This whole thread is priceless and should be bronzed. Beautiful CF, thanks for that.

hmmm. 9 days since any irreverent humor around here.

Somehow I missed the chick with the balls. (OMG!) so I got a laugh to start my day.

CF, you, too, are awfully quiet. I've been meaning to ask you what it is that I have to do to get an ode? I'd hate to beg, but I'm not above it.

Seethepony, where tf are you??? The last couple of posts have been downright staid. Come on, folks.

Apparently I missed a lot here too! Really glad Redhead quoted CF's limerick else I would have missed it entirely. Absolutely brilliant!!!
I think my favorite lines were:

"Because women are fine
But sheep are divine"

:H :H

Fantastic!

hmmmm.

A couple of days ago I (we) got a polite kiss goodbye from our dear Murphy. I seriously dislike the polite kiss goodbye. I'm not a big fan of the volcanic version of goodbye, either, but then at least you know what's what...

Murphy, if by some chance your sheep-loving, pate-shaving, nature-loving, veggie-eating, pain-in-the-ass Welsh self is still lurking, please know this:

You have seriously pissed me off. (pissed, American meaning angry. Not drunk.)

Whatever is going on in that irascible mind of yours needs to be laid to rest or put aside or something. I desperately miss your humor, in spite of the fact that you kept annoying people with it.

I will even make you a virtual veggie-sandwich if you would please. just. post.

Hey, I never even got a kiss goodbye. Bloody Welsh.

Love and hugs then Murph. Go well.

I'm not letting you go that easily. I want you to come back. I missed the goodbye too. And I expect a kiss goodbye. :upset:

Maybe, you could update your thread and let us know why. I would love a little closure Murph.

I’m taking a break from MWO because I’m tired. I’m tired of going over the same issues again and again without a result and I’m tired of the angry, drunk idiots who feel the need to jump on me whenever I make a post. I just can’t be bothered anymore. I’ve nothing to gain from continuing to post. I found the cure and that’s what I was after. And I can’t be of any use to anyone else when whenever I say anything one of the drunks jumps in, insults me, tries to pick a fight and then the thread becomes about me and not about the important issues.

So I’m taking a break. Those who I am currently corresponding with will be receiving a PM with a contact email addy, because I won’t be picking up PMs regularly.

Before I go, I thought I’d leave you with a list of my answers to the same old questions that keep on coming up, and a few others besides.

Murph’s Baclofen FAQs

Q Does baclofen cure alcoholism?
A Well, I’m not controlled by alcoholic urges anymore. I no longer drink to excess, because my life is no longer ruled by alcohol. I’m not sure if “cure” is the correct term but a rose by any other name…

Q Why do you call yourself a normal drinker?
A Because I decide how much I drink and when. I can stop when I want to stop and I can abstain when I want. Alcohol holds no fear for me.

Q Shouldn’t we wait and see what the long term effects of baclofen are before we start promoting it? Who knows what effect it might have on you in 10 years time.
A I know what the long term effects of alcohol are and I probably wouldn’t have been around in 10 years time without baclofen.

Q Are there any side effects associated with taking baclofen?
A Yes, read MWO. Any page on any thread will be packed full of side effects stories.

Q Thanks. I’ve done that and I’ve got a list as long as my arm. Do you think I’ll get all of those side effects? By the way, I am a hypochondriac.
A Yes, you probably will, and you’ll probably discover a few new ones. But think of the fun you’ll have telling people about them.

Q I’ve heard that baclofen might make my hair greasy. Do you think I should risk it?
A No! What’s the point of sobriety if you have greasy hair?

Q Hey, I’m like sooooooo into my looks and I’ve heard baclofen might temporarily make my face go a bit saggy. And shit, if that happens my whole life might as well be like, you know, over. And I’m just like, soooooooo not exaggerating here.
A No don’t take baclofen, it’s not worth it.

Q I spend an inordinate amount of time working out in the gym. I really feel the need to have a perfect body so as to look good for men. I’ve heard that baclofen might make me lethargic in the beginning and I won’t be able to work out.
A Well, it certainly is important for a woman to look good…wait…you are a woman right? You didn’t actually say whether you are a man or a woman. This question is making me uncomfortable.

