I am still feeling good! I can't tell you the difference in sleeping now that my bones are back to a more normal state. I actually had a full night sleep without having to turn over every few minutes because I had become sore and my arms were numb and I woke up when I was rested rather than when I couldn't stand the pain of laying there any longer. Hopefully, I am now over my great fear of chiropractors. It isn't a fear without reason, I know several people who were totally screwed up by bad chiropractors, so I may just go to that same doctor next time my bones get out of whack.
I have to say that my back and neck problems illustrate how humans can get used to and put up with just about anything. To me that seemed just normal and although it did cause me to lose a lot of sleep, it seemed like no big deal, just part of life that I had to put up with. I will say that we as humans become that way about many things, our government is a good example, they fuck up so badly and so often that we just accept that as part of life. Wars, disease, poverty, smog, corruption and downright evil, we accept it all as the way life is, even though it isn't the way life has to be. Just like my back and neck problems, we figure there is probably nothing that we can do to fix it and anything we try to do may end up causing more harm. It is hard to see beyond that at times, we feel defeated before we even try. Sadly, it is probably just human nature to be that way, but we must see beyond that too.
Yes, I feel renewed right now. I feel as though I could fight the great deception we humans accept as reality. How long that feeling will last, it is hard to say. Probably it will last until I am lulled once again into a form of defeatism that our species seems to be prone to. Ah, but it is wondrous while it lasts!

I'm glad that you are feeling better, Lesley. My S/o has exactly the same back problems and sleeping problems that you had, she really needs to see a chiropractor. As far as politics goes, Americans really seem to like the status quo. Just look at the recent Republican and Democratic debates. All these candidates do is rattle off the same old party mantras that people expect them to spout. Regardless of whether these mantras actually work or not, people are comfortable with the familiarity of these party creeds, and thus they keeping voting for the same dunderheads each election cycle. Anyway, I'm glad you are feeling better. Also, have you seen that Sci-Fi show Ghosthunters? What's your opinion on that?

I so agree with you about parties. People don't bother to think for themselves, they do just rattle off what their party believes and never spend any time actually considering whether or not they truly feel that way. I think many of them know that they don't really feel that way, but they care more about their party than what is right.
I don't watch ghosthunters every week, but I have caught it a few times and enjoyed it. In general I am not a big believer in ghosts, at least not as spirits of the dead. I like to think of ghosts more as recordings in time.
I think that's probably the case. I think what people call ghosts are left over energy that for whatever reason is stuck in a certain time sequence. After all, if I were dead, why the heck would want to spend eternity wandering around an old building or some other lousy place that I had to put up with while alive?
