^ haha, on it with the missus but you'll be chatting on here - is the missus going to be there just to chop the lines, roll the joints and bring you cold cider when prompted? You have it good mate, well done.

You got it mate! Proper training is the key as with everything

 

[masaz]

It is. My missus was taught to roll joints by her useless cunt of a friend she's recently sacked off and I've spent the past two years trying to retrain her only for her to tell me they're fine and fuck off every time. However she'd always insist on rolling and I'd always smoke them and maybe offer helpful hints like 'it's side burning because you don't mix the weed and the tobacco for the fiftieth fucking time' but recently she's started saying 'you roll, mine are awful' and I can't tell if it's actual realisation or if she's trying to play me. I am objectively good at rolling though, and she is objectively...functional.

She can't really make tea either but she can make fucking good cocktails and is also really good at her job and being a good person in general, because now I feel weirdly sexist and like I'm reducing her to her desirable qualities even though I'm a woman and this is what taking modules in feminist theory does to you jesus christ I'm off for a spliff

Nah, I'm studying English! It's on witchcraft sceptics/critics in the late 1500s and their use of the dialogue form to persuade/alienate their audience. I wish I was doing art sometimes, be a lot more therapeutic I think but I do love getting all up in words and stuff. That said I'm having a spliff and beer break now, latent learning disorders and the internet have ruined my attention span.

English must be a good course to study though, if I could go back to Uni I think English is something I'd consider - witchcraft sceptics/critics in the late 1500s and their use of the dialogue form to persuade/alienate their audience - now that does sound interesting I must say!

I think she might be playing you there Snolly, it's a classic case of giving you a compliment for her own gain (there is probably a psychology term for it, but I can't remember or don't know it). The gain being that you roll the joints from now on because you perceive yours to be superior (which you did anyway), but she has subtly complimented you on your joint making skills which reinforces your belief that yours are superior; therefore, you are happy to keep rolling them, do all of the work, while she reaps the benefit of enjoying a spliff without ever having to actually roll.

'You roll a joint, you're the best at it, baby...' *snigger*
'Okay I am and I will.'

 

[Chatative]

Well I never...

Who would have thought closing gibberings & opening a replacement would have spurred on so much conversation. Almost 1/4 full in under 24 hours... blimey.

Hope all are well anyway, I certainly would be good if not for that blasted alarm that is still going off as per the angry thread....

 

[Don Luigi]

Pretty good talk on various types of injuries sustained in high speed bike mishaps, given by a now sadly deceased motorcycle doctor.

I'm in Northern Ireland and have a few friends as nurses at our local hospital who have seen terrible things due to road racing. The North West 200 road race here is a massive international draw every year. Part of the course goes through my town. Some truly disturbing injuries and many deaths. We lose young riders and many more get injured. For anybody really into their bikes, I'd definitely recommend coming over for this event. You will, more than likely, see a few accidents at some of the notorious blackspots though

Very interesting video, by the way!

After 7 years my nurse still can't make my tea properly. It's almost enough to make me go all Mad Man and hit the whiskey cabinet in my office

 

[KingOfWessex]

Phet ingested, cider flowing starting to feel the familiar feel of peace and tranquility! sweet. its gonna be a good night. hope your all doing swell!!!

 

[spacejunk]

I work in a surgical orthopaedic ward in a major hospital. So a lot of trauma cases from car and motor bike accidents, oldies getting hip replacements etc. Its really interesting work. I see a lot of gnarly injuries thats for sure.

Ah yeah, plenty of gore!
My girlfriend is an ED nurse, so i hear some pretty wild tales.
Tough work - much respect

hahaha yeah it's really lovely to see the place busy. I love EADD when ppl are chatting n stuff! I hope yr doing ok, Chatty? Not seen you around these parts lately. All well? How's modding Mental Health going? I see some threads from that section when I'm looking through 'Todays Posts' n there seems to be some interesting threads goimg where ppl are supportive.

Are we having this thread changed into Gibz then? Or merged with theother thread or kept as it is?

