If her youngest sons with permanent lead exposure injuries were 14 and 17 in 2023, and the lead exposure event took place in 2005, when her older children were young, some of the math isn't mathing for me.

My dad gave me advice a hundred years ago, and it's probably a George Carlin bit or something, but there's a difference in philosophy between drunks and stoners. A drunk will pound a beer, or sip from a personal flask, or bring their own six pack to a party. A stoner's first impulse is to light a joint and find someone to pass it off to. It's communal, and it brings others into the circle, where alcohol is isolating. Obviously it's a generalization, but it sort of fits.
I preload one or two gumball machines with quarters at the laundromat for nosy bored kids stuck there with their parent. I was that bored kid once, and now I'm at a place where I can give back a bit... I'll also try to win toys at the claw machine and leave them in the bottom, but the success rate is bad.
The pain in having newly braided pubes, braided tightly enough and regularly enough to induce alopecia.... just wax, my bro. Just splurge on laser removal.
