excellent call.. bergamot gives a great orange-wood-spice as well. ?
These things are eerily used to people. I had one take a Twinkie from my hand a few days ago, and eat it next to me while I was smoking.
Well, at least you have options if the food supply gets interrupted! My Grandfather use to catch squirrels and muskrats during the Great Depression but he was only selling the hides of the latter.
We've had many a pot of groundhog or rabbit stew here. Needn't be a shortage to enjoy a childhood favorite!? Squirrels are good, just have to have too many of them to amount to anything.
I think that was what the original Brunswick stew was made from. People are too fussy with their meat these days... a pigeon to one person is a Cornish hen to another.
One day at a time Kevin. Just put all your effort into tasks you can tackle at the moment.
I don’t care how well adjusted anyone is we are all basically looking for distractions from the banality and more painful aspects of existence. It’s just a fact.
I just look for it in quiet and solitude. I missed my calling as a hermit.
He is good as he will prescribe all the Ativan I need which is a lot as I am dealing with some intense pressure due to virus but I still can't get any Secanol off him. That used to be the best at getting me to sleep as I have insomnia real bad for over 40 years. Secanol just recently came back on the market. I have been on Seroquel for years as it is both an anti psychotic which I am sure you can confirm I need, but it is also great for sleep. Problem for me is I am at highest does they can use. I really need a break from the Seroquel to hopefully re start it. He also gives me a low dose(15mg) of Remeron to go with Seroquel. What I take for sleep would put most humans into a coma and they ain't waking up.
I have taken I think every sleep drug out there. Stuff like Ambien doesn't work even at high doses. All it does is make you eat while you are blacked out. It is also a benzo so it is addicting. I was on Trazadone for a number of years but even at highest does it stopped working. I could go days with out sleeping and it would drive me crazy. My Neurologist hooked me up with a medicinal weed doctor and while it does help with my severe neuropathy it does nothing for sleep. I have tried their oils but my lungs cannot take that stuff.
I do have some real good doctors who care what happens to me and they are always willing to try things out of the box. It sucks getting old especially with a body that has been used and abused. My last sports related injury was to get bone spusr surgically removed off my right heel. All of my doctors told me to stop playing tennis but I wouldn't even consider it even when they told me they would have to fuse my back after the first 2 surgeries. My family was pissed at me as after the spinal fusion with all kinds of metal in me turned me into an invalid. They actually had the balls to tell me they needed to fuse my neck. I have severe stenosis throughout my body and there is nothing they can do but fuse bones together as they become useless. I had discs that had turned to jello and was bone to bone in y spine.
As shitty as it is not being able play the sport I love, I am really grateful for all the good things in my life.4 children ages 18-30 doing great. My oldest daughter just finished 4th in a class of 65 in her first year of law school and is clerking for a judge. My youngest son is killing it with a huge freight company that is busy as usual, my oldest son is in Cali working with a company that focuses on children and while he won't get rich he loves his job, and my 18 year old daughter is graduating h.s and is looking at options for work.
I am real close with them all and they are real close with each other. It makes me proud they are all good citizens who know what empathy and compassion mean. I told them early and often, only 2 kinds of people in this world, the givers and the takers and from my experience the givers lead much better lives.

Well based on the depiction of hermits on film and tv they are closer to the average age of posters here so you still have maybe 20 years to to fulfill your dreams...
Wish I lived in a state with a comprehensive medicinal marijuana program...doesn’t seem like with the state of the world now any legislation will be coming through anytime soon.
My Mom has very bad neuropathy, really drives her crazy. Have you tried the Topicin cream? Ha sorry given her a little relief.
yeah one of my personal ethics is I won't kill something to make a snack, a meal or several yes a snack no. Well just birds mammels and certain types of scaly creatures. I don't judge it just personally feels wrong for some reason.
me too for you. It's really amazing how much it can help people. Seriously the majority of time I've gone to the dispensary there have been so many old vets with W.W.2 caps on if I would have taken a picture you would have thought it was in some yuppie VFW post. Also the stuff helps with with much less problems then the stuff I could get prescribed in every state.
Yes, as much as I like alcohol can’t say it has any medicinal benefit. My Mom has been on OxyContin for some cancer related issues for 10+ years, only can imagine that cannabis could of had a more beneficial effect without all the potential pitfalls.
