God, I REALLY hope this was meant to be funny **Czar**. From where I stand, itā€™s not. Internet pharmacies assisted in my very painful addiction to hydrocodone. I had a freakin nervous breakdown and had to go into a safe house for four days to detox. Iā€™m clean now for well, _looks at calendar_, five months yesterday. YAY ME!!! me go girl!!! Even humorously throwing this stuff out there makes it possible for someone to use those sites to feed addictions and fall farther into the pit of despair. I find it painful to have someone joke about it. ---

It hasnā€™t ever changed to fit anyoneā€™s needs - it is either what you need or its not. At times, posters with very high popularity who a lot of Dopers would do ANYTHING for have left the board because they felt it wasnā€™t the right place for them at the time. Weā€™ve lost popular former mods, weā€™ve lost people very active here. Sometimes they come back when they are in a better spot. This may not be the right place for you right now. That doesnā€™t mean you have to leave, you get to decide (unless you manage to get yourself banned) - but you canā€™t expect it to change. People say hurtful things here, they make offhanded comments that are offensive to someone who has recently been through therapy, or lost a loved one, or shaken addiction, or bought a gun or had an abortion orā€¦ They hold grudges and dredge up the past. Iā€™ve said too much and I shouldnā€™t post this because this doesnā€™t need to turn into another trainwreck about YOUā€¦but Iā€™m going to because I think you (and some other people) can benefit from recognizing that this place is what it is. ---

FYI, **MizGrand** , and anyone else who was afraid to click the link lest they be swallowed up by the pits of Oxy Hell, Iā€™ll tell you what **czarcasm** was linking to: An eBay auction in which you can get ā€œReiki Healingā€ over the Internet for $39. The healing is performed byā€¦a witch! There, you feel better now that no one is fueling anyone elseā€™s naughty habits? (other than those that have reiki habits) ---

Why do the nutjobs and schemers always type in coloured 32-point (or larger) Arial? It must be because they figure that anyone dumb enough to fall for their crap canā€™t read anything unless itā€™s gigantic and right in their face. At least this one wasnā€™t all in upper case. **MizGrand** - Did you see the auction? Itā€™s nothing to do with pharmaceuticals. At least, not unless youā€™re meant to swallow that ā€œChi or Energy Ball,ā€ and even then Iā€™m not certain of the psychotropic effects of swallowing ā€¦ er ā€¦ balls. ---

[/QUOTE] **Czarcasm** , I seriosuly hope this is supposed to be a joke! Because I dont find it fucking amusing. I am recovering from OCD. Itā€™s only been _looks a calendar_ 15 weeks since I stopped constantly cleaning everything in sight!! I used to dust for hours. I couldnā€™t look at a broom without sweeping my entire apartment a half dozen times. I would finally put the broom downā€¦ only after the skin on my hands started to rub off. I would sweep the common areas leading to my apartment, the parking lot, even the really messy parts of the lawn! I couldnā€™t stop. I was a huge fucking loser but now Iā€™m better. However, even the sight of a broom could send me back into relapse! Please, have some fucking respect! There are people out there who dont want to look at brooms right now! ---

[/QUOTE] Ermā€¦are you feeling better now? Cos I know how common relapses are. And itā€™s sooo easy to get into one of those cleaning jags where you obsessively vaccuum the entire flat and wash the dishes and scrub the kitchen and maybe do the ironing for a little light cleaning fun. Really, I know how tough it can be. In fact, Iā€™m going to do something I never thought Iā€™d do for some random bear offa the internet. Iā€™m going to invite you - should you feel your symptoms returning - to come visit my home and hang out. Really, youā€™re a fellow Doper and I feel I should do more for this wonderful online community. You are welcome to visit and stay as long as is needed. Really. šŸ™‚ ---
