Does anyone know if this has validity? - Page 2 - PassPorter - A Community of Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, and General Travel Forums
As of January 1, 2019, we have closed our forums. This is a decision we did not come to lightly, but it is necessary. The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk. The server software itself must be updated, and it cannot be without removing the forums.
So it is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our long-running forums. They came online in 2000 and brought together so many wonderful Disney fans. We had friendships form, careers launch, couples marry, children born ... all because of this amazing community.
Thank you to each of you who were a part of this community. You made it possible.
And a very special thank you to our Guides (moderators), past and present, who kept our forums a happy place to be. You are the glue that held everything together, and we are forever grateful to you. Thank you aliceinwdw, Caldercup, MrsM, WillCAD, Fortissimo, GingerJ, HiddenMickey, CRCrazy, Eeyoresmom, disneyknut, disneydani, Cam22, chezp, WDWfan, Luvsun, KMB733, rescuesk, OhToodles!, Colexis Mom, lfredsbo, HiddenMickey, DrDolphin, DopeyGirl, duck addict, Disneybine, PixieMichele, Sandra Bostwick, Eeyore Tattoo, DyanKJ130, Suzy Q'Disney, LilMarcieMouse, AllisonG, Belle*, Chrissi, Brant, DawnDenise, Crystalloubear, Disneymom9092, FanOfMickey, Goofy4Goofy, GoofyMom, Home4us123, iamgrumpy, ilovedisney247, Jennifer2003, Jenny Pooh, KrisLuvsDisney, Ladyt, Laughaholic88, LauraBelle Hime, Lilianna, LizardCop, Loobyoxlip, lukeandbrooksmom, marisag, michnash, MickeyMAC, OffKilter_Lynn, PamelaK, Poor_Eeyore, ripkensnana, RobDVC, SHEANA1226, Shell of the South, snoozin, Statelady01, Tara O'Hara, tigger22, Tink and Co., Tinkerbelz, WDWJAMBA, wdwlovers, Wendyismyname, whoSEZ, WildforWD, and WvuGrrrl. You made the magic.
We want to personally thank Sara Varney, who coordinated our community for many years (among so many other things she did for us), and Cheryl Pendry, our Message Board Manager who helped train our Guides, and Ginger Jabour, who helped us with the PassPorter-specific forums and Live! Guides. Thank you for your time, energy, and enthusiasm. You made it all happen.
There are other changes as well.
Why? Well, the world has changed. And change with it, we must. The lyrics to "We Go On" for IllumiNations say it best:
We go on to the joy and through the tears
We go on to discover new frontiers
Moving on with the current of the years.
We go on
Moving forward now as one
Moving on with a spirit born to run
Ever on with each rising sun.
To a new day, we go on.
It's time to move on and move forward.
PassPorter is a small business, and for many years it supported our family. But the world changed, print books took a backseat to the Internet, and for a long time now it has been unable to make ends meet. We've had to find new ways to support our family, which means new careers and less and less time available to devote to our first baby, PassPorter.
But eventually, we must move on and move forward. It is the right thing to do.
So we are retiring this newsletter, as we simply cannot keep up with it. Many thanks to Mouse Fan Travel who supported it all these years, to All Ears and MousePlanet who helped us with news, to our many article contributors, and -- most importantly -- to Sara Varney who edited our newsletter so wonderfully for years and years.
And we are no longer charging for the Live Guides. If you have a subscription, it's yours to keep for the lifetime of the Live Guides at no additional cost. The Live Guides will stay online, barring server issues and technical problems, for all of 2019.
That said, PassPorter is not going away. Most of the resources will remain online for as long as we can support them, and after that we will find ways to make whatever we can available. PassPorter means a great deal to us, and to many of you, and we will do our best to keep it alive in whatever way we can. Our server costs are high, and they'll need to come out of our pockets, so in the future you can expect some changes so we can bring those costs down.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your amazing support over the years. Without you, there's no way us little guys could have made something like this happen and given the "big guys" a run for their money. PassPorter was consistently the #3 guidebook after the Unofficial and Official guides, which was really unheard of for such a small company to do. We ROCKED it thanks to you and your support and love!
If you miss us, you can still find some of us online. Sara started a new blog at DisneyParkPrincess.com -- I strongly urge you to visit and get on her mailing list. She IS the Disney park princess and knows Disney backward and forward. And I am blogging as well at JenniferMaker.com, which is a little craft blog I started a couple of years ago to make ends meet. You can see and hear me in my craft show at https://www.youtube.com/c/jennifermaker . Many PassPorter readers and fans are on Facebook, in groups they formed like the PassPorter Trip Reports and PassPorter Crafting Challenge (if you join, just let them know you read about it in the newsletter). And some of our most devoted community members started a forum of their own at Pixie Dust Lane and all are invited over.
So we encourage you to stay in touch with us and your fellow community members wherever works best for you!

Iodine is used in manufacturing meth, so it is quite possible that it was the cause of your dreams. It just depends on how much was present in the crab you ate. We get a lot of fresh crab around here (my dad catches it at my parents' beach house) but I have never had such a reaction.

just how much wasabi did you eat with them, though?
My soy looks more green than brown by the time I'm done spicing it up! If my sinuses don't want to pull a fire alarm after one bite, it's not enough wasabi. But you want to know the strange thing...? It's the only spice I like. I cringe at the idea of most mild salsas but boy howdy do I love that red hot burn of wasabi!

I'm so jealous of those who said they eat crab every week! I've never had a reaction like that before- did you write down your psychedelic dreams?
I live right near the docks in a ocean resort town so that is why I get to eat them so much...I get them for like 25.00 a bushal when everyone else is paying 100.00 a bushal. What is that old saying...It is good to have friends in low places!!! Got to love people that can give you a deal.

We get Dungeness crab for free right in front of my parents' beach house. So we eat it as often as we want as long as dad is catching it and bringing it over. I gasp everytime I see what it costs in the stores.

As long as I continue to enjoy breathing and maintaining an open airway I can't eat crab either!. Lobster on the other hand... The only reaction I've ever had from eating crab wasn't very pleasant, and I'll leave it at that.
Akleos...you sound like a girl after my own heart...my ahir has to be on fire for my wasabi to be enough!
I wasabi, and I have been eating crab all my life, first had lobster at age 3, never had any wacky dreams, but perhaps I have built up a tolerance to the Iodine.
There are several steps to turn iodine or any other nomal items (sudafed etc) into meth. I work for law enforcement and often have dealings with our drug unit. It's not difficult, but also not easy to make the stuff. Somehow I would doubt that iodine was the cause of your dreams unless for some reason you are becoming allergic to it. I just donated blood today and they asked is I was allergic to iodine. Didn't realize this could be a problem.

I managed to find a hazardous materials warning sheet for iodine - lots of bad stuff can happen if you're exposed to huge dosages, but no mention of dreams or hallucinations.
I really doubt you could get enough iodine from the amount of crab in a California roll to have any kind of adverse reaction. Iodine tastes really bad in larger amounts, so you'd probably have stopped eating it. I also don't think any kind of seafood can concentrate enough of it in its tissue to pose a hazard to others - it'd have to filter a huge amount of seawater and develop an immunity to something that would kill a one-pound creature like a crab far quicker than it's likely to harm a human weighing over 100 lbs. Stranger things have happened in the deep blue sea, though.
