  2. Or not. Doing everything she could to conceal Trump's crimes and kiss Trump's arse appears to have got her off the hook. For now.
    I still wouldn't write life insurance on her though.

  8. Coincidentally I just read, by Sigmund Freud, in 1899:

    "The scabs on the nostrils bring to mind a problem I once had with my own health. At that time I frequently used cocaine to suppress bothersome swellings in my nose and a few days ago I had heard that a woman patient who did the same had contracted an extensive necrosis of the nasal mucous membrane. My recommendation of cocaine, which I made in 1885, also brought severe criticism upon me."

    He goes on to mention the friend who was trying to quit 'morphia' he recommended coke to, but to take it 'orally'. But the friend immediately started shooting it up, and before long died.

    Then there's patient Mathilde, who we now know was bipolar - so psychoanalysis probably worse than useless - he put on sulfonal, a hypnotic as dangerous as barbiturates, which eventually killed her.

    Probably the wrong thread to say LOL.

  14. Another example of my questionable youth choices: I found a Benzedrine inhaler in the medicine cupboard. Christ knows how old that was. I broke it open, soaked the wadding, drank it and spent the night speeding.
