Hi

I dont want to sound cynical, but really it sounds to me like leaving the marijuana addiction should be a bigger priority than trying to mend you relationship. I am not trying to downplay the importance of a relationship which is obviously so important to you but I think this is just 1 manifestation of how things can go wrong when one is high/stoned all the time. Work on kicking the addiction (easier said than done) and lot of things incnluding your relationship with her will improve I am sure

glad to see everything is going to work out for you and your girl.

however i must say this ... from all the details about yourself that you put into your update, you honestly sound like a huge loser.

but again, hopefully it works out for you and your girl for the best, good luck.

"good luck, bro!"

although my support may mean nothing.
kicking anything is hard...but the vast majority of anandtech seems to be behind you.

Pretty dumb to post that
I grew marijuana. Yes, it's shocking I know. But you heard me. Some of the best god damn pot in Portland

on a message board where your profile has your personal info.

I'd clear out the evidence quick, because a law abiding citizen would report this to the Portland police, http://www.portlandonline.com/police/index.cfm?c=29708

Only an asshole piece of sh!t would report him. Definitely a possibility here though.

Haha, you got that right!

I agree and like I said, I'm sorry it took what it did to make me realize this.

Maybe, but at least I'm a loser that can admit his wrongs.

lol.....

I've always had a green thumb. And quite frankly I had wanted to try my hand at growing marijuana for a while, because I love botany so much and I'm so good at growing just about everything else. It was a natural extension.

I guess I should've said that I grew flowers and sold them at a stand on the roadside. Yeah, because that's sooo much different. :roll::p

I'm not here to defend myself, so think whatever you want about me. I'm still the same Eli that you knew before you learned a few details about my personal life.

If I've admitted my wrong, who are you to judge?

I am glad that chapter of my life is over, though.

:)

just read the update, you won't change, and even if you do, is that the person your gf fall in love with in the first place?

I wasn't aware of the 9/6/2005 update.

Nice to see that you two are communicating and hopefully mending your relationship.

Also kudo's to you for quitting pot, hopefully it's for good.
