Freak’n meth-heads.

[Radar Chief]

Screw’n chit up for everybody. :cuss:
Sorry to rant, but I’m still a little shocked over this one.

One of the products the company I work for makes uses an Olympus camera to snap pictures of the vehicle being tracked, I’ve attached a photo of this to a post here before. Recently Olympus quit selling their battery charger as part of the package we purchase and because of the expense of buying it separately it’s been decided to shop elsewhere. So yesterday I am tasked with going to Wal-Mart to purchase 20 battery chargers and 20 packs of Nickel Metal Hydride batteries for a shipment of units leaving that day.
Well, when I went to check out I was informed that I could only by four packs of batteries at a time. Turns out it’s a result of recent legislation because meth-heads are buying large quantities of batteries and taking them apart for cooking up there drug.

After I got over the shock of only being able to buy so many batteries at one time I thought, just how desperate ya gotta be for a buzz to put freak’n battery acid into your body? :shake:
Can anyone explain this chit to me? :shrug:

[chiefs4me]

No I can't explain it. But it pisses me off that I can't buy more then 3 boxes of cold medicine at the store because of these meth heads. Why can't they just smoke pot or drink beer.........

[HC_Chief]

Meth heads are definitely dumbasses of the first degree. Might as well snort Clorox or mainline bleach.

[Saulbadguy]

I thought it was only Lithium batteries.

I worked at Batteries Plus, a retail battery sales store, and we were told to report anyone buying large amounts (more than 20) of Lithium batteries (not coin cells). We wouldn't refuse sale.

[Bwana]

They are real gems indeed. If you ever get any of the useless bastages in your area, birdbombs seem to work well. :evil:

[Otter]

What puzzles me is why the Goverment is worried about people who want to stick batteries up thier nose. Hell, I'll grind them up for 'em and watch them snort it for kicks.

[NewChief]

No I can't explain it. But it pisses me off that I can't buy more then 3 boxes of cold medicine at the store because of these meth heads. Why can't they just smoke pot or drink beer.........

Why do you need more than 3 boxes of cold medicine, just out of curiousity?

[Saulbadguy]

Why do you need more than 3 boxes of cold medicine, just out of curiousity?
Duh. To make meth.

[Lzen]

Yeah, that is screwed up. I bought a can of air (or I guess it's CO2) at Walmart a couple weeks ago. They had to check ID. I was like "WTF?" Apparently, if you try to purchase more than 2, they will refuse the sale and have security escort you out of the store. :shake: The cashier told me that kids are sniffing this to get a cheap high. But there are a lot of kids that turn into vegetables by doing this.

I’ve heard of them taking apart Lithium batteries for the Lithium but never heard of using NiMH before, much less legislation for it.

[Saulbadguy]

I don't think its a law. I think its a Wal-Mart thing. Remember, Wal-Mart is the place you can't buy a cd with "dirty words" on it. It wouldn't surpise me if this is a Wal-Mart only thing.

[Phobia]

I think they should stop selling hammers. You can really hurt yourself with one of those things.

3 kids all different ages, if we get sick then I can't use the same meds I use for the 18 year old for the 3 year old. Most boxes only have 12 pills anyway.....so if we all took 2 each then 1 box is gone in a day. What about the next day. Colds usually last a week. Beside sometimes it is on sell and i want to have it on hand.......Does that answer your question.

[Saulbadguy]

Yup. I bet the person you working with is FOS, or stupid. Or both. I think Wal-Mart is behind it too. They have good prices, but they are a very..uh..uptight with their "moralities".

They can't get beer. They can buy paint and other huffing supplies.

They don't have these stupid social issues in Europe where kids can get beer. My theory is the more you restrict kids the more they will rebel. I kinda know that one from experience....

I agree. But then again, if they turn themselves into vegetables, who ends up paying to care for them? We all do as taxpayers. That's the messed up part about it. Whoever came up with sniffing paint/glue/CO2 should be shot in the head.

