Isn’t that interesting how that happens? Our readers/commenters are often the ones who steer us in a direction we hadn’t even thought of going. It’s like they know us better than we know ourselves.

When we are open to new and daring experiences and people our lives go from black and white to living color.

I think all homes should be required to have these tanks and us adults could go for regular time outs!

Hey would it count for meditation? LOL

I find the Jay n Joy story amazing! Don’t you love the love stories of the blog world?!?

What a treat to see you here, you brought a smile to my face.

I know you’d have loved the sensory deprivation tank, mister. You are an adventure seeker, and this was absolutely an adventure of the mind. I’m sure that you’d have just settled down and enjoyed the experience, too.

I’m glad I could lend a bit of spice into your day, George. Thanks for popping over and have a great week!

It sounds like you don’t even need the sensory deprivation tank; you have awesome alternatives right at your fingertips. Good for you!

I think your experiences are every bit as interesting as the tank I got to try. I mean, geez, your “little floating thing” tied up to your dock??? That sounds awesome!

I would like to try it again, so maybe I’ll get the chance again. I have to believe *somewhere* up here in San Francisco would have them, right? I mean, c’mon, this is SF!

Have a great week, Suzen.

Don’t worry, I hadn’t had heard of the tanks either if it wasn’t for me randomly learning about John Lilly in school. What a wacky world this is.

Thanks for your kind words, too, about this blog. In some ways I struggle a bit, and sometimes wonder if it’s worth it for me to write about 1) random ‘educational-style’ types of stories that teach a bit about health/science or 2) just random ‘ole stories — but it seems like the Front Porch stories are becoming the most popular or most frequented. I’d have never predicted that.

But, then again, I LOVE reading just random stories about people, so maybe it’s all making sense now?

Sorry, I kind of rambled there.

Thanks for taking the time to visit, Barbara — I know you have a full, busy life. I appreciate you!

No kidding? I was hoping someone out there in blog land had an experience with the deprivations tanks. That’s interesting John had a friend who actually had them for a business. Very cool — just too bad that you didn’t have a chance to try it. I think you’d overcome your claustrophobia soon, Wilma. You can’t sense you’re in *anything*. It was really an interesting experience.

Have fun today and thanks for laughing a bit with me.
