We will help you get your mom off drugs!

My mother is dying of hepatitis C. I’ve not talked to this woman for over four years now, and am still repulsed by the idea. Please save your abhorred “of course, she’s your mother!” for after my explanation.

One of my earliest memories as a child was of standing in the line at a Methadone clinic in San Antonio. There was a man that was always there with the the cutest, furriest little dog you’ve ever seen, and my sister and I would always play with it while we waited for the clinic to open. I remember that the people there used to be kind of scary, but being a kid I probably didn’t over think it. Of course my sister and I weren’t there by ourselves. Our mom would wake us up at 4am, to make the three hour trip with her once a month.

I’m trying to think of how to really describe my mother. I could say ” a horrible person”, and you might picture the most horrible person you know, and liken her to that. But that’s not right, not by half. I guess it will have to do though.

My dad died of liver cirrhosis when I was seven. I don’t remember very much about him, but I know I loved him. I can’t help but feel that my life would have been a lot different as a child had he not died so early. He would have stood up to my mother, and somehow would have helped her conquer her demons. The list of the disgusting, selfish, and cruel things she did to us is a lengthy one. I’ll not get into them all, but I feel a few examples are necessary to illustrate my problem.

She once walked into our living room, where I was hanging out with some friends, naked. She was high out of her mind on some kind of pills, she kept so many that I don’t know which. She was screaming. It’s not an easy memory for me to force myself to dredge up from the dark recesses of my mind. Suffice it to say I don’t think I’ve ever felt as humiliated, infuriated, and hopeless as I did at that moment.

She was constantly directing a stream of profanity at my sister and I. We were often told that our existence was a mistake. Also, “fucking little sluts” was used a lot, particularly after my first boyfriend started spreading the lie that I had cheated on him. Somehow she heard about this, and she threw it in my face on a fairly regular basis that I was “a fat cheating slut”. That was her other favorite, the fat thing. I guess back then I was kind of chunky. Hearing “Fat little bitch” and “Why don’t you just go stuff your face some more?” was enough motivation for me to lose 40lbs in one summer. Of course, I lost it because I developed an eating disorder.

The only thing provided as far as basic essentials to life for my sister and I was a roof over our heads and clean water. That’s more than some people have, I know, but why have two children if that’s all you’ve got to offer? There was never food of any kind to speak of in our house. We ate our free lunch at school, and supper with our aunt, who, thank goodness, lived right next door. Things like shampoo, deodorant, tampons even… they weren’t provided. Once again we depended on the kindness of my aunt for these. She was extremely poor, but she helped us, and I’m grateful for it.

I think you probably get the idea. She is a drug addict, a drunk, and a sad example of humankind.

When I was 17 my friend and I moved in together. I was still going to high school, but we had our own little apartment that we paid for working fast food jobs. Today I live in a huge luxury apartment with my boyfriend of two years. I love him dearly, and this life I’ve created for myself. I’ve never looked back. I’m happy.

Or was. This dilemma has been plaguing me for nearly a year now. I’ve got the most extreme set of morals of anyone I’ve ever met. What she did to us was wrong, in every sense of the word. The question is, is someday am I going to regret not making peace with her? I can’t for the life of me see how I would regret it, but still, as her life is ending, I’m running out of time to be certain.

To those of you that would say, “Addiction is a disease, it’s not her fault”, to you I say, bullshit. I’ve conquered an addiction to methamphetamine in my teenage years, clinical depression, and an eating disorder. I’ve done it without drugs, therapy, or anything other than my own determination. And I don’t have kids. What more motivation should a person need to clean up their act than having two kids that need a mother?

Another factor to consider is that I’m an atheist, and a proud one. I am not in the least bit interested in changing that. I can’t just forgive her for the sake of forgiveness, thinking that she will be judged after her time here is done. No. I believe people need to be held accountable for their actions here and now.

I’m not looking for sympathy here, just an unbiased answer. And please, answer as if you didn’t have a higher power to turn to.

I just watched the post game interview and its the first time I have ever heard him talk, but wow I realize why that probably was. I am pretty sure if there was an award for most down syndrome person without down syndrome he would be a top 3 candidate. Just his speech is enough to make you think that he was dropped or ole boy’s mother was getting her drink an her two step on when she shouldnt have been.

