What Are You Thinking About Today?
[Brain] About the miracle of cyberspace and the permanence of internet text. [] About the wonder of modern medicine; the effectiveness of candies like Neurontin (Gabapentin 100 MG) in alleviating the lower leg neuropathy pain and sleep deprivation symptoms of RLS. [] About how the real risk of chemical poisoning from pharmaceutical laboratory discovered remedies lies not in the prescribed pill but in the physician determined dosage strength. [] About human taste buds and how you might crave various things in different chapters of your life. Since sixteen months incarceration at Whitesburg, I can’t seem to get enough vinegar based marinades and dressings, and all things related to citrus and cayenne. [] About how there’s still quite a bit to get done before Christmas with only seventy six golden days to do it in. [] Mostly about my son and daughter (Eric & Heidi) and Shakespeare’s observation that “When a father gives to his son both laugh; and when a son gives to his father, both cry”.
How about you?
I think about tons of things all the time.
* The spinal meningitis outbreak caused by a fungus that lived inside a steroid spinal injection, that should have never been there but an unrelegated "secondary" pharmaceutical lab didn't sterilize the serum properly. Death toll: 11, with about 1,200 cases reported thus far. This one hits home because I occasionally require those spinal injections when my disc swells and lodges itself against my sciatic nerve... I'm just lucky I wasn't affected by that batch because it was distributed in my state. It's just scary to think that if I had a sciatica episode recently, I could be dying of spinal meningitis right now.
* The severe gout attack I'm suffering and how it makes me appreciate the simple ability to just get up and walk.
* The fact that the Mexican Navy just assassinated the #1 boss of the Zetas Cartel in Mexico. He was known as "The Executioner" and for good reason. Pure evil. The guy makes an Islamic Jihadist look like an innocent child.
[Brain]About random number generators and encryption software, and what the secret component is that makes them work. [] About the near universal assumption that 1 + 1 (always) = 2. Seems to me that there are exceptions that consider "unit of measure". One example would be two workers or soldiers who work well together, creating a synergy by which 1 + 1 = 2 +. Another might be an intimate relationship between a man and a woman intertwined becoming > 1 but < than 2. [] Mostly about people... like Mathurine, Leslie, Jane and Texas Songbird whom I hope are alright.
How about you?

Which one of Shakespeare's plays is it from?

[] "Mostly about people... like Mathurine, Leslie, Jane and Texas Songbird whom I hope are alright." Forgot to mention, that with several new faces appearing here since September rolled in, I'd been wondering about the wherabouts of some of the old codgers (almost typed, 'pharts'😉 such as deuce and huck and hopscotch. Come to think of it, should we all be mourning the passing of the troika of friends: Phlab, Rusty and Tim? Hope no ill wind has befallen them...
