Toes Marijuana woes and what’s your penis up to?
Toes .. marijuana woes and what’s your penis up to?
Wow… you have beautiful eyelashes, I tell the pretty young girl giving me a pedicure. Well, they are extensions she informs me and I wonder what I would look like with all those lashes? I decided with my wrinkles that they would look more like a family of spiders that got caught in a web, on my face. Ah well, I have other attributes.. hmm, let’s see well I’m sure it will come to me eventually.
Her name is the same as the colour of the dress I am wearing, with an E at the end… Teale. She is newly minted from esthetician school and the luck of the draw has her doing my pedicure, while the two other experienced gals get my daughters. I will try not to make her sorry she got the old lady who doesn’t shut up, and will keep prying into her life, I’ll also try not to make her ears bleed.
My Mother’s Day gift is this all-girls pedicure event, after a delightful supper overlooking The Legends golf course in Warman. In my pedicure chair in The Dahlia Salon and Spa in Martensville, we are sipping wine (our own which the girls brought) and enjoying being pampered in our private room.
The girls doing our pedicures are friendly and one of them, Dana, is a massage therapist I suggest to Teale to look over at her and copy the massage moves she is giving my daughter. Well, it is like this.. being over sixty, I am just brimming with unsolicited advice and wisdom (I blurt stuff out.. sorry Teale).
Some things I don’t know and I ask if anyone knows where I can get a marijuana seed. Well honestly, you would think I asked if anyone knew how to rob a bank.. geeze! It is not like I’m going to smoke it for crying out loud.. I quit smoking nine years ago!
I only want one seed or two to grow one plant. I would use it to bake a few cookies or something, as an experiment. Yes, I was a child from the seventies and did try it once but it was a non-event and now I am a little curious.
Well, these girls are reading me the riot act and are going on and on and I am doing my best to not do the rolly eyes. I insist they must know where to get one lousy seed. Then one of them says “Well if you get caught with it (I don’t plan on dealing drugs for God’s sake) you will have a criminal record and won’t be able to go across the border.”
This immediately gets my attention.. ah well, it is not like I was that serious about it anyway. It was just a casual conversation with a friend of mine, and we were discussing the merits of different relaxation techniques to relieve stress and aid sleeping. Guess the prescription hard-core drugs will have to suffice, sigh.. it was only one lousy seed.
A little update here:
I wrote this over five years ago. Marijuana is now legal and who knew that would happen? Have I tried the various forms it comes in.. well no I haven’t. I have no immediate plans to imbibe, my drug of choice is alcohol once in a while. My highs come from living my life my way and my lows come from the same thing.
I would not hesitate to use marijuana in its many forms if I required it for any reason. These are choices we can make for ourselves without the fear of getting in trouble with law enforcement agencies. A more troubling form of enforcement brewing in the country directly south of us.. is our reproductive rights. That is something worth fighting for. We are in charge of our bodies, good grief are we going to have to fight this fight again?
MEN are the cause of every single pregnancy! We should insist ALL MEN when they come of age, have a vasectomy (which is reversible) go on a birth control pill for men, or make condoms mandatory! Why don’t we legislate this for all men who so obviously go around causing unwanted pregnancies?
Let’s legislate control over male penises and men’s reproductive organs.. who’s up for it? .. sorry/not sorry.
