@scroogen:

I'm cocked

…Um?

American slang for drunk.  Get your mind out of the gutter, you dirty Aussie.

[bagley920]

I've never heard that used in that context before hmmmm

[DougNg]

Never heard of getting into a fight half cocked? When someone gets into a drunk brawl

[Chris]

I always thought going off half-cocked meant acting rashly, but apparently you're right, Doug.  Learn something new every day.

[Snowy]

I've never heard the expression "I'm Cocked", Half-Cocked on the other hand, totally, and per Chris, is a reference to loading of a gun. Urban Dictionary supports the use of "I'm Cocked" tho. I learnt my new thing today too!!!! :D.

Will XHS denim save my ass in a bush fire?  Or will I go up like a pack of fire crackers?

[scroogen]

They're made of cotton. If you're in enough fire to hurt you and not just messing around IH pants aren't going to save you.

[Qinhan]

^ Neither.  It's heavy cotton which isn't particularly flammable so you're not likely to explode like a firecracker.  Likewise, those few extra oz. might give you some minimal extra protection from radiant heat but it's hardly going to save your ass from bushfire temperatures, let alone flame.

[Mild7]

yeah okay.  I wasnt sure if cotton was a bad thing in a fire.  I know wool is good.. Plus i thought the extra oz my help with radiant heat only.  Of course if im on fire, or standing in actual flames im pretty much fkd.

[scroogen]

Right. You're probably not going to combust or anything. Just don't expect them to save your ass in a real fire

[Megatron1505]

Great question though.

Just as an aside, my mother is a volunteer firefighter and has been called out to put out several grass fires in recent weeks as temperatures have been soaring like crazy in Oz.

She's a tough old bird.

I was a volunteer fire fighter in high school. I had to do community service and found out, in Oklahoma, you can volunteer at 16. It was super fun. Got to do all sorts of crazy training and carry a radio around. Mainly did grass fires and meth labs.

[Mild7]

Meth labs.. Hehe
Actually there are bush fires in nearly all states here in Aus at the moment, and yesterday was a dicey one in my own area,.. Hence my question.

[Friday]

Anybody own them. Worth the money?

How's bud for anxiety? What strain would you recommend?

The worst thing you can do is smoke weed if you're anxious. Stay away from coffee as well.

[Guest]

I think that's a common misconception. There are numerous strains of the medicinal variety that are geared primarily towards alleviating stress and anxiety. Moderation is important, of course.

I do tend to agree with you concerning coffee. However, I am having a harder time quitting this substance than I did cigarettes, which deeply annoys and simultaneously confuses me.
