Well to be honest I'd be much more comfortable using pot medicinally than many of the prescription painkillers/anti-depressants out there I think it has more potential to provide a workable resolution given that it's dosing is flexible and it's damn near impossible to overdose.
Around here you can still get a halfway decent oz for about $100-150. That amount would last me an entire month...smoking daily. But you have to admit that the more you smoke the less effective the pot is. At some point the people have to build a tolerance. Even at your figures, it's still $320 an ounce
Yep you read that right. Leave it to California to find another way to distribute marijuana legally but illegally. Link to the Story The armored, black boxes have been installed in at least three locations, one at the Timothy Leary Medical Dispensary in the San Fernando
I don't know about this one. My wife had two surgeries for endometriosis. The first was done by a hack surgeon who caused a lot of scar tissue. The second was done by one of the best in the country. Unfortunately, the first doctor did so much damage that her tubes were left blocked and the second couldn't do anything to repair them. We had very little chance of getting pregnant naturally due to the blockage. We started talking to a fertility
After looking at the time stamps on yours and Draginol's articles, I realized why this is so bad. You should have put more than five minutes of thought into this.

[quote]Isn't there some sort of substantial tax break involved in buying a hybrid, though? [/quote] I just plugged the purchase of a Prius into my tax software for 2007. It added a $1575.00 deduction and $0.00 increase to my refund. Big incentive there if you can't find any other deductions.
[quote] I would love to retrofit the house, but it is so very expensive that I can't justify it.[/quote] I agree. The cost/benefit ratio is way off for totally retrofitting a house. However, there are a ton of great energy savers you can do. Compact fluorescents are great. Motion sensing lights are a great add on. If there is no motion in a room for a specified period of time, the light switches off. Fluorescents don't work for us. The light is too bright and the frequency cau
[quote]That's part of the frustration. Ya know the ol' "We can send a man to the moon" but we can't come up with a power source which frees us from the machinations of unstable countries?[/quote] The issue with coming up with a 'new' power source is the people in control have no reason to make a change. The existing alternative fuels are not efficient. They cost more because they cost more to manufacture. I don't think we will see a viable change to the energy market until we

It's cool to rail about Al Gore and how much more energy he consumes than the average household (yeah I know he made a 20% improvement). The problem is that [B]we all[/B] have to make changes to make a difference
[quote]Several homes around us have large solar panels on their houses. I wonder how much it helps their bills and how much area inside the home must be used.[/quote] Solar panels are actually not very efficient. They are working with nano-technology to improve their ability to absorb multiple wavelengths of light. When solar panels become super efficient, this technology will be great. I don't think someone who just adds a couple of panels to the roof of their house is going
[quote]But guess what? That ain't gonna happen. I work hard for the things that I have and for the bills I pay and unless this country wants to control my daily consumptions, I am going to consume what makes me happy. I'm not gonna spend the rest of my life worrying about how I am affecting the world when the technology to make a difference is out of my reach.[/quote] It is this mentality alone that proves my point.

[quote]It's this kind of attitude, of people like you pointing fingers, that prevent people from making a difference because every time someone tries to make a difference, someone else always points out how its not enough instead of saying thank you for trying. That's why people say "fuck it".[/quote] I really had no intention of starting some sort of pissing match with you. I was pointing out that fuel efficiency isn't the answer if you still drive as far.

I imagine a change over to an alternate fuel won't be over night. That's one of my major issues with alternate fuels. It all sounds great but you can't get rid of the gas machines overnight. I passed a Fiero on my way home yesterday. That guy either doesn't have the funds to change vehicles or is attached to his death trap. At best an a
I sick of hearing what ifs and this source or that source is better. I just want to see some results. I work in oil and gas for an engineering and production company. Reducing our dependency on domestic oil would seriously hurt my livelihood. That doesn't mean I'm not for a lower price at the pump. I'm just sick of hearing people complain about paying the high price for gas without doing anything to effect change. I can't change the price of
They aren't all they are cracked up to be. I have a Thermaltake Xaser and I can't use the screwleass on either of my TV tuners, my sound card or my video card. I can use it on the slot covers, the PSU fan control slot cover, the 4port USB slot cover and my wireless network card. The clips get hung up on every card I use except for the tiny little one. What's worse is I still have to use screws and I have to do it around all of that plastic for the scre

Like TW said, I can't imagine dealing with 3 Ashley's! Well it wouldn't exactly be three Ashley’s. You are going to have one like her and one like the neighbor's baby and one like your friend's baby. Each one of them is different. They each require things to be their own way. I keep writing it but I do
But instead they messed with people trying to do their jobs. Yeah, if they had nailed them all at once it would have been a prank. Going around one by one isn't really a prank since the punch line takes so long to deliver.
I think it is a great prank! It could have been better done if they had a high powered device on a pole and shut them all down at once. It's CES for Pete's sake. No where on earth is there a larger collection of nerds. (maybe one day I'll be able to count myself as one of them) They invent devices like the anoy-a-tron and air-zookas, marshmallow blasters and usb laser guided missile launchers and desktop sized trebuchets and catapults. <B

Reply By: dynamaso Posted: Sunday, January 13, 2008 Congratulations to you and your wife for making it through the first year. They really are beautiful kids. Thanks ... sorry I deleted the original after fixing the formating.
It all started way before this and some of you may know all of the history and some may not. There is ten years worth of wanting that brought us to this point. I guess ten years is long enough because at ten years and one day our dream came true.
