The Herb Problem in Colorado


Today I am still thankful that marijuana is legal in Colorado despite the challenges it poses.

The only reason I fought for legal weed was my irritation with civil forfeiture laws.

I was disgusted when I heard of a little old lady losing her home because her grandson was found with a doobie.

I don't smoke.

I never have.

It's a good thing, too.

I'm highly allergic to hemp and cannabis.

I thought hemp was like wool - itchy!

Well....it turns out I'm allergic to wool, too.

I decided that I wanted fresher herbs for my tea.

I want fresh organic mistletoe leaves.

I'd like fresher slippery elm bark and sheep sorrel too.

I think I bought the ingredients when a friend of mine came down with cancer in 2004.

He died within days.

I am having a hard time finding the ingredients locally, so I decided to conduct a Google search.

All I can find are recreational pot stores in my area!

Oh my goodness - there is more than one medicinal herb in this gosh-forsaken town!

Besides.....one doesn't have to take a substance classified as an illegal drug by the feds to have fun.

If you want an adventure, drink mugwort tea.

That stuff is better than acid.

Okay....don't do that.

It could kill you or give you vertigo.

The hallucinations are insane, though.

Take care of you and don't waste your life away doing drugs.

You'll miss too much.

Love ya lots,

S.

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing?  I imagine they sing songs like this.   I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call  but   wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again.  I probably should document this somewhere.  My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis.  She is his cousin.   I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law.   She wanted me to plan interventions.   This happened with a baby shower.  It also happened with a wedding.  The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car).   I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004....

Venus Meditations

  Today I am thankful for my new realization.  In my world, Friday is the day of love (reminds of The Cure - lol).  It's true.  Friday is the day of Venus.  Exhausted as I was after work, I went to my altar and lit a candle asking that my friend find whatever his life is lacking. Then I went upstairs and did my Friday night ritual to Aphrodite.  I lit a candle asking that I gain confidence in my ability to love.  I also ask that I recognize true love.  I was too exhausted to linger so I tried to fall asleep.  Have you been too tired to sleep?  It's horrible.  Your mind goes round and round -  you might recall things that happened recently (like the doctor telling me to be careful because I haven't hit menopause yet and I say, "not worried about it" while thinking that it's a good time to be in a sexual drought - hooray for me),  or things going on at work  (that I can hypnotize little cranky babies to sleep without sa...

Internet Personalities (with Edits)

Today I may or may not be thankful for crazy internet personalities. I think the jury is still out with regard to one person.  I think this man and I met on a stalking page at Google+ a couple of years ago.  This guy used to have great ideas for keeping Shannon at bay.  He told me to buy a bar for the front door.  He mentioned switching the locks and had various other ideas to help me.  This man is fairly young. He's also a voice over artist, like I am. For some reason, he's been copying and sharing my statuses on Facebook every day for about three months. Some of my status updates are incredibly personal. At first, I didn't mind. I don't know what to think now.  I have to say that he is NOT a Facebook friend. He does not follow me on Facebook, Google, Twitter, or any other social network. He simply copies and shares my stuff.  I get a little notification every time he shares and likes something. Lately, he's star...
