Congratulations, Robert, on getting signed up for cryonics!

And Steven, I know what you mean when you wrote:

"I remember the day when I received my bracelet and necklace,
and put the bracelet on for the first (and for me, with one exception
of having the chain resized) and last time. ...
I suddenly felt different.  Not immortal, or all powerful, or anything silly
like that, I just felt
different." [religious comparison deleted]

I felt the same way. I don't know if the feeling is just a psychological
response or something more rational, but every time I look down at my
bracelet I get a warm feeling. I know that neither the bracelet nor the
feeling are any guarantee of a successful cryosuspension and resuscitation
in my own case (or anyone else's). Nevertheless, I enjoy the feeling. What's
more, I believe that it leads me to a more optimistic demeanor in life.
