Well, that seems to have worked out well for you. Have you noticed that the desires you had back in the beginning are not the ones you have now? That desires become more modulated, almost like they are virtual, as if they are not quite real, and that only a few actually break surface enough to act on? You seem to cruise through FFL and what people say about you rarely seems to stick. What sort of courses are you taking? Advanced metallurgy? How to make crop circles using common garden implements and atomic fusion? Pulse diagnosis using time-slice topographic laser mapping (that means you do not have to touch the person)? I spent part of the day lying on my back in the hospital getting samples extracted from my thyroid. I seem to have spent more time around hospitals lately, and not just for me. Maybe it is a function of advancing age. Someone close to me had a ruptured appendix. Now afterwards, friends mentioned they had friends or family that also had ruptured appendices (one each) and had died. Fortunately this turned out OK for my person, but people often delay thinking something else is wrong, and much to their surprise, they no longer exist. I can relate. I, too, have had fine needle aspirations of my thyroid and although they did not indicate cancer they did need to take a goodly amount of the real thing to determine if those nodules were indeed benign. After surgery and losing half my thyroid they eventually figured out that the nodules were benign but in the meantime I need to take thryroxin to supplement my poor half a thryroid gland. Thyroids are very persnickety.
