A Suburban Doctor

A suburban podiatrist was accused of trading prescription drugs for sex. He was sentenced to six years of prison. He was also sentenced to two years probation for illegally videotaping at least two dozen of those sexual encounters, using a camera that he had hidden in a stack of towels. he was arrested last October for illegally eavesdropping after he secretly videotaped his office receptionist changing clothes in his office. That led to an investigation and got him caught up with all the drug and illegal eavesdropping charges being filed against him.

Wow this guy is a total pervert. However I don’t think he should be charged for trading sex for drugs because the women agreed to it. He should’ve just gotten charged for writing out fake prescriptions.  But taping the sexual incidents is totally wrong. However I’m used to hearing crazy stories like these about perverted old men, what gets me though is that these women were that addicted to these drugs to actually have sex with this 64 year old man!

I did some research... Heres the list of the countries with the highest smoking rate. Europe definately has a problem because Japan is the only one on this list that is not European. I was surprised I expected there to be more Asian countries on here...

1. Greece
2. Macedonia
3. Russia
4. Czech Republic
5. Slovenia
6. Spain
7. Japan
8. Ukraine
9. Bulgaria
10. Moldovia

I was reading this article about a man who is being charged for trafficking prescription drugs that belonged to his fiancé. He had a almost full bottle of hydrocodone that belonged to his fiancé in his car, when his car broke down he got out grabbed the pills and walked. Police stopped him when they saw him walking in traffic with a half a cup of beer in his hand. And they found the pills on him.

His wife has terminal liver disease and he didn’t know where his wife was at. Her name was on the bottles and her doctors. I really don’t think he should be getting charged for this, just because he was carrying her pills doesn’t mean he was going to go sell them. And he could get 25 years of prison without parole, that’s too much for a man who really seems innocent to me. It’s not like he was off dealing cocaine. What do you guys think?

There are just too many ignorant parents in this world, and I wish passing a rigid parenting class would be a requirement for all. It won't ever happen probably, but it would be nice. Wow, 12 years old ? That is sickening.


I really dont think a parenting class would make much of a difference, if the parent is careless they are going to stay careless and a class wont change that you know. I think classes will only help good parents become better parents.

I don't want to start taking sleeping pills.  I don't like the idea of taking drugs that can become, well, addictive, yet I need something to help me sleep.

A friend of mine recommended I drink Sweet Dreams Tea by Bigelow, which has a blend of chamomile and hibiscus flowers in it.  I'm not really keen on this, since tea isn't, erm, my cup of tea...but I'm at my wit's end and need something short of having to take Lunesta or Ambien.


Have you tried drinking a warm cup of milk before you to to bed? It calms your body down and helps you sleep, thats why they give it to babys. And its healthy definately non-addictive also.

You cant say god wants you to grow as christians because everyone has different views and they all think god wants them to grow as their religions. I really think that as long as both people have pretty close to the same beliefs and both have faith in God then thats all that really matters, its the other persons belief and you cant change that much. Its what makes the person who they are..
