  Hi Kiddotan
  
  Thank you for caring!
  
  As I told others, this is a first for me in a decade or so online. It must be because we have all been through the same hell. Whatever the reason, thank you.
  
  Have an excellent weekend. (Is 'excellent' still an acceptable word? probably not)

  Dear Billygoat
  
  God bless you too! May She/He/It (combine the three and you have a new personal pronoun that is not only unhelpful, but inadvertantly funny)
  
  Thank you for caring. However, I'm glad I didnt have the surgery.
  
  Have a great weekend.

  Thank you again Narkissos!
  
  As I said to Blondie, I'm glad I listened to that still small voice of unreasoning paranoia.
  
  Have a very cool weekend.

  Thanks Legolas!
  
  I know you had no idea how much I love bright baloons, so this was a happy happenstance. I used to send messages off on small bundles of helium balloons with my name and address. I lived in Michigan and the furthest I ever got a response from was North Dakota.
  
  I'm glad I didn't have the surgery. The longer I can put it off the better.
  
  Thanks again.

  Greetings Blondie!
  
  Thank you! I'm glad I listened to that still small voice of TOTAL UNREASONING PARANOIA
  and didn't have the surgery!
  
  It would be grand if we could all get together in real life.
  
  Thanks again.

  Dear VM44
  
  Thank you for caring enough to do this. This is an online first for me, in eleven years online. This is the first time I've met folks online who actually cared about the people they interacted with. Maybe it's because we're all former Witnesses. Whatever the cause, it feels good. Thank you again.

  Hi Midget Sasquatch
  
  Hey, keep me posted via PM is you do give the EMF field experiment a try. I'd love to find out what happens.
  
  Prolly the CD's would be a lot cheaper though. ;)

  Hi mt1
  
  You wrote:
  
  "My sense of divinity/spirituality, when it occurs, is in conjunction with numinous landscape and geography, numinous trance music like Dead Can Dance, and the tickle of eureka (Present perfect "I have discovered"), the dopamine of learning unknown knowledge, and anagnorisis, the dopamine of re-learning known knowledge."
  
  
  I've never heard the trance music you're mentioning, but I'll bet it has an effect similar to traditional Hindu/Buddhist chanting, which I enjoy a great deal. A great natural high.
  
  I love how everyone is so different now even though we used to be from the same cookie-cutter.
  
  All the best to you mt1

  Dear Rex
  
  Thanks for posting, even if it is simply to vent your frustration. I'm not your enemy Rex. Never was, never will be. I apologize for being unkind to you, you certainly didn't have it coming. I allowed worry to cloud my head and I was very unkind.
  
  I apologize for seeming to be arrogant. I think both of us could stand to look at ourselves in the mirror a bit. I will if you will!
  
  Take care Rex. I hope for all the best to you. It's been fun crossing swords. I'll be back in a few weeks. See you then.
  
  Nate
