I conclude from the fact that you don't believe Rush Limbaugh (who btw called for the death penalty for durg pushers even though he solicited his own maid into becoming one for him) engaged in any of the above criminal activities, that you also believe my saying OJ Simpson is a murderer is just "loose talk"?You should be more careful....you would not want others talking about you that way.... That sounds a teeny bit like... oh...let me think... well, kind of like... what is the word I'm thing of? Oh, but you wouldn't do that, what could I be thinking! Unlike Limbaugh, I have committed no crime, and solicited no one else to commit a crime -- so no one could talk about me like that, JLA. Below is the oxycontin story that I posted last night. It isn't, and has never been, a secret. It began at 4:00 am with my husband rushing me, screaming, to the hospital, where I spent 3 days on a morphine drip. I was sent home with a great deal of oxycontin and Oxyir (oxycontin means continuous release oxycondone, Oxyir means immediate release oxycodone), and a great deal of pain, pain worse than childbirth. (I've had back surgery, and do experience a good deal of pain; but this was a whole new experience.) I'm not a hypocrite like Limbaugh, and I'm not a whining wimp like him, either. I realized, one afternoon, that I had to take the drug to function even before the pain returned. I was not at home, I was working on something at an acquaintance's house, and I couldn't think, and went and took a pill, and while I was still standing at the sink with the glass in my hand, I realized that my back wasn't yet hurting. The next morning I called the Pain Management Specialist. He told my husband and me that I wouldn't die if I stopped taking the pills immediately. So I never took another pill, I did it cold turkey, and it was worse than you can imagine. Message 20151594 So others can "talk about" me in any way they want, JLA. I'm proud of what I did when that nightmare befell me, and of how I did it. I'm not a criminal wussy hypocrite like Rush Limbaugh.
