wishing you well and offering my sympathy if you've ever experienced vertigo.
my neighbor is a physical therapist and told me about the epley maneuver, which i am now researching.. have you ever been through this hell of total incapacitation?.
Greetings, bobcat, LisaRose, nonjwspouse, and Sail Away, and thanks for sharing your experiences. They have been very helpful.
When I first experienced vertigo, some 13 years ago, I had no idea what put me on the floor, unmovable, for 10 hours. A friend brought me Dramamine, which helped. I don't even know how I contacted my friend -- the phone was dead.
Doc said it was a virus.
Appreciate your concern . . .
"charisma is a certain quality of an individual personality by virtue of which the person is set apart from ordinary people and treated as exceptional".
as a kid i was afraid of such charisma, as it was usually the quality i noticed elders, head masters, and parents had to exercise with unloving authority over me.. but now i think about it "charisma" doesn't need be only for people with authority.
" charisma" is something even we can have?
Yes, FHN, some individuals are alluring in spite of their plain looks (or unattractive looks).
Remember Fanny Brice's "My Man"?
"He's no hero out of books, and not much for looks, my man . . . but I love him so. . . ."
dear budgetarian grocery-buyers,.

Thanks, Nancy and LifesNotOver:
So kind of you to reply and send good wishes.
My head has ceased spinning when I lie down. I'm mobile again. This, my longest bout ever, was some 24 hours.
Your type of long-term episodes, LNO and Nancy, were brought to my attention today by a friend who was out of action for 2 months. Of course, it's brought on by different medical reasons. Your ear and sinus infections were the reasons for what you both described. So sorry!
Grateful for dear friends like you . . .

That's you, FHN!
Nicely and honestly stated. You're radiant but neither overpowering nor intimidating!
Love . . .
we know he was faithful to frederick franz (or frederick franz was faithful to him).. we know he was discreet because so little is known about him today.
for example, we know that he was in the writing department (even though he never professed to being a jw), that wore expensive jewelry and that he was frederick franz spokesman (or did i get that backwards?)....
also, much has been said about salihs strange hebrew-to-english bible translations (supposedly used by frederick franz when writing certain wt articles) and several illuminati and/or freemason conspiracy theories have been analyzed, yet this guy has managed to slip under the radar almost completely unnoticed by all jws and will probably be completely forgotten in just a few years.. so, who really is the faithful and discreet natheer salih?
You're correct, Nathan Natas:
I was not considering all the possibilities. My name is so unusual, however, that my internet search indicates none another that myself. Back to the OP, I do know one of the Mr. Salihs!
I appreciate the point you have made.

Will search you thread, James Mixon!

Greetings, The Rebel:
Whatever makes one attractive to others -- looks, manner, intellect, talent -- can be boon or bane to the holder. In many a situation, a friendly, outgoing individual may capture the heart of another individual (or, many) and be quite incapable of reciprocating in the measure the starstruck one expects.
Onstage as a performer for many years, I have a little experience with audiences. They can love you but forget you once you're offstage. Or, they may hate you from the start. It's a difficult road to hoe, that of a performer.
It's like the adoring masses who worship a public figure and see only the outside. What would it be like to live with that "beautiful" person?
Anyway, mon ami, that's an aspect of charisma, as I perceive it.
I always enjoy reading you . . .

Best . . .
i was thinking about how many of us here are either being shunned or know someone who is being shunned.
although highly unlikely, it would be wonderful if this horrible practice was completely eliminated.. i know we have the wt victims memorial day in the summer, but does anyone know of any grassroots sort of movement to have a jw break the silence day on shunning?
we could encourage and promote for all jw's who have a df'd friend or family member to contact that person on that day--maybe even with the excuse that they need to check on them.. i know that it won't demolish the shunning policy, but at least a day like this could shed some light on the harmful practice to those outside the jw community as well as providing an unofficial designated day for jws to reach out to those they're shunning.
The 'powers that be' would have an apoplectic! -- Tallon
An apoplectic apologetic apocalyptic apologist . . . quite a conundrum!
Yes, an unshun, fun day in the sun would be wonderful.
Sorry . . .
