  5. Sorry to rehash an old thread, and my apologies to Andy for not replying. Looking at the date I think it was the time I was in detox to try to change to methadone which didn’t turn out so well. Went for day leave at home for a few hours and drowsiness combined with respiration dropping pretty quickly so I thought it wiser to go back inside. Guess I’m super sensitive to methadone or something. I remember not being able to have that discussion about Ketamine like I wanted. I forget why exactly though now. But having very recently seen other sides of K I think it’s now going to be a new one to explore as much as possible for the reasons in this thread, as well as all the other facets.

    The Random Thread.

    Random! I recently took up film (analogue) photography which I’ve been loving. I hadn’t even really used my digital cameras properly much by the start of COVID. But it’s so much fun and so Interesting that I’ve been teaching myself from FB groups and YT how to develop it at home as well. I can even clean up and do basic repairs on old cameras! I wouldn’t really consider the instant type of photos to be film - even tho they are - but still heaps of fun! Scored an old Polaroid the other day. Now I just need to scrape together a few bucks to buy a newer instant I had to trade for fungi ☹️
  9. What are your favourites, or recommendations for awesome music with visuals? Some of mine offhand are: Shpongle; live at the Roundhouse Muse; concert in Rome Pink Floyd; live at Pompeii Tool; I keep all the DVDs in the same spot to make them easier to find when the walls start to melt. Be nice if they could make the menus easier to navigate too... Sigur Ros; Valtari. Different filmmakers were invited to make videos of their interpretations of some of the songs. A veritable rainbow of emotions felt. The scope of human imagination here would make me proud to show this to an alien intelligence. Beastie Boys; Fight for your rights revisited Led Zeppelin; the song remains the same Porcupine Tree; I think the dvd is called Anesthetize Radiohead; I think it's called King of Limbs, live from the Basement Concert for George; george harrison's tribute concert. I prefer the first half which is written by Ravi Shankar and many of the players were the original musicians playing alongside George back when they did Concert For Bangladesh. The sitar playing of Anoushka Shankar is mesmerising. It Might Get Loud; Jimmy Page, Jack White, and The Edge talk about guitars, playing style, etc. Maybe not visual per se but a cool doco nonetheless. VVV Obtusi, yeah I remember that guy on the bongos!! rofl smashed crabs hey?

    These two clips (probs posted a hundred times already) are so frigging good I can’t even...
  12. So apparently a medical researcher at a children’s hospital discovered a three way formula for regenerating neural pathways. They weren’t allowed to use herbs, so a company has piggybacked this research and found alternative herbs. What do we reckon, source own ingredients? From this website
  13. Beautiful! So much more to learn and try! I noticed the terpene company that Tor recently recommended (My Terpenes) had b-carophyllene blend suggested for pain relief. That particular one called to me (at least as a start) so I'll be giving it a go soon thanks to Tor's friend! Very interesting the ibogaine, too. Due to turmeric's anti-inflammatory actions I've been putting it in my food with black pepper whenever possible for at least a decade now, but haven't yet tried essential oil. Re.Hyperforin, I've noticed over the years that supplements I've taken for mind/energy boosting containing hyperforin, bacopa, centella etc seem to give me an actual noticeable effect - more mental than physical, but I hadn't been paying attention to possible physical benefits of them. I presume supplements that I haven't really needed wouldn't have been noticeable. Besides my obvious spinal cord damage and resultant direct neuropathies from that, I have the Restless Legs which is a fucking NIGHTMARE. Added to all this is indirect neuropathy from being in a wheelchair for nearly TWO DECADES (I seriously cannot believe it's been this long) and the pain and damage from postural abnormalities. As of a week ago I've been blessed with a new and different exciting nerve-based pain - YIPPEE - that I'm sure starts in my left hip/pelvis somewhere, shoots down into my groin, and down into the inner heel of my left foot. I'm pretty sure this one came about when we finally got around to fixing my wheelchair cushion so that my posture is a bit better to correct the old pain, but now a nerve is impinging from the rearrangement. And winter is coming...
  14. Excellent I knew I could count on some rational thinking, thank you kindly Alchemica. Sadly I don’t have as much time for research and experiments as I once did.

    PTSD 2018

    It’s nearly 2am and I can’t write on a proper keyboard so I’ll be extremely brief. I humbly suggest you have a look at Transpersonal Therapy which can take many forms with how it’s utilised for the client (art/music/body movement/counselling etc). It’s not even the Contemporary idea of Art Therapy - it’s so much more. But if it doesn’t call you, then it doesn’t call you I’m just offering something you may not have seen. Ive got PTSD (undiagnosed) from a police incident in April last year.

    socket passed away

    I am so sorry to hear that I'm actually crying now. My doggo is currently getting operated on for a bowel obstruction. Oh furbabies… how you wedge your crazy-beautiful souls into our hearts... Is there a better, truer love than one which transcends common communication?

    Pet dogs.

    Thanks Amz! :D Had a wonderful day chilling at home with my partner and Loooocyyy Freya is all grown up now. And we’ve moved back to Sydney so she’s away from all her pupper friends and family (and my niece and nephew) so she’s pretty lonely which is sad. Our cats aren’t fond of her because she’s too boisterous. But we rescued a kitten from a highway a few weeks ago (his bottom lip was torn off the jaw, awful!) and fixed kitty up - so Freya was having an absolute blast playing with kitty. Then we had to give kitty to my friend (his forever home) and Freya was sad again She’s been a bit naughty because in Coffs I was able to take her for drives or put her in the car to go for a walk along the breakwall at the harbour. But since being back in Sydney I don’t have a car anymore (paying for lawyers) and the streets here are way too steep for me to walk her. My partner is too exhausted from work and his health issues to walk her, and there’s no way we can afford a walker I feel so bad for her. We can’t leave her outside in the yard because 1. She destroys the plants occasionally and 2. She howls because she wants to be inside with us 99% of the time. When we’re outside in the garden we always take her out, but it’s not the same as a walk. She’s still a gorgeous girl, and I’m sure she’d be a lot less naughty and disobedient (when she chooses to be) if she got a lot more exercise.

    Post a random picture thread

    Ten pups! Five left to go to homes. Photo was taken a week and a half ago about to go to the vet’s for microchipping and vaccinating. One girl has a tail, the rest are stumpies. Two boys, three girls. The litter was a big-ass whoopsie before mum was about to be desexed. We’re only asking $400 to cover costs and to not give them away to dog fighters. They’re full siblings to my girl. The boys - Mini Bear (named after his grown-up brother) and Big Boy will be quite stocky, very sooky, and probably not overly excitable. The girls range from Rough Nut: Very outgoing, playful, smart, stocky. Tail: outgoing, smart, rat bag, noisiest, medium-stocky. Gentle Annie: Small, very soft fur, quiet, sooky, and smart. Only to go to genuine homes obviously, and we expect they’ll be desexed asap. They’ve not really been exposed to cats, but if that’s an issue we should be able to get them used to my cats before they go out :D PM if interested :D

    Have you seen any cool movies lately??

    Excellent!! I don't remember much of Prometheus, but I think I remember thinking it was lacking in substance or something. Anyway I'm very excited for Covenant now. Probs have to skip another meal to see it at the movies lol
