TOTALLY RANDOM POST II

An old man meets a young man who asks:
“Do you remember me?”
And the old man says no. Then the young man tells him he was his student, And the teacher asks:
“What do you do, what do you do in life?”
The young man answers:
“Well, I became a teacher.”
“ah, how good, like me?” Asks the old man.
“Well, yes. In fact, I became a teacher because you inspired me to be like you.”
The old man, curious, asks the young man at what time he decided to become a teacher. And the young man tells him the following story:
“One day, a friend of mine, also a student, came in with a nice new watch, and I decided I wanted it.
I stole it, I took it out of his pocket.
Shortly after, my friend noticed the his watch was missing and immediately complained to our teacher, who was you.
Then you addressed the class saying, ‘This student's watch was stolen during classes today. Whoever stole it, please return it.’
I didn't give it back because I didn't want to.
You closed the door and told us all to stand up and form a circle.
You were going to search our pockets one by one until the watch was found.
However, you told us to close our eyes, because you would only look for his watch if we all had our eyes closed.
We did as instructed.
You went from pocket to pocket, and when you went through my pocket, you found the watch and took it. You kept searching everyone's pockets, and when you were done you said ‘open your eyes. We have the watch.’
You didn't tell on me and you never mentioned the episode. You never said who stole the watch either. That day you saved my dignity forever. It was the most shameful day of my life.
But this is also the day I decided not to become a thief, a bad person, etc. You never said anything, nor did you even scold me or take me aside to give me a moral lesson.
I received your message clearly.
Thanks to you, I understood what a real educator needs to do.
Do you remember this episode, professor?
The old professor answered, ‘Yes, I remember the situation with the stolen watch, which I was looking for in everyone’s pocket. I didn't remember you, because I also closed my eyes while looking.’

If to correct you must humiliate; you don't know how to teach.”

That was very nice, Gry. Beautiful, even.

And I stand convicted. not necessarily reformed.

Expectations get rigid sometimes, irritation at principles, and enforcement of some principles, out of balance, lead to violations of others.

Thanks.

I know softening expectations is important, as is living up to them.
Doing, versus knowing, is the gap.

I have planted a seed, so now feel like looking at it every hour of the day. Watching paint dry serves more purpose.

Ohhhhhh nobody know how high I am, nobody knows how high I am. Just wrote that one. Use it if you want.
I woke up and had to go to the corner store in the pouring rain. Had a raincoat. Pockets filled up with water. Sneakers and pants got drenched.
It's like noon but I already took some bonghits, smoked on the vape pen, ate some 25mg edibles. Hoping for sports of some kind on TV. I haven't been this high since Amsterdam in 2000 man! Pretty sure. Pretty high! Woohoo! Feeling good! :trampoline:

Had to pee really bad and couldn't get the zipper undone?
Drop the question mark and that's the opening line. ;)

It's hard to find, imiubu.

Apparently Polaris is making a full-suspension, tracked, heated and AC equipped, amphibious, side-by-side, all-terrain vehicle, for the Canadian military. The Polaris Rampage.

Switcher, how come you guys get all the really cool, functional, fun stuff??

I imagine out in the bush, hunting moose, you can just chase them down. No rifle necessary?

Yesterdays crap was so big there was crying coming from the toilet. Not from a baby, from me. I'm still hurting now. It was both jammed in the U-bend and resting on the rim at the same time (almost) I have no idea how it happened. Oh wait... yeah... still hurting.

Sorry. No pictures.



Hit 28c.. the seeds. Had to reduce the power a little. 3 out of 3 up in 60 hours. burried in Canna coco, 4 seeds deep. pH high 5s and EC about 0.3 diluted from my grow feed tank using dehu~ water. Maxicrop seaweed as per bottle, but only to get the pH up from 5.1 as I over did the P-acid as the 0.3ec offers so little buffering. Leaving the ec at 0.4

My dispensary is out of GG#4 - has anyone tried "Rainbow Belts" before? Heard of it? Supposed to be a 50/50 hybrid with good taste and long-lasting high. It's only like 16% thc though
