Anybody remember the Rules?
« on: December 15, 2004, 01:56:00 PM »
OK, sit up straight in your seat, make sure your smokes are at the ready in your pocket, keep your eyes on the speaker (even if s/he is right behind you and you have to twist your neck completely around)...it's time for The Rules!

So make sure your attitude is right, and your out of your freakin' head for once, raise your hand - and let's hear some enthusiasm! OK? Who wants to go first...

(OK, well, look who's got there hand up! It's our Newcomer - sure you're ready to participate? Well, then, go ahead...)

"Guys wear shirts and chicks were bras and everybody wears hard-soled shoes! Guys wear shirts and chicks wear bras, to cut down on the games and competition, and everybody wears hard-soled shoes to protect your feet!"

(Very good. Next?)

(Where's your rule Greg...you are obviously getting into your head! OK, here's the one you're thinking of...)

"Honesty is the first and most important rule. You can't get straight if you're not ready to be honest. And it also means that you don't play one staff member against another - that's a druggie game we used to play with our parents - the first answer you get is the answer you stay with. And what goes along with this is, what's heard at the Seed stays at the Seed. That means that anything that happens here stays here - you don't want to be talking to the press or the media or ANYBODY, without staff permission."[ This Message was edited by: cleveland on 2004-12-15 12:57 ]

Nope...  No talking to newspaper reporters or people from any other drug programs.

No borrowing or lending.

Report any suspicious people you see around the building.

To sending or receiving mail till oldcomer at home.

No druggie music (90% of everybody are druggies)

No newcomers talking to newcomers.

No talking behind backs.

No stopping off w/o permission.


Now, in Straight, all of those were still there. Here are some innovations.

No newcomers looking in the mirror.

No sleeping on the way to or from the building. (sleeping was rather discouraged on oldcomer days off as well)

No flip flops.

No jeans.

No shirts w/ pictures or writing (even if it's not a concert t-shirt)

Impiety: Your irreverence toward my deity.
--Ambrose Bierce

"For the first three days you take the cotton out of your ears and you put it in your mouth (yuck). This means that for the first three days, you just listen. All of us were so full of shit before, that it's really important that we just listen to people. After the three days are over, you should be ready to be honest and participate."

I can't believe I still know these, word for word. Although I think I might have mixed two different rules in a previous posting - I had trouble with that even when I heard these every day!

There was once a dog at the Seed name "spatts" He was part mutt and part wolf.  (A girl named Kinda used care for him(I just pulled that out of the ole memory banks). He was there until
 someone adopted him.  And let me explain this rule quickly before another web-site is formed.  The rule was "no fucking with Spatts" which meant don't mess with him.  ::bigmouth::
