Im starting to think maybe we should start a prayer request thread. Ive also been going through the hardest time in my life. I dont talk much about my personal life to others because I tend to keep things to myself. Anyway, prayers to everyone and just stay strong and NEVER give up.

The past year or so has been quite tough for me as well. I also don't talk much about personal matters but sometimes it helps to do that.

Praying for you and everyone else. Even though I don't know anyone on here personally, I care about everyone's well-being and I truly believe that everyone will overcome whatever they are going through. We just have to stay positive and stay strong and be a fighter.

Thanks. I will pray for you and everyone here needing prayers as well. Staying positive in a bad situation is tough but with some good support it can get you through the day.
 
^ Unfortunately in recent years, a good number of folks who use/get addicted to heroin had previously never been a recreational drug user but rather were prescribed opioids for back, neck, and other chronic pain. Apparently, that's why there's an epidemic. So, folks prescribed pain pills for back and other pain need to be very wary and to try not to take them unless they can't stand the pain/only take them no more than occasionally/keep dosages low if at all possible. If there's anything else one can do to alleviate the pain, by all means go that route including surgery, epidural steroidal injections, hot/cold compresses, chiropractor, acupuncture, massages, TENS etc. Fortunately, many folks don't like how pain pills make them feel/side effects and have no problem avoiding taking many or even any of them. They aren't the problem. The ones who do like the feeling (in addition to the pain relief) too much are those who are most vulnerable to getting addicted and then later using heroin.

Yeah, it’s a sad world! Apparently, what I’ve heard is people get the pain pills and get addicted to them, then they are too expensive to get on the street 20-50$ a pill, just guessing and all their prescriptions are exhausted! You can get hits of heroine for 10$ or less, I think and it gives you the same effect!
 
Also, saw a great post the other day, to the tune of : why do they give all these meth heads 5+ shots of NARCON, to save them from overdosing, but drug companies charge 300$+ for epi-pens, so people won’t die from anaphylactic shock!
 
Going to the Angus Barn tonight for my brother's 50th birthday. I'd rather go to Texas Roadhouse.

why do you want either camp to die easier? The better question...

You missed the point altogether! Big Pharmaceutical companies control everything, and they are the problem!

The Angus Barn has a great atmosphere, a wine cellar in full vintage, wild turkey lounge (complete bar), some great crackers-cheeses-peppers among other things to snack on prior to meal. Also, prime rib that is as good as you will get anywhere. I do give you this, the Texas Roadhouse is the best chain steakhouse out there.
 
Soooo, has anyone had a week where they have jury duty but also has had someone call them and ask if you can do a job interview on that same week? As that happened to me just this morning.

I asked for Tuesday since I figured I'd be called in on Monday but shortly after my dad confronted me and said "You shouldn't have asked for a different day because you don't know when the court is going to want you in, you assumed, you should've just taken Monday and planned to call them back and ask for a different day if you go to jury duty on Monday."
