Thanks for the support, all. You are truly wonderful.
Wild monkey love or tender Sarah McLachlan love?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Seska, I hope that wasn't an overload of helpfulness, and now you are having to say "thanks" when what you really want to say is, "shut the hell up".

roomie says he smudged with sage. Bleh. One more reason for me not to be a hippie.
Suggest he go with chamomile next time - it has a much more pleasant burning smell - like a really nice wood fire, only with a sweet, flowery note to it. Or, maybe he should do it when you are out of town so there is plenty of time for it to dissipate before you get back.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I once watched four of my aunts friends get into all but a shouting match over which sage was best to smudge with.
Hippies. What are ya gonna do?

Tell 'em to use salt water, because smudging with sage isn't needed?
(Trust me, I hear these arguments with the Wiccans I hang out with.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I like the smell of burning sage. But, you know, growing up in the California desert was kinda hippie already.
Best was that I always ask my mom to bring me sage from her gigantic shrub when she visits. First time she did, I took a leaf out and smoldered it. Just because I could. Because I had a ton of wonderful fresh sage to cook with again.
She walked out of her room a few minutes later, "Do I smell pot?" "Um, sage. The sage you just handed me?"
My mom wasn't a very good hippie, clearly.

I use White Sage and really like the smell but, yeah. I've smudged a few corporate client offices and felt bad about the lingering aroma. It's not for everyone.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
mmm, i love the smell of burning sage. my dad brings me sage from the desert around the Jemez res whenever he visits. i've never tried using it for cooking, tho. bet it would be divine.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Roommate burning smelly eye-watery stuff in the house when I'm not around and haven't said yes? Reason #43 for not having a roommate. Even in college I stayed in the single-room dorms.

I have some smudge sticks that are a combo of white sage, lavender, and cedar that I really like. But the smoke irritates Daniel's allergies so I make sure to do it when he is not around.
