Bro. Awesome pic. You look like every weed dealer from that time period.
I have to know... what kind of car did you drive? I'm guessing a mid 80s Monte Carlo or a Cutlass Supreme with a Scorpions tape stuck in the deck.

Who fuckin sells weed and bangs milfs and shreds on the guitar...and cleans pools occasionally,you mean,right? 😳😂😂

No, but I did play a mean guitar back then.

Would have paid better. I was an auto mechanic at the time.

Most likely purchased at Pep Boys, no doubt.

Buys it…that’s still a thing?
DWright_5 t1_iuhqy1d wrote
You mean instead of grow it? I’m sure there’s a way to do it right, but anything home-grown that I’ve ever smoked was pretty lame. I buy good stuff.

A lot has changed the last 20 years, easy to find top-shelf genetics nowadays, and hard to mess it up. Living in a legal state helps too.

I’m in NY but the law was passed just last year. I think a lot of stuff is gonna be opening up in 2023 so it’ll be interesting to see.

Fuck it! There's so much shit that pisses me off! You guys should recruit, 'cause I'm sick and fucking tired of walking down the street, waiting for one of these crack-piping, ass-wiping, motherless lowlifes to get me!

Bald in 3 years. Hope you were able to lock down a hot wife before then.
toddhd OP t1_iui37pd wrote
Bald in 20 years, and yes, thank you for asking.
toddhd OP t1_iui3o2q wrote
Douchebag, maybe. Narc, quite the opposite. I grew up in an extremely abusive environment and still deal with issues of self worth.
toddhd OP t1_iui3zbc wrote
Was a massive pot-head back then, quit for about 25 years, and then started again. Thankfully, I live in a state where it is legal to grow or buy. I don't miss having to deal with drug dealers. But yes, at the time, I sold it too.
toddhd OP t1_iui42h5 wrote
Mustang. Same thing, different mechanical issues.
toddhd OP t1_iui4h8r wrote
Nah, but I could have played one on TV. I looked scary, but my nickname at the time was "Toddy Bear" if that gives you any idea.... I was mostly mush.
toddhd OP t1_iui4r62 wrote
I understand your frustration. But I say, look inward. Rather than waiting for lowlife to randomly get you, you should go the low-life and demand to be dealt with now. Don't let others decide your fate.

Lol, there’s still an operating Pep Boys near me and I’m just like, How?! Also, when I was a kid and the skating rink was the place to be, they had a vending machine with fingerless gloves in it…
DWright_5 t1_iuid2ms wrote
Me too. Same same. I started again (after 24 years) because I’d gained a ton of weight from drinking too much. I cut out 80% of the alcohol and sort of replaced it with weed. I don’t think many doctors would tell you to do that, but my doc told me very sternly that I was risking serious health issues, and probably sooner than later, if I didn’t lose weight.
But, I knew from my past that daily weed use acts as an appetite depressant for me. So I did it. Now I’ve lost 60+ pounds, and my doc is thrilled. He didn’t even react much when I told him how I did it.
(Full disclosure: I did do a number of other things to facilitate the weight loss.)
toddhd OP t1_iuipsen wrote
That fantastic to hear, good for you! I'm glad you found what works for you, and yeah, both the weight loss AND the lack of alcohol will add years to your life, not to mention the quality of it.
At the time of this photo, I had a drug "problem". I used drugs so I wouldn't have to feel anything or deal with anything. I numbed out and stayed numb. It wasn't much of a life, and it took a suicide attempt for me to give it up.
That being said, I suffer from complex PTSD, depression and anxiety (among other things) due to extensive childhood trauma. That's what I was trying to drown out in the first place. Now, I've learned that I can use pot to "lower the volume" of the trauma, not to avoid dealing with it, but to get it to a level where I CAN deal with it. I've made huge strides in my mental and emotional health as a result, it's been a godsend.
toddhd OP t1_iuiq6mn wrote
Ah, yes, I'm sure a lot of people got the skating rink and panicked over not having fingerless gloves, and were so relieved to find them there :) LOL
The 80's were a strange time.
I'm shocked that there is still an operating Pep Boys. What state are you in?
