The gas story is something else.. and that is what drugs, addiction and codeism can do.. it is a nutty cycle.
The most codie behavior story I ever read was the girl astronaut who drove cross country in a diaper to get at her "beloved's" girl friend..
Now THAT is codie to the core...... Can you imagine if there had been drugs involved?
Fixating on another to the exclusion of all else is so...so... CODIE... My gosh.. there are what.. 6 billion people on this planet? Certainly you can find someone else or make a different choice!
