Dusted Off

Claim: Adolescents have died from huffing cans of Dust Off brand compressed air.

Status: True
===============================
Friends, please don't get caught up in the semantics of this activity's description. Death doesn't give a damn what It's called. But for all others concerned this is indeed "huffing." The "Dust Off" huffing phenomenon is neither new nor brand/product specific. This Urban Legends article also addresses these points. It is a must-read for parents, educators and all people who are committed to helping youth everywhere stay informed and alive.

There are recovery calculators. Then there's this one. What makes it so special? Enter the date your recovery began, then be greeted with a key tag representation of your result. Way cool!

I no longer endorse 12 Step Space. It has become little more than a tool for financial gain at the expense of the 12-step community. And I find it truly disturbing when a site of this nature doesn't program its features to also preserve Tradition 12. Member profiles and blogs now appear in general search engine results. The quasi-anonymity is no longer in effect. Wholesale exploitation of people seeking recovery is inexcusable.

Your Personality Is Like Cocaine




You're dynamic, brilliant, and alluring to those who don't know you.

Hyper and full of energy, you're usually the last one to leave a party.

Sometimes your sharp mind gets the better of you... you're a bit paranoid!

What Drug Is Your Personality Like?

OMFG!!! Even though I've been stark-raving clean & sober since June 11, 1995 this substance still seeps into my personality!?! Oh... Did I mention that I'm bipolar? ;oD

Basic primer on avoiding foods an beverages for those with general cow's milk intolerance. Actual allergy manifests much more severely in an increasing segment of humans, and exposure often requires medical treatment. In pronounced cow's milk allergy symptoms can manifest as subtly as a dermatological rash to as life-threatening as blocked breathing passages. In some individuals cow's milk intake causes a condition called "leaky gut", which can also cause brain damage. Psychological effects in children may include unacceptable behavior. Physical withdrawl from the allergen can present itself in much the same manner of a chemical detox where the afflicted will seek out more of the substance to which he/she is addicted. This review was written by the mom of a child who is severly allergic to cow's milk. However, it is in no way intended to be a substitute for professional medical consultation. A simple, painless test from one's doctor or allergist will easily determine an individual's sensitivity.

Soy-based products are not an ideal replacement as much of the world's soy crops are genetically modified. Other rice, nut, and grain options are increasingly cost-prohibitive for regular consumption. It is interesting to note that this wiki fails to note available dairy goat's milk alternatives.

Place your bets... How long will it be before DUI stops and urinalysis for drug testing includes caffeine?

lab tech #1: "Jesus-H.-Christ! Check out the caffeine levels in this sample. They've blown the curve."

lab tech #2: "No friggin' way. What's the control ID?"

lab tech #1: "fugitive247"

lab tech #2: "Oh, okay. No sweat. Her samples were requested for R&D testing on the spectral analyzers. Looks like she's back in 'Cornholio Mode.'"

Great resource! Now I have a new high-octane quest: Sky Rocket Caffeinated Syrup. Thanks, grudknows!!!

This tale of inebriation is a classic example of "the high cost of low living."
