Ugh! Ack- Ack -- Oh!-- why does that hurt ?? Morning All ! I was alittle lit last night !-- Any vet who served where they have rice paddies probably was exposed to hepatitis and who knows what else!-- when human do-do is used to fertilize crops for human consumption -- this and worse is what happens ! I could have been exposed in Korea , they do the same thing !-- I'll never know !-- over 20 years scrubbing for surgery I got stuck with dirty needles -- stabbed with a dirty knife, splashed in the eyes with blood and other body fluids at least a dozen times I went to the E.R. for a gammagobulin shot as a precaution !-- I feel Lucky just to still be alive ! When U assist on surgery for AIDS patients -- U best better know your stuff or U a walking deadman !

 

[MR1]

Did you fall asleep on the recliner like I did Keef, that is why I am up so early, it is starting to become a habit .Time for a puff I guess. :48:

 

[yooper420]

Better late then never to wake and bake. Coffee and a bowl for breakfast. What better way to start the day ?
keef,
We picked `em up off the street, outta wrecked cars or wherever they crashed, got shot or stabbed and shipped `em to the E.R. Did this before the advent of "universal precautions".

 

[bozzo420]

KEEF did you know that they used Agent orange in Korea? Also on some marine bases in the States. check it out you may be covered .See a VA rep. Golman I went through the hep-c treatment back in 99 . been virus free since. When I started on the fire dept., we never had plastic gloves. Auto wrecks were pretty bloody sometimes. then the shooting and stabbings and baby deliveries.


ok back to the crop. I'm down to 5, 2 critical Kush came down a little mold on a few sugar leaves and they were close. had a little white on the 2 remaining outdoor ones yesterday. obsessions. they are not done, so I sprayed with peroxide and water. That's all I'm using from here on in. Works great. No white at all this morning. They are packing on the weight now. But the one giant Chernobyl is my favorite. never got the stuff.

keeping the water off them and adding more fans really helped. I have 4 fans running now. 2 in greenhouse and 2 outdoors. and its been raining so much, I'll just leave the cover on top of them.

 

[giggy]

morning folks, slept in. hope everybody has a great day.

 

[giggy]

the wife pocked a muscle relaxer down my throat yesterday evening. man them things make me stupid, got up feeling a little drunk but doing better. i had been about 3 months since i had the tremors last. i hope they stay away for awhile again. gonna talk to my doctor tuesday about it. we discussed it before but he didn't have no test run. the essential tremors run in my family, my mom has it and grandmother had em too, so the doctor said you do to without testing. the day before yesterday they were so bad i couldn't hardly write. at any rate the day is starting better and i hope it stays that way.

agent orange is still around, now its called Roundup

 

[giggy]

i was in the navy a little behind you guys but it seemed like everyday in boot i got one or two shots for something. there is no telling what all, all of us were exposed to. you army boys where probably around more then i, but i was around some radioactive stuff and a lot of chemicals while in. i worked in the engine room but when we took on stores or anything else they called on the engine room and fire room for workers. back then we were all young and bulletproof, little did any of us know what was going to happen in later years.

 

[bozzo420]

when I first got out, my first girlfriend 's mother was a nurse. I remember asking her why my toes were always numb. She said it was probably circulatory problem. I was 21. So I never thought much about it. finally associated it with agent orange. Neuropathy is the only thing that you had to report with in 2 years of discharge.
last year I saw the state road guys spraying along the freeway to kill off the trees growing up. and I just shook my head. Don't we ever learn.

 

[Keef]

MR1- woke up with my face feeling like it was on fire !-- wish I could have fallen back asleep in my chair but that wasn't gonna happen today !-- better now ! Maybe a nap later ! I'm sorry guys but I stay as far away from the VA as I can get ! Doctors in general !-- if I can successfully treat my problems myself I will ! I got good ankles, knees, hips and a good right arm ! Sometimes the left arm even works O.K. - good heart and lungs -- no need for regular meds now that I'm off the morphine and muscle relaxers !-- 7 + years an addict was enough !-- I was down to 105 pounds soaking wet !-- back up to almost 170 again ! I have bad days but so does everyone else ! If I could just motivate myself to move more , I could probably feel even better !-- I'm a lazy man these days !

