I kind of want to try it once in my life, but not if it's illegal and I could lose my job for it.

Not to mention any immigration status, and the ability to enter the United States at all. (They can ban you for three years if USCIS or the Department of State determines you've ever used any illegal substances, and they can generally test you if they suspect you have.)

I read this somewhere, it made sense to me. :lol:

In order for a human to consume enough marijuana to be fatal, they would have to consume nearly 40,000 times the amount of THC required to intoxicate them. In contrast, it only requires about 5 to 10 times the amount of alcohol required to intoxicate, to be fatal. For example, if it requires 3 beers to intoxicate you, it only requires 15 to 30 beers to kill you. However, if it takes you 3 'hits' of marijuana to intoxicate you, it would require 120,000 hits to kill you. Thus, it is virtually impossible to die of a marijuana overdose.

Ew. Contortionists really creep me out.

Hmm. What was I going to tell you guys? :unsure: Oh yes! We went to the movies last night to see The Blind Side. Ohmygosh, it was fantastic! Really really really enjoyed it. I laughed, I cried.... it became a part of me. :cry:

Today I picked up my car from the dealership. Second time there to have the daytime running lights activated.... as well as the alarm system now that we are moving to DC. <_< I am not very impressed with their "Service" Department.

I had a similar experience when I was interviewed for the position I am in now ... two of the people were at the same level I am at, one of them was a higher level but not a manager. Silly government ... :P

Annnnd good morning everyone! :)

I'm a day late ! But I got a phone call Friday afternoon for a different job! They want me to come in on Tuesday for an interview! :dance: I think I might enjoy this position more if I am offered...less commuting...but less pay...nontraditional work hours but at least I'd work similar hours to the hubby...good chance that the other position I first interviewed for would put me in therapy...

I just spent 3 hours at a hair salon.

Gained highlights, lost half my hair.

It's weird having shorter hair again... feels kinda nice though.
