i’m praying for the day they legalize marijuana. i hope it is sooner rather than later. it would help in so many ways that a lot of people might not realize.

Smoking weed in and of its self is a victimless crime, i have never heard of any one wrecking there car because they smoked pot, or robbing some one for weed money . But a 59 year old man trading a gun for pot to a 16 year old kid is pretty dumb. i know what the man was going to do with the pot , but what was the kid going to do with the gun, i dont know this kid but its pretty scary that he thought he needed one.

K thanks william I will see if I can correct that.

David now your teaching me something. Thank you
I will see about a word processing program for my lap top.
I presume it isn’t built in.
I hate typos and I do know how to spell sheriff but I type
about 100 words a minute and have parkinson so when
I hit a word that has double letters in it my mind goes one way
and my fingers go another and they shake so they double click.
I tend to type too many doubles all the way through the words.
So anyway that should be a huge help. Thanks a heap.

“let it count your words for you (that’s why my comments are always so short) ”

The 300 words is not an exact number, but there is a number at which the system automatically just dumps the comment. It allows a little leeway.

A good rule would be if you look at your comment and it’s *way* longer than the others you see on NE, it’s probably too long. In the case of the one mentioned below, it was about 500 words with lots of returns creating empty lines. It began to look a long poem.

It helps if you type what you want to say on a word processor program, let it count your words for you (that’s why my comments are always so short) and let it check your spelling while it’s at it so you can say what you mean to say. I don’t always do it and it shows, but it helps when I do–makes me look smarter than I am.
