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? never happen. Never does. Bertie |

wrote: 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). 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??? Funny you left out the part about my using norco (hydrocodone) for legitimate pain, more specifically a ruptured disk in my lumbar spine. I do not use it recreationally although I do enjoy the high the opiate gives. I live in nearly constant moderate to severe pain as any here with this condition will testify. I have norco under prescription and recently had the opportunity to use methadone which is sometimes prescribed for patients in severe pain. Albeit the methadone was going to be obtained illegally, I was rather desperate for relief. I went to the drugs group to get an idea of the methadone experience, well aware that hard drug users could offer first-hand experience for someone like me. I know methadone to be a powerful & dangerous drug so I wanted advice & experience. Because of that advice, and due to the fact that I don't want to obtain the stuff illegally, I decided not to buy it or do it. Without going into a lot of needless detail, it is a fact that opiates are one of few drugs that in their pure form cause little physical harm to the human body. They also do not retard ones abilities to think or act critically. The comment about opiates improving work performance is, in fact, highly accurate, though presently I would never jepordize my career by being under the influence of any drug in the workplace or on the job. Yes, I am a former drug addict who has been technically clean for several years. My norco stays in the hands of a trusted non-user friend who dispenses to me as prescribed and as needed. I do not want to ever go back into the nightmare of addiction, especially with a new path in my aviation career about to open in front of me. Please forgive this lurker for the rudeness and cursing at F. Baum last night. I thought his insensitivity was over-the-top to Jay, I got ****ed off and lost my cool. I have lurked here many years and posted ocassionally under different I.D.s. I am not one of Jay's housekeepers. I make a comfortable living as a senior instructor & staff member of a well-known part 141 school. I also am an A&P who will soon earn my IA and be moving on to a very different arena in aviation, one with far less physical work and much higher pay. Gotta love that, George |

Presently I take 1-2 every few days so my tolerance should be just fine when you're my nurse after my auto accident. Whatever the doc orders you to give me for pain will work just fine since I'm clean and have been for a few years now, excepting the prescribed norco (which isn't even in this ex-addicts hands, a friend keeps it for me). My "**** poor planning" has caused me to decide against doing illegal methadone & any other drugs for that matter. Mortimer Schnerd, RN mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com |

wrote in : How could you not know about flying while growing up? It's not that I didn't know about flying -- I think many kids are enamored with the notion of being in the sky. I was, too, from the very first time I flew on a Boing 707, in 1962. But that's a whole different thing than knowing how to get from "Boy, is that cool" to "Boy, I could *do* that!" There are those persons who believe the skills required to safely pilot an aircraft may exceed their natural abilities, and that keeps them from pursuing an airmans certificate. That is why the introductory flight is so important. Unfortunately, there is a chicken/egg situation, where one must believe that they have the requisite native ability before they take a demo flight, but that belief is not possible, because they don't have know how much talent is actually required. |

Yep. The bottom line is that kids can't know what they don't know. It's up to us to show them the way. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

The guy abuses this list. Go back and take a look where JH has
"Jumped" on me. I'm sorry if I've ever hurt your feelings here. The only harsh words I've ever written here have been in response to what I perceived to be personal attacks, either on myself or others. Off-topic posts don't bother me -- they're easily ignored. Foul language, while unnecessary, doesn't bother me. Stupid questions don't bother me, either. But personal attacks on other posters, combined with mindless, repetitive, single-word responses (as in Bertie's all-to-familar "****wit!") are simply not worth the bandwidth. Worse, they make all pilots look bad to any newbies who may be lurking here. Until recently your contributions here have been well-done and valuable, and I truly don't understand your new-found need to personally attack me, or Jim, or anyone else here. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

It looks like it's run by a pilot:
The biggest downside I see is that it has a similar user interface as does the BMW LT forum and one or two others I visit now and then. *I find the interface a pain to use as compared to good old usenet. *I found after a couple of weeks I visited the BMW forum less and less whereas I've used usenet for probably 20 years now and haven't tired of it yet and the interface is inherently simple to use and most newsreaders don't add unnecessary complication. Agree. I belong to several aviation forums, and they all try to "improve" upon the format of Usenet by adding lots of whiz-bang features. (Avatars, buddy lists, etc.) Unfortunately, all of this stuff just gobs up the works, and makes the real fun of posting and reading posts more of a chore. Ease of use is what keeps Usenet popular in the face of many other options. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
