Drinking!
Jaysus, I wish I could. I had an extreme reaction to weed the one time I tried it. My young bro was dealing at the time. There was him, my then girl friend , me and an enormous spliff. First I threw up. Then I hallucinated. Apparently I later drove my girlfriend home and drove back to my place, a 60 mile round trip. I don't remember doing that.
I've been spending a lot of time here. Plus some house work, a novel experience for me.. Today I'm re-moth proofing everything. I bought 150 camphor balls from India for $15 on Ebay. Here they work out to $1 each
Have also ordered some surgical face masks on Ebay; $15 for 20. Not cheap, but I think a good idea to have some. I still need to go out sometimes; doctor, pharmacy, some food shopping. Today I need bread and milk.
Petrol is 87 cents a litre.that's down from $1.60 a litre. I guess there must be a slump in the demand for petrol. How sad for the oil companies, my heart bleeds. NOT
Stay safe everyone
...doG...part of this is a stress relief
A much needed one and rarely done on my part...depleting account - “busy” lines for Emerg support- an ex who fucked off for a 20 yr old - Hoover vacuum cleaners for offspring - and a fuckin door and a half of snow overnight!!!! It’s my pity party that I can have on April fools for a fuckin 2 hours before I have to make supper
Kewl
Cranky...” Petrol is 87 cents a litre.”
On my Facebook a funny 20 some odd wrote that they thought this price was courtesy of the gov’t to make sure we could afford to get around
...omg...” an ex who fucked off for a 20 yr old - ”
I can’t believe I wrote this! Ok just so you know. Since meeting her he became a baker - has to throw flour to find the wet spot !!!! Lol!!!!
@Whitefire
. "Since meeting her he became a baker - has to throw flour to find the wet spot !!!! Lol!!!!'
Wow! A really old, REALLY nasty old joke. Still a lot of hurt and anger there I think.
I don't think I'm allowed to post my knick name for my ex here . It contains a C bomb and is considered really sexist by some. ---I can post the origin of the coarse name -----"refrigerator woman"
@White.
"-- an ex who fucked off for a 20 yr old "
Oh dear, . I empathise. My ex left to find the perfect man. Came home from work one Friday and she had left, with the help of her sister and a moving van.---
Some things are harder to forgive than others. For me it's betrayal of trust.
Hey Cranky... ate some food :)
No anger or hate. I don’t care and he and his girlfriend deserve each other. But he didn’t leave for looks ;)
My pity party is over. Thoroughly enjoyed and needed it!
My “hurt” besides the betrayal of trust, was discovering the man wore a mask.
Makes me feel happy I have stayed single. Though I have been a family therapist for years, I have never understood the attraction people have to getting married. And the fact that the Government involves itself through licensing is fucking criminal. Agreements between people can be handled through contract law and the government should BUT THE FUCK OUT.
@cognostic
" I have never understood the attraction people have to getting married. "
All I can say is that it seemed like a good idea at the time and I really thought it would work for quite a few years. Although I must say, I came out of the marriage far better off financially than had I never married . Nor have I ever regretted having been married. However, I have never had the slightest interest in getting married again nor even of living with another woman.
"And the fact that the Government involves itself through licensing is fucking criminal. "
Don't know how it works where you are. Here in Oz, and under traditional British law, there are no licences of any kind needed to be married. Nor is there any requirement a marriage be even registered.
Traditionally, in the first millennium c e ,all that was needed for a legal marriage was for two people to agree to be married and then tell the community. There was no ceremony and no witnesses needed.
Over time, the nature of marriage changed, especially among the wealthy ,aristocracy and monarchies. Came a time that marriage was no longer simply about children. It became to be about property and inheritance. Up until the twentieth century (in Australia at least) only children born to a married couple were legitimate AND could inherit property. Any children born to a wife were automatically the children of the husband, legally. (that has changed with DNA testing)
Religious or civil ceremonies do not 'legalise' a marriage. That only occurs once the FACT OF THE MARRIAGE [ in oz] is REGISTERED with the Department of Births Deaths and Marriages.
Under Australian Law, registration of a marriage recognises that marriage is first a civil contract, with specific rights at law. THAT is what the kerfuffle was about with allowing gays to have REGISTERED marriages. Gay marriage existed in fact, but could not be registered as marriages and so did not have the same rights as married couples.
A concrete example: My sister had a gay marriage, for seven years, until her partners death in 1987. Fortunately, they had followed our mother's advice and had their wills drawn up making each other sole beneficiary, Plus their house was in joint names. That meant sis received her partner's superannuation and some separate properties. BUT Sis had no legal say in the funeral nor in any medical matters( her partner died of cancer) .THAT right belonged to and was exercised by the partner's estranged mother.
In Australia, it seems to me that government has always remained at arms length from marriage.
@cranky47: Holy Fuck!!! A country that has its shit together? Really? If I ever get married, I will get married in New Zealand.
