Besides, I have extensive Google research to prove that objects thrown out of the car window are actually jetsam and thus covered under maritime law so I can’t actually be prosecuted by the police. - Uh, still really littering. - Haha, no, I’ve never littered.

Do you “know how it’s going to go” because you also know you are misstating the facts? Because that makes a lot more sense than believing someone so keenly interested knowing, dissecting, hashing and judging the details of my life would simultaneously prove to be so utterly hopeless at retaining them with any degree of accuracy. •The klonopin were mailed _to_ me, not from me. My friend thought I might toss and turn in the wake of Zu’s death, not realizing that my natural response to grief is to slip into something of a “grief coma” without any chemical assistance at all. It’s being alert and functional that’s challenging. (The book about the Chilean rugby team that ended up eating their friends to survive after crashing in the Andes described how one of the team just crawled to the farthest corner of the plane and pretty much stayed asleep for most of the time they were there. I totally identify with that guy.) I still have 11 of the 12. •Tex the gardener got two .25 Xanax, and did not replace them, but as we know that relationship got very weird. •No one ever used the dog syringes, by the way, which were proffered in response to a request for tranquilizers to help my friend sleep since she expected not to be able to very well, being the reverse of me in that respect. •My dad gave me a handful of Vicodin to deal with the toothache until I got down to ol’ MeHeeKo to see my dentist. Being an invalid as a result of crippling arthritis, he’s got lots of pain meds. •My best pal has hit me up for my little xanax stash a few times, she uses them to help her sleep and has her own prescription, she just comes to me when she hasn’t dealt with making sure she has hers. I always have them because my doc writes as though I take them daily so a single prescription tends to take months to run out. I don’t really like being sleepy and out of it as a way to cope with intense anxiety that I sometimes have to manage, as I just described I’m perfectly capable of checking out like that totally drug free. so I was the one who asked him if I might not actually find it more useful to take beta blockers to deal with intense anxiety instead, and he thought that was a splendid idea. I use Xanax if I have an anxiety issue at normal sleep times or just to help me sleep when it’s a little more difficult, usually because of RLS. I am pretty sure my sisters asked me to scrounge up some kind of tranquilizers for them when our mother died, but I don’t remember one way or another whether it went beyond that. And that’s pretty much my entire drug dealing and abusing career over the last decade or so.The decade before that was far less chemically altered than the decades before and after, not much of anything at all was happening, drugwise, and back in my twenties I still used drugs for entertainment. ---

Here’s the [rule](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=7697048#post7697048): > [@](#): > > Text inside QUOTE tags is sacrosanct. Normal editorial rules apply: that is, you may indicate omitted portions of a quote by the use of ellipses “…” and you may add text to clarify a word using square brackets (e.g., “her [the sister’s] friend”), but you may not add editorial comments or edit a quote so as to change the substantive meaning; nor may you substitute text such as “some blather” or “more nonsense” inside the QUOTE tags. It’s also allowed to do something like: I removed the brackets around QUOTE so that coding didn’t kick in. In the same way, one would indicate “my bolding” or “italics mine” or something like that if one has wished to draw attention to a particular part of the quote. ---
