Wow. Really??? Mercury is surely in retrograde, for I feel rather offended by your seashell comment, Steve. Was that your intention? Lol! To tell someone you barely know something like that seems... frankly, a little bananas to me.
U don't like sea shells? Apologies never meant it to hurt u....just that I think it took quite a bit to get u to come 'out of your shell.' That is a common expression. The sea shell just adds the sound of the ocean! The sound of om. That's the sound I often hear when I practice the om technique.... like when u listen in a big shell. The bananas left the classroom. They'll b back though. I'm sure there are others that think I'm a little bananas. I'm not offended. It's a craziness I was born with....after a while I have learned to live with it. U will too if u ever decide to go a little bananas with one such as myself. Being a little Sunoco....makes me feel rite at home and not so Standard.
U used to tell me 'don't take things so personally' well maybe it's advice for both of us.
.........and added to all this.....u r rite mercury is retrograde.
