Newbie intro

@Jools I wish I could take credit its from the Rolling Stones song, "Salt of the Earth" Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote it. Every time I read stories about war I always think of that song, about saying a prayer for the common foot soldier as well as all who have served their country in war. I am so sorry I read your pm and I have been so busy getting ready to move out to Denver Colorado that it doesn't seem to have enough hours in the day! But I promise I'll make time to get back to you and @Nikolas. I would love to read your poems and your book, and it could be cathartic to finish the book for your father. I know I would be the first one to buy it. As I truly love reading stories about your father as well as @PTFC fathers in the Faulklands. But that is a new chapter for me in my learning about military history because it's so much new info it will take time to learn but great reading so far. I basically studied WWII and WWI. But I can't get enough about history always so much to learn! I hope you have a fantastic day. And a great weekend! I'm so happy that this board has been a good distraction from the anniversary of your fathers death yesterday. Give all those Maine coon cats a great big hug from me! Love ya Jools!

 
Yeah @Jools and @Conceited, Sheffield and Coventry were hit by sea skimming Exocets, CIWS, Close In Weapons System, wasn't as advanced as later on, in fact many lessons were learned from this conflict, the US Navy was extremely interested though Reagan had doubts about our success, though as Jools said, the US provided some good intelligence, Chile was our ally at the time and kept many of the Argentine land forces busy on tierra del fuego in a border dispute akso. Our intelligence services done much work also, 4 Argentinians were arrested in Spain during the conflict, heading for Gibraltar with the intention of sinking a royal Naval vessel with limpet mines if I recall too, they were sent back to Argentina from Spain I think, but it is well documented. Of course the Navy is well slimlined since them and I wont feel secure/Happy until both the carriers or at least HMS Queen Elizabeth is up and running, then the frigates will be well on their way to be commissioned hopefully too, giving us a pretty hefty punch of sea power again. There was no need to decommission our 3 previous carriers though and sell every last Harrier we had left to the US, who still use them! And I would have liked more than 5 type 45's, BUT, in a time of economic uncertainty, it will do. The large garrison of Marines on Falklands, plus a hunter killer, and a destroyer/frigate (south Atlantic patrol is Boooooring!) around is deterrent enough for now. 

 
@Jools Sorry for the mistake. Got carried away writing.  

@PTFC Can't see them trying to have another go at capturing that place.  Even though a lot of noise from the argies suggests otherwise. It was never theirs before the British sent an expeditionary force in the 1800's, which was the first time the island  was settled apparently. The Portuguese were the first to discover it, but never landed their. Then I think the Dutch stopped off their for a bit but left before Britain  took control. Suppose know its all about the natural resources that are meant undersea.     

 
Yeah, @Conceited, their country didn't even exist until about 1823, so the claim falls apart. They did "Promise" to gain control through peaceful means however. This is from the country in South America with the least amount of indigenous people's and a population made up of almost entirely European ancestry.

  1. xenxra @ xenxra: @WTF7218 it may as well be that way with how little effort some of the people on here make to find information that's exactly where you would expect it to be.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  4. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  5. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  6. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
