Hey all, back from the doctor so late that I didn't have the energy to come online. Jim's doctor put him on dronabinal to help with the spasm pain in his legs and his appetite. This med is the man made THC so we're sitting back wondering if it's going to work. He also gave him antibiotics for a sinus infection. Oh, and he lost 22lbs since April! Whoa huh? Jim is happy as a lark! lol

We asked about weening off methadone but the doctor said if it isn't broke, don't fix it. After that we just chatted about getting the dr to our house to smoke some hooka. lol According to the Hindu faith if a neighbor offers you hooka you become part of their family for life. Jim's dr is scared of hooka so we tease him about that. He did say maybe he should come over and take a hit from Jim. I told him oh no he wont because then he'd lose his job and be living in my basement because his wife will boot him out. Gosh, I love having a funny doctor for Jim. The only downfall is we forgot to talk about the Ibot because we were laughing too hard.

Kay, I would say cooking with the stuff will deplete the effect a little so I don't think there is too much worry there. But eating the stems that are ripe, lol, well maybe only chew on a little bit and wait to see how you feel. lol Seriously, if I were cooking with it I would add probably about 1/2 cup of seeds to a batch of brownies at first and go from there. If you would normally use a cup of something you add in like peanuts, go with half of that to start. If you still get that out there feeling then you know to lower it next time and visa versa. Do you know how much fun we would have together in that jungle? lol

I did call Renee and she tried to talk me into driving down to share Jim's meds! lol

Frank, good to see you posting. I figured we talked your ear off and Deb probably just wanted to hug her man since he was home. :-) Do me a favor? Deb for me OK?

Everyone have a good day. It's only 73 degrees here but the humidity is so high we had to put on the air. Maybe after the storms it will cool off.

good it isnt just me it was really humid yesterday and i can feel it today too, glad jim is feeling good and docs visit went well, yeah if i get to yakking with doc i tend to forget stuff too, will give her a hug

kay make a tea with the steams an seeds

hiya vonn how you be

Have you seen those hookahs? They are the most beautiful "apparatuses." DDs were horrified that I wanted to purchase one just for the artistic/decorative appeal. LOL

aw, that was my problem... whistling while I worked, and wasting away the day.

naw, man... the seeds are, like, totally gettin' *sprouted* dude !!

we don't smoke, as don't want the odoriferous aroma drifting over to an unappreciative or narkly neighbor...

will try using HALF Cannabutter with half regular in tomorrow's batch of brownies.

then, eating HALF a brownie, and waiting a good long while...

see, the main difficulty is the hour or more it takes to sense the medical benefits and/or otherworldly effects, when EATING, rather than smoking, with which, one can usually tell right away, or within minutes when it's time to stop inhalation.

that ol' NaeNae sure is a kick in the pants, eh?

Vonn, hope the tummy problem goes away.

TK, know what you mean about stuff taking longer.

Frank, hope you're feeling better today.

Sandy, LOL. Glad you and Jim have a doc that's great to talk to.

Renee, Love the face the woman next to him is making, LOL.

~~~~~~

Taking a break from my running around. Temps are still low, but we have high humidity here too. :P

Next project - go through the books that are taking over our house. Gonna get the ones we don't want together and take them to the half priced used bookstore tomorrow.

Kay, is it possible to grind the stems down? I am trying to get a mental picture of what they look like. lol Do they look like the same stems over here? You need my grinder. It's just a little thing that grinds it into weetle pieces. lol

hi all ...

well, would you say this is GOOD news?? received a packet from the dept of health services regarding my SSDI ... and they want me to go for a "neurology exam" with one of their medical facilities ... in Iron Mountain ... about 3.5 hrs from me .. .Sept 13 - Saturday.

they will pay for this exam ... and $38.08 for gas ... will call them with my updated address and phone number ... pray for me! thanks!

Vonn, definately go! Keep mum about the quilting thing though. lol

personally i would find someone to drive you there is no way i could do a 3.5 hr there get tested and drive back home and maybe even let them know there is no way you can make this appt cause you cant drive that far, let them find someone closer Madison is a big town thats bs

dont forget this is their doc who is paid by ssi keep that in mind he or she will not be unbiased let them find one closer
