Great to see Syc, Spode and Spex - and all on the same page!
And now I''ve seen Glatt's woodie [heheheh]

Two and a half Dwellars.
And me on the train home after a lovely afternoon with Dani.

Nice!

And Carrot is thwarted in his bid to become the Yorkshire Area Photobomb Champion of the Year.

Better luck next time, old chap.

Very nice! I love these GTG shots.

Girl on Girl shots?:eek:

Just cut my hair... Sorry, LJ. My hair will grow back. :D

I like z short hair !!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !!!

Bunny, you go girl.
You could get a grade 1 (dunno if that translates) and still have the same gorgeousness.

Seriously, that's gotta be better for you in the summer heat, right?

I'm still yearning for locks that long, Lola ... you're beautiful!
Once my hair grows beyond its current ridiculous length/appearance, I may post something again. Meanwhile, such gorgeous pics, Sundae and Dani! :)

It's still cool, some would call that still long. Did you save what they cut to auction off?

I would donate it but they dont accept dyed hair. So I just threw everything away. If it's a bob, then you would call it a long bob. Technically, that is considered as medium length. My hair was a few inches shy of touching my waist, so I guess some would call this short.

Took this as a before pic before I head off to the salon this afternoon.

You all look so great!

Yup.

I snuck into a picture on the local news site.

here's the link to the gallery:

I see you!

You look much younger. It looks nice and soft.

In still mad at you though.

Hi monster!

Seriously though, that news photographer isn't going to win any pulitzer prizes for that boring photo. People walking into a door off in the distance. Hidden behind a pillar and trash can.

Snuck in? Don't they know your the star, the engine powering the organization, the music director and glasses chooser? They should be showcasing you. :crone:

That tiny young thing with the tanned and toned thighs?
(and no I don't mean any of those huge swimmer boys young enough to be my offspring)
Looking damn good, Monster.

You need your own spread in the Ann Arbor version of Hello.
"Monster and Her Sporting Family Relax in Their Spacious Holiday Home with Banana Lady" (saves having to clean- we know celebs lie anyway)
"Can Still Say 'Harry Potter' Like Professor Snape"

It's a still from the new swimmer-pron movie 'Behind The Beige Door'.

Dude those boys are 13-17 and two of he swimmers that day were my kids.


It was 92 degrees marshalling the 9/10 kids today, but at least most of them are shorter than me.

Wow, the Cellar ladies are looking great! How did we manage to score so many hot women on this site? In my redneck tongue, I'm trying to say you all look gorgeous

I'll stop trying to be funny.

If I offended you I sincerely apologize.

You have to know I was joking. Did you really think I really thought they (you) were shooting a porn movie?

I'm just gonna shut the fuck up for a while.

Again, sorry.

Geez, grav, I never got this lovin' from you ... don't you dare shut up or go away. I depend on your humor here to get me through the pennsyltucky bs when it happens.

Damn the haters, post that humor!

I thought Monster had house-broken Gravdigr a couple of years ago....... I guess he'll have to stand in the corner again. They keep making me put my nose in a circle on the chalk board.

Grav, you can stop trying, but there will always be some who laugh at you anyway. ;)

I didnt think what you said was offensive anyway fwiw.

Oh shut up. Monster's a sharp cookie, and playing the offended card to a T. Don't fall for that shit, man. There's nothing wrong with you or your posts. :headshake

I think the jury may still be out on the former...

;)

That's me - the gray hair in front - at my new job. :)

Yah awright!! link

Ha! Very nice.

It really is VERY nice. I certainly never expected to be pimping weed for a living, but I have to say, I'm LOVIN' it. :D

To a person, the staff, management, and owners are all outstanding human beings, and our customers are nearly giddy with joy. Finally, a job that's fun, working with and for people I genuinely like and respect, selling top-notch products to people who just can't get enough. FUCKIN' DREAM COME TRUE~!

:joint:

Glinda - are you having problems with the illegal aliens overrunning your town?

Not that I know of . . . in fact, I haven't heard a thing about the issue at all!

(To be fair, I haven't been watching the local news of late - too darned busy!)

:thumb2: Very nice to meet you! :D

Oh come on, Brian Budz - President. :lol2:

Hope it stays what you want, for as long as you want, Glinda. :thumb2:

Saw this in a UK newspaper the other day.

I have Glinda envy

Me too.

That's awesome. really.

congrats!

Glinda, I've heard there have been a lot of glitches with the setup up there compared to Colorado. How has it been in your experience so far?

I swear to god, that's his real name (really and truly)! It's like his parents knew . . .