May be part of it. When I was in high school the legal drinking age was 18, so we never had a problem getting beer. Maybe that’s why we never thought of snorting freak’n battery acid. :hmmm:

[yunghungwell]

Many stores are having to put Enfamil baby formula behind a counter because of its pure white color. The meth makers use it to cut a batch of meth in order to make it stretch farther. Of course, Wal-Mart has every kind of baby formula behind a counter and the derelicts that Wal-Mart employs can't tell the effin' difference in the kinds of formulas. Fock Wallyworld, Target is cheaper anyway.

[mikey23545]

You must have Targets with entirely different price structures where you live.

[yunghungwell]

Target is only cheaper on the specific formula that my "old lady" decided to use. Everything else under the sun, cheaper at Wal-Mart.

Pork rinds don't kill people. Fried pig fat does.

[Radar Chief]

Who is the "they" you're referring to? In Phoenix they use cameras to ticket speeders as well. Not sure when it started... I moved in AZ in Jan 2001 and it was already in place then.

Really, I hadn’t heard of that.
Know anyone that’s gotten a speeding ticket in the mail?
As far as I knew an officer had to be present to hand a ticket to you and get your signature. Sometimes that ticket goes to court with the photo attached, relieving the officer from having to show up, but that’s not necessarily the case all over the US either.

[Iowanian]

There are ALOT of products restricted due to meth manufacturing.

Go to your hardware store and try to buy some acid to refinish a bathtub. Buy a case of Ether or a couple gallons of paint thinner. Farmers whose Anahydrous tank lines get cut are sure big fans too.

What gets me is the "creativity" and chemistry used by some of the absolute morons who make the stuff.

One of my HS friends has been in and out of trouble with this crap since...Clean for the last 2 years, and I kind of believe him this time.

The Bad part about the Infamil, is that most of the Formula being used, is gotten through WIC and other welfare programs..........and instead of being used to nourish the neglected child........It cuts the Dope so they can make a little extra cash. I LOVE my tax dollars being used for that.

He told me of a process with a cattle water tank, electricity charged through a coil around a metal rod, and Stolen Cattle Salt Blocks to get some of the ingredients if they take Cold pills off the market.

Who knew you could get Effidrine? from a salt block?

Some of those guys should be working for a cure for Cancer, instead of a new way to make that dope.

[Radar Chief]

Yes.

:hmmm: I’ll have to contact our salesman for the area. Most of the cams we’re selling are going overseas, and if it’s legal in AZ we’re missing out on a pretty good-sized market.
Think the weasely fugger would share some of his commission with me? :rolleyes:

Damn you people.




On a related note, if anyone remembers the story about the rapist that was running rampant through my neighborhood, there are two potential updates.

First, they found a woman's body in an apartment last night two blocks from the vacant apartment that this guy had broken into and was hiding in. (This is four blocks from my house.) No word yet on whether he killed her, but I sure bet that's what happened. They caught him two weeks ago, but this woman hadn't been seen in longer than that, and the neighbors just thought she was on vacation. (Let me say once again that my neighborhood has a low crime rate except for this lunatic.)

Second, they posted a big, long story about what this guy was doing during the seven months between the time he got out of prison and being caught two weeks ago. Once he got out, he lived at a guy's house in another nearby city to Denver, and picked up the woman across the street as his girlfriend. She had two young sons, one of whom he molested, but the key part of that story is that he gave the kid a bike as a gift. I'll bet he stole my bike.

[Radar Chief]

Farmers whose Anahydrous tank lines get cut are sure big fans too.

That ain’t no chit. The problems gotten so bad around here that one of the sheriff’s set up a decoy anhydrous tank to catch the fuggers in the process.