Got turned down by the VA earlier this year on Neuropathy in my feet, on my hearing and on my R.L.S. Said had to report it within 2 years. Do take Requip XL for the R.L.S., can`t function without it. Just like the Hep-C virus, takes 30-40 years to manifest itself. The VA ? They screw more vets then they help.

 

[Beemer]

Good morning weed everyone. I was lucky to go into the Navy. My draft number came up and I joined. I wasn't about to go get shot at or shot someone if I could avoid it. What the hell is the two year thing. Good grief. The rich that want to get richer send us to war and then forget us. After I got out I moved from good old South Dakota out to Seattle and took Horticulture for 3 years. They never taught you to stay away from the chemicals, just said this is what you have to do. I sprayed so dam many weeds and bugs in the field of work with hardly any protection it's funny I'm alive. I spilled 5 gallon of this chemical called Norton all over me once from head to toe. I was lucky and didn't get it in my eyes or I would be blind. I stopped using all nasty sheet about 3 years ago. Finally got smarter. Nobody cares except yourself. I slept in also so it's time to wake and bake. Happy Skunkday

 

[Keef]

R.L.S. manifested itself after my fall -- feel for U Cuz !-- no wonder U have trouble sleeping ! Since I been eating weed it has vanished !-- I mean gone ! Pain is better !-- even the mind is settling down some !-- I should be dead or paralyzed !-- I can live with a few bad days !-- The judge who over ruled both sides at my disablity hearing and decided that I could fold clothes (sometimes) I wasn't disabled at all -- I could get a job folding clothes !-- Plan on making a little run to the cemetary one day soon to pee on his grave !-- he commited suicide a year or so ago !

 

[Keef]

One day Runs With Scissors (my wife ) came home with a newspaper with the report of the judges suicide -- made me look in her eyes and swear I had nothing to do with it or knew anything about it ! -- I promised her after the disablity hearing I would not do anything about it ! -- kept my word ! Made my day to see that newspaper !

This is so true. The x Vice president of Monsanto is the head of the FDA and one of Monsanto's lawyers is one of the Supreme Court Judges now. Hell you can't even take Monsanto to court. Monsanto takes organic farmer to court saying they cross pollinated the corn or soybeans and win. Crazy

 

[bozzo420]

shoot Beemer, the Navy ships had all that asbestos in them. The Infantry was like the ultimate hunting trip. When the game can shoot back.....now that's sporting. talk of adrenalin rushes .

 

[umbra]

Monstano = death to all living things

 

[Beemer]

OH yea I forgot about the asbestos. It was everywhere and right above my rack is where I hid all my goodies in the wrapping around duct work. I bet it was an adrenalin rush, way more than I could have handled. Heck I had a hard enough time with a pissed off father chasing me down the back road back home.

 

[Hippie420]

As a 18 year old kid, I tended plasterers. Used to mix asbestos in hundred pound sacks in brown mud. First time I did it, I noticed all the other laborers standing around watching me. I knew they'd seen me tote a hundred pound bag before, so I couldn't figure out why. Tossed the bag on my shoulder, ran up the plank, tossed the bag on top of the mixer grate, and ripped it open. Fell off the plank, hit the ground blind, choking, with tears and snot running down my face.

By the time I got my excrement organized, I looked up to see the whole bunch of 'em rolling with laughter. The oldest one of the bunch said, "ALWAYS take a deep breath before you bust the bag open and don't breathe again until you clear the plank."

Masks? That's what the Lone Ranger wore.

Howdy Y'all!

Allrighty then!
6 1/2hrs. it took me to chop, trim, wash & hang 2 plants. Whew!
My drying room, 4'X15' is full. One Lady & one Purple Haze.
I'm so pleased with myself I can hardly stand it & I still got PGG & WHITE WIDOW out there building buds. Widow might make it, but PGG isn't going to. I'm gonna try to cross some of my early flowering strains to the PGG. The flowers are just beginning, only a few hairs showing but maybe next week I can pollinate.
I been using an electric bowl trimmer & MAN does it ever do a nice job. I get more trimmed off the buds than I want really, but I save the trim to use later for canna caps.
Whole house smells like a dispensery, hehe, Wish I could get air freshener in this scent.

Peace out Y'all!
