Hi Jeff. I should say hi to Cynical too.
Jeff---Don't you believe there is something strange about coinkydinkies? I had a good one today: This morning I was thinking about some tenants I haven't seen in a while. I said to myself, "Self...you really should get over to their house and get those ceiling tiles up before Christmas." THEN, I remembered about her staining. I thought to myself that if the trim boards were sprayed with stain, that more stain would 'take'. The last time I was there, she couldn't get enough of the stain to stay on the wood.
Guess who called me up this afternoon? Yes...it was her. She wanted to know if I had any more of that stain! BTW...I do not see or talk to these people on any kind of routine basis. It must have been 1 1/2 months or more since I talked to them! So...why today? Why did she call me up today, after I started thinking about them? This stuff happens to me all the time and I have kept a journal of many of the coincidenses whose synchronicity seems hauntingly weird.
Therefore, I am very interested in this subject, and I believe there might be something quite unexplained, going on here, with brain waves.
And I wonder what happened to the JE site tonight?

Hello, Phelps/Iamme. Sorry to be this way, old chap, but I really think the coincidences you are experiencing are just that...coincidences. You spend a lot of time thinking, Phelps, and that has a way of magnifying all of your experiences. Oh, well, look on the bright side. At least that woman didn't call you up to invite you to come over while she took a shower.
Phelps, what is going on over at JE?? It's frustrating to try to post over there now, because the posts won't go through. Is the site having technical problems, or is Trevor playing holiday games just to bug us??
