how to evade awkwardness if bakes in public:

scary can work well but not so great if you are a grower
I am a grower, and.. yeah, I guess some people find me scary. I don't know why, I'm a little short shit. I really think that the reason why I'm not questioned is that I can behave perfectly normally even if I'm completely baked, and I think I have a strong personality, have learned to be assertive. I can also hold a conversation and keep my train of thought (that bit takes work, I already get distracted enough as it is) without sitting there giggling like an idiot. Plus, I have allergies, so my eyes are often red, and when I get high they'll even go red one at a time like with my allergies.

I've begun to find ways to smoke in public, and it's funny, but the more public you make it (I use a small bitty-ass pipe), the less people seem to notice. (I have to do it publicly when I'm riding, otherwise I'd be hotboxing the car. :lol: )(Is that what it's called when you fill up the car with smoke?)

hiding in plain site usually works very well. i am used to the west coast canada so its no problem to smoke anywhere really, but right now i am in central canada and its not quite the same, so i keep that stuff out of site.

trust me, if you have ever been to prison then flaunting being high in public is not something that is appealling. honestly, if u think that fascism only exists in history then you are blind, my case is specifically for eastern canada. but the cops treated me like a animal and kicked the shit out of me. and the inmates wernt very nice either.

I thought smoking out was what I did when I invite my friend over, "Hey! I've got some fresh, come on over and I'll smoke you out."

I'm still learning the parts of my bong, and that a bubbler isn't the same thing. :lol: And here I've been smokin' over 30 years (in a vacuum, apparently).

i just don't give a shit, if someone calls me out on being high i'll just say i'm having a really good day.

also if you make someone laugh they usually won't notice or not give a shit

No, hotboxing IS when you sit in your car with everything shut and fill it with smoke.. same goes for a small room you fill with smoke, whatever. And smoking out IS when you get someone else high off your herb. You were right the whole time sea. Why in the hell would hotboxing be a big cherry at the end of a joint? Doesn't make sense..

:lol: Thank you! Unless... unless you're old like me. :shock:

Imagine my surprise when I learned that the bowl I broke from the bong my stepson gave me is ACTUALLY called a slider (and I sure wish I could find one that matched the bong, he's gonna scold me when he finds out what I done did). At least I know the parts of my own body. :lol: I hope! Wait, shit! I think one of 'em just fell off. :(

Stems on sliders break all the time seamaiden. No big deal, they come in two standard sizes so just pick up a new one at your local head shop. You can actually add some stuff while you are there like an ash catcher. :wink:

The stem didn't break, it was the little... the thing that sticks out that you lift it by, and that broke part of the bowl. Does that make sense?

If you knew where I live you'd know, we ain't got no head shops 'round heer, BLT knows what I mean, probably more so then even I do. Gonna have to hit Tahoe or Sacramento for that, and we may get snow upcountry this weekend. (Too cold to ride!) I paid $2.69/gal out north of Sact'o Monday, so... jeez, maybe I could talk The Man into a trip up there, we could hit our favorite sushi place (I so love nigiri). Mm hmm. 8) Good idea you had there, NG!

This is why I ask young(er) people to tell me what they're saying. My kids haven't hipped their mom to the lingo. :lol:

Edit: Ok, what's an ash catcher? Wait, I Google.

Hey! That's kinda cool. It reminds me of the thing you use to catch ants for ant farms. In my searching for parts I discovered a place that makes glass screens. I can't quite make them out (eyes), but they look like tiny glass propellers or something like that. Has anyone ever used a glass screen?
(I wish they'd fix the links on this site, I like a lot of their stuff) Glass screens.

Yeah that little piece breaks often in those cheap cone type bowls. When you get the the head shop you can upgrade to a better bowl, where that will not happen. These are ash catchers:

Can you recommend this online shop as a vendor? Did you see my link on the glass screens? Thank you in advance. :)
