I downloaded it and used it yesterday! I went about 15 miles with a ride time of 1hr 26 min. I like that when you stop moving, it stops clocking your time. Let's you get a better average of speed etc. I like the map function too. I am trying to ride around town and am always loooking for less crowded areas with no stop signs etc. Too bad I don't have any friends that ride. Maybe if I make my routes public I can see if others around town are riding?

Nice one! You could look out for local riding groups, you should be able to find them on Strava. You'd quickly have many friends that ride, plus a nice group to go out with and discover new routes. Yeah you can also poke around on the app to discover new routes and other riders.
 
Just made up a batch of cannabis-free (trying to abstain for potential job testing purposes) "Green Dragon":

1 Pint: Grain Alcohol
1 Small Lemon: Squeezed and minced into tiny pieces
1 Heaping Tbsp. Each: Skullcap, Mugwort, Catnip, Chamomile, Lemon Balm, Lemongrass, Gotu Kola, Wormwood.
Mixed up, covered and left in refrigerator.

I'm not a big drinker so I'll just forget about it for a couple of weeks or so until I'm feeling stressed around bedtime and strain out a shot or two. I'm thinking that some kind of lemon/lime soda might make a decent-tasting drink.

Interesting! Skullcap, mugwort and wormwood especially should certainly do something. When I used to grow weed, many years back, I would make 3 grades of green dragon (I called it emerald dragon though, just to be different), basically I'd make 3 bottles every harvest, with fifths of Everclear. I'd put all the stems in one bottle, after they dried, then all the big fan leaves into another, and all the crystally trim leaves and wispy, tiny buds not worth curing into another. I would notice that it would take about a month for them to really get good. It seemed like the highest grade one would get stronger and stronger as the months went on until it became basically psychedelic. It was by far my favorite way to consume weed I've ever experienced, it's like eating it, but hits faster and harder and more sparkly like smoking it can be. Even the one made from stems would be pretty strong after a while, though it tasted really bad. The highest grade one was actually emerald colored, and a half a shot glass full would get you high as shit after a while. Incidentally, you can pack a LOT of dried herb material into a bottle of Everclear, I'd open the new bottle, pour a shot out, and then shove amounts of leaves/stems/etc in there that were frankly quite shocking.

Anyway yeah, hope yours turns out well. :) Bluelight has been pretty slow today and I find that I am really wanting to write and/or talk to people today. So, blah blah blah ahh okay I'm spent for the moment.

I have got a HELL of an afterglow from this festival and my trip during it, it really is quite spectacular. <3

Whoa dude that's crazy. 8o If you've been sleep deprived though that might be just enough on its own to cause a seizure. Although I guess it wasn't a seizure, maybe you just passed out uncontrollably? I was chronically sleep deprived for a long time years ago, and I started randomly falling asleep uncontrollably, the doctor diagnozed me with narcolepsy (because I didn't want to be honest that it was because I was staying up all night tripping and then going to work at 7:30am, 0-3 hours of sleep a night, rinse and repeat for 2 years). Once I got caught up with sleep and took better care of myself it stopped happening entirely.

Actually though it reminds me of how nat the festival I just got back from, on the second day, my good friend's roommate had a full-blown grand mal seizure in the morning. He was up all night and did a bunch of coke to try to get pumped for the day, and was very, very dehydrated. It was terrifying though, he had to get taken to the hospital in an ambulance. Fortunately he was fine.

Yeah dude. Everybody was scared shitless apparently. Nothing but high fives and "damn dude im happy youre okay" lol. Like they thought I was legit dying.

The scariest part for me was not remembering ANY of it happened. At first I was gonna be like nah im not going to ER but then Im like its kinda fucked up you dont remember this shit happening you should go hah. Thats the conclusion the DR made tho was a mixture of chronic sleep deprivation and dehydration. I work in a freezer -10 to -20f and he said that can really speed up the dehydration process because youre not really sweating like normal but you still are losing your fluids and the cold kinda makes you forget to keep drinking water.
 
Damn yeah that would be crazy, I'd have gone to the doctor too, at least assuming I had friends around like you did to tell me what had happened. Wouldn't it be weird if you didn't have anyone around and you never knew it happened?

At the festival I just came back from, the guy (don't really know him much myself but he was a loved member of our group)who had the full-blown grand mal seizure just suddenly started violently shaking, it looked like he was possessed or something. He ended up with whiplash and shit, and he was clenching his jaw extremely hard. Went on for minutes too, the paramedics had to come in and carry him away and we were all freaked out that he wouldn't be okay, but he was other than some minor damage. It was especially scary while it was going on because people can die from those kinds of seizures. It was my first time actually seeing one in real life and man is that fucked up...

