At One Time or Another

One of my favorite shows is Intervention on A&E because I think that substance abuse will effect most families in one way or the other. In a lot of cases the patients have to detox before they can ever go to treatment. I guess it usually takes like eight days.

I think in some of these cases the people are just so scared of the physical pain that going through a rapid detox might really help them agree to get treatment. Of course then they still need to follow up with a lot of counseling. Plus, for this kind of procedure there really should be an extensive research and interview process. It isn’t covered by medical insurance but for some people it may be the right decision.

Backup Plan

Bad things happen to good people, even if they are a princess. Lately I’ve really been thinking about how the people who need to get on social security disability usually can’t. It seems like everyone gets denied the first time. Then they need someone like Allsup to help them through the process so they can ctually get the benefits that they deserve. I think it’s important in this economy to have a worst case scenario plan in place just in case you need it.

Rutiliated Ring Contest

I notice that whenever I read forums people assume the worst, get offended easily and pick fights in ways that they normally wouldn’t in real life. If only people would do the exact opposite of that the world would just be a much better place. This is one of the theories behind Random Acts of Bling: sometimes people can be nice for no reason. The winner can either keep the jewelry or give it away to someone else. In order to enter the contest your comment must be about who you would give this to and why or a random act of kindness.

The prize this week is a rutilated quartz and sterling silver ring. It’s small, I think it’s a 6.5 size or less so it might make a good pinky ring.

The Rules:

Please don’t sell the jewelry, it’s to make whoever receives it feel special. The winner will be chosen by a random number
generator at 6pm on Friday Mountain Time.

Contestants should be over 18 & live in the lower 48 states because I’ll be paying shipping. I won’t sell or abuse your
mailing address.

If you’ve already won a Random Act of Bling, you can win again, but please give the jewelry away at random.

Please leave a valid e-mail address, this is how I will contact you if you win. The subject line of the email will say something
like”Random Acts of Bling: You Won” I’ll also announce the winner in a blog post. If I can’t reach you then I might
have to relist your prize.

If you want to link or stumble this post it would be appreciated but is not required.

Comment/trackback/link should be about a random act of kindness or who you would give this jewelry to & why.
