Random thoughts

Post by **herbalhippie** » Tue Apr 09, 2019 1:22 pm

I used to belong to a forum that had a random thoughts thread going. For a very.long.time. People would post something random, a thought that had popped into their head, something going on, whatever. Other people might comment on it, or not. It was actually pretty neat.

Wonder if that would work here? I'll go first.

I still miss the old Godlike Productions conspiracy theory forum when Elaine owned it. Before Trinity bought it and ruined it. RIP Elaine's Godlike Productions.

HH aka herbalhippie, This. Is. Brilliant!!

Great Idea

I am a huge Random Introspective Person...

I sense this thread will become B!G from here on out.

Here's mine:
I'm irritated right now becuz I started talking to a cute girl and we have each others cell #'s but she doesnt even get back to me.
What is the damn point of having my number if you dont even get back to me??
She makes no sense.
I try to be and am patient. Idk why she acts liek this. Is she ghosting me? Is she just busy with her life.

I'm not going to analyze this BS and or am not going to blow up her phone. But for goodness sake have some respect and respond to me. We're both adults and after a week if you don't get back to me, I honestly should just move on. I care too much apparently.

She acts like she cares and yet doesnt even get back to me? WTF yeah okay that makes sense.

This generation is fkn ridiculous.

Is there really any Treasure buried on oak island?? What's up with smith's cove?? They find more artifacts with a metal detector! If there was a treasure vault,they will destroy any remains, ,I think pirate treasure is buried there,,not the Ark of the covenant, all of that,,why do I keep watching this show? I like the history of it all,and of course when the metal detector finds a "Bobby Dazzler", humm,

This is on treasure hunting how awesome it must have been to find the the SS Central America and its 15 tons of gold but as usual people get greedy.but 15 tons of gold.That guy in jail will probably be there forever since they are waiting for him to tell where a large amount of it is before they let him out.The 13 people who settled said they each recieved enough to buy a new car hmmm.I love a good story of treasure seekers even better when they find it.15 tons of gold just imagine.

I've got a few strains that have a distinctly perfumey taste. it makes me wonder if they aren't grinding up tropical flowers with the kratom.

I forget which strain it was now but a few days ago I took a dose of one and it had a faint taste of what champaca flowers smell like.

Drop her like a hot rock, there's way too many more out there to be bothered by just one. The real problem is, is that all the rest are just like her. I bounced for ten years and met plenty of crazy hotties. One night, this hottie was talking to me all night and dancing like a tramp. My manager (female) said, "She was talking to you all night, you should ask her out." I said, "Naw, I'm done with crazy for a while." She said, and I have never forgotten this, "Oh (my name), we're ALL crazy! You just have to find the level of crazy that you're comfortable with." I *still* haven't found that level.

Brutal truth spoiler: She took your number to get away from you and now she's ghosting you. Women want no accountability for their actions. Hell, I've even heard some women say that they think they're being "nice" by not rejecting a guy to his face. Sure, I'd rather think you like me, think about why you're acting this way, and stress over it. Yeah, that's MUCH nicer.... for her.

Get rid of her, man.

So, any update on the situation?
A lot of chicks like to get a guy’s # “in case they need it”. And until they do, if they do, it’s like you don’t exist. Also, insecurity (or media, sadism, sexism, emotional issues, whatever else you want to blame it on) typically makes a female enjoy being asked for her # or getting a guy’s #. However, way too often, that’s all it is, unless the guy shows he may not be that into her. Then she may change her mind. Also, women don’t like feeling like they are obligated to do something for a guy, which makes them feel like it ok to act like that. The chick has probably given her # to guys who were the same way as she is and they never called her. So she thinks it is somehow okay. Obviously, not all ladies are like this and there are tons of other explanations. Maybe she is actually in a relationship?

Re: Graceland, I know. If you ever have the chance to go, definitely tour the property. It's very cool. But still, if I got teleportation powers, one of the places on my list is the second floor of Elvis's house.

.

It's a topical for pain. Arthritis, muscle issues, tendonitis, etc. Consistency is very good, kind of like vaseline but not. It's hard to explain. It's not a true salve, because there is aloe vera and tincures in it. After I perfected the recipe I worked almost two more years to get the consistency just right.

I do sell them! At least, the version without cannabis in it, which is what I made today.

Post by **Haid3r** » Thu May 23, 2019 7:19 pm

Wow, that non-salve salve looks fantastic! Do you have an Etsy shop or a website?

My fella's in constant back pain and I can't turn him on to Kratom, he's stubborn as a mule about trying new stuff. He's a big arnica fan, though, so your liniment may be just the trick.

Yeah. I really don't know what his hangup is about it. He teases me when I tell him all that it's done for me in terms of pain, insomnia, and depression — he makes jokes like "It cures your depression! It relieves your pain! It increases your bank balance, makes you taller, and gives you a new car!"

