People are strange. Why would someone get upset because they are allergic to opiates but your husband was not? Ridiculous! I turned out to be horribly allergic to Oxycontin but that didn’t make me want to stop others from it’s obvious benefits, lol! I just wondered how poor Rush got addicted to this stuff. It’s pretty obvious: he wasn’t allergic to it.
Maybe I should give up eating peanuts. After all, there is some little kid out there who gets sick at the sight of them.

People ARE strange, YES!!
You are a mature person, wishing the best for others. You were obviously brought up with some good morals, maybe even Christian morals.

As for Rush, who KNOWS what he has gone through. I bet his medical file is as big as an urban phone book. Poor Rush, NOT good to have to deal with pain. It's a real soul killer.

I'm on Weight Watchers now so peanuts, ALL nuts, aren't on the 'simple start' plan. On this "simple start" plan there are no points to count nor are there any portions. I can eat til I pop. It does work, as I get on the scale every week and hear good news. For my daily points of indulgence I spend on a little helping (one little carton) of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. :o) Yummers!

I’ve been doing Weight Watchers, too. On line - only 26 points. It does work, however. I sneak in peanuts with my...ahem...one adult beverage every night.

I think Rush had terrible back pain. That’s one of the worst pains in the world!!! Then to have that horrible thing with his heart - horrendous. It must be the stress that gives him the occasional bouts of bad health.
