They all left, Ichi. Now there's just us. And Lobsters. :-(

AN historian.

Find a good starting workout plan and stick to it!

Pick up the guitar. There's free tabs for every fucking thing out there now.

None of my rock t shirts have lasted this long except the Marylin Manson shirt that was autographed by the band. Didn't go to that one though. I had some kid go to the record store on a Sunday and get it for me.

Welcome to the internet! We have such sites to show you!

Dude your wife is a metalsmith?
Badass.

Hm. Yeah I dunno. I actually have doctor experiences second and third hand. Everyone out here seems to have Kaiser, which maybe gives them more options. (Having access to your own bloodwork and medical records online, stuff like that).

I must admit that I have not given up on longing. Mostly for free booze.

I've been wanting to look into one. It would save me having to brave the cold in the winter (like now. Brr!)

My cousin and I had one each and we were convinced that, over a weekend, they had planned something together.

Why? So some 15 year old on one of those digital Turk sites can undercut me for weed money?

If you* don't trust the person making your food to have clean hands, maybe fuck off and go make your own food. Sadly, those kinds of people usually can't feed themselves either.

Non-sale price, including tax, I pay 54 and change for 3.5g. Which is fine, because it'll last me two weeks at minimum. Four if work+school gets heavy.
It's incredible quality. The only thing I can compare it to is stuff that would sell at 40 a gram back home, so it feels like a bargain to me. At most, I smoke in a…

If I had access to healthcare, I would totally do that if I were sick for two weeks. "Well according to your bloodwork-"
"Nah, gimme that. I can read it."

So, funny story. I've been a pizza guy most of my life. Like, slide the pie off a board onto a hot stone. Whenever I had to get a job at a new place, dude would smugly hand me the dough scraper and the pan with the proofed dough balls and say, "show me." He'd stop me before the toss because he just wanted to make sure…