Are you one of the many individuals searching for an alternative to the endless shaving and waxing of unwanted hair? If you’re looking for a procedure that produces long-lasting results, laser hair removal may be your best choice.

There are more and more people obtaining laser hair removal treatment with the purpose of removing the irritating ugly hair on particular parts of their bodies. This type of treatment is also used to reduce the hair growth process. Although the price for each session of the treatment is high, it is still the most popular hair removal treatment nowadays.

Electrolysis consumes more time than laser treatment as it treats single hair follicle at a time. Laser on the other hand, targets dozens of follicles simultaneously and hence takes less time. Small procedures may only require a single session

To stop the process of hair growth on certain parts of body In normal circumstances, most patients enjoy 80-90% of reduction in hair growth.

To remove unwanted hair permanently because most of them find that plucking, shaving and waxing are tiring, time consuming and troublesome.

The best thing to do if you’re shopping around is to get as many quotes as you can for the same length of treatment. You’ll begin to see the patterns, and you can decide for yourself if lasers fall inside your budget or not. For lengthy hair removal requirements, you may decide that waxing didn’t hurt that much after all.

Those who have tried the pubic laser hair treatment have sworn to it making the pubic area smooth. In this method, a laser that sends beams of light right through the skins surface to remove pubic hair from its follicles is used. The follicles will fall out after absorbing the beam of light. As much as the results that most have received from this laser hair treatment have been effective.

The kind of laser hair removal equipment being used by most health and beauty centers also plays a vital role of identifying the kind of damage that affect your eye vision during the performance of this particular laser treatment.

On the other hand, we have to admit that plucking is at no cost but it is really time consuming. You can spend your free time with other activities but not plucking the irritating hair at your room. As a result, it is still worthwhile using this laser technique when you compare it with other traditional ways.

Of course, skill also has a lot to do with the effectiveness of a laser hair removal treatment for women. For a successful hair removal procedure, go to a doctor who knows more about the procedure than say, a salon worker. A laser hair removal treatment is a medical procedure, thus only a licensed and trained doctor will be able to successfully perform the procedure.

You shouldn’t touch the treated area for a few days and try to avoid direct sunlight as this may affect the result. However, if you are suffering pain, swelling, redness, skin discoloration or redness after the treatment, do not hesitate to visit your doctors immediately to identify the problem.

Colon hydrotherapy is an alternative health therapy used to restore and maintain optimum health. It is safer than home enemas and most reputable therapists use state-of-the-art equipment allowing the treatment to be professionally administered usually by a certified colon therapist. Prior to the therapy you may be asked to eat light meals as well as possibly being asked to take an enema.

During the colon hydrotherapy, you’ll be required to lie on your stomach while the practitioner gently inserts a speculum (a small rigid tube) into your rectal canal. A plastic hose is attached to the speculum which in turn connects to a colon irrigation machine. Colonic hydrotherapy is becoming an increasingly widely used home treatment these days. But before you undergo this treatment you should have a good idea about exactly what colonic hydrotherapy is and the benefits it can bring you by making your digestive system work properly.

There are a few times when you definitely shouldn’t use this treatment. Colon hydrotherapy is not advised during pregnancy, particularly the first and third trimesters. The reason? It activates the colon which has the effect of stimulating other organs in the body. There is also a chance that toxins can be released into the blood which could in turn pass to the placenta. The only time a colonic might be considered during pregnancy is if you are severely constipated. In this case a treatment can give much needed relief.

Many people ask if they need to see their doctor before a colonic. If you have a health issue that you would like to inform your doctor about before a colonic treatment then go ahead but a medical examination beforehand is not necessary. If you have been diagnosed with rectal or intestinal tumours, diverticulitis, chron’s disease, ulcerative colitis, acute liver failure, severe haemorrhoids or anal fissures, an abdominal hernia, an aneurysm or lupus or severe anaemia then colonic hydrotherapy is not recommended.

Another common question asked by many is whether there is any chance of cross contamination from the equipment used. There have been a very small number of cases of cross contamination but it’s rarely an issue. You should always check that your therapist uses pre-sterilised disposable hoses and tubing. The rectal tubes should be individually wrapped in sealed packaging which you should see being opened in front of you. Professionals will always take the utmost care and operate to a high level of hygiene at all times.

