> Thank, Lar. I do know how to book mark and it works on my machine. It's just the directions on the page about how to post to another board don't make sense to me.
You mean, like moving a reply so that it goes to another board?
When you reply to a post, you get to the "Enter your post" page. Right under where you it says that, the very first line says "Board", and beside that is a pull-down menu. The default item in the menu is the board you're already on, but you can pick a different one from the menu. Just click on the little blue square with the downward arrow, and highlight the board you want to switch to.
When you submit and confirm your post, you'll get a screen with "Thank you for contributing" or something like that. Right there is a hotlink "Here's a link to your post", or similar. Click on it, to go to your post. If you don't do this next part, no one will find your post. It will simply have disappeared into the depths of Babbleland.
When you get to your post, scroll way way down, as far as you can go. The very last bit of text on the page (not something you wrote, something bob's computer puts there) is the URL for the post. (the http://.... part) Highlight the text, and copy it.
Now, go back to board where you first were replying from. Find the post that you redirected, and reply to it again. This time, leave the "Board" part alone (because this is the notification of the change to those people who are reading the original thread), but change the subject line to something like "Redirecting to social", with "add name of previous poster selected". Paste the URL into the message box, and it will show up as a clickable link in your post. Include a little bit of the old conversation, or not, as you prefer, to show some idea of what the redirected conversation was about.

I can give you *book* answers on meds, just so we're clear.

You cheated? He took you off cold-turkey? He should have a complaint filed with the authorities, IMHO. Clonazepam withdrawal can cause life-threatening adverse reactions, if done suddenly after long-term high-dose use.
> Are you on meds?
I don't do well with meds. I finally got my doctor to realize that. I get stronger effects at lower doses than most people, with one exception, the benzodiazepines.
Currently, I'm doing a trial of low-dose selegiline, which is really quite good for my cognition and such, but there are side effects, even at 5 mg. The only other meds I use are for sleep, as I have a primary sleep disorder. I take 30 mg temazepam and 25 mg trimipramine (sedating tricyclic) at bedtime.