[KC Kings]

3 kids all different ages, if we get sick then I can't use the same meds I use for the 18 year old for the 3 year old. Most boxes only have 12 pills anyway.....so if we all took 2 each then 1 box is gone in a day. What about the next day. Colds usually last a week. Beside sometimes it is on sell and i want to have it on hand.......Does that answer your question.

Runny nose cold and a cough cold are two different medicines. Throw in an ear infection and you alternate ibuprofin and tylenol. I have taken plenty of late night trips to the 24 hour drug store to by medicine for sick kids that won't go to sleep, and I when I go through Osco I look for sale/coupon/rebate items, and buy a bunch.

However, when it comes to my kids I try to stay away from any medicine with ephidrine, and look for meds that "may cause drowsiness". If a kid has to be sick, they might as well sleep it off.

[NewChief]

He told me of a process with a cattle water tank, electricity charged through a coil around a metal rod, and Stolen Cattle Salt Blocks to get some of the ingredients if they take Cold pills off the market.

Yeah. I saw some special the other night about regulating sale of products with ephedrine. The dude from enforcement was saying, "Bottom line. Without cold medicine and ephedrine, you can't make meth." Who the hell is he kidding? Just because you regulate ephedrine, you're not going to stop meth. They'll find a new way to make it. Failing that, the "big" labs will find a way to make ephedrine.

That being said, I really hate the shit. My brother had (and might still have) a horrible problem with it. On top of that, it's a freaking toxic waste dump every time some cook cleans out his ingredients. I'm tired of driving to a local stream and finding the junk from a meth lab dumped into the water or alongside the county road.

[yunghungwell]

Haha... you're kidding. So, what, stores have an interest in making sure the meth users don't get weak shit? "I'm sorry, we will not be a party to you stepping on the product. That's our commitment to community."

Noooo...If not locked up behind a counter the tweakers steal it. End, I am going to let you in on a secret. Everything (well, almost everything) in life, especially at Wal-Mart is about money.

[yunghungwell]

I saw that same report and laughed. They might cut down on the number of labs in MO, but the effing tweakers will still get meth. Statistics say that most of it comes from California or Mexico anyway.

Gosh that sucks, I remember your story and it was in the Dallas paper down here. I feel so sorry for that little boy. I wish he would of done this in TX...we would of taken care of him, and fast.

[badgirl]

My son and I were into model cars big time when we were in TX a couple years back he was 17, mind you, and they wouldn't let him buy the paint we used which was spray paint for the body of the car, my son barely takes the drugs the dr. gives him and when he does have too he takes them not one minutes sooner than he's suppose to

Last year in school he was a sr, he had turned 18 and had antibotics , in their bottle with his name on them and took them to school to take his prescribed dose, well they call me and I have to go to the school, sign for him to take them and he has to leave some them in the office and pick them up at the end of the day ANTIBOTICS what the hell.

This reminds me of something ...

I live off of 291 in Indpenendence. There's a building by the side of the road-- part of a business no longer in business. Someone spray painted "I LOVE METH" on the side of it.

About a week later, some enterprising person changed the "E" in "METH" to and "A."

Not sure why I found that so funny, but graffiti that says "I LOVE MATH" just cracks me up.

Ive known dudes that have mainlined speed(off and on) since the late 60s and ive never heard of brain tumors. Though HEP C is a strong concern.
Ive also had lots of people cross my path that were from casual user to hardcore abuser and never heard of tumors.

I don't know what you meant by this. I said oh well because it's not my money, I didn't lose anything.

FU.....why should I care at all that some ****ing drug runner got busted or lost 2 million dollars.....please tell me why i should care?


I need some background information on you first. Are you a Colombian coca field worker?

[NewChief]

The latest is called..."meth mouth."

Sounds like something off of Saturday Morning Schoolhouse Rock cartoons (that why guy, Mush Mouth).

Anyway, the prison systems are seeing huge problems with tooth decay. As in an entire mouth of teeth rotting in the space of a year. Evidently the chemicals in meth, combined with the crappy diets of users and the incessant grinding of teeth that speed cases is a bad recipe for oral hygeine. They're just pulling full sets of prisoners' teeth.

