Re: How Does Hospitalisation Work Out In Your Country?

The waiting hasn't been too bad. I haven't really had any major issues at all since that major attack, so I am basically back to normal it seems. :namaste: Lux, I wish you have a very successful operation and a pain free and quick recovery, :namaste: Thank you :) For now I am still pain free. I'm h...

Re: How Does Hospitalisation Work Out In Your Country?

What country are you in? In the US it all depends on what insurance you have, what state, what doctor, what hospital, specific illness, etc. It can be a nightmare figuring out what specialist is part of which insurance network (non-network doctor is paid much less by the insurance company so the pa...

Re: How Does Hospitalisation Work Out In Your Country?

I can give an idea from the UK side of things because I am undergoing it right now. 11:00 - 4th February -- A&E(Accident & Emergency, or ER to our colonial cousins) visit with severe abdominal pain. I suspected and was in the process of getting a scan for gallstones. Admitted immediately, gi...

Cool :)

Some folks say HTTPS is slower than HTTP so let me just say now the difference is so negligible you'll likely never notice it!

Re: Where to begin?

Thank you all.

I feel while I'm not limiting the issues I'm facing, I am becoming more conscious of them and that I'd like to limit them(materialism, etc).

Thank you again.

Where to begin?

I've identified several areas of my life that I'd like to focus on and I feel that my long-time draw to Buddhism may also help or compliment that targeted self-examination but also putting it in to action as well. So what would I like to work on? I stress. I worry. I get anxiety. All of these things...

Re: Feelings on accepting donations TO ordain

I am just curious why waiting that amount of time is a bad thing? I am new to Buddhism but I imagine ordination is the same as most other organised religions/philosophies and is a life-long commitment, so I don't really know what a few years difference will make. Personally I'd be highly sceptical o...

Seeking refuge

I'm sure I'd made an account here in the past but I've since forgotten the username and since the username/e-mail combo is required to recover my password, I'm here on a new one :) That's okay, though, as I didn't have many posts on it to begin with. I've had a turbulent year but in reality, it has ...
