Why Can’t Pro-Spanking and Anti-Spanking Parents Mind Their Own Business About Each Other?

Question by Rocker61: Why can’t pro-spanking and anti-spanking parents mind their own business about each other?

My eldest son is a successful attorney. My daughter is in Honors at her university, as well as being heavily involved with two organizations which work to curb drug use on college campuses, and my youngest son has won awards for his involvement in Debate Club at school.

Advice for a Non-Typical Forged Prescription Charge in California (Lymes Disease)?

Question by SciFiGuy: Advice for a non-typical Forged Prescription charge in California (Lymes Disease)?
First off we are law abiding people overall, not random dirt bags… Ok, my girlfriend and I live in Massachusetts, she lived in California 2 years ago then moved here. We found out by chance last week that she has an open warrant in Cali for forging prescription drugs. The deal is that she has Lymes Disease, she was desperate for antibiotics and altered a script a few years ago for more refills than they’d give her, as she had to see 3 different Dr.s just to get the Rx in the first place.

How Will I Get to Find Substance Abuse Treatment Centers in Lincolndale, New York?

Question by alicia b: How will I get to find substance abuse treatment centers in Lincolndale, New York?
I need to do this for my friend. Among the two of us, she has always been the more responsible one. She looked after me as if I was her little sister. Ever since her boyfriend broke up with her, though, things changed. I would often find her slumped on her bed whenever I visit her house. She hid it from us, but she has also been indulging in alcoholic beverages as well. I sat beside her all day yesterday. We reminisced and cried, and she finally agreed to get herself treated for her alcohol addiction. This is why I need to find substance abuse treatment centers. Any help will be surely appreciated.
