Ahhh... Now we are getting somewhere. I cannot touch alcohol now. But my absolute fave of any kind at all was Glenfidditch 18. Cost me @ $150 a bottle.

No water, no nuffin but sippin'.
Things change, I no longer drink mostly due to medications. I enjoyed the social part of drinking.
Now this old body wouldn't tolerate the after effects of drinking either.

Well - let the mood swing back towards the positive - I say - accentuate the positive even eh? -

So I decided to go for a slow walk along the Thames - and leave the confines of St Thomas's hospital - feeling a tad claustrophobic - medically speaking - so got changed into my walking attire - and headed for the main door - and the South Bank of the Thames area - with lots going on in wonderful weather - not too hot and not too cold - comfortable in a light jacket and t-shirt - passed by The London Eye - this great big wheel with viewing gondolas on it - and passed by 3 bridges - ending up around The South Bank Centre - watching youngsters skate in a skate park and others playing the bongo drums 🥁 and assorted other percussive instruments - called the Mrs on Wassap - and chatted with her while I was down by the river as Uberboats went by - on the way back stopped for a truffle burger at some out door restaurant - which was delicious - 😋 - then headed back to Babylon -
Trying to stay positive is all you can do now. I know it sucks. My mom died from covid 1.5 years ago at the age of 90. Before that we were always sitting at the hospital or doctors office. I learned to tune out and think about things that I like or was going to do when I got home. I know that sounds like bullshit advice but its all I got. 🤷

Oh yeah, I remember getting rubbed up against the fence or under a tree trying anything to knock me off. Sometimes it worked but I always got back on.
Must be a natural instinct. I've had calves and hawgs do the same thing when we tried to ride them.
I don't drink anymore.....I don't drink any less either. Sipping vodka at night, wine with dinner and a beer at the bowling alley.
I've drunk my share of wine, beer, and hard liquor and haven't actually quit drinking, but don't drink much or very often anymore. I've had one margarita so far this year and had a Modella Negro beer with Mexican food last year.

Do you find with older age your body does not metabolize alcohol like it did in the past and suffer from a hangover for a longer duration of time? Before I completely quit drinking in 2010 I found even a couple of beer would be felt the day after.

That's fantastic cept for the lost part even though that's always exciting in itself.

He looks like a good boy and you guys are made for each other.

My last boy Jo was a fighter(not by training, he just loved to fight). I spent a couple thousand bucks getting other people’s dogs fixed up because he would be fine one minute and young Mike Tyson the next so I am ready for a peacenik pup. One fight Jo had(he was undefeated😂), I stupidly tried to pry his jaws off of a big pit he was thrashing and he had another quarter inch of bite to go. Sliced my fingers clear to the bone. He immediately recognized what he had done and released my fingers and the other dog. He wouldn’t look me in the eye for a couple of days. I was angry with him but more at myself though it was a reflex that did it to me. Jo was great with people, not do much with dogs. I had never had a hostile dog before. I attribute it to bringing him to ‘doggy daycare’. He loved going at first but after a certain point would only go in begrudgingly. I spoke to the owner about it and she told me they had been putting him straight into a crate when he got there because he was humping other dogs. I read her the riot act telling her I brought him there to play and should have been informed that he was not getting what I was paying for. Never again.

It has been about 25 years since I drank more than two drinks and haven't had a hangover since then.

Interestingly, when I was in my late twenties, after about a year studying Kundalini Yoga and being a vegetarian, with no alcohol, cannabis, or drug forms of any kind. I tasted one sip of Australian red wine and the next morning could feel a subtle hangover headache.

I have read that in some areas clones can be excluded from plant count on the technicality that they do not contain much if any THC. I haven’t heard of anyone using that argument in a court but it may be a possible ‘out’ if you needed to plead ignorance.😂
Hmm, that may be although I can only speak to the rules in my state which is 2 plants in any stage of growth which means if I follow the law and want to get the best yield possible I have to grow one full sized plant (6-9 feet tall). Now that's based on keeping the other one as a Mother so I can get the next crop going as quick as possible. Now if I didn't worry about that then I could grow 2 plants full size for maximum yield but then I'll have a significant down time as I get two more going from seed and sexed and properly vegged for doing a full sized plant.

Now they did make some changes to the law because in the beginning before anything took effect they were saying only 2 plants with a combined yield of no more then half a pound, which is insane because if you know what you're doing when growing a full sized plant one plant could potentially exceed that weight limit. Also they were originally saying you could only grow indoor but they since expanded that to also growing outdoor but only on your property or the property of someone else who gave you their permission. Again though that weight limit would be insane because and outdoor plant ground well can yield more then an indoor one. So now they have it to where there is no weight limit on what you grow with your two plants but you can only have on your person 1.5 ounces above that then fines are imposed depending on just how much over the limit.

The outdoor growing doesn't interest me though because it would just invite theft and or mutilation by cats, unless I kept really tight security Of course there is also other worries that go with outdoors such as pests, disease and unwanted pollination. I would much rather grow indoors and now that it's legal I don't have to worry so much about odor control.
