I suspect there was more to it than the son knows about.

If there was anything threatening in what the girl posted, then it seems to me the school would have had the legal right to suspend her. It's all in how the school system's violence/hate talk/no tolerance policies are written.

I suspect they tell the MDs
that they wouldn't have these problems if ONLY they would use VR! Which of course isn't true, but so much cheaper.

I don't know, but I suspect it is
a drug reaction, like you were thinking. Has the therapist seen that before with Accutane? I have certainly read about a connection. If I were you I'd just spend extra time with your son doing fun and relaxing activities together. I think he's going to come out of this just fine because you jumped right on it.

OJ Simpson is named a suspect
in a break-in at a Las Vegas casino hotel room. Supposedly he went into someones room and took items that he said belonged to him because they were stolen from him. Can't wait to hear the rest of this story. Just came across on MSNBC and now FOX News.

I've been in a funk all day and suspect that
it will follow my normal pattern of lasting all winter. I love the tree and the lights and watching those "once a year" movies but I agree about the finances and the very non-hallmark family. Halloween is my favorite but I was a bah humbug for that and didn't even put out a pumpkin this year. Ho hum...

I suspect that once I mention this to my husband
that he will side with his sisters and not give a darn that my son is graduating. I even expect he will have an ugly comment to make about it also.
