Today, while bored at work, I decided to do a search on the username my son most often uses. On another forum, I found that he’d started this thread:
“My mother gave me money to buy weed for my stepdad to help with the pain from breaking a vertebrae. How should I react?”
:smack:
Yeah, he’s 21. Heck, almost 22 at this point. Still, not exactly the sort of thing that I want to read.
It’s especially disturbing, considering his mom is a lawyer.
:smack:
I’ve learned not to look at my niece’s Facebook page. I don’t want to sully the image of purity and innocence that I have of her. I would also like to continue my belief that she can spell.
You should inform your son that blood is thicker than water and that he should share his weed with his real father. You should join the message board to do that and get the user name “Dad”. See how long it takes him to figure out that it is you. Turn your mother in to the state bar will give him a big hint. I’m am such a shit disturber.
Heh… well, I did respond to his question with, “Well, whatever you do, don’t tell your dad.”
I used the username that he knows I use. Should make this Christmas fairly interesting.
The Onion…a video for every occasion.

Well played.
Probably just me, but I’d be inclined to break a few more of Stepdad’s vertebrae, along with mom’s jaw.
Maybe, this reaction is acceptable if the son is not a regular pot smoker (ie his mother is asking him to do something illegal he wouldn’t normally do), If he is then asking him to buy it is no issue as he’d be doing it anyway.
And, yeah, he is a regular pot smoker. Bugs the crap out of me.
Hah, here is a post from my son:
*Why does Snoop Dogg carry and umbrella?.. Fa Drizzle!!! *
Searching for posts by loved ones or friends on the Internet is like asking a lover about their previous relationships: you just shouldn’t do it.
I have some younger relatives whom I have added as friends on Facebook, much to my regret - mostly because I’ve found out stuff I’d rather not know.
The only thing this guy did wrong was talk about illegal stuff on an online internet forum. You don’t discuss the acquisition of black market materials in a public forum…ever. You can say you have vaguely acquired them in the past, but you don’t talk about what’s going on in the present. There’s nothing wrong with medicating a broken back with marijuana or having a 21 year old procure it for you other than you are breaking a law that shouldn’t have been written.
I actually read that joke first in Reader’s Digest. I am totally not kidding.
People who read Reader’s Digest would get that joke? Don’t get me wrong, I love RD, but it seems like most of the people who read it are old…what with those AARP ads and the like. Not that that’s bad.
I once told my older sister the URL of my blog. I don’t write anything particularly weird or bad on there, but I do use some salty language of the type a man my age would use around his friends (that is, the people who read my blog). My sister left a couple of interesting comments once and it all passed without incident. Few days later I get a comment from my mother castigating me for using the “f word” so much. Everyone thought that was pretty funny. :smack:
No, they totally wouldn’t get that joke, which is why it was so weird. (I tried it out on my mom to make sure.)
Jeez. If my son’s been reading Reader’s Digest, he’s more screwed up than I realized ! :eek:
Readers’ Digest is a gateway drug. From there, who knows? We see kids reading periodicals like the AARP Newsletter, Kiplinger’s Retirement Report, Guideposts, Family Circle… there’s no end to it once they get started down that road.
I had a Redbook and Better Homes and Gardens addiction for awhile.
