[Unca Walt]

Forget what thread you're in, Walter?

Most ricky-tick thought I wuz in the basement. Jeez. Dump it or move it for me, willya?

 

[Tattered Old Graywolf]

@Big...I was thinking of moving. Now that you have a moving company.....help?

Maybe even provide a leg up by pouring your slab and hanging your roof even before you move into the new digs.

Uni was a good guy and a loss when he passed. Also a shock, because it was so sudden, and most of us didn't know he was ill.

Most didn't know he was bed ridden. Secret he shared with me.

Every time I see the title of this thread I think of the Rudolph tv show that has the Island of Misfit Toys. Does anyone else remember that?

Riding through the snow on a Norelco triple head shaver!

Do you know why Ron was bed ridden or what he died from?

WARNING!

RANT AHEAD



the older I get , the more I see this , some of it is funny , some not so funny

and most people don’t even realize what they are saying or doing when an ageism is expressed

but yeah , everyone , all ages , must not take themselves so serious and learn to laugh at themselves , this is a better way

the mean side of ageism is flat out ugly , most call it elder abuse , and it is as bad as child abuse , in my humble opinion



WHAT IS AGEISM?
In today’s world stereotypes run rampant, and biases based on age – like ageism – are becoming a more measurable problem.

Ageism is the discrimination against an individual strictly on the basis of their age.

Ageism is most often thought of as prejudice against older individuals, however there are forms of ageism that affect younger generations as well.

Ageism can appear in multiple areas of everyday life and take many forms.

Ageism discriminatory practices can appear in the workplace, the healthcare system, forms of marketing, and even online shopping.

Ageism in Hollywood

Ageism in Hollywood, or ageism in the media and press, is one of the most detrimental types of ageism because it changes how people around the world interact with one another.

If you watch movies or TV shows, or read books that include multi-generations interacting together, you will most likely find that there are numerous negative stereotypes.

These stereotypes include less-than-positive jokes aimed at older individuals and their competency to be able to handle common every-day situations, and that older generations should stay out of the way, and often off-screen for the majority of the entertainment.

This has a strong effect on how we all grow up. We are inundated with the belief that older individuals should not be present in our day-to-day lives, and that when they are they should be at the center of negativity and jokes.

We are learning stereotypes about older individuals every time we turn on the television or watch a movie.

Yer good. We all forget.

Forgive someone that's never eaten a button, but I was always told that it's the "skin" on the outside of the button that makes ya puke. Something about it being a strychnine like chemical. I was told to take a knife and peal 'em first.

I had a gal (remember the one that was going to take me with her to Woodstock?) bring me back two capsules of pure mescaline sulfate from her trip out west. Whoo, buddy.

I was told that about the fuzz in the middle too. Never could eat enough, didn't find it worth the trouble. Mescaline sulphate is very rare.

Can't remember the steps involved in refining, but I know it involved some sort of solvent, a separatory funnel, an chilling in the' fridge 'till the crystals precipitated. Most intense body buzz I ever had.
I was 14 or 15. I headed out to the woods, ate two caps, and smoked some weed. Shot the **** with a few friends. Two hours later, nothing. Went home. Sitting on the couch in the living room with the folks running around. I had some sand in between my sandal and my foot. I stuck my finger in to remove the sand and went into a total body orgasm. I quickly looked around to see if I'd been noticed. Nope. Booked it back to the woods and spent the next 4 hours or so getting the same rush from breathing too deep, rubbing the back of my arm, scratching my head, anything that stimulated any nerve endings. He ll of a day, I'll tell ya.

Alas street Mescaline sulphate around here was usually PCP and or Acid back in the 70's. You had to eat the button to be sure, and then they could be sprayed.

 

[user 60606]

I had a family member in '76 lace a J with pcp .. he denied he did it but I TOLD him murder could be in the air if I ever found out .. his exwife snitched on him later on in life and yes .. he's dead .. from old age and loneliness

 

[pute]

No, I had already been over here for about a year and it lost touch with him. Nobody from the Cabana said why or how he passed.

I picked up some sprayed dope once and what was supposed to be THC once, that both turned out to contain PCP. Loved the effects, but it was disconcerting and a little scary learning what it was. I learned on the "THC" after splitting a buy with a friend and having them seriously go off the deep end.

 

[user 60606]

yeah, pcp is elephant tranquilizer ..

I whomped up a batch of Jalapeno Lemonade for our upcoming hot spell and added the zest from the lemons into the syrup blend. I think it improved the flavor and is something you might try on your next run.

That’s a good idea. I’m gonna add the stems and seeds to the peppers too to get a more jalapeño taste. Maybe even add an additional pepper. I will make this again thru the summer. It’s very tasty and goes good with Tito’s

I understand it was developed originally to give women be during child birth. Wonder how that worked out?

I suspect that the answer lies in whether they continued to do so.....................................
