You can take cannabis in more ways than smoking, which doesn't give people enough THC to cure cancer- it takes cannabis oil. Or you can take CBD oil, which also calms people, raises their moods and is legal most places.
It also cures seizures and other problems.
birdingnut replies on Apr 25, 2018:
@okiestache Where have you been? People have been curing cancer with THC since the 1970s. The internet is crammed with stories, and even the official cancer website admits THC kills cancer cells without harming human ones, but keeps saying it hasn't been officially endorsed by the cancer society.
Mainly because chemo therapy and radiation, which recent studies in the U.K. show kills patients within 15 years of treatment for 50% of patients, is a billion dollar industry.
People who announce alternate cures in their clinics have been turning up dead in droves. So many in the past few years that it's forced alternate cancer care givers into hiding. You might try reading more.

I've gotten better in speaking Thai, but sometimes even now I stop them and say I'm not following them, but now they can usually reword it so I get it.

Not sure. They start conversations with me occasionally, but it's rare. Most Thai are trained from early childhood to leave strangers alone, and only interact with me if there are only a few of us riding a songhteaw truck bus, and someone who is older than I am is overcome with curiosity.
In Thailand, younger people must defer to older ones, and if a younger person you know greets you, you are not obliged to answer. Since I'm 65 years old, it's not often someone is old enough to question me. They are usually so curious about where I come from, why I'm living in Songkhla, why I can speak Thai, that they ask several questions in a row.

birdingnut replies on Apr 23, 2018:
@BeOPSVMo You have no idea what you would feel like if you woke up in a woman's body, and are only speaking from the viewpoint of a cis gender. It would be the same as if you made some comment like that about gay people..implying that something was wrong with them.
Trangender people are usually BORN feeling and believing they are the opposite gender of their assigned gender. Doctors used to believe that one's gender identity was purely a social construct (as many on this forum also seem to think) so when a baby was born with intersex genitals and they couldn't tell which gender it was was, they'd arbitrarily operate to make it female, since that's a relatively easy operation.
Later, as the children grew up, a third of them were OK with it, but two thirds were upset, identifying as male despite their operations, and later many sued the doctors, and tried to get restoration surgery.
Scientists think a third were genetically wired to be girls, a third to be male, and a third were nonbinary. Otherwise half would be happy, and half unhappy.

Until you educate yourself on gender issues, I highly advise you NOT to make comments about transgender people to that affect. People who are transgender are born with their brains imprinted with hormones from both genders, usually with the opposite gender stronger.
They don't "want" to be the opposite gender, they just "are." The same as if you woke up one day with a female body, you'd still think and feel like you were a man.
You'd feel horrified and ashamed of your body..maybe even start having panic attacks and getting depressed. That's called "gender dysphoria."

birdingnut replies on Apr 21, 2018:
@HoaryMarmot LOL! Gender traits have nothing to do with appearance (sigh). I look like a tiny, delicate woman but I'm partially transmale and I also pursue the prey, better than men do.,,but only if I have a crush on a female. My cis hetero women friends and relatives do NOT chase anyone, but men sure chase THEM.
Most Americans seem to know little about gender issues..thinking everything has to do with appearance, and most think "all women" are alike.

My pit bull Ladybug was obseesed with keeping her pack together, this may have been baggage from her being abondoned and put in a garbage bag to die. We would play hide a seek.

birdingnut replies on Apr 20, 2018:
@Stevil Yup! I also had to take her to the playground where she'd join the slide queue with the kids, climb the ladder, slide down, then get in line again. She also used to ride the merry-go-round if I'd get it started for her. She also wrangled my horse when I went up to the pasture to get him from a herd of other horses, but needed me to give her more work.
If I didn't throw the tennis ball for her, she would throw it herself, slinging it high into the air, then running and getting under it to catch it when it came down. Sometimes she'd just start it rolling down the stairs, then when it picked up speed, go after it.

The moon is actually artificial, and part of an even more advanced race's "planet seeding" drones they sent out to get planets like earth seeded with life and developing intelligent life.

birdingnut replies on Apr 19, 2018:
@evestrat I don't want to list all the gender trait links from years of reading, but pickiness, being critical, choosy, etc. are female traits. Cis hetero females are the ones running the cis hetero relationships. They choose the mates. They simply look at all the male suitors and pick the ones that give them best advantage.
You'll never see a cis hetero woman marrying a handsome drug addict homeless guy, for instance, or a janitor. If men are picky, they are only showing their female traits.
Most cis hetero men pursue the youngest, prettiest female they can find, no matter what she does for a living. It's all about what they see.
You might be a female, but you are apparently male-ish female, as most women on this forum are (including me)..since creative, high IQ people are mostly androgyne.

I loved that book as a kid. Lightning and La Brujah (an Akhal Teke throw-back mare) were Haitian mustangs..the original mustangs. Haiti used to be a horse supermarket for the new world, with fine Spanish, Arabic, and Turkish horse stock being bred there for importation.
The Haiti African slaves rebelled in 1791, killed off Napoleon's mighty army, and then began using the horses for domestic chores and riding without caring for them or gelding them. The strong horses who could survive on little care or food were what survived.
This is similar to what produced the North American mustangs..feral escaped horses multiplied into wild herds and bred at will.

birdingnut replies on Apr 18, 2018:
@ArthurPhillips (sigh) Despite all the silly sexist rhetoric about both genders being "equal"-they aren't. If a male isn't attracted to female himself and doing his own pursuing, he's not ever going to be committed..he'll be looking around for someone more picky and challenging...someone HE chose.
Women who pursue men are showing masculine traits, since they are hardwired to be predators, except for men heavy in picky female traits. I'd NEVER pursue a man because I'm not interested in them. Men have to pursue me and get ME interested in them, make me choose them over all my other choices. If men don't like it, I could care less.

