But a million times worse!

You think departed 'loved ones' speak to you?

I sometimes wonder.

After my sister passed away, I had a few WTF moments.
Like the day I was driving to the store, thinking about how her house had become empty and cold, even though non of her belongings had been moved out yet, when I listenend up and heard one of the songs we had selected for her memorial service on the radio. It was a Billy Joel song that hardly ever is played on the air.
Or Gone with the Wind events, a week or two out from the anniversary of her death. it was her all time favorite movie and book.

This year I ha the displeasure of digging a hole for a dog that wasn't mine, when I planted the rose bush, I realized that it was - again the anniversary of her passing - she was a big animal lover.


Now I read a FB post from a friend who lost her daughter to SIDS a few years ago on Memorial Day weekend.
How she had taken a plunge with her cellphone, having do use her old one - which had a lot of pictures of her daughter on it...weird stuff, coincidence?

Not just loved ones some of the stuff I've seen and heard...........

Asparagus loves salt. All I do is olive oil, pepper and generous amount of salt. Fresh crab sounds good too.

I like to break some eggs over sauteed asparagus so I end up with something between an omelet and a fritatta, but I think I'll give this roasted asparagus recipe a try.

I am too afraid to ask, but I think I know the reason (and can relate to it...)
lacing up my walking shoes as we speak....

Lovely, sunny day in Colorado. Class starts at 5, but I'm meeting a couple of students at 4 for some extra work.

I think the Corvette wants me to drop her top and take her tonight...

I have been in a foul and vile mood all day but yeah...you are best not to ask

The walk helped

you might think I'm completely off my rocker..but we lost my step-dad about 8 years ago and 3 years ago, I was over at my mom's house raking leaves for her
and at one point, I stood up straight to stretch my back and looked toward the house and - I saw him - it was only for a few seconds, but I saw him standing
on the front step and it looked like he was smiling and then he disappeared... So, in answer to your question, I would say - in a way, I think departed loved ones
do speak to you but probably not in the typical way we're used to but rather in a way that our heart will understand..

i went and saw one of those clairvoyant type people a few years ago and i got the shock of my life when she said that my adopted grandfather (he died when i was 2 or 3) was stood watching over my shoulder making sure that i didn't get into anymore trouble

it also goe some way to explaining why i talk to myself a hell of a lot too - she thought that maybe i was talking to him cos i've had countless full blooded discussions about everyday stuff with "myself".

unlike some though i've never seen him - i saw a few not of good quality pictures of him a while back but my adopted parents for whatever reason never showed them again - they never showed any pictures of either side of their families --- from what i understand there was a massive barney and that was that they just refused to see each other ever again but i keep getting these "reminders" - i'd love to know more, i know that they're not my family directly but it'd maybe shed some light on stuff.

today i'm going back to the gym to help out with the kiddies pads session shouldn't be too tough on me considering that i get to kneel down most of the time
