The proliferation of little TV sets when one enters the forums is a bit sad though.

My ex-husband was a nice man in many ways but incredibly needy. Could not stand to be alone. If I had actually had a penny every time he offered me a penny for my thoughts I would be incredibly wealthy!
I practice zen and I think the whole point is that we never find enlightenment.
Enlightenment descends on us like a coup de foudre and stays awhile or goes away again.
Once in sesshin (an extensive and intense group meditation session) I had a moment of total awareness and this unplanned unwanted huge belly laugh just erupted from somewhere down by the soles of my feet while just two tears trickled from my eyes.
I walked around for three days feeling as though I was wearing my skin inside out.
Then the lights dimmed again.
It was an interesting experience.
Just keep living. enlightenment will catch you when you are not looking.
The flower sits, its petals furled, blush pink and waiting for the spring engendered by your touch to light the gentle flame of love; lips gleam with subtle moisture waiting to caress with words, with touch, make contact with the innermost desires, eyelashes flirt quick glances shading eyes that laugh, that sparkle with a message of I want you here, beside me, laughter deep within the throat turns to a moan when you oblige and pick the flower,blooming now, a bright crest of perfection that dissolves to scattered petals slowing heartbeats, single tear as our fingers part.
There are people who cannot comprehend a TV service with just one channel. Even basic service offers several. Except here.
A basic diet used to contain the nutrients in the food we ate, not in the supplements needed to ensure we get more than empty calories.
A basic education meant rich men were taught to read and write. They rest of us had to be satisfied with pictures.
Emoticons are useful in on line communicating, they are a way to provide the missing body language that is a huge part of basic communication. Many on line skirmishes and outright wars are the result of misinterpreted words. If you cannot see the gleam in my eye or the smile, how do you know I am joking?
Things tend to be invented to fill a perceived need. Not a universal need but wide spread enough to make it appealing.
I could live without the polls but they can be entertaining, I like the pictures and the formatting. I preferred the old reply function and don't care for YouTube, yet I am very glad I saw Robert Feynman's Ode to a flower that Trish posted.
My life would have been poorer had it not existed.

it can be tightfisted to quibble over a cup of coffee or a dessert but if you ordered a pasta salad and a coke and everyone else had filet mignon and champagne with all the trimmings I think you are entitled to say something when someone airily says okay that comes to X dollars a piece.
Look beneath the surface of my skin and see the red of passion waiting there look beneath the surface of my eyes and see the cool deep pool for diving in look beneath the surface of my words and see the words themselves reflected look deep beneath the surface of your questions and see the fears you cherish, nestled by your heart
I actually made a big fuss about picking up the whole check, being very naughty (I think I said something along the lines of oh I would never have let you bring me here if I had realised you couldn't afford it!)
I find it totally unacceptable to tell me at the end of the meal how much my "share" of the bill is if he invited me out. If I invite I pay and vice versa unless we agreed beforehand that we were going dutch.
From what you say it sounds as though the doctor was unclear and unhelpful. Get your questions together in writing BEFORE you go to the doctor and sit there until they have all been answered so your mind is comfortable.
I suggest in writing because it is difficult to remember what you want to know when you are in the doctor's office and under extra stress.
As others have said, an aneurism is nothing to take lightly and your blood pressure will not be helped by worrying like this so you need answers.
Don't try to figure out your MRI, it is kind of like a non-mechanic looking under the hood of a car. We don't know what does what.
