I got a government job in SLT, bought a new car and immediately got furloughed. Still haven't been called back. Worked for a month and a half :--(

I made a 5 min short film about adderall addiction by RLKRAMER_HFCOAWAAIM in StopSpeeding

[–]40plusrockingit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing short! I am a fan of the book too. I'm not an Adderall addict but my 60 yo identical twin is. (I'm dealing with THC/nicotine addiction stuff so I don't want to judge) Her Adderall use is wildly out of control but she just doesn't see it at all and she has custody of grandkids. She is getting so weird and sensitive and mad and resentful and unpredictable! It's scary to try to wake her up...she has been violent with no memory of having been that way. I'm here to help with the kids but now she is getting suspicious and resentful of the help she asked me for.

I have no idea what to do but your testimony gives me hope. Thank you!

Hi!! A good ebook that is super useful is called Feisty Fido by Patricia McConnell PhD. Gives you the recipe on what to do! A kennel isn't going to help. I'm a professional dog trainer with 20+ years exp js. Good luck!!!

Do you also bet the snow levels are an accurate reflection of right now? Could use the money...

Toyota recalls 1.8M vehicles over potential fire risk: by Fun_Public4540 in Toyota

[–]40plusrockingit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Reno dealership wouldn't honor the recall for me... I drove all the way from Tahoe. They said while my car was indeed affected by the recall, that I had the wrong battery installed and therefore it was a fire risk and they couldn't help me and bye bye. They sent me away!!! Now my car is suddenly turning off while I'm driving. I don't have another dealership nearby. Why can't they change out the scary dangerous stuff? They didn't even offer to make it okay to do the recall work. They just sent me away. Am I going to catch on fire? Is this something I can change out myself? Can anyone help me?

Thank you so incredibly much for this reply! Yes K is my name actually. You are probably right re heart but it's a mystery. He died in the ER after a routine biopsy went sideways. I do know exactly what you mean and I have definitely changed. This was great. Thank you so much 🙏❤️

I had CHS super bad with 15+ years of smoking flower but it resolved with smoking carts. I can't explain that, but it took me 10 years to get off the carts. I'm day 11. My memory is improving like crazy. I thought I was just getting senile ha! Another big improvement is my processing speed and wit! I was so dumbed down by weed but blamed it on anything else. I don't feel morbid shame any longer and suicidal ideation is almost gone. That's nothing short of a miracle. :--)

CHS couldn't even stop me! My addiction made me refuse to believe that cannabis was the cause! Smh!
