Almost a rookie again.

[Mangee]

It's been a while since I was here, it feels like I am a newbie. I have been on and off of the other forum getting used to some of the people there. I have noticed a lack of the old guard on both these sites. It's almost as if they were swooped up by a ufo. The disappearances were so fast I kept looking out the window to see if aliens had landed. Other than my brother-in-law I saw nothing nefarious out there.Guess it's my imagination working overtime. This reminds me of ," The War Of The Worlds," by Orson Wells in the 1930s. I became so frightened I hid under the kithchen table and refused to come out. It sounded like  news broadcast and was so real that some people actually jumped of buildings. Anyway I didn't catch sight of any little green men so I guess it wasn't them that emptied out this site of many of the oldies. Sop, here I am, looking over my shoulder now and then just to be safer than sorry. I don't have a weapon in case it becomes real so I guess I will just have to defend myself with the blades from my  mixmaster. If I can"t shoot them I can always stir them to death. This is just my way of introducing myself to the newbies and reintroducing myself to the ones that were here with me before. I just saw a flash at my window. It might just be the glare af a car's headlighs but I take no chances. I will crawl to the window and peek over the windowsill, carefully of course, because you never know what evil lurks outside.

I lurk occasionally but not as often.....I agree with Grievingwidow....Change is inevitable but not always good....I like the old format much better.  Glad to see you both doing well!  I miss so many people that used to be here but I guess people find it there time to leave.

I'm doing well too...just very busy with life (as we all are!)
Take care guys....and be well!
Peace!

It is good to see a name that I know.  I agree with you, all the others seem to have gone or either with this new forum it is not as easy for us to spot them.  I have stopped posting ever since we lost the old format, I just cannot get used to reading or posting in it.  This is probably like the third time I have posted in all since the change.  I really wish Medhelp would take us back - everyone always thinks they have to change something just for change sake.  

It is great to see that you are doing so well.  Take care.

Love, Cindy

I have been free of oxy since last March. I walked away,CT  around January 21 and never looked back. Fortunately my addiction lasted only about a month. It was prescribed by my doctor who forgot to tell me that I would be addicted within a few days. Since then I have had a connection to all of you, something that I never had before. I at one time looked down my nose at all of you but my experience with oxy woke me up to all the trials and travails that everyone here was going through. Since that day I have read and learned much. Never again will I look askance at anyone with a problem. It's the old saying,"Don't judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes." I walked that mile and learned much. I apologized for my ignorance and decided then that I would help as much as possible here and now also on the other forum. If it takes a joke or two, support, answering a question or just being here when needed,to bring a little peace to someone's mind then I will do my best. In the meantime I have a saying that I keep using. It is "Keep the faith." What this means is don't lose faith in yourself, keep it close and keep it strong.

Longtime no see. Some of the oldtimers lurk but don't post often. Others are just gone :-(
Let me know if you find the mothership and our missing members. I, myself, am trying to make it a point to get over to the otherside on occassion.
How goes your recovery?

Mangee, I just posted on the other side to your post. I am glad to see you again. Wow 5 months clean is so good. I'm just a small 53 days. I'm still too new to start counting in months...But soon I will.

1234, What? A nurse with a preference! Let it not be so. LOL

i think some are logging onto the motherboard of the ships to see what is going on, not necessarily posting. i think most are just trying to get used to the new forum. after today, i am having adjustment problems of my own. i am glad to see you post on this side however. i would always read on the other side just never post. i really don't know why.
