We've had several false starts.<br /><br />Hah, terrifying that we won't be safe from spam and mass marketing even in space...<br /><br />Writebite - funny how sometimes we see the same item or word over and over again, everywhere we look. Surely it must mean something, but what?<br /><br />Cathryn - yeah, pretty much. I'm just amazed I'd never heard of this before now.<br /><br />Hey, I've been guilty of rhyming prose on more than one occasion, so you know it's welcome here :)<br /><br />Morrigan - totally bizarre to me.

Dear Marc,
I saw your post today. I...The Message,<br /><br />Dear Marc,<br /><br />I saw your post today. I am o- too. The shot is for the RH Factor and it's majorly important so I'm glad you found out about the dangers of a possible blood type conflict now. <br /><br />The bodies of O- moms can literally try and fight off a + baby, considering the blood of the baby a foreign "substance". Check it out online. I was just as stunned as you when I first heard about it.<br /><br />I'm not feeling the least bit creative today spent the day in the hospital with my daughter who's got a concussion, is on pain meds and can only walk with crutches. I'll spill the whole story tomorrow if your interested. I'm too tired now and just popped in to leave "THIS MESSAGE".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17749129580923663555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-67237899090105891442012-06-16T13:03:44.833-07:002012-06-16T13:03:44.833-07:00Ah yes the RH factor (positive or negative) can be...Ah yes the RH factor (positive or negative) can be annoying.

It was unexpected. Well, it wasn’t a metaphysical angel. It was a real one, well - maybe not real; if you happen to believe in angels then only metaphysical ones would be real to you. This one was physically real and, thus, metaphysically unreal. Confused yet? I am. This one was made of wire and fabric and was erected in someone’s front yard - a field, actually, because we’re talking farming country here. It was as unexpected an apparition as the appearance of any angel might be. I thought it was cute. ’Angels mean messages’ - I tucked that little crystal shop wisdom snippet deeply inside my brain’s filing cabinet and enjoyed the rest of the drive.<br />We changed drivers so I could read whilst riding shotgun. I opened up Kindle on my iPad and resumed reading Tom Sawyer, a classic by Mark Twain. The words “garden angel” leapt out from the screen. <br />That song by Police, ’Synchronicity’, began rolling around in my head, adding music to the angels flying around in my cranial filing cabinet.<br />Last night I turned on the TV and The Simpsons were on. I haven’t watched that for a long time. I kept watching when I saw Lisa digging up the skeleton of an angel. They started seeing the word everywhere - even cartoon characters were experiencing synchronicity. I wonder if they hear the Police song in their heads, too?<br />This morning I opened up a competition magazine I bought that day. I don’t always get them. Inside the back cover (yeah, I’m one of those people who read mags from the rear) there was a picture of a baby doll called Little Angel. I kept turning pages until I reached an article entitled, He Thought I was an Angel.<br />The Police song sang louder.<br />In addition, I saw two instances of dandelions this morning. Dandelions are a symbol a psychic once gave me many years ago. When I see them I take notice. One dandelion was a picture in the magazine and the other was the word used on a writing blog I participate in some days (noted here as ’dwp’).<br />’Angels mean messages!’ the crystal shop wisecrack shouted at me.<br />Hm, with Uranus squaring Pluto soon, two eclipses this week and a retrograde Venus in rare occultation with the Sun, maybe I shouldn’t just stand up and pay attention, maybe I should be saluting or something.<br />’Strange things are a-foot’, a cliche surfaced from one of the file drawers in my grey matter.<br /> <br />Okay, I get it, but what’s the freakin’ message?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-81058835186404154472012-06-15T23:59:58.258-07:002012-06-15T23:59:58.258-07:00Those raspberries sound delicious, and you've ...Those raspberries sound delicious, and you've only told me you have two pints of them! I think I have some frozen in the freezer still, I shall have to go and find them now. With thirteen pints of strawberries, it sounds like summer's finally gotten under way up there in Osoyoos :)<br />I'm a little puzzled that you'd not have been allowed to marry on account of incompatible blood types a hundred years ago, especially since blood types were only discovered around the 1900 mark and it took another twenty or thirty years to work it all out properly. Still, O- is a great blood group to have :)<br />Lots of atmosphere in four lines, you're getting very good at telling a story in just a few words! You'll be writing flash fiction next....<br /><br /><b>The message</b><br />When the first extra-terrestrial message arrived it was found by SETI and so was rapidly distributed to interested individuals throughout the world. Thousands of people, and quite a lot of government organisations set to work trying to decode what the message said. So when Sarah got up from her computer with a worried smile on her face and told me that we'd cracked the code and had the message, I was initially ecstatic. I was less so when I read the message: "Gh'urgh's energy bars are three times less radioactive than the competition and are cheaper too!"Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08503319830584828982noreply@blogger.com
