What's wierd is I was going to say the exact same thing! I love the smell of the print shop, the smell of paper and ink, the loud presses and paper cutters. To this day I still mention to my dad how I miss the smell. He worked there for 22 years and the business was bought out about 10 years ago and then they shut it down *sigh*

I'm new here too, I'm glad I found this thread, there's so many people to relate to and it's really amazing how much people we've never met have in common. It's great :hump:
Cool,
I've only been a member a short time but have connected with more people
in a few weeks than in the 9 years since I was disabled.
I miss the smell of a print shop if that sounds weird ?
I spent a total of 45 years in printing, started when I was just big enough to
put away hand set type but I guess that is ageing myself.
On another note I've kept trim for 2 yrs. just packed in mason jars and kept
in a light tight cabinet.
:peace:

Small world my brother, small world.
Cherish your dad, more than 25% of printers die of cancer or heart attacks
mainly because of the chemicals, also I never met an old school printer who
didn't drink like a fish!
But the ink and solvent gets in our blood and never leaves.

Northern Lights and blueberry are some great indica dominant strains I love, also blue hash and California hash plant are top notch and fast flowering
I have been curious about hash plant I've seen it in a lot of web sites.
I've always grown the standards outside WW, NL, LEMON, SILVER. ECT.
but since I have to grow inside because of development around me now
and I can't travel like I did before. I want to try some of the new strains
and Indica works for my son who has MS.
:peace:

For sure, it definitely is a small world. I wish I could get my dad to move out west, I moved from NY where he lives about 8 months ago and been trying to get him to come out for years (I've been planning my move for a while.) That's so wild that you mention printers drink like a fish because he loves his beer! I hope I can get him to move out here eventually, he's been in the same place for a long time though, and even though my brother and me moved away, I think he'll stay there. Me and him are scared of flying, so I think it's up to me to visit him since I love road trips and trains lol.

The hash plant is great, so resinous and 6-7 week flower time, super short stocky plants. Another nice mostly indica (though there is a sativa pheno) is the ice strain by royal queen. It's a very potent indica, great yields and great to grow

Dr.,love the photography. I start school in 2 days and am taking a photography class. I plan on getting a better camera in Oct after we catch up the bills from the summer.

I passed my NABCEP certification test for solar thermal heating I took 3 weeks ago. I got the results in the mail yesterday. It's kind of funny, I passed the national cert. but still have 2 semesters to get degree for that and the AAS in HVAC/R.

@AlphaPhase , is that upstate N.Y. or downstate? I live in the finger lakes between the only 2 undeveloped ones left. They actually have a bald eagle sanctuary on the end of one.

It took me over 4 years to even get my DR. to give me a mri when I messed my back up. He thought I was just trying to get drugs. My GF can't even pick up her paxil a day early. If Cuomo gets reelected ny is going to get even worse.

You have got to be joking. Schenectady??? I have friends there! I grew up in Oneonta. My dad worked out there as a printer who his job was shutdown. Schenectady is literally an hour or so from where I used to live, Oneonta and Binghamton

Yea, I thought Cuomo would do something good but he's just another lying
f'in politco.
Med. MMJ in this state is a joke no Dr. will be able to prescribe it only
research hospitals and then to limited malady's with poor prognosis's.

I'm in the same boat as you and Oldman, I'm 30, but I messed my back up when I was 20. I started smoking alot and it helped great. Very llittle pain meds. Then I had to have drug tests, so no weed only RX :( well 5 years of that, I moved to cali and I have cut my opiates in 1/2. And I haven't had any ambien in 2 months. I'm very happy with the results so far, but I kn9w I can kick the Vicodin soon. I only take x3 7.5 Vicodin a day compared to 6 10 mg when I couldn't smoke. I have 3 herniated discs, sciatica, and now anxiety and high BP from the anxiety. Which caused insomnia. It's funny how everything affects everything. I'm starting to get better, these pain meds are a devil though. I know I'm on a low dose now, but to some, it's high. I ccan't wait to be completely off them

That's why I moved, cuomo is a joke! I've been watching the mmj politics progress for a while . It always passed health board, but cuomo always said no. And now the "bill" he thinks will help people is so ridiculous!