The central purpose for the enactment of the United States Sentencing Guidelines was to obtain uniformity in sentencing on a national level. While the Guidelines were intended to eliminate Judge’s personalities and personal proclivities as well as eliminate disparities in regions or districts, the simple fact of the matter is that there are some districts in which downward departures are the rule and other districts where downward departures are either the exception or just never done. Even within districts, the guidelines have done nothing to address the disparity among different judges with regard to their views of downward departures in similar cases. In addition, federal prosecutors are including in written plea agreements a stipulation that no additional downward departure beyond those concessions or agreements contained in the written plea agreement can be sought by the Defendant in what is an obvious effort to eliminate what has certainly become a very fruitful area for creative lawyering in federal sentencing proceedings.

In an effort to put together a meaningful presentation for this seminar, I sought out success stories from my partners and colleagues (Miami criminal defense lawyers), both in the Southern District of Florida, my home court, and from around the country. While the grounds for downward departure are limited only by one’s imagination, here are some departure ideas that have worked successfully and which you might apply in your federal cases in which your client is facing sentencing pursuant to the United States Sentencing Guidelines.
I. Extraordinary post offense rehabilitation.
Unquestionably, the heartland criminal case in federal court is a case in which the arrest and prosecution of the defendant follows very shortly after the offense conduct. There are, however, many federal criminal prosecutions that are not initiated, often times, until the eve of the running of the statute of limitations. In those circumstances, pose the question: What has the defendant done with his or her life subsequent to the offense conduct but prior to the prosecution being initiated?

In United States of America vs. Alexander Chiong, United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa, Division, Judge Moody, the defendant was indicted in a significant cocaine distribution case. The Indictment was returned four years and eleven months after the last distribution. There was almost an additional full year before the Defendant came before the Court for resolution of those charges. The amount of cocaine exceeded 150 kilograms (in fact, the government alleges 1,500 kilograms) and the plea agreement provided for stipulations regarding the amount of cocaine, acceptance of responsibility, role in the offense and an agreement that no downward departures pursuant to Chapter 2 of the Sentencing Guidelines would be permitted. In the roughly five years that had transpired since the offense, there was no evidence that the defendant had continued in the drug trade; the defendant worked at extremely laborious jobs in order to provide modest support for his family including lawn maintenance (pushing a lawnmower), pressure cleaning of homes and businesses and auto detailing. In addition, the defendant coached soccer, football and baseball teams that his children were involved in at local parks resulting in the usual plaques and certificates of appreciation given out by the local optimist club, etc. The motion for downward departure was based upon the defendant’s claim that his post offense conduct took the case outside of the heartland of federal drug prosecutions and warranted a downward departure based upon this “extraordinary post offense conduct.” The pre-sentence investigation report accurately concluded that the adjusted offense level required a sentence between 135 and 157 months. The court was persuaded that the defendant was not all bad as the government had alleged and that his post offense conduct warranted a four level downward departure resulting in a 97 month sentence.

Have you ever heard of a rehabilitation center with luxury and facilities like that of a world class hotel? Very few people have heard of such a rehab. Here it is; the Sunset Malibu rehab with luxury and facilities for inmates like world class hotels. Moreover, they can do something that the hotels cannot do. They can bring back an addict back to his or her normal healthy life. This luxurious lifestyle is not just for showing their superiority. It is done solely for the patients, so that the patients get some comfort during the physically and mentally painful treatment process. These facilities are also provided for the close relatives of the patients, who are needed during the treatment process. The close ones are needed do that the patients can feel as if they are at home.

These comfort and luxury is not the only facility that they provide. Only these two criteria cannot cure a person. The most important steps that the Malibu rehab adopts are the treatment programs. World class doctors are appointed for these programs. They take adequate care of the inmates and looks forward to all possible ways that can be undertaken. The medical staffs interact with the inmates like that of a family. They never let them feel lonely or insecure. For this interaction process to be taken care off, the Malibu rehab center has provided the inmates with a luxurious living room, when all the patients can interact with each other. Even the environment of the Malibu recovery rehab is too much friendly for the inmates who are undergoing treatment. It is extremely soothing for the patients.

