OT: Thread About Nothing (TaN #...lost count)

At some point we're going to look into a prescription for my wife to manage her pain. As of now, when she needs something, I give her half of a Delta 8 gummy, which manages to keep things under control while not really making her high. It took some trial-and-error to get there.

My first experience with that was 25mg Delta 8 a friend gave me without really telling me about its potency and it shocked me.

Does Delta 8 have anti-inflammatory properties or just anti-pain?

Google says yes. I didn't take it for anything other than recreational enjoyment.

I think this song is applicable to so many of us….

the first words he starts singing about a boat.... i just got back yesterday from canoeing out to a crown land island to camp for a couple of days .....quick drive about two hours north of here.... go midweek and avoid the weekend yahoos clogging up the route to get there

and almost zero motorized boats ripping by the site all f***ing day

so...i guess it applies to me

It’s been a real summer of love for my friends, family, and my wife’s friends and family. My sister got engaged when her boyfriend was visiting her in NYC. It’s not her first engagement but she broke that one off two months before the wedding (long story short, the guy proved to be a massive dickhead in a situation where he needed to be a real man).

My wife’s best friend got engaged two months after starting to date this older man (she knew him for about three years prior). His last year in medical school was before she and my wife were born, and when I was not even a year old. She seems happy and confident, so I’m not going to complain.

My brother-in-law has even started dating through Tinder. He has a massive self esteem problem and has already been stood up by one woman and friend zoned by another, but I’ll be there to cheer him on.

Meanwhile my wife just keeps getting better. She’s closer to being the way she was prior to her first flare than she was at her absolute lowest. Modern medicine is amazing.

the 5 levels of letting someone know they're an asshole driver:

1. a paper note tucked under their wiper blade... innocuous

2. that same f***ing note... stuck on the windscreen with a sunday brunch sized smear vaseline to make it stick.... both the physical note and the point of it. ....no damage, just annoying to clean

3. f*** the note. passenger side, clip BOTH valve stems on the tires.... why 2? ..cause no one has 2 spares to get out of this jam. tires undamaged. full annoyance to get tow to fix it. waste their time

4. lazy, unoriginal, boring .....the classic keying of the car..... still gets you from A to Z but ya, that paint job be f***ed and for them cost to fix

5. the best. expanding spray foam right up the tailpipe..... now there's some real dollars to replace pipes even before you turn the key. most people wouldnt notice and try and start and drive the vehicle anyways.

6? ....there is no level 6

I know it’s not a big deal for some people but I’m jacked for today. Picking up my new pup.
I am a massive dog guy , my last dog passed away recently and I was having a very hard time with that.
Today I go pick up my new pup. It’s a breed that is known and genetically engineered to be a deadly killer , capable of destroying anyone and anything that it’s commanded to attack. It is a very intimidating , imposing , viscous machine. It’s called a …. Whoodle…..
1/2 Weaten terrier 1/2 Poodle … LOL. Some people like Pitbulls , Doberman’s, Shepard’s etc , not for me. I like these guys . About the complete opposite of an aggressive dog. My last one never once growled at me or anyone else or any other dogs. My brothers little turd of a dog would literally bite my dog and hang into my dogs lips/ mouth while playing Amd my dog would just swat it off and keep playing.

Big fan of #1. Frequently do it when people park like dickheads.

I shattered my ankle / foot a few years ago and was ned ridden for months. I was given the usual shit. Oxy , Percocet etc. After months of taking pain killers I got addicted. It was a son of a bitch to quit. I still have considerable leg pain but I have been using Kratom as an alternate to pills.
It has worked for me to relieve pain and I used it to stop taking pills.
It is currently a grey market or item that is up for debate if it’s legal or not. You are not legally supposed to use it for human consumption … it can be used as incense or other ways legally where I am from (Alberta Canada) . I can order it online in Canada an have it shipped to my front door with no issues (yet).
Kratom has worked for me BUT it does have some negatives. It upsets my stomach badly if not taken with food and if I take too much during the day. When you do stop usimg it after constant use , it does have some withdrawal symptoms but none nearly as bad as pills etc.

I use a strain called Green Mang Da. It helps with pain and it calms me and has a euphoric effect if you take a lot. If you use a little , it gives me energy and other benifits. For me , it helps me concentrate and think more clearly.

I'm looking for a new job right now, and surprisingly the most interest I've received so far is coming from two companies in Jersey City. So, depending on how the rest of the process goes, I may be moving to New Jersey soon.

I figure this is a good place to ask about the area. What towns are good for raising a family, with a good school system and quiet neighborhoods? Where is the commute to Jersey City not insane? Where (if anywhere) is the real estate market reasonable? What else should I know before moving to Northern NJ?

i’m moving back there myself soon. if you don’t mind a 30 minute commute, i’d go with something in parsippany or wayne

Parsippany, where I have lived the last 13 years and Wayne where I grew up, both excellent options. I prefer Parsippany to Wayne as it's easier to get around the town.

Porcupine tree finally released their new album in June. And I missed it. And it sounds awesome. May be someone missed it too.

I'm also moving back to NJ and will be working out of JC. I think the answer depends on price range and where you draw the line on what an insane commute is. The areas I'm looking at are generally 75-90 mins each way, but for the foreseeable future my group is not getting forced back into the office.

Having grown up there I'd recommend Fair Lawn. Good school system and I think it'd only be about an hour commute to JC via train.

We've been searching for a house to buy since about February. The market has cooled down in that you no longer have to outbid over a dozen people and waive all contingencies, but everything is still going for inflated asking prices and doesn't sit for all that long.
