It will not be temp, the doc's are saying due to the severity she will never be able to live alone or take care of herself, much less 2 kids. They have given her all kinds of tests and can't figure out where the clots are coming from, and drilled a hole in her skull to relieve the pressure that was building on her brain-stem.
The kids are....shocked and scared and worried, but I'm relaying all the info as I get it from their grandmother and the doctors. They know what happened, and they know what a stroke is as well. My mother had 1 in Feb. of last year, and I called my dad, and he talked to them about it as well. Being a preacher-man, he knows how to talk TO kids and not AT them. I'm doing all in my power to make sure they know how much I love them and how much she does, but at the same time its hard not to give them false hope.

You cannot exaggerate about the Marines. They are convinced to the point of arrogance that they are the most ferocious fighters on earth- and the amusing thing about it is that they are!!

Who knew that chloroform was a controlled substance, and when found with it in your possession you go to jail.....Too bad someone had some when he shouldn't have.



That's interesting, because chloroform (trichloromethane) isn't on any controlled substance schedules. It's an industrial solvent and used in different chemical processes. I've used it in DNA extraction, and am able to order it without filing any paperwork for controlled substances.

Cocaine is a Schedule II Controlled Substance.

You can read the entire USC 21 Chapter 13 here: http://uscode.house.gov/download/pls/21C13.txt I've taken the liberty to cut/paste the Schedule II drugs below:

SCHEDULE II.

(A) The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.

(B) The drug or other substance has a currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States or a currently accepted medical use with severe restrictions.

(C) Abuse of the drug or other substances may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence.

SCHEDULE II.

(a) Unless specifically excepted or unless listed in another schedule, any of the following substances whether produced directly or indirectly by extraction from substances of vegetable origin, or independently by means of chemical synthesis, or by a combination of extraction and chemical synthesis:

1. Opium and opiate, and any salt, compound, derivative, or preparation of opium or opiate.

2. Any salt, compound, derivative, or preparation thereof which is chemically equivalent or identical with any of the substances referred to in clause (1), except that these substances shall not include the isoquinoline alkaloids of opium.

3. Opium poppy and poppy straw.

4. coca leaves, except coca leaves and extracts of coca leaves from which cocaine, ecgonine, and derivatives of ecgonine or their salts have been removed; cocaine, its salts, optical and geometric isomers, and salts of isomers; ecgonine, its derivatives, their salts, isomers, and salts of isomers; or any compound, mixture, or preparation which contains any quantity of any of the substances referred to in this paragraph.

(b) Unless specifically excepted or unless listed in another schedule, any of the following opiates, including their isomers, esters, ethers, salts, and salts of isomers, esters and ethers, whenever the existence of such isomers, esters, ethers, and salts is possible within the specific chemical designation:

5. Alphaprodine, Anileridine, Bezitramide, Dihydrocodeine, Diphenoxylate, Fentanyl, Isomethadone, Levomethorphan, Levorphanol, Metazocine, Methadone, Methadone-Intermediate, 4-cyano-2-dimethylamino-4, 4-diphenyl butane, Moramide-Intermediate, 2-methyl-3-morpholino-1, 1-diphenylpropane-carboxylic acid, Pethidine, Pethidine-Intermediate-A, 4-cyano-1-methyl-4-phenylpiperidine, Pethidine-Intermediate-B, ethyl-4-phenylpiperidine-4-carboxylate, Pethidine-Intermediate-C, 1-methyl-4-phenylpiperidine-4-carboxylic acid, Phenazocine, Piminodine, Racemethorphan, Racemorphan.

(c) Unless specifically excepted or unless listed in another schedule, any
injectable liquid which contains any quantity of methamphetamine, including its
salts, isomers, and salts of isomers

Nowhere in the code does it list Chloroform.

Nor does it list formyl trichloride, methane trichloride, methyl trichloride methenyl trichloride or TCM (all commercial names for chloroform).

Again; it's a commonly used solvent which is commercially available. If it were a controlled substance like you suggest it is, you wouldn't be able to purchase it from a chemical supply catalogue.

Now I know this is a troll. Had my suspicions with the OP, but gave that the benefit of the doubt.

Hell, we have a bottle of chloroform here at home. Not a controlled substance, obviously. You know what it's good for? Attaching plexiglass to itself. Yeah it's really cool, it sort of melts the plastic. Really useful stuff when you are 14 and making napkin holders in shop class! Everyone else screwed the base to the bent part to hold the napkins, my Dad hooked me up with the good stuff.

Smells nice too, not that I'd go inhale a ton of it...

As i said, it's according to my local S.O., never looked into it myself. Really didn't care until I found out they had it around my kids...1st thing that popped into my head was the Casey Anthony stuff.