If I were in half the pain he is 365 days a year I'd try any snake oil they put in front of me, but he toughs it out with Ibuprofen and a heating pad. Damn stubborn, that's what he is.

I used to sell on Etsy until they demanded that people start taking other forms of payment besides Paypal. So I quit.

Arnica is the s*** for pain. I love it.

I make all my own infused oils and tinctures except for the St John's wort. St John's wort is considered a noxious weed in WA St and has been eradicated. And it's illegal to ship the seed here for people to grow. When I lived in North Idaho, you couldn't walk out your front door without tripping over a patch of it, the stuff was everywhere. I've looked all over the area where I live and haven't found any and I'm not all that far from North Idaho.

Here is the ingredient list. It's kind of like a cross between Biofreeze and Tiger Balm.

Ingredients: organic arnica, cottonwood buds, St. John’s wort, helichrysum,
calendula & comfrey infused in organic olive oil, menthol crystals, emulsifying wax,
beeswax, shea butter, aloe vera gel, extracts of arnica, St. John’s wort, calendula
& comfrey, Vit E oil, essential oils of camphor, peppermint, ginger, clove, cassia,
cajeput, wintergreen, black pepper, helichrysum italicum & St. John’s wort.

I put some RVA Greens Bali, Dayak and Zareena out in the sun all summer last year. Look what color they turned! I haven't tried them yet, I will tomorrow.

Well...? What was the sun-drenched kratom like? Also I never pegged you for a conspiracy nut! (/s)
I used to love the old godlike productions as well and above top secret used to be fun also but like godlike, its taken a shill drenched turn. Shills are the bane of the internet EVERYWHERE! imagine getting a paycheck for being a shithead!

Post by **herbalhippie** » Sun Jun 09, 2019 8:31 am

Another old GLP fan!!

I peeked in at ATS occasionally when something really interesting came up, but loved GLP better.

I finally tried the sun drenched kratom. The change in taste was remarkable. I mean, really remarkable.

I think it feels different. I sent sample of the original and the sun drenched version to another member. I needed someone to experiment on, I mean....get a second opinion.

Post by **Payshince** » Sun Jun 09, 2019 9:45 pm

Oh wow!
Lots of good topics in here...

Hippie how did you store your RVA
Bali, Dayak, and Zareena outside in the sun?

In a jar or something and in direct sunlight or slightly?
Very cool !
Have you tried them yet?

I put maybe 20 grams or so in ziploc sandwich bags. Not much, so I could make them flat for more surface exposure. Then I laid them out on top of landscaping bricks out in front of my porch, where it gets sun all day, from sunup to sunset. Patted them as flat as I could. Brought them in if it was going to rain or be very windy. Doesn't rain here much, but is very sunny and hot. Shook them up and patted them flat again occasionally.

Left them out about three months? Maybe four? Major change in color and taste. Maybe in effects.

I tried the Green Zareena and sent enough for two doses of each to another member here for a second opinion.

I haven't tried the Green Dayak yet, but I gave away the packet of the original Dayak so I can't compare.

But I still have both versions of the Green Bali and I haven't tried that one yet.

eta: When I saw the thread at r/kratom about putting your kratom in the sun to try to convert mitragynine into 7-hydroxymitragynine, people were talking about putting in a sunny window in a jar for a week or so. I figured that wasn't going to do much good. Only the outside touching the jar was going to get any sunlight and it wouldn't be for that many hours a day probably. Hence the ziploc bags outside.

eta2: I think I'm going to do it again this year with different strains.

Post by **herbalhippie** » Mon Jun 10, 2019 5:16 pm

I'ma do the experiment again. THB Green Jongkong MD, Johnson's PMD, RVA Wild Green and BB Verde. 20 grams each.

I live in Arizona so leaving kratom outside in the sun on a paving brick would just melt the plastic and set it all on fire. But I’m real curious if this could be a way to improve weak kratom?

After you take a poo, do you ever take some of the turds out of the toilet with chopsticks and you try to put them back inside your body just in case you missed out on any nutrients?

I'm kind of surprised it doesn't here sometimes. It can get very hot here.

trigger wrote:But I’m real curious if this could be a way to improve weak kratom?

I'm undecided. Maybe a bit? We'll see what my second opinion person says. It certainly changed the flavor. Kind of toasty and....something else.

If you Google 'leaving kratom in the sun to convert mitragynine' there's a fair amount of discussion.

I Googled about it, curiosity got the best of me,,interesting, ,I am going to try it indoors in little jars,,set them on a mirror, ,windows in basement get lots of exposure, and the temperature is cool,,,there were a few mentions about outdoor heat could degrade instead of enhance? All I know is outdoor drenching isn't possible where I am, there were mentions of where this method turned meh into wow! Like a slap upside the head,,,so, I am up for experimentation! Lol think I'll use green reds,and meh greens,,thanks for sharing HH!
