My teeth never hurt so there is that; I got the dental work done in time to prevent that. But there was a delay as the dentist I had for over 15 years had a stroke just one day before he was to do the repair work. I waited to see if he was going to be able to recover, but intuition told me not to wait any longer 2 months later. So I found a new dentist. A good thing as 3 things were going on. 1: the cracked filling had gone through completely by then and there was a cavity underneath, so big repair with crown number 1. On another tooth, the filling had begun to pull away from the teeth, resulting in another internal cavity, so big repair number 2. Each required 3 hours worth of dental work. The xray the new dentist took spotted a shadow in my jaw so she referred me to a specialist for further diagnosis as she suspected a dead nerve and necrotic tooth under a very old crown. She was right and the tooth had very deep curvy narrow roots and the specialist did the root canal (my first one ever) and it took 4 hours. 2 days later I saw my new dentist for the new crown. Things went a bit sideways. First the remains of the old crown just would not come off; that took 2 hours alone. Then they went to make the new crown and it failed. They tried a 2nd time while my dentist made a temp crown just in case (good thing cause it failed again). I was there 3 hours and had to come back the following week, by then the crown was made successfully. Still yet another 90 min work. That much cumulative time in the dental chair with jaw and neck stretched beyond capacity takes a long time to heal.
Oh my, it sounds like you're dealing with some heavy duty emotional processing with that. Is winter still in firm grip where you live? How are you keeping yourself distracted and functioning during everything?
How've you been?
To help you start your exploration of The NSTG, please be sure to visit our official Welcome Thread.
Our NSTG Spring Event is going on now in our Events subforum. No matter your experience level on Gaia, this is a great opportunity to make new friends and win some great prizes; we hope to see you there!
I tend to go deep and it's much easier there, lol. I'll quote you from there.
Learn to trust your intuition and gut feelings again. Clarity is the key; when needs and emotions get in the way, they distort and hide what it has to share. I trust my intuition above all else and I have great communication with my subconscious levels.
Oh current events..... yeah, distraction is indeed helpful. That and a long term premonition I had that a subsequent one told me when it will happen. Read my profile statement about the dreams. The later one told me things would totally change in 2025, mid year. Trump has always terrified me.... so I wonder what will change?
LOL, mindless suds on TV is a long honored tradition. I tend to other stuff though. Any good intelligent sci fi/fantasy, well written mysteries (wit and humor in the light ones a big bonus), good stories in general and Penn and Teller Fool Us which is just fun. All of which my husband watches with me. Well except the stories that don't have enough action for him.... All I can say is thank goodness for streaming TV given the paucity of quality new shows made in the US in the past 4 years.
It sounds like a similar path a good and brilliant friend of mine took. She embraced it all, went back to not believing anything and eventually stopped waiting. It was so much fun watching her process getting there and we had many long spirited discussions, with lots of confusion as we saw things from supremely different views. And yet in the end, always ended up at the same spot, something which amazes me to this day. It is from her I learned how to speak "new age", a trippy place indeed.
So what do you explore now instead of religious views? In my 20s I ended up exploring them from an anthropological pov.
What caused you to let religion go? It's always interesting the reasons people have for doing so and it is never the same between two people.
It can feel a bit lonely sometimes in a very religious country to walk one's own path.
And oh yeah, we can have fun sharing a visual sense of humor.
Thanks; I know angelic will appreciate it.
A bit about me; not agnostic, nope, supernatural controlling beings don't exist. The universe is wondrous and full of mysteries and I don't need all the answers as to why; I think that's a major cause of religious beliefs. And as you're figuring out, I have a very visual processing style.... ninja
Anyhow, all this is sidetracked. The reason I'm commenting is to let you know the reason so many use 18 point or more fonts in Serenity guild; the owner of both the guild and the thread has advanced glaucoma and is almost completely blind now. She needs it in order to be able to read posts, even with her monitor set to the largest print possible. There are a couple of other visually impaired members in the guild too.
