    3. Sue, do yourself a favor & DON'T experience a seance...you never know for sure who will wind up being a medium (we're talking "natural" medium here), and the one time I agreed to participate, the spirit of my ex-wife's mother chose to come through ME! That wouldn't have been so bad, but she was murdered by her estranged husband (shot twice), and I got to feel the pain of the two bullets! I thought I was going to die before the circle was broken!

Doris, you make some very excellent points on the subject and I agree with what you've said. It is like opening a doorway for lesser entities and can have negative results. There are simple precautions that can be taken to protect ourselves (speaking collectively here), but I'm not going to go into them because I really don't believe that this is an area that should be messed with and certainly not by people who utilize it as a toy. I tend to think of it as a loaded weapon. My upbringing was such that I am familiar with the Ouija or the circle of letters and a glass, table tipping, spirits, etc. The only thing that I've missed out on experiencing has been a seance. Let's just say that I've learned enough from the time that I was quite young that it's an area that I generally don't mess with and for good reason. ;-) Best, SueB

    3. Switching to chat... I'm very interested but wary. From the responses, and from what I heard on tv, it sounds very similar to letting a genie out of a bottle. (And the 'orginal' genies [djinni] were very bad dudes!) I jokingly asked my husband if we could play with the ouija outside, and he said he thought "they" would follow me. Him. Whomever. Follow? And how do you make them go away? Of course, a person has to believe a ouija can do anything at all before getting that far with the questions, but I have heard some strange stories too. And you don't just "get" who you ask for, from all the stories I've heard. You just open the door and someone comes in. Very strange. So, I've stayed away from it, simply because I don't think I know enough about it. I'm not sure anyone does. And a little ignorance goes a long ways... <g> Jan G. ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Mellie" <Mel@i12.com> Date: Mon, 6 May 2002 14:25:02 +0100 Ouija scares the hell out of a lot of folk, my dad had a hysterical turn when my mom and her friend were "playing" with one many years ago! it used to be made by waddingtons and sold in Wollworths, now you can't get one anywehre, folk think you are nuts or a witch if you wnat a ouija board, me I am fascinated by that stuff! i wanna come play!

    3. I believe this report....Two years ago I had surgery on my shoulder, and I came home from the hospital (actually I came out of surgery) with a staph infection. It ended up "cellulitis-staph", and I spent 13 weeks of having antibiotic IVs three times a week before it cleared up....now it "pops up" every so often and there's nothing they can do to completely stop it...seems it can be cleared up and then builds up again. I was told it was fortunate that I went for help as soon as I did---and wouldn't have done it then if it hadn't been for my physical therapist noticing and getting so concerned. She called the dr's office and they had me in emergency within the hour..... I always thought it was a little odd that I'd have to go back to the same hospital that gave it to me......??? Probably the most dangerous place we can go is the hospital....and I know too many people in the medical profession to believe they are what they think they are.!! But then, it's the "only game in town" isn't it? Doris....A Texan in Georgia..... Still shaking the family tree and dodging the nuts after 30+ years! IBSSG ----- Original Message ----- From: "J. Garland" <zippywebgenie@hotmail.com> To: <BLACKSHEEP-CHAT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 06, 2002 2:00 AM Subject: [BSChat] medical news Just heard on the news here in San Diego: studies show that you're more likely to die from a medical mix up than from breast cancer, a car wreck or AIDS. There's something wrong with this system. Probably a lot of things wrong. I know of one--but this is not necessarily a large part of the problem. There's lots of ways mix ups can take place. My husband tells me that, while his first wife was still alive 8-10 years ago, the nurses in N. CA were noticing that there were some relatively unqualified nurses coming along and they looked into it, trying to find out why these new nurses weren't up to snuff. Found out that the tests for becoming a nurse had been made easier by the CA state licensing board, so that nurses coming in from foreign countries would be able to pass them. At that time, most other states had a reciprocal agreement with CA, if a nurse was licensed here, the license was good in other states. I don't know if that still exists--hopefully they tightened up their requirements, but they may not be aware that CA did made licensing easier. I can understand the state wanting a constant supply of new nurses. It's hard to keep nurses for more than 5 years, since nurses' wages top out in that short a time. And then they start looking for something else. Who can blame them? Good nurses are not paid enough, that's for sure. But, there's got to be a way to sort out those who just aren't what they should be, regardless of the reason.

    3. Hi Hubby found an interesting website, annual awards for achievements that cannot or should not be reproduced, sort of like Darwin awards, only usually not deadly, and generally limited to scientific or ...pseudo scientific things. I think my favorite was the patent granted for devising a way to help a woman give birth by strapping her to a spinning table. Birth by centrifugal force, I guess, would be the name. Well, one name. lol Unbelievable! Oh--Some Aussie got a patent on the wheel. He better be REAL old, is all I can say!

I will have to find my conversion table to exchange the gallons over and its way too late for me tonite! at 90p per litre its £4.10 per imperial gallon Mellie IBSSG How Come My Coat Of Arms has Ties At The Back?

    3. JanG, yup I got it LOL, my missing car was a FORD, XR4x4i, family sized permenant 4 wheel drive 3.0Litre V6 uprated Sports everything! there is not much out there on the market that I can afford that will come close to that! my budget is realy what I got from the insurance, which was nice, but there is nothing actually on the market that comes close to the XR, except Jeep style stuff, and I can't afford one! so for now its something that comes close to my XR. I got 24mpg around town in the XR and 35mpg on the motorway, long jounreys, so the mileage was excellent for a big car, replacing it will not be easy, but the scorpio (Ford granada Scorpio) is about the only thing that does it, and if I can fild one, they come in 4x4!
