    Sounds like the “undercover spy gear” that was popular for a while. I think there was a cigarette case that folded open and became a gun and, of course, the ink pen telescope plus the ink pen with disappearing ink! And several others as well. It was weird… we all played outside using our imagination to create fabulous worlds in the same backyard that was a grand prix track yesterday and an undersea exploration spot the day before that. A stick was a horse one minute, a cane the next, a rifle after that , and a baseball bat… hitting home runs with the bases loaded, winning the world series. Those black walnuts would sail when you made good contact!

    Look… ok… it’s right there in my name…old. LOL

    It’s high time we take control of all these wild oaks out there. Every single one has thousands of acorns any any one of those might have YOUR name on it.

    We need action NOW!

    We need immediate Oak controls laws. And I damn sure don’t want to hear any of that stale old BS “my oak hasn’t ever harmed anyone”…

    Oaks have no place in polite society. End of discussion. Get educated!

    BTW that’s all satire. I love oaks. Actually my first knothole was an oak. I love oaks.

    For many years I was getting maybe 2 hours sleep a night. The slightest sound would wake me up and then I’d lay there trying to get back to sleep. Which spiraled into me getting up to pee 3 or 4 times a night. I read about Valerian root being great for helping fall asleep so I tried it with little hope. 2 capsules half an hour before bed. I nodded off easily and woke up a few hours later. 3 straight hours of sleep was unheard-of for me.

    Then I added a couple 25mg Benadryl to help me stay asleep or go right back to sleep if something woke me up… like my bladder that was now completely trained to need emptying every one and a half to two hours.

    Just prior to Covid I got a cpap. It took me a week before I slept thru the night. Happened again the next week… then a couple nights a week. A few years using my cpap and now most nights I sleep right thru or if I do wake up I can nod right back off. I still use the Valerian root and Benadryl every night but neither of those build up a tolerance.

    Word of warning: Actually 2… you will not get “high” on Valerian root and the dreams you have will be in ultra high Def technicolor Sid and Marty Kroft bizarre fun dreams. Actually 3… the Valerian root smells bad. As in 6 week old gym socks marinated in the trunk of your Chevelle during the summer mixed with dog shit. But they help and you only smell it for a second before swallowing.

    I also added a sleep eye mask with Bluetooth headphones built in and I listen to positive affirmations blended with mild rain sounds.

    So… pills, cpap, headphones mask.

    Hello, HeyThisisnttheYMCA Cannabis works something like this…

    Notice your arms? Yeah, they’re pretty cool. Especially how they turn into wrists then hands then BAM!!! Fingers everywhere. Don’t forget to breathe ok. Fingers are pretty snazzy appendages! You can grab stuff. Don’t forget to breathe ok. You can touch stuff. Touching stuff is super cool because you FEEL it when you touch something. Or someone… Like that night in Sidney. Boston was a great town. Wow! ! Sidney was HER name not the place OMG! Don’t forget to breathe ok. So you touched her insides. Yeah inside. Warm, cozy, and perfect. Inside… versus outside? Yeah outDon’t forget to breathe okside outside outside outside fresh air and everything is outside. Air Air is cool. But warm air is cool too. So warm equals cool. Explain in full your thought process in proving the therom warm equals cool. You have sixty minutes. Damn it you totally forgot to breathe! Don’t forget to breathe ok. STARTING, NOW! These writers cramps are killing me but this is my final final exam. I mean my fingers are knotted up, hands and wrists ache up to my arms… you ever notice your arms?
