As those of you riveted by the minutiae of my life will recall, I’ve always been self-employed, which means the working week was seven days long, including New Year’s Day, Christmas Day, and every day in between. The pursuit of perfection, alas, is endless.
There were few weekends that didn’t find me in the office, but one exception was my birthday in 1992, when my beau and I decided to head to London for a rave, our ecstasy pills clutched in our hot little fists.
We always purchased from a reputable source and carried our E with us, rather than buying them in a club where you never know what you're getting. This was in days of yore before humanity took leave of its senses, and one could board an aeroplane without first being required to remove one's clothing and submit to a cavity search.

We stayed at the Park Tower Hotel in Knightsbridge, because money's no object when it comes to my comfort.
On Friday evening, we took the E ready to dance the night away and the next thing we knew, we woke up in bed, fully clothed. Had we even made it out? Apparently not. We’d fallen asleep. Wow, we thought, how tired we must have been.
Fast-forward to Saturday night: same pills, same plan, same result. We woke up on Sunday morning just in time to catch our flight home.
Turned out our ecstasy pills were some sort of tranquilliser that knocked us out cold for twelve hours at a time.
What could we do but laugh?

prompt asking 'Tell us about the funniest weekend you've experienced.
The images are mine
Well at the very least the pills literally took you to another realm...one with a lot less consciousness...lol
Yes, unconsciousness!:)
That was a very amusing story. Certainly not the weekend you had planned! Perhaps those pills kept you out of unknown trouble.
I'm fortunate they didn't get me into unknown trouble. The folly of youth!
Quite true!
WTF...
Now that is some sketchy shizzit right there...
Now days it's Fentanyl and you don't wake up.
And the drug pushers wear white coats...
Juss Sayin'
Don't worry. I've never taken an legal drugs. Those things are dangerous:)
The "legal" Big pHarmaceuticals have killed and destroyed several of my friends and relatives. Your suffering side effects?? Well they have a pill for that too...
Sorry to hear that. I've lost a couple of friends to the covid jab,
I stay away from all that nonsense. I haven't been near a doctor for over thirty years and that's why I'm fit as a flea!
Are Fleas really all that healthy..?
Asking for a friend.
My Friend --->
Tell your flea-ridden friend 🤣 that fleas can jump distances of up to 50 times their body length. I'd call that pretty fit!
Ain't no bugs on any of us mugs and there ain't no fleas on me.!!
Samantha Jo Agrees...
Dem damn fleas she says.!!
You got a couple of nights of deep and restful sleep, and a good belly laugh or two. Sounds like a great weekend to me. As always, you've told a great story in very few words. I never hesitate to read your posts. They are like getting candy in the mail. OK wait that's not a great simile because I don't eat candy. Your posts are like getting gold in the mail.
Thank you, thank you. If there's one thing my father taught me it's brevity. He used to give us audience for 10 seconds and insist we state our case without using the word can't. I've always found it quite a useful skill. These days people's eyes glaze over after listening to you for about 11 seconds.
I try to state my cases without using the word should, but I learned that skill as an adult. My father gave his five kids or wife no audience at all. We were taught to agree with him in all things.
Dammit, he sounds worse than mine!
Possibly, also a drinker, although he was and still is very highly regarded in this town, got elected for this and that his whole life. A street angel home devil type. It was quite confusing to be his daughter. When I married someone quite a lot like him, I finally was able to figure out why I had been so confused.
I joined the vigilante insiders club a few days ago. I am technologically deficient and have to improve those skills and devices before I can participate, but I am confident being a member of such an exclusive club will be of some use. You?
He sounds like a carbon copy of mine, chairman of this, treasurer of that. 'Your father is a great man' people would tell me while he battered ten bells out of my mother.
My brother is a member of the insiders club. He's the trader around here. I'll ask him for a review.
Oh my gosh that is fabulous, thanks! I am, so far, very low level. I've been worried I'll be a laughingstock in vic. Ask him what happens to fresh baby meat there.
Well, they did work, just not as intended. :)) Talk about a lost weekend.
As for those body searches and plane travel. It saddens me to say that I probably will never board a plane again. Just too much trouble. If I can't get there by car or train, I'm not going.
I used to fly quite a bit in the 1980s and early 90s and at that time they'd wave a metal detector over your luggage at the entrance to the terminal and then allow you to go on your way otherwise unmolested. The good old days.

Welcome to Hive? I have been here since 2017!! I do not have, nor have I ever had any social media accounts other than Steemit/Hive. The best I could do is try to locate a post on one of the Steemit meetups I attended back in the day, or the feature Freewrite House did on me about 7 years ago.
Hello.
Could you please direct me to that post?
Thanks
Sure. Here it is.

Ok, thanks. I see the photo there.
I have verified it.
Ok. Thanks.
