As adults, we all make choices... I went without weed for long periods, many years at a time while out trucking, due to the random testing scene. All well and good, but now that I'm in my 50s and things are falling apart from hard usage, I find chronic to be the best form of pain management. Never did like prescription meds, they just don't work as well... when I had my hernia operation in '98, the doctor gave me a bottle of Percosets (?), and that junk was useless, I went through the bottle in record time and the cr@p didn't do a thing for me. The doctor expressed surprise when I asked him for something stronger:
"You went through the whole bottle already???"
My response:
"NEXT TIME, GIVE ME SOMETHING THAT WORKS."
On a side note, he noticed me squirming as the staples were removed from my belly, and he told me, "Infants have this procedure done."
My response:
"BETTER THAN GETTING SHANKED IN THE GUT AT 35..."
You should've seen his face, it was almost comical: "SHANKED IN THE GUT?!?!?"
Much of pain management consists of calming down the patient and eliminating anxiety about the immediate future... weed does just that, and it does it better than those nasty prescription meds with all their negative side effects. Moi, I'll take the organic medicine over the chemical cr@p any day of the week. And it IS medicine for those with chronic pain issues. I don't really have bad chronic pain like some folks, but I overdo things every now and then and flare-ups occur. I also have a right shoulder and left knee which will never be 100% again, short of expensive reconstructive surgery, but I've learned to live with those. Most of the time, if I'm careful, they don't bother me that much. Maybe one day I'll be in a position to get that surgery done, maybe not... I'm okay with it, it's all part of the aging process. In the meantime, I'll cut loose whenever I feel like it, I have a "weed card" from a licensed M.D., a precaution I took only to prevent these lying greaseball cops and scrub Epic Darwin Failure D.A. from slinging more bull$h!t charges... at $40 per year, it's the best and cheapest insurance I ever purchased in my life.
Well, it's feeding time at the zoo, and I hafta give Taco & Wingnut their meds, both are coming along nicely with their healing processes, and Wing should have the drains removed from his starboard leg mañana. He'll be a happy camper once that happens, I reckon, though he still has to wear "The Cone of Shame" for another week, maybe a few days if his recovery is swift. Dealing with all these animals recently, I feel somewhat tired, so I reckon a big ol' nap is in the cards this afternoon. First I have chauffeur duty on the regular Balboa Naval Hospital run, and I also have to change the water in the aquarium, though that might wait one day if I'm really tired by the time I return from Balboa. It's my elderly mum who has the routine appointment, but getting her out the door and loaded into the car is always a hassle, and I won't even get started on the drives, LOL. Every time some stupid wetback pulls a dangerous maneuver near the Camry, I sound off about it, and the ol' argument rears its ugly head... at her age, hailing from a different generation and all, she doesn't understand the negative impact of these wetbacks upon American society, nor does she grasp the huge costs involved, costs relayed directly to American taxpayers.
Meh, no need to get started on all that b.s., or I'll be here all week. "The Donald" will set things straight once he's in the Oval Office. He has heard all about my long ordeal at the hands of these lying greaseball cops and evil perv scumbucket D.A., that nasty scrub, not to mention their criminal involvement in the Zahau murder cover-up, Cynthia Sommer case, Foley shooting, and countless other sketchy incidents and cases of malicious prosecution. I told "The Donald" that he could garner MILLIONS OF VOTES NATIONWIDE by vowing to crack down on these out-of-control, wannabe-militarized, lyin' badge-sportin' greaseballs and the criminal scum who routinely protect them, not to mention their bull$h!t pension scams wherein they retire at my age, collecting 100% of their salaries and benefits. I told Trump he had a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY IN HIS HANDS with the ZAHAU MURDER COVER-UP: that case garnered GLOBAL PUBLICITY, and it could do the same for him if he vowed to reopen the investigation, using independent federal agencies under his direct command, and not these lying greaseball cops, scumbag sheriff, and crooked scrub perv D.A.
"The Donald" also heard about that whole "prison realignment" scam cooked up by turkey-necked scrub Brown, that slimy maggot... a scam where innocent law-abiding citizens are falsely charged and their bail jacked sky-high, ensuring false imprisonment for at least six months while crooked greaseballs rake funding money, $10 GRAND PER MONTH PER "INMATE"---guess who pays for all of that? Furthermore, I pinged on greaseball "school administrators" like the scumbag who lied under oath in my latest round of false charges, a documented liar who went unpunished because the scrub perv D.A. had his back, the same way she had the other documented liar's back in my first costly jury trial. More dirty swine slurping at the public trough, these school administrators with their ridiculously bloated salaries and pensions... the dirty swine. I'll see that one f@ggot lose his job, or I'll die tryin'... I could go on forever here, but ya gets my drift, and trust me, "The Donald" is hearing all about it in the greatest of detail, LOL. I'll see that nasty criminal scrub perv D.A. taken down yet, along with her lying goombah f@gtard minions and her gay little robed sodomite pocket judges, those criminal scum o' the earth.
"YA F___ WITH THE BOONE FAMILY, YA GETS THE HORNS, BI-YATCHES!!!!!"
Alright, now it's time to feed and dose the animals, LOL. ADIOS!!!
