Scary email

OK, I get on the computer and check my email, as usual. There is one from my brother and it says please read. Now, I'm thinking that it is one of the jokes or something like that , that is what he usually sends me. No, it is about a new drug that is showing up at elementary schools. I copied and pasted the email to my word thing on the computer and made several copies. I am going to take them to the schools where my grandchildren go and to the grocery store and have them make copies for the bulletin board. Here is a quick run down of the email:

There is a very scary thing going on in the schools right now that we all need to be aware of. There is a new drug known as "strawberry quick" . This is a type of crystal meth that looks like strawberry pop rocks( the candy that pops and sizzles in your mouth). It also smells like strawberry and it is being handed out to kids in school yards. They are calling it strawberry meth or strawberry quick. Kids are ingesting this thinking that it is candy and being rushed off to the E.R. in dire condition. It also comes in chocolate, peanut butter, cola, cherry, grape and orange. Please instruct your children not to accept candy from strangers and not even to accept candy that looks like this from thier friends as they may have been given it and think it is candy. If they already have it then take it to the teacher or principal immediately. Anyone that reads this please pass it on to as many people as you know so that awareness can be raised and maybe a few kids saved.

I don't know how to post this anywhere else on this site, so if anyone else does, feel free to copy the above section and post it where it can be read by the most people and therefore passed on to many more.

As for the rest of the daily bs, it can take a back seat to the email. I'm feeling better but my neck is really sore. Think I pulled a muscle with all of the coughing or it is turning into strep. Have to get my husband to go to the doctor and get me some anti-biotics. I don't have insurance and can't afford the doctor visit. He has insurance through work, so it is affordable for him. Anyway, I'll add some more tomorrow.
