    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Large quantities of drugs were found inside merchandise from at least two Home Depot stores in Massachusetts, and authorities are investigating, police said Wednesday.A contractor late last week discovered two 50-pound "bricks" of marijuana wrapped in plastic bags inside a bathroom vanity he had purchased at a Home Depot store in Tewksbury, said Chief of Detectives Lt. Dennis Peterson.The estimated street value of the marijuana is around $145,000, Peterson said.Similar incidents have occurred in other parts of the state.A plumber purchased a vanity in western Massachusetts on Monday in which he later found 3 kilograms of cocaine and around 40 pounds of marijuana, with a total estimated street value of $250,000, according to the Southwick Police Department.Southwick Police Lt. David A. Ricardi said the item was purchased at "a local hardware store" but would not confirm it came from The Home Depot.According to Peterson, a third individual discovered large quantities of illegal drugs inside Home Depot merchandise.Peterson would not provide the details of that incident but said it was part of the overall investigation and that Tewksbury police were working with their Southwick counterparts and the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).Tewksbury police and DEA officials conducted a search Tuesday of about 12 Home Depot stores statewide and found other bathroom vanities that contained drugs, Peterson said. He would not elaborate on how many drug caches were discovered in the search.In each incident being investigated by Tewksbury Police, all of the merchandise boxes originated from a Texas location and were distributed through one Massachusetts warehouse, Peterson said."I'm sure the packages were being shipped to the distribution center and someone was supposed to intercept them," Peterson said. "So that person [who was supposed to intercept the packages] either wasn't on duty that day or the packages were marked wrong."The Southwick and Tewksbury Police Departments both said The Home Depot was cooperating fully with their investigations, and no one employed by the company is a suspect at this time.Both departments also said none of the customers who purchased the vanities that contained drugs are suspects.In a written statement, The Home Depot said, "The company is cooperating with authorities as they investigate this matter, and we will support law enforcement in any way possible to help bring those responsible to justice."</div>http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/06/14/home.depot.drugs/index.html

I usually go to the Wal-Mart in Chelmsford at Drum Hill though, or the 24 hour one way up in Nashua, I don't go to the Tewksbury one that often.

I also play tennis like every day in Nashua in the summer and I play tournaments there. Haha I just go to spencers at the Rockingham mall and jack a few zippos, they're so easy to take.

I go to Pheasant Lane a lot, I don't go to Rockingham much though because that's further up. Ever been to Texas Roadhouse in Nashua? I f*cking love that place, I was there literally 5 days a week during the summer.

Now they're building one near my house, woooooooo. But the parts of Nashua that I have friends in is kind of the bad parts. I'm usually around there, or somewhere on the DW highway. Outside of those two places, I have no idea where the hell I am, since Nashua is so damn big.

    TRH is further up than Longhorn, never been to Longhorn but from what I've heard it's not as good. I've been to the TRH in Methuen and uhh Medford? Idk where the other one is, around that area, and the Nashua one is by far the best. Yeah Nashua's huge, I basically never leave the DW highway area, I just go up there with friends from down here so we just hit up all that sh*t and then peace. Not much else to do in this area sadly lol

    I don't know dude but I'm not complaining, I played ball at 2AM the other day in shorts and a t shirt and I was good, this weather's awesome. We're probably gonna get like 3 feet of snow next week though, you know how it is in New England.

I don't remeber a week that I've gone without wearing shorts at least 2 or 3 times, probably back to last winter. My friends, everyone at school, they're like "you're an idiot your wearing shorts again." My new generic respone has been "I'm from New England, I got ice in my veins, I'm only cold when its 20."

    Yeah I need pants too now that I think about it, I'm used to wearing shortsHaha definitely, wearing shorts when it's 30 out is nothing, that's how we roll. I played basketball a few years back in literally a blizzard, no shoes, no shirt, just shorts, that was definitely pushing it, but it makes wearing shorts on a day like today seem fine lol

    I know.. I was close to going out and shoveling in shorts today actually but I thought better of it only because I didn't want any snow to get in my boots. That pisses me the F*ck off when my socks get all cold and wet and sh*t. But yeah I'll rock shorts and a hoody any day of the week, and temperature.

    Yeah nothing sucks more than snow in your shoes, I hate that. I also have pussy hands, they always get cold before anything else, other than that, this cold weather's nothing.Can't beat shorts and hoody, gotta agree with you there.Where the F*ck are POTG and CB32 haha, we should just have our little NE discussions in the Celtics forum

    Whats worse about the snow is that it sucks driving in it. Like sometimes (unlike today, wooooooo), my mom wont let me go out when it snows because she doesn't trust me driving. Luckily I have a Jeep with 4 wheel drive, so I dont have it that bad, but one of my friends already got into an accident today, so sucks for them, hahahaa. I personally love driving in the snow though.
