Dallas Denny

Well said Beeyull.....I could not agree more!!

......a little back story on the inspiration for this post first. I met a clusterhead who owns a farm and garden store near us for the first time on the phone about 3 1/2 years ago when we still lived in Dallas. My wifes ex had walked into his store while he was getting hit and found him huffin O2.....Mike has seen me get hit on numerous occasions so he immediately knew what the hell was goin on! He also knew about my involvement with CB and our treatment method......so he sez, "You got cluster headaches don't ya"? So he gives the guy my number and tells him, "Call Denny, he's got some stuff that'll fix that shit for ya!! So I get the call, gave him the scoop. and offered to help.....he just wasn't willing to go to those lengths.....I fully understand!! The first time I landed on the old CB site (before this version of the board was up and running), I read about it, laughed about it, and forgot about it!! My exact words to my wife were, "Its a bunch of damned old hippies tryin to justify getting high!! When we purchased our property here in okieland 3 years ago, I stopped in at his store to pick u some stuff, introduced myself, and we talked for awhile about CH...still wasn't willing to go to those lengths.... I usually buy at the big box stores like Lowes and the Depot but last Saturday I stopped in to pick up a couple saw chains and in the course of our conversation, I asked him how his head was treatin him. His response was, "Its been fine since I started using this herbal concoction I picked up while on vacation 2 years ago"! My first thought was, "Oh shit, this dude done went to the BVI's and stumbled on to the Bomba Shack"! LOL!! He was actually in the Dominican Republic and this is where the plot commences to thicken folks!!! While he was there, he got hit and some black dude sitting close by asked if he had a headache and then recommended this concoction as a treatment!! So the guy took him to this shop and he bought a bottle of it....a squat shaped 750 ml bottle ( think recycled rum bottle), stuffed full of twigs, bark, and dried herbs....and NO, they would not disclose the ingredients!!! Now its time to make the brew (this is gonna make most of ya'll cringe at the thought)....in a medium sized drinking glass, add 2 fingers of honey followed by 3 fingers of RED WINE!!! Stir until the honey has dissolved, stick a funnel in your bottle and pour it over yer sticks and twigs....THEN.....fill the bottle the rest of the way up with light RUM!!!!! Let it steep for a few days and them pour it out and start over (they told him the first steep would taste too bad too drink!)....anyway....fill the bottle back up again, let it steep, and then proceed to take 1 shot daily...when ya run out, just fill the bottle back up again....this guy is still using the same bottle from 2 years ago!! Now for a little bit of his history... ....Clusters for 15 years and he's a rightie ....although he doesn't fit the "classic chronic" definition, his cycles would last 6 months followed by 1 to 2 month remission and then another 6 months of hits for the whole 15 years....that would damned sure be chronic to me!!!! ....and he sez alcohol was NOT a trigger for him. And his results.....he had 3 hits the first 6 months he was drinkin this concoction and has been completely PF the last 18 months!!!!! I hope Ricardo and some of our other knowledgeable herbalist minded members will address the possibility of this concoction in some way changing the alcohol content and rendering it to be a non trigger?? Well, guess I can't put it off any longer......the name of said concoction.......Mama Juana!!! When I googled the name, there was plenty of info on it but I could find nothing that would indicate that it would help clusters.....but I can tell you this for SURE....this dude is one happy camper and he wouldn't miss a daily shot of what ever the hell he's takin for the world!!!! DD

Hey Echo Absolutely crank it up to 25 (if you have no underlying conditions like COPD), but ONLY after you get the correct mask!!! Check out the O2 page on the little menu tab on the left side of the page....you need the opti1mask which you can order from the store at our sister site CH.com...around $30 + s&h...in the meantime, you can use a standard NON rebreather mask( looks like your photo but with a 2 liter ambu bag attached. With this set up I consistently abort a hit in 5 to 8 minutes!! DD

Hi Echo In a nutshell, "life saving" for myself and the vast majority of headbangers here!! I've personally met only one CH'er for whom O2 was completely ineffective!! So I'll beat CH Father to the punch and ask how you're using O2 therapy, what flow rate, what type of mask?? Welcome to the community....but sorry you have the need to be here!! DD

