Brick Top why are even on here you have all the answers or what I would call "A fuckin know-it-all.
I hate having to explain certain things roughly every six months but here goes. I retired at the age of 49. I get bored, growing is a cross between being a hobby and a passion. I have grown since 1972. I enjoy helping people, and in particular attempting to save them from being mislead and taught incorrect things and bad growing habits. I picked this site because it had the largest amount of totally clueless members and I felt I would be of more help here than on sites were most members know a great deal about growing.
Where are your pics of your plants since you are the almighty Dr. Greenthumb.
I have explained that numerous times before but I will do so again. Like so many others at a time I would post pictures but then after a few of busts of members of sites I was on, and one that happened local I decided that it was not a smart thing to do. On one board a member who grew in his basement posted a handful of pictures of his plants. In one picture you could see the corner of his furnace with what looked like a stick of some sort on it. Since he had a high resolution camera when enlarged you could clearly read the name, address and telephone number of the heat- a/c company that installed and serviced the furnace. Some cop monitoring the site passed the info to the guys local cops who then went to the heat-a/c business and managed to get enough information to track the guy down and he was busted .... because he posted pictures and managed to slip up in just one of them.
On another site a member posted pictures of their outdoor/backyard grow. They took one picture from high up, maybe a second story window or deck or maybe they got on their roof, but it showed their entire back yard with the various plots of plants. But being that it was taken from the height and angle it was you could see a line of power lines and a single road and the coast not far behind the home. Again some cop saw the pictures and managed to use the what was there, the power lines, the single road and the coastline and the member was busted.
A local guy was busted when he posted a single picture. He had a plant that was about to be harvested and he wanted a good clear picture of it away from his other plants and in a nice setting. He moved the plant to his living room or maybe it was his den to take the picture.
Now I have heard two versions from the locals just how the next part went but either a local cop was checking out the site and on the wall behind the plant he spotted a picture of a little girl that he recognized. The girl was in his daughter's class and they were friends and the guy was busted .. or his ex-wife spotted the pictures and ratted him out to the cops and the cop that checked out the report spotted the pictures of the girl who was a friend of his daughter and the guy was busted. Which is exactly how it happened I am unsure, but the picture and the cop's daughter being friends with the guys daughter were involved. To make it worse for him when he had been divorced he managed to get custody of his daughter. Due to the bust the court gave custody of his daughter to his ex-wife.
The final nail in the picture posting coffin for me was several years back, maybe 4 or 5 now now actually, and several boards back, I was having problems with someone stealing my newspaper. One day I came home and saw a car pull up to my newspaper box and take my newspaper. I got their license plate number and the next day I stopped by the County Sheriff's Office and ended up talking to the Sheriff himself. When I told him where I lived and gave my address his eyes lit up and asked, wasn't that Joe Blow's house? I said it was and he went on and on about how he and Joe Blow were old pals and how many hours he had spent in my house shooting pool and watching sports and attending parties. He described my house as well as I could have at the time. After those three busts, all in roughly one year's time, and knowing my local Sheriff knew the interior of my house like the back of his hand I stopped posting pictures. I decided that it was too easy to slip up and post actual evidence and hard clues to use to track you down.
You can add two more things to that. If I ever do have a problem I do not need to post pictures and ask a bunch of Beavis and Buttheads what they think the problem might be. If I ever do have a question about something I have never experienced and cannot find the answers to through actual true research and it is cannabis specific so my four family members with degrees in horticulture cannot help me there is only one member here I will ask for advice and that is Uncle Ben and I it has not happened much and when I did it I did it through PMs.
The second thing is I may seem egotistical but I am not some little bubblegummer whose main achievement in life has been to grow plants that would impress people. I do not need to have my ego stroked by posting pictures so people can go all Lady Gaga over them and my pictures basically just say, hey everyone look at this, look at what I did, aren't I good, aren't I impressive, I sure am cool, aren't I? I am not one of you little puppies who need to do that to make myself feel good about myself or to cheer me up. If I want to put a smile on my face I just look at my most recent financial statement and it puts a big grin on my face and gives me all the feeling of accomplishment that I need.
In case you are having a case of Alzheimers like most people your age has,
Actually the percentage of people that are 55, well nearly 56 years old now, that have Alzheimer's is very low. When you get about another 10 years older, in the 65 to 69 age group, roughly 1.6 males out of every 1000 will have it and by the time you hit the age of 85-plus it is roughly 35 males out of every 1000.
this site is for people to share THEIR experiences growing and to assist and be assisted when needed. You sound about as smart as a dumb ass.
You were partially correct. Sites like this are supposed to be for learning and to assist those who need assistance, but they are not intended for you little puppies to show off what you believe to be impressive in life only because you have never done anything in life that is actually something important and something impressive.
