I hate being a bitch, but....

   I'm annoyed, peeps. Not really angry just mildly peeved. But...peeved enough to write a smidge about it. Ya'll know the rules, now. You need not agree with me, nor do you have to read it...BUT...if you are in the paranormal field I highly recommend it.

   We all know I stand by my word. No one can question that. So...I'm standing by my previous blog stating I call BULL SHIT when I see it. One of the teams I work with, a team I hold near and dear to my heart, was ambushed by some low life named Jon Donnis on twitter today.

   Yep...I did it...I called the jerk out by name. I was willing to let "wanna be, attention seeking, spewing vomit from the mouth dogs lie"... but I just couldn't. Not after I was informed, by a third party, about a blog written about this team calling them fakes. Needless to say, anyone who knows me KNOWS I refuse to work with people I think may be faking evidence/gifts. I have made myself CRYSTAL CLEAR on this. Sooooooo...... I thought I would set the record straight because I honestly have to believe that this "person" may just be having a bad day and was looking to take it out on somebody. You know me...ALWAYS willing to give the benefit of the doubt.

   First...in his blog he states that he was presented a link to view evidence by NP Paranormal. This is true. What he failed to mention, an oversight on his part I'm sure, was that he contacted NP Paranormal, out of the blue, and asked them if they had any evidence he could view. He even stated that he was a skeptic trying to debunk. Guess what...they kindly sent him the links. You know why? Cause they stand behind their work. Oh...did I mention that their footage is all taken LIVE with viewers watching on Livestream? Yeah...kinda hard to fake with people watching the screen like a hawk, but that's neither here nor there.

   Apparently this paragon of paranormal skepticism...this self-proclaimed "World renowned skeptic"...(never heard of him...nor has anyone else that's been in the field for decades, that I know...trust me...I asked) couldn't figure out which videos to watch. He stated that most paranormal videos are too boring to watch and wanted to know the precise time that any apparition was caught. NP Paranormal, again, kindly supplied him with what he asked for. This was when he began to "debunk" in such a rude manner that even I was shocked. Yep...lil ol me. Shocked down to my very bloomers.

   I couldn't help but wonder why someone who was so polite, while ASKING for the evidence, would be so rude after he viewed it. First off...any idiot, yep I said it...idiot, can look up anyones paranormal videos on You Tube. They can even comment on them. It makes one wonder why he would deliberately seek out a team, engage them in conversation in an unassuming manner, then turn around and bash them when they never had to give him the time of day in the first place. Smells like an ambush to me, folks. A big, stinky, poo ambush. Funny thing...he tried to do it with me, as well. Asking me if I was aware of what orbs were? Well...I'm no scientist, Jon...so I don't claim to know what orbs really are.  However...I can ask the scientist, who is also a paranormal investigator, I interviewed Tuesday night on a show I co-host. I'll be sure to post the findings when I get them.

   This fellow also tried to start a line with my dear friend, Gwen Clapper, from Beyond Perception Investgators stating...and I quote..." I have all the knowledge in the world on ouija boards. Nothing to do with paranormal. It's an old ideomotor board game." End quote. Well...there you have it folks...the end all, be all, have all authority on ouija boards sought out my buddy...unsolicited. We are SO proud and honored.

   NOT.

   To quote Gwen, and this is one of the many reasons I love her, she tweeted..." If someone claims to know everything about anything...run the opposite direction. It's a red flag of self delusion." Don't ya just lover her? She calls it like she see's it. Can't be a hater on that!

   As for the debunking, let me make myself clear again...I encourage it. Strongly. One of the reasons I work with the few teams I do is that they try to debunk their own evidence first. Both NP and BPI are known, and respected, for that. So that everyone can get on the same page, one of the videos he "debunked" was the black mist apparition on the abandoned hospital footage. I think the whole video is less than two minutes long but junior still needed help finding it. He states, not theorizes, but STATES with authority that it is vape mist from a vapor cigarette. Well...I like bubbles, and I truly hate to burst them, but even though I know it's BULL SHIT...I gave this "person" the benefit of the doubt and made a few calls. Guess what, folks? Are you guessing? Shit...I hope you get this right....

