im not wure how that particular drug is working but i have read that they are finding that there are some components found it the real thing that they can not make synthetic forms of and that those components do have there own medisnal benifits. . .
and i can tell you i have tried mieronal (spelled wrong im sure ) anf that does not help me in any way where the real thing helps me with pain as well as anxiety & depression. .
also studys have shown and i know from my own personal experiace that marujuana is not addictive as some would make you beleive. .
hope that helps. .

im not having a great day. . headache has not much more to go before its a migraine. . . and my legs are cramping bad today as well. . on top of that im still really depressed after a comment was made to me on sunday by my dw's best friend. . i didnt think she was the type of lady who would say such things but what she said cut real deep. . still processing it so i can try to get past it but im not doin so good so far !!

yea i know what you mean about tryin to let it roll off your shoulders and i can do that in some cases but this was my dw's best friend so it blindsided me and cut very deep. . i would not have expected this person to say anything like that . .
im trying to let it go but for some reason its has a major grip on me. . its even affecting my sleep so its somethin i really have to work on. .
and i have not been lookin forward to today because my dw's vacation ends today. . she has been off for 10 days and we its been wonderfull spending every waking moment with her. .
oh well life will go on and i have some work to do gettin my backbone back where it should be but il get there at some point
thanks for your kind words tho it does help. .

our holiday weekend here in canada was the week before yours . but i done more this weekend than last as we went visiting on sunday. . it was nice to get out . . friends of my dw have 3 litters of puppy's so we went to see them.. the youngest being only 1 day old. . and the oldest 9 weeks. . they were all so cute & cuddly

it was great until someone said something that really upset me which i wont go into. . but needless to say it was time to come home. . im still not over what was said and will not likely visit again anytime soon. .
so between the depression taking over & the rain sent up from the plains of the usa yesterday made my day not so good. . but the weather is better today. . low 70's & sunny so il try and sent some of it down south for all those in the 90's . . lol. . i know where my son & his family live is gonna be around 100 today with the humidex . .
well i hope everyone has a good day today. . i know im tryin my best to. .
