For a husband, invert St. Anthony.

My boss is having trouble selling her house. Today she stepped out of the lab for a few minutes to buy a miniature statue of St. Joseph, which she will bury upside-down 3 feet from her house. o_0

I'll write something about the spiffy vacation eventually. It's a lot of material to cover, and I'm feeling lazy. In a nutshell, enormous trees, moss, stars, rivers, salmon, clean air, low population density, and unsurly natives make the Northwest a nice place. The car culture is much better out there, too. More old VW bugs, hot rods, and miscellaneous curiosities. The vast majority of the trucks and SUVs showed evidence of off-road use. Imagine that!

My sister did that too. I think it's silly.

Catholic magic cracks me up.

Did your boss also half-bury any Jesuses or Marys that are in the yard? That can also help, or so I'm told.

AFAIK, this is her only syncretic possession.

What does she do when your experiments don't go well? Does she have a Lepidosiren voodoo doll?

If she does, she needs to flip it right side up and give it lots of money.

sugegst to her that perhaps it's a problem with her karma... she needs to first let go of money in order to receive it... she can start by giving you a big raise. ;-P
