OldBroad
Greenlighter
Since the questions about my (potentially) having senility will most likely come first, I'm just gonna tackle that straight from the get go.
I wondered whether I had slipped a cog or not because I could swear that I had an account here. I tried for lost password, nope(email not recognized). Tried with the only other email it could have been, also not recognized.
After doing some reading I came to the realization that I was probably purged. Considering how long it had been since I logged in last (around 2009) I'm not surprised that my old profile got wiped.
Now that I've established that my brain still works, I guess it's time to introduce myself.
I'm a relatively old broad (I've already crossed the half century marker). Now, I know that others in my age bracket always say to me, "That's not that old." and they're right. For most 50s are not that old. But if you had lived at the breakneck pace I did for many many years, and you had a family history that has zero women in your family living past age 65, you might feel like I do. That I've already put too many miles on this chassis and I'm ready to cruise along at a slower pace these days.
I've been aware of Bluelight since around 2006. I did have an amount that I used to lurk and post with in the opiates section. Back then there was the SWIM-ing requirement, and it used to drive me crazy. I was bothered by talking about myself in the 3rd person because I had always felt that if I started referring to myself in the 3rd person, it was probably an indicator that I needed to talk to someone regarding my mental health.
Around that same time there was another site that came online and didn't require one to speak in the 3rd person. I ended up making that other site my home for several years until it was destroyed in 2015. I'm not gonna bring up that place by name, but I'm sure that if I said it's name indicated that one would be a lover or aficionado of opiates, you'd put 2+2 together and get 5. Which, considering how often we were looking through slow blinking eyelids, or having to close one eye while typing, would be a correct answer for that equation.
These days I'm an occasional dabbler. I've been trying to maintain as a chipper and have been doing reasonably well at it. Besides, I don't want to be dumping every dollar I have into maintaining a habit.
Since I'm not sure what else to throw out here to tell you more about who I am, I'll end off here. But, I will also say that anything you want to ask about me is fair game, as long as you're willing to accept that I might say, "that's a little too personal for me."
Hope everyone is well and I'm sure that my smart assed remarks will be noticed around here periodically.