   If you guessed that there is no such thing as black mist vape than you are CORRECT!!! I even called about 8 vape stores to confirm that such a thing did not exist. Funny how easy that was...

   He then questioned another video about an anomaly, caught on Livestream, running diagonal across the bottom of the screen. He laughed that it was a video taken off a tv screen.

   Hey...brain child...that was MY video. I was watching the entire thing LIVE on my phone...saw it happen (even though the guys didn't)...pulled it up on my TV and filmed it to send to them. Yeah...thought so....

   One last thing and then I plan to settle in for the night. My friends were called "wanna be most haunted newbies". First off...I have worked with them for almost two years and they were together for a year before that. I've even been to England to investigate with them...LIVE, btw. Guess what...no faking. As for "most haunted wanna-be's"...do you actually research anything before you write about it? Honest question, I'm really curious. The reason I ask is that if you did, and I sincerely hope you do, you would know it was their footage taken at the Pontifract Poltergiest House that brought attention to the alleged fakery perpetrated by Most Haunted. Viewers who had seen NP's footage a while before Most Haunteds, caught the discrepancy, and it was all over twitter. Might wanna check into that.

   The original team of NP Paranormal was Karl Porter, Dave Newton, Abby Thompson and Richard Burrows. These four people caught some of the most amazing evidence I have ever seen and I've been doing this my whole life, pretty much. Although Karl is not as active a member, and Richard is no longer with the group I stand behind every piece of evidence they have collected. I do this because I trust them. They EARNED it. I have watched this team, along with Beyond Perception Investigators, debunk their own stuff. If they have any doubts they leave it up to the people watching to decide but they will still state, very clearly, that they think it isn't paranormal.

   Again, for the record, I strongly encourage skepticism. I know, first hand, that their are some fakers out there. What I cannot, and will not, tolerate is someone using internet muscle to bash good people. I think we sometimes forget how easy it is to sit behind a screen and state we KNOW something. We may even call ourselves experts. Well...I won't, but some might. Lol. But...until you actually conduct an investigation trying to re-create a situation, to debunk paranormal activity you disagree with...you are NOT an expert. You're a douche with a keyboard and way too much time on your hands. Just sayin...

Paranormal "little ones"...

   Last year a dear friend of mine, Dave Newton from NP Paranormal in Sheffield England, came to me with an idea for a blog. I knew right away that I wanted to do it but I didn't have the time till now.  He reminded me of something that I had long forgotten about, or had at the very least, put in the back of my mind. The effect the paranormal has on children. Primarily speaking of children with special "gifts".

   I touched upon some of the things that these children deal with in both of my books but not as much as I should have. The messages and emails I've received from parents confirms that. The big question most parents have about special children is how to tell if they are really "special". Well...my stock answer is ALL kids are special. That's not going to change...however...I understand they mean it in an entirely different way.

   They mean it in the spooky way. The way that makes their child an outcast, at least in the eyes of mundane society. It honors me that people feel comfortable enough to pose these questions to me. That I've built up a level of trust with those who know my work making them value my opinion. This is NOT something I take lightly so I will answer it here so that others, who I haven't been contacted by, can maybe find some peace as well.

   Being a special child is tricky business. From the child standpoint you don't know you are different. You fully expect others to see/hear/smell/taste/feel/know the things you do. You show no surprise when something strange happens because you simply know nothing different. It's the "norm" for you. You, with an open heart and innocence only a child can have, expect to be able to share what you are experiencing with the people closest to you.

   As the parent of a special child this is all the exact opposite.  If the parent is not gifted in a similar manner they can become frightened of what their child shares with them. If the child does it in the presence of others you can become embarrassed. You may even be afraid of being judged by something beyond your control. Don't beat yourself up, mom and dad, these feelings are normal. How could you possibly know any different if you have not been affected the same way? You may even think that your child is making things up to get attention. And you know what? Some may be doing just that. Again...totally normal.

   What parents need to do is listen to the children. Watch their behavior. If you expect that your child may be gifted, keep a log of what they tell you. If none of it adds up you may have a future fictional author on your hands. A weaver of webs, spinner of yarns, if you will. And that's ok. Some parents may feel relief and some may be disappointed over this. Not uncommon, either way.

   But....

