I kick myself daily for never having tried meth. It’s an action-packed video game inside your head.
Spank that monkey.
Its probably drug related. They always say that its my body and I can do whatever I want with it. But what they do conflicts with the rest of us and that is not right. Either walk the straight and narrow or pay the price. So stupid.
his choices didnt effect anyone who didnt take a job to deal with exactly this type of situation. calm down, youre not a victim. you need to get over that and stop acting like evrything anyone else does has some impact on your life. youre nobody just like everyone else bud.
What! stripping naked and fleeing up a water tower isn’t a logical stress response to your vehicle burning to the ground? If those are tweaker eye’s mason city has a bit of an issue. You only see people with those eyes in a couple place’s in town. North end/North side Liquor, Penn/Monroe ave’s, allover the neighborhood west of the mall…. anywhere near B.G. alot of that area northwest of Newman and the entirety of big blue in the summer… So just a couple places.