Going to do wonders for these folks when they try to go straight. Nothing says hireability like having a total of two teeth in your mouth.

[badgirl]

Ive known dudes that have mainlined speed(off and on) since the late 60s and ive never heard of brain tumors. Though HEP C is a strong concern.
Ive also had lots of people cross my path that were from casual user to hardcore abuser and never heard of tumors.
I did hear it made you brain crumble. WTF knows. its nasty shit and only a fool would try it.
Thats what the Dr. told her, she has one on the side of her brain and the other on the brain stem which cannot be removed, she now has seizures and is slightly retarded the chemicals will definately f*ck you up

while she was hospitalized with this I looked up meth and side effects on the internet and it talked about it causeing brain tumors also.

Thank God my daughter got away from it unhurt. I'm thankful everyday for that, she was roommates with this girl.

[keg in kc]

I think he was talking about United Parcel Service, not Underground Pothead Service.unquestionably pitiful slapstick

[Mark M]

Heh, my package got exactly where it was going.

Funnily enough, it was disguised as a birthday present... and by pure chance arrived on the recipient's birthday.

Happy birthday! Let's get stoned!

Just so you know, my birthday is June 12.

Understandably pithy statement

[NewChief]

If only there were an industry that produced artifical teeth for folks who had lost their real ones. Heck, I bet they'd have a strong market in old people, too.

Hey! Dentures ain't cheap. Just ask Skip.

[Rain Man]

It'd never work.

[badgirl]

No worries. I'll just steal a set from an old person.

Damnit, back to the joint I go.
you'd have to be quiet the man to steal dentures, when I have worked in hospitals, and even a nursing home, hated touching those things. :Lin:

[Rain Man]

I'll bet that in the next 20 years or so, there becomes a big market for decorative dentures. Why settle for pearly whites when you can go with a nice bright red with a Chiefs logo on each tooth? Mark my words, it'll be the next Microsoft.

[Rain Man]

I think the key would be to wait until the people take them out.

[keg in kc]

Hay, Brian, you're quiet the man. Your maby the bigest looser evar.

[badgirl]

I think the key would be to wait until the people take them out.
sometime they weren't able and I would have to do it,..I have saw many thing in the hospitals I've worked , legs cut off, blood dripping in the floor off the beds, people dying of gangreen, cancer, all kinds of crap, but nothing has brought a lump in my throat like doing mouth care on someone who is unable, but hey it has to be done.

God it almost makes me feel sick thinking about it.

[badgirl]

Hay, Brian, you're quiet the man. Your maby the bigest looser evar.
I'm not even going down that road :shake:

That reminds me, there's this poem some girl wrote and submitted to the LU magazine....it hurt me, deep down, to have to read it...

I had a guy in a focus group once who had a speech impediment. In the big picture, that's probably not as bad as your story, though.


(Seriously, I respect the heck out of health care folks. I couldn't do it.)

[keg in kc]

I could never do healthcare. *shudder*

[Lzen]

unquestionably pitiful slapstick

I laughed. :)

[chiefs4me]

I'm not surprised.

I am a little surprised that you honestly believe there's a shadowy drug kingpin out there who just hands over two million dollars worth of product to "some kid" and just shrugs it off if it doesn't get where it's going. That is an unbelievable level of stupidity.



:shake: Do you really believe that the kingpin in charge is running his own drugs? Do you really believe he sends his runner to the buyer with an IOU for the drug? I know more then I should about how some of these drug runners work, I can't and won't prove it, but you are the stupid one if you think otherwise.:harumph:

[badgirl]

I could tell you stories that would blow your mind, also make you vomit, so for respect for you guys I won't

[keg in kc]

[keg in kc]

I could tell you stories that would blow your mind, also make you vomit, so for respect for you guys I won'tThank you. I actually have a psychological issue with places and people I associate with "medical". Haven't been to a doctor outside the ER in, what's it been now, 13 years. I'm sure I'm rotting from the inside out because of it, but I just can't handle the places.

