I never was a pot-girl. I always preferred booze. Still do. Cocktails have cool names and come in pretty colors and sometimes have little paper umbrellas in them! Ever see a paper umbrella sticking out of a spliff? I doubt it. I’ve never smoked tobacco, either, so back in the day (aka “College: The Early Years”) it just made logical sense to smoke nothing at all, so I never picked it up. I have always considered myself lucky to have a non-addictive personality.
Some aren’t so lucky.
sidenote: looking back at this footage (taken in a hotel room last week in Hudson, NY on our Great American House Search From Hell) I’m amazed that I had no reaction to My fiancee’s decision to reach into the toilet and splash around. No squealing, no “eeeeeeeeeewww!!!”, no nothing. Should I be concerned that I am so accepting of his personality quirks that his reaching into a hotel toilet seems to be such a typical Brian manoeuvre that I don’t give it a second thought? Is that gross, or is that love?

You’re such a SWEETIE!!! Thank you.
and girl..he touched the toilet handle. Did you wipe off the handle?? Please tell me you did.
(this doesn’t stem just from my new nursing school status…I graduated dental school 10 years ago….been a germaphobe ever since.)

From what I’m told, some potsmokers who quit are cranky. Anyhow I’m told they get a new awareness, somewhat clearer view of reality. That’s great and I hope he takes care of his health.

When I read the post I thought maybe the “substance” came from the back of the toilet bowl you know where the clean water sits and waits. I thought it isn’t so bad to splash that around. But then I watched and yeah, reaching in the dirty side, that is kinda gross. But I guess love does look past some things like that. Did he wash his hands after? That would have been a good decision. Congrats on flushing the stuff too. It is hard to do things like that sometimes. I know quitting smoking cigarrettes was like that for me.

Your videos are some of the most interesting and poignant I see. Their honesty makes the humor very funny and the sad ones very strong.

Wow, that took guts! Good show, Brian. I’m fifteen days now without a cigarette (after 27 years) and I’m dying for nicotine but you’ve given me inspiration.

Splashing around in the toilet- Oh, I don’t want to think about it *LOL*… I was never a pot girl either, but I made good friends with Phillip Morris, that’s something I definitely SHOULD’NT have done!

What a great ‘slice of life’ video.
This moment will be forever immortalized on the Internet. One day you’ll be able to show your grandkids the time that grandpa flushed his stash and got the monkey off his back!

I have to say, that toilet did look pretty clean. And I am a bit germphobic too. Not a pot gal either, but I did smoke the regular cigarettes, much to my regret.
Smoke free 7 weeks today! (Even better, I had to look that up.)
