Drug/Alcohol Addictions — Let Us Change Things!
The War on Drugs was a dismal failure! Millions of Dollars were spent/wasted. Dare and other programs.
We can help addicts, if they want that help!
The drug laws have laws where a Judge can not rule with his heart/mind. We need to change this. Too many people are in prison–too long of terms.
I am not talking about Marijuana. Crack, Cocaine, Oxycontin and others. Our Alcohol/Drug Recovery Centers are total failures. And, there are not many rehab centers.
I would like to hear from others, who want to change the system. It is my belief (and I could be wrong), that if men/women worked with addicts –their wives would not be lost. We can not save the world, but we can help make changes.
Hello World! Love. I would also like to hear from everyone inerested in seeking changes in mental health and medications.
Did you know that thousands of people, who are in jail/prisons are mental health, alcohol and drugf addicts. We can change some lives.
Hello World! Love. Charlie
Love! What Goes Around Comes Around — To Me!
Definition of Love:
Strong affection
Warm attachment
Attraction based on sexual desire
Unselfish loyal and concern for others
Feel a passion. devotion
Caress
Take pleasure in
There is a difference between love and sex.
When children are small, it’s easy to see if a child is happy. . Even babies have telltale signs of happiness and unhappiness. Love makes the difference.
Have most of our problems: crime, addictions, poverty, resulted because lack of love?
Wouldn’t it be fantastic if everyone volunteered in hospitals, schools, homeless shelters, mental health facilities? Isn’t that love?
Why are we hesitant in showing/sharing love — or caring for others?

What Is Speed Volunteering? — What Goes Around Comes Around — To Me!
I have heard young people remark, “I do not want to do anything free!”
So, what does speed volunteering do/
When you volunteer services, you will probably never receive a “thank you.” Most volunteers do not want nor expect thanks. When you do something “for nothing,” it is sculpting CHARACTER…
Many senior citizens volunteer for long hours, at a hospital, community center, or elsewhere. This is not always necessary. Speed volunteering requires minutes of r time.
Have you helped an elderly person? Taken someone to the grocery store? Answered a neighbors critical question? There are many things that you can be done
.What have you done—— volunteering and/or speed volunteering?

Love Could Be Answer For Many Problems! –What Goes Around Comes Around– To Me!
Love Could Be Answer For Many Problems! –What Goes Around Comes Around– To Me!
America has many problems – upside down economy, lack of jobs, political upheaval, juvenile gangs, murders, many crimes committed by illegals, adult children killing parents, children killing children. bullying, stupid drug laws, and a costly war on drugs, corrupt politicans. .
Could the lack of love and attention cause these problems? If a child does not receive love, then, there is no one to guide him/her through life.
Why is it that Americans do not share their lives —with homeless people, mental health residents, inter-city families, and others? Are we afraid of those who live in poor areas?
Recently, a group of Cincinnati high school students visited a poor downtown area. One of the kids said, “I didn’t know that these people were like us.”

Many Adults Are Terrible Teachers! What Goes Around Comes Around — to Me!
Many of us are poor teachers!
We should teach children to be creative and critical thinkers.
Children can be taught that they “should know who they are.”
We must make children “independent” “creative” “critical” thinkers.Children and adult children must be taught “to take care of themselves.”
And, a sound, strong support system can help them. Parents, Grandparents, Teachers and Friends.
Oh, yeah —why haven’t schools, families, and others demanded that children be taught money, finances –every school day!

Have You Heard This Story Before? -What Goes Around Comes Around — To Me.
I wrote about the Sins of A Father (who did not pay child support). Now, there was another couple, who thought they were doing right with one year old Burt..
The father and mother married. ages 19. Richard, the father, had a small business (given by his father). They had a house. Grandparents had died and willed money to Richard.
Richard was a womanizer and a drunkard. The couple had separated when Burt was one year old. The Mother screamed, “You will never see this child again.” The wife got the house.
And, Richard never saw Burt again – until Burt was twenty. Burt had a hole in his heart and visited Richard, who had moved to another State and had never paid child support.
Some parents remarry, and the focus is on new children. . That has hurt the displaced child!
I have seen young family breakups many times.Grandparents should not have to raise grandchildren. Sometimes, there are no other resources. But, kids need young people.
Sometimes, there are not answers to problems. No one is perfect.

About Living Alone — Little Things that drive me crazy!
Widowed ten years. Married 51 years.
I never noticed before: useless things: a pair of new shoestrings, ear drops (which I do not use, but should), two “timers” -not sure where they came from, baseball cards and a(marijuana pipe not mine), Da Vinci Code (did not like, so did not finish reading), empty outside wooden bird box, on and on.
But, their are small things that bugs me. I know that older people lose skin –I have noticed small specks on the carpet and bed each day. Not sure if it is dirt, or a flake of . . .
No matter how much I clean that damn carpet, or change sheets on bed, there is always a “speck” –piece of lint, a feather (canary), cake and cookie crumbs, dropped bird seed, empty envelopes (sent by bill collectors), candy wrappers, , empty cereal boxes, and empty medicine bottles,
Excuse me, I must go — just dropped some bird seed on the floor.
Tis not easy for a married man – to live alone . . . . . . .

The Sins Of A Father -What Goes Around Comes Around — To Me!
Several years ago, I met a man, who lived in a homeless shelter.
He said, “I will never pay child support!”
Many child support cases are unfair. And, some women may be evil. But, here are some things he deprived himself from a son:
Watching him play soccer, basketball, football, music and/or art lessons.
Seeing his smiling face over the breakfast table. Or, hovering over him, watching his eyes close in tired sleep. As a teenager, the father will be deprived about giving advice about girls, shaving, driving, education, and about a career goal. Maybe he could have taken walks with his son, or hiking, walking, traveling or watching a late movie.
He won’t be called, “Dad,” and he will lose out on birthdays, weddings, and graduations.
Most of all, he will miss his child as an adult, who may or may not have a healthy life.
Above all, he won’t be called, “Dad.”
Faulty thinking gets us in trouble.
