Be it philosophical, meta-physical, or para-psychological.<br />Do you disbelieve everything you can't see, or hold in your hand? Descartes said it best "CAGITO ERGO SUM," (I think, therefore I am). Which was his way of saying life is not an illusion. Logic, dictates that "IF SOMETHING IS, IT MUST HAVE COME FROM SOME WHERE."

I just returned from Portland where a similar incident occurred last week when I was with my daughter and grandson outside a busy mall. A "normal" looking woman approached us and asked where she might shop for a pacifier. We mentioned Target etc and she went on to tell us her children were 11 and 14. It went downhill from there and we managed to regain our "personal space." <br /><br />Everyday I try to express my gratitude for good health - in mind, body, and spirit. It's scary to think that that could happen to any of us, conspiracy theories aside!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00080418514689447091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-18472379428867423662010-05-03T07:28:44.652-07:002010-05-03T07:28:44.652-07:00There is a fine line between insane people and jus...There is a fine line between insane people and just conspiracy theory junkies who start buying all of the garbage.<br /><br />My daughter's grandmother is one of these. Useually is just dumb stuff that I ignore, then a few years ago I offered to take her daughter (who is just 2 years older than mine) to Disney World. She didn't want let her daughter go because Disney is working with the government to spy on Americans. If finally talked her down and her daughter got to come with us, but she was still upset about it all. <br /><br />But yeah, other than all of that, she is generally a normalish person who leads a heathy, productive life.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610117543051640146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-24031267643918583592010-05-03T07:04:48.499-07:002010-05-03T07:04:48.499-07:00Oh dear, I'm sorry for laughing, but I did. I...Oh dear, I'm sorry for laughing, but I did. I know they are just desperately in need of help. Also, my husband has a sister who suffers from delusions, and it is impossible to force treatment upon someone. There are really good reasons for this, such as abusive husbands having their wives locked up when they were "acting up". <br /><br />It does mean that those of us with someone in our lives who really does need help don't have a lot of avenues available. It's a trade-off. <br /><br />Although I think you might have been justified in thinking someone was out to get you after two successive bus rides like that! Good gravy, I'll bet you wanted to install extra locks on your door, after all, the nearest bus stop is nearer than you think!Land of shimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671954452597068904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-80368645915125390002010-05-03T06:50:01.538-07:002010-05-03T06:50:01.538-07:00My problem is that I lead such a boring life - if ...My problem is that I lead such a boring life - if I thought someone were spying on me I would have to try to be more interesting to keep them from falling asleep...The Bughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509037206264761261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-77562371037069699482010-05-03T06:42:12.570-07:002010-05-03T06:42:12.570-07:00Deary me, sounds like you had two rather eventful ...Deary me, sounds like you had two rather eventful bus journeys!
