Dex,  I believe that humans,  no matter how educated they are,  will never know everything.

When my Gertie was only 8 weeks old she was diagnosed by two Vets  that she had a  faulty Mitral Valve.
I was advised to return her to the breeder.   I loved that pup so much and didn't want to send her back, and never know what became of her,   so I asked for a referral to a veterinary Cardiologist instead.
A heart scan was done, and the diagnosis was confirmed.

To cut a long story short,  I took her for hands-on healing almost every week for the next 12 months.
Then around her 1st birthday she had to go back to the specialist for another scan and check-up. 
I was then told her dicky ticker was perfect.

My own vet was very surprised when I told him, and got his stethoscope out to have a listen.   
He agreed with the specialist.  Her heart was beating normal again.   
My vet admitted then, that he hadn't expected her to live, and that is why he told me to take her back to the people who bred her.

She was 10 yrs old last April.

Nothing, just nothing is annoying me right now.
It'll never last. 

Surely the fact that it'll never last is annoying? 😬

Quote from: Mups on Today at 10:06:48 PMI started learning about them years ago too, Mort,  and Reiki as well,  but eventually I gave most of my books away to a lady who wanted to learn too.  Still got my crystals though,  including a beautiful piece of Amethyst which I keep wrapped in a drawer so that it doesn't fade,  as Amethyst does in the sun.  Still got several pendants too.
Haven't played with them for a few years now though.

Can't say that this stuff has tickled my interest.  But, I did try some astral projection hypnosis many years ago.  Don't recall it working for me.

But, given other experiences, it remains true that "There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy"

Thus my mind remains open.

I have a broadband account with VM and no doubt there'll have been an email I could have used, but never have.

You know my yahoo email handle which I've had for well over a decade, for free, along with a free Gmail account.

Anything that asks for money for email usage sounds dodgy to me as there are plentiful freebies out there.

My advice.... Ignore it

It seems vm have joined with o2 and vm may well be binning their email services so the message is genuine. If you don't use a VM email there is no problem if you do then read the details that they give you.

You registered here with an ntlworld email. You will be able to continue using it so long as you are with VM for free but if you move on it will cost an annual fee to continue according to the email.

I used to be quite into crystal healing years ago and one suggestion to treat a headache was to stick some amethyst on your forehead with a plaster.
I can vouch that it worked,  At least the pain moved and I got a stiff neck instead,

I know

I received this email this evening, supposedly from my local u3a.

This will surprise you to know,  I haven't a clue what he's on about, but I'm a bit worried because I am with Virgin.

Here is part of it,  plus a link.  Please will others have a look for me and see what you think of it?
Is it genuine even?
Thanks very much.

We have been made aware that in the near future Virgin Media will be closing down their email services and offering customers the opportunity to transfer their accounts to a company called Junara.

There is a 99p transfer fee per email inbox and customers with a current broadband, TV or landline contract will pay nothing for the first year of this new service. Those without an active Virgin Media package must sign up for a standard paid plan (apparently £59 to £65 per year per mailbox) immediately to keep their service.

This will apply to all virginmedia, Virgin.com and ntlworld email addresses, and full details can be found at https://news.virginmediao2.co.uk/helping-customers-understand-upcoming-changes-to-their-virgin-media-email-services/.
