I'm pretty sure I might not have made it back from that. That feeling of bliss and contentment, I can only imagine. Needles and snorting white powder would have never worked for me, even back in the day. But taking big, long, lung bulgers of opium and getting that feeling of _total_ bliss and contentment, is not something I'm sure I could have stopped.

And I'm not even thinking about the "reach-arounds" yet, which is uncharacteristic of me.

Well - I wasn't doing many pipes of opium per day - I paced myself - because raw smoked opium is kinda heavy on the lungs - and I saw many Thai men who were seriously hooked on the 'O' - and were doing 15 or more pipes per day of that thick black tar-like heavy ineibriate as opium is - and they were opium junkies to the point of it being kinda sad that they couldn't quit - and it was hindering - and not helping them in life - they were falling down and falling apart -

I took it - 3 or maybe at most 6 pipes a day for me - would do a session of 5 - 6 pipes in a 2-3 hour period - at the same - same time as entertaining the fine ladies - as they were entertaining me - with all of their skills taught to please a man - that place and the gals that inhabited it were like a huge magnet to me - and I was the ferous metal - that could not deny that eletro-magnetic pull and force they had over me - candy to a baby - and to top it off with being completely stoned on 'O' at the same time - yup - it was so so hard to leave that place - Shangri-la - La-la-land -

When I was there - was in the early 80's - and I wonder what the place is like now -

I’m all up for a BD party. What are champers?

Champagne.

Ow-strilians pronounce it "shampers". Dunno how the Brits do it.

Well - it's better than Yankees with SCURVY eh? - me luv's me citrus - Mmmmm!

While we are on the subject of Brit food... Herself and I were driving through Wales early-early one morning, and we were famished. We saw a road sign touting Roman ruins and turned to find them.

But right there on the corner was a restaurant or whatever Brits call them. We parked and walked over, but it looked sorta deserted. We went in, and they really weren't open yet, but like all Brits they were very nice to us and had us sit down. They said they would have breakfast in a minute.

Yikes. In no time, out came huge plates for us. Sausaga (bangers) and mash. Eggs (perfect)... Wait. It looked like this. The finest breakfast I have ever had in my life:

Alot of the Thai men who used opium would crush a Bayer aspirin and mix it into the opium - then smoke it in a long opium pipe - they thought that it would prevent headaches or something - one of the weirdest concoctions I've ever seen - and I wasn't into that - I mean - eh smoking aspirin - no thanks -

Kinda feels good to reminisce - and its also good to exercise the memory in older age - even if you are running s 486KB hard drive from the early 1980's - and have had to delete memories - to be able to store newer ones in their place - because you have no space left - and find it difficult enough trying to access those long lost memories of the past - as it is -

Speaking from very recent experience: You can buy one dollar short of ten thousand dollars using fiat pulled out of your pocket.

Above ten thousand, you stay at the same "no report" for any purchases you may want to make by using a Cashier's Check.

BTDT.

Never bought over $9K using cash in 35 years of stacking.

Where are you buying silver at down here in the swamps?

I got a .44 Mag Centennial (mine says "Yorktown"). I shot it enough with 240gr Hydra-Shok to see where it shoots. But at $16.50 for a wheel load, it is now a house pet.

Loading my own is the only way I was able to shoot regularly.

For three or four-around here.

It feels like spring in Central Massachusetts but it is supposed to get cold again. The turkeys feel the spring vibe too. View attachment 18976162

I just watched about 8 turkey's walking down our street(backs up to BS reservation. What got me was 2 adult males in one flock. Next time I will try to get a picture...

Same here, no alcohol, was essential for my hepc cure, no hard drugs, pot only now.

I remember an interview with David Bowie not long before he died. When asked about the drug days, he smiled with a far away look and said that he really couldn't recommend it to anyone, but wouldn't trade those days for anything. I understood completely.

I too did every drug in the PDR and lots that weren't...got hepC in '72 and finally got the harvoni cure about 10 years ago...the disease caused my cancer to form and luckily I had early warning so we got it cut out...tough days back in the 70's...BTW, Bosco has returned with Ivan hot on his tail running him back to the pen...

Rubbing thumbs and point fingers together. Using both hands so y'all will have stereo!

[Potads]

Just reading through this thread and i must applauded you all for making me feel young haha!

 

[Drifting13]

I danced with the devil too.

And most of us have talked with g-d more than a few times...

 

[Putembk]

I have 3 plants hanging and 3 others curing in jars..... reloaded....in a different kind of way!

Getting ready to take cuts for the next round. Blueberry x Fire OG.....High Chew and Bruce Banner.....4 of each. That will keep me busy this summer. Will take the best two of each and cull the rest.

Sooo overfertilizing something my dumb stoned ass has never done.
Working with something I don't normally work with but was willing to give it a try instead of having all them bags of ferts sitting around.

So am I better off flushing or replanting them in different soil?

 

[OleReynard]

So should I wait and see extent of damage or be proactive. It might not be that bad but I'm not lucky enough for that shit

 

[OleReynard]

Hey somebody's gotta put horticulture content on this thread.
