The Good Banter Thread

[callingcolleen1]

Worked to hard yesterday and now fingers are sore.
Sissy What are you going to do with the bread baskets after that? Wonder if you could used them somehow for pond? I think they would float and then you could put all the floating plants together inside so big koi do not eat them. Maybe they could be used to make a filter too? you could put some wool batting or a sheet of some absorbant filter stuff.

I used them in the bottom of my filter so the yucky stuff sits down there and put my lava rock on top of them .The little ones side by side fit perfect .I brought a couple of the bigger ones home just in case I decide to try them for something .Going back to the shop monday so he can put new brakes and cut the rotors on hubbies truck and charge the air conditioner in it .I want a couple more of the smaller ones .I want to maybe put in a bigger filter on the pond at the other end .The filter for fine stuff works OK but not really what I wanted.Not sure the float but may have to check that out

Good job Sissy, I knew your creative mind would put them to work nicely!

Been raining all day. Our many bird visitors ate all of their food so when we returned from the store I quickly refilled their feeder. Before I got back inside a beautiful red male cardinal was having lunch.

Makes my soul happy.

THIS IS TRUE ALL TOO OFTEN...MAYBE NOT THESE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS, AND MEDS BUT THE IDEA....

 

[Big Lou]

Koiguy,
I noticed the original "and cannabis can effectively treat all of these" tag line is missing from your post although it did appear on the email edition.

You cannabis/hemp theology is easy to preach when you are not the one with multiple, dibilitating disorders. Speaking just for me, I am soo sick of your cannabis (hemp) can treat this and that. Sir, you come live my life. Experience my neurological issues. Experience my all of my illnesses. Get ready for my future. Be treated by my doctors. Real doctors, not some person discovered on the Internet. Oh, live the life of my wife. The dear one who cares for me without complaint. Who cries over my condition. Who cries, laughs and endures with me. Who wonders "what's next".

My God man, don't you think that if hemp was "the" true treatment and or "cure all" it would have implemented. I do realize hemp derived medicines are effective for some conditions but you go way overboard. Your overzealous hemp campaign INSULTS ME and millions of other folks with serious illnesses.

As I complete my rant you should fully understand that I have ABSOLUTELY NO INTENTION of debating the pros and cons of medicinal hemp with you. Please, please do not reply with any type of rebuttal or informational diatribe. I know you care Koiguy but please, enough is enough.

Sincerely,
Louis

lou... its not as tho the post was aimed at you... and as far as the other cannabis posts they were in a thread on the subject, a thread you need not have visited. i had no intention of offending anyone, if it upsets you do not go to the thread.

 

[Big Lou]

Thank you for your reply Koiguy. I realize nothing personal toward me was directly intended although the implications of the subject are, in my opinion, unavoiable. You made a very good point by noting that I am not forced to view and read such posts.

My best regards.

Big Lou, my hubby hates pot too but takes high blood pressure pills that is far worse. Smoking Pot will lower the blood pressure by over 100 points immediately and has no side effects. The same cannot be said about the pills he takes. I would rather treat myself with medical cannabis than risk the side effects of chemical pills. Big Lou you are very much like my hubby, he hates it too but has never tried it. I tell him to not complain cause he has never tried it. It would give him energy and would take away any pain too. I smoke pot cause it is good for my eye pressure too and do not want to go blind with glaucoma like my grandpa did. Smoking pot gives me lots of energy too to get things done around the house and takes away all my pain in my sore bones as I also have arthritis as well. I know you hate it like my hubby, but both of you would benefit greatly from cannabis I truly believe.

 

[Big Lou]

I am very glad it helps you Colleen. Thank you for your suggestions and please give your husband our best.

lou, i gotta ask.... how is exposing a different approach to something insulting?
if you have doubts on the validity of statements made on any subject dont get offended or argumentative...do your own research
i have attended open conferences on medicinal marijuana, listened to live speakers, watch and read many many tetimonials from patients who have been cured and remain cancer free, have stopped grandmal seizures, controlled diabetes, brain tumors, and on and on. do your own research. you tube has many testimonial videos. google it. go to Rick simpsons facebook page, pheonixtears.ca, i think being closed minded, unreceptive, and arguementative to something you have no interest in researching is far more insulting.
i ask you visit this page... https://www.facebook.com/pages/Rick-Simpson/298774923502987?ref=br_tf
read some testimonials, go to youtube watch some videos. vist a medical marijuana conference. do some research on your own before you dismiss something that greatly helps and increases quality of life for so many patients.
just a note...CBDs are the compounds that control seizures...they do nothing as far getting high, infact they are plants natural inhibitors to getting high. i have said this before, i have absolutely no interest in getting high. no interest in recreational use at all.

I truly respect you Mark. Right or wrong, for better or worst I stand by my thoughts on the matter.

Hilarious! Our Sunny would do the same without blinking an eye.
