You are welcome, it was fun!

:) heh heh heh.. but you did not say buckethead? Sounds like it
would have been therapeutic. :)

Actually it is more effective spoken deadpan, while looking him
straight in the eye. If you yell it, he will decide you are a hysterical
fem, and probably suggest a hysterectomy to cure the hysteria.
No joke, that is how "hysterectomy" got it's name. Victorian cure for
female "emotional problems."

My friend used to call them "Gods in white coats".. with a cynical tone.

yes, there are decent men in the world. (Hugs for Jasper.)
Sometimes when I am annoyed with the paternal patronizers, druid tells
me "I apologise of behalf of my gender." :) Cute!

Well.. previously I spoke of throat blockage issues, and you spoke
of choosing to speak from spirit.. laudable, but maybe your humanity wants
a voice. Maybe it wants to say "Fuck off, I know what I am talking about,
buckethead!" :)

He didn't know, so instead he gave you a lecture about something
quite unrelated. There is a Canadian comedy show called "Red Green" and
they have a talk show session titled "Experts", about the three words men
cannot say:
"I don't know." LOL!

Well.. a few years ago I tore an intercostal muscle, coughing from a
very bad flu. I was in pain, but in very good spirits because I was
offering gratitude for it and flying on endorphins. The examining Doctor
(who was very nice) poked the spot I told him about and I screamed, quite
spontaneously. He fell over himself apologizing, but I was not upset about
it.. at least he got a good diagnosis about how much it hurt. :)

Yes! It is like Kung Fu, you have to practice to train the reflexes,
so you don't freeze like a deer in headlights, the next time you are faced
with some patronizing, pompous idiot (of either gender, Norma..) who is
treating you like a know nothing child.
>Well, this email certainly was rambly and all over the place.
Sometimes those are the best kind.. so very human!
