Did anyone ever cut the bottom off of a gallon jug of milk or a 2 liter soda bottle, fill the bathtub and use it as a giant gravity bong? 

me neither.....

I was 16- A friend brought over a joint on thanksgiving and we smoked it in my closet before dinner. I remember justifying the smoking of it in my room because my mother has no sense of smell and "what the hell, my parents are reformed hippies"  I didn't think about my Dad though....and luckily in later years came to discover that he occasionally imbibes at Jimmy Buffet concerts; as I found him high and lost in the parking lot one year. He also smoked right next to me at A Rolling Stones concert when I was 13....but I was dumb and just wondered what was so stinky. Many years later, my brother told me.

Snapping turtle. Bigger than your hand.

I used to do reptile rescue and have had some very large monitor lizards and even an anaconda in my care..but never a snapping turtle.  That takes balls my friend....one wandered into my front yard last summer and I freaked out like a little girl.

I've also recently made the decision to move....hopefully by spring.  I'm totally looking for roommates (wink wink)...who also like dogs (the best security systems on the market)

Congrats on the decision!!  It can be so freeing to finally make the decision and center all your goals around the move!!!!

High fives for the Stanhope clip!!!

I get so irritated when I hear people complain about how "selfish" it was for the person to commit suicide, yet they pretty much ignored the person when they were alive.  I've had 3 friends commit suicide, and while I am so thankful I wasn't the one to find them, I never once made it all about myself and cried that it was selfish for them to "leave me".  People have their reasons and I feel that while we can be there for them while they are still alive, but we can not force them to do anything.  Of course I was sad, but I'm not going to tell someone what to do....or tie them up so they don't do it, or worse yet, call the police.

A friend's Mom was living in a different state and called him depressed and threatening to kill herself.  My friend called the police in her local town. 3 hours later she called him from a jail cell claiming they broke her front door and pepper sprayed her, cuffed her and shoved her into a cruiser.  *True Story.  This is one reason why you shouldn't call the police on a mentally unstable family member threatening to harm themselves..... It will just make their life harder and when the State gets involved, the person risks never being able to get a job again because they now have a record, a forced 72 hour hold under their belt, and might been seen as "crazy" hone having to explain the any criminal record associated.
