    My cat just died, my business and life savings were wiped out by the lockdowns and my daughters medical expenses, my reputation was destroyed by the vaccine mandates, my social circles and extended family have abandoned and rejected me for protesting during COVID, and yes, I rely on medical THC oil to prevent the downward spiral of negative emotions that would otherwise see me become angry in a way that is destructive to my family.

    But as bad as things are, I still have hope things will be better and that there are opportunities to turn things around.

    I haven't posted in that spirit recently, but maybe in light of the compounding tragedies that keep piling up, maybe that's just one thing I can do to help.
    You can do both you know!

    I always look at things with humour involved, an old army coping trick, but I also do not bury my head in the sand and ignore reality either, just like 90% of your average Canuckistani sheeple does!

      Haha, I only say that because I want you to straighten your life. I don't think I've met anyone who claimed drugs made their life better. Using drugs as a coping mechanism feeds into the addiction because it takes you away from reality.

      I hope things turn out for the better & just so you know, you always have the GOC family to air your concerns. What's good is we have never met you in person so we can't judge.

            Good video for newbie SKS buyers.

                He's working hard on getting to 3% body fat, a lean, mean commando machine. Except for the days where he enjoys a big gagger and spends the next four hours body slamming Doritos.

                    This thread was started 5 days ago. I've been patiently waiting for somebody to suggest that everyone should send each mod $50 for our long years of tireless and devoted service. I must admit that I'm a little disappointed here.

                      I just quit a volunteer job after 50+ years of volunteering for various exec positions on park boards community groups, hobby clubs, other non profits. I'm keeping that $50 cause I got no $'s

                      Well after 20 years with this club I got a thank you.
                      Other clubs and cadet orgs I got plaques and even a change machine for being the money guy.

                            I suggested cash for the mods, one of the mods must have deleted it.
                            One of you is getting greedy and wants it all!
                            You better figure out which one is being shady and trying to cut the rest out of the fortune.
