if you're into meditation, you'll probably enjoy this piece a lot.
if you're not into it, or you plan on responding below in a way that suggests you didn't read the article -- you'll appear somewhat as proof of what the article contends. but even if you don't meditate or even spend time on social media, you'll completely understand the weird physical feeling you get from a disturbing thought (a remembrance of a past embarrassment, for example), and the similar feeling you get when you are hit with a tweet (or whatever) that irks you.

He's been using a walker for a year or so now (he's only in his mid 50s) and probably consumes anywhere from 3 - 6 double shots of vodka a day.
So I left him Wednesday afternoon after I sold some of his silver coins and brought him the cash for a deposit we were going to make on Friday.
He took a fall, probably Wed. night, and another friend of his called the police to do a wellness check on him Thursday morning, when D hadn't gotten back to him. The police found him barely conscious and took him to the ER at St Jospeh's Hospital in Burbank, a top-notch facility. When D didn't return my calls on ...