[chiefs4me]

As long as we're assessing my surprise, I'll state for the record that I'm not at all surprised that you're missing the point.





I really don't know how these people have put up with you for so long. You just turn everything negative and into a pissing match or wanna show someones faults. Personally you take the fun out of it, you just sap the fun right out of every thread.....have a great day you all.......see ya later.

Yea Endelt you hole sucking pansy. :p

[keg in kc]

“Hole”? “Sucking”?Add "gaping" to that, and it sums up some interesting porn I saw yesterday. But I digress.

[Iowanian]

I don't know what you meant by this. I said oh well because it's not my money, I didn't lose anything.

The person carrying the drugs knows that if they get caught they are going to jail. The person sending the drug runner knows that if his runner gets caught he is out 2 million dollars or more. So like I said, they know the risks, oh well to them.:thumb:

Actually....you do lose something.

It costs your local jail about $75-100/day to house that fugger. You know where that money comes from?

[keg in kc]

Is this one of those times when "interesting" isn't a good thing?Let's just say I'm not often frightened by porn, but this chick...just wasn't natural.

[Saulbadguy]

[Iowanian]

I was thinking that alot of healthcare sounds nasty...I know brideowanian has told some nasty stories over the years.

While taking out teeth sounds tramatic....I'd do it 100 times before wiping an arse.

(dislaimer: Hypothetical situation not relating to any real life individual case)
I also don't think it sounds nearly as nasty, as going in to work on a disgustingly obeise person thats had gastric bypass, and the surgery to remove the extra flab of skin...who didn't keep it clean, letting it get infected and is a gaping 5' long foot wide open wound, that you have to put your shoulder into a fat roll like a tacklin' sled to push it out of the way, to scrub the cheesy infection out of to medicate the wound.

Nurses don't get paid enough.

[Coach]

Well, the Dollar General store that my mother is the manager, she called me up and informed me that the Dollar General store was broken in last night, and apparently there are some cold meds that have been taken. She doesn't know how much exactly, was taken, but she can tell that there are quite alot of cold meds. that are missing.

F**kin meth-heads :shake:

[ChiefsOne]

The government shouldn't punish the majority of the population that wants these products for ligitiment uses.

If the meth heads want to make meth, let them and it will kill them off faster, natural Darwinism.

There was a lady who was admitted into CCU when I worked there, she was having cardiac arrest, she was the filthist woman I have ever say, we had to cut her clothes off and the smell would throw a healthy person into cardiac arrest themselves, oh some people, dear God....

I know I didn't get paid enough. after they took 100 bucks out for insurance and taxes, me and the kids just got by.

[keg in kc]

I think medical examiners have it worst, though. I was just thinking the other night about how I'll be one of those people that would die, but since I'm a hermit nobody would realize it for weeks. That'd be a yummy smell there.

My dad also saw some gruesome stuff as a first responder. Those guys and gals don't get paid enough. Actually, come to think of it, he didn't get paid at all.

[go bo]

Make Duhnise pay for it ...

her being the bleeding heart and all.

;)

Seriously,though, there needs to be a caveat to state or federally funded care:

If you did it to yourself, no health care for you!

