| I think it'd be weird if you don't tell her right away. Or act like you don't remember. Because if she doesn't remember, you'll be wanting to say it, probably. And if she does, and you act like it's slowly coming back to you.. that'd be pretty hard to pull off convincingly, unless you actually were only just remembering it (which you aren't).
You don't have to mention that you had a crush on her or anything. Just go up and say who you are, and that you think you remember her from kindergarden. See if she remembers you, and if she doesn't, just say that she looked familiar, and that you just wanted to say hi. Or something like that. You're less likely to come off as creepy if you're honest. You can omit stuff, but making stuff up.. eh. Not generally a good idea. :< |

I have several. Mostly because I use "stuff" as my generic word for anything I can't think of the proper term for. Like.. Music stuffs, art stuffs, cute stuffs, funny stuffs.. etc. >>
|
I also just have a plain "Stuff" folder. But all of my folders are very organized. :3 Especially now that I just got a new computer to play with. The first that is entirely~ my own. <3 I can organize it however I want.  (And~ I do. :o)

As far as I know, I am the only person in the world who has my last name. :3 .. Probably because it's hyphenated. >> But anyway.

There are 623,935 people in the U.S. with your first name. There are 421,456 people in the U.S. with your 'first' name. (the name I actually go by; actually my middle name >>) There are 230,976 people in the U.S. with your last name. (first half) There are 143,985 people in the U.S. with your last name. (second half) There are 0 people in the U.S. with your last name. One or both of the names you entered were not found in our database. (Yup. Full last name.) There are 0 people in the U.S. with your name. (Edited to be grammatically correct, and such. :<)

I believe that in most rehabilitation centers, or whatever, community involvement is indeed strongly stressed. >> It's a .. technique, I suppose, that works rather well. By making the patient become involved in the community, they achieve a sense of self worth that is often an issue when someone becomes addicted to a substance. More often than not, substances are abused due to lack of self esteem or .. strength of character.
|
Don't take that the wrong way, please. I'm not suggesting that anyone who uses drugs is low on self esteem or whatever. I'm saying people who become severely addicted often are, but certainly not always. I'd rather fund people being rehabilitated and have them move on with their lives than have to suffer for the rest of their life over something as 'small' as possession of a drug like this. If someone commits a crime while under the influence of a drug, fine. But just for the use of it? Seems pretty ridiculous to me. (Not sure if that's actually the case. Meh.) I find it interesting how a question about whether or not you .. smoke up resulted in such a huge blow up by certain people. I think it's interesting to see how defensive people become over an issue like this, one way or the other. And in some cases, rather nasty. >>;; .. Yeah. Anyway. I've tried it. Mostly because there was so much hype about how horrible it is, and blahblahblah. I'd rather form my own opinions. I would never, ever consider making it a large part of my life, but I can see why people enjoy it. What I found is that while it's the common assumption that marijuana makes you a complete .. lump, it depends entirely on the person who consumes it, just like alcohol. You can concentrate just fine if you want to. Sure, it's more pleasant just to sit and enjoy it, but it isn't as though you can't function at all if you have too much, unlike alcohol and other many other drugs. I'd agree that large amounts of marijuana is less harmful than large doses of pain killers like tylenol or advil. Then again, I've never .. over consumed on either. So meh. I laugh at those anti-drug commercials now. Really, they're just so ridiculously wrong. There may be some people who react like that, but I'd have to say the vast majority.. don't. I always wondered why we were always told that it's awful and terrible and whatever, when I was seeing people at school all the time who were definitely high, but had no problems with school and whatever. Sure, there were an occasional few who didn't have any motivation to begin with and they didn't do well, but that's more to do with their personality in general. [Edit #2: Weed affects how you perceive things, not your ability to reason and such.] Basically, I think that, just like with everything else, small amounts of the stuff isn't a horrible thing. Over indulging in anything isn't good for you. And if alcohol and smoking can be legal, I don't see why marijuana isn't. Either of those other two have results that are decidedly more deadly. Keep in mind that I'm talking about individual use here. I'm not getting into issues with drug dealers and .. whatever. If it were legal, maybe there wouldn't be as many problems with such things. But ah well. Not like that's going to change here any time soon. Edit: Originally posted by SilvershieldGoing back and reading that.. well. I have to say that I know several people that use painkillers to get high. Just read the thread about getting your wisdom teeth removed. >>; So saying that they cannot produce a result like that.. is false. I don't mean to single that quote out, but there's just too much to read here. And most of it has been replied to anyway. :< But that made me chuckle a bit. (I'm also chuckling at the first line of that quote, considering. But anyway. >>) << (edited by Aiya on 11-14-06 09:14 PM) (edited by Aiya on 11-15-06 02:56 AM)

