Alright, it's been a while, but here's my favorite recipe taught to me by an honesty to goodness boxcar riding hobo. It's called "egg burgers" Because you are poor as shit, you buy a stick of butter and a dozen eggs. A little cheese if you got the scratch. Put a pat of butter in your pan and...

No. It's definitely Morn. He's my favorite odd character in the Star Trek universe. I cleaned glass too, but only to play with the new FC187. I really hope I can not break this one for a while. It's the nicest I've ever had, and I think I have the water level dialed in now. Less water than I...

It's been a painful day and it was hard watching my wife watch me struggle after a week of more positive news and a few better days. We do have sleeping arrangements working better, but nothing perfect, and still not spending an entire night in the big boy bed with my wife. But we watched some...

I was ordering gadgets from Hong Kong sellers years ago. Back then, a calendar was the best way to calculate shipping times. I just ordered stuff and an international packet would arrive some weeks after I forgot about it. Although the new epackets linked to USPS from the start make everything a...

It is simultaneously awesome and odd that we have to even consider whether any kind of medicine can be taken on the plane.

I know it sounds like whining about Wonka's Candy Room being just a little smaller than I might have imagined, but selling a concentrate intended for oral/sublingual ingestion as something else entirely that could be vaporized/smoked is really bad news when the dispensaries are supposed to be...

I'm annoyed. I went to a new dispensary yesterday just to get the new patient special since I just wanted to buy a couple grams and a couple edibles for the weekend. Saw a syringe with a gram of CO2 oil from a new label that was cheap, so I bought it. there is no way in hell this is actual CO2...

I used to order all sorts of odd stuff from Hong Kong like bare LEDs for caving headlamp modifications, etc. Now it's cheap high quality bubblers. But one thing I have learned is to ignore any Chinese/Hong Kong tracking updates until the item is in the possession of your country's postal...

@CarolKing If I had a rocket powered backpack wing, I'd fly right past those people on their little wing walker tripods and yell something like "Wimps!" as I zoomed past. I'm awake, and as it is First Four-Twenty, I should be posting in the other thread, but I'm here so this will have to do...

I'm happy to have had three consecutive nights of sleep. But I'm mostly happy because I don't have to have another even more complicated back surgery. It's also night to have a monthly pain management appointment where I felt I was heard and that my ideas for caring my self were considered.

When I was five, I got mad the very first time somebody didn't let me win a game of CandyLand. Luck was on their site and they couldn't let me win if they tried. I got mad and threw the game board across the room and stormed out crying. My whole world in which I was always the winner had...

@momofthegoons it sounds to me like your diet "failure" probably amounts to nothing worth kicking yourself for. It does irritate the hell out of my wife that I can announce that I need to lose a couple pounds if the scale reports a higher than expected, because I'm usually able to just make a...

@Enchantre great job on the weight loss. I was always skinny. To the point that I was the tiny coxswain pilot for my high school rowing team at 120 pounds. I eased up to an adult weight of around 150. A decade in the bible belt eating fried green tomatoes bumped me up to almost 190. There was a...

I had Saint Bernards for over 20 years, and worked in Saint Bernard rescue for a good many of them. Four or more giant dogs, plus our cats, plus any foster dogs or cats used to be normal around here. Now we are down to just one last Saint, as they are just too big for me to physically manage...

@momofthegoons please don't forget that there is almost no diet in the world so restrictive that you cannot taste anything and everything you want. Go ahead and have one big forkful of that butter and syrup soaked cake. Unless there is an ingredient that is forbidden, the calories in a small...

I would be very interested to hear more about your tincture process, just in case you are doing something I don't know about. I have been experimenting with allowing a caramel to slowly dissolve under my tongue rather than eating it. Pain the last couple weeks has made it to difficult to tell...

@Enchantre We've been in search of the perfect bed for a long time. We are on our second Sleep Number air bed and have a firm memory foam mattress in the guest room. Plus the new cheap and thin memory foam twin on the floor for the futon sort of thing. My brother told me about a hospital bed he...

At 43 and married for a decade, admitting a childhood father figure was awesome isn't too much of a stretch. And I spent all of high school incorrectly outed as gay because I had an unusually close friendship with my best male friend. Girls that age are truly the most horrible creatures on...

Are snowmen an actual problem in the Middle East these days??? Sounds as absurb to me as an Eskimo pissed off about all the problems associated with coconut palm trees. Reminds of of my current favorite proverb: "Not my monkeys. Not my circus." I like to say this when I simply don't give a...

I made it to about 3am on the dog bed futon thing on the floor. I slept for a few hours, vaped some of that CBD oil, and then slept until 3. But it's been nothing but tears and hash oil the past hour and a half or so, and as First 4:20 arrives, I'm one broken dude. I see my pain doc first thing...