Q Are there any really serious side effects of baclofen?
A Are there are any really serious side effects of alcohol?

Q Hi, I’m a bit mental. Do you think baclofen would be a good choice for me?
A Possibly not. Get your madness sorted out first. Alcoholism probably isn’t your biggest problem.

Q I’m bored and I feel like annoying an online community. Do you think I should start taking baclofen?
A I’m sure you’ll find some kindred spirits here.

Q I’m an incredibly sad person who loves nothing more than talking crap and getting on your nerves. The problem is everyone knows what a buffoon I am and I’ve lost all credibility. What do you think I should do?
A The answer is obvious. You should create another identity and use that one to back up your claims. As you’re fairly intelligent, you should make the new identity seem really stupid, bordering on retarded. Make sure you say things like “dat” instead of “that” and “der” instead of “there” and forget about the rules of grammar and punctuation. No one will ever guess you’re a sock puppet. Honestly.

Q I’m an ugly, small breasted woman and I was wondering…
A Whoa, sorry luv I’ll have to stop you there. Next please.

Q I’m a woman of questionable virtue when drunk. If I stop drinking what will all the creepy men who like to prey on drunk women do? It just doesn’t seem fair on them.
A Good point. I think you’re performing an important service. Stay drunk.

Q Every relationship I’ve ever had started when I was drunk. I’m worried that I might end up alone if I give up the lubrication that drink provides.
A There are better lubricants out there and some of them are flavoured. Strawberry is my favourite.

Q I hate myself for being an alcoholic and want to punish myself. Will baclofen help me do that?
A No, I think you’re looking for AA.

QIs it true baclofen only works for heavy, daily drinkers? Because, in my circle I’m kinda known for my drinking. There was this one time, at band camp, when I necked a whole can of lager and you should have seen what I did with my flute. It was hilarious and basically I now regard myself as an alkie.
A Shut up and go away.

Q If I take baclofen, will I become suave, sophisticated, devilishly handsome and will my wedding tackle grow to gargantuan proportions?
A No, it just stops you drinking. It can’t turn you into me.


So long and thanks for all the fish.

Murph, I will miss your humour. Hope you come back. z

Well done Murph. You're going out with a bang. :H:H I still wanted a goodbye kiss. I thought I was special. I know, don't delude yourself redhead. All the women in Murph's baclo-harem, think their special. Still, I know you love a redhead. I'm going to continue to delude myself. Just sayin. Good luck Murph. I for one am going to miss your chauvenistic, raw, and very filthy humor. I won't have to keep the kids away from the computer anymore, when I lol at pics of hot women with balls and large breasts working on cars.

Since you didn't leave me with a kiss, I will provide one for you. :kissyface:

I will also speak for the harem, cause we all know what you thought about Low possibly bagging two chicks that night. :threekisses:

And just for the official record:

I am fully aware that I fit into one or several of those categories up there.

Me too.

This is my favorite.

Ig, I guess they have bottled the alternative. I'm glad I now know it. :H

Murph-aholics,

I lurked this morning and had to come on one more time.
I have been laughing all damn day and printed this in it's entirety and it is now beside my computer.
On the other hand it is really very sad that the meds thread is losing such a strong advocate for Baclofen. We need people like this. I have fallen several times only to be picked up by such advocates to "try" and believe. It is my body and my thoughts...NO ONE can make me do anything that I DO NOT believe in. It is all our choice to make.
I thank you Murphy and all others like you that have given me hope and reason to keep going. I have seen more alcohol free days since I began Bac on February 14th; More than I have seen in 10 plus years. I am also drinking less and less every time I drink.
They are slowly stringing into more and more consecutive days as I keep taking the damn pills!
And as for fishing, thanks for reeling me in!

Enough said, it's Murphy's thread!

My favorite by the way is:

Q I’m an incredibly sad person who loves nothing more than talking crap and getting on your nerves. The problem is everyone knows what a buffoon I am and I’ve lost all credibility. What do you think I should do?
A The answer is obvious. You should create another identity and use that one to back up your claims.

Anyway my friend, you went out with a bang!

And I, for one, am sitting here with my lighter lit wanting an *encore!

Stay 'normal' my friend (in alcohol only)

Love ya,
Lady:l
