| Manipulation |
| Feeling sad tonight, and angry. Alcoholic sister wrote me a lot of trash-talking emails (about me and my husband)--all the usual crap, that "we don't understand her", that our relationship with her... Feeling sad tonight, and angry. Alcoholic sister wrote me a lot of trash-talking emails (about me and my husband)--all the usual crap, that "we don't understand her", that our relationship with her is a "sham" and she is "beyond hurt by our treatment of her"--to which I did not respond and deleted them.
So then "Jane" decided to contact my mother-in-law via email (whom she's only met once and barely knows anyway); she apparently wrote my mother-in-law a long, rambling drunk email, saying how much me and my husband "hate her" and how she needs to get in contact with me because she has a sickness and "I don't love her enough". The usual blame game. It's everyone else's fault.
My mother-in-law deleted the email and told us she's not getting involved (good decision).
I just feel embarrassed and angry (at Jane) for trying to get to me through my mother-in-law. But I guess alcoholics will try anything, eh?
My parents continue to allow themselves to be manipulated by Jane. They give her money, they're putting her up in a hotel right now because--what a surprise--Jane is homeless and jobless.
So sick of all this crap.
Thanks for listening. Had to rant.

| I have been sick. |
| 12 months ago he acknowledged he had a problem, had some counselling, said he would stop...quack quack quack. We did not live together except for weekends for the year. 5-6 weeks ago after not living... 12 months ago he acknowledged he had a problem, had some counselling, said he would stop...quack quack quack. We did not live together except for weekends for the year. 5-6 weeks ago after not living together we moved together with my 15yo to a new town with new jobs. An exciting career move for me with good money.
His drinking that had been hidden from me for the past 12 months became glaringly obvious and I started stating my boundaries and following through For example not sleeping in the same bed when he chose to drink. Disengaging when he drinks. He states he does not have a problem, has no intention to go to meetings, read or change.
I felt things coming to a head with me wanting to end the relationship and he tried to initiate a talk but I asked for 2 weeks to settle into my new job before we had "The Talk"
Well lo and behold at the 2 week mark almost to the dot I got sick. Very sick with pnemonia. He was to drunk to drive me to Emergency, the *****, so I drove myself. I was just discharged yesterday. I also lost my vioce completely. so as a consequence we still haven't had the talk. LOL I cant speak. I am so mad!
He hasn't contributed one cent to rent or household expences even though he is working full time. I feel used and taken for granted. He didn't bring my daughter up once to see me in hospital.
Now that I can clearly see what the problems are in our relationship and have defined my bottom line how quickly I have gone from loving this person to hating him.
So I am waiting for my voice to return. Things are horrible at home. he drinks My DD and i hate him.

| US OH: PUB LTE: Ohio's Ill Deserve Legalized Cannabis |
| Medina County Gazette, 05 May 2010 - Ohio should be the 15th state for medical cannabis. The side effects from prescription drugs are often too bad, and some cause death. People are just sick and tired of being sick and tired, and no one is listening to them. Not even our gov-ernment is willing to listen to the sick, so who will? There is no evidence cannabis causes cancer! Actually, research has shown it reduces tumors. If you have multiple sclerosis, AIDS/HIV, wasting disease, and/or need to have chemo, medical cannabis is the best. It stops the tremors and helps you eat and gain weight. Medical cannabis helps with nausea, sores in the mouth and the sick feeling that comes from chemo. It can also help with a lot of other afflictions. |
| US MA: PUB LTE: The Real Reason Brown Won Election |
| The Daily News, 08 Feb 2010 - To the editor: Since Jan. 20, letter writers and pundits have written analyzing why Scott Brown, a Republican, won the Senate seat. Thanks to late polling by David Paleologos, I voted my conscience and voted for Joe Kennedy, the true peace and prosperity candidate. Nonetheless, I offer my thoughts on why a Republican won in this state where 37 percent of the voters are registered Democrats, 13 percent Republicans and the rest Independents. The blame goes to Mike Capuano, the congressman from Somerville and a co-sponsor of a federal marijuana decriminalization bill, who lost to "Reefer Mad" Martha Coakley in the Democratic primary. Martha must have known of his sponsorship of federal marijuana law reform. Martha led the opposition to Question 2 in 2008. Her side lost in a landslide. She did the safe and prudent thing by not raising the "marijuana question." Michael miscalculated by not challenging her about it. Had he won the primary, he could have used the same club to dispel perceptions of Scott Brown as a populist by pointing out that he opposed Question 2 and filed legislation to gut it, though in his election to the state Senate in 2008, almost 8,700 more people voted for Question 2 than voted for him in his district. |
| US AL: PUB LTE: Medical Marijuana: Bill Would Legalize Use |
| The Birmingham News, 08 Feb 2010 - It makes no sense to treat cancer patients and other chronically ill individuals like criminals for attempting to ease their pain and suffering. But that's exactly what Alabama does, preventing its sickest residents from using marijuana under a doctor's supervision. For many patients, prescription painkillers do not help, and their harmful side effects are much worse than the original symptoms. Denying this more natural and safer type of relief is nothing less than cruel. |
| US AL: PUB LTE: Marijuana Nonsense |
| Anniston Star, 08 Feb 2010 - Tonya Curvin wrote in her recent Speak Out letter to The Star, "There are other ways to live a painful life without drugs: Therapists, chiropractors, counselors, pastors and exercises are examples. It's also sad to say, but some chronic pain sufferers got hurt under the influence of drugs and that's why they are now in chronic pain." Note that she said "live a painful life" instead of "alleviate their pain." |
| US WA: PUB LTE: Court Decision Fails to Uphold Law |
| The Olympian, 04 Feb 2010 - I am responding to a story that ran in The Olympian titled "Wash. court: Doc's pot OK doesn't preclude search." With such a terrible budget situation in our state and the rising cost of health care, our courts have handed down another bad policy made by case law that is totally against the spirit of our electorate. |

| FDA Concerned About Appeal of Smokeless Tobacco Products to Kids |
| The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is "concerned that children and adolescents may find dissolvable tobacco products particularly appealing, given the brightly colored packaging, candy-like appearance and easily concealable size of many of these products." |
| Marijuana Decriminalization Considered in R.I. |
| A state Senate leader and the group Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) are pressing state lawmakers to decriminalize marijuana possession in Rhode Island. |
| 3 Million Uninsured Workers Need Addiction Treatment, SAMHSA Estimates |
