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." One story that is sometimes debunked is that sneezing was one of the first symptoms of the Black Death - the bubonic plague, and others would make the sign of the cross and say, "God bless you!" And so now we're back to fleas........... An unusual disease, in that it crosses the species boundry, and infects both rats and men.... It's pretty odd that my cats haven't had fleas in 20 years or so. They do go outside into the fenced-in backyard but other critters pass through during the night so it's possible that they would pick them up. I put Frontline on them twice during the spring/summer/fall, but not monthly. Just good fortune I guess. Mentioning it here will probably result in some karmic backlash and a flea infestation.. |

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. |

I agree...no old man on a cloud but that energy is
awesome....apparently. Three extremely intelligent and multi-talented men : Walter Russell, Buckminister Fuller, and Telsa did understand that energy. [Not even mentioning Einstein that they could easily converse with..and did....but since I have written him off as a jerk I'm skipping him. ] BTW ~ for fleas....get Diamacious Earth...from your local Feed Store. [if that's not how it is spelt...that's how it sounds lol.] |
