I really appreciate this thread @Vicki.


I'm having some surgery on Thursday and I think it's getting to me. I keep thinking so trekking through FC is a great diversion for me.

Went shopping and bought some Indicas for pain and anxiety. I can't allow my anxiety to get out of control.

Hey miss Carol, how did your surgery go? I hope everything went well and you're pain is under control.

We are a funny animal.
I don't care what you say and you can't make me .
You can agree with me and tell me I am right and that is OK.

 

[CarolKing]

Yes I had my surgery. Luckily the pain didn't get too much out of hand. I took my pain pills faithfully every four hours the first two to three days. The fog is lifting. I hate the feeling of pain pills. They are a lifesaver when you need them. Thanks for asking.

“I have lived in the pursuit of a vision, both personal and social.
Personal: to care for what is noble, for what is beautiful, for what is gentle: to allow moments of insight to give wisdom at more mundane times.
Social: to see in imagination the society that is to be created, where individuals grow freely, and where hate and greed and envy die because there is nothing to nourish them.

These things I believe, and the world, for all its horrors, has left me unshaken.” — Bertrand Russell

Glad you came through it ok! I hate the feeling the pain pills give me too.

Isn't a person who is a "Instagram Model" just someone who takes pictures of oneself?
I have seen several 20 year olds described as thus.

A very disappointing black Friday for me in the UK.

Both Vapefiend and Nemastavapes seem to have put their prices up at some point before today, so they can slap big discounts on to fool people...

Vapefiend have the evo and eq in the black Friday section, both for the same price a paid for them, 6 months and a year ago respectively...

I expect this from Nemastavapes, but not Vapefiend.....

Is black friday just mugging idiots now???
I got a flowermate for 30 quid a year ago...

Black Friday in the UK is about as white as the 'Fucking Artic', in winter! The deals are non existent, at least on the items I want!

Amazon deals.....not so much. Used to go to brick and mortar to see and touch and then would go to Amazon for reviews and lower price purchase. Lately I'm finding that Amazon isn't always lower and that Walmart can be the lower price. Fortunately I have a Walmart grocery store a few blocks away so I shop online and have them ship it to the grocery for free.

Groupon...better check the reviews for their items. That half off electronic item is half off because it only works half the time.

 

[Squiby]

That half off electronic item is half off because it only works half the time.

And that depends on which half you bought....

In bringing this next seg to the Community; I'm gonna mention both Dylan Harper & Marriah Star.

The piece below is a variation of a theme, but it makes for a nice Sunday morning read (well any day to be fair) Enjoy, for those who are not ready or opposed to the vibration, I'd say, just take it as food for thought, it kinda goes down well with a pinch of salt!!

At 2nd level of consciousness you are surprised by the fact that money and shopping no longer make you happy ...

Guess I'm still working on level 2. Just picked me up a DDave mod for my milaana, a short stem and extra caps for my air (the caps work on the milaana 18 mm stems too) and a back up adjustable stem for my nano. And I feel all kinds of happy.

 

[Ricardo]

So, all this Mindfulness and meditation that's floating around... It's gotta be like That 70s Show, right? They can't show the kids getting blazed, or say it... but we all know it, right? Or have I got it all wrong? I've been trying it a bit recently somtimes straight (mornings), sometimes spaced (evenings) and I know I'm feeling that radiant warm golden sunlight filling up my body way more often after vaping

 

[grokit]

I'm wondering about how long cannabis seeds can retain their vitality at -11°f.
It's not easy information to find. I'm just curious

 

[thisperson]

Just a random thought, but I wonder if that dude who was arguing against climate change was aware that around 50 percent of the co2 in the environment is actually stored in the oceans. And the same principles which makes composites work, namely bringing forth a property not seen in either individual constituent but together they display this property, are applied to the environment. A little dose of yeast goes a long way, I'm paraphrasing Jesus here.

 

[t-dub]

Man made climate change, or anthropogenic global warming, is not science. It is a political agenda. True science works on the fact that if the data does not support your conclusions then your hypothesis is negated and reworked into a more fruitful line of study. But not in climate "science". They keep changing the raw data to fit their ideas. No climate computer model has ever come close to predicting real world temps. Why? Because they "adjust" the data making the past cooler and now warmer. I will give you one, glaring example, that was just published recently . . .

ALL of the computer models ever since this thing started are exactly the same. Not ONE computer simulation has come close to the raw data results. Why? Because they are fudging the data to keep the $$$ coming in.

Anyone remember the emails that were released that PROVED that the Micheal Mann/Gore hockey stick graph was faked?

The laws of thermodynamics were Einstein's favorites because he believed they would be the most unshakable laws of the universe.

Well, if you believe the climate nuts then the laws of thermodynamics must be ignored. Its simple. What you are trying to tell me is that 0.012% of the atmosphere is not only driving the temp of the rest of the atmosphere BUT also driving the temp of 350 million cubic miles of ocean, at an average of 40F, and 600 billion cubic miles of earth at an average of 2000F.

Another thing amateurs miss is that water vapor is the #1 greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, holding 96% of the heat, and without it we would all die.

 

[grokit]

What I know is that it's been cold as hell up here lately. We've had some cold novembers, but overall our winters have been unseasonably mild over the last few years. I do think the el nino/la nina dynamic is affecting our climate more than any macro model is, thus I think it may get colder again this winter.
