Hello Friends and Acquaintances. I am an amateur botanist and gardener. This year I'm having spectacular success with some if not most of my plants except for the random pineapple plant that literally just fucking disappeared??? I would love to know what happened to it???

I also work at a church.

We recently had some renovations done and one of the builders had a join (or several??) behind our church and anyway. Lets just say that on Sunday I dug out FIVE??? cannabis plants. Mostly because I don't want the conservative grandmothers to start flinging their poo at us but also because I wanted to see if I could grow them. I mean. Waste not, want not.

As an aside, in my country it is legal to cultivate cannabis for personal use.

I could tell the plants were sativa, but obviously not the strain. I figured, knowing my country, it was definitely some backyard rando strain.

Unfortunately the soil they fell on was rocky and the roots were shallow and tangled in the rocks I tried my best but my Church Ganja has died. I just couldn't get the roots out.

So, I have obtained some seeds. No, I won't tell you how or where. The one strain is extremely potent at 25-30% THC. They are also sending me a "sampler" pack to try out various other strains.

They arrive in 3 days. I expect to plant them on Christmas day.

I probably am only going to smoke it once just as a test but I don't want it to start tempting me back into smoking tobacco. I am not allowed to sell it (lol jail bad ok?). So therefore, I am probably going to make edibles.

Would any of you be interested in looking at pictures and/or reading about the progress as I learn how to cultivate and process? Maybe recipes? Asking questions?

Hi there!
I have a suggestion for two possible forums:

1. Graphics
   Sometimes you just need help and I would, as a graphic artist love to help out the community by donating time to people that need graphics done for their websites.
2. Wiki Help
   I'm a wiki guru and love to help out, and since so many MUs are dependent upon wikis, maybe a forum here to request help or code or how tos. I'd love to put some tutorials together for this forum, too.

I also met my husband online. We met in early 2000 when I was only 14/15ish (he was 17) and we met and married 3 years later. It wasn't on a MU though, and I consider myself really lucky. Those were the days before webcams and voice chats were a real THING .

Next year we'll have been together for 20 years, married for 16.

I consider us very very lucky.

Cough syrup that works.

Fuk yis.

So far, the staff have been 10/10. In other words helpful especially during CG and active and friendly.

There is quite a bit of RP to be had but I need to get my head out of my socially awkward ass and start asking for it.

As soon as my little break is over.

You know what my kid said to me today when I asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up?

A youtuber.

Times are a changing. And I have to admit even I "follow" certain people.

The King of DIY Joey had the ugliest and yet prettiest and most personable fish I've ever seen. Named Frank. I cried like a fucking BABY when Frank died. I still watch his channel, and I still want to keep fish one day.

Lofty Pursuits Greg makes hard candy the old fashioned way. There's something about how it's made and his voice that's ultra satisfying/soothing.

Unexplained Mysteries I love my top 10 weird/unexplained shit and I place the blame fully upon Robert Stack's shoulders. Anyway, stuff I fall asleep to.

Best Ever Food Review Show If you like seeing a gigantic awkward sweaty white guy experience cultures through their food, Sonny's show is for you. I'm usually not a fan of food review shows (they're monotonous), but him and Andrew Zimmern I like.

There's only a handfull of my subscriptions... so why don't you show me some of yours?

Or maybe she's derpy/ADHD as fuck and forgot she had signed up and then tried to join the site later and realized, "Hey, I already have an account.. oh yeah!" and then thought to herself "Fucking sweet, I already have messages!" and didn't bother to check the dates.

That'd be me.

I have known one of my closest IRL friends for about 20 years was a flat earther for a while and we have finally gotten him to stfu on social media about it but now.....

Now he is a 5G corona believer, man.

Used to be someone I considered one of the most intelligent men I have ever known. Now I am just disappoint.

My husband was bitten by a brown recluse spider right next to his dick.

The first thing my mom says is "I hope it's not an STD".

*ETA: Brown recluse spiders do not carry STDs.

Then, she's checking to make sure I have anti virus (like who doesn't) and is going to force me to download signal because discord and facebook don't have end to end encryption and now she's an expert.

Fucking boooooooooooooomers.

I currently live in South Africa, so "odd off peak hours" are basically the only thing I do - I see there's moderate activity but I'm sure if me and the rest of the weird hourlings stick together, it'll just get better from here on out.

@fortydeuce Welcome to the most addictive MU I have ever come across. I think we have crossed paths ICly within the last two or three days.