You did say 'the like', sir. So perhaps not quite as clearly as you think. Other 'simple' drugs can cause some side effects like those of 'serious' prescription drugs.
|
And I did read the whole thread/discussion, thank you. I just didn't choose to comment on all of it individually. Maybe I should edit my post to say 'but there's too much to reply to here' instead of 'too much to read.' >> But saying here should suffice, I hope. Noone had said anything mentioning the side effects of other drugs that are usually taken for medicinal purposes, so I just thought I would.

I was adopted by my stepdad when I was 14. I know it's not quite the same situation as you are in, but I think I may understand how you're feeling, to a small extent.
|
My situation: My stepdad and my mom have been married since I was one. I've never really gotten to know my dad much at all, because he's a very.. quiet person. Intensely private, and such. It didn't help that he lived roughly 4 hours away from where I lived growing up, and that he never wanted to make the time to come see me, and often wasn't around when I'd go down to visit him and my grandparents. He smokes, and it's taking a hard tole on his health. It's been really hard for me to accept that he doesn't really want me to be a big part of his life. Harder still when I know my older brother communicates easily with him, often. But my brother lived with him for a while when he was a teenager, so I guess they formed a stronger bond than I'll ever be given a chance to form with him. I've tried, but my dad doesn't seem to be open to the idea. I don't know if that will ever change. My stepdad has basically been my father since I was a wee one. It made sense to me when he adopted me, even if we weren't really getting along very well when it happened. Differences in personality, and such. I knew I might not be happy with him at the time, but that he had always been there for me when I needed him to be, and that that wouldn't ever change. I made the decision, worried about what my dad would think, but never actually talked to him about it. He just signed the papers and didn't say anything, as usual. *shrug* =/ I was young when I made the choice, but I haven't regretted it yet. If you don't mind my asking, how old were you when you were adopted? It sounds to me like you're not angry about your mother's decision to have your sister and yourself put up for adoption, which I think is admirable. If you have a chance to get to know your blood relatives, give it a try. You don't [Edit: Oh dear, I can't believe I left that word out. ><] have to decide which 'family' you love more, or whatever. You (might?) have the chance to have a relationship with both, and I think that's pretty awesome. You mentioned that your father is dying due to something related to alcoholism. Do you know what that is? Or just a general knowledge of the fact that he's dying? That must be really, really tough to deal with, either way.. I hope you realize that it's not your fault. (I say this because you mentioned that it was because of his depression over losing you and your sister.) =/ And yeah, this topic is indeed fine in the Officer's Club. heheh (edited by Aiya on 11-15-06 05:27 PM)

Considering that weed is what this thread is supposed to be about, it's not hard to make the assumption. >>

And actually, I was expanding slightly and thinking any simple drugs. (edited by Aiya on 11-15-06 03:19 AM) (edited by Aiya on 11-15-06 03:20 AM)

Originally posted by Silvershield Sounds to me like he's comparing them, but not saying they are exactly the same. Saying every drug has an effect on your system is true. Whether that effect is negative or not is a different matter. Note, though, that OTCs can have a negative effect on your body. Drowsiness, upset stomach, etc. It all depends on how your body reacts. They may not be the same, but you can still make comparisons to see the differences and similarities. A drug is a drug, even if one is considered to have more 'negative' effects than another.

Those little plastic tubes filled with coloured, flavoured sugar. |

I think they're probably referring to the fact that you're using moving smilies that aren't forum default. The movement and such gets annoying after a while. >>
