Train Wreck

Bad Gramma, 

Called my girlfriend and asked what she was doing.  She's trying to find out online how long meth stays in your system.  Her son and a dumbass friend of his decided to shoot meth up their asses using a turkey baster.  You will get higher faster for longer, said Bevis to Butthead.  More than a week has passed and she thinks he is a little off.  Maybe there was a booster shot somewhere in there. 

I laugh because this reminds me of the time I called the department of psychiatry at the U of M to ask how long it takes for a meth addict's pupils to undialate.  My son had been in prison awhile and his pupils were still dialated.  The other end of the line said, "We haven't had much opportunity to study that segment of society." 

Girlfriend went to pick up the dog at her son's house, as he would be working late.  The feds and the police had removed the front door in a most violent way and were tossing the sad little house.  Girlfriend asks what the hell they are doing there.  Someone held up a pipe and some weed.   "You don't know your son is dealing meth?"  She says he's not.  They say they have found a bunch of needles.  She says they were from his ex-wife who stopped by recently to visit the kids. 

The ex-wife is a POS ho bag drug addict who deserted the kids and took off with one of her boyfriends for greener pastures.  The kids think their dad is keeping their mother from them.  She rarely shows up and always brings trouble.  This time she said she was clean and was hoping to get the kids back.  She is probably doing squeal for a deal on some charges she's facing and left the used needles for props. 

The feds told girlfriend she should keep picking the kids up after school.  She asks how they know she does that,  They play back the details of her past week's activities, how she took the kids to Toy's R Us in the cities so they could pick out something for their birthdays.  On Sunday, we were out riding bikes with club members.  We stopped at the Dairy Queen.  We are badass. 

Girlfriend has two other son's, both with new babies.  One son spent a night in jail last week for disorderly conduct at a bar.  The other one is friends with Bevis, and they are often up to no good.  The feds should follow Bevis around for awhile and they will find out who is dealing what and where.  Bevis got a big inheritance, which is making some drug dealers pretty flush these days. 

Most of these kids were raised in good homes, by good people, who set good examples.  In a recent session with the school counselor, girlfriend's grandkids revealed that their dad is on drugs.  Making memories.  There is not much you can do here, but watch the train wreck.
