Synesthesia in varying degrees is common in all people. According to the doctors here the crossover between senses within my psyche is pronounced and extends to audio and verbal associations of color and sound, and alpha and numeric characters... which they believe not only informs but subliminally infuses my oral and written expression.
I enjoyed your post, Bobby. You have a keen eye for detail and a talent for expressive writing. You should consider
putting together a book when the time comes to abandon the warm green fleece and return to the workaday world.
Best wishes for a full recovery.

Synesthesia in varying degrees is common in all people. (This is didactic.)
Favor the former, avoid the latter.
Originally posted by HandyAndySimple answer is 'okay'. Hadn't even noticed the unselfconscious easy flow of first one. On another level, if "didactic" conveys the idea of instruction, teaching or elucidating I guess you're right in suggesting it's much too heavy-handed a word in our semi-lyrical context. Then again doctor talk and routine reports are usually strictly unimaginative and utilitarian, hardly intended to stimulate or entertain. Andy, help me here if I've strayed off course from your point. Colors I'm picking up on right now from this overbaked reply are medium brown ooze, indelicate slop gray and fatty linguistic ochre. Craving sports lounge anonymity, earthy wine and red meat on my palate -gb

Thought today, here and now, we were just having some overdue relaxed conversation... listening to stories told by other posters and telling a few of our own.

time, for the sake of the book, you would need to resist the temptation to overanalyze and preach (pretty
much what I'm doing now). The key is your eye for detail, the ability to notice things that others overlook.

Originally posted by HandyAndySounds like a plan, Andy. Loose ends on a Thank God It's Friday: FBI has invited Interpol to get involved in what has now become a nearly worldwide search for Nurse Ratched. Seems there may be several persons of interest in Spain, England and Germany. Came as quite a surprise to all of us that she had vacationed abroad last summer.

Also a new resident arrived at the home last night. Gaunt, cheerful gent in his late nineties suffers from seriously impaired vision and memory loss. About 5:30 AM Cynthia, certified nursing assistant assigned to him, asked him to provide a urine sample in a specially labled plastic cup. Few minutes later she returned to his room on 100 Hall to collect and seal the cup for lab analysis. Adolph who's sitting there sipping the sample looks up and says, "Please get me some ice for my morning apple juice."