I know a lot of Americans who would go to Mexico and get married. The marriage is not legal in America unless you register it. So they would get married in Mexico and if they ever wanted a divorce, you could pay an attorney a couple of hundred dollars and within a few weeks you were officially divorced. Interestingly enough the divorce paper did hold sway with the courts at the time. Take this with a grain of skepticism. I have not lived in America for 20 years now. I've no idea what the current situation is.
@Cognostic
"@cranky47: Holy Fuck!!! A country that has its shit together? Really? If I ever get married, I will get married in New Zealand"
New Zealand?
What's wrong with Australia? I can assure you there aren't a lot more like me. The majority of Aussies seem quite sane until you get to know them.
I'm pretty sure the legal tradition of marriage I explained is from the European tradition. Also seems to apply in most former British colonies . But I have no idea how it works in the US. Being forced to buy a licence would leave me with a strong 'fuck you " feeling. I would probably still have gotten married because the legal implications.
A general ramble @ the Thread on a sub-subject...
A quick and dirty summary from the Law Society of NSW, (I've looked this up before because I've been in a defacto for seven years; neither of us think we need divine assent to be happy together.) very, very generally, in the state of NSW defacto relationships, depending on specific circumstances and the length of time a couple have been living together, straight or gay, the law will recognise the relationship and couple's rights will often be the same as if they were married, with rights to a share in a partner's estate if they die, even intestate. One can also claim a share in their partner's workers compensation if they die at work. Conditions apply.
My late wife and I only married to satisfy her parents' desires. They weren't even spiritual let alone religious. It was just the tradition for them from an age long past. We had a registered civil ceremony at our house that didn't mention any god. Neither of us ever wore a wedding ring, we just honoured the wedding vows of faithfulness we wrote for ourselves.
...and while I think of it, my father-in-law without notifying his missus, offered us $5000 to elope simply so he didn't have to make a speech at the ceremony...we baked a beautiful big fish before the wedding guests arrived and during the ceremony our cat ate half of it...my wife and I entered the kitchen before the guests and without missing a beat my clever new bride immediately flipped the fish over and threw the cat out the window...I knew then I had married the right woman...everyone commented how delicious the fish tasted...I didn't have any.
@Grinseed: It makes me so sad.... Why is my country so fucked up? Actually, it's not difficult to get a "No fault" divorce in America, as long as both parties are in complete agreement. (It does happen sometimes.) But with property, kids and money, divorces can take everything and leave both parties with nothing in the end.
@cognostic
"it's not difficult to get a "No fault" divorce in America, as long as both parties are in complete agreement. "
Really? Wo!. Not in Australia. We've had no fault divorce since1975. It is soften unilateral. The only condition is that the couple
had lived apart for a year. My wife left. She applied for a divorce exactly a year later. I did not want a divorce because I still loved her. (past tense) . The divorce cost me nothing. The property settlement was finalised before the divorce, but had to be first approved by the family court. (also cost me nothing)
The family court is very pro children. However, child custody is mostly awarded to the mother. The non custodial parent MUST pay a reasonable amount towards the child's maintenance. Typically, 40% of their income for one child. Not sure how it works if there are three children or more. A court will put a garnishee on husband''s wages if possible. The custodial parent will also have a claim on the superannuation of the other parent. It's not uncommon for a custodial parent to quit their job and go on unemployment benefit because child maintenance is then not payable and they claim to be better off.
Family court will also force the DNA proved [typically] male parent to pay child support at the same rates. Illegitimate minor children also have a right of inheritance of the estate of both parents. Not sure about alimony, butI don't think it's a big thing her except among the wealthy. .
We may have no fault divorce, but it ain't casual, and our laws have teeth.
@guys
Everything is a learning experience... I came out of that relationship “richer” with my boys, and I’d do it again. Currently, I have no “need” for a relationship and am seriously happy on my own (I’ve felt this way for a long time now). Financially, I’m better off than a lot of people...so no real complaints.
...and my boys....they’re dipping their toes in the relationship pool. The two oldest have already had their disappointments...
RE: " Family court will also force the DNA proved [typically] male parent to pay child support at the same rates." I actually love that. I grew up in a fatherless home with an asshole of a mother an her assholiness was compounded by the fact that the asshole of a father simply moved to Kansas and started another family without giving her of her 3 kids a second thought.
I would be completely Okay with tracking down asshole fathers, forcing them to work, and then taking every cent they earn to pay for their kids. Here in Korea, the soldiers get Korean women pregnant and then just fuck off to the USA. The women end up returning home with a western looking kid and having to raise it in a Korean society.
Cognostic
I can only try to imagine what your upbringing must have been like. In contrast, my dysfunctional family was idyllic. Both my parents were good people and loved their kids to bits. We were never in want.
"The women end up returning home with a western looking kid and having to raise it in a Korean society."
I understand that was a big problem after the Korean war because of the children fathered by GI's 's.? What is the attitude today towards Eurasian children?
It is also my understanding Korean language and society is much more formal than Japanese. ? Is Korea as racist as Japan seems to be?
@cranky47: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ..... There are no laws against bigotry and prejudice in Korea. None that I am aware of and if there are, they are ignored.
“No Foreigners Allowed”: Discrimination Against Foreigners in South Korea
http://novasiagsis.com/no-foreigners-allowed-discrimination-against-fore...
