We've all heard the stories about how the writers would go grab fans camped outside the studios when they needed "help" with the story continuity, but (nothing against the great writers) that does seems pretty inept for writers not to even keep up with the details of their own show... Not being forward thinking enough to realize there was syndication for the next 50 years!

MB the possibilities are endless for sure!!

Gabriel was allergic to them

Magnus, I can truly not imagine this forum without you sir! You have challenged my wit and brain! (Things that I tend to lose occasionally) And made me crack the hell up on many occasions.  I'm very glad you are still with us.

I too have had extreme lows of my medical woes and personal life tragedies, but this forum has been a true godsend for me. It's probably the deepest and most personal record of who I've been for the past 11 years or so. The crazy stuff I read in posts I did so many years ago helps me remember the humor I was/am using constantly to prevent the darkness from creeping in again. An incredible microcosm indeed, of at least two former versions of myself. The high point and low point(s) and the now point. (In the middle again)

Putting a number on those years just made me realize that it coincided with another milestone bad event. I already knew DS was my emotional crutch in many ways, but it speaks volumes that it's really my escape from that other pain I needed to rid my psyche of (or just trudge through until it got better somehow.)  As with a lot of things in life, DS means diff things to diff people. For me, this forum and DS in general is just a big part of the fabric of who I am, and who I'll probably always be. Pretty out-there stuff I know...

Unbelievable that a TV show I started watching in the early 80s (yes, I'm slightly younger that some of you youngins! ) had such an impact on me. I have read similar stories here about the role DS has played in people's emotional well-being or the escape we needed from the bad sh*t. It's definitely not as bad as all that sounds for sure... At least now I can see a bright light at the top of Quentin's stairway, so I can at least see that what I'm aiming for is within reach again. 

Special shout out to Uncle Rog and MB for keeping me constantly smiling also!!  And an extra one to MB for giving me a new appreciation for bashing Roger Davis tooooo!! I will do my best to get back into the habit of checking back more that I have very recently.
