I've been telling my daughter all along that Trump is our object lesson in why we should train our young to be better informed as citizens. It's not as simple as go to the polls and cast the vote. One must actually pay attention to the process and the candidates.

I feel certain he's not the destruction of our way of life he's being portrayed to be, but I keep wondering what might happen if everyone decided to ignore him? :laughtwo: The meltdown might be entertaining to watch. Lol!

Gosh sue, we so think alike,, haha. When this news brief thing happened, when they barred the reporters, I oh so wished all the other reporters had stuck together and skipped the briefing. Oh my, what a message that would send,, but, oh well, not to be, there is a tit to be sucked on. ( is that tit comment chauvinistic? Possibly)

Salude sue, best karma sent

The teat comment was right spot on, so it's forgivable if any chauvinistic feelings got wrapped up. We can be adults about it. :cheesygrinsmiley:

When I get some time it's reps for all you guys for your great advice. All totally in line with my gut feelings. I probably shouldn't take this tangent too far in this grow journal, but thanks for the chance to talk and vent about this right now.
To be honest I'm stressed right the hell out, and my guts are screaming at me to get the fuck out of this situation. Didn't sleep a minute last night and I'm still wired.
Today buddy offered to double our pay, laid a few dozen other bribes on us, and we said we would consider it. Regretted saying that as soon as we were around the corner. Even though it's pretty much what we were asking for yesterday - before that weird talk threw us for a loop and we started seeing the light. Not sure how 'considering it' even came out of our mouths today when we meant to say the opposite.
Thinking about staying in this weirdass situation makes us both feel sick to the stomach with stress. Thinking about getting out feels like coming up for fresh air.
This thing already has the feeling of being tangled in a web and we haven't even signed anything yet. Very very very weird.
Skybound thanks and I wish I had your skills now even though I probably don't envy what you had to go through to get them. Definitely out of our depth in this situation. Even though I'm sure it's just basic underworld business 101. Yes - we will have to be totally honest with buddy and just have the difficult conversation. Can't do any better than that. It clearly ain't going to get any easier than it is now. And it's not feeling easy now. Strangely enough.
It's weird man. The guy is warping things and working his way into our lives and making it seem like we owe him.
In fact no- I/we don't owe him anything at all. Other than that's it's very inconvenient for him to lose us. Actually at this point he owes us a month's wages plus expenses. Which we'd both be totally happy to walk away from. The guy has a really creepy energy. Very difficult to explain. I guess what it comes down to is he's a master of heavy manipulation, and we're just clueless idiots really.
I'd really like to stay clueless. Not too proud to admit it.

He works from motivation, you work from inspiration. Those are two totally different worlds. I'd go ahead and be proud that you want to remain clueless as to the inner workings of his world. In my own life I've sometimes found it more beneficial to my soul to walk away without the planned compensation. You may be staring at such a circumstance.

Go with your gut. Always trust the inner voice and listen to the discreet messages your emotions are trying to guide you with. It's more important that you stay happy than anything having to do with anything, because you're feeling for the solutions, and they won't come to you in moments of confusion, will they?

You're too far away from me. I should do something about that some day and get myself to the other coast, or at least heading in that direction. I'm thinking Colorado might be a good endpoint for me, being so centrally located.

Until then, the emoticons will have to be our fallback.

:hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:

Ok...... That'll work for now. :battingeyelashes: :Love: I'm so far behind on this journal someone should shake me. I'll catch up before I wander away. :Love:
 
All caught up now my friend, and I took the time to wrap you up in a cosmic bubble of SweetSue connections. You know I have connections bigger and better than this business associate, don't you? Ok. So do you. :battingeyelashes: :Love:

I'm trying unsuccessfully to tone down the joyful expectation of what must be heading your way, but I picked up a whiff of it out of the blue a couple pages back and it simply refuses to tamp down. Whatever's coming is gonna be sweet. Start getting happy now, so it'll feel normal (there's that word again) when it shows up.

Point: you need to consider calling those garden entities what they obviously are, helpful little gremlins that might be grow angels with wicked humorous undertones, because you like it a bit lively, don't you? Every time you call them devils you end up thanking them. I think you have the language confused. :laughtwo:

I have so many threads running - and active, I must point out - that I've lost count. You'd think I'd keep a list, wouldn't you? Surprisingly, I neglected that simple step, and now it's way beyond my control. I've learned to live with it and be thankful that I'm expecting the universe to handle it. When I'm needed at one of them a call/post comes through.

It does take a bit of time, but then I've been saying all along I considered it my retirement plan. I wasn't prepared for how much f*n fun it is. :laughtwo:

Last, but not at all least, keep this one alive and get it to a decent harvest and I see a POTM right here.

