Hi folks. Thank you for the warm welcomes.
Kritters - on seeing god... hmm, how to put this... in pursuit of a goal, when some part of the process of attaining that goal s - t - r - e - t - c - h - e - s us to our limits and can require one to summons inner strength usually reserved for only the most life-threatening moments, the experience often consits of an unusual combination of pain-relief-joy; immediately followed by total exhaustion, and on special occasion, visual abnormalities and strong light-headedness. That's what I mean by seeing god. Make any sense?
Pat - i too get the feeling that there is a morgie stronghold up in my sinuses.
Flu shots? Never had one. Never will. Never get the flu (knock on wood).
Jonsi - that is an underepresented viewpoint - that our immune systems are doing just fine. I agree that it's entirely possible that we're simply up against a formidable opponent and the fact that it isn't killing us is a testament to the strength of our immune systems. In support of this, I can say that prior to 2003 my immune system and my bodies regenerative abilities were nothing short of amazing. Wounds healed so fast I was suprised i couldn't see the new tissue appearing with my naked eye. Illnesses consisted of getting the feeling I might be comming down with something and that's it. I consider this to be the result of beyond a daily shower, I have never been concerned with avoiding bugs/bacteria. I'll be around anyone, eat virtually anything, and am a little neglectful about hand washing - and until morgs, through massive drug addictions, smoking, and poor diet, my health was never a problem or issue.
RaeinCo - if i'm understanding correctly, I'll say yes. what I'm referring to are things that basically have been a part of me for quite some time and are in the process of being even further broken down by me and whatever other organisms.
Gator - yeah, we'll just have to wait and see. i'll keep posting as things develop of course.
love to all of you!
