    heh, I actually found a great local place to pick up a wide variety of incenses. But the place is pretty much a hippie store that sells marijuana pipes, accessories and such. The incense selection is great though. And they have small statuaries, just not many. I am trying to get them to order me an OM pendant.

    What kind of incense did you get, BF?
  • buddhafootbuddhafoot Veteran
    edited July 2006
    Zenmonk sent me lavender and pine.

    Good stuff.

    They're smaller sticks (not like the larger ones that have a stem at the base) the entire stick is incense. Which burns long enough for a good meditation period.

    Buddhafoot, I have some more to send you. It hadn't arrived on time to include in your package and it's discontinued - It's aloeswood, which is becoming rare, but I thought you'd like it. I'll send it off next week for you.

    Wow! Sweet!

    You didn't have to do that, but I really do appreciate it. I will keep it only for my meditation area.

    Don't lose any money on this for me - I just wanted to get you some glowing feedback on your Ebay account. I think I did - I basically said you were better than a bottle of scotch, a pair of Wellingtons and a VERY perty sheep.

    Before I place an order for Lillian Too's book, can I just check, dearest Genryu, that it is your new store.

    If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be?
    You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
    'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
    If you didn't have your feet in your wellies
    Oh wellies they are wonderful, oh wellies they are swell
    'Cause they keep out the water and they keep in the smell
    And when you're sitting in a room you can always tell
    When some bugger takes off his wellies
    If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be
    You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
    'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
    If you didn't have your feet in your wellies
    Oh and when you're out walking in the country with a bird
    And you're strolling over fields just like a farmer's herd
    And somebody shouts, "Keep off the grass" and you think how absurd
    and SQUELCH you find why farmers all wear wellies
    If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be
    You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
    'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
    If you didn't have your feet in your wellies
    There's fishermen and firemen, there's farmers and all
    Men out digging ditches and working in the snow
    This country it would grind to a halt and not a thing would grow

    By the way, BF, what does "I me me some incense" mean?
  • PalzangPalzang Veteran
    edited July 2006
    I suspect it's another example of the poor boy's creeping senility, Brigid. Instead of saying, "I got me some incense," instead he got a case of the screaming me-me's!