Thanks. :) It's a little crazy now, because we don't have a steady supply of bud yet. The state just issued grower licenses in mid-April, so the supply is pretty spotty right now. Give it another three weeks when harvest time kicks in, and we expect to have a regular stock of 100-150 strains all the time.

In the meantime, everyone's taking it one day at a time. We had another crazy day today - got a few pounds in overnight, and out the door it went in 3.5 hours. :cool:

So far, except for the lack of a steady supply of weed, it's going really well. We use a software program that's connected to the state's database, so everything that comes in and goes out is automatically recorded to the state's satisfaction.

Here in WA, there is no open bud anywhere in the store. By law, growers must have their bud tested by the state and all THC and CBD levels must be documented. Then, growers are required to package (heat seal) the bud in whatever increments they want, and affix labels similar to the one seen in the image posted by Carruthers, noting the strain, the weight, THC and CBD levels, moisture content, lot number, and so on. When it arrives in the store, it's already a done deal - no measuring, no trimming, no nothing by any of us. We just put the packages in a bag and send the customer on his merry way.

Our store has also worked all taxes into the price to come up with an even number, to make it easier for buyers and staff. For example, today we were selling 2 grams of various strains for $40 total - that includes all the taxes (State Liquor Board [which oversees all MJ sales] as well as sales tax). So when we say you can buy 2 grams for $40, it's actually 2 grams for $40. The only other store in the area doesn't do this (and they charge a lot more, too - in general, what we sell for $40, they sell for $60).

Those prices are expected to come down soon, though. Right now, the grower can demand pretty much whatever price he wants. Soon, the supply will catch up with the demand, though, and prices will drop.

ETA: Edibles aren't on our menu yet. The state is still working out how they want things to go. The other day, the state decided there would be no candy edibles (lollipops, gummy bears, etc.), so it's probably only going to be baked goods, oils, and tinctures. Looking forward to the day they decide what the heck they're doing and let us know!

Take heart in they haven't said you can do such and such, then weeks later say no, we changed our mind you can't do that. Oh sorry, the lobbyist for somebody important was on vacation when we made that ruling. Now the money and labor spent on making it happen a waste, plus it's now stuck in the customer's mind it's reality. In other words, it could be worse. :D

So it comes out to about $600 for a legal ounce of marijuana?? Note for legal purposes in MS an ounce of marijuana is 30 gm instead of 28.6 gm.

I'll stick to my whiskey/moonshine. It is a whole lot cheaper.

Sounds like it will work out in the end, Glinda...for EVERYONE! :joint:

I posted how I wanted to try some pot and blah blah blah but I lost it. :neutral: Anyways...as Sarge said, I think I'll stick to my liquor. Cheaper. :D

The finer things in life, although they can be free, are usually not the cheaper things.;)

Hehe....Yups. For example, good liquor ain't cheap either. :p:

there ya go Dude ,
Chillen like a Villen !!!

Glinda! You rock! Good to see you.

glatt...it has to be said. You have very knobbly knees. :)

Thanks, IM! Now that my life is sort of stabilizing with an actual job, I'm feeling like it's time to reach out to old friends and catch up.

In my absence, I've been equally much too busy (scrambling for any little odd job that comes along and working my ass off for next to nothing, hocking jewelry, posting for sale ads on Craigslist, holding yard sales, etc.) and far too depressed to post much.

But during that time, I've lurked occasionally and thought about the Cellar and its outstanding collection of interesting, clever personalities often. Particularly over the course of the last few months, because . . .

I HAVE A NEW COCK!!!

http://i.imgur.com/amAEg0n.jpg

Please say hello to Norman. Norman Cocks. He's a Silver Gray Dorking. *snort!* Unusually high in entertainment value and oddly suitable for mass Cellarite appreciation.

:cool:

Hi Glinda! All sounds pretty cool. And there's nothing quite like a nice new cock after all :)

Yeah, it's nuts. But you have to remember that the law applies a 25% excise tax at each level of the system: from producer to processor, from processor to retailer, and from retailer to customer. In addition, local retail sales taxes apply. That's a mighty heavy tax burden.

We're buying the stuff for $6-7 per gram right now, but that's going to drop a lot once (1) currently licensed growers start harvesting, and (2) the state issues more growing licenses. Right now, there are only about 80 licensed growers; there are another 1800 on the waiting list.

Still, regardless of the price, people are more than happy to stand in long lines for it. Our primary clientele is baby boomers who have't smoked for decades and don't have their own connections. For these folks, even if they wanted some bud, they wouldn't know how to go about getting some, and the whole "it's illegal!" aspect generally stopped them in their tracks. But now that it's legal, they're coming out of their self-imposed pot prison and into the light!

THANK YA, BABY JEEZUS!!! :thumb2: :jig: :fumette: :beer:
