Ergo, gnats are smarter than people.'Cause gnats don't get no respect, Dr. Bill. That's a gnat's Achilles heel. If you want to be smart as a gnat
You should give him a tip of your hat
It will throw him off guard
His instincts retard
And the next sound he'll hear is "splat!"That's how you get to be smart as a gnat. You have to find a way to keep him from always being one step ahead of you.

I described to him how very worried I am that I'll ever fully recover my musical performance capacity
Speaking seriously [for once], Wordwind, it would have been more helpful if your surgeon had told you how to overcome your "perseverance" rather than simply give it a technical name.
But we can forgive him because he is a surgeon, not a therapist. He thinks his responsibilities stop at the end of a blade. [That's all he's paid for, you see.]
This is lamentable but sadly endemic amongst medical specialists, not just surgeons.
Gentle, persistent, graduated exposure to the traumatic stimuli is the way to overcome "perseverance", both emotional and physical, according to the latest therapeutic thinking.
When I think of Christopher Reeve's real-life action hero achievements in overcoming his own paralysis, caused by a horse-riding accident, so it happens, I think "gentle" is putting the therapeutic prescription too gently.

Re: The blood's running thin around here.
Carpal Tunnel's seldom go where a gnat is at.
And who can blame them?

Carpal Tunnel's seldom go where a gnat is at.Sprezzagnatura A gnat is so used to rejection
It doesn't even affect his digestion
When his dinner takes run
He doesn't feel shunned
He just flies to the next congregation.

Where a gnat is at
That's why gnats have a go
At Carpal Tunnels.It's a gnatural phenomenon. A gnat brings the top of the heap back down to earth. [Where we ALL belong. ]

Don't know if this will help, WW, but I had called a psychologist friend before making this post: Jackie (enthusiast) Fri Jun 30 14:43:38 2000 24.4.252.105 Re: Old fashioned pronouns -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tsuwm-- >>and ever since I've had one of the songs stuck in my head (is there a word for that?) << Yes, it's a form of obsession, or obsessive thinking: perseverance of thought.

it's a form of obsession, or obsessive thinking:
perseverance of thought. (That's per-SEV-er-ance, not
per-se-VER-ance)Just listen again The difference is plain: When you do it again
And again and again
'Cause you don't want to stop
That's "perserverance".
When you think it again
And again and again
But you wish it would stop
That's "perseverance".
