‘With no memories to speak of, the bickering playing field is unlevelled for good.’ 🤣I’m gonna need more though.

Haha once my gf realised I have no record of anything before now it makes any kind of dispute pointless.

Wrong Channel, I read this aloud to my wife and we both howled at it. Neither of us are stoners, thank goodness, but you can't read your very witty piece without saying, "Hmm. Do I do that."

Thank you for starting our day off with such a terrific piece of writing.

Ah thank you Sandy! Thats awesome. The idea of someone reading my writing, not only aloud, but to their partner, is almost too lovely to imagine.

Another corker, Sam!

I've never smoked a joint in my life, but I often feel like I have "the mind, body and soul of a root vegetable." How do you explain that?

Thanks Portia! The older I get, the less sure I am trading my memory for 5 years of giggles was worth it.

Haha I do not know, but there is a certain peacefulness to a root vegetable. Bed in the cool soil. Let the days pass by.

Haha - great stuff, Sam.

Marriage-wise, I think it’s best I left the stoner days in my late teens. However, there are times when I would love my pal to pull up outside in his little red fiesta, bad UK hiphop blaring, and drive us to the local bowling green for our evening entertainment.

Thanks man!

That was wise-wise. I have replaced my memory with a small whiteboard in the kitchen. I think I’ll need to scale up if we have kids. My fear is ill be one of those lethally clumsy dads who leaves their kid in car

Haha ah man, young and high in a shit car, doesn’t get any better than that. We’d blaze it up hardcore in the rowing club carpark. Once the police caught us. Young and high in a shit car with the police pulling up, doesn’t get any more panicky that that. I should do a 5 stages of stoning
