    Cannabis consumption on track to overtake alcohol

    Not really. You either smoke less of the stronger weed, or you build up a tolerance. I have a buddy who had a liver transplant and has a medical card. He vapes his THC constantly and he functions normally. I took one hit off his vape one time and it knocked me out. The point is THC levels don't tell the whole story. It's what your tolerance is.

    Similar to booze. Some people function normally at .08 and above, but someone who's never drank woul most likely be in bad shape

    Yeah, I'm one of them, actually.

    Paranoid, anxious, and bizarrely self loathing.

    There's a scene in Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry David smokes some of his elderly father's cannabis that he has to treat glaucoma. Larry ends up staring in the mirror the whole time, making faces at himself and screaming "I hate you! You bald *****!" 

    It's kind of like that.

    I was a daily user for 20 years. Not so much any more. Never thought I'd give it up, but here we are. 

    It's not quite as bad if I consume the right KIND of cannabis, like a low THC indica. That high THC stuff and any kind of sativa, though? No way in hell.

    That said, I've grown to really enjoy high quality CBD. Not that fake, unregulated, garbage-y stuff they sell at shopping malls and Seven Elevens. I'm talking the real, high quality, lab tested CBD. Great for minor pain relief, anti-inflammation, and relaxation, without the zany THC effects.

    That episode cracked me the hell up. I wake up with new aches and pains every day. I avoid Tylenol, Advil, and and all that stuff and just deal with it, but I may give the CBD a try. What brand do you use?

    Controversies aside the guy was a fantastic heel.

    Agreed.....I don't know many CEOs who been so adept at kept a ship running over so long . I grew up watching wrestling back in the Hillbilly Jim and Junk yard Dog days. Lost interest for a while,  then got back into it during Stone Cold and The Rock heyday. Haven't watched it in years, but whatever vince did  or didn't do, there's no denying he's a great businesses man and is able to adapt to put out a product that's been in demand for decades.

    Once again it appears I was the only one expecting this to be a "would ya" thread

    So, I just watched the Scarlett johansson episode. I never got what all the buzz was about. I thought she was attractive, but there are a lot of attractive women. My God, I've never seen a more beautiful person eat chicken wings. She's stunning, and requested beer....It's a yes for me.

    Sometimes it's just beatin'
    Some days you just forget
    What all you've been given
    Some days you just get back

    Yeah, some days you're just alive
    Some days you're livin'
    Some days you're livin'

    Anyone think she'd die before Him?  Also as I get closer to 40, 73 seems younger and younger.

    Agreed....I'm thinking if i can make make it to 80 and still be somewhat functional and then drop dead, I'll call it a success .

    Wimbledon Final

    Not so fast, don’t forget Federer, my personal favorite after having run into him at a tournament in Miami. He has 20 Majors, and he’s a great guy by all accounts. 

     

    What surprises me the most is Serena, arguably the most dominant athlete of all time in any sport, “only” has 23 Majors, one more than Rafa. That doesn’t seem right! It seems she wins every other one! 

    Federer is a class act. He's retired though right? The other two are still playing and at a high level. I suspect they'll collect a few more.

    Just stinks that Rafa had to pull out. I think he would have won the whole thing. 

    I think this is Novak's 4th consecutive Wimbledon which is pretty impressive. Between him and Nadal. They're blowing everyone away with the number of majors won.

    I can’t lie, I went thru a serious relationship with my cushy Thorlo’s.  They are so padded you almost need a bigger shoe to fit properly. When I used to play tennis in them (in the steamy south) they were like a sweat sponge that would squish around in my shoes. (Apologies to those having dinner!   :))

     

    I eventually changed my pattern to using them for keeping feet warm as I sleep. They are as good as slippers around the house….and you can wear them to bed! 

     

    I never loved my New Balance, but if you have wide feet they are worth looking into. My favorite is K-Swiss, they are great for exercise or just walking around. 

     

    NOTE: The Mods might want to keep an eye on Rex and @mead107 in this thread. There’s some kinky stuff going on out there! 

    Regarding the New Balance. I bought a pair of 1080s a year or so ago and they were awesome. I went back tonight and must have tried on 4  or 5 pairs of shoes and none of them felt that special. The kid in the store was looking at me like I was fitting to heist the place. We had a conversation and he told me "nothing you try on is going to feel like the 1080s". I wanted a dark shoe because the light ones show the dirt quicker and I always mess them up within a few weeks. There were none on the display shelves, but I found an older pair on the clearance rack. Jackpot!!

    As I try to age gracefully, I've noticed my feet starting to hurt in various places over the last several years. I never really put too much thought into shoes aside from certain brands I've become accustomed to and if they look half decent. Right now comfort  is paramount and I think I've put together the best shoe and sock combination that I've ever experienced. It feels like I'm walking on a cloud. New Balance 1080 shoes with the Thorlo padded socks. It's glorious. 

     

    This is just casual walking around. I'm still trying to find the right non-slip work shoe. If anyone has any recommendations throw them out there.
