does anyone work in any type of oil industry or whatnot?

I live in texas and I know they are raping the fuck out of west/south texas for oil sands and shit. Dudes with no skills making $30k in a few months. I have been thinking about trying to do something like that. I could stop smoking for a piss test, but for a hair test I'd be fucked. I'd probably kill myself before I got clean.

I don't work in that industry but I've heard conflicting reports about it. A lot of folks say they go out there for work and can't handle it, people say the money is not as good as claimed, other folks say the money is good but most people end up spending it all in town on off days on hookers and blow. Do some research before you commit to it that's for sure. I do know that the job security isn't the best because depending on how the Government goes you might find yourself suddenly out of a job. Also it's tied to the global price on oil which is always in flux, it's only profitable to extract it domestically from sands when the price of importing it is high. If it dips below a certain point the fields get shut down pretty quickly.

Another option if you want time away from home is trucking. Again, the money isn't as good as claimed but it's pretty much a guarantee you'll get a job if you can pass a simple test and stick with the training. First three months is the worst part because you're stuck with a trainer but after that you're on your own. Put in a year and you can go local/regional and be home more often. Pay goes from decent to really good depending on the company you work for. A lot of companies are going to hair tests but many still only do UAs. If you go to some of the forums you can find out which companies do hair testing, I know Swift (largest company in the nation) recently went over to hair tests.

I've dreamed about going to the fields, busting my ass, and retiring early too. The reality of most of those jobs I thought would allow that are the money isn't as great as you might think. Even when the money is really good it's often offset by life on the road/in a work camp which is always very expensive. Plus, living with a bunch of other guys with no women in sight leads to problems on its own.

Yah. sounds about right. Ugh. I just need to buckle my old ass down and learn a trade like plumber or something. I thought about trucking and talked to a few recruiters, but I honestly am not a great driver and I've been smoking weed for like15 years when I can. I don't really care to give it up. I dunno.

Oilfield was mostly so I could savea bunch of money Do a ton of skydives. Get ratings WOrk in the industry. Start base jumping. .... then die. Not on purpose purpose, but "that guy took risk and it was bound to happen oh well he got some sick videos before he bounced". Kinda fucked.Eve n my mom is like "oh I know that's why you want to do it so much" lol.

I'm just stuck as fuck right now. I'm gonna go up and try this Kambo shizz for three days and hopefully come back with a better attitude about life. If I didn't feel like shit everyday I wouldn't mind entering a long schooling program or trade even thouh i'm in my 30s. ;-/

Man Headphones, that sucks. :( It never ceases to amaze me how much places even care if people use drugs. But alcohol is always fine. So dumb.

I've got a random drug test coming soon. I just got back from a music festival, I did LSD and alcohol so no problems there. But my ex now appears to want to go to court. I was reading about divorce court last night and it started to make me anxious, and I was already feeling really worn down and exhausted and strange post-festival. As I laid in bed I started getting a panic attack feeling starting. It started to get unbearable and eventually I said fuck it, I'm freaking out, I tried to shake it for an hour or so with no success, and took some etizolam. Which worked like a charm, but it's possible that today will be the drug test. I was reading a bit and it said the most common drug test is the standard 5-panel which doesn't include benzos. And etizolam is a thienodiazepine anyway, though I doubt it would matter. So I dunno, I guess we'll see. If I fail it for a benzo I'd just tell him the truth, that I was having a panic attack and needed to interrupt it. They won't kick me out or anything, in fact he said it's common for people to fail early on. I still hope I don't though.

When was the last time you took any? A single dose might not show up.
 
hello fellow travellers,

myself i am just coming down from a 4 blotter dose. at the tail end of the morning, some guy gave me an mdma pill on my way out. checked at ecstasydata, of course after i already took it - red alert pill because of 225mg mdma.

tried vomiting it out, but I guess the mdma wont kill me for now?

ideas?
 
You'll be fine, you'll probably get high as hell. But in the future, avoid taking random pills before checking them out, yeah? :)

It was Saturday late night so like 36 hours before the potential test. Anyway he didn't drug test me so I'm good.

I did, however, find out that if I can't work something out with my ex through mediation or something, there is a very good chance I will be forced to sell my house and give her half the value that it appreciated while we were actively married. :| I dunno for sure, I need to talk to my lawyer but I was talking to another guy at my alcohol group who went through divorce in this state recently. If I can prove she was abusive things may work out differently, but that's difficult to prove. Apparently her not contributing any money to the house doesn't matter. Trying to just live my life and do whatever I can about it without getting too pissed off but it kinda looks like she's been playing me all along and she's not as incompetent as it seems. Fuck I hate that woman. If I end up having supported her through our whole marriage with shelter, food, clothing, excuses, and being a punching bag (I was the punching bag) while she sat and watched TV and bitched at me whenever I asked her to help, then given her free storage for 5 years, and now have to give her half of all my stuff, it's going to be almost inconceivably unjust.

