Honestly some of the anti depressant drugs are nothing more than modern day lobotomies. I have seen these drugs make people walking zombies.

Kinda what I was thinking. Just who thinks to use a hatched to attack people? Unless you are Jason Vorees no one really.

Nah, George Washington.
I was chopping at a tree, and he got too close to me. Clipped the bridge of his nose on a backswing.

He was only about 4 or 5 and his brother was 6 or 7 so he didn’t really know he was going to hurt his brother when he cut his finger off.

He was just doing what his brother told him to do and his brother lost a finger.

When I was in my teens I used have a very vivid dream about something similar happening in our old W-M. Thankfully haven’t had the dream again after they closed that store and opened the crappy Supercenter.


One thing this dream caused was for me to always form a mental plan for defense and offense when I go in a building the first time. I am always aware of what is going on around me. Also do this for possible storms and figure out where most likely to survive in each part of the building.
There is a reason I like carrying a large cross-body purse. ;-`)

I know that a certain number of bad things will happen and can’t be prevented, but I really think that there are improvements that need to be made in mental health laws.

I can think of one improvement that can be made instantly and cost-free: Stop saying meth-heads are "self-medicating." They just want to get effed up, and calling it "self-medicating" is sugar coating it.

Yes, you’re right. I’m thinking”did I say that?” Yes, I said that. Probably the reason is I know that that some people lump illicit drugs in with the prescriptions they may be on, because they hate all drugs, period. I don’t believe that myself, but every time we have one of these really serious episodes, say like Adam Lanza, somebody brings it up and says something like “It’s all these psych drugs that kids and adults are on and maybe have been on nearly all their lives.”
