As I'm prepared to whip around and "school" her, her friend schooled her for me. Nice ;-)

Sweet! Did she literly "School" her with fists(or slaps) or "School" her with the power of words?

Power of words. She just kept saying, "No you're wrong" and then the lady would explain how she heard in her bible class BLAH BLAH BLAH. Her friend just kept saying "No you're wrong". So that was a great moment. Usually people go along with their friends, especially when they act as "knowledgeable" as this woman did. I was thrilled that she went to bat for Halloween.

"Well sir, I believe that the skull is a creation and gift from God , because without it we would be jellyfish-like blobby creatures trying to control our brain matter."
(Kind of hard to argue against this one, aye?)
I was very upset , he wasn't such a smart guy afterall now was he?

I was told later about a prayer group of little old women who were supposidly praying that my house burn down!?
One of them confided to the rest in their monthly meeting that she had seen Satan himself walking down the streets of this little town!
Does this sort of thing make any of you want to laugh? but let's play a not so far-fetched game of "What If"?
What if she decides to rid the world of "Satan"?
The next time she's coming downtown she packs her dead husband's pistol?
What if she shoots "Satan" and he happens to be just a babyfood salesman with three little kids and a loving wife waiting for him at home?
By declaring someone to be with satan, makes them fair game for any thing you wish to do to them now doesn't it?
And then such a person gets a light sentence ...because" They were "crazy", your Honor."

There is definately something happening at the end of October every year.
October 31st. is the one day of the entire year in which solar-measured time and mechanically measured time disagree the most, no other day does this in the entire year to this extreme, it's a 16 minute difference!
Time Warp, anyone? Sure we see into another world that day/night and it just might be the world of those who have gone on before us? Why not?
This time differentiation is a fact. Time to begin figuring out the supernatural based upon a fact?
A big book on sundials has the charts. Look this up if you wish?

OK, those people are just nut cases. These are just yard displays.
