Taz, while my post was really long, it was very heartfelt and I'm glad to see that someone (you) actually read it. And yes, I did read through the whole thread - at first, just out of curiosity - and I did understand exactly what it was that was bothering you and others in regards to the many posts similar to your example: 'Where can I get Oxy fast', etc.. And frankly, those type of posts irritate me as well. As a matter of fact, I have pushed the " Notify" button on a few of them myself, only to get back an auto-response that Admin has already been notified about that post. (At least I knew it wasn't just me...). Anyway, While I may be new to this particular forum, I have participated in various forums/discussion boards over the years, and it seems that regardless of the subject of the forum, the same types of annoying and unwanted posts will show up - varying in content only in an attempt to fit the general subject of the particular forum they are using to spread their spam and other nonsense. It also quickly becomes easy for regular participants to recognize them as such... I'm sure that seeing a registration date that is the same as the offending post makes it all the more obvious. I did not take offense at all personally in anything I read in this thread, as like I say, I did understand the reason for it. It's just that I knew that I started a thread the same day as registering (with no intention of shilling, spamming, flaming or intentionally causing trouble in any other way), and that it had ultimately led me to a very positive result I'm not sure I would have been able to find had I not been allowed to make that initial contact with the caring people I did - given the frame of mind I was in at the time. My decision to make the post here that I did was mainly because while I can't speak for anyone else, it is my belief that my story is not unique, and that it's likely that more newly registered people than not have come here for the right reasons, and IMHO it seems more important to accomodate them than neglect them in the interest of punishing those who are here to cause trouble. I may be wrong, but I do feel that the troublemakers are in the minority - though it might not seem like it because they are the "squeaky wheels". Again, I mean no disrespect to you or anyone else who has expressed similar opinions, and I neither have a better solution to offer, nor do I feel I'm in a position to be attempting to do so even if I did. I only meant to offer a different point of view. P.S. A bit OT, I know... but a few days ago, I took a peek in the "Sin Bin" and was somewhat shocked at how blatant some of those were... in particular, one who 'wanted to be a RX drug dealer' and was with the Mexican Mafia....... hmmmmmm.. good thing there is a speical place for those! lol

What irritates me far more than newbies looking for help or high, are those 'Poobahs' that have become 'Poobahs' in a couple of months. I've been around here lurking since '02, and a member since '06, and haven't enough posts for full privilege. That job you speak of with the probationary period before receiving dental insurance.....Get one!
Most of us came to DB for help. Most of us were also a little more subtle in our questions than others, but we all had to start somewhere on this board. Not all first timers are scammers. Be patient with them. Availability of relief is not nearly as easy to find as it once was. DB has been very good to me over the years. Info used to be more freely shared. Researching sites has become much more difficult. People keep their sources close to the vest. It's almost reached trial and error. Throw enough sh*t at the wall......and you may eventually get relief. Remember why this site began, and don't be so paranoid, just be careful.
I also came to this site for help. Since then I have contributed to many people and try to help them. You act as if I made the Rules. If you have a problem with that, then you need to take it up with Admin, not me. It's evident that you have not read my post. Before you judge someone, you need to know them. My post is an open book. I don't deserve to take this craap off of you or anybody else. Also I will not take it. Taz

I have found that by posting and letting people get to know me that I found friends who showed me the way and told me which sites I could trust and also which ones to avoid. So posting is a good thing. I was even helped with my computer skills which are sadly lacking. musician7, that was a nice thing to read and I hope that in time I will be able to find the same. Thanks for the encouraging post... notamused, hope you are able to get the help you need here. Unfortunately, a lot of scams have been on this board, so members are a little more reserved than usual, especially after the RHA Act. So just post & let us get to know you & most members will respond to questions that are asked openly!! Hi, NotAmused - hey I AM the word queen, so we already have a connection. My fingers are out of sync here, so I won't be so wordy today. But I wanted to say - thank the heavens you got your meds. It should be not so difficult to obtain the meds you need. I welcome you. And hope you continue to contribute. And don't worry about post counts. Although there was high fives all around in my family for becoming a Pooh Bah. LOL. Wow! I love you guys!  Even though that part of musician7's post that I had quoted wasn't even meant for me, I was just somehow touched by it and spontaneously responded. Now I'm glad I did... although my sincere appologies to you TAZ, as it seems I inadvertently hijacked your thread and it appears to have gone way off topic. I am truly sorrry for that. But, I must say that I was totally surprised - but very pleasantly so, to have just come back here to find that my OT comment seemed to have gotten some unexpectedly warm and friendly responses! Secondstar and PNWRain, thanks for your support and caring that I did in fact get the meds I'd ordered. They were indeed a life-saver for me! But you are right PNW in that it that it never should have been such an ordeal to have gone through all that just to get a medication that I have been legally prescribed for years.... especially when I had a scheduled appointment with a doc in my current location.. it just was not to be until the end of November. Just as you and so many of the others I've seen on here who obviously also have legitimate reasons for being here.... or well, I use the word "legitimate" in this case loosly only in that it's just not right that the drug laws are so ... nit-pickey (for lack of a better word at the moment) that those who have medical histories that indicate a clear need for certain meds even have to be put in the position of having to obtain what we are medically and legally entitled to in such a way! (and yes, I'm new but it is not so hard to notice the difference between people like you guys and those who are just looking to get high rather than seeking relief from a medical condition, or are here to promote other sites for their own selfish reasons... and the ones who just seem to post stuff for the sole purpose of being annoying  ) I'm not sure if that all came out quite right, but I hope you know what I was trying to say.... and I would like very much to continue to post here, whether or not I will be in need of placing any more orders for myself. I don't know what has gotten into so many people, but in all honesty, I have not found many people lately - either on or off line in quite a while prior to having found this board who even have a single pleasant thing to say what so ever! So, your kind words mean a whole lot to me. and as long as you can put up with my often long and rambling posts, I have no intention of losing contact now with those of you who seem to be a rare people now a days, and have taken the time to show me your kindness and compassion, even amongst all the scamming/spamming, etc... going on all around. And espeically for having given me the benefit of the doubt. I can't tell you how heartwarming this is! I'd better return this thread to TAZ now though, if possible - before I end up ruining a good thing! Love and Light to All!

