Bluelight
im sure your mention of play by play updates on lyrica was directed at me. no offense taken.
It was - primarily, although not exclusively by any means. And I'm glad you're not taking offense, because there was no offense meant to be taken. Pregabalin is, as we've all come to understand in our own unique terms, a wonderful compound that is wildly deserving of such extensive conversation; however, I feel that we need mention how much we adore it but once each, for the sake of brevity
The rest of your contributions have been wonderful and thought-provoking, and I
really appreciate that link to drugs-forum.com; its chock-full of good things to look into. I've only just begun now, in fact! So thank you, primarily for your otherwise-contributions, but also for not rashly hating me because I may have challenged an ego here or there

i dont really give a shit about the other threads on BL. i can only answer questions about how long to take oxy after sub so many times. its just the same stuff over and over.
Man, I used to feel
just the same. As a matter of fact, that very same "boredness" you've just described drove me away from BL entirely for about a year in 2006. However, once you begin to look at Bluelight as a global community, offering forums for *everything* under the goddamned sun, you may begin to appreciate it in different ways. For instance, I knew I cared about my physiological health (that is, my appetite, exercise [to a certain extent], vitamins, meditation) but I never really took time to explore the "Healthy Living" forum; I
knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was interested in exploring sex and issues related to committed relationships, but never wholeheartedly looked into the SLR forum. I've -always- loved debating philosophy - from Plato to BP's integrity (
) - and never managed to dive into the Philosophy and Spirituality forums. But once I integrated my BL experience to include more than just that which initially attracted me to the website - that is, drugs - I saw some of the same names I enjoyed hearing from in the drugs forums pop up in the spirituality forums, and some in the health forums; some in the writing forums, and some in the ones dedicated to politics. And then the whole Bluelight paradigm made sense; it's a
community, with opportunities for me to challenge and be challenged at every click of a hyperlink. Back then, online forums weren't as prevalent as they are today, but Bluelight
still tops every one I have ever been a member of regarding any subject, because it has it all.
The point of this rambling nonsensical blather? To try and allow another to see this place, these people behind the alphanumeric handles, as something more than a one-stop-shop for clear-cut drug information and nothing more. Even though I may be active in a posting sense much moreso in Other Drugs than I am in SLR, I gain a great deal of knowledge, respect and wisdom from other people simply by viewing and following the variety of discussions, topics and otherwise raunchy material that's bound to cross a drug user's life - although not necessarily over a glass mirror with a razor blade in hand.
...I've been here for seven years of my life.
There's a reason for that...
