There's some really terrible stuff out there, and I want him to be aware of it, but if you tell kids that it is all the same, they just end up distrusting whatever you tell them. <br /><br />The biggest risk from weed in the US is getting caught, thrown into the legal system, and effectively having your life ruined over a joint. It seems like a better thing to emphasise than hysterical warnings about becoming a dope fiend.

Though now that I think about it, some of the other things people do whilst driving (phones, texts, etc.) are probably more distracting. <br /><br />Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-43363257065019636552015-12-07T10:27:07.536-08:002015-12-07T10:27:07.536-08:00@Mim

I suppose it only stands out because people are generally so nasty and hostile, that running across mellow people is outside the norm. <br /><br />Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-60443115514697509412015-12-07T01:56:43.512-08:002015-12-07T01:56:43.512-08:00I love the thought of you freaking out the hippies...I love the thought of you freaking out the hippies.

That old de...Grace was never that fond of MaryJane. That old demon EtOH was her vice. She's lived in Marin county just north of San Francisco for years. The papers were always full of her drunken mishaps & she often landed herself in the Marin county hoosgow. She once shot up her house & pointed a gun at a police officer while snockered. A few years ago she suffered with some serious health problems that started with diverticulitis & ended up with her in an induced coma for 2 months. I think she's dried out since then & does a few musical gigs as well as painting portraits of fellow artists.<br /><br />Loving the Cherries in the Snow lippy with that celery green jacket.<br /><br />That's some fabulous door decor too!<br /><br />Lighting up a big spliff was not an unusual sight in northern California. Frighteningly, you'd also see smoke filled cars with the driver clutching a doobie in between his fingers. A certain percentage of our tourist economy here in Nepal is devoted to tea heads also. The local police tend to ignore tourists who indulge. Zigzags are on offer at the local departmental store that caters to foreign visitors. I really don't care for the feeling of being spaced out- unless it becomes a choice of horrible pain of feeling spaced out. Then I'll put up with being spaced out. <br /><br />Our very own Maggie Doyne of Kopila valley here in Nepal is one of this year's CNN Heroes! How come we don't see more news stories about people like her?Bibi Maizoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381158640915162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-62351226448654827902015-12-06T12:11:06.342-08:002015-12-06T12:11:06.342-08:00White accessories fill in more than adequately for...White accessories fill in more than adequately for a snow-less landscape (although the fleece blankets for the garden might work if you tossed in some flocked evergreens). The Pendleton skirt with a twin set is a classic look for this season of odd temps, very hot cider at the Country Club with Muffie. <br /><br />I, too, overlook casual consumption of herbal remedies unless the consumer is supposed to be counting out my change or coloring my hair or chauffering my taxi. Then, I get grumpy because, like you, I'm a control freak who never indulged.<br /><br />Ah, Grace Slick back in the day is no-contest to the Hot Mama that Grace is today. Saw an amateur vid of a music fest in a wooded park that featured a tribute band of kids on a simple stage, making a lot of noise. You hear them calling, "C'mon, please!" and then a very large older lady in a muumuu lumbers up onboard and picks up the mic. <br />Pixie cut silver hair, funky earrings, big grin -- and then ol' Grace lifts her voice in song and belts the leaves off the trees. Like, wow.Beth Waltzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02720634636307254576noreply@blogger.com
