A Clever Way To Remember Your Password Isn’t it?

@TexChik reminded me of Breaking Bad

@cherokeepatti yes . That one was difficult to watch .

@TexChik I didn’t watch it till the last couple seasons and got hooked on it.

@cherokeepatti My parents tried cooking meth , got addicted , and my father morphed into some grotesque evil violent bastard . He loved hurting and torturing me . When he tried using me for a sex doll i ran to the farm of the people who were nice to me ( at 11) and became my adoptive parents.

@TexChik yeah that show would bring back bad memories, not entertaining for you. But it did give some insight on how these people are getting away with selling and trafficking it. The nicest smoothest talking people can be running an operation like that many who had a restaurant. He would donate food at the hospital when an officer got shot for example to keep his image going. There was a lot in that show that I picked up on.

@cherokeepatti

Good catch. Actor Giancarlo Esposito's character Gus Fring was using his restaurant to launder his money.

@cherokeepatti They (my parents) were farmers with hot houses, barns, and the ability to get the chemicals they needed legally.

@TexChik yeah common in Oklahoma in farm country especially with oil wells around National Geographic did a documentary about the link to oil drilling and high rates of meth addiction. Guys right out of high school can make more money than they know what to do with. They’ll use meth to stay awake on their weeks of work during long shifts and get addicted. Come home for awhile between work schedules and have free time and crave it and end up partying with friends. Young teens start sneaking out of the houses t night after parents are asleep and start partying with them and get addicted.

@cherokeepatti Meth was an otc drug back in the day. Germany gave it to their troops so they could fight harder on less sleep. It also accounts for the babarism and cruelty they inflicted on their enemies.

@TexChik yeah knew that. Did your parents farm go to hell after he got addicted? I have seen a meth car at the car lot that got repoed. There was nothing left to salvage at all. Lights busted, windows cracked, tires down to the wires, door handles inside broken, transmission and motor shot cleaned it out and found ll kinds of goodies to make meth inreceipts and disposed of those the car got towed to the scrap car place.

@cherokeepatti He had a guy that rented the land to grow cotton while he grew pot and cooked meth. The house was a shit hole, I can't remember taking a bath after they started that stuff. The night I was raped, momma (adoptive) put me in the tub and shaved my head with an electric trimmer. I had a matted ball of crap on my head and lice. She cried the entire time because of all the scars I had from my abuse and the bleeding from my rape. Daddy drove over there and stopped him with the butt of his shotgun, and the sheriff arrested what was left. He died in prison for drug trafficking; my mother died from drug-induced dementia in a nursing home. The government usually seizes the property on which crimes are committed. The judge ordered that the property be put in a trust for me managed by my adoptive parents. And any proceeds from its rental or sale were mine. Daddy and I burned the house down and had it dozed up and erased. Someone bought the hot houses and took them away. There were 2 pivots and 3 wells. Daddy didnt want to farm it (way too much work for an older man) so we rented it until I got an offer my parents said was good...and I sold it.

@TexChik You went through hell and that couple that adopted you made your life like heaven. Burning that house down was probably therapeutic for you wasn’t it?

@cherokeepatti I lit the match. Kerosine does a great job and doesn't flash explode like gasoline. The sheriff was there too

@TexChik That house wasn’t worth rehabbing anyway after meth was cooked there

@cherokeepatti Nope. After it was all gone and the ground smoothed over, I walked back over there and saw cotton growing where it had stood. Nothing looked the same and I finally felt free of it.

@TexChik it wasn’t haunting you any more

@cherokeepatti PTSD has a way of making sure that will always happen, but to see all of that evil gone...made me feel good.

@TexChik I am very sorry to read this
