The perfume could have been a contributing factor, but since she was supposedly allergic to most trees and grasses and molds, it would seem like the absence of perfume wouldn't have been enough to bring about the cure.

Watch out for the political ones avenging him. Better put the kitty in disguise. I suggest sunglasses and trench coat.

(Cruisin’ through on lunch... craving a brew)

Howdy fishy... I haven’t been having those weird dreams about Playa Porter lately. Go figure... must’a just been a phase.

Anyways... I’m just stoppin’ by for a beer with my sandwich.

How’s life in the Bar today?

And Z... depression/stress can play a factor in things with animals. Working with the Humane Soc, I see a lot of depression, especially in dogs. No kidding, man. The pup that my Mother has, when he was in the pound, at first he was bouncy and playful. As time wore on and people kept passing him by, he quite jumping up when someone would come in. When we'd take him to Adoption Day, he'd just lay there with his head on his paws... wouldn't even more than glance up. After my mother took him home, he came around and is back to being happy again. Critters are sensitive to bad vibes and such.

Nice to finally get caught up. Good morning or afternoon as it may be. Just another day here in cubicle land. At least I get to spin tonight. I wish all of you could be here.

Heh. Got distracted by my email. I'm doing okay. Just webflipping and listening to some music. Saw another idiotically credulous news service running a piece about that fraud Alison Dubois today. Of course, she has a long way to go before she rivals Sylvia Browne for the title of "Queen of the hacks."

Don't touch me... I think I've caught that bug that's been going around the boards here... head stuffed up, chills, fever, blahs, etc. I don't have what Ring O Fire has (thank God!) but I've got whatever BullD has been complaining about...

Just a Macallen's or three and I should be okay...

Stay the fuck away from me, then Sam. You get your own bottle so you don't contaminate anyone else. And draw a circle around yourself with chalk...8' radius should do it.

It's a simple and verifiable fact that no psychic detective has ever solved a criminal case, or helped with one. Dubois is a shameless liar to claim that she has, and tellingly refuses to submit to any sort of unbiased testing, even to claim a million dollars from James Randi.

Why does it piss you off so? Do you think that it's false advertising? Why do you care if people are stupid enough to take all of it as fact?
Okay, found my questions.

So, What pisses you off more that she's a liar or that other people actually buy into the lies that she's telling them?

Stuart.

Ahem.

I, uh, am going to a certain theme park in Orlando, Florida at the end of the month and have just one question: hip flask or sheet of blotter?
