My manic phase is in right now,has been for a little while,makes all things a little different.Therapy is a weekly thing anymore,the Med Doc is playing with a few changes,mostly the Ativan,I need to calm down,more so right now.

ANYWAY!

With all this going on I did have a very good discussion with a few long term members,over illegal drugs...it was real entertaining
Too bad about the adhesive. But Fabulous! That you are smoking less. If you are up for it, you can continue to taper a little, a little even without an aid. That's what I did with the methadone. Tough but a doable grind. I can't believe it's been 18 months now. Glad at least you are not depressed and sounds like you are up to go things.

Clough, I am not at all surprised that Ken makes amazing things!

I will check out the thread on illegal drugs.

Cheers,

Yes, KBC a.k.a Ken, really has made some amazing things!

My friend and I were witness to what he's done when doing construction on a barn that's been converted to a residence - tables, chairs, walls, flooring, cabinetry...

His attitude and accomplishments are an inspiration!

He's my friend and I sure wish that he was my neighbor!

I was given a really interesting article to read about smoking and major depressive disorders,the speculated research says that smoking might be an 'antidepressant' all by itself..and for those with major depression histories may have symptoms increase when quitting,the use of SSRI's isn't suggested as much as the medications for SNRI's.

It's my brief summery of this, Researchers Explore Link Between Smoking, Depression ? Psychiatric News

Sometime, I'm going to start a thread about the projects that people have done. I would hope that you'd be willing to post images on it, KBC!

Sounds like a good idea to me,for those who make things,You know the artist is their own worst critic,but perhaps there will be some who'll enjoy sharing.

I was thinking also on the lines of people who also do construction type of work, like building of any kind, landscaping, remodeling, etc.
