Until everything is less insane, I'm mixing weed with wine.
Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
Yeah, I don't think that's a hot take. I feel like every strip center here has a nail salon, a vape shop, and some sort of ramen or pho place.

I believe he wasn’t talking about the cheap salt-engorged crap we bought at the grocery store during college.

Spoke to the father of the girl who passed out. Turns out it was a bit less dramatic than my daughter's telling. Father said she took a shot to the stomach (not the chest), it knocked the wind out her and she panicked, causing her to pass out. Doctors confirmed there was no heart issue. Still scary for the kids and coaches, but less scary for her to be on the field playing the next day.sancarlos wrote: ↑Wed Oct 25, 2023 10:06 pmI’m guessing some parent will mention his response to the authorities.The Sybian wrote: ↑Wed Oct 25, 2023 9:46 pmOrrrr, their first game of the State Championship tournament is tomorrow. Yeah, he’s a real piece of work. It did sound like he was in shock, and that’s what really freaked my daughter out.

There's a ramen place a mile or two from us. It is meh. There's another totally on the other side of Denver. Fan-fucking-tastic.
The really good Thai place near us was a victim of the pandemic, at least we have a +Indian place down the street.
and I was rather blah about Ramen until I had spectacular ramen when I was in London. I've been trying to recreate that high.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Mint is shutting down, and it’s pushing users toward Credit Karma
I'm pretty certain I first learned about this app from this board and I've used it ever since. Over time it has gotten worse and keeps pushing me to pay for little things here and there.
I guess I'll move to Credit Karma unless I can find an app with the same functionality.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
An old folks home is one of the beat places to be stoned. Highly suggested. With any investment lucka an a few prayers I'll be able to do that in 30 years with or without the weed.

Getting text alerts for your father-in-law's heart surgery (instead of his daughters because you're the one picking him up later, which...) is a bit too "watching your troubled plane land on the news from the plane" for me.

I was a wreck when my wife had surgery a couple years ago and it was just something with her septum. I can't imagine this kind of worry.

Better than text alerts for his colonoscopy? Or maybe not.
Hope everything goes well.

If people cooked steak and chicken as badly as they cook broccoli and brusselsprouts, we'd be vegetarian. Had this thought this morning, felt like the only right place to put it.

Look I definitely deleted that last one and put it in the Culinary Hot Takes thread, I'm a little out of practice.

Went to check on spring break dates and my wife changed the email for my Delta miles. Talked to her and apparently she used my fucking points to go to Cancun for a wedding. I'm going to jail when I see her

It might be cheaper to just pay for your spring break tickets.

So...today I learned that 'Jackie Blue', by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, is sung by their drummer, Larry Lee.

I saw them my freshman year of college in a gymnasium in my hometown. They were really good!

They have a Pure Prairie League meets Atlanta Rhythm Section dabbling in Little Feat vibe to them. They know how to write a hook!

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
And the reason I'm including Little Feat in that amalgamation is the lead guitarist's slide work in Jackie Blue. That's just haunted. Good stuff.

Starting month 3 of ADHD meds (generic adderall) - hadn't really noticed much of an affect the first few months - but after skipping it on Sunday and forgetting to take it yesterday - took it today and...oh, yeah. Now I get it. Huge difference.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
I was on generic Adderall for a bit, I found it made me edgy and I could feel it ramping me up. I also had zero temper, like I could snap before I even felt annoyed and couldn't feel it coming on. Quickly switched to Mydayis which had all the help concentrating with none of the speediness or rage issues. Problem with that, after several months I felt like I adjusted to it, and taking the drug became my former baseline. Doctor failed to tell me not to take it every day, but at most 5 days a week. Then I felt like my work days were my old normal, and weekends were a fucking slog. I felt like I was in a haze and by 3:00 pm I couldn't stay awake no matter how much coffee or energy drinks I pounded. Eventually quit cold turkey and after a week or two, I feel ok without it. I don't think I can concentrate as well, but I don't want to feel stuck taking it all the time, and those weekends off the med were brutal.tennbengal wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 9:56 am Starting month 3 of ADHD meds (generic adderall) - hadn't really noticed much of an affect the first few months - but after skipping it on Sunday and forgetting to take it yesterday - took it today and...oh, yeah.

I'm not quite Jessie on Saved by the Bell on caffeine pills hyped today but...definitely feeling the rush. Gave me the boost to fire off my usual bevy of most popular answers to Ryan for swampcrash.
