percoset and/or alcohol

[Julie]

I have just discovered the fact that my 17 yr old teen recently tried percoset.  I know it is his intention to take the drug again and in conjunction w/ alcohol.  He is not aware that I know.  How long does the drug stay in one's system?  Can we, as parents, buy a drug test to randomly give him?  How dangerous is this drug?  How can we tell if he is under the influence?

Hey Lady!  Nice to hear from you.  I need to run and check on baby and some soup on the stove.  Be back soon.  Lot's to tell you.  I am kindof backsliding.  Help.  Talk soon. Neena

It is late here about 10:30. Yes my mother-inlaw lives with u s. we bought a house big enouph for all of us. She stays down stairs and we live up. She is very hard to deal with. She tells the same stories over and over. I was thinking of a way to slip her one of my drugs for the trip(just kiding). Talk to you later the car is all packed and I am going to bed. I will check to see if you posted in the morning.

With your Mother in Law from your home to the Carolinas?  Your a good man, no matter what.  I can't even ride with my own mom in a car across town...my husband would strangle her. he he.  Maybe the change in scenery will help.  I've never been to the Bahamas.  I bet it is beautiful, although, I prefer the mountains.  We used to own some land in Northern New Mexico, but sold it for triple the price we bought it for.  Now I wish we still owned it.  I could use a mountian to sit on, right about now.  It is not far from Los Alamos, in the Jemenez mountains.  That dream faded with many others. My hubby is an attorney and we are supposed to be "rich", but we arent'.  We have to watch every penny.  Since we've only been married about two years, I am still getting used to someone else telling me how to spend my money and I sure miss my job and having that kind of independence.  What are we escaping from?  For me it's many things.  My poor therapist knows.  But, all of that is still no excuse for drug abuse and alcohol abuse.  I need to stop drinking beer too.  I wish I could stop everything.  You're in Maine, right?  Must be late there, as it's 830 here.  What time does your trek begin tomorrow?  How long is the first day drive?  Did you have your car checked out?  he he.  I sound like my dad.  My Tahoe needs a checkup, that reminds me.  What do you drive?  I'd like to buy an old VW and rebuild it and have it to "play in".  Well, I gotta run and put Em down for the night.  I'll check back before, I go to bed.   If I don't talk to you, God Speed.  Neena

We are going with my motherinlaw who cant fly so I am for the first time in my life going to drive. I hate even thinking about it. We will go to SC first then after a few days to FT Lauderdale and catch a flight from there to Freeport Bahamas. I know what you mean some times are harder than others. I love the time I am clean things do look better. Why is it we keep going back. Is it just an excape? Excape from what? who knows. I am sure I will have fun I love to scuba dive and I plan on doing that the hole time. So I will talk to you later. I will check this site one more time befor I go to bed. So feel free to Write.

Take care Neena: John B.