Awwwwww.... you guys are too much! (I'm beginning to get embarassed... 4real, but meant in a good way). Taz, I will have to follow YOUR advice regarding ignoring some of the .. well... idiots. While it's not really in my nature to be rude or start trouble, I do have to admit that in last week or so, there have been a few times I went to a particular thread to either look for info or post something pertaining to that thread, only to see some totally irrelevant bit of spam stuck in there, At first I did ignore it, but on several of those, I quickly noticed that the person(s) had been going through all the forums, leaving a copy/paste of the same thing in each. Then I would get irritated and wind up leaving a sarcastic remark of my own under several of theirs... until they started to be deleted. So, then of course I would feel like a total idiot myself, realizing that the Mod or Admin who was doing the deleting also saw my childish remarks. But the next time I saw someone else doing the same thing, I'd find myself reacting to them the same way anyway! Why? I don't know, but there's nothing good about that kind of embarassment! I fully intend from here on out to follow your lead there Taz and ignore, ignore ignore! (Maybe Notify if someone hasn't beaten me to it.. lol) Oh, and this board certainly is addicting! I hadn't really given it a whole lot of thought, but I suppose I had figured that once I had found what I needed and felt better, I would probably lose interest.. but, the opposite seems to have happened. The majority of my posts have been made after I received my meds! As a matter of fact, yesterday morning, I got a call from the Doctor's office whth whom I had made the earliest appointment I could get - which was to be at the end of November, saying that there was a cancellation and they could get me in that day if I could come right away. Which I did, had a good visit and when I left the office (with script in hand for Klonopin), the first thing I thought about was that I couldn't wait to come home and tell you guys about it! (But I didn't get around to it partly because I wound up having to take care of some other things and also, I had no idea which thread I should post it in!) I still don't, and am fairly sure this one is not it... but since I seem to already have de-railed it... and hoping Admin doens't get too mad, there isn't a whole lot to tell, so I'll just make it very brief and get it out of my system if it's O.K. It's always nervewracking to go to a brand new, unknown doctor in the first place. But this guy was very nice. I ended up telling him about how I'd ordered clonazepam online from India, and he just kinda took that in stride (odd, for a doctor, IMO). He said he was surprised that it worked, as he had always assumed that they were all scams, but said he was glad that I had been able to find a way to take care of what I needed to take care of. Then, he asked if I was worried about having Feds showing up on my doorstep. I said, not really and he quite seriously said that they probably wouldn't, but just in case not to hesitiate to contact him and he would personally take responsibility for the fact that I did have an appointment and it was the fault of his office that I was not able to be seen in a timely manner. I think it's highly unlikely that any of this would actually ever even come up... but still, it was a very nice gesture and totally out of charactor for a doctor... (I think). Seems that they would in general look down on this sort of thing. Anyway, that was all. Just had wanted to share that bit for anyone who happened to want to read it. Also to say that just because I was finally able to get a regular script, I"m no less grateful for the help I received here, as I honestly don't know what would have happened between when I received the meds and when I saw the doc 13 days later. I'm convinced that my successful order saved me from slipping back into the horrible place that was looming closer and closer. Admin... I do realize that this has been totally off topic, and am aware that I should not have let it happen. At this point though, I can only hope you will believe me that I have NO intention of making a habit of doing this. Promise! Thanks again, my Friends!
