Even though featuring the All-time hit's list is temporary, I was thinking of changing it to Most popular last 30 days. As you might have guessed, that's our three choices: last seven, last 30, or All-time. Let us know what you think.
If there are any of the all time hits that you haven't read, now's an easy time to catch a link!
Congratulations to Rocco for posting the most popular post! K2! And still, this issue is of growing importance. By the way, did we tell you that Juvenile Probation can now test for K2, and there are tests out there that parents can buy?
And then Max, way to go with the Wexford Recap. What it is about that recap that has brought in 2, 314 page views?
It's very well-written, it's informative and it's entertaining. And yet, we have other "recaps" some written by Max and some by Rocco that are also well-written, informative and entertaining. I read it over and I must say there's a bit of a mystery on this one. How wonderful that even on the internet, or maybe especially on the internet, you can still find mystery!
Wilma, there is quite an interest in your Nature verse Nurture also. It's a short post but very well-written. And I quite agree that you probably could not have prevented this. I think that could be said for non-adoptive parents as well.
I'm not surprised that Mary Chalburg's post was widely read. Mary was much loved and admired by people everywhere.
All in all, one thing that the All-time Hits List really hits home is the point that our little blog reaches a lot of people. Let's all give ourselves a hand. Our group of parents have provided the material and our group of parents have promoted our blog. It's an accomplishment in which we can be proud. And the nice thing too is that it sort of has a life of it's own.

And don't forget Lloyd's post on how kids manipulate. Interestingly, that one was written in 2009, and there were still comments about it being posted in 2011.
It's fun to see the all-time list occasionally, but I would vote for having the last-30-days hits as the normal listing.

Lloyd,
This is great!
I think I know why the Wexford summary has so many viewers. It has something in common with the K2 story. The Wexford recap mentions the word "Mucinex", as in Robo-tripping. These words make them both targets of Internet searches... K2, Spice, Mucinex, and Robo-tripping: all hot topics.
And that means there are a lot of parents of teens out there looking for help for their addicted or chemical-hunger teens.
That's my answer to the mystery. Any thoughts if I'm right or not?
Ralph.
Ralph, I think you solved the mystery. Yes, a lot of parents want answers. One thing I think we can say for sure is this: "It's not your father's drug problem!"
Of course you know me well enough to know, but some readers might not, that I'm not referring to any parents who may or may not have or have had drug issues, I mean the landscape has changed so much that it is challenging to keep up.
Parents are desperate for answers.
Even as the terrain changes, what we as parents do to respond to our teen's drug issues, doesn't change that much. By all means be informed so that you know what to look for but once you find what your looking for, the responses that work on the parent side are pretty much the same. Hopefully, once parents find us through key words like k-2, spice, Mucinex, rob-tripping, etc., they'll stick around a while and see that there are solutions.
The solutions don't work overnight but over time having a group like ours where parents are helping parents does provide people options that they never realized they have.
Thanks Ralph, that really makes sense.
