The Lo Zone

A groovy place in cyberspace run by author Lolita Files. Come on in. Bring some Pepsi.

 
Lo Fun Fact #1
"Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. To this day, she has no idea what a "Lolita" is.
Lo Fun Fact #2
I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of Christian Louboutins.
Lo Fun Fact #3
Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all?
Lo Fun Fact #4
I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay?
Lo Fun Fact #5
I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!!
Lo Fun Fact #6
I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position.
Lo Fun Fact #7
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs, bird, and cat, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond.
As If A Little Cat Poop Could Stop A Crackhead...

This is enough to make me start a series called, "Things Only White People Could Come Up With." To wit...

Got some leftover drugs---the kind that someone else might want to use, such as painkillers or stimulants? Wrap them up in used kitty litter or other pet droppings, the U.S. government advises.

A pilot program at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration is looking at ways people can safely dispose of unused prescription drugs that are liable to be abused.

[...]

On its Web site at http://www.samhsa.gov/rxsafety/, SAMHSA recommends ways to disguise leftover pills.

"Mixing prescription drugs with an undesirable substance, such as used coffee grounds or kitty litter, and putting them in impermeable, nondescript containers, such as empty cans or sealable bags, will further ensure the drugs are not diverted," it says.

Of course some people do not drink coffee. But maybe they have a pet ferret.

"Ferret waste, like nearly any other form of pet waste, can be effectively used to help prevent the abuse of unused prescription drugs," SAMHSA spokesman Mark Weber said.

This news delighted the American Ferret Association.
I'm sure it did.

Since when do people dispose of old prescriptions anyway? Shit, I got pills from eight years ago and, if in a pinch, I will pop one of them mugs. Most of the time, they still work.

Why give up perfectly good pills just because of some silly expiration date? That sounds like something white people do.


*BTW, that picture at the top isn't actual cat litter. It's some nastiness THAT SOME WHITE PEOPLE PROBABLY CAME UP WITH called
kitty litter cake.

**I'm just kidding, white people. I luh y'all. I got white people in my bloodline, so I'm stuck with y'all no matter what.

    That's some nasty shit. As for how to dispose of old pills, why not just flush em? Who wants to take the time to be putting pills inside ferret shit so nobody else can use them? Dumbness.

    This is out and out crazy. Even though I tend to be a lurker, I've been reading your blog since the very beginning and am always amazed at how you find these things.

    I'm glad you said it. Cause the whole time I was reading this I was thinking "Who in the hell gets rid of pills?" That...and "Who in the hell are these folks? They sound like some damn fools!"

    Heeeyyyy Lo!
