and his father are screen…

One of my friends uses her day off to take these grueling-seeming day trips with her kids, I don’t see how she or her guy have the energy after working all week. He works more in the summer too, they’re both miserable right now with both kids at home. I used to think parents who dreaded summer break so much were…

I taught summer terms overseas for junior high and high school aged students, and the meltdowns that occurred over cell phones were initially terrifying then comical. When a 16 year old boy starts rocking in his chair looking like he’s going to knock the thing over and is having some kind of mental break it’s scary,…

I know a few women like this and the following are my guesses:

To be fair, it hasn’t affected my opinion that much and certainly doesn’t affect who I’m voting for, it’s just information. But yeah, unpaid interns are the lifeblood of any campaign’s blood, they’re trying to make an example of her since the info on her funding has been put out there.

The things fast food joints hawk in Asia sometimes terrify me. I once saw an ad for something that was just a...ball of chicken, fried. on a stick. Kenny Rogers Roasters is also now only in Asia, go to their malaysian site if you want a chuckle or a hork.

They’re.....useful in certain situations. But legit, no, just a way to add a piece to the puzzle when you’re running out of options. I know someone who falsely passed an FBI lie detector interrogation by taking tranquilizers beforehand and already being on the sociopath side.

Dude, Kendra fucked the cadaver known as Hef on television for several seasons. Broseph needs to chill, I really don’t think she cares that much.

I just couldn’t take him seriously after his “get off my lawn, ye hoodlums” grandpa rants and his self-assured image as what a black man should be. It always came off as racist in the sense of him not understanding the “why” of his own community.

What I got from it is that he lied about what they were to at least some of the women. I think SA is the only place you can get ludes since the 80’s, where the fuck is Bill Cosby getting ahold of drugs like that is another big question in my mind. Maybe he went with something obscure and hard to come by on purpose so…
