a bit of an aside

Might want to delete this one.

I knew a homeless woman, around 36, African American, drug addict (meths and more) who had been diagnosed with AIDS long, long ago. (I know, I know...the A word - what can say other than "who knows" yet again.) At any rate, she pretty much prostituted herself for a living but came around for a dollar every day. Felt sorry for her, whatever.

She told me she had AIDS, and when I asked if she ever had been sick she said no, never, nothing. I later learned from someone who claimed to be her cousin that she drank bleach every day.

I'd almost try it, if no other option was left and I lay dying. I'd do it before taking a gun to my head, let's say. Miracle Whatever, Clorox bleach, EST.....Gas-o-leeeeen.
