Three unrelated happenings or miscellaneous woo-woo!
1. Tonight when I arrived home from work I found a dead dove lying peacefully in my favourite balcony chair - thankfully I noticed it before I sat on it!
2. In the mailbox was a letter from the "NT society". This letter went on for six tightly typed pages telling me how I'd been "specially selected" by a "secret society" of the world's most powerful and successful people to receive absolutely free (of course!)the "shockingly powerful secrets" that have made them "the world's most famous and powerful people."
Apparently I've been selected because these people, whose identities can never be revealed, have identified some "rare traits" I possess, which have made them decide to offer me membership in their "exclusive society and to share their secrets, too, absolutely free!"
If I mail or fax back this exclusive invitation form by Friday they will share with me their secrets, "totally free", and before long I'll be - choosing all the right lotto numbers and the winning horses, making a fortune by working from home and setting up a multi-million dollar company, attract love and desire from, well almost anyone in the world, look 10 years younger and more... all obviously "absolutely free"!
I'm told the "two times winner of Binion's World Champion of Poker" (whatever that is) and a Fortune 500 company both offered tens of thousands of dollars for these secrets. But no, the secret NT Society is only prepared to divulge them to a few select people who have been identified as having "rare talents"... and of course to us select few its all "absolutely free"!.
Spare me do!!!!
3. Just when I'd finished reading the above pile of horse-shit, my phone rang. Lo and behold, it was a computerised voice telling me I had won a "6 day, 5 night holiday in sunny Orlando Florida".
Somehow I managed to keep my excitement in check long enough to hang up the phone and get back to my novel, my glass of wine and watching the sun set over the Timor Sea.
God my scepticism cuts me out of all kinds of fabulous possibilities!

HEY...Orlando isn't that far from me!
What were you thinking??? :)
You know what they say about a dove that decides to die in your chair, right? That you are an extremely beautiful, insightful being...OH, Nevermind-that's just the crap you make up when you want your friend to know you're totally thrilled when she posts!
