Thanks so much again for finding such useful information. The stories

from the patients and the patients families are very powerful arguments

for the good that medical marijuana can do. I don't know how the reader

could possibly get through some of those stories..one or two really touched

my heart..they are tear jerkers, that's for sure. If I were on that committee,

I would not be able to say no. I would gladly be the person to distribute it to

those who have that type of illness, and I wouldn't forget my cutie friends

on here who are awake in the middle of the night like I am. =)) I can almost

picture myself growing it already. I would farm that with you Rahim...I bet

there would be multiple farmers of marijuana growers right here on our

forum to join us. I can see us already with our little pointy hats, a couple of

ho's in our hands and we would be prepping our fields to start our multi-billion

dollar business..What a job that would be..Eventually we could afford a tractor

to plow even bigger fields or many small ones..We could have Spike and Bella

stand as our guards..Elisse could work to dry and package. Everyone to work! =)

Maybe my family is in the wrong business..

in reply to

You welcome Yikes and hahaha :) for being good farmers of marijuana and thanks for the offer I would add grape plantation for fine homemade red-wine production. I promise I won,t let you down I am good at both.

we can build our house in the middle of our farm.

After our daily hard work in our farm and factory, We can go home, refresh ourselves and seat in our comfortable rocking chair in front of our house while enjoying fine weed ( for some relief ) and red wine and inspired by the beauty of the sunset in far horizon, how about that , I am using my imagination ;)

in reply to

Hey, thanks for offering me to dry and pack....an old age pensioner put to work....lol Cant i just be the trier outta, someone needs to try the goods out, make sure its of good stock.... :D

in reply to

Put that one on your resume? haha

in reply to

Do we have to apply to work then....have an interview...??

That's a perfect end to a hard day..I love using the imagination..We have to

build a giant farm for the many workers..Wouldn't that be the life though..

We would all drink wine and then chase away rls with weed -=) Screw

sending our kids through college...they can work the fields in our recession

proof business.. I always wanted a huge wrap around deck and live in an old

house like the one in that movie "Secondhand Lions%* If anyone wants to

enjoy such a good movie..rent it...I have not met a single person who disliked

the movie) . Imagine weed growing rather than the giant corn maze that they

plant for their lion. =)

I have the most beautiful vision of the vineyards and the marijuana fields..

in reply to

Hahaha, looks like I sent some of you guys to swim over your dreams, here I officially announce that all rls-ers are the stock holders of our giant company each with equal share meaning that you are the boss of different devisions but not a pensioner. we have persian slung says " vasful eish, nesfol eish"

(eish means having good time, having fun with lover) that means talking eish is equal to half of eish and half is more than nothing :D

in reply to

I just saw a trailer of the movie, that house is what I was talking about, nice movie I will try to see the whole story :)

in reply to

are you joking me? there is a movie? A family farms pot???

hahahahah..that's crazy..maybe I did see it or a part of it

that popped into my head. That's just crazy good.

You are a big goofball tonight on eish..! laughs.

What a life that would be..I kind of like it..it would be the

end of me kissing corporate..asX...Like I am tonight.

I'm swamped with work. I have had almost no breaks between

sets of work. I am burning that pile sitting before me..and jump

on your wagon of growing tall plants.. count me in for sure. =DD.

in reply to

Hahaha, how did you know they are tall ( almost 7 feet tall ) there are 7 of them competing with each other to catch sun, one of them was broken by wind from main stem so I taped her to a rigid base and now she is the maturest one and highly potent than the others( almost medical marijuana is being produced ), you are all invited to a board and my smoking room to forget rls for a while and have some eish..............lol :D

Movie is about a child having to live with 2 old fellows ( Micheal keen and...) in a larg corn farm with a house and with no TV in it :D ( Secondhand lion )

in reply to

Oh yeah..I was talking about that movie a day or two ago on the forum. So funny. they didn't grow marijuana in the movie. Or did they? I love the idea

of shooting at catfish - and shooting salesmen. haha.

in reply to

Oh jeez that plant is MINE. Hands off everyone! I get

the most potent kind..I'm going to need it to wind myself down..I am all dressed with no place to go tonight. I don't know what's gotten into me..probably

that vitamin B12..it's giving me a huge jump start. I am wide awake at midnight here. This is not a good feeling. It's as if I was drinking coffee all day long today. I feel like I want some excitement in my life again. It's been sort of a rut..getting caught in the same thing day and night.. The RLS is not bothering me at all..I am wanting to fly an Airplane into the barn like they did on Secondhand Lions. Gosh what I would give to spend my life- even 2 weeks of it living like

those guys lived in that movie..