Well....WSOP changed up the format on this years super satellite to the main event!!! Unfortunately, my pockets weren't deep enuf to be competitive!! Although it was still a $70 buy in tourney for 2k in chips, they added unlimited $50 rebuys thru level 4 (the first session ), AND, during the first break you could do single or double add on's at $50 for 3000 chips!! So anytime your chip stack is 2k or less you can buy 2000 more chips....so for $120 I started with 4K chips......the ALL IN insanity began on the first hand!!! Some idiot sitting on the dealers right burnt thru $500 in rebuys in the first session!!!! I actually was the beneficiary of 2 of his busts and was sitting on almost 9K at the break but... ....the last hand before the break, everyone at the table with less than 4K went all in....one dude won big and the rest did double rebuys and double add ons...so when we got back from break I was the short stack at the table by at least 1000 chips!! It was still a blast playin with the pros but it seemed more like lotto than poker so I think I'll stick to the small daily tourneys in the card room where poker skills actually count!!! same ol broke DD

Well, the WSOP circuit event is back at Choctaw.....my lovely bride gave me entry money for 2 tourney buy in's this year for Christmas!!! So....one down....100K event......$125 buy in for 8K chips.....got to play a total of 5 hands during the first 4 level session, won em all, and went on break with almost 20K and was the big stack on my table.....30 min into the 2nd session I got sent to the rail on a BAD river beat!! lol!! Gotta tell ya it's exciting to play with all those pros but I wouldn't have their job on a bet!! That tourney started at noon and didn't reach the 8% that moved to todays final event until after midnite!!! It is sooooo boring, not to mention my back, neck, and shoulders were killin me!!!! I would hate to think that I flew in from somewhere and had to rent a room to put myself thru that every week to make a living!!! None the less, I will play the mega sat to the 1 mil main event on the 16th......last year I made it halfway thru a field of 955 entries....a total of 130 seats were awarded to the main event so just need to last another 300 folks this year!! LOL!! DD

Merry Christmas from Okie land y'all!

This info is sooooo gonna change your CH life as you know it Art!!!! I have consistently and routinely aborted hits in 5 to 8 minutes during the past 7 years after gaining this life changing knowledge!! It won't abort a cycle, but it will allow you to cut back or eliminate the trex....I used 1 during a 5 mo cycle 2 years ago, and none during this years bout!! DD

Welcome to the community Art, sorry you have the need to be here! I've been here for 4+ years and I'm not aware of anyone having a brush with the law....it is illegal so without a doubt there are risks....most folks are out of options when they get here so I think for most, the chance of relief outweigh the risks. Read and ask questions...again, welcome! DD

Me missus bought a paperback Down town on Saturday, I had a peep into her bag; 'Twas “Fifty Shades of Grey." Well I just left her to it, And at ten I went to bed. An hour later she appeared; The sight filled me with dread. Her left hand held a length of rope; And in her right a whip! She threw them down onto the floor, And then began to strip. Well fifty years or so ago I might have had a peek; But Doris hasn’t weathered well; She’s eighty four next week. Watching Doris bump and grind Could not have been much grimmer. Things then went from bad to worse; She toppled off her Zimmer! She struggled up upon her feet A cuppla minutes later; She put her teeth back in and said That I must dominate her!! Now if you knew our Doris, You would see just why I spluttered, I’d spent two months in traction For the last complaint I’d uttered. She stood there nude, just naked like, Bent forward just a bit …. I took a pace to brace meself And stood on her left tit! Old Doris screamed, her teeth shot out; My god what had I done? She moaned and groaned then shouted out: “Step on the other one!” Well readers, I won't tell no more What happened on that day. Suffice to say my jet black hair Turned “fifty shades of grey”.

