LOL Elizabeth,
when I was trying to
explain this particular
thread to my husband
he started explaining
the southern/northern
hemisphere thing to me,
using the bathtub drain
theory. He was getting
into magnetism/iron ore
particles/gravity and=20
directional spin of a=20
machine, etc. etc. etc.
I wish I could
have recorded his
explanation. He is a
millwright/metal worker,
and can get quite technical.
What made it even more fun
was the fact that he was
busy sampling imported beers
for my daughter and son-in-laws
restaurant. When I threw in
the moon and tides and gravity
ideas(just to confuse him) I had
to leave the room. Too bad I
did not record him, it all made=20
sense the other night, but like
those rare moments of insight
or ideas that come in the middle
of the night, if you don't record them
they are gone, like a flash in the pan.
Maybe I could buy some more beer
and pry his head open again,
Just for fun

Sheron,
LOL when I read your mail.... I know someone who had one of those dreams
that sorted out the whole raison d'être of mankind and the world in one easy
and illuminating way, bound to revolutionise human thought and endeavour...
Woke up next day, but it was gone. Not the slightest idea what it was
although he wracked his brains all day.
Then the next night and the same dream... He realised he must wake up and
remember it... He did, even woke up his partner to tell her... Then went
back to sleep in the happy knowledge they would remember. But morning came
and sadly absolute zilch again... Neither of them could remember a thing.
Thinking it highly improbable, but in the hope third time lucky, he got a
pencil and paper ready by the side of the bed. Same dream and same amazing
answer to all the world's problems, etc. etc. Woke up, grabbed the notepad
wrote away. Then went happily back to sleep knowing that this time the
answer was now irrefutably in black on white, he would be hailed as the
world's most famous living philosopher.
Next morning awoke, sat expectantly up in bed, reached for the book with the
illuminating answer to all there was in heaven and hell....
What was it?
They still do not know, because the only word written was:
"CABBAGES!!!!!!"
He has never had the same dream again, but years later, he still goes to
sleep in hope every night....