I hope Sqidy got home safely. Right! Wrapping before the lil' heathen is home hehehe

[SquidInSunglasses]

Safely made it back home, not quite crashed yet, but I can feel it coming. Come-down is still so gentle though, even from a good 14 or 15 hour binge. Just sliding into tiredness now. Words aren't flowing like they were, but really that's not so bad, I wouldn't want to be craving social interaction like I do while high all the time. Got to have some quiet times in life after all.

 

[Shambles]

My girlfriend is an ED nurse, so i hear some pretty wild tales.

An Erectile Dysfunction nurse?!? I thought they only existed in jazz mags and Benny Hill shows

I wanted to do ED when i finished my degree but i took a new grad position here and have been here ever since. I did a placement in 3rd year at uni in a major hospitals ED and it was really interesting but totaly hectic. ED nurses are amazing. Such a tough job. You need to have a great and wide knowledge of nursing skills to be a good ED nurse. Maybe one day i will make the change to ED but for now i am really happy where i am.

I once assisted an orthopaedic surgeon during an amputation of a leg and was horrified at how brutal it was. It wasn't a lot different to dissecting a roast chicken. It always ran through my mind each time I had to have surgery on my knees and shoulders

 

[Sprout]

I have knee surgery every 2-5 years and now that image will stick in my head.

Brutal would sum it up. Especially amputations. I could not do that for a job (surgeon)

 

[Eveleivibe]

Evening ppl how goes it? This 3-pfm has had me all mellow n I've hardly dosed cause been nusy n stuff. It's good being nusy as the devil makes work for idle thumbs hahaha And I know God is looking after me right now. Enough of that lol will catch up with thread, not had a minute.

How's everyome? Had my nails done n it was a good distraction to get out of the house. I had green n red alternating nails with black tiger print. My goodness using this iPhone is difficult so will have to be my iPad or lappy but wifi never works on lappy. Need to get it looked at n another keyboard inserted as it's a real pain having to use an extra keyboard as well as a mouse, which I don't mind as I hate the inserted mouse that lappys have lol.

Sprouty you feeling ok? You know I'm always here for you n though you're going through stuff you seem to make time for others. That's a good trait you have, never lose it but take care of you also ok? You're important

Squidy I'm not sure if I had a come down I was extremely exhausted to the point I was nodding like with opies n I was irritable but that's kinda normal. I'm sorry if anyone got the brunt of that here when I was arguing about taking various substances but I stayed away from here Monday as I was that angry I would jave been infracted n I wouldnt have blamed mods one bit lol so I stayed away until I was a little calmer. I love this love this place n it don't need Evetrums (was it swampy who came up with that word? hahaha)

Love yahz <4

Yeah they work long hours too n are extremely hard-working. When I was in hospital this summer there was nurses finishing a 12-hour night shift, had to continue until 11 am as staff had not turned up n they were waiting for relief start to come help. They were busy. I was in medical admissions unit which IS OBVIOUSLY busy but I can imagine tbe nurses in other depts working hard n long too. In my opinion I feel its wrong on both nurses n patients because if they're overtired there may be an accident. I tried not asking them for owt if I could help it as they were busy n it wouldn't be fair on them

I'm not crashing super hard but since I was basically only eating it I'm not surprised it tapers out like that, even after a 14 hour session. Sort of stuck between super tiredness and residual stimulation from the 3-FPM. Wouldn't be surprised if the sleep pattern problems from sertraline is affecting it too, as this would be awake time for me normally so who knows. It shakes out to vaguely stapled eyes, tiredness slowly gaining on me, and my brain fading into fog. Not awful, but I'm not really appreciating the slow and steady character of oral 3-FPM so much at the moment, it feels like that's biting back and dragging the comedown out now. Personally I'd appreciate if it just reached the end, and did a full stop full on cartoon style, nailed you right between the eyes, and was gone in a few hours instead of this slippery sort of come-down, sort of stretching out of the last vestiges of the high fuzz I have at the moment.

i was disappointed and not a little annoyed to have to have closed the gibberings thread yesterday. there were a number of mean-spirited and inflammatory posts disrupting the thread and in the absence of any eadd staff online at the time, i closed the thread to try to deescalate things.

