I don't understand the appeal of putting marijuana in everything, what can I say, I've never tried it and never plan to. I have nothing against weed as long as people don't smoke it in public, but last time I visited one of my cousin's house, there were joints everywhere and the whole place smelt like a burning rainforest.
They use cannabis oil I believe (wouldn't actually know as my cookies just have butter in them) :m_pan:and chocolate chips, or raisins or whatever (I like Skor bits)

I'm sorry. I was just answering Neesy's question about salons reopening here. I didn't mean to open a can of worms.
Thanks for answering my question (and since the title of the thread is Random Thoughts I don't think there is any "topic" as such)

:wink-new:

Ooops - I just realized what they were talking about - how politics seems to creep into almost every single d*amn thread! (I get it now)
:no_pig:

My great-grandfather (Mr. Henry) wrote a letter to my great-grandmother (Essie) in September 1926 asking for her hand in marriage. I own the actual letter: four brittle, ivory pages from a Steno pad scrawled in pencil; his jaunty words tilting forward, as if in expectation. It's enclosed in the original faded sparrow's egg envelope and postmarked with ALABAMA in smudged black ink. He can't wait until the day he can "take the train into Birmingham" to see her and hold her, he writes, and he lovingly chides her for threatening to "stomp that girl" who was goading her into a fight at the river; he winks and throws her kisses. I can scarcely believe it's almost a century old.

(Anyone else own any old photographs or family letters? I'm fascinated by family history chronicled in diaries or letters.)
My great-grandfather on my dad's side was supposed to come to America aboard the Titanic. My grandpa told me about it when the Cameron movie was in theaters. He had one third class ticket. He was going to come and get established and send for the rest of the family when he could. He decided last minute to wait until they could come together.

My great uncle's branch of the family has the Titanic ticket still. If my great grandfather had gotten on that ship, I likely would have never existed.
