One of these years we will all die. And then....what next? Oblivion? Heaven? Hell? Recycling?

Things are open again and I can ride buses without disruption YAY :D :D

My new fridge arrived...hopefully it works. I'm in the library whilst it is at home still in it's box. I shall unpack and test it later (I am off to the coast in a minute...on the bus....yay) :D

My budget loan finally came through and my gym membership has been paid for another month so I am off there later too (I do like swimming..if it gets too noisy there I can stick my ears under the water and it muffles everything).

I still have my eye on a digital piano...Oh the feel of those keys beneath the fingers (I tested one, playing with the feel of the keys is like having an orgasm). I want piano lessons this year...I am thinking up ways to make life cheaper so I can save up but and not sure if I want to part with my knitting magazine collection to do it for example. I collect three at the moment...The art of crochet, Big and little knits and Sew and stitch.

The cost of all 3 would pay for 2 piano lessons a month...what to do.

I want the piano and piano lessons. I have even set aside a place in my front room for the digital piano when I get it (its only like a keyboard...but with piano style keys, its not like a baby grand piano or anything).

Want the piano, don't want to part with my needle work magazine.

Anyone else here indecisive.

It takes me ages to make my mind up about things.

I used to believe in an afterlife but as it appears god has buggered off and deserted me my faith has dwindled, so I will vote for recycling. When the day comes may my remains benefit the next generation of earthly organisms.

Another hour to go, but so far so good. So far I've just stayed in and relaxed, had a bit of a yoga stretch session. Contemplating heading to a bar I used to work at, but kinda tired & not really feeling it. I'm going to heat up some soup, take a hot shower, probably have a nice toke & maybe a drink or two since it's new years and all. I've also got some smudging sage I'll likely light up for a good hippified cleansing start to 2014. 8)


Put the toke down and step away slowly from it...:P

Um, no. :D

I still smoke a bit of weed almost daily, but literally just a bit - a couple of tokes from a one hitter, which equates to about 1/10th to `1/8th of your typical joint. Only once in a while when I get a chance to hang out with my crush do I smoke much more, and only because he and most of his friends are much bigger stoners than I am these days.

IMO weed should be more socially acceptable to consume than alcohol, considering it's a far healthier alternative. Also, where I am in the world, it's extremely common and quite socially acceptable by most. Your experience may vary.

I got the wobbly fridge. The one with the missing foot. :D :lol:

Typical.

I'll call them in the morning, hopefully they can send a foot out without replacing the whole thing.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of drugs, I don't even really like drinking which is why I limit it to once a week at most (except special occasions) and lately I'd prefer not to bother with that.

The few times I tried cannabis during my teenage years it gave me panic attacks. Vile stuff. Plus I like to feel grounded, I don't like feeling like I am out of it. If I want to relax I knit or something.

I haven't drank for 7 months save for 2 beers on Christmas and 1 on new years.

If marijuana has a negative effect on you, well, don't smoke it. Although, you may get along with different strains if you ever wanted to explore it. For me there's the high, of course, but it also makes me feel relaxed and reduces any anxiety I may have vs. the opposite of causing a panic attack. My anxiety levels are pretty much nil now since doing this diet/treatment protocol, so I barely smoke any at all for those purposes anymore.

Good luck with the fridge! Meh, at least it gives you a reason to have some communication with someone outside your home. 8)

I communicate with people outside of my home every day as I am rarely in. I still have not mastered the art of finding maintainable friendships yet though (I really don't like the company of people just for the sake of having company..I only like the company of those I find interesting or with whom I have something in common...I've not found anyone I can form a connection with yet. It is important that the connection be there or I won't maintain the social commitments needed to keep the friendship going especially as I don't like being around humans just for the sake of it and like to spend a lot of time doing my own thing).

I prefer not to chase highs. I prefer contentment and am able to achieve such feelings from doing something enjoyable, satisfying and fulfilling. High's only result in a low (or a crash) and that makes for a roller coaster ride emotionally. That is not preferable to me. Contentment is generally more stable and is closer to what I would call happiness. High is just a chemical overload of sorts.

I can definitely see not wanting to chase highs from cocaine, heroin, or amphetamines etc.. but IMO weed is much more mellow & balanced, no super highs or lows, less of a roller coaster than alcohol. But to each their own, I don't care if you never smoke weed, I'm just sharing my opinion on it.

Just about everything is a chemical overload of sorts.. thoughts, emotions, feelings etc - all just chemical overloads of sorts. Sometimes it's fun &/or beneficial to manually manipulate these chemical overloads, whether with marijuana or magic mushrooms or some other natural drug with little to no negative mental or physical health consequences. Again, though, to each their own.

I really don't like drug use and am not interested in it.
