    Dealing with addiction

    Any advice on alcohol? A distant friend has asked me help point them in the right directin. I know nothing about it in the least. I don't drink. Never known anyone with an issue. At least for right now going someplace for help would be off the table. I guess one good thing is they know they have...

    They're opening the Bonnet Carre spillway just above New Orleans again. 4 of the last 5 years they've opened it now. Prior to that 10 openings over last 45 years. Mentioned how big of an algae bloom due to the fertilizer the sent out last year. They did say don't come out and watch this year...

    They arrested the preacher in Baton Rouge today. Didn't shut down the church. Misdemeanor counts for disobeying governors soandso orders in the decleration of an emergy or such and organizing people to break the orders by busing them in. I'm not sure he even was taken into custody. Democratic...

    A bunch of pass the buck now. More show up and they had two more stories on the news showing bussloads coming in. It magically changed from a black preacher and 90% black people there to all white now. I learned the suburb has a mayor and a police force, news to me. I bet that totals 2 people.

    I realize contacts are different but medical prescriptions right now seem like they are throwing a large fudge factor in.

    It only lasted a short time, maybe 4 hours on the first one and then 2 hours when I took a pill after that. Then I felt like I had a little extra and not as much fatigue. It may have went away the longer I took them. No idea like I said I'm changing my days and nights around and not having much...

    I think they have much fewer cases.
