I was speaking to ninjaferry......not about myself....but no worries. Lets move on.Waterfall ---you said -----Not sure where you get that I believe what Solomon wrote???
I didn't say you did believe that Solomon wrote Ecclesiastes ------you said this ---your quote here ----Solomon in Ecclesiastes seemed to think along your lines too, -----
I personally don't care who God chose to write the Book ----I do believe the words written were definitely directed by God ----- and therefore are truth ---so why wouldn't I believe what God has written ----Does God lie ?

My grandfather has been dead since 1968 ... I still have thoughts of him alive ...
And it's funny to me how there's often a real physicality to these thoughts. A spark of sulfur from a match reminds me of my mother (as does a whiff of Chanel no. 5);, some songs remind me of specific events in my life; a rose, a sturdy tree, a snake, remind me of dad; I cannot see a clip of the movie "The Land Before Time" without thinking of my kids watching it hundreds of times...
Red Beer substitute is OK but not great
Especially if one flat out expects some pain killing results from alcohol.
I've been going through a 4 pack of cider every week for the past four weeks. Shared some of it with housemates on sunny evenings in the backyard. I don't think it's problematic, yet. And a small bar of 50:50 chocolate - or a joint a week. Only one or two puffs at a time. Self medicating. Doctor knows. Muscle spasms otherwise keep me awake. The 420 cheers me up briefly, like rose coloured glasses (which I also own) - or at very least highlights the satire we're living in - then I get a good sleep. The medical stuff is probably too strong - but I could ask for a prescription.
So, my logical brain wonders, was it a coincidence. How many other times have I thought of people at specific times, or had odd sensations and nothing happened.
