Maybe I am, but maybe he'll also get started on Cpap. Pop psychology isn't the only thing people need.

You are correct. I am not a psychologist, pop or otherwise.
The codependent behavior comes from you.

I just do not see where any of this is helping.
Prove me wrong, that's ok with me.

Ask Enchanter to post his test results this next week for feedback.
You can show him how to protect his identity.

Hi Postitnote,

I am Sonnyboy and there is only one of me.

I feel you and EMS are one and the same because your personalities are so similar. One minute you are sweet and helpful, the next minute you are foul, obnoxious, swearing, and attacking people.

You have the most foul language of anyone on the forum, really not befitting of the grandmother you say you are.

You push healthy food and recipes, then you turn around and push Marijuana. I doubt anyone on this forum cares which nights you get high anymore than anyone cares when someone gets drunk.

Regarding Marijuana I don't believe anyone said it was wrong in itself. Things that are legal can be harmful too. You should not push Marijuana on people anymore than you should push alcohol and cigarettes on people. What are you thinking? Maybe you don't think. Maybe you just spurt out of your mouth nonsensical stuff in effort to look cool. It's not cool! I feel members were saying don't push Marijuana on Enchanter because of his apparent inability to think for himself but then again now that we know he may be using Meth maybe it doesn't matter anyway. Come to think of it using Meth may explain the bizarre behavior of you, EMS and Enchanter. I believe Enchanter may be one of your personalities or at the very minimum a close friend.
Sonnyboy go find your momma and tell her you're being a bad boy! You are trying to tell me what I can or cannot say to someone (E) who I'm sure doesn't have any interest in what you say since it's all been negative towards him. You sound so deranged with your scenario above that it makes me wonder about you. I smoke pot on occasion. So what. I have a drink maybe 2 or 3 times a year. I have never seen or taken meth or crack. You sound like you are high on something but maybe it's too much chocolate or candies. What is your obsession with Enchanter? Why must some of you treat him so badly? You are preying on him like stalkers which is pretty sick in my opinion!

Oh and this little comment from another thread:

PR telling someone to drink...in moderation of course. So where's the difference? Both are legal in this case. Think about it. Reply when you feel you can say something constructive and not from a Twilight Zone comic book.

One last thing tonight. Which one of you people sent Enchanter a couple of Ambiens? Now that was illegal. Giving him sleeping pills could have killed him! None of you know him so what would have happened if he had a reaction to them? What is unbeknown to any of us he liked to down a 6 pack of beer every night? Booze and pills don't mix! How many of you told him to "just take the pill". I admit I told him to hide the damn thing in a candy bar but I didn't send it to him. That would be illegal wouldn't it. Hmm...someone on this forum was playing unlicensed doctor and giving E sleeping pills. Who was again?
Morbius, are you bored?

Hi Postitnote,

My mother has been deceased for many years, however if she could I know she would say I am being a good responsible woman.

Yesterday you said Enchanter is a grown man. If this is true, he can speak for himself.

I described your behavior as I see it as opposed to telling you what you should and should not do with one exception. I did say: “You should not push Marijuana on people any more than you should push alcohol and cigarettes on people.” You disagree?????

Nobody is stalking Enchanter. We read the posts to learn, support, and assist and this is why we are here. Do you really believe that reading forum posts is stalking??? If you are correct and this is stalking than you yourself are a stalker. What are you thinking???

You said Medical Marijuana is legal in Enchanter’s state so for Enchanter Marijuana is not legal until he has a Marijuana card.

Re: What is unbeknown to any of us he liked to down a 6 pack of beer every night?
Your sentence here is not clear to me. Are you saying he likes to down a 6 pack of beer every night??? If this is true he is an alcoholic.

The other people you reference in this post can speak for themselves if they care to.

End of discussion.

This is not news, he himself said someone gave him two ambien pills and talked about if he should take one or both and when, was a longer than necessary thread as usual... He then stated he took them both first one and then the other after a while at the sleep center for his last test.

