Don't ever apologize for not responding, I think thats the one thing everyone on the board should forgive, sometimes just making it over to that computer--
nevermind thinking of something to worthwhile to say is just too much. I'm overwhelmed and funky, but hopeful today, (new medication) so bear with me I'm trying to be clear.What you said about my writing was a real life brightener, thank you Roo.
Or were you hinting that if I had pursued creative writing I wouldn't post so much here?
Just kidding I'm not that sensitive! (well not today anyway)
However I think the "drawstring in the stomach" was not my original analogy, I read it somewhere and it being such an apt description it stuck with me.
I actually do write quite a bit, but I'm rarely able to finish what I've started. And I'm sure you'll understand that being a victim of drastic perception changes means something I've done that looks good, I'll think looks pitiful a day later, and I never really know which one is "real"I wish I could offer a suggestion about the acupuncture, I've been stumped by that myself. I know that you need more than one treatment, but I thought "what if I go a few times and spend the money, think its not working and then stop, always wondering if I'd just stuck it out maybe it would have worked? Or spending all that money and find out It didn't work anyway?
An interesting scientific study I read about showed that we store memories in areas other than the brain. I've heard that theorized before but never read about it being tested before,it adds a fascinating reason as to why massage, and accupuncture can be so effective.The actual study was done to research P.T.Stress disorder. Veteran Vietnam soldiers were hooked up to a polygraph to measure the intensity of their brains reaction to films of the war.
7 miles away cells that had been scraped from the inside of their mouths were placed on another electrode. The result was that the electrodes connected to the mouth cells registered exactly as much excitation from the traumatic films
as did the the electrodes registering the brains reactivity.
I hope I made that readable. I can't find the exact article but I remember that it was backed up with enough research to make it as factual as anything we can reasonably trust. It was in Deepak Chopra's ageless body, timeless mind.
A Chinese Dr. told me that accupuncture done properely is virtually alway effective, but to never just pick a name out of the phone book.
The practioner should be researched as thoroughly as you would a surgeon, because there are very few who are gifted in it.
Its not something you can be 'sort of good at' It has to be exact or there is no point at all.Ooh another long one, I always try too hard to make sure people know that I'm really careful about where I get my information from because there are so many 'flaky' claims made.
Sorry about that,
I definately have to learn how to be more precise.
I hope I didn't just add to your overwhelmed feeling.
A disordered post from a well-meaning Gabbi..I've already revised this four times so I refuse to re read this one, I'm going to hope for the best and press submit.
P.S
It sounds to me though that you already DO know that documentary studies interest you.
