They may have been included in the zipfiles, I'm at work and don't know which one, because they are in my home file, but the last time I checked the Sheriff's Department no longer has the zipfiles on their page. sad sad

I'm pretty sure it described the size of the scar. I don't make shit up. I may misremember something, but if it didn't mention a size at all I wouldn't have invented a size. Ass. There was all manner of speculation about what type of surgery it was because it seemed too small for a full on hip replacement. Ass part II

I don't see where it mentions the size of the scar.

Its not two people. I thought so. She is just saying the same thing she said before. Crystal might be talking about the next assistant who was warned by her that Prince would want pain pill doctors. Prince died of his addiction so the assumption might be that her statements were ignored. But Prince also wasn't going to doctors anymore which made me think that maybe some folks were trying to cut him off so he chose another route..all he needed was one person to agree to it. I actually don't think it was Kirk. But it could have been Meron, or Phaedra or that night watchman who the investigators didn't look into. I also think it is possible that P compartmentalized his drug use just as much as he compartmentalized most things. He might have kept people confused by doing this. Dealers in California that his wife was concerned about, black market pills, getting friends to agree to pick up pills for him under their name, doctors who agreed to prescribe what he requested.. All of this might have made it hard for folks to fully ascertain the extent of his usage. But whatever it was, he was a surprisingly high functioning addict who had legit pain so I do kind of doubt he did it just to get high or escape his life. I think he did it to keep at his bigger addiction--music and performing and to deal with stress and anxiety.. I also think he intentionly took his worse pills on the night of his death. Its interesting after listening to Michael Bland's interview, I think maybe the camp is completely divided on this. Bland thinks Prince did it on accident, but Barbarello stated that "since when did Prince make mistakes?" which seems like he thinks it was intentional. Susan Rogers seems to think Prince just gave up. Lisa coleman seems to think the same (she said she suspects that Prince was going through a great deal of emotional pain at the end of his life.) Still others think it was an accident facilitated by enablers.

I already verified in a earlier post she was the same person.


Can I ask where you read/heard the statements from colleagues?? I want to read those (somewhere w/o pics from the scene).

too many suspects, too many enablers & far too many questions....BUT as we all know Prince was addicted for years, hid his habit & AFAIK never sought help until it was too late. In the end his stubborness in not getting help cost him dearly. Had he been thinking straight when in hospital a few days before then I have no doubt that he would be alive today....do we blame Jill & KJ for not pinning him down & insisting he stayed there, do we blame the medics...OR do we simply blame the actions of a stubborn / perhaps embarrassed Prince?

And Lenny Kravitz said immediately he knew what had happened. I don't know if he knew whether it was accidental or deliberate, but I bet he wished he never said that.

It's the interview from the police because it's word from word from the transcript. The medics also did an interview that the police never released

Watched 20/20. Hard to watch. They probably couldn’t figure out where P got those pills because someone erased it off his computer and messed up the investigation by doing so. I know P didn’t go online to do it-so who did? Why hide something that could help so many others? 🤬




Elisa Fiorillo Retweeted Sara Savoy

IMO-P would not go online with a credit card & do that. He would get someone else 2 do it. He had his own band/family sign agreements because of his trust issues. Why would u think he would take that chance? He never did his own internet purchases. Someone else always handled it.

How does she KNOW he didn't? Was she always there to see everything he did? I am not convinced that others did this for him. I can see others picking up packages for him, how could they know what was in them? But I don't believe he didn't know his way around on the internet.

She worked for him in 2011. Unleas she is willing to admit that maybe he had an addiction when she was around, she needs to step off a bit. Plus, I am not convinced he would want folks purchasing drugs on his computer. He took out petty cash and had a bag of cash in this vault. I am more inclined to believe that he would have had other folks purchasing stuff online on their own laptops like he had others using their phones and using their credit cards. He would reimburse them.

Exactly. And used other social media. Not for nothing, but we aren't talking about someone who is technologically inept and I really dislike when others try to make him out to be that way. I don't get what her point is but she's doing a poor job of making it.

She is saying that but she didn't say in such brutal way. She implied that he also didn't like saying goodbye and that it was hard for him to get emotionally attached. In other words, there was undercurrent of vulnerability implied, not misanthropy.

At one point in that vid, the sister talks about how Prince — disliking being emotionally attached to people — to where if someone was staying with him for an extended visit and he got fed up with them after two days, he'd hand them their luggage and tell them, "Ya gots t' go!"



LOL!



I wonder if she's trying to say Prince did that to her.



I know what the sister said in the 20/20 vid that I watched. Thanks. And I know what I said in my comment about what she said in that vid.



Nobody (except for you, that is) said anything at all about Prince being a "misanthrope".



If you need Prince to be "vulnerable" in your mind because you struggle for whatever reason to picture him as simply being a typical "temperamental artiste", then far be it for me to begrudge you what you need.



To my way of thinking, however, relaying that , "so-and-so said, 'Ya gots t' go!'" is no more "brutal" than relaying that ,"so-and-so was irritable" or "I didn't want so-and-so in my life anymore".



I can easily see an "irritable" person who is entertaining a house guest they invited to stay for a week, prematurely telling that guest — in no uncertain terms — they'd prefer to be left alone after only two days into the visit.



If I was that guest, I wouldn't think to myself, "Man, that was brutal!". I would more than likely think to myself, "Man, so-and-so sure seems irritable!".



But hey! That's just me (and that Crystal lady) ;¬)

Most nights, I go right to sleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. But occasionally I have trouble staying asleep all night. So I have both Nytol and hayfever pills on opposite sides of my night stand. Depending on what time I wake up during the night — two hours before or four hours before I have to get up for work — I'll reach for one or the other depending on what strength I think I want. The hay fever pills and the Nytol are both in the category of OTC medications called "Antihistamines". The former having a lower strength than the latter.



My "left side/hayfever pills — right side/Nytol" system works very well for me. I wake up, it's dark, I don't want to turn on the lights because that would make me even more awake. I've trained myself to reach for the appropriate side of the night stand pretty much on the instinct that comes from a long-term self-medication habit.



Sometimes, though, as I'm fumbling around in the dark to pop one or two of either pill out of their respective blister packs, sometimes I'm all butter fingers and a pill goes flying and lands heaven knows where. On the floor? In between the folds of my blanket? Or, most often, into a tiny black hole — where a lot of socks, sunglasses, hand tools and whatnot seem to go — never ever to be seen again.



That's why it's not hard for me to imagine that a super-organized person dependent on counterfeit opioid pain killers might have a similar system for the different levels of opioid pain relief they might need under different conditions.



One system I could imagine might work to categorize different counterfeit opioid pill strengths, is an alphabetical system. For example, "A" for heavy duty relief; "B" for mild-to-middling relief and "C" for light relief. But how could I separate them into an inconspicuous but also super convenient, easily-memorized way? Well, I know mnemonics help me to remember stuff. So I might put the "A" pills in an Advil container. I might put the "B" pills in a Bayer container. And I might put the "C" pills in a vitamin C container. Or some such.



But that's just me ;¬)

Some valid points. But nothing in what Sharon stated indicated "irritable" or even tempermental. She stated that he didn't like being emotionally attached or saying goodbye. Not wanting to say goodbye is odd for someone who is irritable and just wants people to leave. He could have just said "you all need to go. I got work to do and you are eating me out of house and home." Prince's tendency to go in and out of people's lives with little warning is not as simple as just the typical artistic temperment. He may have thought he needed to get back to work, or to protect himself from a mooching family or whatever, but she didn't mention irritability--only his tendency to turn to cryptic distance without warning even after they all had a good time. She said for two days they'd be having a good time and without warning -- one of his people would hand them their luggage without even the finality of him saying "goodbye" or even "get the f*** out of my house".

Good point about ABC..I too think P's pills were more organized than the investigators like to state. They talk about this as if P's pills were just randomly thrown together. They weren't if the list is correct. I seriously think they want P to have accidently taken these pills so he can be their poster boy and possible avenue to finding the big fish in China making this shit. Metz saying its unlikely P would have known what he was taking and then leaves out the fact that the Aleve, Bayer, and Vitamin C bottles have different pills..(only one bottle has pills that tested as both one drug and then another--the bottle with hydro and lidocaine). All the rest of the pills in the other bottles with Watson 853 were fentanyl cocktails. I think --if I recall. I remember finding that pattern disturbing and not as random as the press and investigators are saying.

LOL.


I wish Prince had more people whom he was close to in his life. But I am NOT sure I care if he was close to his half siblings who were 15 years-18 years older than him. I thought I read somewhere that he and Sharon didn't even meet until he was a teenager. She was probably no closer than a cousin.

Just tossing in here that opiates are capable of both sedating and energizing effects. One discussion of this: https://www.researchgate....ome_humans



thx for the link. reading...



and we know he was a hugh fan of 5hr energy. i have never taken those, anyone know what


it would equate to in coffee? are its effects not as jittery as coffee? i wonder if he took one


or two of those things. he did seem to not lack energy in shows.


Idk for sure, but I think it's more than coffee. I drink ALOT of coffee, but those energy drinks do a number on me. I don't like the way I feel from them, but they do work. I still prefer a good espresso. Strong coffee will make my heart "flutter" at times, but energy drinks just make me feel scrambled. I can't organize my thoughts or actions when my mind is racing in such a way. So while they do work they just don't work for me.

I don’t believe for one second that Sharon even set foot in Paisley Park before Prince transitioned. She doesn’t even remember when Prince passed! How could U get the day wrong when your own famous brother DIED?!
PRINCE DID NOT PASS TWO DAYS AFTER THE PLANE MOLINE INCIDENT!!


The way this woman has tried to stop almost EVERYTHING COAmerica has done to try to preserve Prince’s legacy is pathetic.

Only good thing she’s letting people know that he DID NOT commit suicide