Shoulda, coulda, woulda. Dunno why I handed everything over like that, maybe it's for the best for me (and my mom) in the long run. Sorry dooood.

Shouldn't lost my 2 week old glasses yesterday. Swear I put them in the living room, put on my sunglasses, went out and did some yard stuff, came back in and they are gone. I've allready spent hours looking. Good thing I have my backup pair, except my backup pair has superglue all over them and are broke as fuck. Hence me having two week old glasses. arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhh.

Well, my fears were correct. My cancer is back. Tumors in four spots. The doctor wants me to start chemotherapy next week, but says there is a very low chance of it working. Low enough that she wouldn't even say a number.

I think I'm going to die.

I love you tnw. I'm crying. Please be strong. There's always a chance.

If you meet God.... tell him humanity deserves forgiveness.

I'm here if you need me.
 
Well, if I do die, it won't be soon, but it definitely looks like this is going to be what takes me out. This next chemo might work, we might find a good clinical trial that works, so I still have chances. But every time you get chemo the odds of it working are worse than the last time, and I'm on my fourth attempt now.

I am so sorry to hear it, mate. So sorry. :(

I wish I could fucking hug you right now. It just seems so cruel that this has happened again.

You are in my thoughts man, whatever good that does. If you ever need to vent or want advice or whatever, please pm me. <3

Pharamakos I'm really sorry to hear this news.
I will keep you in my thoughts x
 
well doges i just did a fat wakeup line cause i think i fell asleep for like an hour. got work that i'm bout to get ready for and honestly being i have way more than enough shit i have half a mind to blow another and be tweakin at work like just to show like ok you guys (not the people i work with. the home depot people) dont like me think i walk around too much and act like i'm incompetent cause i act real chill heres how I'd get when i worked 3rd shift and i'd sit and do a few lines on my lunch
like for real i apparently went to teh bathroom an excessive number of times yesterday. now yeah i did go blow a little shit (emphasis on little) a few times but otherwise i was fixing my hair washing blood off my fingers etc
like even in the hole in a supermax fed prison it is your constitutional right to have access to running water and a toilet/sink. cant be taken from you. hence why dudes in the county (in the hole) will flood the tier if they get mad (and then they get water restriction and cant do it again but it is cool)
like they dont know who do you wanna deal with the real chill lmz who is nice to people and shit or criminal lmz cause i been to that county girl i aint tellin
 
tnw man... fucking shit, what the hell? What a rollercoaster. I'm so sorry man. :( <3 I hope you don't die.

This is hard news. We're all cheering for you dude.

With cancer you have a chance to get your affairs in order before you pass. One of my greatest fears is to die before I get the chance to tell everyone I love them, or mend an open wound, or that someone I'm on bad terms with but care very deeply about gets hit by a bus. With cancer you know you have a finite amount of time left, so you can set your priorities and live maybe with a certain freedom that you're definitely gonna die (as we all are), really keenly knowing you'll never get this day back again. I know that's really searching for the silver lining, so I hope that doesn't sound trite, but I really believe cancer can be an opportunity to fully live your life in a way that so many people never do.
 
That's really a beautiful way to think about it, pd. <3

Man, terribly sad news :(

I'm speechless. It feels so unfair !
Sending you love and support. We are all here whenever you need venting. . .

Stay strong my friend, not all is lost yet !
 
Very sorry to hear this, tnw :( may you have plenty of friends, family and loved ones to deal with this, you always have us!

Take mushrooms like Turkey Tail especially just before, during and after chemo, it can get your immune system which of course gets wiped out back online a lot faster.. there are plenty other medicinal mushrooms most of which actually seem to work through the immune system by their polysaccharides, although there are of course other medicinal potential... but Stamets swears by Turkey Tail for cancer and chemo in particular.

Even if just for quality of life... seems worth a shot and there is scientific basis.

I don't know all that much but I think enough to say I wish I were as brave as you've been already.. i'm not just saying that, I quite dislike platitudes..
 
Just want to send you my best wishes TNW. It's messed up you have to go through this again. Painful to read but thanks for updating us. Don't give up hope even in the face of all this even when it looks grim. It's a fight worth fighting so I hope you'll find the strength and motivation to give it your all. Wish you the best.
