. . .and still don't know what the fuck it was.

Unfortunately, I tossed it, or I would post a pic.

But I was walking along and saw one of those little mini-baggies on the sidewalk, with several little white things in it. I thought it was some kind of pills. . . E?. . .and picked it up to look. It was tiny little balls of cottony looking stuff.

Somehow that was creepier than what I was expecting to find, and I tossed the bag in the nearest dumpster.

But now I wonder what the hell they were.

please tell me you washed your hands a lot?

U could have sold it

I'm thinking that's probably true.

I know it's gross, but I pick up random shit off the street to get a better look all the time. I walk a lot, and I live in a dense neighborhood, so. . .it's fun. Urban anthropology.

But yeah, I wash my hands a lot too.

HereToRockYourWorld said:

Me too on both statements. I find all kinds of stuff that way. Sometimes. Sometimes not, and I kind of regret picking it up...

HereToRockYourWorld said:

Stop that!

From now on,if u just got to look at it. Stoop down and lean in real close
Dont touch it

E, Anthrax, Swollen Pills...

This reminds me of the one time my mom, son and I were staying in this not so nice Econo Lodge. My son dropped something under the bed, so I was down on the floor reaching under the bed to look for it and there was a bag full of about 8 or 10 kinds of cold medicine!!! My mom's friend said that is what people make meth out of. Is that true? I started to get a little paranoid after that. We turned it into the front desk on our way out. Crazyness.

Earplugs?

Some people work in places that they always carry them on them....

Spider eggs?

What terrible thing is going to happen from touching it? Skin is pretty effective stuff.

Definately wasn't pills, and it wasn't a powder.

They were waaaaay smaller than that.

HereToRockYourWorld said:

No idea....but I wanna know now!

minneapolisgenius said:

They looked manmade to me -- very white and the fibers weren't that fine -- but they did look a bit like clusters of spider eggs.

Well, it's either that or some alien life form.

Tiny cotton balls are commonly used for smoking cocaine. We have a stash of them here at work for our syringe exchange kits.

This actually cheered me up and I don't know why. Just coming from you of all people most likely. I can't believe YOU knew that and I didn't. It should be the other way around!

minneapolisgenius said:

Yeah, cuz I'd probably cry if anyone ever offered me any sort of drug. I couldn't handle it.

It helps also that a good friend of mine used to be a big crack fiend. He filled me in on all sorts of shit I never knew. Like how all those scuzzy convenient stores carry the tiny silk roses in a small glass tube? Nobody buys them for the rose...it's for the tube/pipe. I had no idea. I also got to explain to my mom why so many Chore Boys were disappearing off the shelves of the store she works at.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I didn't know that either and I used to date a crack addict a long time ago. Good times, good times.....



Still remembering your story about how near your house some guy wanted to ask you if you wanted to buy, and the other one said, "Don't ask him man!"

I was outed as an L7 square to the local dealers.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Really tiny? I'm talking half the size of a pencil eraser.

Regardless, how are cotton balls used by people smoking crack?

HereToRockYourWorld said:

granted, i only smoked it twice, but i don't recall cotton balls.

i have actualy talked about that before, haven't i? am going to be really embarrassed if i just blurted that out.
