Marijuana on the job

[Looking4new]

This old hippie likes his hash and CBD. Sometimes I will do a hit of my CBD vape and suck on my pipe full of hash too.
My hair is down over my shoulders, on windy days I will put it in a ponytail to keep it from blowing around and into my face.

It is like a state only better with less taxes and cheaper health care, including prescriptions.

There was no such thing as drugs grades 1-8 but one eighth grader was expelled for smoking after school…

Individuals would often receive a thrashing but more often it was because of Mr. Robinson’s or any number of other’s behavior earning the entire class extra pages of homework due tomorrow…

We had a tremendous amount of homework already so extra was piling on… all based on peer pressure.

Boy Girl home parties outlawed in conduct code and the principal would show up at a students home on a weekend if she got word of a boy-girl party happening… it was quite a scandal in the diocese and parents pushed back and won that fight.

My 5th grade nun had her 50th year teaching when I was in her class and she was 68 that year.

All 54 of her students chipped in 25 cents each and bought a huge sheet cake for $10 plus a card…

We did not have any homework that night!!!

Everyone had a job… one year my job was to clean the blackboard with a sponge end of each day… others wash windows, take out the trash, sweep outside, air up the balls… later I was audio visual and safety patrol Sargent of signs… at the traffic intersection…

It was quite different coming from public school…

I was so glad to get to high school where group punishment didn’t exist.

With High School came my first exposure to stoners… the stoners didn’t last long and if a girl became pregnant she was expelled…

8th grade was when pot and alcohol became obvious here. Kids in our class would go home for lunch and come back drunk or stoned. My mom was the school art teacher (she taught all grades for free so we'd get tuition breaks). She pulled 4 kids in my class one day after lunch because they were falling down drunk. Took them to the principal. Pastor overruled any meaningful punishments because the kids' parents were big donors, and I got my ass kicked because "your mom is a narc."

Thanks mom.

Stoners in high school were many. I cannot remember anyone getting expelled for drugs or alcohol. I do know one girl that got pregnant with a guy one year older than her. They got married and she was allowed to finish the year because she wasn't due until summer. She didn't return senior year. They got divorced years later.

I had a Dutchman friend that told me about what life was like in a Catholic school. Made me thankful I was a Protestant ....

And you're allowed to use those little rubber devices, too.

(my apologies to Monty Python fans everywhere)

 

[Looking4new]

Moss, which 'little rubber device' are you referring to?

 

[Jstpssng]

Moss, which 'little rubber device' are you referring to?

You don't want to know.
"Monty Python" should be your clue.

Condominium? Prophylactium??

Yeah, those are the Roman names.

I wouldn't know. I don't watch monty python.

 

[Jstpssng]

I wouldn't know. I don't watch monty python.

I don't either as a rule. The clip he referenced above has been posted here before.

 

[lilranch2001]

I think those rubber devices are applied to pythons a lot……

 

[Looking4new]

Moss, are those rubber devices the same ones that prevent STDs and babies?

This is the clip.

 

[MossRoad]

Moss, are those rubber devices the same ones that prevent STDs and babies?

Yes.

It's from Monty Python's Meaning of Life and has to do with a conversation about Catholics and Protestants. A Protestant couple is having a conversation with their one child as to why the Catholic family across the street has several dozen children.

This is the clip.

"I've got no option but to sell you all for scientific experiment."

About 10 months after our first was born, we got an offer from the child development program at Notre Dame to bring our child in for observation and developmental testing. They'd give us $20. So we joked about selling her for scientific experiment.

We got to sit behind a two way mirror and watch them interact with her. She couldn't talk yet, but could sit up. So they sat her in a chair across a little table from the person conducting the testing. There were a bunch of little red blocks on the table. The tester never said a word. She took one block and set it in front of herself on the table. Our kid looked at her, then grabbed a block and set it in front of her as well and looked at the tester. So the tester took another block and stacked it on her own block and looked at our kid. Our kid looked at her and stacked another block on her own block and looked at the tester. The tester repeated this 3 more times. So did our kid. Finally the tower of blocks fell over and they both started laughing.

That was the test. They said she did better than most for her age, so we enrolled her in medical college immediately.

Just kidding. There were a few more tests, and we took her back every few months for a couple years. When we had our 2nd child, they offered us a program for sibling development, so we did that as well. Each time it was $20 and we'd go out for pizza.

It was just interesting to see your kids pass these developmental milestones in everyone's life. Kinda reassuring to new parents.

It was to you. No doubt they got something out of it, also. Development starts at an earlier age than some want to think. A kid with parents who interact with them has more opportunity to learn than one with a parent who puts "Cars" on a continuous loop, then sits at another TV watching Reba all day.

Especially helps when a child is outgoing… took my niece at 14 months to Europe and she was a star in large part because she was so outgoing and quick to say hi and put out her hand to shake hands…. just such a positive attitude up for just about anything…

Later she told me it was because I would explain things to her instead of dictating.

For the Europe trip I did a build up about flying in the sky over the ocean to a far away place with real prince and princesses and castles… she was very articulate… more so than any of the others at such a young age…

At age 5 we returned with her 2 younger sisters and she was the tour guide… I kid you not saying how much fun we would have and of course lots of princess talk…
