Even more random musings

1. Weed or wildflower? Two names for exactly the same thing.

2. Why is it that people that recall past lives, as in they were reincarnated, almost universally remember being famous historical figures?

3. Strongly urge you to add your name to http://www.theonecampaign.org/
They're not asking for money, just your support to encourage our administration to throw its full weight behind debt and povery relief for Africa.

1. Not sure you're right there. Beyond the obvious difference in connotation (in terms of desirability of each), I think "weed" may refer to a much larger umbrella of plant species, which would include grasses & other non-pollinators. Not positive on this-Sharon would know, & possibly Cory. Or were you just speaking philosophically...
2. Perhaps those are the stories that get publicity. Or perhaps is you were formerly someone you have never heard of, nothing really rings a bell-you interpret it as something else-deja vu, or instinct, or whatever. If your rememberences have to do with someone with whom you have at least a passing familiarity, perhaps it is easier to place.
3. Will do.

1. My whole idea with the weed/wildflower thing isn't super technical. The thought came from imagining how beautiful a field of dandelions can be, but boy how people hate their intrusion into their vast swaths of lawn.
2.Maybe - could be people's desire to be/have been famous.
3. Good deal.
