It doesn't have to be; our dsuburbs were notoriously underserved by transit
until we started making noise to the right people, & now we have a pretty great
systemn all throughout the region. . . including rapid transit "skytrains" into
the city core, with stations every couple miles.

Exactly why it's not just relationships in general. . . :D

Actually smokng it is bad for the lungs -- better to use a Vaporiser to just
get the benefirts of the medicinal cannabinoids -- the trick is to get a strain
with low THC(the "get high" component) & high in the CBDs you need.

Yup. . .

I usually nap in the LaZ Boy while watching tv in the evening, to ensure a
decent sleep that night.

I think that's kissing more than sniffing. . . & eww either way.

Yup, he seems to have a licker license, for sure! Like most small breeds, he's
very lick-y!

Tomorrow is mystery; yesterday is history; today is a gift, that's why it's
called the PRESENT!

It's all good; I used to do the same - hit my QWK (& SOUP) packets on a late
night wake-up, to tire myself again to get more sleep for the rest of the
night.

Now Iu'm not set up for QWK & SOUP yet.  Got a newsgroup reader to read/reply
directly, but I liked my old DOS reader best -- did both SOUP & QWK (not the
Blue one, though, so I didn't bother with those)

I need to set up my old DOS 6.22 IBM 486 (with 21" colour CRT)

I had good times on it. . . Still got 10s of thousands of jokes & puns stored
on there, easily searchable. Buty can only move them off using a 3.5" FDD, so I
need to buy a USB FDD so I can copy & transfer to my main computer (standard &
basic Win10 )
