CannaGranny’s Corner a Thread For General BS and Good Will On BudBuilders

[Garbage_bear]

I lost track of one of my old elementary thru high school friends. He went to school for training to be a cinematographer and drifted away from everyone else I knew. Last time I saw him was 1980.

We did some research and found out he ended up homeless, living in a box under a bridge on the upper west side of Manhattan. He was then stabbed to death by some rando nutcase, for the hell of it.

Knowing him, I knew it had to be some drug or another. His death came in '94, so I figure he must have gotten addicted to crack. He was on the street for a few years. It's really weird to find out stuff like this, decades after the fact.

Some additional detail -- about a year before he was killed, his mother died and he was left $10K in an insurance policy. He partied like a maniac for a month, then was back on the street.

Curious, how did you find him? I have a good friend that went off the radar many years ago and I can’t find any online record of him.

Left for Yosemite this morning around 7:30. Got into the park by 9:00 and spent mid morning and early afternoon in the valley.

There is a fire somewhere nearby that is causing the haze. It’s nice out there.

gorgeous! do they still have the visitor restrictions in place? read about them doing that at the beginning of summer given the popularity of the park.

No restriction other than $$$ at the gate.
I’m not sure what it’s up to now, I have a senior citizen park card, but I’d guess 15clams for 2 axles.

I’m certainly not afraid of heights, done some rappelling before, but climbing that thing seems crazy. It’s straight up, a long freaking way!

Dude i just told my wife like an hour ago i hate the smoke routine we have and if we dont soon change it up im just gonna smoke doobs every time i smoke. Because this having to clean bongs every time we smoke bullshit is just that, complete bullshit.. Smoking has legit become a chore for me cause she wont smoke a dirty bong, and its WW3 if i tell her to do it herself. Oh and i gotta pack her fucken bowls too cause she wont do that either.

I legit grow it all, trim it all, grind it all, pack it all, and she smokes it all..... fuck sorry, rant over.
Its been a fucken morning....

It was that way for years with me and my wife...I did all that plus provided it all...she actually smokes more now but she pays for it too so whatever. She prefers dabs but I have to literally play dab butler bc she don't like using a torch. Our ritual used to be shared...but I got tired of sitting there high as hell hearing her say "leeeets smooaaak"....fuckin why? I'm nodding out and gotta entertain that bs?

My wife has almost sucked the soul out of weed for me...it's yall, growing, and like 1 friend who always does show up ready to kick it old school style that make it still fun.

It doesn't have to be fun, it's meds to me...but it sure helps

All my buddy's "you are lucky your old lady smokes".....mmmkkay

Curious, how did you find him? I have a good friend that went off the radar many years ago and I can’t find any online record of him.

I got a lot of detail, because when we did google searches on him, we found he was mentioned in a book (on Google Books) about homeless people in NYC during the 90s. It was written by a researcher from the Netherlands. It was pure luck that this guy was on the streets of NY, interviewing homeless people around the time of his murder.

When he spoke to some of them, they were all in a frenzy because some guy stabbed "Walter" to death, and then they added some grisly detail of the death. Later, the researcher went by the overpass he lived under, and there was a hand written note about "Walter Dorfman" who was killed there, and that he was loved by his family and friends.

It was a book with a title something like "Tunnel People," or similar.

Mornin all ya complaining menz!
Round here I grow it, dry it, cure it and store it, damn right he’s rolling the stuff!

I grow it, with help from my daughter in the Bay Area and my lady in the foothills.
They don’t have there where-with-all to grow it on their own, but my lady doesn’t even smoke much, she just appreciates the fact that I’m more tolerable when I loaded. After about 2 or 3 days without, my back makes life nearly impossible to do anything.

I appreciate the help and company.

 

[CannaGranny]

Me, on the other hand, don’t want anyone in my grow.
I have had “help” twice to go on vacation and come home just to be horrified.
Drowned clones and holes at the base of my stalks from watering right at the base.. oh Lawd!
Now, I plan getaways when I can close the room down. I can live without that kind of “help” for sure!

 

[MDK]

Idk who this guy is but I'd smoke with him

If I had a dollar for everytime I didn't give a shit I'd be broke cuz I dont give a shit....wow

If you squint and turn your head to the side, you can see the profile of Rembrandt on the picture of your head!

Well I ended a 51 day tolerance break this morning and I tested out my first harvest. @Moe.Red was right when he said I'd grow buds better than anything I could get around here.

It was a $2 seed from NASC and it turned out to be delicious. A strong lemonberry flavor profile with some very frosty nugs that almost made the bowl taste like it was topped with kief.

I'm fripped and headed to bed a couple hours early tonight.

 

[TomH]

Its pretty awesome when you grow something that just blows away your expectations.
Right on!