I have been using the Harbor Freight reg for several years now....when used for its intended purpose, the gauge on the right registers the total pressure in the cylinder ( 2000 psi in a fully charged M tank)....with the O2 knob in an OFF position on the cutting torch, the valve on top of the cyl turned on, and the pressure adjust turnkey on the reg in an OFF position ( fully counter clockwise ), the reading on the output gauge on the left will read 0 psi....as you dial the turnkey clockwise that reading increases to your desired setting.... However, with an optimask attached the left gauge will continue to register 0 psi so I don't know how you would go about converting psi to lpm..... ....all that bein said, if I dial in more than 1 1/2 turns ( very low pressure considering how much more could be dialed in) the bag refills to the point of O2 escaping from the mouthpiece before I can completely exhale. Having gone to welding OX from a med OX E tank with a 15 psi regulator, I would guess with this setting, I'm getting at least twice the flow rate with the welding rig. DD

I'm thinking this may be a moot issue!! Just saw on the evening news that Snowdens latest leak says the NSA has already developed tools that allow them to unlock most if not all encryption programs.... ....while I don't think mining data from users on this site or any site for that matter and handing it over to the DEA is out of the question, I've got to side with Ricardo on this one.... Too many bigger fish in the mix for them to concentrate on CH'ers tryin to cope!!! DD

Ah c'mon Jeebs, don't candy coat it.....tell us how you really feel bout those wankers....lmao

Dude!!! You Rock!!!! Dallas Denny

Damn, its been awhile!!! Seems in mid January, either Apple or AT&T decided to make some kind of change (NO one seems to know what it was!!) that resulted in a server incompatability issue when trying to log onto any YABB powered board with an iphone!! Weird thing was I could register and set up a new account but then I couldn't log into it either!!! I said some pretty ugly things to several tech reps...lol!!! Finally got logged back on week before last but was knee deep in shit about then so haven't had time to post til now...... .....long story short, my wife Cindy had a grand mal seizure and quit breathing on me the 25th of March!! Thank God for that CPR training!!!! After 4 days in the hospital for tests at 10K a day (mostly cardiac tests to rule out a heart attack as she had major chest pain before she collapsed) they called in neurology and put her on anti seiz meds and scheduled a sleep study.....had that week before last and she flunked that test big time......severe sleep apnea (62 episodes per hour of quitting breathing!!!)......so now we know why she's been so tired the past several months and that the seizure was probably the result of her threshhold being lowered significantly by the apnea!!! Got her new machine and mask today fer a mere $1100 and both of us are really lookin forward to a good nites sleep for a change!! Nice to be able to read the non public sections of the board again and hopefully I'll have some time to spend here again soon!!! Dallas Denny

Tony, I think CHFather had an email address for Les at one time.......he's here on a regular basis and I'm sure he'll see this thread and respond. DD

.....the Choctaw casino up the road is having a WSOP circuit event this month......one of my Christmas presents was the entry fee to a satelite tourny with a guaranteed 40 seats to the main event on the 18th with a $1 mil guarantee!!!! .....I'll need LOTS of luck!!! DD

I am so very sorry to hear this news. When this board went live in Oct of 09, CArl was an "old timer" from the old private cb group... He was so helpful and became a good friend......got a PM from him one day sayin he was gonna pull away from the board and leave it to the new guys.....I have missed him being here so much over the past couple of years!! RIP brother.... DD

This may no longer be the case Weatherman!!!!! A little birdie told me this past Thursday that Entheogen has a $20 mil investor on the hook in what could be a done deal by the end of January!!!! Can I get a FECK YEAH!!!! DD

Still one of my favs.... DD

Safe travels and PF wishes to all!!! DD

Hi Pos We have another board member from the Netherlands by the name of Oscar....if you'll search posts by him, I think you'll find answers to most of your questions DD

Wishing Gods speed and safe passage to all in the path of this storm!!! DD

Correct on colonization Spiny....the other term in this equation is "consolidation". After the jar reaches 100% colonization ( the portion of the cake we observe thru the jar), it takes another week for the mycelium to consume the inner part of the cake.... Consolidation.... IMHO, you'll be better off leavin em in the jar an xtra week vs the contam risks of birthing early.....the worst that can happen is they will start pinning in the jars....just pick em off after birthing and then dunk and roll as usual. Dry what you pick off as usual and put em in yer medicine pouch!! DD

Have a good one birthday boy!! Burn one down for me!! DD
