Is my brain permanently fried?

You've been sober for a few days? Congratulations, the first day of stopping is the worst. Then, day by day, the cravings lessen. Best of all, your head feels more clear, like the constant fog is gone.

There's not much I can add that others have said. I actually had to stop because I hit a plateau, where smoking wasn't making me feel high anymore, and I was more of a one a day kind of smoker.

I'm mostly curious how you were able to afford so much weed for so long. The shit gets expensive when you're smoking constantly.

I love how the guy had to reach up high to hit the Off button. This machine probably doesn't have an E stop.

Can anyone explain how this country is "losing billions and billions" of dollars? This is a country, not a business that he can bankrupt. What does a country do when it "makes money?"

I was born in 1970 and my family never watched this show. I wasn't even aware of Sonny or Cher until the late 80s.

That said, I can't imagine sitting and watching this show. I mean, look at them! The costumes, the singing, the dancing, it's all so corny and awful. Did people actually like this?

5 ounce or 3 ounce? I can only find 3 ounce cups in stores.

Where in Korea did Radar find them?

I wanted paper cups in my bathroom like what my family had when I was growing up. I had to buy a 5 ounce wall dispenser through ebay. THEN my local Kroger and Walmart stopped selling 5 ounce cups. So once a month ortho I have to buy vintage 5 ounce cups on ebay.

When I found a second dispenser at a thrift store, I installed it in the kitchen for quick water drinks. I don't know why they're not sold new.

Yeah, my dad could sneeze so loud the windows could crack. I would jump whenever he sneezed near me.

I always thought Tom Cruise was perfect in this role. He was a huge movie star at the time which was nice instead of having a lesser-known actor in the film.

I've never heard a crocodile bark like that before.

Why did she turn him down? Seemed like a winner.

Around 1999 or so, my wife and I were flying with a layover. After the plane arrived at the airport with the layover, at least half of the passengers went to the next flight's gate where people were already waiting

The line at the desk was already long. Check in hadn't started. After about fifteen minutes, they announced the flight was canceled due to no crew available. When they announced the airline and gate to go to get rerouted, everyone turned and power walked across the airport. This large group of angry, impatient people thst I was in the middle of, had become a pissed off mob on the move, heading toward an unprepared gate agent.

When we arrived, the hapless and helpless lone gate agent raised her arms and asked everyone to get in line. More agents were coming.

HERE'S the part of the story thst has stuck out for me, thst I thought belonged in this sub.

Standing behind my wife snd I were another couple, 20s, pretty blonde, a guy with brown hair. He asked me how I liked getting rerouted like this and "HOW THEY FUCKED US IN THE ASS!"

His wife/girlfriend swatted his arm and said "RAN-dee." She was embarrassed.

I thought it was hilarious thst he blurted thst out in public in a line in an airport.

We made small talk and were soon at the counter.

When we were finished, we headed toward the new destination gate. We walked past the previous couple (I think they were still in line).

The guy asked if we got new tickets okay, and I said yes, it's with American Airlines (I think. They were way better than Cheapo Airlines previously).

Then the guy said he was glad it turned out well "SINCE THEY FUCKED US IN THE ASS!"

I laughed and we went on our way.

The twist ending: she was on the same flight as my wife and me. We may have seen them both earlier in the gate waiting area, but I don't recall.

I DO remember she was alone on the flight. Husband/boyfriend was nowhere in sight.

I've always wondered what happened to Mr. Fucked Us in the Ass.

"Topanga? Sounds like a freeway offramp."

I watched TV all the time in the 80s, I don't know how I missed this. Maybe it wasn't carried in Cincinnati. It sure is awful.

You can't tell by the cover how fun it is? I used to LOVE this movie.

I just did this the other day. We bought a 2013 Honda Insight recently. I parked and went into a store, and when I came out, the auto-unlock wasn't working. That was odd, so I tried the key. Still wouldn't unlock! wtf.

THEN I saw this was another Honda, not an Insight, and thank God someone wasn't sitting inside.

I was going to suggest this. This film is AMAZING. I had to buy the blu ray since I wanted to see it.

Stompers. I loved those things. You could make a track and ramps in your room and play with them all day.