Grr.... so tired of thinking about this bullshit. Broke up 5 years ago and we weren't even communicating... seems so stupid I still have to deal with this.
 
sounds like finding the best lawyer you can afford might be worth the money. =/
 
I already paid the retainer on this other guy... but it seems like there might be a better one available...
 
Planning on attempting a mescaline trip.

Will Peruvian Torch powder murder my belly. I plan on smoking herb on the come up when the body load sets in. Was reading on the Nexus that rolling up the snot into balls and drying it to eat slowly spaced out. Gonna do this with 50 grams with my girlfriend and eat um till they disappear. Im hoping this goes smoothly.

Probably have a shroom trip sooner and plan the other out more so in the meantime.

But its happening, ive samples numerous mescaline analogs over the years but never the compound itself.

Im excited :)
 
Cactus definitely produces more nausea than most things. I find it bearable but then my stomach is quite strong.

But cactus is the way to go with mescaline. The pure compound is less psychedelic (but still wonderful). Mescaline is really special, you should have a blast. :) It feels really good in the body, you'll probably have nausea on the come-up but after that it should be golden.

Each state has different laws, but when I went through a divorce back in 1989 it went way worse than that. Basically my ex-wife got possession of my grandmothers house (that I had inherited), and the court awarded me with half the appraised value. She even changed the locks on the door while I was at work so I had to scramble to find a place to stay the first night.

Yeah, you heard that right. She got control of the house and I just got money. It totally sucks the way most states deal with this.
 
It wouldn't be that bad (in NC for example, anything inherited belongs solely to the person who inherited it), they have "equitable distribution" laws and unless my lawyer can convince them that there is a reason why it's unfair for her to get half, I will have to give her half of the difference in appraised value at the time we separated (which was 5 years ago) vs what I owe now. One reason (of the few) they consider is if one party committed adultery... my ex did tell my friend she had feelings for him before we separated, which he would testify to, but as far as I can tell, they don't care about that unless you have sex with someone else.

She would also get half of my retirement account, but just the balance of it when we separated which was a lot less than now. Still, fuck both of those things, that useless bitch was nothing but a drain on me the whole time we were together, contributed nothing despite our agreement that after she graduated grad school she would contribute, while I paid for everything including helping her pay down her student debt, all while she berated me endlessly and brutally for everything, especially whenever I tried to express my anxiety about being the sole breadwinner for no particular reason (no kids, she didn't even take care of the house, I did that also). Fortunately the student debt was acquired before we were married in its entirety because otherwise I might end up having to take on half of that too.

I fucking love my house. If I have to sell it I'll be screwed because everything costs way more around here now than it did 10 years ago when I bought it. :\ The whole situation just really fucking pisses me off. And if she gets awarded one or both cats, she won't be able to properly take care of them and it'll be really traumatic for them because they don't even know her anymore. She couldn't even afford to rent a U-Haul to come get her stuff, she can't afford ~$200 per month per cat for their prescriptions and prescription food.

If she cared so much about this stuff why did she wait 5 years?

I'm so tired of thinking about this... my brain is like a broken record, I realize, but I can't get past it for very long.
 
You have proof you helped her pay her student debt? Surely that would count against anything she'd get.
 
I hope so. Mostly she deferred it but I did help one of them for a while.

It'll be fine... even if I have to sell my house, I still have a good life and I'll be fine. Also I bet my parents would give me a good interest-free loan if I have to pay her a bunch of money. They hate that bitch at least as much as I do at this point.
 
damn that suxxxxx xorkoth.

FWIW I was taking etiz daily and never popped for benzos on a cup test (and I took a few dif ones). Popped for weed but no benzos once or twice. Even after drinking like 2 gal of water. Passed like 20 other times, but not those times. haha. i think those cups are just fucked up and they get you to admit shit. I got lucky though, my county was so busy they just said "don't fucking do it again"
 
That's good to know, though I am trying to avoid drugs in general during this period of time because it's never a bad thing.

I feel a little better today. Trying to learn to let this stuff roll off me without mentally obsessing or getting too consumed in rage. Even if the rage is justified.
 
Yah. Your gonna have to because youre definatly in a rage inducing time right now. At least you got a good girl to help you through it, friends, blahblah. Say, have you read the new Sanderson yet? I havent picked it up. I think im gonna re read the 2nd stormlight then get oathbreaker.

Also, I'm getting pretty excited to try Kambo this next week. It's weird how depressed I was a few days ago, but now the possibility that something might actually help me is motivating me to travel like 8 hrs by fuckin greyhound. Book an airbnb or some shit. chill in a city by myself for 3 days just to get burned and puke. Lol. From all I've read though I'm stoked and hope it gets rid of this "everything sucks and fuck fuck fuck" air that I am drowning in.
 
Good luck yepyep I hope it's a good strong reset for you. Sounds like you need a good purge right now.

 
I hope it works out for you too, man. <3

Which new Sanderson? I read Oathbreaker, wasn't aware of a new one. I'm reading the First Law series by Joe Abercrombie right now, they're quite good. Swilow recommended them to me at the same time as Malazan. They're no Malazan, but then again, what is? But I'm enjoying them a lot.