You amaze me. Your pictures take my breath away. I'm so glad I stopped today. I'll be back. Do you have any idea how many times I wanted to give you reps while I read the last five pages? Five pages! And I had to almost force you to start a journal. :laughtwo:

:kisstwo:
 
Thanks guys for the good conversation, good advice and moral support and Sue for the compliments on the plants. What a strange tangent this journal/life has taken. Words can't describe how weird things are around here all of a sudden. Even a week ago I never could have imagined this bizarre twist in my life. I hope to be back to normality and to plant updates by sometime next week!
I only had ten minutes at the grow today to throw water at the situation to get them by for another five days, before I ran off again. The PC looks very rough at least by green light. Panama and Mama Thai also ready to chop as soon as I'm able.
 
Mate I haven't experienced the Mafia per say but my parents (millionaires and dabbling in everything) had a phase of association where they would be flying in and out of Russia laundering money or Africa for diamonds, even bringing a Mobutu 5 (equivalent of royalty) over to the UK that came living with us on the family estate for awhile and they became terrible people almost overnight. Well, they were always terrible people but during this time they became much much worse. My advice would be to get the fuck out of there no matter what carrot is being dangled before your nose. Even if the fella means you no ill intent it will more than likely happen at some time or other in the future, some unintended slight or even an imagined one and then the shit gets real and all of a sudden you're living with those feelings that your body is warning you about now. These people lose their sense of being and become almost amoral in their treatment of others, trust your instincts, fuck it trust my instincts as I have those feelings again just hearing of your situation. Look after yourself Weasel, you're as close to a friend as I have on here and my heart goes out to you. All the best :Namaste:
 
Awww thanks HH. That's very sweet of you. And a very interesting story too. I'll pm you when I get a minute here, things are pretty busy dealing with this situation.
 
Thanks Snarly good to have you along. Things are kind of on pause right now with the plants because of some weird so-called 'real life' events but I should be able to get back to the garden sometime within the next week. I'll probably have to harvest a couple plants a week late- the Mama Thai and the Panama, but that's ok as long as they don't go mouldy on me.

Thanks for the welcome. Pause as long as you need. Sorry to hear about the "real life" events, but go with your gut. Every time I have ignored a gut feeling it backfired on me. I mean, hell, we listen to our plants to give them what they need, so why not listen to our gut to give us what we need?

As to your grows, I think it was the method of your madness that brought me here :high-five:

Thanks!
Exactly.
Me too, and you'll know what I mean when I say -you can't change the past.
I know you shouldn't dwell on stuff, but I can still kick myself over some employment decisions I made a decade ago that I wouldn't have made if I'd trusted my instincts. Yeah maybe I made some money, and maybe the work went well enough, but I felt dirty after, working for the wrong kind of people.
I've always lived by my wits, I'm not attached to having lots of money, and I'm not worried about finding other jobs. There are always other jobs.
On a happier subject, I got a sudden and totally unexpected two day reprieve from my duties so I'll be able to check on the girls tonight.

The past is the past.
The present is the present
The future is the future.
And those are the bumpers on the pinball machine.
We are the ball.

Promise me you won't let me say crap like that again, k?
 
Thanks HG. Yeah 'catching up'... always overrated. Just drop in anytime.
Lucky I managed to get back here when I did, the devils have been working overtime. In another week this grow would be in a shambles.
Mama Thai was hit pretty bad with mold. Another few days and she'd be a write off. I started harvesting her tonight till I ran out of steam after too many sleepless nights at work. So I'm going to try and get some now (sleep), and finish her tomorrow.
One of the biggest Panama buds was moldy so I hacked the end off it. I'll harvest that plant tomorrow too.
The Pineapple Chunk is definitely a write-off. I dragged her out of the flowering room and tomorrow I'll throw her in the freezer to turn her into hash another day.
The other plants in there are overgrown and need some love- not to mention all the usual maintenance. Hex res is almost dry, they all need feeding, veg is overgrown, clone cuttings are all dead or dying, etc.
In other words things are more like normal around here.
Too tired to upload pics and whatnot but I'll do that tomorrow. Just posting a couple pics of the grafts which continue to progress.

This is the larger of the two plants I grafted, and the first one I did.

The upper graft. I'm always tempted to cut that extra bit of stem off- but I'm leaving it because it looks weird.




IMG_90202.JPG


The lower graft. This was the very first graft I did- the one where I made the notch/splice backwards.
Then, as I mentioned earlier in the journal- while I had the grafted area wrapped with some plastic ribbon as it underwent healing, the bottom tip of the added cutting (scion) somehow started growing into the stalk of the receiver plant (rootstock). They were just tied tightly together and apparently that's enough for them to decide to grow into one plant. I'm not sure how the stem tissues are rearranging themselves to make things work in there, but it seems to be somehow happening.
 
Alcoholics shouldn't listen to their gut.. Hey bro :passitleft: I got my daughter a craft book, it has lots of projects we can do together.. one is making a voodoo doll :rofl: it has spells for it also :rofl::rofl:
