I am so very sorry I haven't been around for awhile..things have been pretty bad in my family..my mom broke her leg on Sept. 23 & had to have knee replacement surgery recently..it'll take 6 weeks to heal.

Then Sept. 30, my 15 yr. old son-who lives with his father was found by a policeman on a sidewalk passed out.He was taken to the hospital where he was found to have alcohol poisoning!! He had to stay in the hospital a day and a half where he was given potassium & other things through an IV.He is fine now but almost died because he had 3 times the legal limit of alcohol in his system.So I have been really worried about him.

Just wanted to update you all on this..hope to be around a lot more this month..love each of ya..peace.

Mel! Let us know if there is anything we can do. You're in my prayers.
Will your son come to live you, or will he still be living at his dads?

I hope things are geting a little brighter now, I have a love hate relationship with alcohol. I enjoy drinking but fear the results, headaches etc! also as my job relies on being able to drive I have always got to keep my intake on the low side to allow me to attened emergencies as they come in. I am certain that if I had none of these restrictions I would drink much more than is considered a safe amount.
I realy hope he comes through this with you, I think all young people have a craving to pile in the booze, they think its grown up and tough looking, the truth is that to really enjoy a drink it should be done in moderation and in good company. I think this is something we learn with age and experience.

Its a shame that all us friends (here) are so spread across the globe, the UR drinks party would be one to remember
