umm, football ?


In box

Thats how many emails I've gotten from the FDA since Jan. 11 saying 'don't consume

anything with peanuts in it.' 94! In 20 days!



I finally emailed my family and friends (after sending about 8 of these warnings) and told them:



IF IT TASTES LIKE PEANUTS, SPIT IT OUT!

(update 1/31- 10 more today and the night is still young!)

AURAS, cooties and fitted sheets

I think about the woman at a St. Louis laundromat in 1970 who, after watching me struggle, taught me how to fold fitted sheets. She has no clue (I bet) how often she is thought of or how large a 'RIPPLE' she created that day.

****************************************************************************

I find it amusing that now, when it seems possible a woman could be elected President of the United States, there is talk about making the 'first spouse' a paying position. Gag me, testosterone.

*********************************************************************************

Isn't it interesting that as we finally near a withdrawal date for Iraq, the plans are being made to ramp up U.S. troops in AFGHANISTAN? Looks like the lessons of Viet Nam were all for naught. And, to be redundant, gag....testosterone.

******************************************************************************

Does the concept of infinity drive you crazy? It drives me crazy. Being so caught up in the boundries of life in this physical plane I cannot stretch my (wild and vivid) imagination far enough to go forever. This concept first began to plague me in my teens and it still does today.

******************************************************************************

I wonder what ever happened to the first guy who ever kissed me. (I hope he didn't disappear because of me! You know, COOTIE FACTOR. YIKES!)

*****************************************************************************

Do you suppose 'mortal pieces' of MADALYN MURRAY O'HAIR is as far as she made it? Do you think she found God sometime shortly before the saw? Nehhhh.

*******************************************************************************

I seriously believe in the 'butterfly theory'. (See St. Louis lady above)



*********************************************************************************

If you've only seen 3 episodes of a t.v. show, how can it be a re-run EVERY time you watch it?


*********************************************************************************
DID YOU KNOW the term 'GAWDY' comes from the work of Antoni Gaudi, a Spanish architect? http://www.red2000.com/spain/barcelon/phgau.html

I guess I like GAWDY because I like GAUDI.

********************************************************************************
I have seen BALL LIGHTNING!!! At least I think I have. It was about the size of a marble and sparkled like a sparkler. It moved though my room and out the window. A steady pace and a level plane. I was so relieved 40ish years later to come upon the term 'ball lightning'. FINALLY! An explanation for that anomaly in my room all those years ago. phew!

*********************************************************************************
Okay, maybe I shouldn't mention this, especially right after the ball lightning thing--but it was THE COOLEST THING I EVER SAW!!! I used to ride the bus from Clearwater to Tampa to go to school five days a week. Some days I would catch a nap on the 45 minute ride since when I got off the bus I had to work 4 or 5 hours. ONE DAY as I was waiting for the bus to finish loading passengers I happened to notice an elderly couple getting on. The first thing I noticed was they were dressed, for lack of a better description, like Amish people. All in black..he wore a hat, she wore a long black dress with an apron over it and a kind of 'bonnet' on her head. Their faces were almost wrinkle free and had THE most serene expression I have ever seen outside a painting. HERE COMES THE WEIRD PART. As they ascended into the darkness of the bus I could see they were GLOWING. I swear to GOD. It was so plain, so obvious that I was just frozen for a few seconds. Then I looked around the bus to see if anyone else noticed. Nobody seemed to. I wanted to just scream "check these guys out!!!!" I thought--okay--this is my eyes playing tricks on me. I looked at other people. Really focused. I looked back and the couple was still glowing. I read a little from a textbook. Still glowing. Nothing I did would change the fact that I could see these peoples AURAS. This lasted the entire 45 minute trip. I was 17. I have no explanation for why I was able to see that. The word 'countenance' comes to mind. Not sure if that describes their overall appearance. I DO KNOW THIS...I am now 59 years old and I've never, before or since, seen that kind of 'light'. It cannot be described. It warms your soul to see it. It was a 'halo' light. It was real.

...and I feel extremely priviledged to have seen it.
