Do the legalities of the situation come into play? How much? I think i could defend that any sort of drug use is like a crutch, but then a lot of things can be fashioned that way. What becomes abuse? Or am I way off...

kittiepaws Hmm, not necessarily. I think that there's probably a combined situation with chemical imbalances and psychological ones. They can sometimes go hand in hand. In actuality, to treat a chemical imbalance, you usually seek the aid of a psychologist anyway, so if...

kittiepaws Okay...you've got my mind spinning again with thoughts. First of all....I will say this: Some people have an addictive personality. Meaning that they are more susceptible to becoming addictive to certain things they try, things they do, or activities they get...

My son was bitten by a neighbors dog at the end of our block on the last day of March. The dog drew blood. After reporting the incident the owner was given a "Dog at Large" citation and the dog was quarantined for 10 days. The...

kittiepaws What makes me mad is that this man thinks he doesn't have to follow the law. He's of Minnonite religion and owns a processing plant (butchering animals). His plant is at the end of our block. My husband worked for him years ago. When my husband worked there,...

kittiepaws After the neighbor cussed at my son and accused him of lying about the dog I had a good friend who is a neighbor come over while I took the pictures of the bite. It was two days after the bite, but I got a picture none the less. Each tooth mark had almost...

This week I was talking with a new mother. The baby girl was only two weeks old and she had her ears pierced. I have no knowledge of any medical reasons against this practice, but to me it seems so unreal and unnecessary. A...

kittiepaws I had my daughter's ears pierced when she was about 8 months old. I did this because I figured it would be less painful in the long run to do it while she was little than to do it when she was older. Babies don't tend to mess with the ears during the "healing"...

kittiepaws Boy, do I feel like I've just gotten a vision of what life is going to be like for me in a few years. My son will be 11 in June and though he isn't ADHD or ODD, he is very "high strung". He is always pretending to fall or acting things out (from television)...

kittiepaws Ok, first let me reflect here that on my earlier post I was not meaning to indicate that I was okay with people covering up their probelms through the use of drugs or alchohol. Your question was "Is there a difference between drug use and abuse." My answer to...

kittiepaws Your welcome. Sorry neglected to mention the fact that, yes drugs are illegal. I don't understand why they don't prosecute a mother after giving birth to a baby that's obviously addicted to drugs when they're born. I mean what other evidence do you need of...

kittiepaws I agree with the other comments. You should probably report the activity, juuust in case they don't know what's going on. Tell them that you suspect there's drug activity going on but you haven't actually seen it. Next time they are throwing a party and...

kittiepaws To me, drug use...is simply that. You use a drug to fix a problem whether it's over the counter and legal or illegal. People using illegal drugs are using them for the same reason people use alcohol or aspirin/ibuprophen. To dull the pain in their life whether...

kittiepaws I think it's wrong that she could take so little care of herself and unborn baby. Should she be prosecuted? Perhaps she should but under current law, since alcohol is legal for anyone over the age of 21 and since abortion is legal in most states, it would be...

kittiepaws Some people have never woke up to realize what prayer really is. Prayer is CONVERSATION WITH GOD. You speak to him like you would your mom, dad, spouse (just as you mentioned) and then you allow God to talk back. His answers to you will come in many ways. A...

kittiepaws Very good for you! Just keep focusing on that! You don't have to be in a hurry to choose what denomination you want to be. Shoot, it would take forever to learn what all the denominations different doctrines (statements of beliefs) are. If I were you, I'd find...

kittiepaws Most Protestant religions consider someone saved when they have prayed a prayer and asked Christ to come into their heart (or life), admitted that they are a sinner and asked God to cleanse them from that sin. This is what she means when she says "accept Jesus...
