lol. I have no objection to the turn the thread has taken.

Can I just add my well wishes regarding medical tests to both of you, Sheryl & Michaela. Despite being in the profession I still have a dread of procedures. I am so pleased you found some solace in NMCD, Sheryl, I wish I could hear it over here.

You're right, totally off topic.

What about starting a new thread about our health and diseases?

Hmmm, sorry my example involved sharing a personal story.

I always believed that if you couldn't share things with friends, who could you share them with? Well, I'm even more guilty of being off topic. So sorry to those of you I've offended by straying.


-------------

Cause I'm livin' on things that excite me,
Be they pastries or lobsters or love;
I'm just tryin' to get by being quiet and shy,
In a world full of pushin' and shove.

I wish I had something more uplifting to share, but I'm afraid the only personal story I have associated with a song is how Take It to the Limit made me smile when I was so frustrated at how horribly I was doing in my freshman advanced math. I felt like a failure and was pretty much depressed every time I cracked open the book, but as I tried desperately to figure out how to take limits in equations, I hummed the song to myself and it cheered me up. I managed to pull a C in the course, by the way.

Oh oh, I have the feeling you've get me wrong. As to my post about the "off topic" I was just kidding. Rather my excuse being off topic.

I don't have any personal stories either except that Learn To Be Still helped me when I stopped working. I do have a POMPOY story, I suppose, speaking of songs growing on me. I suppose POMPOY wasn't that much of a favourite until one afternoon when I was driving home (still working at that stage) and POMPOY came on while I was stuck at traffic lights for a while. I found myself really listening to what he was singing. I realised that he was indeed 'part of me' and as a fan, however distantly, I was 'part of him'. I had to stop myself from crying as I drove away, but the song just pulsated through me like he had sent me a message, and I knew then that I was committed to him forever (!). Cue the cheesy strings. It was an epiphany and since then POMPOY has been my favourite soloo song.

Thanks for sharing that, Julie. I'm not normally an emotional person but that brought a lump to my throat. I had a bit of a moment like that listening to I Did It For Your Love a couple of nights ago - so poignant.

Nancy, your maths story made me laugh!

I'm very emotional and that's wonderful FP. Reminds me of the lyric line "what woman can do to your soul". In this case a man.

[sodascouts]

Yes, a lovely story indeed. I guess in a way it's true for all of us here!