But it is not only the rehabs responsibility to gain success; the addicted person must co-ordinate with the staffs so that they can help the patients to get rid of this addiction. Group discussions are often done to know the betterment of the patient. The staffs of the Malibu rehab give their best to be successful in the rehabilitation of the patient.

The first procedure that is conducted for each patient is the detox program, which eliminates each and every bit of narcotic particle present in the body of the patient. The withdrawal symptoms show up just during this process, when the addicted person cannot his drug when needed. Some of the withdrawal effects are running nose, stomach and muscle cramp, nausea and headache. This makes the patients restless and they go wild to an extreme level often. Had it been some other rehab, the patient would surely run away. But, the comfort of the Malibu rehab holds the patient back; even sooths their mind and body.

Moreover, when a person gets out after complete rehabilitation, the Malibu rehab looks to it that the person does not get back to his addiction habit ever. With their rate of success, Malibu recovery rehab has proved to be the best of all American rehabs. The care they take for the complete rehabilitation of their patients is unimaginable. It is the success of rehabiliting a patient that matters to them.

If you have a room that is appearing drab and lifeless, perhaps it is time to paint that room. This is a great DIY project that almost anyone can do if you have the right tools and work carefully.

Start the job by collecting all the tools that you will need. The following may be sufficient for the painting as a DIY job: roller, paint brushes, masking tape, old newspaper, paint roller tray and drop cloths.

The first step in painting a room it to remove everything possible from the room. This includes window treatments and even doors. If it is not possible to remove something from a room then it will need to be covered with a drop cloth. Your goal is to only get paint where you want it and to protect anything else from spills or drips of paint.

If your ceilings are already painted ceiling white and you do not mind leaving them that color, your job will be much easier.

Once you have removed everything from the room, use masking tape to mask off any trim that will not be painted. It can also mask off the ceiling. Exceptionally wide trim may need to be covered with newspaper to prevent slops.

It is easiest to remove cover plates from electrical outlets and switches before painting. The actual switch or outlet can be covered with masking tape.

The floor needs to be covered with a drop cloth to prevent splatters from reaching the carpet or other covering. While a canvas drop cloth will cost more than plastic, it is much easier to use and can be used again and again.

After everything is covered, you can use the brush to paint all corners and edges. A strip that is two to three inches wide should be painted in the corners and at the ceiling. Continue using the paint brush around the windows and doors.

The quickest change takes place when you start using the roller. You should start at one corner and then work around the room to that same corner. Complete all the painting in one session if possible to avoid start/stop lines. If you must stop wrap the roller tightly with a plastic bag and add a little layer of water over your paint can. You want to prevent the paint from drying so that you can begin again very quickly.

When the paint work is finished, be sure to clean all tools with soap and water. It is usually easiest to throw away the roller cover that you have wrapped in a plastic bag. The brush and roller pan are easily cleaned and can be used again.

Remove the drop cloths, all tape and newspaper and replace all cover plates. Give the paint time to dry and cure before returning furniture to the room. Replace the window covers.

This fresh painting of the room can quickly change the looks of a room from drab and dull to bright an cheerful. In addition this is a great job for DIY.

Once the all important decision has been made, a commitment has to be made to getting help; once there is an acknowledgement that there is a problem and that problem needs help to be tackled, then one goes on to the next step; that is choosing an alcohol rehab center. That imperative has been identified, that the alcohol rehab detox intervention is actually required and then you come to the next hurdle; how to choose the right alcohol rehab center.

Choosing the right alcohol rehab center is an important step and choosing wisely and well can actually help sustain the decision for recovery and make the recovery itself more successful.

Inpatient or Outpatient: Be honest when asking the question about the severity of the problem. A more severe problem will require the more intense nature of alcohol rehab offered by an inpatient facility and based on the severity of the problem one needs to make the decision about in or outpatient alcohol rehab.

Price and Location: Both these are primary, practical considerations to consider when making a decision about alcohol rehab. The location has to be convenient and accessible, particularly if you are considering an outpatient facility. This is not such an important consideration if you are considering an inpatient facility which does not require a regular commute.

