Yeah... and it's not just Boomers. Us Gen-X'ers had that fried egg shit *burned* into our brains in the 80's.
I still blame Nancy Reagan.
for me, i'm just trying to be a responsible parent.Yeah... and it's not just Boomers. Us Gen-X'ers had that fried egg shit *burned* into our brains in the 80's.

Look at you, Mr. Responsible.
My point is - we give very little thought into tossing back 2 or 3 high-ABU IPA's, but for some reason, 20mg of Indica seems irresponsible.
Well, in my case, 20mg of Indica would turn me into a zombie right quick.
When I was on furlough, it was a shockingly nerve wracking experience to walk into a dispensary, show my government issue ID, pay money, and receive a receipt, for weed. Like cold sweats and butterfly's in the stomach, panic inducing. Couldn't help but feel like the place was going to get raided any second. Everybody wearing masks didn't help in the slightest.Yeah... and it's not just Boomers. Us Gen-X'ers had that fried egg shit *burned* into our brains in the 80's.

Such an odd time.
lol my wife made us stop at one on the way home from maine. kids were on screens in the back and didn't even notice where we were when "mom ran in to use the bathroom"
kinda working, kinda helping the 11yo paint his room, kinda having a lunchbeer.

Strange stigma still eh? Fine to stop at the beer store, but the weed store is uncomfortable with kids/fam around...
it's almost like cheating.When I was on furlough, it was a shockingly nerve wracking experience to walk into a dispensary, show my government issue ID, pay money, and receive a receipt, for weed.

my kids are 4 and 6.
lol my 15yo is so in his own world that we were watching something the other day and he heard the phrase "marijuana gummies" and he almost gave himself a hernia laughing so hard.
So... what did she get??lol my wife made us stop at one on the way home from maine. kids were on screens in the back and didn't even notice where we were when "mom ran in to use the bathroom"
no clue. i have zero interest...i'll stick with mah beers. our 11yo asked what was in the box in the fridge the other day and i told him "some of mom's herbs"So... what did she get??
Yeah, I don't think it'd be worthwhile. Too many flashback scenes and characters that wouldn't make sense to you.
Although it's not as good of a show overall I think Falcon and the Winter Soldier would stand alone better.
Going to look at a couple of ramshackle bungalows that need piles of maintenance, yet are still listed for half a million dollars, later this afternoon.
Buy a house, they said...

Today, during business hours, they decide that its a good time to cut the power in the office area. They informed everyone yesterday afternoon.
So we roll around to today and before the scheduled cutoff time, I shut all of the IT equipment off.
They cut the power and the lights don't go out. okay...
Get a phone call after saying "yeah so we don't know where the power is coming from, but you can your thing now and turn everything back on".
What a mess.

Yeah - well you don't even like to drink water, so pipe down, Old Man!
Nope and NOPE.
as a "late" breeder, I've had the advantage of witnessing a variety of my college friends approaches to drugs/alcohol education and their kids...
I find it curious that more than a handful of them have "exorcised" their deviant (college) ways from their narrative history, in hopes that their children avoid black out drinking / experimentation.
On the contrary my kids know what kind of beer I like, and I am sure oldest probably has a good idea what's going on re: that skunky smell, tho' vaping minimizes that to some degree.
I tend to think that a harms reduction approach makes the most sense, as not all drugs are created equally -- caffeine has more severe (physical) withdrawal affects than the devil's cabbage.... Huffing paint isn't a long term drug of choice
On the other end of the continuum, I have a psychiatrist hippy friend who takes Ketamine with his patients and whose eldest (a junior at CSU, I believe) kept his "fancy" RooR bong behind the TV in their family room (and once found / took the parent stash of XTC when he thought it was a different drug*) so YMMV
*Teach your children to identify pills on the internet BEFORE taking them.

Yup. We chose to demystify booze with our kids... which seems to have worked, 'cause they are definitely more responsible as college-aged dudes than I am currently.
And the youngest, we like to (sorta) joke, is the *most* responsible person in our family.
My wife doesn't want weed around while there are kids in the house (also an 80's fried-egg child), so I keep that on the way-down-low.
Do not do...
overall i agree with the approach of awareness and education. my kids just aren't old enough to comprehend it yet. but they do know that daddy likes beer and mommy likes wine.
Update: now 5" of water in the basement and still rising. Rain continues to fall heavily.
no sump pump?
Two sump pumps actually, one of which is disconnected. The working sump is doing its best, but cycling every 20 seconds at the moment. The disconnected sump feeds into a cistern in the backyard, which also has a pump, which is also disconnected, cause it has a habit of tripping and the whole thing backs up into the basement.
It'd a haphazard, poorly designed system that fails frequently and will require a good amount of work to fix. My FIL for some reason has time to fuck with it endlessly, but never time to work on a permanent fix.

Good sign - it's almost noon and the wife is still wearing her fleece jacket. May get through the hottest part of this week sans A/C...
Gotta get the Golden place sold to be "cash-heavy"... working on it.I think I

And while he says "cash" what he really means are short-term interest bearing assets...
As a European I also think this is odd. Well, the Swedes do it too, but they are also a little crazy.
ugh, this interview is a GRIND. One more hour to go. I think my decision is clearer though, so at least I've got that.
What has higher return... avocado futures or porn?And while he says "cash" what he really means are short-term interest bearing assets...
Yeah - this is a state thing 'round these parts. We in Colorado are within the Sphere of Mormon (though far enough away that is weakened) so we have stupid beer/wine/liquor rules. Not as dumb as some *other* states, but... still pretty dumb.As a European I also think this is odd. Well, the Swedes do it too, but they are also a little crazy.
Washington got rid of liquor stores. Then grocery stores found out people liked stealing liquor so now it is all locked up and a bigger pain in the ass than having to go to a liquor store.
And this is why we can't have nice things...
Just had my annual "US currency is failing, CPI is a political fraud, we should move everything to hard assets' BIL. He doesn't seem to grasp the concept of PE firms using leverage to buy houses to rent, as they are being treated effectively as buying bonds using leverage, but at incredibly low rates. Instead it's all buying hard assets' to protect against the eventual market and currency collapse. Fucking hell...
Fucking hell...
