2 weeks in the trailer...
So many empties, big ones, glass ones, aluminum ones, 40%, 28%, 5% ones....

I drink too much these days to get triggered. An actual sad truth.

Try a good tequila like Cazadores Reposado, sip it like a good scotch.

Any of you dirty hippies on the island feel that quake yesterday?

Ahhhhhh, the essential oils type.

Probably ok to assume you and I wont get along.

Nope

You are right I won't read it

Let's face it , if there was no complaining there would be little to talk about. I have no interest in getting involved .

The media drives most of the sh1t. If they didn't they wouldn't have jobs.

My pet peeve is these start up experts. Scream loud and you will be famous.

I enjoy the hockey . Can't ask for much more maybe a cup.

It was actually a decent read. I’ll give you the coles notes version.

In the first few years, Benning was George Lucas while they were developing Star Wars A New Hope (back then it was just called Star Wars).

Now, Benning is George Lucas while they are planning to make The Phantom Menace.

You should go burn some incense I think your chakra is out of alignment

Ah... No on Freddy
Geoff Tate of Queensryche in his prime.
- carsonagenic

Both were 4 octave singers in their primes and stellar in their own ways. I like Tate a bit more as personal preference. Queensryche was very under-rated.

Don't forget some of the other great vocalists from that time like Chris Cornell, King Diamond, Maynard James Keenan (Tool), Phil Anselmo (Pantera), Ian Gillan and Jon Oliva from a band called Savatage.

In another Genre Linda Rondstadt had amazing range....

No absolutely not. Holistic nutrition and medicine is a joke.

But if you think touching a lightbulb and putting a garlic clove under your bed will clear the warts, do your thing man

Do you how many times I've been told that tumeric or pilates will cure my chronic & severe arthritis.

Ever try prescription Voltaren?

That’s nonsense. The only way to cure arthritis is to rub an anchovy filet on your taint. Mind you anchovy paste will have the opposite effect, so make sure you use an actual filet packed in oil.

- VanHockeyGuy

Man, I'm so beyond that. A handful of pills twice a day, one injection weekly another every 2 weeks.
My wife was prescribed Voltaren but found my cannabis arthritis balm way more effective.

My mom has a very rare condition called POTS. For years she was looking for answers to her unbelievable nerve pain. She lived with it 24 hours a day for years. She finally (at her wits end) went to a naturopath where they made her touch a unplugged lightbulb and told her to put different herbs under her bed to rid herself of the "toxins". She left and was more discouraged than before she went. She then got a referral to go to the MAYO clinic in Minnesota where she was finally diagnosed properly with the super rare disease.
Again, F*ck holistic nutrition and naturopaths

lol just giving you a hard time man I actually agree for the most part a lot of it is snake oil.

My GF is big into the Essential Oils and while I have tried a few most of them have zero effect. I 'think' a few have worked but it's probably placebo lol

My wife diffuses essential oils (like peppermint and cinnamon) in the house to cover up the wet puppy smell lol. Thats about all they should be good for.

It's staggering the amount of unsolicited, retarded advice you get from people. The "Have you tried going gluten free?" people are simply told to "F*ck off!" as I walk away shaking my head.

I mostly agree with what you're saying, but there are some things that are beneficial. The problem with a lot of the naturopathy is that some of it may work for a few people, but unlike medicines it won't work for the vast majority. And for more chronic, actual diseases it won't work at all – which when people are desperate leads to them getting taken advantage of.

However, like your anecdotal bit about your mom, there are lot of people that herbs or foot gouging or reiki worked for (even if it's just mental, which is a huge part of treatment.)

One example would be weed. Hippies have been espousing the benefits for a long while before modern science came around and saw its positives.

Also, hope your mom is better.

Yup. My type of arthritis is neither rare nor common and is fairly invisible to the casual observer. After seeing a Rheumatologist for 25 years and a Neurosurgeon for 12 years and then have some f*cktard tell me that I could have avoided decades of chronic pain and moblity and range of motion issues by trying their homemade Kombucha, I want to lunge at them with an ice pick.

Star Wars is like PITB . I don't follow them either So I have no idea what that means.

Let's just say that the Phantom Menace is a rather large skid mark on Lucas' career.
