I should start with some very good news. I think I have already posted this but the news is that my Hep C is gone. It was no RNA detectable at the middle of January and again at the beginning of February. I have been feeling so much better physically since then. My feet are no longer so numb and...

It is OK to repeat what I have already posted before. Yes, I was badly abused as a child and when my parents finally divorced when I was sixteen I made a vow to never hurt anyone ever in my life. I have kept that vow but unfortunately it hasn't been reciprocal. I left home at 16 because I was...

Joey, I should elaborate some. The issue regarding the medication was not the only threat to my health, if not my life. I have very bad teeth and could not afford to have them properly repaired. To prevent infection I rinse with Hydrogen Peroxide several times per week and it works very well...

Not many descriptive single words in the English language are absolutely definitive with no possibility of modifiable interpretation. Even "immediate" can have a wide range of what constitutes immediacy. If compared to a normal lifetime immediate could easily be taken to mean days, weeks or...

Gender has little to nothing to do with this. Man, woman, makes no real difference. If you think it does then you may have an issue that needs help and that is not uncommon. The entire concept of triggering on nudity is something that must contain deeper reasons for that trigger. We are all born...

Yay!!!! I saw my doctor today (yesterday) and got the news. I am cured. Virus not detected at all. It is gone, very, very gone. I no longer have a body that is a cesspool for an evil creature that is slowly destroying me. It is gone!!! This is one of the best days in my life. Now I can feel safe...

A little update: I am almost finished the treatment for my Hep C and at this time the virus is no longer measurable. It should be undetectable but I haven't yet received the 8 week test results. My doctor is sure I am cured and that is such a huge relief. But that isn't why I am posting. I have...

Yep, that's me too. I will be heading back to school later this year to see if I can convince them to give me a master's in Engineering. Science is what I have studied since I stuck some needle nose pliers into a power socket at the age of three. I and the reverend at the church I attend both...

God created the universe. Right now that explanation is as good as we will ever find. In my mind God and the universe are parts of the same entity. This is especially obvious when you work in the field of quantum mechanics. There it is entirely possible and proven that anything in this universe...

There are many good denominations. That isn't the problem. Christians all believe in the same God and Holy Trinity. The problem is, as always, people. When I decided to return to church last year I sat with the Reverend and had a long talk. I was and still am at a point where I do not trust...

Absolutely true. Putting anything on line takes time, work and money. I have been running web sites since this all began. I had my first on line web pages in 1995 which is when the World Wide Web began on the internet. I have been on the internet since only shortly after it began with my first...

Yeah, rather of topic is right. Sorry.

I have also used intoxicants as well but I totally quit drinking or any other drugs about 11 years ago. I now must take, of all things, morphine. Not to kill pain but because it helps regulate my maximum heart rate. That hit 190 bpm earlier this year which is very much not a good thing at my...

Jemini, have a read here, it is what I follow in life: http://online.sfsu.edu/rone/Buddhism/FivePrecepts/fiveprecepts.html

Aarow, the side effects are minimal, really not much at all. Compared to the interferon drugs the side effects are zero. Harvoni is the best medicine so far and I have read that there are more coming that are even better in terms of even shorter treatment time. I am taking it for just 12 weeks...
