SCREW THE STATUS QUO!
I'm generally a man of patience... but some things just grill me!! Just found out that Amazon Honor System has nuked my account, which allowed people to make online donations to the site. And why is that?
Would have to imagine they don't like the fact that I'm "inappropriately" using their system (not to mention giving them about 30 cents of each dollar donated) by sending out Salvia samples. Yeah, give ME a problem for it -- just like PayPal did. THEY nuked my account (and also shot themselves in the foot) too... for the same thing.
But hey -- the major commercial vendors... you know, the guys that ship TONS of it -- THEY have intact PayPal accounts. And why is THAT?? Because they offer Salvia strictly as an "INCENSE"... "NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION"... you know? Well good for them. And good for me, too. I'd just as soon NOT DEAL with the likes of Amazon and PayPal if THEY can't Just Say Once to the reality of what's REALLY going on.
Grrrr!! The next thing you know, BraveNet is going to delete this Forum for me using the word     ... since in this FREE version, it doesn't let you use profanity... except, as I figured out, if you click on the MORE SMILIES link and select SETS. If you try to spell it the regular way, it comes out "****". Hee hee... I just LOVE getting around The System!!

Re: SCREW THE STATUS QUO!
Hi Tim (webmaster), I wanted to commend you on your choices of enthogens and your non-support of neferious
activities. The law or rules are for the purposes of not getting into trouble. However the world is such an incredible place with so many possibilities that there can't be rules for everything. An so, enthogens, thank you for opening my eyes, Tim! Kudos, Kudos, or is that a bad thing since the guy who made it known turned out to be an illegal drug user of the highest magnitude. Any way thumbs up ! The sometime difficult part is waiting the 8hrs  before ingestion. Salvia is Dynomite and more istantly gratifying,however...

TOO funny -- or sad?
This is too funny not to be true! From young people who don't know
how to make change to not knowing United States currency! The Food
Server was probably age 15, and the Restaurant Manager was
probably age 17!
The $2 Bill. Everyone should start carrying them! I am STILL
laughing!! I think we need to quit saving our $2 bills and bring them
out in public.
The younger generation doesn't know they exist.
On my way home from work, I stopped at Taco Bell for a quick bite to
eat.
In my billfold was a $50 bill and a $2 bill. I figure that with a $2
bill, I can get something to eat and not have to worry about anyone
getting irritated at me for trying to break a $50 bill.
Me: "Hi, I'd like one seven-layer burrito please, to go "
Server: "That'll be $1.04. Eat in?"
Me: "No, it's to go." At this point, I open my billfold and hand him
the $2 bill. He looks at it kind of funny.
Server: "Uh, hang on a sec, I'll be right back."
He goes to talk to his Manager, who is still within my earshot. The
following conversation occurs between the two of them:
Server: "Hey, you ever see a $2 bill?"
Manager: "No. A what?"
Server: "A $2 bill. This guy just gave it to me."
Manager: "Ask for something else. There's no such thing as a $2
bill."
Server: "Yeah, thought so."
He comes back to me and says, "We don't take these. Do you have
anything else?"
Me: "Just this fifty. You don't take $2 bills? Why?"
Server: "I don't know."
Me: "See here where it says legal tender?"
Server: "Yeah."
Me: "So, why won't you take it?"
Server: "Well, hang on a sec."
The Server goes back to his Manager (who has been watching me like
I'm a shoplifter), and says to his Manager , " They guy says I have
to take it."
Manager: "Doesn't he have anything else?"
Server: "Yeah, a fifty. I'll get it and you can open the safe and get
change."
Manager: "I'm not opening the safe with him in here."
Server: "What should I do?"
Manager: "Tell him to come back later when he has real money."
Server: "I can't tell him that! You tell him."
Manager: "Just tell him."
Server: "No way! This is weird. I'm going in back."
The Manager approaches me and says, "I'm sorry, but we don't take big
bills this time of night."
Me: "It's only seven o'clock! Well then, here's a two dollar bill."
Manager: "We don't take those, either."
Me: "Why not?"
Manager: "I think you know why."
Me: "No really, tell me why."
Manager: "Please leave before I call mall security."
Me: "Excuse me?"
Manager: "Please leave before I call mall security."
Me: "What on earth for?"
Manager: "Please, sir."
Me: "Uh, go ahead, call them."
Manager: "Would you please just leave?"
Me: "No."
Manager: "Fine -- have it your way then."
Me: "Hey, that's Burger King, isn't it?"
At this point, he backs away from me and calls mall security on the
phone around the corner. I have two people staring at me from the
dining area, and I begin laughing out loud, just for effect. A few
minutes later this
45-year-oldish guy comes in.
Guard: "Yeah, Mike, what's up?"
Manager (whispering): "This guy is trying to give me some (pause)
funny money."
Guard: "No kidding! What?"
Manager: "Get this...... A two dollar bill."
Guard (incredulous): "Why would a guy fake a two dollar bill?"
Manager: "I don't know. He's kinda weird. He says the only other
thing he has is a fifty."
Guard: "Oh, so the fifty's fake!"
Manager: "No, the two dollar bill is."
Guard: "Why would he fake a two dollar bill?"
Manager: "I don't know! Can you talk to him, and get him out of
here?"
Guard: "Yeah."
So, the Security Guard walks over to me and says .....
Guard: "Mike here tells me you have some fake bills you're trying to
use."
Me: "Uh, no."
Guard: "Lemme see 'em."
Me: "Why?"
Guard: "Do you want me to get the cops in here?"
At this point I am ready to say, "Sure, please!" but I want to eat,
so I say "I'm just trying to buy a burrito and pay for it with this
two dollar bill. "
I put the bill up near his face, and he flinches like I'm taking a
swing at him. He takes the bill, turns it over a few times in his
hands, and says, "Hey, Mike, what's wrong with this bill?"
Manager: "It's fake."
Guard: "It doesn't look fake to me."
Manager: "But it's a two dollar bill."
Guard: "Yeah, so?"
Manager: "Well, there's no such thing, is there?"
The security guard and I both look at him like he's an idiot, and it
dawns on the Manager that he has no clue.
So, it turns out that my burrito was free, and he threw in a small
drink and some of those cinnamon thingies, too.
Made me want to get a whole stack of two dollar bills just to see
what happens when I try to buy stuff. If I got the right group of
people, I could probably end up in jail.

Dream of HITTING THE ROAD
Irene and I are just about ready to leave our heretofore "respectable" lives behind and HIT THE ROAD. I would estimate within a few months to a year or so, we'll have the chance to do so -- and The Plan is to buy some 1100cc Honda's, a pop-up tent, and a small trailer to pull behind... and set ourselves up as traveling Temporary Airbrush Tattoo Artists.
It may be a dream, only a dream, sure... but then again -- it seems to be a REAL profitable business to get into... and our goal is to travel around to fairs/rodeos/carnivals/car and biker rallies etc and apply temp tats on folks for anywhere from $5-$15 a pop. They only take a minute or two to apply and the ink and other equipment is pretty cheap so the profit margin is VERY good.
We'd like to spend a few days a week on the road and have a home base to come back to... and if we could work on doing area-wide birthday parties, grand openings, sporting events, graduations, Bar Mitzvah's -- WHATEVER -- that'd be cool, too. The thing is, we want to go into business for ourselves. We want the wind in our hair and the bugs in our teeth. We want to feel CREATIVE and take advantage of our natural inclinations as OLD FART WINGNUTS and leverage it into an enconomic reality.
WISH US LUCK!!
