:jointsmile: High there boys and girls- wow, haven't checked in for a few days and I missed EVERYONE. Birdgirl is a fabulous woman, but I am sure she has scores of friends, though I am lucky to be a new one. If I were to name all of the sweethearts I have become acquainted with over the past 4 months, the list would be longer than my garden inventory! And like someone accepting an award, there would no doubt be many left off by mistake.

But cliques?To me it seems it is actually a bit harder for real "cliques" as we know them to gain a foothold here since we all mix and merge and talk together about such a wide variety of interesting topics- one minute you could be hanging in the grower's forums talking nutes, the next minute, visiting the politics section, discussing nukes. It's lovely how we can hook up with so many different people to share so many different facets of ourselves, whereas in life we tend to be thrown into more specialized groups- the work group, the class group, and within those groups, cliques certainly can form. In high scholl I was in the "brainy freak clique, drugs and debate was our specialty! But here, all you have to do is say
"see you later" to one set of buddies, and mosey on over to another.

Others said it before me- the bond we all share is an appreciation of the benefits of cannabis, so because of that, we are ALL COOL.:thumbsup:

I'm sitting at my computer, having a big cup of coffee, and my second bowlful from Green Swirly, and I am off to troll the forums. See you there!
