SuaveStar Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Dubs, that is why you should always write man, you seem to be able to get sunch powerful emotions down on paper in such a quick and powerful way. Damn. You got to me as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Apologies to all. I seem to have that effect on people. I have a stack of about 15 journals in my trunk of just random stuff I've thought to write down over the years. Everyone tells me I should write an autobiography. I always say "I'm still working on the part where I conquer all and get the girl". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 My grandfather passed away a few days ago. While I was sad at first obviously, I think it's better this way. He had become a very mean, bitter, and at times, heartless person over the last couple years--especially towards my grandmother who hasn't been mentally well for years. I take solace in the fact that I hadn't seen my grandfather for the last couple years and I didn't get to witness his descent into what he became. I only have fond memories of him, and maybe I should be thankful for that, since I'm probably one of his few surviving relatives who can say that of him. I'd hate to have seen what he became and have it tarnish the wonderful memories I have of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Sorry to hear that, James. I hope that you can keep those good memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venneh Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Is it 18 federally now for cigarettes? Or is that state-to-state? And, technically, there's no legal age for hookahs. Which is why I was able to try it when I was sixteen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 On Facebook, my 17 year old sister was tagged in pictures taken at a hookah bar. That sucks horribly. On a "you're a moron/that's impressive" note, I just found out that my old best friend literally banged his girlfriend one night on top of a water tower. He works for the city's public works center, and used his knowledge of the facilities to break into the water tower grounds, then climb up to the top of the tower with his girlfriend. Apparently they didn't "intend" to screw each other while up there, but those kids are like bunnies. They always find the absolute worst places to screw each others' brains out, to the point where they could get kicked out of their parents' homes or arrested for any number of different public offenses.

Dread Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Ha! "inch"... I have a fine line for public sex: if you're fucking in a playground or a booth in a Subway, you're creepy. On top of a water tower? You're awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Also, Mike, was she smoking Hookah, or was she just there? I mean, that's a big distinction to make, there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause, I don't know legally whether or not she could be in there, but if she wasn't smoking, she wasn't doing anything illegal. EDIT: Well, then. Nevermind.

Dread Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I was wasted in Amsterdam once and walked into a hookah bar (having never been in one). I asked how much the pot was and the waitress gave me a dirty look. I said "You can't have a glorified bong in the window and get all uptight when someone wants to get high!"

Dread Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Right. In all fairness, that was about the tamest story you'll ever hear that starts with "I was wasted in Amsterdam..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 My friend was in Amsterdam for a term and told me about window-shopping for brothels. But, to be fair to the kid, there are hookah stores that sell non-tobacco stuff to smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of a water tower? You're awesome. How about at your grandparents' house during vacation, while your parents are sleeping on the other side of the piano?

Doug Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Generally aren't they smoking tobacco out of those things? Flavored tobacco, but still. How did she even get in? The legal age to smoke tobacco is 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 The thing is, I know my sister smokes cigarettes and weed, just as I know she drinks. I've come to terms with that, and have even had a frank, bonding conversation with her about it. But to see these pictures on Facebook, that's what gets me, because it's so brazen. Her mother has a FB account and is going to see these, so it's like my sister is slapping her in the face while laughing, "I know you'll see 'em, but so what?!" There's a part of me, yes, that doesn't like seeing my underage sister doing such things, but it's more the lack of respect she's showing her mother that's got me upset.
