Jay, ask the moderators if they will put up with 50 to 60 threads on
the same subject. See if they will endure endless OT discusion. Check
on their tolerance of profanities.

A lack of omniscience is not synonymous with thick-headedness. We only know
about things to which we are exposed. There are many wonderful things in the
world (and equally many not-so-wonderful things) that we never learn about
simply because they are never brought to our attention.

If aviation were actively promoted to everyone, there would be far more pilots
in the world. However, the huge economic and bureaucratic obstacles to
piloting would still limit the numbers. You would never see aircraft and
pilots as common as cars, unless they were just as cheap and easy to drive.

sandwhiches, period.

Happy New Year to you also!


It must suck to be you.


With all the partying I did last nite, right now it does in fact "Suck
to be me".


Maybe you should come on over to alt.drugs.hard, then? Many consider
the drugs you, and millions of others did last night, to indeed be
pretty "hard." BTW the drugs I used to do have almost no "sucks to be
me" type of after-effects (aka hangover).

My guess is they won't let you join so no need for Jay to check on this
for you. *:-)

Matt

Matt, I wouldnt join a group that would have me as a member
Actually, I checked that group out and I know one of the guys that
moderates the airline forum. I only have the time and energy for one
list and this is it. The only reason I come here is to keep up with
what is going on with GA . I do alot of GA flying, but I dont read any
of the GA magazines. I appreciate some of the links and the insights
from other GA pilots. Id be happy just to lurk here but I got caught
up in the circus atmosphere.
Jay OTOH stikes me as one of these people who has to validate himself
by constantly parading his aviation exploits in front of everyone. He
is the kind of guy who needs lists like these. Look at the way he
theatens to leave but doesnt. I feel sorry for him.

Used to do? Only two weeks ago you wrote:

I've been doing 30-40mg Norco (brand name) at a time on & off for a
few days (once or twice a day) & I suddenly have access to some 10mg
Methadone.
Is $5 a piece a fair price?
I have never done Methadone before. Should I do 10mg or 20mg or more?
I would describe my tolerance as low to medium right now b/c of the
Norco I've been doing for about a week.
I have heard some good things about Methadone and also have heard that
it can be dangerous, hence my asking before doing.
What can I expect? A high similar to the Norco at 10-40mg Methadone?
Or stronger?
Approx. how long will it last? I've heard it can last many hours.
What are the drowsiness effects as I will be going to work after
taking it (maybe).


And going to work high sounds like a longterm habit, since you also wrote:

Oh - and let me add that several years ago I was shooting (IM, not IV)
morphine sulphate obtained out of PCA vials at the hospital I worked
at. I'm trying to remember the mg per ml on the bottles....I'll just
take a guess, 5mg per ml? That sounds about right BUT could be way off
as that was years ago.
Anyway, I used to IM about 10 - 15 ml of the stuff, sometimes approx.
daily. I started out drinking it (yuck, but it becomes an attractive
taste) but ended up IMing with the limitless availability of brand new
needles.


So, stealing opiates, shooting them, now doing hydrocodone
recreationally, looking to move up to methadone, and planning to work
under the influence...have you considered working in talk radio???

BWAHAHAHA! I work in orthopedics and can't wait until I get this guy after an
automobile accident. Due to his **** poor planning, nothing on this planet is
going to relieve his pain. Nothing.

He's already had his fun.

Nothing. That is the mark of a real troll, like bertie. Jump, and keep
jumping on every post from someone you have a hard-on for.

My advise is to use your kill file, and don't look back. The fewer replies,
the better...

Isn't it time for everyone to develop some self discipline? How about
making that our combined new year's resolution?

What say ye all?
