You had me until the fridge and closet clean out.Anything except turning on the TV!! Walk, garden, cook, exercise, read, talk to Flash (dog) and do a fridge and closet clean-out.
They're not gone, actually. You can still get TV signals from major broadcast companies with a variety of antennae you can make yourself. It helps if you live in or near a broadcaster or one of their big booster towers. An antennae I made years ago didn't work when I lived in the Sierra mountains, but it worked great when I lived in the hills near the west coast. It's still working great for one of my grandkids, though I did have to tweak it a bit.Remember when all you needed to watch TV was a set of rabbit ears? My father used to experiment with a piece of plywood covered with aluminum foil, out on the porch. I also remember using wires and coat hangers. Those days are gone.
I'd just moved into my old apartment, so this was 6, 7 years ago; my older brother came to help me move some furniture around and broke out a doob at break time. "C'mon, Frank, you know you want to. You need to, man, you're all stressed out over nuthin." So I took a couple little hits. After a few minutes I told him I wanted to hang up some pictures of the kids but I felt like part of the couch and I couldn't move. He laughed and said, "You can move. Just get you're arse up and hang them pictures."Smoke a doobie, see what happens next.
I'm using a homemade Gray-Hoverman antenna mounted in the attic of my attached garage, and it is connected to the cable that already came installed in the house to my TV room.Remember when all you needed to watch TV was a set of rabbit ears?

It's not the same pot as when we were kids. No way to enjoy it now.I'd just moved into my old apartment, so this was 6, 7 years ago; my older brother came to help me move some furniture around and broke out a doob at break time.

Just get you're arse up and hang them pictures."
When I sobered up many, many hours later, these pictures were all over the place, every one crooked, none of it making sense.
It was an order-obsessed neatnik's nightmare.
Yep, that's true. In fact, the stuff on my streets can be deadly.It's not the same pot as when we were kids. No way to enjoy it now.
Do not think it funny that a young child, or even young teen, was offered and used pot. This is very wrong. I warned my son I would always know if he were high, so he better not, until college age. I have very strong feelings against children using drugs. What your brother did was not right and I ain't laughing.I'd just moved into my old apartment, so this was 6, 7 years ago; my older brother came to help me move some furniture around and broke out a doob at break time.