I had to take a brief break previously, not because of any fault of the game, and I have jumped back in with both feet. Thankfully, I have an etch-a-sketch memory and the ability to do pretty near complete memory wipes and I get to rediscover the game again. Ugh. It's oh so addictive that I think I spend about 12 hours logged in a day, so hey if you need any help I know exactly your situation. Let me know if there's anything I can help with.

Ugh I think this post needs to go into the hog pit I have a bone to pick with @Apos for not offering counseling services for the withdrawal I've had. (I'm joking).

But also seriously damn this game for sucking up every ounce of free time I have. Crazy about it.

I hope you know what you're getting in to. You've been warned. I hope you don't have a life. It's now Arx. Arx is life.

@Rinel Right? Thankfully my addiction wasn't as bad as it could have been, but my tolerance had grown so much that I was needing to take like 10 to 15mg at a time for the same "buzz" that .5 to 1mg was giving me when I first started.

I didn't have much of a choice with going cold turkey. I didn't have any more available and to be honest no one knew about my addiction. Not my friends or boss or husband or any family. I was embarrassed that something like that could happen to me (I do not have an addictive personality, as they say) but it's just so easy when your tolerance is through the roof to take more.. and more... and more.

The doctor that gave it to me didn't prepare me for the reality of benzos though. He didn't tell me about how addictive they were, or how dangerous or anything like that. I should have done my research but I was just so goddamn happy to get rid of my anxiety. I had started doing weird repetitive scratching on my hands with my nails, tearing the flesh off without realizing it and in my line of work (tattoo artist) having open sores on your hands is a pretty fuckin' bad idea. But I couldn't control it. I have no idea where it came from!

I also, near the end, had trouble with memory and just... felt slightly drunk all the time? But also.. numb?

Benzos are a hell of a drug.

@Pandora I haven't heard of it! When it comes to video games when my friends talk about it I just kinda get a blank stare.

I HAVE been known to finish a few games in the past. Uh. Kingdom Hearts for PS2. Fable! Like all the Fables. Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 for PS2 (but because I played with my husband and kept stealing all the loot sorry not sorry ) and maybe Bloodrayne back in the day because who doesn't like scantily clad vampires kicking nazi ass?

No but really you seem to have found a game that's RIGHT UP my dang alley. I am definitely going to get it tonight and give it a try.

My MIL supports me but not to her face.
She will never tell my SIL the Truth of the matter.
My MIL just wants peace at any cost, even if the cost is my sanity or hers.

So I wrote her a short message and told her some things I knew about what she's been saying about me and husbando and her motives behind it and also that I didn't want any contact with her any more and she's banned from being a part of my family (husband and child's_) life.

I choked for a while to be honest. I don't want to stress my mother in law out any more, but the woman is tearing her apart. She is tearing ME apart.

Another story. On my kid's birthday (5 days ago now) she came over by surprise, and just waltzed into my room, walked in the door and I didn't have any pants on to say hi to my kid. When I was busy trying to get us both ready for guests we weren't expecting. Like... WTFS.

It was also the day we got the news my MIL's sister has cancer in her esophagus.

So later she proceeded to drink several glasses of wine and bitched to my MIL when she showed up 10 mins later about how horrible her life is -- for two hours. My MIL was just torn the fuck up, trying to hide it all and not break down at her grandson's party.

But she did break down eventually and my SIL's reaction was a cool "Oh I heard about that is she ok?" like it was the most casual thing in the world. MIL was very upset about how callous she was.

But I'm finished, I have gotten a lot off of my chest, and from now on that's it.

My MIL will have to respect my decision for the health of my family and sanity.

I'm so glad other people started sharing because I was nervously awaiting the next reply like, "Well I hope SOMEONE replies with a story, otherwise this thread is going to definitely be me just oversharing to the whole of MSB. Repeatedly."

These were great, and put a smile on my face. Thank you!

@TheOnceler I just died. Loudly, and squawking and clapping like a seal.

@surreality I love how this has a happy ending (you made it home safe physically... if not completely scarred for life mentally/emotionally) because I was literally bracing myself for sharks or war. I was thinking it might end with "... and that's how I got this here scar...."

My six year old has learned how to dab.

When I started taking anti depressants a few years ago the first morning "after" when I was waking up, I heard the entire song of Alice Cooper's Poison to the point where when I woke up I asked my husband to stop being an asshole and turn the music down.

Turns out it was my brain that was the asshole.
