30. I went next door the other day and registered for medical marijuana for my severe carpal tunnel. Felt like I had fallen down a rabbit hole as i haven't smoked or touched drugs for 30 odd years. It was simple. It was an apothecary. Cases with glass jars of different pot. Tinctures, salves, cookies, gummy bears... I now can go in and buy my CBD or more if I choose. I was elated that we have that choice here. ( i know some states do but it still feels so progressive)
31. Living so close to the US border but not having to fight for basic human rights like Planned Parenthood, gay marriage, toilet use by gender. I have recently bought a book called " A Little History of the United States" by James West Davidson to try to understand the country better. It is a light overview but I have realised this year with so much attention focused on the US that i know diddleesquat about US history. I am hoping it clears so things up, like why everyone seems so divided on so many issues. Is there no common ground?
32. Living on the Wet Coast...i live in Victoria right now but spent the last 28 years on one of the Southern Gulf Islands with Vancouver Island at my beck and call. Skiing one day and surfing the next at Tofino. Amazing
That's all for now
while lying awake in bed...
oh wait... what is a custom forum ranking?
Woohoo thanks so much. I'm just on my way way home from work (ferry, not driving) so haven't read this all thru yet. Later! Oh and I'd probably trip all by myself on the way up to collect my prize. I'm so excited?

I'm a bit confused but would love a gold membership.
Congratulations on such a well run, fun site. I am so glad I'm part of it.
For light humour (which we all need these days), Offspring on Netflix. A lovely romp with a dysfunctional Australian family. For something really stupid and funny try Shitt's creek, a Canadian show with Eugene Levy. Take a chance on it. It gets better and oh so funny!
I should say, I am. I just want to be there but it's not quite happening.
Pride...maybe not brilliant, but a great story nonetheless. (London gay activists help the Welsh coal miners). Worth a watch.
Red red wine ohhhh...it's all up to you
Oliver! When playing charades one time, my daughter was trying to get my husband to guess. All he could come up with was O Liver. It still makes me laugh. I remember going up to London as a child to see the film and loving it. I had a crush on Mark Lester. It was a big outing in those days.
I've just got 10 counselling appointments through an women's agency. I get tired of going over my story, but I am going to try again. I am strongly resisting meds, but as I seem to cry at the drop of a hat, I wonder if I should.
I have nothing to offer but my laughter. Thank you. I needed that.
A man of many badges. Well done. I have yet to try writing, and I realise, therefore, I am not in the inner Lush circle as such. I admire all the people that find success in their writing.
"My bad" I had to ask what this meant. I still don't quite understand it but it's annoying.
Anytime. Bathing suits are unnecessary items.
Oops sorry, I missed Nicola's original post about keeping it simple at two.
i was somewhat joking, but my little town just had their Pride parade and the focus was gender identity so it's on my mind. I think it might give people the opportunity to be neutral when they first arrive at Lush. They can then go on to select an appropriate avatar once they settle in. Just saying....
