Legalize it. I'm convinced a lot of stress and subsequent illness can be resolved by partaking in it.

Last time I smoked was maybe 8 years ago. Was going through one helluva a medical ordeal. Smoked very little here or there for the medical benefits but quickly realized the stress of the ordeal was a compounding factor that was relieved with its use.

I was 205lb at a spring physical. Started feeling sick in August. I couldnt eat 2 bites of food without feeling nauseous and was down to 185lb. Doctor said if I lost anymore weight to come back immediately. I set an appt for October and checked in at 150lbs. Went through a ct-scan showed gastroparasis. Stomach emptying test, barium xray, ultrasound of my gall bladder, endoscopy, colonoscopy barium xray showed swollen lymphnodes in my gut....just stress stress stress. The MJ allowed me to gain back 8 pounds as I increased my appetite. Last test was a HIDA scan and it showed my gall bladder was dysfunctional. No stones just not working anymore.

Had Surgery on a Friday I was chowing down on Fajitas on Sunday.

I agree. It helps with my nerve damage I have from injuries while in the USCG. The two back surgeries didn’t help, but this does.

I just have to ask one question in this thread...What is a leader of a bird cult?

This might give you more information, I did some research a while back.

Hmmm...
Turns out there is a legit Birdman Cult on Easter Island.

"One of the most famous motifs on Easter Island is that of the Birdman, a therianthropic figure, half man and half bird, connected to cult events at the sacred site of Orongo. "

Apparently, people worship a religious figure named Birdman. If @BirdManDoomW claims he's the leader of the bird cult, what's he doing in Wilkesboro?

I know this is a southern weather forum but I’m feeling concerned about all the wildfires out west. I’ve got family living not too far from the Almeda drive fire in Ashland Oregon. They don’t live in its path but with work in Medford it may be impossible to make it to work due to that fire.

Edit: So apparently she can work from home but nonetheless I’m still concerned

I’ve been following it. It’s sad we are all cord cutters and miss this info these days. It’s very bad in areas over there and people don’t notice until the sun stops coming up everyday in San Francisco.crazy how far that ash is going and blocking the sun.

We need more data and $$ to tag birds to see if there some connection to winter storms. Tagging a large community of birds and their eating behavior. When, where, maybe week prior before a poss storm, could dictate on who sees advisory or warning criteria amounts or none.and weather is dynamic so if birds change their mind 2 days prior could we see any pattern in behavior

I have quite a few photos of the reflection pools also. It was interesting when I was there. Me and some other guys from FEMA wanted to tour the memorial so we got in line (the underground part wasn’t finished quite yet). Now NYC has a law against pocket knives and certain types of knives are banned and can constitute a felony if you are caught with them. NYPD was doing metal detectors and searches at the entrance for banned materials. I wasn’t aware of the knife law in NYC and I had a Benchmade Presidio tanto blade auto opening knife on a bet clip in my right front pocket. I was also carrying my Homeland Security badge and ID in my wallet. Other guys didn’t have their badges, but had their ID’s. They also had knives on them that were on the banned list. We get to the checkpoint and I throw everything from my pocket into a basket to be sorted through. The cop sees the knife and picks it up, pulls the button, and the blade flies out. He looks at me, looks back down at the basket where my wallet is open and the badge is showing. He asks, “You on the job?” To which I reply, “Yes.” He hands me my things, tells my to put the knife in my pocket without the clip, tells the guys with me to do the same, and sends us on our way. Nice guy and he didn’t have to do that. He could have arrested us all. He didn’t. That’s my perception of the NYPD from their actions with me at the 9/11 memorial.
 
So I made a political post on this thread because I could not find the political thread yet my post was deleted because I made a political post in a non-political thread. How am I supposed to make a political post if I can't find the political thread ?

This is a no politics forum now.. I think. And probably for the best.

I was like, 7 years old on September 11th? Lol. Still remember the day pretty vividly. It was a weird day in school, to put it mildly.

I was 32, and watched the entire event unfold on CNN.. utterly horrifying. Lump in throat anxiety all day... The flip from first tower hit and thinking it was just an accident, to the second tower was like out of a movie. Truly scary.

10th grade science class. The baseball coach ran into the class and turned the tv on and said a plane just hit the tower. We sat watching the tv the whole day. It was a crazy day.
 
I was doing some research this evening and came across this article. Here's food for thought...
