Greetings Universe.
At this point in my life, I have only the encounters and experiences one can achieve while on my native earth. Perhaps you have others.
Your comments will be watched.

Confined Experiences
Has anyone experienced a hospital stay or been trapped in some other confines on earth? Please share your Earthling experiences at a level for family reading. Thank you.
Supposedly my house was a nursing home during the Vietnam war. When the (now adult) children of the former owners visited last year they walked from room to room reminiscing and mentioned that their chores included helping an armless vet eat his oatmeal every morning. When I feel trapped by domesticity, I will think of of those men and appreciate how lucky we are.
My koi, Hoover has gotten so large that he occassionally knocks into the pond filter and cuts off the oxygen flow. How long can nine fish survive a pond on the surface oxygen only? How big would they grow in a larger environment? That will not be answered at this time because there are no plans to increase the size of the pond.
I don't ever feel confined...I don't like crowded, visually confusing spaces; malls, stores,crowded streets. While I am a hugger,and someone who will spontaneously reach out and touch the person I may talking to even if I don't know them well, I need my space when it comes to people I do not know.

Did I see koi on the sushi menu?
