Story #1: My three year old son and I were sitting in our gated backyard, minding our own business when this twitchy, strange woman wonders into the backyard from the front and says, "I'm going to go now," like I knew who she was and why she was there. I said, "Okaaaay," and she walked back up front. Sadly, I'm pretty familiar with the symptoms of Meth use. The craggy face, bad teeth, low weight and just a general twitchyness. Plus, she just seemed out of it. I think it's really sad that so many people jump willingly into this evil drug's cruel embrace. There's all this information about it out there about its effects and the awful ingredients used to make it. Why are we humans so dumb?

Story #2: I went to Wal-Mart about three weeks ago and the cashier had a perfectly lovely, young girl face but when I looked down at her arms, they were covered in scars and scabs and she had even been playing in the blood of one open sore. She had made it into a star burst pattern. Needless to say, this grossed me the fuck out because she was handling my groceries with her bloody fingers! Ugh!
Story #3: Tonight I was sitting on my front porch with my three year old son when this guy wonders up. At first I seriously thought he was mentally retarded because of the way he was moving his hands (please, don't be offended by this, I mean no disrespect to the mentally handicapped. It was just my impression of his body language). Turns out he was just completely drunk. He was missing his top four front teeth but he couldn't have even been out of his 20's yet. He sat down in my porch chair and started talking to me and my outgoing little boy. The whole time I'm thinking, "How the hell am I going to grab my son and run inside without this guy either possibly chasing us or doing some other crazy random thing." I just didn't want to piss him off. So, we sit with him for a few minutes while he rambles on about needing some wood because he's going camping soon. He wanted to know if my neighbor across the way was "okay." My husband recently chopped a tree down for him so he has a whole bunch of wood sitting in his front yard. I told him to go ask him. He kept saying that he was an alright guy, an okay guy that didn't want any trouble.
He asked me if I had a man inside. Alarms were going off in my head. Like OH MY GOD, he's going to try to rape me! My son kept talking to him so I finally just said, "Okay, bath time!" and picked his screaming self up and took him inside. He had a huge fit because he wanted to talk to the new guy. My poor baby is way too trusting of strangers. We have to work on that.
So, we're inside and I tell my hubby all about it. He thought the guy would leave. Turns out, he went and harassed my neighbor. He told her he would go inside with her if her son wasn't awake. Like she suggested they go fuck or something. She finally told him she had to get her son in bed and he said, "Oh he can stay up a little longer. The other little kid was crying to play with me." So, she went inside and said the guy sat there for another ten minutes and then finally left. He told her he was going to wait for her to come back!
And then, we find out he was chasing our 13 year old neighbor down the street and harassing her and her friend. Total fucking creep!
As I was hearing this, I was thinking I should have ran inside and called the cops but you know what, by the time those fuckers got here he would have been gone. Plus, it's just shocking. I never would have expected that to happen. I don't know if it's because we live down the road from a liquor store or this town is just full of freaks but I've just about had it!
