joey. 48 Hours to go

At this point I would like to interject a few unsolicited pointers based on experience. I am sure you will do fine
but you never have a second chance to make a good first date:

1. Don't use the coupons you have at the restaurant
Not tonight.
2. Pick up the tab. Yes ya big lug the whole thing
Believe me, it is worth it. Tonight you are "Mr. Vegas"
This is an investment not an expense.
3. Whatever she says or for however long she talks
just let her talk and nod your head. At the end of
the night she will say you have the most interesting
things to say even though you haven't spoken a word.
If she is as hot as you say nobody has listened to
a word she has said in 10 years. It will pay off.
4. Get rid of all the fast food wrappers in your car
and wash your car
5. Go to the bank and get fresh bills, put the crumpled
ones in your piggy bank. Wrap a $100 on the OUTSIDE
of your moneyclip
6. Keep several Altoids and a bottle of Clear Eyes closeby
7. Let her drink more than you

If things go south during the date, you have gypsys &
LJ's cells. They will bail you out. Call them from the Mensroom

Good luck

I think we now know what happened to Joey:

From Reuters...

Teenagers and young adults who frequently use cannabis are increasing their risk of suffering from psychotic symptoms such as bizarre behavior and delusions later in life, Dutch scientists said on Wednesday.

Young people with a family history, or pre-existing susceptibility to mental instability, are particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of the drug.

“Cannabis does not act in the same fashion on psychosis risk for everybody. There is a group that is particularly susceptible,” Professor Jim van Os, of Maastricht University in the Netherlands, told a news conference.

He and his colleagues studied 2,437 young people aged 14-24 and identified those with a predisposition for psychosis. They also questioned them about their cannabis use and followed them up for four years.

“The results show that in the group without vulnerability to psychosis, there was a small effect of cannabis on the onset of psychotic symptoms four years later,” Van Os said.

“But this risk was four times bigger in individuals who had a personal vulnerability to psychosis.”

Van Os said the study also showed the odds of experiencing symptoms of psychosis were higher for people who smoked cannabis more frequently.

The findings, which are reported online by the British Medical Journal, are consistent with the results of other studies.

Doctors do not understand how cannabis increases the risk of mental illness but they suspect it affects the dopamine system in the brain which is associated with pleasure.
