As to giving up, we Texans never give up! I will find the "Kind" eventually, and so will you. I hesitate to discuss Karma here because my Karma ran over my dogma. However, all good things come to those who wait. Eventually we will find someone who is trusting enough or we will meet someone who comes to know and trust us and the availability will manifest itself. It is just a matter of time... Despite my previous rant, there are too many good people around here and on this board for us to go without permanantly. Just keep the faith.

BTW, I too am married to one who does not partake, but is tolerant of my choice.

Onward, I hope you feel better. I look forward to the day when you are less stressed and perhaps we can all get together for a bbq, picnic, or campout and all "light it up".

LiftUrHead, thanks for the thoughts. For all the other good natured Texas Stoners out there, Have a good weekend.
Thanks for the good words. I do feel better today after that massage, but the pain I suffer from is lifelong and at times can be pretty brutal. When I smoke, for some reason it seems to lessen the pain and make it at least tolerable. Much, much, much more tolerable than hydrocodone, vicodin, percocet, and all the other prescriptions I get. It just amazes me that our government denies people such a tremendously helpful pain reliever.

Living in pain 24 hours a day, to the point that you can't sleep for days on end and just the mere activity of standing up out of a chair is excruciating, makes life pretty rough at times. When I first heard Montel Williams discuss his agony with pain in his lower legs and feet due to his multiple sclorosis, it hit me like a ton of bricks. That's exactly what I feel all the time, even when I'm asleep. The pain in my lower legs and feet wakes me up several times a night, and not even the most powerful pain medicines or muscle relaxers help. But just a few puffs of a natural herb makes it where I can walk and live somewhat normally.

Anyway, I wish we could find a way to rule out any of us being one of the bad guys and actually meet each other. If nothing else, we could make some new friends who share similar interests.

You folks have a great day Sunday and enjoy a puff for me!!
Onward!
