  1. “My doctor gave me a prescription for oxycodone. I have like 30 of them but I don’t want to take them because it’s make me drowsy or out of it. Is it supposed to be strong stuff?”

    I had 40 of them prescribed after my arthroscopic surgery. I took a couple of them right after and it didn’t do much for me (I didn’t have much pain to start with, so that wasn’t an issue, but I also didn’t feel any high / sense of addiction at all). They’re sitting around gathering dust now. I’ll likely just toss them when I get around to it.

    My brother was hooked on oxycodone but never upgraded to heroin because he’s afraid of needles.

    most people start out snorting heroin tho. it’s cheap. that’s why so many people are addicted to it. it’s a total suburban white kid drug of choice these days.

  3. On the news last night, I saw that the last GE plant in the U.S. that manufactures incandescent light bulbs is closing, today I think, in light of the law Congress passed making compact fluorescent bulbs mandatory. Apparently incandescent bulbs can no longer be manufactured in the U.S., but I assume they can still be imported.

    I am very environmentally conscious and try to be green where I can be, and where I don’t think it’s just a ruse for someone to make money by calling something green. Go ahead lechacal, Legion, let me have it!

    That said, as a practical matter, I can’t use compact fluorescent bulbs in most fixtures in my apartment. You can’t use them in covered light fixtures and you can’t use them in dimmer switches. So that begs the question about what millions of people are going to do about millions of fixtures in which compact fluorescents can’t be used?

  4. Oh, man, cgar, at the risk of revealing my cyberidentity to any nuclear or extended family members who may be lurking, somewhere I have a picture of me and my family at my 6th grade graduation. My dad and I are both in plaid leisure suits. I’ve got a bright red shirt. Our shirt collars are over the jacket collars. My dad is flashing more chest hair than is now legally permissible within a 50 mile radius of soho. I think I have on a silver “chai” necklace. I am wearing a braided leather belt. And my younger sister is wearing a macrame belt. No sweat bands, it was a formal occasion.

    OK, cgar, did I miss anything? Do I get to be on the jew version of That 70s Show now?