Hi Yikes, Secondhand Lions is on YouTube, the whole film. I have started to watch it when I am using the exercise bike. Great film so far. Thank you for suggesting it. :) I am looking forward to 10 minutes of so on the exercise bike today as I so want to watch some more of this film! ;)

Kaarina :-D

in reply toKaarina

10 mins on the bike at a time is excellent..good for you

for making a strong effort..it will pay off later. I do hope that

you enjoy the movie as much as several of us have.

I have my treadmill walk in already. We have a taste of

winter outside today so going out just wasn't an option.

The winds are strong and ice cold. You are very welcome

for suggesting that movie..It went down as a favorite in

many peoples experience of watching great movies.

in reply toKaarina

I need to find that film and watch it, but i will be watching it slouched on the sofa...:)

in reply to

Elisse, I wish that I was watching that movie for

the very first time..I truly loved it Also when you

feel this poorly - it's a great time to watch "'the

thornbirds' in full set.. That one stayed with me for

a long time. Richard Chamberlin is in that one. =)

It's romantic, wonderful and has some heartbreak as

well as some devilish moments..you will find a character

that you love and identify with and there will be another

that you hate passionately..As long as you feel so

crummy, you may as well treat yourself to these movies.

Above all though, watch Secondhand Lions.. I make

very few movie recommendations..this one is the exception.

in reply to

I have seen the thornbirds a long time ago, that was a lovely one to watch... :)

Can we have a big wooden swing seat on the verandah. With fairy lights? X

in reply tothedragon

two swings please, dont want any fighting over them :)

in reply to

I'm not swinging..I am going to take the slide down from

the tree full of a bunch of monkeys. =)) I'm sick of hanging

out alone tonight. I've been working at a good pace since

before the sun came up today..it's now almost 630 and

I have a little more to do yet..I'm famished and I am ready

to blow this popsicle stand..I want to have a little fun in this

life too..forget the kind that relaxes the body..I want the other

so I can start up the barn dance!!! Anyone going to join me?

Popcorn? Peanuts? Foot Long Hot Dogs?? Flying

trapeez? Our barn is equipped with these fun little things

to do...There will be no RLS allowed at the party..if you bring

it then you have to go into the smoke room..or the brownie room..

before you are allowed to enter..and do so at your own risk..

No cameras allowed. =DDD.

in reply tothedragon

I'll go for that but we need to be careful not to fall ;)

spike28 in reply to

you get worse Elisse :P

in reply to

haha, silly goose Elisse. Have you been sleeping good?

I hope so. I slept good for a solid 5 hours again. Felt so

good to not even dream..just to lay my head down and sleep.

I woke up so hungry as if I smoked all night. =DD. Here I am

again looking through my work. I hope that RLS stays away.

I can't afford to have it today. I have some deep cleaning to do

at my house so I am mailing my RLS to someone I don't know.

I am feeling legless with lack of any activity..Knocks on wood.

in reply to

I decided to age disgracefully. :) Ah, now you have asked something, i woke up twice with breakthrough RLS, but today, i feel like a steam roller has hit me, that is down to the side effects of the pramipexole...grrrrr. Some days i am ok, some days not. I take the good with the bad... You can come to my house later when you have cleaned yours, my energy level is zero for cleaning.

I'm glad I read through your posts as I was feeling sorry for myself, 2 1/2 weeks of hell and on going. Made me think of others so worse off then me!!!!

thank you

in reply tomaesllan5

We have to brighten up the forum sometimes because talking about

pain and depression, antsy legs gets us all down. Once in awhile we

have those stories that we make up to get us through another day.

Those reads that Rahim gave to you are very powerful reasons that

we need some better pain control and sleep, maybe even a little more

sympathy..I wish my family took to reading those. There are people

on this forum that will not take any drugs and some shout to the world

that the drugs are working- they are a miracle to them but most of us

who hang out on this site are having some real challenges from RLS..

We are pretty unsatisfactory kind of people when we don't sleep well

or we are struggling to watch a movie, sit for longer than a few minutes.

But if one treatment is coming down the pipeline, this is going to be

the place that you want to go to in order to find out about it. We have

our eyes and ears wide open. People search out for more information

day and night...so you will not miss the big day that something big

happens..We all will relate very well to you ..welcome to our cute little

farm with a giant ark sitting in the pond..and please excuse our little

fun that we had on here.

Are you taking any medicines right now for RLS? Did you get into the

doctor yet or where are you at in the treatment process? So many

questions..we are setting you up to help you find some relief.. there

are some good medicines out there..Mostly dopamine drugs and

pain medicine control..diet , gentle exercises, some other good stuff.

Welcome again and we are all here to help you =)))

Not what you're looking for?
