I always enjoy watching the Olympics. I like the figure skating, snow boarding, ski jumps etc..anyone have any thoughts about this years games thus far? What are some of your favorite events? Btw I totally cringe when I see these skaters fall. Also I must admit I don't quite understand the sport of curling. So if anyone does please enlighten me.

Absolutely! Can't wait for hockey! Go Slovakia!

 
I loved watching Slopestyle. Watching figure skating now. Winter games are my fave.

 
A friend of mine had someone from her hometown play Hockey last night. She did very well. Fun to watch!

 
Watching off and on.

I do enjoythe opening music, something about it makes me giddy.

I'm not much of an ice skating enthusiast, perhaps it's just misplaced jealousy /default_smile.png

Seeing the fire in the eyes of people who have dedicated their lives to any sport, amazing what a human body is capable of...

I won't lie, I LOVE watching people win!

Happy to be a cheerleader from the comfort of my own bed!

Which by the way, sounds like a serious upgrade from some of the less than cozy Sochi accommodations.

 
Yes love the Olympics.  I am married to a former Olympian.  I could do without all of the freaking commercials.

 
Yep watched the cross country skiing yesterday and Jesus are those guys absolutely done for when they finish! They all just collapsed in a heap in the snow one by one at the end. Yep there is something magical about the Winter Olympics for sure.

All the best..

 
My husband taped 20 hours of it on our cable box! Really?

Beranda I agree totally about the opening ceremonies. It's a beautiful thing to see. Also funny you mention the hotel accommodations as we were looking at tweets and pics of them last night some of the athletes posted and holy crap!! Jmorgan I agree it's totally cool your spouse was an Olympian! Wow! Plus that ski course they are doing over there is no joke! Saw a lot of the snow boarders fall last night that makes me nervous. 😖

 
Awesome, bet you're so proud! What an achievement! Mine look like nothing compared to that! Now I can say I know someone that was in the Olympics via virtual friendship! Cool!

Thanks HL.  She is still swimming masters and competing on a national level.  She is hard as a rock and I think she could kick my ass if she wanted to.  Just don't let her know.  Don't need to be sleeping with one eye open at night.

 
Anyone watching tonight? I'm really enjoying it. Saw the twins win the speed skating. And the story of the Canadian who won gold in Vancouver who said it was for his handicapped brother. Made me all teary eyed. Such feel good stories being told. Reminds me there is good in the world.

 
US woman's hockey.  They are bad ass!!  Bring home the gold girlz /default_cool.png

 
The women's hockey players are bad ass u are so right! Also @Maybesomedsay I missed a lot last night. Had too much going on in the house but those speed skaters are amazing!! They have such control! I did read about the brother dedicating his medal to his disabled bro and it was very touching. Lots of people are talking about it today at work.

 
I'm not too impressed this year with the Olympics to be honest...

 
Watching them now.  I really thought the US would be a stronger force in the medals.  Oh and the commercials again, WTH?  It's like commercial Olympics!

When I watched snowboarding the other night I feel like almost everyone fell! I know they were complaining about the Pike they use to do their tricks. I guess it must be more difficult than usual maybe bc everyone was busting their butts.

  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢
  5. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Sorry for comment below, but I couldn’t delete. Know I see the
  6. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Yeah Robert Duvall passing is a hard one. RIP
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP
  8. L @ Layne_Cobain: @ClintEastwood make a post about it homie they’re gonna take down your message here cuz shout box isn’t really for talking shop just random shooting the shit exc but yeh just put your message in a post on the forum in the appropriate place and ppl will get at you! 👊 ✌️
  9. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  11. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  16. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  17. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  18. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  19. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  20. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
