Here we go!!! I'll start sending pics when I arrive in San Diego Tuesday mornin to hang out with Ron, Bonkers, Guiseppe, and Lenny for a couple of days before going on to the clusterbusters conference!! OMG!!! I'm as excited as a little kid fixin to go to Disney World...lmao!!!! Kinda worried bout one aspect though......I'm afraid my Colorado KoolAid is gonna get its azz kicked by Ron's micro brewery's "Pure Hoppiness"!!!! LOL!!! Plus, I'm such a lightweight when it comes to alcohol anyway.....this'll prolly be one of those "I drink, I get drunk, I fall down.....noooooo problem" experiences!!! Ya'll be good while I'm away now, ya heah!!! DD

Someone posted this not long after I joined the board..... there's no tellin how many times I've listened to it....this chick can play the sax!!! DD

Hope you're havin a great day clustermom!! Dallas Denny

Hey Johnny, Missed this post earlier.....these are all great cuts and favorites of mine as well...this is another of my picks from that era.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNtmp43C5yg DD

Hey Steven, Sorry to hear bout the bad luck!!! Don't nessesarily draw the conclusion that the problem was on your end though my friend!!! Since you purchased a kit, you have no way of knowing if the substrate jars were properly steilized (or even how fresh they were for that matter), so by all means....Don't be discouraged by this temporary setback. My suggestion at this point would be to consider preparing your own jars rather than risking your remaining microscopy sample on the rest of your "kit" jars which "may" be contaminated themselves! If you want to go ahead and try it with those jars, I would do 1 "test" jar first.....there is always the outside chance that you got a contaminated microscopy sample as well. DD

This post by David is absolutely "spot on" and I would like to add my Thank You to you as well Doc!! Dallas Denny

Hey Doc!! Thats great news!! I'll look forward to meeting you there!! Dallas Denny

Hi Dee!! Good to see you back on the board!! The meds are also the reason "busting" has been largely ineffective for Vernon as well I'm afraid Deidre....... ......just try to get him detoxed the best that you can this time and hopefully he'll get enough relief to cut down some more before his next bust......as others are going to tell you though, Lithium, DHE, and all Triptans are absolutes!!!! I'm sure Lee Ann will be around shortly to share her and Dan's experience with ONSI..... As always my prayers and PF thoughts are comin ya'lls way!! Dallas Denny

Hey Donnie, Glad to see you're back up dude!! Dallas Denny

Hi J Don't know about the weight, but have seen Cassidy and others post about using SPUT"s ( Small Piece of fungi Under the Tongue) to abort individual hits. DD

Hi Cakelady, I've been following your posts on CH.com as well........sorry the beast is back in your life!! Since I know from those posts that you're not using O2 therapy, I would urge you to get that in place prior to tryin "alt meds"!!!! In the mean time, as others have said, read the clusterbusters warning and the mushroom and LSA FAQ's in the Clusterbusters Files secton of the board.....then if you have specific questions someone here will be able to answer them for you!! Welcome to the community!! Sending PF thoughts and wishes your way!!! Dallas Denny

G'mornin Smokey Welcome to the forum...sorry you had the need to find us though!! I'm afraid I don't have any first hand experience using LSD for migraine.....I do, however have a friend that has migraines, icepicks, and CH who has been successful in using shrooms as a treatment! I can also tell you from my research that Albert Hoffman was researching treatment for migraines when he created LSD. Dallas Denny

Great clip Johnny!! Been a long time since Gram crossed my mind.....hard to calculate how much influence he would have had on the music world were it not for "the needle and the damage done"..... DD

I don't know that there is a "correct" answer to your question.......some strains will be more potent and thus require a smaller dose to reach the desired effect.........if you go to http://www.ralphstersspores.com/USA/index.php .....scroll down a ways to the "Best Sellers" list on the left side of the page, you'll find several strains that will work fine for your purposes. DD

Just WOW!! What a wonderful post Bob!! Just want to say thanks to you and all of the other "pioneers" whose work has made it possible for the CH community to have this board to come to and find that "Hope" and then be able to share it with those who come after us!!! DD

