How many teeth among them, I wonder. I mean, not counting the toothless dead baby, poor dear.

I don't think the powers that be should let a mother that young have the baby unless there is an older person (the grandmother or guardian) who takes ultimate responsibility for it. 14 is reaaallly young to be taking complete responsibility for a baby, even for a smart 14 year old.

You realize she may have been as young as 11.5 years old when she was knocked up.

Assuming she turns 15 tomorrow and the baby would have turned 21 months then the oldest she could have possibly been would be 12.5.

Kentucky you say?  Hmmm.

Kentucky? Whew. I thought Fnord had found a posting about my relatives.

I keep looking for your "bag" on E-Bay*; But . . .

It's not what you think.  I'm trying to plan a "surprise party."

Though I gotta say, I don't think any one uses meth intending to become a heavy user, do they?

Eh, I might consider it were I not so much of a "commitment-phobe."  It sure as fuck "beats" the "snail's-pace" of slightly-more-amusing-by-the-day-and-didn't-I-tell-that-you-was-coming "reality."  I mean, if we're going to compare . . .

No, but one of your first thoughts after you take it is, "I think I'm going to ingest a lot more of this."

Or something along those lines.

Which is primarily what makes it such an insidious drug.

A-Gain, I'm telling you:  Do not believe the bull-shit that your corporate government is feeding you.  Methedrine does not cause your teeth to rot.  Some heavy users experience dental problems due only to a combination of a poor diet and a "habit" of grinding their teeth whilst "cranking."  You know, I'm getting about "fed-up" with being the only rational "voice" a-round here.  Where's Opsec?

I'm afraid I have little experience with meth, but thank you for the aspersion. My understanding was that of Toe's, that lack of saliva encourages bacterial growth in the teeth, and I can't imagine constricted blood flow is very good for them either.

As to where I am, I'm right here.  I read the forum daily if I can and enjoy it, but I'm unable to spare much for interaction.  I also don't like to post from work, and I'm pretty careful about surfing there.  While I own the server logs and my co-workers are relatively laid back, I'm subjected to a veritable alphabet soup of agencies whose righteous minions are always hanging around for some reason or another.  So I have to keep the goat porn to a minimum.

Suffice to say that I do enjoy most everyone's posts and comments.  Please do carry on.

There used to be a concoction in L.A. in the late-ish 70's called: 60/40.  60% Meth/40% Cocaine.  I can't even put into words what this was like.   

Fond Memories just the same...

Yeah - Each drug and each user is different.  I could never under-stand people who allegedly had "an alcohol problem" until I temporarily took in a room-mate who demonstrated to me just what such a "problem" entails.  And, now, I'm realizing that nicotine has a more "serious hold on me" than I'd previously considered*.

*Still haven't found a reasonably-priced, illicit, source; But, I do have a plan which will have me "swimming in tobacco" for years to come (Not a particularly good plan, mind you - I mostly "lifted it" from "Reindeer Games.").

I realized how addicted to nicotine I was when I ran out of smokes had no cash and actually considered picking through the ashtray at work for the one cigarette that hadn't been completely smoked.

Then, I started the patch. No smoke, no tar taste in the mouth, but no screaming fits, either.
