Chemically Speaking

This is completely random but I cannot believe that I did not know this until the other day...

"Chemical castration" means injecting male pedophiles with Depo-Provera (or sometimes Lupron).

I just found this astounding, that I had never heard of this drug used in this way. Creepy.

Thank you for all your comments about my Aunt and that whole situation. I have the phone number for her care-giver but haven't called it yet. I want to talk to my Dad first to find out some more information. How does one go about establishing a relationship with someone who can't speak, hear or see? I want to find out how she communicates with others and how much she understands about the world. I want to write her a letter that could be translated into Braille (does she read Braille?) or at least palm-signed to her, but I don't know what to include or exclude. Does she know enough about the world to understand California? The next time I go home I will make every effort to meet her, that I know.

To be fair to the rest of my family, I don't have a good sense of who visited her or how often, other than my grandmother. I've known of her existence since my mid-teens, and it wasn't until now that I felt compelled to know her, so don't think of me as some saint.

I'm still fighting this cold and I'm damned tired of it. It's making me depressed. I'm still waiting to hear back about the job I interviewed for three weeks ago, while my horoscopes keep telling me that big changes are about to come, so I am trying to be patient. Meanwhile, I feel like crap.
