I am now down to 55 mg of Methadone and trying to get off as fast as I can because I am catching a LOT of flack from doctors and it has made me gain a ton of weight (cravings for sweets). Since I am originally from NYC, each borough (Manhattan, Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island) has their own television recording studio where anyone (even my own cousin) can have a show! Manhattan is the largest of the 5 and you can view it at www.mnn.org It stands for Manhattan Neighborhood Network. I would guess that www.bnn.org would take you to B'klyn. or Bx. You can view all the stations on regular TV or on the internet. Over the past two weeks MNN has had some internet trouble but my cousin tells me it should be over with shortly. You can pick a subject and it will tell you when it is on, such as: Sexuality/Gender, Politics, Local News, Entertainment, and etc. Saw the post about your leg.............I am glad it is over with for you. I guess I can read it later and see what happened to your maintainance methadone program (MMP). Perhaps you should do what I did 6 years ago and go up to 140mg/day and have to use 4X4 (4 wheel drive) in my explorer when I would doze off and wind up in a cornfield (Midwest) or fall asleep on the "F" train and wind up at Coney Island (NYC). Glad to find you still on line and Creeqe Alley still up :) EAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-22020122637150740752008-08-20T02:48:00.000+01:002008-08-20T02:48:00.000+01:00It's sad that she's blind, but at least it's not s...It's sad that she's blind, but at least it's not something worse.