.....but for some of us, growing them is!! Wanted to give anyone interested in growing edibles a heads up......a friend and fellow board member is now supplying ralphsters with "live cultures" for several different kinds of edibles........Shiitake, Maitake, Reishi, Lions Mane, several different strains of Oysters, and others. The Lions Mane and Oysters can be grown out on BRF cakes per the instructions in Roadkills youtube videos......for the others you just need to substitue saw dust for the brown rice flour. DD

Hi Dave, They do have a fairly short "shelf life" when fresh.......just fan dry them for a few days and then finish them off in a drying chamber with some DampRid til they are "cracker dry" (they should break like a match stick when you try to bend them). After they're dry, you can put them in a glass canning jar with a small tyvek packet of DampRid and then put the jar in the freezer if you want.....I just pull an old sock over the jar and put it in one of my dresser drawers. DD

What alleyoop said!!! The miracle of being able to abort a hit in under 10 minutes without resorting to a Trex jab (and at a far cheaper price per abort than Trex I might add), is wayyy worthy of what few precautions you have to adhere to, to be able to use O2 therapy safely!!! DD

Hi Bigfoot, Are you saying here that O2 is out of the question due to lung damage caused by smoking or because it is a fire hazzard due to your smoking? Dallas Denny

Hell Tim, that was 46 years ago....damned lucky that I could even remember there was a Myrtle Beach!!! lmao!!!! Seems like it was close to the Pavilion (saw James Brown there in 66)......right off the boardwalk.....it was a crazy place!!! As alleyoop stated, they sold 3.2 draw beer......and they were open 23 1/2 hours a day (closed for a half hour to clean all the puke outta the restrooms...lol).....beer was 10 cents a cup or a buck a pitcher. If I remember correctly, Alabama paid tribute to the Bowery in "Shaggin on the Boulevard" as that was one of their early gigs. DD

Here's a pair of used ones on ebay for $58 inclucing SH......as long as it has a female CGA-540 fitting it should work on a welding O2 tank....... http://cgi.ebay.com/2EA-VICTOR-SR450D-REGULATOR-OXYGEN-TORCH-WELDING-GAS-/220643973432?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Pneumatic_Hydraulic_Valves_Parts&hash=item335f67d938 And a new one for $63 including SH..... http://cgi.ebay.com/Welding-CGA-540-Oxygen-Regulator-Medium-Duty-/170518099830?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27b3abb776 Dallas Denny

Hi Sweetwilliam, Since your friend has a diagnosis, I would definately look into high flow O2 therapy ASAP!!! It has made a world of difference in the way I view the affliction of CH......I routinely abort hits in 5 to 10 minutes when in cycle!!! Try to get your friend to come on the board as well.....it will mean a lot to her to find other folks who understand exactly what she has to endure at the hands of the beast! Dallas Denny

Nice Tim!! Ahhh.....Myrtle Beach.....brings back fond memories!! Spent almost every weekend there during the summer of 66 before I shipped out to Nam!! Is the Bowery still there? Dallas Denny

Well, no one had any fun, or anything to say, or any "adult beverages"!!! LOL!!! Just kidding, we had a blast!! We did decide to eliminate early spring and mid summer as possible dates for any future get togethers though!! And we all agreed to travel to Lee Ann and Dans in Ablilene for the next one!! As you can tell from the pics....I lied about the "adult beverages"...... http://s285.photobucket.com/albums/ll42/Smileyone1968/Dallas%20Denny%20Meet%20and%20Greet/ Dallas Denny

Well, Phil (CH-HELL) and Jen (flipperlips) got in from McAllen yesterday evening......of course as grannyb says.....no one had anyone to say...lol!! Had a great visit!!! Lee Ann and Dan will be comin in from Ablilene around noon and we have a couple (both clusterheads!!!....how insane could that get at times!!) from Mesquite coming this afternoon as well. Got word from Darrin (Texas Cluster ) this morning that he's not sure if he'll make it up from Katy or not. And of course, BarbaraD had her gall bladder sucked out Thursday and is at home getting well.....she'll be missed but it just gives us another excuse to have another get together soon..lol!! I'll be posting pics later!!! Sorry you couldn't make it this time Eric!! No Blackedyed Pea Soup this time my friend......Lee Ann's bringin smoked brisket, potato salad, and baked beans.....I've got a ham on the smoker and going to put some pasta salad together after while...HELL YEAH!!!
