Just to clarify, this is the third Operation Medicine Cabinet in the Valley, not the first. We conducted the first with LVMPD in February and collected 127,000 doses. A second was held in August and collected 256,000 doses. Thank you to everyone who came out today and made the event successful.

As a volunteer for this event I want to clear up a misconception that it was a waste of resources. For the record, everyone who participated, even folks from Metro, volunteered their time. It was not a costly event. Also, according to Nevada statute only law enforcement can accept unused drugs and medications. It's unlawful for pharmacists to accept unused and expired drugs. Until the laws are changed, this is really the only choice we have to protect our kids from drug abuse.

My wife has been a devoted employee to the airline for a decade this year and unfortunately she will be a casualty. They've guaranteed her a trip to the unemployment office. It sucks. No I have to figure out how to afford medical insurance for her and our kids, because we'll be losing their coverage.

I'm an Inspirada resident. I agree that growth has been slow. It's expected given the current market conditions. People just need to be patient. Things will turn around. Frankly, I'm completely sick of these alarmist articles that paint a picture otherwise.

Living in the neighborhood has been great for us. We've met a lot of neighbors and we get together frequently for BBQs, etc. It's all about what you make of your neighborhood/community. I've lived in many neighborhoods in the valley and, despite the fact that it's still small, I've never lived in one as social as Inspirada. I lived in Silverado Ranch for a number of years and never met our next door neighbors. They never bothered to come out of their house.

Regarding the HOAs, I won't argue with the fact that they're strict. But it's for the better. That lady with the stupid, hideous angel statue on her front porch is a big joke in the neighborhood. Everybody knows that house. When we give directions to our house, it usually includes "turn left right after the house with the ugly statue."
