I have added a donations button to my other blog, The Deprived Investor. I am soliciting funds to add to my investment account to put money aside for investing for my retirement.
The thinking is that if enough folks donate a measly few cents, I could add a decent amount to my investment fund. Do I actually expect anyone to donate? No, not really. But I’m new to this blogging and really kind of experimenting with all sorts of things.
Anyway, consider making a donation, even if you consider it for a millisecond before saying, “Yeah, RIGHT!!!”
Williamson County Sheriff Ricky Headley, the “Singing Sheriff” was arrested on prescription drug fraud charges. He was getting Lortab and Soma, apparently for his own use. (Here’s a link to the story at Tennessean.com)
Ironically, my wife just had Lortab prescribed for pain the other day and took it once. The next day she felt like she had a hangover from it, and could understand why people get addicted to it, because they would want to avoid that painful hangover feeling.
Personally, I feel bad for the guy…he is living with this addiction and his career is likely ruined. I don’t know how the addiction started, but he likely hurt himself somehow and ended up prescibed Lortab, and got hooked. The only addiction I have fought was my addiction to nicotine, but I know addiction is a powerful thing.
Don’t judge him too harshly for this. I believe he is generally a good man who went down the wrong path and will now pay for his mistakes.
