Hey OP, can't help you on a recommendation. I just want to say I understand what you may be experiencing and I'm sympathetic.

All I want to do is agree with you about civil liberties and all you all want to do is argue about politics on Reddit.

This is reaching astounding levels of absurdity. It's like I'm supposed to be outraged about something I have no ideas about and I'm treated as if it's my duty as a human being to be informed about political shit that has nothing to do with me. And I have to do all my own research, because asking for an explanation is apparently verboten.

This is what happened last time. PPA would write you a ticket for not moving your car and street sweepers would never show up. Then streets dept would say it was cause cars didn't move. So one asshole wouldn't move his car and the cleaning crew would just skip your block. So you are inconvenienced for no reason.

Reply to Where to buy crème fraiche by coreytrevor
Creme Fraiche is very easy to make yourself and also much better home made.
What you want to do is get one of those quart containers that wonton soup comes in. Fill it up with heavy cream and then add a few table spoons or more of buttermilk. Put a paper towel over it and the lid on top but don't seal it. Then you want to put it somewhere warm until it becomes solid. In the summer you can just leave it out on the counter overnight and it will be solid in the morning. This time of year you might have to leave it on the radiator for a few days. Once it's solid, put it in the fridge for 24 hours. Then it's done and ready to eat. Much milder and more buttery than what you buy. Great for baking. This is good for 10-14 days. At that point you can start another quart with what you have left over. Just mix that with heavy cream instead of buttermilk.

Reply to comment by jersey_girl660 in Mayoral Candidate Rebecca Rhynhart lays out plan of attack for opioid crisis from Kensington by ColdJay64
My friend was jailed briefly before taking a plea deal which had him in a 30 day inpatient rehab in lieu of a prison sentence. The time he spent in jail was because he couldn't post bail. In today's climate, he wouldn't have been arrested, or jailed or kept in custody awaiting a trial.
I don't think prison is an answer, although there are certainly addicts who should be in prison for the actions they take to support their addiction. There should be an infrastructure in place, in prisons, to treat addicts for are incarcerated.
I strongly believe that most addicts, should be arrested, charged and forced into 30 day rehab in lieu of a prison sentence. If we don't have the beds for that, we should make the beds for that. We should spend whatever money is necessary to force people through detox and into treatment at every opportunity. As a society we should put our foot down and say, no, you will not get high on heroin with impunity.

I totally understand the concept and where the idea of harm reduction is coming from. I respect the idea of harm reduction and I think it comes from a good place.
To me, I think about a person I was close with being hooked on drugs, crack, throwing their life away, destroying their body, destroying all their relationships and many close calls with death. I think about how I felt and his family felt when he was arrested, relieved. I remember when he was jailed, we were hopeful. In that moment of sobriety, he opted for inpatient rehab. That's the kind of intervention I think we need. I

Ultimately intervention almost always has to be someone saying, you aren't getting high for 30 days and we are going to make sure you don't drop dead from withdrawal at an inpatient facility, against your will.

To me, I have seen up close what happens to addicts and their families and with that suffering in mind, I don't think we should ever legalize or decriminalize heroin.
It doesn't matter if it's cheaper, to me it seems like the right thing to do, to aggressively intervene in these people's lives.

I try not to proselytize, I think it's rude. I went through a similar thing with my own dad, FTD. I found solace in my religion during that time not because I thought of seeing my dad as he was in the next life, but because it was such a struggle to understand how something so horrible can happen to a person, to a family. For me religion was a way to tell myself that things happen in life that we don't understand but there is still a meaning to it.
I hope you can find that inner peace for yourself in your own way. Anytime you feel like you are going through this and you just want to vent, you can send me a private message, anytime. No talk about religion, just someone to talk to who knows what it's like.