But sadly thanks to sites like this being filled with people like you, rather than the sites being storehouses of scientifically proven facts and knowledge they are mostly universities of ignorance where the blind lead the blind and where people like you who are horrified of actual facts, and of those who present them, you do all you can to fight against them, to discredit the proven facts and those who present them because they are proof that people like you do not know anywhere near what you want and need to believe you know, that people like you do not possess the skills they want and need to believe they posses, and worse yet, it points that out to everyone else here and that is an ego crusher for people like you.
Just because you can use all these big scientific words and can read the large print science journal doesn't mean you know anything it just means you can quote from a magazine.
That is a typical response of the uneducated. What you fail to understand, or just refuse to allow yourself to accept, is that when someone reads, they learn. When that is combined with decades of hands on experience, I will be entering by 39th year of growing very shortly, that equates to knowledge.
Another sign of the uneducated is they believe that a large piece of highly technical information can be rewritten and condensed into several lines and not lose anything important, not leave anything out that would explain things, that would give the causes and reasons why this or that are important or occur. The uneducated love to claim, if he knew it himself he would not need to C&P it. What your ignorance fails to allow you to understand is lacking the detail the educational portion of what is posted it lost. Including the detail means C&Ping or risk making errors in attempting to rewrite some research finding and if that happens then what is said becomes inaccurate, so what then would be the purpose of posting it? If inaccuracies are what are wanted there are far more than enough people like you here to supply more inaccuracies than any site would ever want, so why should anyone else add even more?
Then when it comes to certain words, well I do not use them often enough to be sure of how to spell them and the spell checker here does not cover them so when I mention things like hemiterpenes, sesquiterpenes, alloaromadendrene, cis-epoxy-ocimene, caryophyllene oxide, β-sesquiphellandrene and others I much prefer to C&P them rather than butcher the spelling.
People like you are incapable of understanding much of what I post so too you it is a waste of time and as I already said, it draw attention to and clearly points out your degree of ignorance, which hurts your fragile ego. No one like their intelligence being questioned and every time I post something that is way over your head that is precisely what happens, your intelligence is questioned, and you hate it. You cannot reply factually to anything I post so you call me old and make Alzheimer's jokes and call me a know it all in hope of people not clearly seeing that you are a 'know it less.'
show me some of your grows.
Nope ... I have explained that already. The only way I will ever be posting any pictures again is if I do what I have been considering doing for some time, that being moving to a Med. State where I would at least me legal on the State level. I have grown since 1972 and I have never been busted and you can say I am paranoid or taking things to the extreme, or even lie and say I do not really grow or are poor at growing, so that is why I do not post pictures if that is what you want to say and do, but I plan on keeping my not being busted streak going for as long as I continue to grow.
You have posts on here about Obama and Rock songs who gives a fuck about that on here other than you.
Yes I do throw in a few things like that now to both entertain myself and also a few others. It actually seems to work because I do tend to get a number of PMs from people who say they enjoyed the little analogy or comparison or whatever I threw in and even though I hate the whole rep system and wish it had never been created I do get +rep with short messages saying what I tossed in was good or funny or interesting etc.
So while it might only be a small percentage of members that enjoy what I add to certain messages, clearly some do like it and enjoy it.
You should find local bingo night
Ahhh .. how clever, another old joke. That one really stung me too.
and let us know nothings continue to successfully grow our stressed out fucked up plants (which Capdaddy has already made you eat those words with his pics).
I have not eaten any words so far and it will not be happening.
You can quote baseball stats to me all day long but can you actually play the game or are you a bench rider. You ride the pine and tell the starters what they are doing wrong. In so many words people need help and encouragement, not a old codger tearing them down all the time.
You are delusional. You are a Billy Mummy, you are Lost In Space.
WOW you have too much time on your hands
I have been retired now for almost 7 years. When you have been retired for about the same amount of time, that is IF you ever get to retire and do not end up spending what should be your retirement years as a Wal-Mart Greeter, you will find that you do have a lot of time on your hands to fill.
It is Winter here now, the water in the lake behind my home is too cold to enjoy so, my boat is winterized and stored until spring so I will not be passing time on or in the lake, other than the occasional warm day a time or three per month I will not be on a golf course for months, I live in a rural area where there is little else too do. Thanks to my last two relationships turning out so painful that I would happily pass a dozen kidney stones without any pain medication than risk repeating them, when I want a woman I visit
www.erosguide.com and 'order takeout,' so I do not waste all the bullshit time with women, so that frees up a great amount of time. But it all not only works for me, but I happen to like it very much.
If you don't like it, that is just too bad. And as I have said before, if you do not like seeing my messages then by all means, use the ignore function so you do not have to see them. It would be far better than you having your fragile ego shattered by what I post that you do not know, that you will never know and what you could never be capable of understanding even if you made the attempt, and it would be better for threads like this so they would not be filled with you whining like a young girl experiencing her first period.
So just go ahead and put me on ignore and save yourself and the rest of us from having to put up with any more of your crybaby routine and me needing to explain reality to you.
