We think she may be using Meth, but she isnt exibiting any of the signs. We did how ever find some little baggys that we think may be Meth. She isnt the type of person you would think would do this kinda thing, and she isnt exibiting any of the signs. We are thinking that maybe someone she knows tried to get her to try it and she just never did .She did have a brother that died from meth use, and we can not see her doing something like this. What do you all think we should do?
My wife and I are arguing about whether or not insurance companies will refuse to cover drugs administered in a doctor’s office if you do not have prescription coverage. She says that prescriptions and drugs given by a doctor (e.g. anesthetics, steroids, etc.) are two separate things and insurance companies could not refuse to cover the latter based on lack of coverage for the former. I say that insurance companies will do anything to make a buck even if it defies rational explanation. Does anyone know which of us is correct?

Joe’s wife is a cancer patient and has a great deal of pain. Joe was driving home from the pharmacy with oxycontin and percocet the other day and he wondered what would happen if he ever got stopped by the cops. Joe has long hair and an unconventional look and has a different last name than his wife. Joe knows that the penalties for illegal possession of this stuff are severe. Is it legal for Joe to do this?
and had several partners. since then, i have changed my ways and settled down. i think my old ways may have created a sex addiction however. i feel uneasy when I am around pretty girls and I feel like i am constantly craving sex with women. i feel like i am a crack addict. i am scared i am going to do something to destroy my marriage. is there any other way to fix this problem other than professional help? im not sure how my wife would react if i told her this.
She has trouble walking up stairs, getting up from a chair, and getting started walking after standing up.
I first noticed her problem 2.5 yrs. ago. She practically had to crawl upstairs. The 18 mos. ago she broke her rt. shoulder requiring metal socket replacement operation. Her strength and balance got worse. She stopped phy. therapy because it hurt. The she was diagnosed with diabetes 2. All of this has piled on 12 prescription pills known by our family doctor. Can a WebMD medical specialist help us, please?
Here’s the drugs she’s taking: Lotrel, Toprol, Farosemide, Aromasin, Starlix, Temazepan, Lexapro, Fosamax, Allopurinol, Levothyroxine, Baby Asprin, Neurotin

I was able to lie my way out of house hours later and called police now hes in jail and may be (stong chance)going to prison on 3 felony charges and is begging me to drop felony charges other people who know and Love him tell me to let it happen and I just dont Know what is best way
jail? prison? just rehab? or all?
The thought of an already abused and abandand from childhood weak drug addicted man in prison is an awful sight in my minds eye ,this is awful
I have been very thankful that people on yahoo answers have been there as I have let my self be taken away by this man from my work that I liked and interaction with other people ,so I could be with him every moment.I thought this was true love because last hubby was never home and dident care at all where i was or what i was doing .How does that saying go ? o ya out of the frying pan right into the fire.

Dear dad,
I know that the last few years have been really rocky. Im only 14 and I have my entire life in front of me. I sure don’t feel 14, in my opinion… I have been put through way more than an average teenager. I may be young, but im not oblivious. At 12 years old I found another side to my perfect dad that I had looked up to for so, so long. From day one you were someone I wanted to be like someday. You could put a smile on my face, make me laugh, you were an all around perfect dad. Now im not saying we we’re perfect, because we weren’t. But that day, two years ago… made a huge impact in our relationship. I think you and I both felt our world shift, or at least I did. The day I found the pot in your car, I changed. You might not have been able to tell, but I could and many people around me could. I was depressed, and had absolutely no one to turn to. When I was dropped off at school at 7am, I would walk over to the church and pray until 7:40. I would pray that somehow you would see through the addiction. I was so depressed, I considered suicide. I would lay in bed, for god knows how long thinking how much easier life would be with out me. I wrote goodbye letters and I would tell myself to wait another day, that maybe JUST MAYBE you would change.
“It’s not affecting anyone but me”, is what you told me when I found your pot. But it does affect everyone around you. It effects me, Blake and Luke, mom, your parents, everyone around all of us. And more importantly it MAJORLY affects you. Marijuana is really, really dangerous and ISNT okay, for anyone. I would NEVER, EVER try drugs because I have seen the horrible side effects daily. Maybe at first… it was your escape, your way to forget everything that is happening and let go. Well this ‘escape’ has turned into a habit. I had constantly argued to you about how you don’t care about me, I still have doubts. I wish that I could change you, but a person can only change if THEY want to. As hard as EVERYONE tried to get you to open your eyes and REALLY SEE what you had. An amazing wife, three children, you had EVERYTHING in the palm of your hands. I thought that if you loved me enough, one day you would stop. Stop, and never go back to the habit. Obviously it wouldn’t be easy. That’s for sure, but maybe just maybe if you could take the struggle and turn into a goal I could have my dad back. I miss my dad. I really, really miss him. I wish you missed me enough to stop smoking, to stop drinking, to be a responsible parent, and to stop sleeping every second you have downtime. Love is stronger than any addiction. You’ve already lost mom because of this, do you really want to loose me? I don’t want to be 15…16…17…30 and wonder what life could’ve been like. What ifs; are not a choice anymore.
•What if my dad had never starting smoking? We can’t rewind time.
•What if my dad had broke through this addiction because he didn’t want the family to crack? Too late.
•What if my dad really, really made a strong effort to put his kids, his family ahead of his addiction? There is still time. But im not going to wait around for 20 years like mom did. If I don’t mean enough to you NOW for you to change, why wait to see in 20 years if I mean enough?
I love you, and I want you to know that. Our relationship is crumbling. And if you AND I don’t work at it, there’s not going to be anything left. i want my dad to be there when I get married, I want him to walk me down the aisle and give me away. I WANT to mean more to you then marijuana does. I really, really want to because I hate seeing you depressed, and not yourself. Honestly, I don’t know what marijuana does to people physically. But I’ve seen what it does emotionally. I’ve seen our family crash and burn. I’ve heard you and mom screaming. This ISNT ONLY AFFECTING YOU! I want my dad back. When I say “him” or “my dad” I mean, the person that doesn’t have a drug addiction. I mean the parent that I used to know, the one that my mom married thinking you’d be together until death. I haven’t seen him, if I have… I don’t remember. Maybe, I was too young… Im not saying that I want you to be perfect, NO ONE is perfect. But this, the life I once LOVED has turned into turmoil. I really want us to be close like we once had. Im tired of feeling like I have to hide my feelings and bottle them up and be in denial. I know the problem here, and I want you to make a change. Make a change for YOURSELF. You’re stronger than ANY addiction and God will help you through any obstacle you hit. I know that you want to be closer with me. So Dad, here I am completely open to starting over. Can you stop and HONESTLY stop using pot, NO sneaking around, not sleeping during your free time? Because Dad, that’s ALL I need, Im ready to make a change because I want my dad. If you want this relationship to work, you have to put 150+% into it this time. Do it for all those who didn’t think they could pass up an addiction. And… do it for me
And… do it for me, because I love you and I want to be proud of you, and look up to you like I once did.
•And remember….

Dear YA! What do you think about my letter? Is it worth trying? Would YOU change?
how dare any of you who have answered saying that its ‘not that bad’. my dad ISNT THE SAME PERSON HE WAS, HE WAS RECONIZED IN OUR LOCAL MALLS PARKING LOT HIGH AND DRUNK. HE DIDNT REMEMBER A THING. HOW DARE YOU.
Just before i say anything, this is for my wife who is ill and has a license for it. She loves chocolate, and I wanted to make some chocolate for her. Is there anyway that I can do so. I have a sandwich grill, I was thinking of grinding half a gram up and put it in between 2 pieces of chocolate where the buns go. Im not really familiar with cooking, but I would like to know if it will activate the good chemicals with the grill?
If you guys have any recipes im open for suggestions.
My husband has 2 children from his previous marriage. He and his ex have been divorced for 7 years and they each have always claimed 1 child on their taxes. My husband claims the older child and she claims the younger. For the past year or so the ex-wife has become more and more consumed by her crack addiction. We now have full custody but didn’t for 2006 even though the kids were primarily with us. We have always paid for all their clothes, school supplies, etc b/c she is frequently jobless. It doesn’t appear she filed taxes for 2006, so can we file an addendum to our taxes adding the younger child? Thanks for any assistance.
