hairpin Because of its association with hair, the humble hairpin is not without magical significance. Finding a hairpin promises making a new friend; losing one is more ominous, suggesting that an enemy is close at hand. If a hairpin works its way loose in the hair this is taken as an indication that someone has that person in their thoughts-though in Germany this may signify the end of a love affair.

Do flowers have spirits? (I mean, why not? They were at one time a living, growing, energy producing/consuming entity.) If, so, and my theory is correct, then I have the ghosts of a dozen roses trapped in my apartment. Random thought...
You are my gypsy kind...why don't I know you at anytime...I thought we were tape and somebody put us face to face...that sounded like something over my head...but we all can talk, it's easy medicine...just send me a friendly sentiment I'll accept just alive or dead...only please don't cease your speakin' in my direction...I present...candles that don't blow out then.
