That is the one thing we can all take comfort in that will never change. A mellow day is good occassionally but it seems you're still wound up pretty tight (there must be something I've missed - like that).

Wait a minute! You meditate regularly! That's your mellow time; you get a good dose daily. Get your bottom out of that chair and go window shopping for fine antiques or something. Go!

Funnily enough, I've felt wound up for about 2 weeks, which is why I decided on this 'ME' day. A bit of self analysis maybe in order......lots of stuff going on in the next 3 weeks...maybe that's it...

Contrary to popular belief, it is not a fear of batras. Batras are sweet and gentle creatures impossible to fear, which is what makes them such successful predators.

Batrachophobia is a fear of frogs, toads, newts, etc., a completely reasonable unreasonable fear to have - if you insist on having one.

Don't take money and ask lots and lots of annoying questions. Here in the US we have the 98-cent store. I like to go there and pick things up at random and ask the clerk "How much is this?" It's great fun!

Of course, supporting members are allowed to be immorally deceptive and lie about whether they are online or not, as you have apparently opted.

Oh yeh, and you are Sneezer. One doesn't get a Nomad Nickname unless one is loved. :-6
