I like this thread! - I was walking thru the forest and BLAM! Here I am. Padded walls, straightjackets, and conversations with some very nice people. None of which are wearing tin-foil hats that I can see, but I have seen quite a few pirate hats.

You are correct about spontaneous human combustion, and if you've ever experienced a good jolt of 220 you would agree with me. LOL!

Remind me to never tell any of you about my neighbor Joe, and the day we jumped off the roof with an umbrella after seeing Mary Poppins at the theatre. Nope, I won't tell you how fast an umbrella can collapse, nor how fast a spindly-legged kid can smash into the ground. Wouldn't be prudent.

I guess Mary Poppins' umbrella worked for Mary, but not for anyone else
When I started reading ''A Course in Miracles'' 10 years ago, the author convinced me there are no external properties
everything is in the mind
I had just moved to Tucson and beautiful mushrooms sprang up all over school yard after the rain
so I picked them
When I returned to our apt complex everyone told me not to eat them they will make me sick
but I thought ''pish posh everything is in the mind''
so I cooked them up for supper
when hubby asked me where I got them I said the health food store
in the middle of the night I was sick!
so next morning I threw away the rest of mushrooms
that night hubby asked me ''where are the delicious mushrooms''
I said ''there aren't anymore we ate them all up''
My mistake I realize was underestimating the mind
cause all during that supper I kept thinking ''I can't believe I'm eating poisoned mushrooms''
but Bill thought they were from health food store
one of us got violently ill
and the other wanted them again
Love, Palo
