Give yourself credit for anything you've done right!

[sg1008]

I really dislike the word credit nowadays. I associate it with a sinister evil dark hole filled with flesh devouring insects and never ending sounds of ringing phones, elevator music, and voices saying "options" and "press 1".

 Found a stack of credit/debit cards and a 5 and 20 dllar bill folded neatly on top also a driver's license.  Thought it was my moms. It was some guys. He is a student here so I ave it to the security guy who ound him because his cards had his name on it. He got his stuff returned. My mom wanted me to leave it there but I said someone mght steal it.

I have found two fat fuzzy "Woolly Bear" caterpillars crawling into harm's way in the past week,
and have rescued them and set them down in the grass.  They look like the picture below.

I have never seen caterpillars like that before.

Not sure if I have written this before, but I signed up and have been accepted as a bone marrow donor. Got a card for it too (which I have misplaced during moving). I found out something interesting; if I donate bone marrow, I can't donate again for another 2 years.

  Donating lifesaving marrow is a great service.  Maybe it takes the marrow two years to rebuild after donation?

I think that is the case. Also, the extraction process involves general anaesthetic.

Wow Ren, I don't think I am brave enough to donate bone marrow, just like that.

I am taking credit for writing a letter though.
Wrote one to a very good friend of my brother. I found an article that I thought would interest him, and wrote a letter to go with it.
On BD's, my brother, his friend and his wife, and I, tend to find a place of our own, to have great conversations.

It has been way too long, that I sat down to write a letter, using pen and paper. I liked it. And, as usual, I put some theme stamps on the envelope. This time with quotations and pictures of Dutch writers.

Today, I think I figured out how to use the other brain hemisphere without destroying the important circuitry.

Either that, or it is damaged :/

[Pyraxis]

The other? As in the right hemisphere?

[神]

No, the left one. I used to just overpower the right one, but it couldn't take it anymore.

Using both hemispheres for the same things is pretty weird.

[renaeden]

I didn't know you could direct your (in the general sense) brain as to what hemisphere to use. Am I getting something wrong here?

No, you're not.

I got thoroughly wet in the rain

I claim to be roughly aware of my brain activity and to react according to it, with zero evidence to support that.

Though, there is neuro feedback training and it shows that you can learn to influence your brainwaves and change if areas get activated given that you are aware of it (by the technology, like PET scans and EEGs).
