Weasel Forges Ahead

mr.W, weel I'm glad you are up and at em, less thirsty too....lol I'm glad your sight is being sorted out and hopefully soon you'll get to see some trout once you get home...

$14 = R173 and change here for me for a gram which is pricey for decent stuff, but there are quiet a few entrepreneurs that have popped up on Facebook here in South Africa what with them trying to change legislation...

But they are charging upwards of $25 a gram and it's no more fancy than what I already get. the higher the price they nicer the smoke, not quite so as a lot of folk on here are saying how their own produce out classes the top notch weed in dispensaries.....
 
Yer perty dern funny my friend. Gotta say. Cheers
 
Well then...its good thing that you're not thirsty anymore. Lol! Sounds like things are getting back to normal for you. Or as normal as one can be. :)
Those prices look a lil high to me. But what do i know. Definitely is one of the reasons that i "grow my own." Not to mention, i just feel better about ingesting something that i grew myself and i know exactly what was put into it during the growing process. Wasnt that way so much when i was a young pup and doing some of the hard stuff. Anywho- before i go getting sidetracked again- just wanted to wish you the best ol' boy. Hope you get well soon.
Im actually at the hospital right now because my wife went to a regular scheduled medical appointment and her blood pressure was through the roof! She said she had some tightness in her chest, so they connected an EKG. Doc said something about an "abnormality" and says she gotta stay now. Now shes doing a "engiogram" or something. Putting a dye into her veins to check for blockage in the heart, arteries, ect. Mrs Sparks is extremely nervous and crying. Hopefully all turns out well.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: I've got just as many posts, that you could have quoted and said "this is the whole reason I hate these forums" :rofl::rofl::rofl::passitleft::thumb:
 
Battles are impossible to win and really difficult to even get started... Had a nice harvest of Ortega and devil month ago... Critical Skunk (garlic bud) is still my favorite... Good to see you mate, hope your well...
 
I just got my last order of MNS stuff, great line-up but now i have too many seeds so time to back off on the buying and get more into the growing. I have some dreamtime going atm, smells are okay at this point but they have frosted up something shocking :) I'll have to try some of the critical skunk beans. How did your master kaze outside turn out? That thing was beasty
 
Master kaze, we couldn't get it out of the ground to move, tried.. even if we did, it was to big to move anywhere.. other plants, moved them at 1am. There wasn't a car for hours, as soon as we got to the road with the plants, two cars come past :rofl: didn't see us, dropped behind a fence but that shit, it's almost guaranteed to happen..
Weasel, I like the topic list to your thread. How are you travelling mate? You know when you get back home?
 
Man sometimes I sure mangle these posts. I don’t know if it’s my phone or the website, but I end up with multiple multi-quotes sucking on to me like lampreys, and double and triple posts popping up. Takes an hour frantically trying to edit and repair the damage, hoping nobody comes along and has to read all this gibberish.

Aww. That sucks. I wish you the best. Honestly I think the fear of the unknown is always the hardest part. We are survivors and can face anything when it comes down to it. The main struggle is in our head, as always.
Thank you. I don’t know if things are turning around for me yet. I’ve hit a lull. Sick and blind and at this point neither one is getting better but hopefully soon. Can’t hear well or smell with this cold and I feel like I’m always in a dark tunnel. It’s ok. Just feel like I’m wasting time spinning my wheels. Getting info has been extremely difficult. Weird that you can completely rearrange someone’s eye, but not have time to inform them about it.
I talked to an ophthalmologist today and he didn’t sound too optimistic about me getting very good sight back in that eye. At this point almost anything is better than the way it is now though. Maybe I should talk to an optomistologist.

Can’t really agree with you there. Lots of times I have very mixed feelings about this place, but it wouldnt be because of you, or any of the forum members really. In the end, it’s really our place -to make what we will out of it.

I’m not allowed to fly for a couple months because of the bubble in my eye. Looks like I can get a ride north with a family member on Saturday if I get cleared by the clinics to go. If they don’t see any surprises and if I figure out all the aftermath myself and how I’m going to manage the recovery and find an eye doctor up there, etc. etc. I’m realizing it’s kind of all kind of self serve and I have to try to unravel the clues, figure out what they’ve done to me, and what the follow up should be.
In theory I could make it home by middle of next week or even sooner if we drive hard.
I suppose if it’s going to make a big difference to my eye, then I’ll stay down. But things will start falling apart at home soon enough and I’d like to get back.
 
Who- me? Or grizzwald’s plant that was so big it wouldn’t fit in his car? First world problems, man.

I don’t feel disappointed, on my end. And hopefully I don’t end up feeling that way, cause it’s not really a state of mind I can work with. I know the cold and the eye are both going to get better, just not sure how much better re the eye. But I think, probably, a lot better, compared to now. What's a few more battle scars...

Who knows what the future holds?

Oh yeah wait I remember now.
Death. :rofl:

The fun’s not over yet though. ;) I’m just looking forward to getting back home and resting my bones a little and working on my projects and my plants and seeing friends and pets once again. No complaints.

How are you Nightwings? I used to see you around in the night, my time, when the Aussies would come out to play. I miss that scene, it was funny. It seems to have dispersed at the moment.
 
Damn Weasel- sorry to hear about the long term prognosis on the eye. Things like this in life definitely makes one think of their own mortality. Usually makes me really appreciate the simple things in life....sitting on beach as the sun comes up....puffin a fatty....watchin da birds...listening to the water....waves crashing and rolling back out...
my old dog that used to chase birds laying at my feet lookin up at me, as if to say, "nah, we're gettin to old for this shit." Lol! Sorry...went on one for a minute there.
Hope everyone is enjoying their day so far.

Crawl out of the forest and into the city for one week, and look at ya now... Get out before your looking for an apartment in the "Downtown Eastside".
 
Yeah, things change. Not always for the better. But that’s life. Sometimes they come back around again though. I don’t feel like I have complaints about that either. It’s just what it is.

Ha ha ha. yes I see how this is going Scrogdawg... definitely focussed hard on making my escape with as many intact body parts as possible, before I actually look the part enough to fit into that shitshow down there. I spent a fair chunk of my youth living in Vancouver back when it was a lot smaller and a lot nicer. The downtown east side does seem to have a bit of a drug problem doesn’t it? The fentanyl apocalypse doesn’t seem to have even thinned the numbers much.

This does make me remember my mortality all right, not that I was in any danger of forgetting it. Just as you say B Sparks, it makes me really appreciate home, and the simple things in my life. I also miss having a journal that was at least mostly about plants.
Soon...
This maybe sounds like one of those things people say and you think they’re just bullshitting and claiming to look on the bright side, but when you lose something important, it really makes you appreciative of the things you still do have. There’s also a certain melancholy that comes with having any part of your body removed. Like I was actually pretty attached to that stuff in my eye that they just sucked out and tossed away.
Lined up a different ride home and I’m going to try to take a boat up the coast if they let me go tomorrow. That will be faster and nicer.
 
Hey Weaselcracker - so glad to hear you’re on the other side of that and gearing up to escape... in a boat! fecken awesome!

Interesting what you folks say about the Aus contingent - I thought I remembered there were more from here when I used to lurk the site some years ago. Then when I joined, after not being here much for a while, there didn’t seem so many. Not an issue for me, was just surprised. I quite enjoy the global aspect - but it is nice to wave at someone in the same hemisphere occasionally ;) @GrizzWald :ciao:

All best with your boat ride Cracker! :surf:
 
:ciao:

You got any rods and lures for ride home?
