TY. Alright. Stopped taking any pills Friday. My goodies are getting it done. Hope to finish samples and cake to un-awake. Sleep is my issue now. LOL.

I'd give you a handful of xanax to get you over the hump if I could!! If you can get a few, and you don't have a problem with them, they, or Valium, will help immensely. Just don't get hooked on benzos because that's even worse than opiods!!

Be strong and hang in there!! Sleep will come and it will be great!

They don't make car batteries like they used to. In the olden days those AC-Delco's were always good for 8+ years. Battery in my (new) Nissan crapped out after 3 years, the replacement lasted 4. I had faith in Interstate but the last 2 I bought weren't that good. Surprisingly, I've had good luck with the Everstart Maxx line from WalMart. Hard to understand considering there are only a few battery manufacturers in the US that produce them and tag with the seller's names.

That's what's powering my Accord for the last 5 years. The first one I got only lasted a few months because I left an accessory light on over night and fried it. But they gave me a new one for free and it's been damn near 5 years.

And I just know I am jinxing myself, lol...Watch, the bi*** won't start today!!!

I'll wish you "Good Luck", (that doubles the jinx effect ;) )

No kidding. I listen to a talk radio program, Rover's Morning Glory, every morning. They had a smart, talented, funny young guy on the program who everyone watched and lamented his benzo addiction. That coupled with his opiod use ended tragically, once when he threw himself off a 3 story building (survived!) and just a month ago when he fatally OD'd. :(

Snowing like crazy here right now and supposed to let up about 3 pm. Probably just 3-5 inches they say.

BUT we have a bunch of nice days coming...above 40F nice, lol. I'm hoping I can get my garage door installed (by pro's, not me) and take my e-bike for a couple mile test run either the end of this week or beginning of next.

More house cleaning today...already did the main bathroom!

I've heard that show.

I've got an old friend who is addicted to heroin. He still works full time, but he's about at rock bottom. He's been an addict for about 20 years and is about 50, and works as a roofer in the summer and a painter in the winter. He use to get methadone on the street to try and maintain but his connection dried up a year ago so it's been full time H....an expensive habit, in this town it's $200 a gram, and he does a gram a day. Plus he's an alcoholic and can chug vodka like water...It's f***ing sad!!

He recently added methamphetamine to the mix. His bro, also a friend, is trying to get him into a methadone program before he dies...Amazing he hasn't. His girls ready to leave, and she has MS and is on opiods and benzos. He hasn't had a car in 3-4 years. Only reason he has a home is he inherited it.

It is really sad, and he was a great guy.

How does he get $200 a day for his habit?

He probably can't keep up with $200 a day and that is why he's hitting bottom....and switching it up with the cheaper speed.

He use to use methadone during the day while working and then use H after work and weekends...and he makes good money roofing...Around $1,000 a week, plus he hustles and deals a little. I actually haven't seen him in about a year but I see his bro. He use to work for me sometimes and I have known him since he was a kid...he's my younger bros buddy and they grew up together...My bro is bad too, but only with alcohol.

Don't know how it is in Canada wife says here in the US you can get a test at the hospital in 24 for emergencies don't know if this will help out or not @LaughingGrass sorry for your loss

I exhausted all options on the weekend. There's a bunch of testing centers here you can pay $200 and get your results in 24 hours but they couldn't get her in until this morning. If she was going to make it in time she had to fly out this morning. We're going to join them on Zoom. The funeral starts at 11am local time, that's 5am here. ugh!

TY. I hate pills period. Oxy put me in this mess. And I'm trying to avoid pain pills right down to aspirin. Always have.

Best wishes to you and @Laughing Grass. It has been crazy for many. And just plain messed up for most.

Peace and health.
