Re: Cannibidiol CBD - what's up with this stuff?
Murray, I've never experienced the weed that is sold in states that have legalized pot for recreational and/or medicinal use. I've heard they can be much stronger than the hemp products that I'm speaking of. The products that are available in my state must comply with strict limitations of THC ...

Re: Cannibidiol CBD - what's up with this stuff?
With the changing landscape of CBD and THC products, I thought I'd revive this thread for additional discussion, if anyone is interested. My wife and I have used THC gummies for sleeping and recreationally. They produce a nice gentle buzz, like smoking pot in the old days. We also use THC-infused ...

Those fancy ones on Downton's Abbey and The Gilded Age look nice.

Re: Solo Stove
Sam, the Solo doesn’t radiate much heat, either, but the beauty of it is the lack of smoke as it performs a very efficient burn.

Re: Gin
I’ve discovered a new premium gin that I find to be very worthy. It’s called The Botanist, and though I feared it might be too floral with such a name, it’s actually very well balanced. It hails from Scotland, specifically the Isle of Islay, with a price at which a thrifty Scot might take umbrage ...

Re: Gin
Interesting that both of these illustrations include the “three dots.” The state of South Carolina still uses three dots to denote its liquor stores, also known as “red dot” stores.

Re: Gin
Gordon’s is my “house gin” for dirty martinis. Tanqueray is what I usually order in restaurants because it’s ubiquitous. Boodles is what my family gives me for gifts.

Re: Cataracts
I have had just my left lens replaced. My right eye is still in pretty good shape. My doctor recommended a simple, single-focal lens due to my diabetes. It’s been awhile, but I think he felt like that was best in case my eye underwent diabetic changes in the future. What I have ended up with is de ...

Re: What are you reading?
Re-reading Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. It’s a true story that reads like a Tennessee Williams Southern gothic screenplay.

Mais oui! On a similar note, I love watching this guy restore things. There’s something very soothing about it,

Re: I think I’m going to drink the peloton Kool-Aid
Prloton has lots of competition now. You might check other options as well. I know there is a rower with video link, and they are more full-body workouts than stationary bikes. Just a thought, Sam.

Wow, for a minute I thought this was a new thread and got excited when I saw a post from Squire. Alas, it’s from 2014.

Re: COVID survivors
It’s a very strange disease. Two people in seemingly good health can have very different reactions, one barely notice and the other get deathly ill. I can’t help but think the secret to an effective treatment lies in understanding why it affects people so differently.

Re: COVID survivors
Hear! Hear! Wear a mask! On one side or the other — and maybe both — masks are helping prevent the spread of Covid. It’s really THE VERY LEAST you can do to protect your fellow man, and maybe yourself, too. Thanks, Chris, for helping prevent the spread of misinformation.

Re: Socks
Bean makes a good boot sock, and I also wear ThorLo hiking socks regularly, including with my cowboy boots.

Re: New hobby: drone flying and video creation
SC Beaufort is pronounced BYOO-fort, while in NC it’s pronounced BOW-fort. The SC version is supposed to be very nice, also, and was the setting for the movie, “The Great Santini.”
