There was something the other day that I knew I just needed to add to this thread. Now I can't remember what it was. That just irritates me to the nether regions. | ||

Look back through the thread, maybe you already posted it? I looked back just now and I complained about the same thing twice! | ||

Cashier being intentionally slow would be my gripe. Like the jerks who walk across a busy street crosswalk like they own it on a slow holiday. Just a selfish inconsiderate power trip. What's worse, a drug dealer laundering his "earnings" or the fact that Americans have accepted the idea that govt should be able to monitor and regulate our bank deposits? Dear fellow Americans: Jump out of the damn pot! It's fixin' to boil you alive. How about decriminalizing recreational drugs and getting the govt out of our shorts? | ||

>>>>or the fact that Americans have accepted the idea that govt should be able to monitor and regulate our bank deposits? Could not agree more. I did a fairly significant transaction last year. I was told . . . you need a $xxx down payment . . . so I brought it with me. They went catatonic and essentially . . . the cash was worthless and I had to have a traceable flow of funds from an account to their hands. Mattresses . . . . are just for sleeping again. The feds, and their "war on drugs", have slowed the use of marijuana about as effective as Rahm Emanuel has reduced gun violence in Chicago. Government builds highways fairly well and does a nice job at wars . . . beyond that . . . well, the struggle. | ||

the trick is...that's about ALL a government is supposed to do. 1. protect its land and its citizens (borders), and actively defend said borders and citizens as needed 2. enable citizens to prosper 3. keep citizens safe (which is kinda tied into #1). That's ALL. But, it's the overreach for lines 2 and 3 that gets the government in too deep in our lives. Protect us from ourselves through seatbelt laws, emissions requirements, EPA rules and regulations, etc. Need to get back to basics. | ||

A few years ago I was pulling $15K out of the bank in cash. I was fully aware that the personal banker would as what the purpose was. I managed, with a straight face to reply "drugs and small arms". He held his head in his hands and said he can't put that down as my answer. So I told him it was for a car. I probably should have specified a DeLorean, but I didn't think that far ahead. | ||

They went catatonic and essentially . . . the cash was worthless and I had to have a traceable flow of funds from an account to their hands. I went to California and tried to get a room with cash. My goodness. I had to go put the money in a bank before I could check in so they could take it out of my debit card. That is over stepping. Look back through the thread, maybe you already posted it? I have posted the same thing more than once. I have to put chemicals down for ants today. I wonder how that will effect me. The feds, and their "war on drugs", have slowed the use of marij....... Weed should be treated like alcohol at the most. I don't have a problem with getting impaired drivers off the highway. I'm not advocating more taxes, but it would be nice to regulate strains so that a person knew what they were about to consume. There are differences just like beer, wine, bourbon, etc. | ||

Oh, no, not weed snobs! I've had enough of the beer snobbery; jeez, it's beer, for Christ's sake! | ||

How about a THC number? | ||

It's not just hemp. Some gives you a headache. While other makes you loose control of bowel movements and you hallucinate. It is not about snobbery my kind sir. It is about knowing what you can smoke a pack of and the stuff you have to be seated before taking a wee little toke. Benedril, melatonin, and tylenol are all just over the counter meds. They are different though. The great disservice done has been the lack of testing to know exactly what may be legalized. There was a seed bank in Holland where growers used to order seed from. Over a hundred strains and every one producing different results. And not just flavors. Please do not lightly scoff at what appears to be snobbery. I assure you it is not. It has to do with safety. | ||

RD's on the right track. There are many good things that marijuana can do, and yes, it can be overdone too. We are using CBD oil for our little furry buddy, it seems to be reducing the frequency of his seizures. CBD lacks the THC component, just providing medicinal help. My dear late aunt fought cancer twice- the second go-around she was prescribed Marinol. She hated it, the pill dosage just knocked her out. Smoking weed a toke at a time allows for moderation of dosage. Provisions were made to remedy her situation. | ||

Good points, my most recent experience is from 45 years ago. Regarding "have to be seated", let me give you a Court-like, "remind me to tell you about." | ||

"Things That Bug The Living **** Outta Me" Ticket scalpers.... I put them beneath human traffickers, (but just barely). Scalpers and their evil tool the buybot have destroyed the experience of waiting in a line for the box office to open, hanging out with people NOTHING like you, but for the fact they like the same band you do. That was some of my life's greatest exposures to multiculturalism, tolerance, and understanding, (and way more fun than diversity training). Scalpers have driven the cost of an arena show to ridiculousness. What cadre of sixteen year olds has $250/seat to burn, so they can all take their sweeties to a real rock show as a group? "Oh you want your seats together? that's another 50 each". Scalpers, I hate 'em.. The only thing worse than them is the elected slime that voted to make scalping legal. rant ends... | ||

I hate every male pig, big and small, who stand in a public bathroom to pee on the seat and walk away without a care. They have urinals for you, or are you afraid someone will see your tiny weenie? I don't like to be cruel, but I wish upon them a digestive disorder that would make them need to use said devices frequently.....and sometimes rapidly. I have cleaned toilet seats all over the South East as a truck driver, wherein I thought my job was to drive truck, not be a janitor. Owning a truck became truly a shit job. I sold it for this and a multitude of other reasons. | ||

As a janitor in a candy factory who cleaned the bathrooms, I can tell you first hand that women are nasty in the toilet room as well! Intentionally nasty, very intentionally nasty!!! | ||

...bathroom rant... Rather hand washing rant. Seriously, how hard is it to stop and wash your hands after groping yourself and wrangling the last bit of pee out of that sudsy yellow nozzle? I've publicly shamed several people over the years, most of them at the Sharks games. I walked directly up to a group of folks getting ready to shake hands with a guy that just left a steamer in a stall and wiped his hands on his jersey as he walked out of the bathroom, avoiding the sink. I politely (as possible) mentioned that he forgot to wash his hands to the group and they all let out a big EEEWW! and would not touch the guy. Etennuly: I am with you. I asked HR to send out a company email, "reminding" people about bathroom etiquette. They actually sent out the old line: If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seaty. lol! When I worked for Supermicro, I was actually surprised to see signs in the bathroom telling people NOT to squat on the seat, but to sit on it...  | ||

I miss the old "Don't Squeeze the Charmin" guy. Hate the "Snuggle" bear too. Here's a couple of oldie/goodies... OH SHIT!!! This is a NEW one!!! | ||

This thread has really gone to sh*t. Can we clean it up before it gets wiped out? | ||

Ourdee mentioned over the counter drugs. The fact is that many of them are irreversibly damaging to your body. My nephrologist has very strong opinions about pain killers like Advil. He says they will destroy your kidneys. Guess what I have used for YEARS in my battle on joint pain at the recommendation of my primary care doctor. | ||

As far as I'm concerned, the less you take the better off you are. Too much water will kill you. Too much oxygen, heat, cold, work, food, you name it. Best pain medicine I ever found was a motorcycle ride at 40 degrees. I don't cut corners on soft plush T.P. The good stuff wipes you cleaner. (Message edited by ourdee on December 14, 2018) | ||
