Your phantom poster, here. Geez I can't keep up. Too many irons in the fire, I guess.
Here's something I learned. One of my best friends is burning out on recreational drugs. Plain old pot. But way too much of it. He had a bad time with alcohol years ago, 3 days in the slammer fixed that. Not a drop since.
Then marijuana crept in a little at a time. Now if he isn't at his job he's stoned. Week ends start with a buzz drive in his car. He can not maintain an intelligent conversation any more. He gets upset when I point out his problem.
He was never Mr Clean but Neanderthals had cleaner caves than his house is now. He never cooks any more, gave up gardening and talks negative about everything. Doesn't trust anyone, never laughs. God. I fear for his wellbeing.
I'm at a loss how to help. I can't turn him in because his relatives are all around the neighborhood, they would know. They are not much better either, but they are not my friends.
Sorry to lay this out but I have to vent.

Things are going well for me. I get a little work now and then. My on-line gift store is making sales, the dog is healthy and my deceased sisters house is clean & on the market. No more trips to NH required, thank you.
Oh, my sister was an accomplished artist in a variety of styles. Her art will get a second life through my store. (Search Pariseau's market). Her enamel on copper items were very nice. This was her best seller as a small dish.
