Michael/ Lauren civil trial update February 9

So what’s the point of your post, to act like somehow you’re above knowing men like this?

Did Nick mistake Magic Mike dance scenes for GP level riding?

Well, keep in mind, he’s publicly referred to her as his employer.

I imagine a bigger issue is what pain meds you can safely and effectively give an addict, whether an active user or on suboxone methadone etc. All the heavy hitter pain meds are opiate in some form. When I broke my arm really badly it was morphine right away and then down the ketamine wormhole while they set the arm and did the plaster cast.

I don’t know how long suboxone is active. I know our local junkies seem to turn up daily at the side counter in the pharmacy to drink their methadone under supervision.

Um. Wow.

Let me remind you of the conversation and how it started.

All I said is typically do not encounter men who find leeching off women, like Robert Guy Goodwin/Jim E Stark/Superman does, to be a positive thing.

I am sorry you find this offensive.
I am sorry that the men in your world make you so negative about them.

Of course there are some men who do this in the world. And there are some women in the world that do this. My general experience is that I do not encounter men (or women) who do this leeching thing.

I KNOW. It’s so confusing… right?

I’m torn on how to explain this.

Part of me thinks it might be a simple oversight on @CurrentlyHorseless ‘s part. She might have forgotten IM’s original remarks simply because any and all mob talk makes her so nervous, and she gets clutchy clutchy with her pearls, then reverts to ‘humorless scold mode’

But another part of me is a little suspicious. And I think @CurrentlyHorseless might be trying to do this weird thing where they accuse us of something bad, when really it’s their own associates who started the nonsense, and then sit back and keep on poking at us when we get frustrated by this, and criticize us for getting defensive about their unfair accusations and characterizations… I’m trying to remember the term for this sort of thing… give me a minute… it’ll come.

Anyways, I’m sort of suspicious CH might be doing that. But it would be TERRIBLE of me to accuse her of something like that. So I won’t.

I certainly know couples where the woman out earns the man. But I don’t know any middle aged trust fund junkies, so no idea what’s the norm there.

And I worked in law as an officer/court clerk so majority were unfemale.

I spoke of us on a hamster wheel earlier.

So someone uses suboxone to stave off cravings.
But then is in the icu, in an induced coma for three weeks… Are they still likely to need the suboxone after that?
Wouldn’t those three weeks, in an induced coma, serve as a form of detox?

Uh, yes.

Yes, and no. Yes they would detox, but not all addictions are easy to kick like that. Also, it would be compounded by the legal pain medicines being given that are in the same class as many of the addictive substances.

But the hamster wheel implies that they have some sort of power over others.

And they don’t. :wink:

Proud??? Seriously? What a very strange choice of word!

I can promise I would be pleased to be associated with this likes of the company you put me in! You very rattled for some reason! Wow.

I am proud to be a member of the Elderly Bathrobe Mob.
In my opinion I believe the MOB in this instance is like the MOB like in Australia Mystery/Crime TV. Such as in the Mystery Road series/shows.
Mob
(https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Australian_Aboriginal_English&action=edit&section=20)]

Colloquially used to mean a group of Aboriginal people associated with an extended family group, clan group or wider community group, from a particular place or “Country”. It is used to connect and identify the person and where they are from. “My mob” means my people, or extended family.

I am very fond or Aaron Pedersen/Jay Swan and Australia TV series. So much like good BBC series.

Could the MOB please quit replying to CH?
It changes nothing and makes me wade thru so much I cannot see because I have her on ignore. Thank you in advance. Clipper

I have to admit to being honored to be taking up so much room in @CurrentlyHorseless’s mind. She certainly does enjoy invoking my name frequently.

I can’t say there is anything I’ve said on these threads all these years that I’m ashamed of, but I have the confidence of knowing what I am talking about - that comes with age, experience and respect @CurrentlyHorseless. You’ve got a lot to learn about people.
