Sometimes crack will boost your mood. But I'm not endorsing crack, I just wanna make that point clear.

Are you high?

Dave, do you have firsthand experience on that?
I would bet that it might boost someone's blood pressure to the point they fell down dead of a heart attack, too, so yeah...

I tried coffee, but think I’ll skip the crack. lol
Many people on wall street do crack and they seem very successful, so it reasonable and logical to assume that crack isn't so bad as the govment portrays it to be.
I think that younger people might be able to do drugs and stay alive, but it causes wear and tear on the heart muscle and I wouldn't advise it for people over 30 who want to live to be 50.

I had one of those days yesterday. I went to all my jobs. I had coffee, tea, three boxes of kleenex to take care of the distracting crud, three types of lotion to handle the disgusting kleenex nose condition, and several extra layers because it was really @#%& cold. But I did not have crack. It did not occur to me to try that. Nonetheless, I got through the day, reported on my tasks, and lived to see another day (which is today).

Dave, I know it seems like Wall Street is on crack, but I think it's coke!
Crack destroys the brain...is that what happened Dave, once it's gone, it;s gone.

When I lived in LA, I volunteered at different film festivals. It was a lot of fun. The LA Film Festival was rather brutal. People came from around the world and volunteered there in the hopes of rubbing elbows with the right person.
I was volunteering in the projection booth for the Shorts. There were 4 other volunteers there with me. One volunteer said she missed out on her last audition because she needed to lose 5 pounds. Another volunteer told her to use crack to drop the weight. If she used it every other day she wouldn't get hooked.
I don't know what happened to the girl. She ran out of the theater so fast. I was too astounded to say anything.

That is said. Just sad.I well know what it is to gain and lose weight, We do not need a quick fix. We need individualized personal tools and possibly the context of a worldwide attitude adjustment.
I am wearing the next size smaller pants today.Huzzah! I did not do crack or other drugs for this. I have the right amount of thyroid medication, work out a little more, and (don't laugh) based upon the number of empty kleenex boxes, I probably shed ten or twelve pounds of crud recently.
I would love to see wild, free, enlightened, jubilant, outrageous, over the top, madcap, bat crap crazy even, celebration of size. In such a world, no one would bother about crack for five pounds for an absurd standard...

This is a rather funny tread, I (as you all know) have been around a looong time, and never been around or offered any drugs, not even pot. I grew up in the 60's, the beginning of drugs in the Haight Ashbury district,
drugs, kids lying in the streets out of their mind....I stayed away from those areas, Dave, are you listening..
why are drugs always on your mind, just asking.....

Because talking about taboo topics makes them less taboo over time. And that's call winning as Charlie sheen calls it.
Seems to me that would eat into your mystery shopping profits quite a bit. Also, it's whack, not wack,
LOL.
LOL.

I remember seeing Whitney Huston (Barbra Walters show), just before her death, saying "Crack is Whack", and she was on it...not a good look!!!

It demystifies them. Here, crack may seem be intriguing, less attractive, and (presumably) less used. Perhaps people will refrain from trying it even just one time. And that would be winning.

Yup, Whitney Houston swore that she didn't use crack and yet she died from using it among other drugs to keep her to exist.

And the saddest thing is that it was easy for her to lie to the public on TV but not so easy to hide it from her family. Kids see and kids do. Her daughter followed the same path.
Sad about Whitey Huston's daughter, had the world to live for, but drugs took her life as well. Really not a smart subject for a Mystery shopping forum....get help Dave.

Respectfully disagreeing. When we can bring substance fascination, use, and abuse into the light of discussion, they are forced out of the dark. It is more difficult for them to hide, in a manner of speaking. This is winning.
It is also potentially sensitive for some people. Those people might end up choosing other threads or topics for themselves. I will not ask DavePi if this is step 12. I know that we and our peeps are not exempt from the large issue and that all persons, potentially, could develop an issue. I take no offense and consider that the cautionary posts might help someone.

I suggest you PM him and give him your insight personally. I see this as a personal problem and needs the right therapy, how can a layman help. Maybe he can watch Intervention for answers or discussion.

LA is the entertainment industry. People need to lose weight in a week to land The Big Role in a TV show or a movie. I dropped two dress sizes by eating less and moving more. It took over a year. People doing auditions don't have that kind of time.
I'm not endorsing crack or any other drug to lose weight. But I do understand why.

Dieting has become a way of life, more for health and staying in sizes 8/10, clothes fitting is important, not because I live in L.A. , because of me. I have found a tip that works most of the time, so if I'm a good girl,
I don't eat after dinner, maybe an apple or yogurt. I splurge at lunch and eat a light dinner, as calories at lunch will be burned off. I just try and maintain, but Wed. (as today) I put on a couple pounds due to my extreme taco tuesday....got to be good to yourself. Will someone invent a pill, please.

It's a way of life for me too, Irene. I limit my calories by practicing portion control. People think "free food" when they land a food shop. I see my waistline paying the price. This is why I space the food shops throughout the month.
