My boss made a comment one day about me and the fact that I take the medication and it affects my judgment and my emails. He said that motor skills are affected and that people who are afraid to drive are going to be a problem at work. I had asked to work at home due to taking the pain medication and I told him I was concerned about driving after taking them. He thinks I am afraid because I am affected by the pills. Since I take them at 5:30pm each evening and do not take anything every morning until after arriving at work I do not think that I have a problem. My fear was due to it being illegal just like it is when you are drinking and if I got in an accident that may or may not be my fault the pill that I took the evening before would still be in system and I could end up in jail. Before I started taking the medication I fell asleep at the wheel and ran into the curb while traveling 45 miles per hour. It broke my hub cap into pieces. I had to replace the tire recently because it had a slow leak since the accident which was some time ago. The tire finally got worse and was almost completely flat. Thankfully someone at my work noticed the flat tire and called someone back in the building and that person emailed me that I had the flat.
I am glad that you got the Christmas card. I have another one and I know it is after Christmas but I will send it anyway. I understand all too well how you feel about family. I rarely hear from our uncle in Kentucky and the one person who loved both of us unconditionally passed on. I sent an email to that uncle about not hearing from him for a while and he has not responded. I recently made up with my sister. She moved closer to me and we were able to go out for dinner together twice. I missed a call from her today because my cell phone battery was dead and I was trying to get the kitchen in order. I will call her tomorrow. I am not sure what happened recently. I have sought solitude for years and had no problem staying in my house for days. The only contact outside was people that I work with. I did not realize that my withdrawal was obvious at work because I keep these personal feelings and actions to myself. The review that I got recently was the worst I have ever gotten for my work. A lot of that has to do with pain medication that I take for back pain. Some days I take half a tablet and I add some otc to it to increase the effectiveness. I would like a comment from you about my posts which I hope you are getting. Do I write like I am on drugs? Do my posts make sense to you? He said he has seen others take medications and have issues. He says it is affecting my work.
I am not an attorney but I downloaded and save the document. I am not sure who to email it to. Do you have specific attorney email addresses or do you just want it sent to several in hopes someone will help with it? I love you and miss you Jeremy. Your family supporter from the day you were born until now.
Dear Scot, I just found your blog and would love to start a correspondence with you. It has been so long since we were teens, yet some things are so clear?I love to read, also. I am a voracious reader, I think I transferred addictions is what I really did.
Two years ago I bought an electronic reader that connects to Amazon books online. They are truly making an impact on bookstores and libraries. Many bookstore chains have been closing down, and now libraries have started it where you can check out ebooks from them. It is also making it very easy for writers to put out their own stories without a publisher. I don't suppose you could be allowed an ereader?
I am still living in Portland where Carlton and I moved to when I got pregnant with my second child, Chelsea. Chad my oldest is 21 and Chelsea is 20. She in turn made me a Grandma 3 years ago. A bit too soon but, I love it.
It has been 14 years since Carlton passed away from cancer. I wonder what he would have thought about being a Grandpa so soon, lol. When he was ill and doing chemo, I really thought we would get through it. He was so demanding when he was sick and grouchy. One day he asked for some tea while I was doing a mosaic project and I said, "Sure in a minute"...and he promptly called me an, "Arts and craft bitch" I still giggle about that line when I do anything artsy. Your facebook page has a whole section filled with your art. I can't wait to go back and pour over it all. I am looking forward to catching up with you. xoxo, your old friend Macy
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. Your story really fascinated me...what an inspiration you are! I admire your strength and your creativity in facilitating inmates groups!
Reading your words has made me desire to do something that could help! It shook me, I will try to find a way to take action! (I am Italian, so it's not as easy as it would be for an american person!)
Keep on writing!!
It was a pleasure to transcribe your well written and very interesting post!
continued...n"(One child) referred to what (Tayler Riker) said or what (Tayler Riker) wrote," said Schacht, a professor at East Tennessee State University. "There is TREMENDOUS confusion about what the child personally experienced and what she read about."
Riker's former wife, Tayler Riker, and children he lived with testified earlier this week about his punishments, beatings and alleged sexual abuse and misconduct they endured while living with him in Wisconsin from Nov. 3, 2009, to Nov. 10, 2009, and in Utah prior to moving to Wind Lake.
Riker is charged with more than a dozen counts, which include charges of first-degree recklessly endangering safety; possession of a firearm by a felon; possession of a short-barreled rifle; sexual assault of a child; first-degree sexual assault of a child younger than 13; battery; strangulation and suffocation; child abuse; and causing mental harm to a child. If convicted of every charge, he faces up to 168 1/2 years behind bars.
"I do NOT believe (Sean Riker) caused either daughter significant or substantial harm. Going into the marriage , the children were on pretty shaky ground to begin with," forensic psychologist Michael Kula testified.
Tayler Riker testified Wednesday that she met Riker while he still was in federal prison. She said she married Sean Riker in 2006, immediately after his release from prison. They then had a daughter and son.
Racine County prosecutors have said Sean Riker had connections with a Nazi motorcycle gang and the Aryan Brotherhood.
Kula said one child told the prosecution psychologist that Riker "‘when in jail, makes me nervous when he comes home'" and that "she found him as a mean person." Kula never met nor interviewed the girls, but said he reviewed the initial psychologist's notes and file.
But during cross-examination by Assistant District Attorney Patricia Hanson, Kula admitted that one method he used to determine if a child was sexually abused was their responses to being shown a series of ink blots.
The trial is set to continue Friday morning at the Law Enforcement Center, 717 Wisconsin Ave