let me address the facts surrounding the incident that precipiated yesterday's derailing of the gibberings thread.

the blua makes it abundantly clear that use of bl as a channel for the sourcing or supply of drugs is strictly forbidden. unfortunately, we're largely powerless when it comes to private communication on the site as nobody in the bl staff hierarchy has access to bluelighter pms so the only cases where we've been able to take action based on definitive proof of sourcing or supply have been cases where users have reported the transactional pms in question, often in cases where the perpetrators have accidentally reported themselves.

yesterday's allegation was that evey used bl as the medium for the supply of drugs to another bluelighter. while we now know that drugs did change hands, the transaction and the associated communication - to the best of our knowledge- took place off-site. regardless of how much animosity some of you feel for the individual(s) in question, we can not, have never and should not be policing acts which take place off of bluelight. to suggest otherwise is impractical and imappropriate.

there were further allegations that the user in question is receiving lenient treatment because of donations to the site and that she is receiving special treatment because of favouritism on the part of eadd staff. i'll address these points separately:

lenient/special treatment and fair/consistent treatment are not the same thing but they are being conflated by a vocal lynch-mob of bluelighters who simply do not like evey and have made it clear that they're trying through various means to remove or force her from bluelight. there have been two cases in the recent past where evey was banned from bluelight 'permanently' only to be reinstated after the circumstances of her bans were reviewed. i'll remind everybody that both the bans and the subsequent reinstatements were by members of the bl admin. team and, while like any staff they were free to give an opinion, the eadd staff were not involved in the final decision. we took the decision to reverse those bans because they circumvented the regular bluelight discipline procedure and we felt that was inappropriate. if you want to be annoyed at somebody for overturning evey's permanent ban twice, be annoyed with me.

in terms of quid pro quo for donations, that's simply a case of erroneous assumption. donations are anonymous - nobody in the bl staff hierarchy has access to donation names, emails or amounts. only the bl owners (s_g and tlb) know who's donated to the site and how much. if those of you who believe that there is a quid pro quo arrangement in place for donations, then you're essentially calling the site owners and myself liars. i believe i can live with the disappointment.

i've been a bluelighter for over 13 years and a staffer for much of that time. i've seen - and personally been on the receiving end of - some of the most vitriolic, hateful bile imaginable on the site. some of the comments i saw yesterday were up there in terms of mean-spirited abuse. singling out individuals for abuse on bluelight, cowardly posting abusive comments from the safety of the anon forum and crudely mimicking bluelighters on other sites (e.g. reddit) in an attempt to smear them here are unacceptable. they waste staff time and distract everybody from the core mission of the site.

if you have an issue with a user on this site and you believe they are posting content which is problematic, report their posts and let the forum staff do their jobs. if you're not satisfied with the actions a forum staffer has (or has not) taken, escalate your concerns to the senior moderators who oversee the forum. if you're still not satisfied, escalate again to a member of the admin team. at any point in the process, if you'd like to have the conversation publicly, start a thread in support.

if you have an issue with a user on the site that you simply can not get past, put that user on ignore and move on. when you choose to engage in the public forum, and when you do it using insults and abuse, you are simply no better than the person you're criticising.

i'm happy to answer questions (here or in a pm) but i'm not going to dissect what happened yesterday minutely. i've spent (wasted?) too much time on this already and i'm confident in my finding that bl was not used as a channel here.

if you disagree with that finding, i'll agree to disagree. if you're disappointed by my actions here, i'll find a way to live with your disappointment.

i see comments that eadd has 'gone to shit'. well, if you feel this to be true ask yourself what you're doing to make it better? and if the answer to that is the clusterfuck that erupted in eadd yesterday, then i'm sorry but you're not helping. you're making things worse. if you think that the quality of posts in eadd has dropped, post more quality posts. in short, be the change you wish to see in the forum. if you're unable or unwilling to do that, but content to sit on the sidelines and hurl abuse, i'd advise a look in the mirror because you are, in my humble opinion, part of the problem.