Also consider if the facility is good value for money by weighing the facilities offered against the price quoted. If it is an inpatient facility you are considering you must check out the level of comfort and actual facilities that the place offers. The level of comfort and indeed luxury are not exactly pertinent to the recovery process but one may have a better chance of concentrating on the process of recovery if one’s physical comforts are looked after. If the facility does not ‘feel right’, it may just be that one may find it an uncomfortable place to be in for any length of time.

Kind of Care offered: What is the philosophy of care that a particular facility offers? Is the emphasis on a religious healing, on group therapy, counseling, what exactly is the accent on? Do you agree with the philosophy of care? What are your beliefs? Do they match with the care offered? Also find out what is the level of one on one care offered by the facility and balance this against the cost of the facility to see what is worthwhile by seeing how many personal sessions with a psychologist are included.

Post Rehab Program: Alcoholic rehab is not just about the program at the alcohol rehab center, it is also about the care that a person receives after the program is over; in other words the follow up. Ideally the rehab center you choose should have a recovery after care program which could prove to be the difference between a successful recovery and a relapse. So find out the kind of aftercare offer and the duration for which it is offered.

I believe they’re older than three weeks. I am not sure if they’re weaned from their mothers milk but, they are already eating dry food, drinking out of the water bottle, managing their way up the tubes, and I even saw one running on the weel.

They have 3 yorkies and they pee on the floor sometimes and that dries on there. I don’t know if they just don’t get around to it, lazy, or are just used to it. His mom is the sweetest person so I don’t want to offend her but I can’t live like that, I’ve never seen anything like that. We put our son’s bottles in the fridge and it’s so unsanitary!

Lets just say i didn’t have the best childhood. All i want to do is give a child a good and happy home.

Recent changes in U.S. law made declaring bankruptcy a much more complicated matter. Chapter 7 is the most common form of bankruptcy requested by debtors and does not require repayment. However, the U.S. Trustee has become much more aggressive in denying Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and instead forcing people into a Chapter 13 bankruptcy that does require repayment. Today you need much more from your law firm to get your Chapter 7 petition approved.

Under the new regulations, the government requirements to obtain a Chapter 7 bankruptcy are:

# Obtaining a Special Edition Credit Report of your obligations

# Transfers of your accounts to collection agencies

# Third-party assignees and if any judgments have been obtained against you

# Obtaining a copy of your IRS Tax Transcripts

# The Pre-Filing Credit Class

# Performance and certification of the Financial Means Test

# Preparation and filing of your petition

# Payment of all court filing fess;

# Representation at court hearings (as known as the Meeting of Creditors)

# A copy of your official filed bankruptcy petition

# And the Post-Filing Credit Class.

Arguably the most difficult and the most critical part of the Chapter 7 process is the new “means test.” The means test compares the debtor’s income in the six months before the filing of the bankruptcy to their state’s median income. If the debtor’s income falls below the state median, they are automatically allowed to file for bankruptcy under Chapter 7. If the debtor’s income is above their state’s median income, they may still qualify to file for Chapter 7, but it becomes more complicated process with additional tests that take their expenses and excess income into account.

Another crucial step in getting your Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition approved is the “341 creditors meeting.” The meeting takes place one to three months after the bankruptcy petition is filed, the 341 creditors meeting takes place, which allows creditors the chance to gain additional information about the debtor’s finances and ability to repay his debt. While you are not required to have a bankruptcy attorney, it is important to make sure you are prepared properly for the meeting.

Considering both the new and the old requirements, it may be in the best interests of a debtor to hire a law firm that has both bankruptcy lawyers and a professional accountant.

I’m a 31 year old divorced male who owns a home in NJ but is living in his mom’s basement in CT. I don’t need to work, I don’t like to work, I don’t like to do much. I like young girls and I don’t have many interests in life but I’m awesome. Some might call me a loser. I like to sleep a lot. I don’t really like the chat line but I like thinking about the idea of having a hot chick on the other side of the line that I can sleep with. I’m a binge drinker, not an alcoholic. What should I do with my life? I don’t think I will live another 37.5 years. Ideally I’d move to Utah and become a polygamist.

These are the words, verbatim, from my dear friend. I want to help him but have been unsuccessful to date. He needs to help himself but doesn’t know how to, because he doesn’t give a hoot about anything right now.

Please give him some advice.
