Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
A few miles from my apartment, a business had half of its roof blown off.
I was surprised to see all that on the news last night. It rained here, but I didn't notice any crazy wind.

What if I have two independent clauses that have a lot in common and want to be joined together? Why can't they express related idea love?

I didn't notice any crazy wind.
When I was driving in the storm, my car was definitely getting buffeted a bit, but not dangerously so. I guess I avoided the worst of it.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
there are lots of stories about transplant recipients who have cravings, dreams, and/or vocab changes that can be traced back to the donor.
While I could never track anything like this after my mom's transplant, I do know a guy who had a kidney and heart transplant from the same donor. Before surgery he had been an opera buff, but after he started to listen to country. While musical tastes can change over the years it was odd enough that the wife noted the change but didn't dig into the why.
A couple of years after the transplant they were at an event for transplant patients and donors/family of donors. He finally met the family of his donor and discovered that his guy was a huge country music buff, even wrote/played his own stuff.
There is no way you could convince his wife that was a coincidence.

You can if you insist, but she won't be happy. I may have to take a marker to the book to express my pique with some of her statements, but on the whole it's been a useful book. IE, making me look at some of my writing and going, "Dammit, she has a point."

ION--I watched some of NCIS: LA last night and confirmed that Heddy is the only reason to watch the show. Chis O'Donnell's manpain is boring, the shrink exists only to say "This is important character defining stuff", and their techy guy is annoying.
On the other hand, on NCIS, McGee is too skinny and Tony looks very nice in suits. And I thought of X-Files as Leon was wandering around his dead files room.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OOOH, a challenge!
Heh. Not really!
