Three Random Things-::-

THIS is one of the funniest television "commercials"; (CLICK HERE!!) I've seen for a long, long time ...

By the way: have a look at Queenie's house. Isn't it lovely? I'm going to have a house like that one day. Only I'd go more for a dark red/dark green/gold/purple type of colour scheme that wouldn't show up my dirty presence so faithfully!!

STOP PRESS: Re my childhood (how I flatter myself that anyone really WANTS to know!!) It is about 90% typed in and completed. I've just three hundred words or so to go and then I'll inflict it on the world ..!

PS I am right, aren't I in advising the author of randomnewsfromphoenix.blogspot that rail travel is better than going by car, aren't I?

Do you know what I really like about going by train (apart from the inherent smoothness of the ride) is that you get to see the back of things, that haven't been cosmeticized for the car-driving pedestrian ...

If you want a rail-fanatic's blog go to http://eddiesrailroad.blogspot.com/. Lots of lovely photos of those great big trains the hobos ride..!!!..

OKAY THIS IS MORE THAN 3 NOW BUT: look I found the most entertaining website about Hamster Dancing!!

"They tried to make me go to Riyadh; but I said no, no, no ..."

  8. My "guy attaches speedo to hammy wheel" comment that I might post some of here:

    I attached a bright yellow blob to my old (Syrian) hamster's rat-wheel. (Normal hamster wheels were too small for him; he couldn't run at full-pelt on them. And he much preferred wire wheels to the plastic ones they insist are safer. I've never seen a hamster injured on a wire wheel (though I understand the commonsensickal objections to wire in favour of plastic)...

    ANYWAY we counted rpms and timed how long he ran (which was near-continuously throughout the night from dusk till dawn) and calculated he was doing AT LEAST 8 MILES A NIGHT every night!!!

    (That would make a marathon every three nights.)

    How's THAT for active. Most humans I know don't run that far in a week let alone a night.

    Im just super high strung so the higher the dose Im on the better off I am. "

    I dont consider it heroin.. It's been months since I've gotten at all high from methadone. And I never really did- that didnt last long at all for me..I got a little buzz warmth from methadone= and that was IT!@! and it wasnt ever a high like oxy and vicodin. (I have tried heroin by the way.. it wasnt as strong as the morphine oxy and vicodin I was doing. I guess that's not uncommon since the tar heroin in seattle is lousy too. Nobody gets the good stuff. Maybe in vancouver. But um that's why I think my tolerance might be higher, well a part of it besides metabolism.)

  12. the people with the worst habits are the ones using dilaudid, 80 times stronger than heroin.and fetanyl.. thousands of times stronger. And oxy is the same as heroin but synthetic. I got so sick of the heroin needle users thinking I had a baby habit because i used pills. No i was just a puritan in terms of refusing to ever get anything i couldnt label.. that wasnt pharmaceutically evaluated or whatever, not that isnt a flawed system too but.. then when i joined all the needle users i needed more methadone then them. Metabolism must play a role here too though.

  13. Ivy:-

    You could have saved your life that way::at least you knew precisely how many mgs you were taking at all times. Anyway that dose of methadone you're on isn't "baby" by any means. Even the people on £100 a day or more drugs I know are rarely given more than 80mg. (Truth is: they're not spending £100 on heroin, more like £30 or £40. MOST of the money goes on CRACK.) Also I know a lot of people lie bc I had a heroin-only habit for years that averaged £30-£40 per day and when in detox/rehab I needed MORE meds than the "£100 a day" people ... junkies are all liars!

    If you were on street gear you might not be here now. I've ODd once really bad and another 2 times bad enough to be slapped awake... so don't let anybody put you down bc you might have saved your life.

  14. thanks. Yea the guy who put me down was really two faced and pathetic.. at one point he had to take 7 clonipin (2's, so that means 14 mg!!) a day and he used to drool! But he was considered a cult figure on broadway and people would take pics of him.. (He looked.. VERY wierd. Trust me. ) but he had this girlfriend who was my age and really hot. (She was sheltered like me so decided she needed an In as far as the street crowd goes. She got free heroin from him for years.) The ironic part was that even though she had been a user for years and I had just been one for a year he told her not to hang out with me cuz i was a bad influence cuz I was still using. (Ahem. So were they... but she also did crack A LOT.) Anyway he was the one who said that. He changed his opinion eventually but by that time she and him and broken up or she had just gone crazy as I heard it. Unfortunate thing. I liked her. (he was so protective he got mad when she talked to anybody for too long.)

  15. he probably put me down because i didnt have ANY street contacts just some uptown classy dealers (it's easier to score dope and crack than pills, as you probably know.) So they'd call me when they had a lead.. But it was few and far between and they had me on a few goose chases. TO their credit they never stole my money. Directly. That I know of. They did take off a 5 dollars find off fee once when it was crap but on the other hand they found me this girl who used to RUN broadway and she was a fucking steal. Another time they found me this guy who stole 100 from me (he had a gun! it was a stick up! I dont know why i reported it except i was too upset.) I told them about it and they never did much about it. Amy was his girlfriend.. and they lived together.. so I had to see him again.. but I wasn't going to fight somebody who had killed people. If I had even the tiniest bit of street background and fighting background believe me I would i dont have much fear but.. i was raised in an environment where I never saw one fight occur. I've never even seen somebody punch somebody else out...
