Passed by this site a few times in my wanderings.  Looks like a great site.  I used to participate in these type fora from 2001 until shortly after the Ryan Haight Act of 2008.  Anyone remember the NROPs and ROPs?  Things have changed for sure.  I still occasionally use 1 online and 2 email places as I need to.  I am fortunate, now that I am getting a bit older, to have a doctor who will script me what is needed now and then.  I found that keeping a primary doctor over time is a smart thing for many reasons.  I don't have the time to post a lot anymore--taking care of business comes first, it's a rotten economy still.

Anyway, I am glad to have found this place.  I will come back to visit now and then.  Don't know how much I can contribute, but will try when I think it appropriate.  Sadly, the drug war continues, and continues to devastate so many.  I do feel sorry for doctors nowadays.

Keep up the good work.

 
Hi PB,

Sounds like your Memory Lane has landmarks very similar to some along my own twisting trail! But if you also recall those "helpful" forums that sprang up around the old O P s, stuffed to the gills with misinformation and flaming invective, you'll find this place wonderfully refreshing: civilized adults engaged in interesting conversations, moderated in an even-handed, even-tempered manner. Not only did I find all the information I initially sought (and much more), I've had a lot of fun, too. Didn't see that coming. So even though you're pressed for time, keep reading! It will be well worth your while.

You are indeed lucky to have a primary physician willing to do right by you, even if only occasionally. I too have some sympathy for doctors; the govt. can apply a great deal of pressure, and I'm sure many are frightened. But I can't help wonder what would've happened if, long ago, the medical community had rallied and, as a group, made clear their refusal to practice medicine under any but their own guidelines? Something along the lines of American librarians who refused to turn over patrons' reading lists to various govt. agencies demanding them. I believe that occurred shortly after the Patriot Act (Part 1) was made law. As I recall, the librarians didn't cave, and the govt. backed off -- right? Hmmm -- maybe I better go to the library myself and make sure my facts are straight! To be continued...

Meanwhile -- welcome pharmboy -- great name, BTW!  /default_smile.png

 
Thanks guys and gals.  Yes, I am fortunate to have a good doctor and PA.  I still try not to ask for too much from them.  But they will script 60 10mg Nordicoes with a refill when I have a flareup and I do not have anything around.  And as I start into my late 30s (JK, actually early 60s) there are other reasons to have a good primary--especially now with all the confusion, I am staying with them.  Up to about 5 or 6 years ago I would just go to the walkin clinics.  I mean my reasons are legit but I still felt like I was "pulling something" on them. 

Sounds like we have been down similar memory lanes blueroan 17.  I was a member of the "big boy" at the time, but didn't post much there.  I mainly participated on, what I would guess was the 2nd largest forum and a couple of others--all long since deceased.  Even took a turn at moderating for about a year or so.  Talk about a thankless job.  But it was interesting too.  Never a dull moment.

Again, thanks to all and be well.

  10. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  11. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  12. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  14. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  15. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  16. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  17. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state
