    Parasites?

    And there's today's famous Pork worm. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed in a 2012 deposition that a parasitic worm had entered his brain and "ate a portion of it". The worm was identified as a pork tapeworm larva, specifically Taenia solium, which can cause neurocysticercosis, a brain infection...

    Hello, I'm new here.

    Welcome Elowen. I really enjoyed your post and relate to much of the lifestyle. The quiet life with nature and gardening! Finding the "why" was very liberating to me also. Explained so much. I was diagnosed in my mid 50's. And finding this forum was the ideal place to connect with others and...

    Too private

    I never liked being asked personal questions. Especially when they want an explanation as to why I do or don't want this or that in my life. Sometimes a simple yes or no answer is all they get. And it always makes me uptight when I have to make contact with people coming into my home. Visitors...

    Comedy

    I enjoy this way also. I call them "zingers." A brief example: I'm not one who loves modern tech such as smart phones being used for everything and such. I started to pay the cashier at Walgreens one day with my debit card. The box you do so with had several different choices on how to use it...

    The Isthmus

    I read the story in a spiritual context. One side is the people who want and are bound to the physical world due to earthly desires. The other side is the spirit world and those who have broken free from the chains that bind them to materiality or never knew them to start with. The man has...

    Autism and Poetry

    One of mine published in the spring 1992 CFIDS Chronicle Journal. Written in a time of depression. There's a gap in my mind In space and in time, A bridge to re-connect. But where do I start, to find all the parts My mind cannot recollect. Suspended between, my goals and my means, I haven't...

    How do you deal with fear of the inevitable?

    Spend as much time with her as possible. This is how I handled the inevitable when my mother's time had come. Some of my last and endearing memories was of the two of us just sitting, quiet, holding her hand. You may find a lasting memory in doing so that doesn't fade. The one I found that will...

    The earth from a distance

    I saw this. Always getting astronomy and astrophysics in my newsfeeds. I was in University when Star Trek the motion picture was made depicting Voyager aka V-ger coming back looking for its creator. Great movie. Love all things Star Trek. Rather puts things into perspective compared to infinite...

    My genetics have betrayed me.

    My dad had no grey hair when he passed at age 86. Beard was white. Mom started getting silvers at age 25. It still was half white and half black when she passed at age 86. I've been turning grey slowly since around age 45. I'm letting it grow out now at age 68. Always colored it with henna...

    Meditating Dog

    All animals can teach us a lot of things if we take the time to pay attention. Even though I am a cat person, as if no one could tell, I feel very connected with all of our animal friends. Especially birds and cats. I've learned a lot by observation and connectedness with all creatures. Humans...

    Apples survey!

    I ticked OK. That's how I feel about apples. I rarely buy them for general eating. I prefer to drink apples. Juice and ciders. I don't like apple pie. Fresh, raw and the ones on the tangy side when I do occasionally eat them.

    Algorhithms

    This is an explanation I like: An algorithm is a procedure used for solving a problem or performing a computation. Algorithms act as an exact list of instructions that conduct specified actions step by step in either hardware- or software-based routines. Algorithms are widely used throughout all...

    Geek or nerd?

    Reading the set of Encyclopedias was something I did by the age of twelve. Always had an insatiable need for knowledge. I would consider your need for meditation on the nerd side because of the knowledge interest. It isn't something like gaming. I also found the need for daily meditation by the...
