Get a flea comb and comb Pookie several times a day. Have

Just passing thru...hope you don't mind the suggestion.

I'm pretty sure I have a flea comb - the teeth are very
close
together, but I have not been able to get any fleas at all
while using
it. They slip through the teeth. I'll look for another
one. Thanks!

Hah, when I was much younger (much much younger) I once
managed to
catch a case of crab lice. I got some poison from the
drugstore along
with a comb, and realized that that's where the expression
"going over
something with a fine tooth comb" comes from. I remember
laughing out
loud as the thought popped into my head. Until then it was
just words
without context.

It's also where the expression "nit picking" comes from.

It wasn't until the forth or fifth grade that I realized we
liven in, "one
nation indivisible". Before that, I thought you couldn't see
it. (from outer
space, I guess)

Oh good, I felt certain I wasn't the only one to make that
mistake!
But I always had trouble with the next few words, since I
didn't
really believe in God. I still don't in the way most people
mean it,
you know, the old bearded guy in the white robe. I guess
someday
relatively soon I'll find out. Or not.

It would be pretty funny if it turns out to be a rainbow
bridge
though.

When I was in Grammar school, "He" wasn't mentioned. It was one
nation, in(di)visible ... I still get hung up in saying it the
'new ' way,
and by then everyone is going on "with liverty an justice furr
all."

I had a friend who was agnostic...when she sneezed, and I said
"G*d
bless you" she would say "I doubt it."

I have been an atheist all of my life. Even when I was a
pre-schooler, when I went to church, and saw the others praying, I
would ask, "Who ar they talking to?" and when they said, "God", I
knew that there was no such thing and they were fooling themselves,
or kidding, or wasting their time. Now, I tell the religious people
who pester me to become a believer, that its a good thing I don't
believe in their God, because if I did, I would hate his guts for
all the pain and suffering he causes/allows to the millions of
little furry creatures he freezes and starves to death every
Winter.

True, there is no old man with a long white beard and flowing robes,
but there is the totality of energy in the universe...........

Yes. Neither the religious nor I know where it came from or why it
is here, but the difference between us is, I am willing to admit
that I don't know, and they are not.

I generally consider that I have about as much of a chance of
understanding the purpose behind "life, the universe, and everything"
as an ant has of understanding why I'm watching a baseball game.

.....Me, Me!! - I don't understand why you would watch a baseball game.....
