Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
There's nothing you can do, Allyson.
It is gorgeous out, and I just ran the best errands ever. I got: generic Claritin; cards including "Grandmother, even though I never call, I still love you," and "Happy 40th Anniversary, parents!"; forever stamps PLUS cash back at the post office; and lunch. They offered me free soup, but who wants hot soup when it's hot out? Not me.
No, Daisy. It's hysteria.
Yeah, I have to say -- my high school was fairly riddled with drugs, and it wasn't such a big deal.
I'm thinking the traffic and closures from the mountain burning down are sort of equivalent to 4 feet of snow and the plows still haven't hit your neighborhood. Sure, you could ski in. If you were insane.
I knew of no drug use (besides alcohol) in my high school. After I graduated, I learned that a few people I knew smoked pot.
Drugs were something only the "burnouts" did....
I grew up in a suburb of LA before Nancy told us to just say no.
It's fair to say there were a few drugs around, but it never seemed like a big deal.
Yeah. I drank some in High School, but mostly after I turned 18. I didn't smoke until I was 18, and never did any other drugs. I've tried one or two things, but mostly they disagree with me.
I'm also thinking that surveying kids is not a good way to gather your statistics.
People did drugs in my high school, but because it was the "good" high school in the affluent neighborhood, the community at large didn't think it happened. Imagine the shock and outrage of the community when there was a big drug bust. Of course, it was coke, so there was much drama about that.
There was a fair amount of drugs in my high school but nothing crazier than pot or hallucinogens. However, from my siblings tales of high school in the 1970s, things were way wilder back then.
I understand they might be a problem in some schools, but our schools are riddled with drugs?
When I was in high school, I'd hear about pot and, once in a blue moon, ecstasy. Now the surrounding rural community apparently has a massive number of meth labs.
And yet I still have no idea what crystal meth looks like. Or how you, you know, take it.
