On to Shreveport! Email problems persist!

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on June 18th, 2005

Thanks fo the folks who have emailed us– and re-emailed us– at the bmckim(at symbol)mindspring.com! We’re still having technical difficulties, so we’re missing some emails here and there! The old (Anything)(at symbol)sheckymagazine.com addresses are inoperable for the foreseeable future!

And special thanks to one of our readers for the warning on Oxycontin! Otherwise known as “Hillbilly Heroin,” Oxy is apparently terribly addictive and is freuqently (perhaps too frequently) prescribed for back pains like we described in an earlier post. Says the male half of the staff:

We are well aware of the addictive nature of such drugs– we had a bottle of Vicodin in the medicine cabinet for a few years– a holdover from the hernia operation of 1995! We gobbled a couple down a couple years back as a sleep aid (when Vicodin was enjoying a reputation as a “cool!” drug, the choice of a new generation of Hollywood stars like Matthew Perry!) and quickly realized just how it might be an appealing drug! Especially if one was chauffered about and had no call to operate heavy machinery!

We were reminded of a ridiculous scenario from last week– Early on in the back spasm episode, I pressed an old handmade cane that was lying around the apartment into service. And, it just so happened that “House” was on the telly that night. And I hadn’t shaved in a day or two. Traci called me the most pathetic “House” fan in the world. Watching my favorite TV show and clutching my cane, I was like a five year-old watching “Davy Crockett” while wearing a coonskin cap. Pathetic indeed.

On to Shreveport! And stay tuned for a special announcement when we hit Vegas!