I don't look at dating profile photos, as it's the male's job to contact me first. After someone messages me on the website, then I look at his profile.
But usually any man who contacts me hasn't even looked at my profile and knows nothing about me, which I find insulting, even though I know ...
birdingnut replies on Apr 18, 2018:
@ArthurPhillips (sigh) Despite all the silly sexist rhetoric about both genders being "equal"-they aren't. If a male isn't attracted to female himself and doing his own pursuing, he's not ever going to be committed..he'll be looking around for someone more picky and challenging...someone HE chose.

birdingnut replies on Apr 17, 2018:
@kensmile4u Worse than anything I can think of, although I've only "fallen in love" once, when I let my male gender mode dominate. Females don't fall in love..they "choose" the most suitable lover among their admirers. Of course, women heavy in male traits can fall in love, as I did, but it's dangerous for females. If they become as besotted over males as men get over females, they'd put themselves at risk of abuse.
Most cis hetero females not only are picky from the beginning, if a lover messes up later on, they'll not hestitate to toss his stuff onto the lawn and change the locks, while a masculine-trait woman is likely to keep forgiving him and letting him come back, as males do with female lovers.

A high percentage of high IQ people have some sort of mental health issue, or are LGBTQ in other ways. But that doesn't work both ways.
It's like saying all cats have fur, but not everything that has fur is a cat.
Most LGBTQ people I've met don't seem any brighter than most, so it's just the small percentage of them to which this applies.
Although extremely smart people are statistically more likely to be on the autism spectrum and/or LGBTQ, not all have gay, pansexual, or other alternate types of sexual attraction, although many do.

LOL! If none of the list applies to you, then don't worry about it. It does to most high IQ people. In fact, 140 IQ is considered the boundary line for people being able to relate to others easily.
If you want to count beans and get picky and critical, you are demonstrating a typical high IQ response. Part of what I meant by high IQ relatives being difficult to deal with.

@babsy I ordered a pound of powdered catnip online. It was way too much, and I only took a tiny fraction of it in years. You don't need much. Just google the closest place to you-probably most health food stores carry it.
Many people use it to calm babies during teething.

Beach_slim comments on Apr 17, 2018:
If don't care about IQ anymore. EQ interests me more.
birdingnut replies on Apr 17, 2018:
It's not a matter of "caring" about it..it's just a useful tool for self-evaluation.
EQ is very important and often inversely affected by IQ levels.
LOL! How many nice, kind, geniuses do you know? I don't know any. If you think some famous person you admire is nice, just meet them in person, or read an honest biography. Many/most act nuts, and treat people terribly. Dare to read up on Henry Ford, for instance. The guy was a semi-mobster.

I wonder how much of this counts if your brain has been injured.
birdingnut replies on Apr 17, 2018:
Still counts. I was beaten in the head and robbed, nearly died, in 2014. It slowed my brain and I had to relearn to walk and keep my balance, but my brain slowed down to match others around me for the first time in my life. It was such a relief to speak slowly enough for people to follow me. But I did start recovering and soon was almost as incomprehensible as before.

birdingnut replies on Apr 17, 2018:
@Amy0825 Sadly, I'm the same way and currently in danger of returning to my dangerous ex because as a male-minded female I can't seem to hold a grudge or have boundaries. My only protection is to avoid him. He keeps emailing me wanting us to get back together, and despite everything he did I seem willing to let it go. No normal cis hetero woman would put herself at risk this way.
When in my "female mode" I can dump and forget bad love interests at once, however (sigh).

@Renickulous I'm only a partial transmale..about 60% according to online gender identity tests. I didn't notice anything was wrong until puberty. Up to that point I ran around with the boys and was accepted by everyone as a default boy.
I was horrified at puberty to see my beautiful stick legs get fat lumps, and when my breasts started growing, I was mortified. I prayed desperately for god to restore my body, but got no answer.
Yes, transgender is part of LGBTQ community label..being the "T."

I was 16 years old and had been riding that horse since I was ten. It was homemade vanilla ice cream, and Lightning only got one scoop, apparently bought for him by one of the Haitian Bible school students, all friends of mine.
This was on our Haiti mission, and although Lightning was a stallion (he retained one testicle when gelded) I rode without a saddle or bridle because he read my thoughts. I didn't have to tie him up; he'd follow me like a dog and come to me when called.

@Peeves I understand completely..this is the common experience of transmales, many of whom don't realize what they are. In my case, I suffered so badly from gender dysphoria I couldn't look in the mirror and see a female face, or at old photos, as I was filled with horror and revulsion.
Hearing my feminine name brought a burst of rage from inside me, but I never knew why until a transwoman friend from high school outed me to myself. I stumbled across derris scandens, a Thai herb, that relieves dysphoria (and dyslexia!) and allows me live as masculine-ish androgyne woman.