I have been refused service in Hotels and been told "Koreans Only" even though I speak Korean well enough to engage in a hotel room transaction. I was nearly thrown out of a hotel in Busan when I first came to Korea because I could not speak the language.
I thought the man was telling me "Korean Rooms Only" which means they do not have a bed in the room. They have a thick fold away mat on the floor. So I kept telling the man, "Okay, No Problem." Then two big Korean guys flanked me and I was told to "Go out."
I have been spit on in trains stations late at night.
In most cases, foreigners need to avoid drinking areas frequented by older Korean men. It is common to be called "Won-sung-ee" on the streets by Korean men as they follow the slur with monkey gestures. (Won-sung-ee means monkey)
At a crosswalk one day, among 4 elementary students and an elderly man, all waiting for the light to turn green so we could cross the street, the man reached over and began pulling the hair on my arms. Korean have no personal space boundaries between friends and this would not have been weird if I knew him. I did not. He then squatted and began making monkey gestures while scratching under his arm pits and saying "Won-sung-ee." The children, to their credit, were quiet. BUT - it could have been the look on my face. It took a lot of control not to punch the man in the face.
Fighting in Korea is illegal. You can slap with an open hand or kick but if you hit with a closed fist it is a crime and you will go to jail.
Anyway, I have loads of stories about prejudice in Korea. It is alive and well!!! Lucky it is not every day and most Koreans have a modicum of control even when the are blatantly prejudice.
Talking on a bus for example. Koreans will yell on buses or trains. They scream into their cell phones and will talk or argue with one another openly. Drunk men will get on the bus and have a conversation that you can hear from the front to the back of the bus. But if you speak 3 words of English, you will be given dirty looks or shushed.
Oh,,, a fun one..... If I get a ticket for a seat on a train, I generally get to sit by myself. Many Koreans will not sit next to a foreigner. On buses, people have stood for 2 hours rather than take a seat next to me. It was more frequent 20 years ago but it still happens today. (The excuse I get when I share this with Koreans, "You have to understand, Koreans are shy." Korea is a very jingoistic country with a very homogeneous population. Speaking Korea really helps in opening some doors but the prejudice is out there just waiting to happen.
Never have a legal problem in Korea, The Korean is always right!
Sounds a lot like Japan and the Middle Kingdom .
I know ten words of Japanese and can say "hello" , "fuck your mother'' and "Happy New New Year" in Cantonese . (I was based in Singapore for 6 months in 1970 )
After I returned from my only trip to Japan, it was a couple of weeks before I realised I had actually been insulted by Japanese on at least 2 occasions. Took me a while to work out that the sometimes excruciatingly polite Japanese facade can hide insults.
Well, you've told me some good reasons never to visit Korea. What are some good ones? Why do you live there?
Oh, I've been watching a couple of Korean series on Netflix; 'Good Doctor' and "Designated Survivor: 60 Days" I''ve found them both fascinating because of what they reveal about Korean culture. Was a time I would have loved to go to Korea and study aspects of Korean culture, such the role and treatment of women in Korean society. The poor treatment of outsiders tends to be common in relatively homogeneous societies. Xenophobia to some degree seems to be pretty much universal.
---We had the White Australia Policy until 1975. We liked people like us (Anglo -Celts) or possibly Northern Europeans , as long as they spoke flawless English . Italians, Greeks and Maltese were tolerated from the 1950's because of a severe labour shortage. No black a or Asian people need apply. If they did they were simply given a dictation test in a language with they were not familiar, such as say Hindi. If they passed they were simply given another test.
In defense of marriage - been happily married for 30 years and most of my family and friends have long, and as far as I can tell, happy marriages as well.
Now, I agree, this should not be in any way be subject to government regulation, but just wanted to point out that two people can be happily dedicated to each other over a long period of time.
@NS
Yes...we have been lucky enough to be happy with each other for a long time...I am still in love with my wife.
New Skeptic: I have heard rumors to that effect. I think it is amazing that two people can live and grow together, enduring all the changes, and still hang in there. Congratulations!!! Yours is the marriage that everyone hopes for and so few actually get.
NS and doG ... I am happy for you both :)
@thread
Yesterday I cleaned out the pantry. I discovered I have 5 kg of lentils, a two of split peas, three kg of kidney beans and one kg of polenta. Oh, and 3kg of coffee beans, unopened. What happens is I can't find something so I buy another. I have five hammers.
Had to look up polenta. (boiled corn meal, AKA Corn Meal Mush in the USA)
Turns out you were ready for the viral Apocalypse all the time and didn't even know it. Hold onto those hammers. They will come in handy when the infected come banging on your door and try to steal your toilet paper. Remember, you need a solid smack to the head to take them out. Don't use the pointy end of the hammer. It can get stuck in the skull and you may not be able to get it out in time to protect yourself from the next viral infected toilet paper stealing zombie. Good Luck Mr. Cranky, We are all rooting for your survival.
@thread
I hope you enjoyed it much.
Is cinnamon whiskey your favorite?
