My idea for the forum is: I'd like a new (Technical) board that caters to "how does it work round here" questions. Why I think it's needed: I began a thread about one topic but it's now turning into a discussion about something different. Plus, it's on the General board but it seems to me the discussion now sites more naturally on the Medication board. I want to ask: What's the etiquette with this thread? Should I update the title so it correctly reflects the subject, then carry on? If I carry on, is there a way for me to move the thread to Medication? Or should I allow it to die where it is, and start another thread altogether? I don't see anywhere suitable to ask these questions which is why I think a new board might be a good idea. Thanks! (Oh - and I'm rather hoping for an answer to my questions if poss )

there's stop smokong service in boots and lloyds chemist - its just a quick questionaire and blowing in one of them things then you get your patches for the week was it can't rem now - i used it when i gave up and then when 8 weeks was up got my daughter and few of her friends to go in and do it so i had patches from them for 8 weeks . do you know any one who could do that for you ? oooo just realised i can do it for you will try and sort an appointment before thurs hopefully they'l fit me in - will ask dd to do it as well - but she's not very reliable when it comes to keeping appointments - i got to know the guy that was doing it and he quite relaxed - he let me have the patches for ten weeks the second time i did it so fingers crossed xx

I'm so used to being in the wrong wrt social skills and etiquette that I almost never participate in any kind of community. Getting shouted down / constantly corrected / patiently smiled at while being tolerated all the time is never good for your self esteem. The potential freedom to just relax and not worry about it on this forum is rather heady (and scary)! Just the thought that perhaps I don't have to analyse and rephrase every sentence 15 times before I reply just in case I cause offence is actually bringing tears to my eyes. jan Wrong thread, I think Hope it works out for whomever you thought you were talking to!

jan Wrong thread, I think Hope it works out for whomever you thought you were talking to! Yes. having just said we derail threads, it's usually just a carriage or two, not the whole train. Glad you're feeling at home Persephone. Just relax and be yourself.
