    So I just re-read The Hobbit,very cute & nice, I love it still!

    I was a real bookworm-nerd when I was younger, but I’m ok with rereading good books, so what should I read now? Any suggestions?

    Newer books greatly appreciated too of course 😘

      Have you read the sword of truth series by terry goodkind? Easily my favorite fantasy series, however there are 17 books in the core series, 21 total. I was also a bookworm and it killed me waiting for new releases…

      The rifters trilogy by Peter watts is great surreal sci-fi, and freely available (he released it free on his own website, as well as ebook download)

    I’m not so sure that doing this once in a while would hurt productivity. All the time - yes, once in a while - not so sure.

    I’ll bring the weed! Edibles so that no one has to inhale smoke if they don’t want to. Also, what this day needs is lying back and looking for shapes and pictures in the clouds. Haven’t done that since childhood.

        Brother relax they’re just cookies. Harmless, completely legal, slightly tainted cookies

          so fun fact, being under the influence of illegal substances is also illegal. and they’re currently trying to pass a law allowing police to check if you’re high without suspicion.

        Oof, in that case I guess I’ll have to go with a legal and socially acceptable drug that’s actually worse for you. Wine it is! I prefer dry red myself but I’m open to whatever lol

            Lmao fine! It’s annoying but I get it. If we’re having a picnic, everyone must be comfortable and happy. So let’s do it this way, anyone that wants to meet up for a smoke session before the picnic is welcome to join me and if you me slipping away from the crowd your few moments, you know what’s up. But I’m actually fine with keeping the picnic itself PG for the sake of all ages and cultures.

                That’s totally fair. Not everything has to be an excuse to get drunk or stoned or whatever. Just being in good company, eating good snacks and hanging out can be enough.
