Gugny Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I think it's beautiful how she envisions herself as coming back as one who will help others with struggles that she lived with. Whether this was an intentional death, or not, it's terribly sad; and it is another red flag that mental illness is one of the biggest problems our society faces. Yet it's terribly underfunded. Priorities are severely out of whack in this country and in this world. http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2018/01/17/dolores-oriordan-was-found-on-bathroom-floor-by-hotel-staff-reports-say.html According to a report, O'Riordan said in an interview several years ago she said, "I'm 43. If I see 50, I'll be happy. I mean that." The mother of three was open about her battle with depression. "I think I'll probably come back as an angel and I'd like to guide people or guard people going through similar experiences in life, whisper in their ear and kind of give them ideas on how to deal with things," O'Riordan said in a 2013 interview when asked about reincarnation. She reflected on her past struggles in a chat with the Irish News in May 2017. “There have been times when I’ve struggled. The death of my father and mother-in-law was very hard. Looking back, I think depression, whatever the cause, is one of the worst things to go through. Then again, I’ve also had a lot of joy in my life, especially with my children. You get ups as well as downs. Sure isn’t that what life’s all about?” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this time she was successful. Don't think that information has been released though.

plenzmd1 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 how drunk ya gotta be to do this Quote She said it would seem that O'Riordan - who was wearing a long-sleeved vest and pyjama bottoms - became unconscious in the bath, adding: "There's no evidence that this was anything other than an accident."

Empty bottles were found in O'Riordan's room (five miniature bottles and a champagne bottle) as well as some prescription drugs, but toxicology tests showed that her body contained only "therapeutic" amounts of these medications but 330 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood, a blood alcohol content of 0.33%.[65] That is crazy.

Nextmanup Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Alcohol is a terrible, dangerous drug. Much, much worse than marijuana. Funny that one is legal and socially accepted, and the other (for the most part) is not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine a tad more drunk than I got before banging a couple of the heifers I did in my 20s. But not much. And if an article of clothing has sleeves, doesn't that disqualify it from "vest," status??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcohol, like weed, like prescription pills, like sugary snack, like salty snacks are okay if you are responsible with it. If you do any of them too much, it's dangerous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny that one is legal and socially accepted, and the other (for the most part) is not. Quite honestly, I believe it’s the fact that there’s a lot of $ backing alcohol. Eventually, if marijuana becomes more acceptable to public mores, it will be the same. Look at the mad rush now in Canada for companies grabbing market share. There’s plenty of undesirable consequences regarding both substances, both directly and indirectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was first before the US prohibition of alchohol. It was a huge failure. Same thing will happen with the Mary Jane.
