the plant is very similar to hops which is the bitter part of beer and if you ever smelled hops on a brewery tour you would notice that it smells pretty similar to a bag of weed

now most things dont smell good when burned (candles and campfires excluded), but yes the stink of marijuana smoke is fairly pungent.

Never been to a brewery but I'm sure i will later on at some point.. lol.

Eww ok.. if I were EVER to bring anyone fresh eggs... I would clean them first... it's just the considerate and polite thing to do imo. I guess thats just me but I wouldn't want to give someone anything that had ****, dirt, ect on it.. I would want to impress them by having it LOOK good. (And yes I so love farming... plan on getting my own little farm later!)

shy_guy

I agree with the cleaning. We used to sell eggs, but selling aside ... there was a sink in our "utility room" where everything coming from the outside had to be washed before it got into the house. You NEVER brought crappy eggs into the house at our house. Nothing ever hit the cartons until they were cleaned and dried.

lol I know alot of people who don't "Clean" the eggs or veggies or anything either... I guess it's just because I'm ocd that I feel it's a MUST lol.

I often feel like an outsider in this social section...like I am just looking in. But it's OK. I still enjoy the looking in.

I have always enjoyed sitting one on one with another or involved in small groups - a sharing & listening to their stories.... Whatever they may need to get out. I know in real life, some feel they can't go there, have been hurt too much in the past, for whatever reason...but yet... they need someone to talk too, an outlet .... so they find comfort in an anonymous forum...they learn they are not alone...& are in fact very relatable -just in things not spoken readily by those in their real lives. I enjoy this OPENNESS in others -in any subject really.


We had a Bonfire Party last night , up till 2 am , singing songs on our porch with my sons roommates ... some heavy conversations going on throughout the night.....but yet they were as light as air..... comforting infact.... no subject off topic, a place for all... .....We laughed, we related, we connected , we inspired each other......5 of us huddled in our kitchen....shooting the breeze about LIFE , our stories, our imperfections, our motivations, the importance of helping others....

No matter where we walk in life, even if it is on a keyboard at TAM...... I think this gives us the greatest heart Joy...at the end of the day.

Because of 2 very special people who came last night, I got to see a side to Christianity that I feel I could be a genuine part of -not being that someone on the outside looking in ....

Shy_guy ought to appreciate that -coming from me!

They laughed when I told them I've been thrown off of Christian forums, told me I would fit right in! The one lady listed the 4 things she hates in church, OMG did I ever agree! Their ministy is one of enthusiastic compassion...for those left on the outside....their aim....to reach the kids thrown out of the Youth groups because they weren't "good enough" ...they didn't fit the boxes Christians impose on everyone.

It was a night to remember, things spoken I will forever carry with me.

People will come & go in our lives...only there for a season...but if they inspired us ........ if we can leave something behind of some value to help others on their journey......this is what I want to DO....even if just through a keyboard.

Getting a pat on the pack, although it is very encouraging....I've felt my ego bursting a # of times here....some have been very kind to me.... it should never never be what it is about. I need to check myself from time to time.

I am a very social creature...but just a SAHM who doesn't get off the farm too much....I used to allow Soaps, kids, kept a spotless house, browsing Ebay through the day & listened to talk radio every am (that was my challenging of the mind when my husband was at work).... but I find forums much more FUN , even fullfilling somehow - for a little social interaction.

Even if just a fraction of my posts are of the inspiring kind, this would be worth it, I know I have a tendency to debate & speak too much about myself -that likely affects my message at times. This is something I need to work on. But I still so enjoy TAM, when I get it right.

I always enjoy reading your posts... wouldn't change a thing.

As for feeling like an outsider looking in, I know you said you're okay with that but I think in a way, we all could be "looking in" to an extent. I'm sure I'm not alone in reading posts that I don't necessarily comment on but I have read nonetheless. Whether that be in Social Spot or elsewhere. A forum such as this is kept lively due to the different participants, the different perspectives and the interaction. It would be a boring place if it was just a few 'voices'. The variety is valuable. I'd hope that people who wish to post, just jump in and do it.

While this is a good outlet for various reasons for various people, never underestimate the true value of those face to face connections. Those people you can share a laugh with, a hug with.

Hey SG, I knew what cut-up meant. I hear it a lot.

SimplyAmorous

No this just means I have a knack for putting my foot in my mouth or pushing the bar a little too high - to get a reaction. Always entertainment when you get a face like this>>>> I guess this speaks my brand of humor!

I'm just not a one liner type of chick, more of the meat & potatoes variety... I can't change my stripes. I have to accept my limitations in life.

Was out to eat with our family earlier.....oldest son gave a funny comment to son #2, I "got it" immediately (amazing)... 2nd son... had a Daaahhhh look on his face, literally a minute later he "got it" & went on to explain what he thought he meant ...that was pretty funny! ....I had flashbacks of my childhood... story of my life... I started ...he started .....people around us probably thought we were all WHACKED... but....there it was... in the genes.. he doesn't get jokes either.

I guess we are a strange bunch, but at the heart of it all, we are still laughing at oursevles.

I come here because I am socially inept and it's hard for me to make friends. I have maybe a handful of friends, 2 of which that are female and I see on a regular (and I mean my regular basis, which is maybe a few times a year) basis, the rest are male and we occasionally will say hi on Facebook or will head out to ones cabin for the annual cabin party (been going to that since I was 16) or a family BBQ (I won't go to these without my S/O and I really haven't been to these events in a few years). Yeah my social life isn't great lol. It's hard for me to be around others, even if I've known them for years. I am extremely shy, almost painfully shy, when it comes to being social. Obviously there are a few exceptions to that (my S/O and the two female friends I have)

Feisty53

Welllllllllll. I have been on message boards for at least 16 years.. good gawd.. really? I grew amazing friendships, met many in person. Each time, it was to address interests or issues going on in my life at that time. Having a group of people that are in a similar boat as you is supportive, especially when it is something as personal as this one is. I cannot discuss my marriage problem with friends or family, they tend to judge, you know, and all that does is lead to more problems. I tend use humor as a way of deflecting/coping with pain, and having a place where i can do that 24/7 is what kept me going when I thought I could not.
