Batesmotel Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Went a kid’s wedding reception tonight. Caught up with an old friend. Found out another childhood friend died last year. Drugs. Just Damn. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I learned that a college roommate, a big big drug guy, that had influenced me a bit too much, took it. Last I saw him, he was long-time-clean, healthy, muscular (from his skeletonism), happy, and newly married. He was an expert mechanic, so much so that he was pretty wealthy. They said he put a gun in his mouth, but didn't die. So he drove himself to the hospital, where he died. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 This guy grew up at his Dad's race-car shop in Dalhart, TX. He built VW Bugs, and was chasing a (I don't remember) 8 second 1/4 mile. He could tune up your car so Mom would accidentally leave burn marks in the driveway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I volunteered in a prison with drug offenders who were getting close to being released. Even after working with them and hearing their stories I can’t imagine the power that crap has over someone once they are into it. He was a good guy. Sucks that crap won. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big part of why I don't work child welfare anymore. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biff Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I have a brother who took a lot of acid when he was a teenager, and later in life it caught up with him. He has been a schizophrenic for decades now, and it was the dope that did it. Because he would take just anything, and it wasn’t just one thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
