    You would have remembered. It would have been
    quite the currant event.
    Um... right. ;)
    I know that mental aberrations mean all bets are
    off, but in order to deal with such people in
    real-life situations, one has to make certain
    assumptions.
    True... and then be prepared to remember all bets were off when the assumptions fall flat... One might be pleasantly surprised...

    Well, hardly ever!

    Ah. It was irresponsible not to have someone personing
    the station at all times - not that anyone would have
    done anything weird, more that there might be avoidable
    issues, like scorching the bottom of the pot.
    I think it was in a turned off crockpot, so little risk of scorching...
    and I agree that little risk of anyone doing anything weird, either.. :)

    Better a turned-on crockpot and a minor risk of scorch than
    a turned-off one with a somewhat less minor risk of little
    bugs growing in the food.

    Agreed. I treat it in the same category with Santa Claus, etc... can be fun to play along with.... so not to be totally shunned out of hand...
    but also not to be taken seriously or as guide/predictor to reality.
    Prob is that some people who don't believe in Santa
    pay attention to the horoscope. Said the quintessential
    taurus.
    I've been told I'm a typical capricorn, by those that pay more attention
    to such things... (G)

    Of course, it's a case of the lore assigning
    characteristics to you and people searching
    them out and saying, ah, yes, of course.

    We usually can say enough to keep things rolling here... ;)
    Some of it actually makes sense. Say hi back
    to Edith, btw.
    I will... eventually... ;)

    TIA.

    Okay, that's a semi-homemade I might
    semi-approve of.
    You might even have enjoyed them... skin and bone were left on... :)
    Good choice.
    We thought so, too... :)

    Natch,

    ... You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true!
    Or not so, that's the problem.
    True... facts, like statistics, can be twisted.... and/or strung
    together in such a way as to change their meaning...

    Same with astrology!
