There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

You know what? 20 yrs or so later, I'm not over cookiegate. I'm still furious anyone castigated her over that comment. Which was a response to sexist bulkshit.Fuck you and you and you. It's fucking sexism. And it's like I'm reliving the 90s again, just older. I bought 3 target dresses that are identical to gap dresses I wore in 1995. Friday, I wore a silk skirt I've had since1994. What the fucking fuck.

Blueberry muffins sound delicious. Mm.

So, I decided to try the no-longer new legalities of my state, and purchased an edible. I don't want to be Maureen Dowd, cowering because I accidentally ate 18 doses, and I know one of the common....complaints?...is that people don't realize how long it takes for edibles to actually affect you. Everything said 30 min to 2 hours. ....it's been two hours and I feel nothing. Except possibly my ears need to pop.

...more reports in a while, as to whether this was actually a big waste of money (cash money, because they can't take credit cards!)

What did you buy and how much did you eat? Indica? If you don't mind sharing that is...

A cookie, which is 10mg, but I ate half because people said 5mg was a good place to start. It's been nearly 2.5 hours, should I eat the other half? ...though if it then takes 2 hours for that to work, I'll likely be asleep already

I am also wondering if this is akin to my flexeril experience, wherein one dose does juuuuust enough for me, when I take it (rarely) to take away my pain, but I feel no impairment. I gave a dose to my old roommate once, because he was having a lot of back pain, and it knocked him on his ass.

I will do half when I'm too tense to sleep and it just relaxes me enough but I don't feel impaired. 10mg, on the other hand will knock me on my ass. I haven't found that happy in-between yet.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I got a private tour of Hearst Castle today. I expected a crazy big, ostentatious place but I was not prepared for how mind blowingly much it is. Wow.

I also saw elephant seals. They are ginormous! And they sound like burps, farts, and bad plumbing.

Oops, double post. Spotty connection looked like it wasn't posting.

A private tour? That's pretty cool! Did you have a connection or were you the only one to show up or what?

Ate the second half of the cookie about an hour ago. Am in the midst of a book so will be awake a bit longer but...so far "maybe kinda makes me feel like my ears need to pop" is not anything that convinces me this is worth paying money for.

(Possibly I'm failing by being boring and reading a book home alone, a not super funny book? Maybe I should be watching a stupid movie. ...eh)
