A nice, elderly preacher counseled me before my wedding (an elopement of course). He came in with wide eyes because my husband had told him about my parents. He said, “I heard your parents raised you on a Christian pot grow commune in the mountains. You should write a book. I would read it.”

Thank you, I didn’t think of Al-Anon. I’m going to our next local meeting. <3

If a child has impairments, and they are attributed to the chemical effects of mom’s drug use on the child’s brain, it is easy to…

I had a dentist named Omey. As in, “you now Omey $500"