MM
~~:shrug:to an extent, that's already been done by social security...

for a number of years now, alcoholics who drink or addicts who take drugs cannot get disability benefits unless they are totally disabled by some other condition...

personally, i wouldn't have any problem with all such benefits (state and federal) being restricted on the basis of drinking or addiction...

of course, the problem with denying benefis is that all you are doing is shifting the costs of dealing with alcoholics and addicts to somebody else (local governments in many cases) or to some other program (food stamps, for example)...

unless we totally stop all assistance of any kind to a/a's, including welfare and foodstamps and the whole enchilada, somebody's going to be paying for it in the long run...

and, as a society, do we really want to let people die off when they don't meet some particular standard? who sets that standard? is such a thing even possible under our constitutional/legal system?

do we let retarded people die off? how about people with birth defects? etc. etc.

i guess i don't see any easy solutions to the problem...

yea that would be pretty bad, we had to "stuff" our people who passed away and take them to the morgue, I looked in the autopsy room once and even though they weren't doing anything at the time I had a nightmare about it that night.

[yunghungwell]

A few years back I heard a story on the radio about an older gentelman who had an automatic bill pay set up for almost everything. He died in his easy chair while watching TV and was not found until years later when the bill collectors showed up because his bank account was empty.

I heard this on Rush or Paul Harvey. I can't remember which. Sounds like an urban legend, but the source seemed reliable. No, I haven't checked Snopes yet.

Not in Markland ... there, anyone who has voluntarily ruined their health gets sqaut ... nada ... zilch ... unless they can pay for it. That includes people like me who smoke.

unless we totally stop all assistance of any kind to a/a's, including welfare and foodstamps and the whole enchilada, somebody's going to be paying for it in the long run...
Again, those who have been put in a poor situation through things they can't control get the assistance.


and, as a society, do we really want to let people die off when they don't meet some particular standard?
Yes.
who sets that standard?
Me. ;)
is such a thing even possible under our constitutional/legal system?
Probably not.

do we let retarded people die off? how about people with birth defects? etc. etc.
Again, those people did not choose to be that way -- they were born that way. Thus, they get benefits.

i guess i don't see any easy solutions to the problem...

I'm not a hermit, but I think I'd probably be the same way. I'm not real good about returning phone call and stuff like that, so if a friend doesn't hear from me for a few weeks at a time, I don't think they think much of it. Nobody ever really drops by my place unannounced.

I don't know what would finally tip somebody off. Maybe my neighbor would notice my truck hadn't been leaving during the days for work for awhile.

Ya know, it probably wouldn’t be as bad as you might think. I’m sure your internals are fairly well pickled by now. ;)

Because of the nature of my work, I sometimes go weeks or months between jobs and I don't go out of my way to stay in touch with my boss. So if I kicked at a time when I wasn't scheduled, he wouldn't notice either, since it's not out of the ordinary for me to be out of touch for long periods of time. I've never met any of my neighbors, and my car's here more often then not, so there'd be nothing unusual there until the smell started to spread through the building. I don't think anybody here would notice either, since I disappear regularly for long stretches. I'm about as under-the-radar as a person can be.

Morbid idea, I guess, but it was inspired by a movie or TV show I saw yesterday. I'm not planning on dying anytime soon.

[NewChief]

Eventually, somebody would notice... I just wonder how long it would take.:hmmm:

nobody chooses to be an a/a...

of course, addiction results from poor choices, but once addicted, there is no longer any choice to it, nor is it something that can be controlled...

i guess that's probably why i have some reservations about restricting benefits because of addiction to drugs and/or alcohol..

but between social security and this maryland thing, it looks like we're headed that way...

we'll see how it works out...

To be honest, I don't necessarily disagree. I was just trying to take something to an extreme.

Addiction is a disease--heroin, meth, alcohol, etc. all have huge addictive qualities. But huffing paint or whatever is NOT an addiction -- it's stupid.

Yup. I bet the person you working with is FOS, or stupid. Or both. I think Wal-Mart is behind it too. They have good prices, but they are a very..uh..uptight with their "moralities".

Just FYI, but I spoke with our purchasing agent that normally buys batteries for our company and he tells me that it’s because of legislation not just a Wal-Mart policy. Said I’d probably have the same problem wherever I went.
I’ve got a friend that runs the local Radio Shack, when I can catch up to him I’ll ask ‘bout it also.
