Pot is illegal. Topsy-turvey world.

Not only legal but in the case of tobacco - heavily subsidized by the US Government

Have you ever seen those shows on (I think the History Channel or Disovery) how opium and others used to be illegal, how many people were hooked on them, and how they became banned. If the US could do that, it should be able to ban tobacco. AND I'm sick and tired now that insurance is paying for bypass and obesity surgery thus increaing insurance costs, that tobacco smokers saw obesity is more harmful. Damnit, when the doc pulled you from the womb and check you had a good suck and Moro, it was to EAT, not so that you would be able to suck on cigarettes.

scuse me, mean opium used to be LEGAL, not illegal - L&L

Being asked questions by 85-YO as to what is "B'hai" and what is "Spiritualism." I am so sick of it. Keep your Bible(s) off their ...

Going to work at the local nursing home (50 residents) in the evening to help with activities and keep them interested in things. They have not had activity in a couple months as there was no one to do it, and they have made a new position, and I am it. I need some suggestions as to what we can do for about 20 minutes of activity for them. Most of them are in wheelchairs or not very ambulatory but are mentally pretty good, although in their 90s. We do the usual of being ...

Those in nursing homes have the most to fear from Paul Ryan's plan, but their families will have to try to support them. That means they will give up (1) retirement funds including 401Ks, IRAs, (2) college funds , (3) homes (4) plans for the future. This is a cruel plan. The part that hurts the elderly effects me as I think of my parents and my grandmother, but it doesn't stop there. ...
