I don't seem to be able to stop reading posts about everything and everyone and then want to talk to them ! I'm relatively new to the site but I think it's becoming a bit obsessive. Is this normal behavior ? It does seem to be good for the soul and I must admit it's been one of my better addictions in my life

Yes. Some folks have been here for years.
And, your cluster headaches are because of a broken hypothalmus. And, the hypothalmus is partly in control of your addictions. What's the connections? Probably none.

I just remember the days when the internet was about porn and pictures of cute cats climbing in boxes. Now it's about finding solutions to my ailing body whatever it may be. Just coming to terms  with getting old or being broken I suppose.

Me too Shortstraw. I check in every day, even when not in cycle. It feels like I've really got to know people and I want to follow up on thier posts to find out how they're doing. And I had the great pleasure of meeting Aussie Brian and Denny M who I found on this site. Got friends all over the world now.

Thanks everyone, feeling more "normal" already
I think I'm going to fit in perfectly here. So many "like" minds in the one place can be a very powerful thing !

Amen Hoppy... I've been PF since Oct 21st and it's owed mostly to this site being here. And the interaction  here. (And my wonderful BATCH and his D3).

One thing Shortstraw.. if you get a chance to MEET a CHer in PERSON - DO IT! That really makes things worthwhile - something you have to experience to understand. Trust me - you will NOT be meeting a stranger..

November 99 for me Lenny.  Heck I can even remember way back when I thought Boob was old! But that was before I caught up with him.

Essentially in remission now - just some occasional minor hits. Haven't refilled the "T" tank in about 16 months. Pretty sure it's the vitamin D thing because when I get sloppy about taking them, my wife spots me turning my head the way I did before a hit.

Years ago, I know that Bob hid it among the Baywood Navy vessels in Los Osos, CA. Now I'm trying to figure out how he moved it. I wonder if I can find satellite shots of the river below his new wooded estate in the Sierra's..........

Yep he's one sneaky little bxx (oops) person alright.. I think he's getting help somewhere. But the satellite is worth looking into.. Keep us up to date on the results. I know that's worrying Don.  Smiley

That's funny.  I heard rumors the yacht sank.   Grin

This thread is bringing back a lot of good memories.  I kind of miss the old days before FB when everybody was here.  FB just isn't the same.

Shortstraw,

Let me suggest you search the archives for the story about the O2 safety kit, or Chuck's account of the attack of the toilet seat.  Maybe some kind soul will give you the link.  I've lost them, but I also lost half a day searching the archives that was one of the best half days I've ever spent.

I'm with you Jerry.. FB isn't the same as this place (maybe that's why I come here every day).

And the archives have some great stories. They were hilarious the first time and are still hilarious today. I'm still trying to find Kip's "puppies". He never did live that one down.  Smiley

And I hadn't heard the rumor about the yacht sinking.. I'll bet Bob P just started that one to get the heat off.  Smiley But have no fear someday we'll find it. He can run, but he can't hide...

Kiss

Tall tales and true from our legendary past? That would have to include the story of the lady, her 'lady's aid' and the dread outcome that could only befall a lady CHead.

I'd love to see that one again, even if names are changed to protect the guilty.
