    When I was busy getting married, my mother and her fellow addicts robbed her mother's (my grandmother's) house and sold the goods for crack. That was the price my grandmother paid for seeing her grandson get married. She had bought my mother a plane ticket to come to the wedding and everything, but my mother had other plans. I got inmate mail for a while from her. One day I'll open it.

    Family is fucked up.


    I just read this...I am so sorry to hear this...is your Grandmother ok?...I feel so sorry for her this sort of thing shouldn't happen...is She ok?

    Are you ok?...this is really messed up...I just hope that your Grandmother is ok?


    My grandmother is fine. She just recently split with her girlfriend of 40 years, so that's been a bit tough. Trump's America brought out too much that my grandmother saw fit to overlook (for love) and her ex saw fit to subdue (for love) for all those years.

    My mother just moved in with her. We'll see how that goes.

    Like I said, family is fucked up.

    Names from the past.... I had forgotten about some of these till seeing their names. I’ll never forget el kabong, abook, catefrances, byrnzie and of course hippiemom. Man I miss her on these boards. 
    hippiemom = goodness
  • Nice to read about some of the people on the board. Not like the good old days but hey, everything changes.

    I am me. We enjoy allowing visitors to our country who are here to see PJ to have free housing while they are here. Nobody has taken us up on that in a while, (boy did we have fun back in the day), but the offer is always out there. Disagreements and comments aside I enjoy meeting new people as we are all more civil in real life.

    And yes Mr. Cincibearcat you do still owe me that beer! :) If you are reading this??

    I certainly do!  Good times!

     Going to Wrigley? 


    No I'm not doing Wrigley. But if you are, enjoy.  Just waiting for the boys to say they are dragging their butts north of the border in September. Fingers crossed. Got a nice independent brewery within walking distance from our place now. Tempting isn't it????? :)

    Those were good times. My2hands was also another AMT regularly. I cried when hippiemom passed away. She left this earth way too soon. Me and her and few others would chat in the gabbly chat and her and I were always the last 2 in the chat. Our convos were just so cool. It's amazing how you can get to know someone and never met them. I hope in the after life I come across her.

    That last sentence was sweet.
    Sad to hear of her passing. I've never seen her on here, must have been before my time here.

    Reviving this thread because its a good one.  

    Got into PJ in ‘92 when i saw the Jeremy video.  Hooked ever since. Still my favorite PJ song too. Started hanging on Synergy in ‘97 even tho i cant even remember my screename from there anymore. 

    Pretty laid back guy.  I really enjoy talking and trading with folks here.  Honestly i dig old merch more than new PJ music.  That change is really weird to me.  I also can’t stand either political party so its a wonder why i even read this particular part of the forum :lol:
    It might be a common thing but after i hit 30 i started really disliking “time”.  I don't like seeing people and seeing the effects of time on them.  Or even it’s effects on a place.  More so because i moved cross country and the distance being from my parents hurts.  I notice every single change when im back.  As juvenile as it sounds i want to freeze time.

    i love my wife and kid so much that I can’t even describe it.  I enjoy music, basketball, sushi, cheesy 80s shows (get a tv antenna. They have channels that show nothing but 80s shows!), and a good iced coffee.  A good day always includes a good iced coffee and being with my family.  Or really just hearing them laugh.  That can make a hard day a good day.

    I feel like Semi-Survivor Man this week.  Thursday, 9/27, I had a vertigo/migraine attack that sent me into major dizziness, vomiting until frequent dry heaving, hyperventilating until my hands went numb, super light sensitivity and increased sound sensitivity.  I managed to get  hold of friends who called an ambulance and got me to the ER.  Not really a life threatening event but if I hadn't managed to get to the phone (and I'm not even sure how I did that- crawled maybe?), I'm not sure where this would have ended up.  Two or three years free of this crap and now life feels day to day again.  Mornings are miserable with cloudy, woozy head and mild nausea.  I'm pretty sure I have vestibular migraine as well as BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo).  These attacks feel like a form of torture.  No fun.  :frowning:
