I guess you'll just have to settle for Miss Popularity.

If you have the time, sort the comments by latest and read the two posted by Satoshi Hirota, M.D., Ph.D. Also make sure you read the earlier one first. I believe he's identified a disease, but not the one he spent so long explaining.

Michael J. McFadden described Hirota's disease quite well: Dissecting Antismokers' Brains

Elaine, I have been waiting patiently for McFadden's book to show up on my bookshelves. I hate to go out and actually pay full price for it when I see so many books every day in my altruistic endeavor. Perhaps I'll break down and do it anyway, right after I attempt to use The Secret to bring it into my universe.

Totally OT, I got a rundown on The Secret from a friend a couple years ago. She was pretty detailed on the theme of the book so before I left I said I'd use the premise of the book to find it. I had never seen a copy of the book, but the next morning I started seeing the book arriving in one of the contributed boxes and finding it and buying it. I did that for three days and stopped because, as they say in the book, you need to be convinced that whatever you visualize will be manifested to you, so I was convinced it would soon be mine.

Within a week, I opened a box and that little book was sitting right on top of all the others. Needless to say, I bought and read it although, I had the concept down pretty well. My next installation will be about how I used The Secret to find my lost dog......

Thulium, long before I read The Secret I learned the secret. Visualization is an amazingly powerful tool.
