I've seen the boys twice (Supposed to a third time, and shingles sidelined me, get the shot, shingles suck ass.) I always try to take a few pictures. Here's one my favorites.
I had to be out on the road for work yesterday. This was from my drive through the Jackson marsh. Later, I had to drive through the Horicon marsh, and my dumbass forgot to take a picture. It was eerie.
While searching Amazon for Sour Keys, I came across these.
Listening to Andrew and his sleep kidnapping, it reminded me of Temple Grandin's squeeze machine.
I've been open about my brother's struggles. While discussing him with an uncle, I learned that both my aunt, and my grandma both dealt with similar problems with psychosis. I learned that my grandma was on Haldol for much of the 1970's, and her behavior was a large part of why my grandpa retired when he did (Plus, IBM at that time period had a bad ass retirement package for their engineers, allowing grandpa to retire at 55.)
Anyone find similar in their family history?
I just picked up a copy of "Brave New World," by Aldous Huxley, which I bought because I saw some very timely quotes. It's on lists for scifi prophetic books.
On my prophetic scifi list, which are books I will be reading next:
I know it's a short list, but I have other business, accounting, history, philosophy, psychology, economics, fantasy, scifi political, and a singular smut, books that are already purchased and I want/need to read them as well.
What would you suggest after this?
Hey there, I'm curious how many of our loved ones are mixing prescription drugs with recreational drugs?
For example, my brother is a schizophrenic, has been since early childhood, but he can relatively hold on when he's sober. He's prescribed Adderall, and likes to recreationally uses THC. Within a few days, on regular mixing, his psychosis comes back, often with a vengeance, and he ends up in legal troubles.
I've noticed a similar pattern in several posts, where the family member in psychosis is prescribed a medicine, and and they decide to partake in a recreational drug, often THC. I'm just curious how many others are noticing this.
PS: I'm not picking on THC. I've used it numerous times, and developed some really nasty, near psychosis like thoughts, if had been taking my ADHD prescription, Vyvanse.
Just a picture I took, from my first concert, that I still think is kinda cool.