How is it possible you don't know that?
Enchanter wrote:So do I be my own boss and take the Ambien pill? He told me that it's a no no. (Although the tech has laughed at that.) My Primary's assistant has also warned me not to. Would there ever be any way they found out? If I take the pill, will I pass out as soon as I take it and show up? They might get suspicious and ask me if I took anything? What do you think? This is getting crazy and I might have no choice but to take it.
Enchanter wrote:So after taking a couple of Ambiens (about an hour apart from each other) I didn't notice them kicking in. I did start feeling a little more relaxed though. In the end I think I slept for about 4 hours or so. Normally I have painful dreams and remember them and forget where I'm at when I wake up. But today I forgot about my dreams and had no confusion about where I was when I woke up.

Did anyone ever stop long enough to figure out that providing a mentally incompetent person with a medical device..... with no Rx or even a clear diagnosis and indication of it's necessity, COULD legally be construed as practicing medicine without a license ? I'm not sure but, I'd guess that for certain individuals with certain medical conditions, the use or misuse of a "pap" device could conceivably cause harm to their health ? Might just put the dispenser of that device squarely on the same Group W bench as the Ambien pusher, yes ? Postitnote It seems a little odd that Enchanter's number one enabler has been conspicuously absent and unavailable to address his incessant, energy-sucking neediness for almost a month now, I wonder what might have precipitated that development. (also odd..... is the choice of that name by someone that's so helpless and bewildered, in my opinion) A music/dance reference was made in an earlier post regarding Enchanter's masterful puppeteering activities, I get the distinct impression that............ the jig may finally be up ! PS: try not to take things too seriously, it's bad for the body's gastrointestinal functions. Happy Sunday !

Excellent point, Gasper. (But FWIW, I believe all of this is a hoax.) I posted this weeks ago, but I invite everyone to Google the word enchanter. I think it's very revealing.

WTF does that mean? You're a woman (or so you say), and so am I. Are people not to take us seriously because we're female??? Shame on you! You sound like Bobby Riggs decades ago (who wound up having his [tennis] balls handed to him by Billie Jean King).

Equality sure has a long way to go with statements like this (from another woman, no less).

It's 8:12 am and I haven't slept a wink. Just having a hard time adjusting to the CPAP. My sleep is at an all time low. I'm not sleeping. And even when I do get to sleep I wake up. So I don't see how this is supposed to be the solution for me to sleep better.

All this stuff about me being different usernames is childish and a waste of time. You're only kidding yourself by entertaining that idea. Julie already spoke to me. Not everyone in the world is a troll.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do. You don't understand.
My Current Therapies
- CPAP + Humidifier
- Allergy Shots + nose Spray + Hepa Air Purifier
- Cardiovascular Exercise + Stretching

Enchanter, I hesitate to say anything to you, but your next step seems so simple. Just do what many, many people on here keep telling you to do..... over and over! Get the appropriate prescription and use the diagnosis that the Dr. prescribes for you and that the DME sets up for you. Then and only then will you be sure CPAP does not work.

I too, fooled around with another machine before getting my appropriate prescription. I got nowhere. My true settings were so different from what I was using it was ridiculous. Keep playing with the settings if you like, at least you should be getting used to a mask.

so let me get this straight-- Enchanter, someone you have never met, sent you pills in the mail, and you took them?

Usernames are usernames and nothing more.



Sonnyboy is the name of my cat. I have said this before on this forum.
Usernames are not meant to identify personal characteristics such as gender, age, occupation, etc.

Personally I am against suggesting or providing medications to anyone unless you are licensed to do so, but particularly to Enchanter who portrays himself as not able to make decisions, problems solve, read a manual, etc.

Rather than suggest one sleep aide, suggest 3 and let Enchanter make his own decision on which one is best for him. He likely can not do

this.

It is a nice sunny Sunday here in California.
Discussing Postitnote's and Enchanter's issues is not interesting.
I am going outside and have some fun.
