Never air your hate's to anyone! Hate can turn to love in a split second! You may be eating your words some day without salsa!

I was prescribed 3 drugs a couple months ago, I refuse to buy them, take them!

I work in a LTC/Rehab facility and I see it everyday! Drug-free seniors walk out the door drug addicts. And it's no surprise that the biggest group of drug abusers, in the future, will be our reviled senior citizens, and it's already happening.

They come to the facility recovering from hip surgery, the feel-good Dr.'s are right there to give them all the pain relief they crave. Even after the pain has subsided, or eliminated, even a day before they're released, and walking again, they're right there putting on that call light: I need my pain meds!

And what a show of acting skills they can exhibit!!! To some, worthy of an Oscar nomination!

I really don't even want to know what happens to some these "drug addicts" when they leave the facility!

In many respects, I don't see the drug dealers at CVS or Walgreen's as any different than other drug dealers!

Maybe you and the snakes can be bridesmaids.

I would only be a bridesmaid if one of the snakes would be the best man and one the maid of honor.

Very sad story, but this does prove that dog is really man's best friend....

Dog of Fallen Navy SEAL, Officer Jon Tumilson, Refuses To Leave Casket (VIDEO)

This broke my heart to read this. How sad, the dog will be taken by a family member of the fallen Navy SEAL. But this dog is SO heartbroke that I fear he may go on some kind of hunger strike as has been mentioned. That is love so strong, my wife and I love our canines so strongly that separation is anxiety and wailing in it's worst form.

They love you so deeply, it is so easy to love them more than...umm...
people.

As long as the Elvis impersonator performing the ceremony isn't afraid of dogs, I'm guessing aqua would insist.

My grandfather is 96 and was in some major back pain, they didn't want to operate due to age, so Vicodin it is! But, he is so afraid of getting addicted AND he is painfully frugal even at his age, so he cuts them in half! I'm thinking, at his age....enjoy the ride...you aren't going anywhere...you can't drive, barely walk...you know? It's the people who abuse them and the doctors who continue to prescribe them...

As far as me hating...I don't care. I know that one day I may need to eat that word right along with my meds, but for now...I see more pain from the *&#ing things than pain relief.