   If you start to record your child's behavior and you notice their accuracy. Their ability to know things they have no possible way of knowing...prepare yourself. If this is the case you will be embarking on a very rough road. Your first instinct may be to shout it from the rooftops at how "special" your child is.

   Please do NOT do this.

   Children have a rough enough time of things under normal circumstances. You add being, what society calls, a freak...or better yet...a FAKE...into the mix, you are going to have a very sad child on your hands.

   Trust me.

   What I recommend....what I am begging you to do...is protect your child. If they have these gifts, nurture them. Talk to them. Comfort them, when needed. To fully accept themselves, when society CLEARLY doesn't, takes YEARS. For myself...it took DECADES. I ran the whole gambit on negative feelings and destructive behavior before I finally said, fuck it, I don't care what others think of me. It took over 40 years before I came to the conclusion that my life, and they way I lived it, did NOT require approval from anyone. I will do a private reading, sketch a drawing, give a read on a pic on the internet...if I so choose...and don't give a rats ass what anyone thinks about it. All I can do is use my "gift" in the most honorable way I know and let the chips fall where they may.

   But this took a very long time, folks. Truly.

   So...for those curious...re-read the post. Memorize it. Soak it in. Be careful of divulging what your child can do but encourage and support their journey. Let them grow into a strong person who can remain unaffected by the pariahs of society who want to use, then ridicule, them. They will know when they are truly ready. Remember...it's their journey. You're just the lucky one who gets to watch this miracle unfold.

   Blessed Be )O(

 

2016: A year in review...

   As I sit here, typing away, I can't help but reflect on the past year and what it has taught me. Set backs, building blocks and waves of emotion have been, just a few, of the things I have had to overcome this year. And I've done it. Not always with grace and style...but I've done it. 

   I stepped out of my "broom closet" a while back. I walked into a world full of egos, lies, deceit, multiple faces and cowardice. But...I was also greeted by loving arms, hope, wonder, friendship and...most of all...acceptance. For every one negative encounter I've had, I can honestly say I've been blessed by positive ones ten times more. 

   For a year that started out horribly, it has blossomed by leaps and bounds, into a life that is beyond my wildest hopes and dreams. In the past year I have had the extreme pleasure of hopping on a plane, with my best friend, and heading off to England. There we spent time, with some of the most fabulous people I know, investigating and exploring. Eating and talking. Taking photos of amazing places and realizing our dreams. I even got to "rub elbows" with some REALLY TV network peeps and investigate one of the most haunted placed in England with them. 

   Dreams, people. Only in my dreams would I ever think this was possible. Yet...it happened. 

   I also explored on my own, via the train in Scotland, and made my way to Glasgow to see a dear friend. You'll read about that in the book and, yes, you have permission to laugh at my antics and clumsiness. In fact...I encourage it! Lol!

   The day I left England was an eye opener for me as it revealed one more piece of the puzzle that is my life. Read the book if you wanna know what I'm talking about. Lol. I won't disclose that here. I will only say this...my date of departure was not a secret. 

   After coming home I began to work on my 3rd book, "Walking With Ghost". As I'm sure you all know by now the title has two meanings. One being the spirits I walk with everyday and two...the ghost of decisions made that we ALL walk with. The choices we make, and the subsequent follies or fantasies from them, shape us in one way or another. Every little thing we do sets us up for the next moment, the next adventure, of our lives. Be it good or bad depends solely on us. Remember that. 

   Not long after I came home I was set to jet off to Virginia where I would investigate with another fantastic group. Just like my peeps in England and Scotland, I have a strong connection to my Virginia folk. We have seen each other through controversy, heartache, betrayal and strife. We have been each others virtual shoulder to cry on and "spewing profanities" sounding board. 

   We are each others rock. True story. 

   While in Virginia I learned just how painful my "gift" can be. I learned, the hard way, that I cannot do it all on my own. I learned that I am fragile. That I can be taken down, by this "gift', and that I shouldn't be afraid to reach out to stronger arms than my own. I learned...in truth...that I'm not alone. I honestly can't tell you how much that means to me. I cried so hard leaving. 

   A couple months later I took my son to New Orleans. I wanted him to see the beauty in the place I love so much. To feel the vibe that I feel when I'm down there. New Orleans is the place that makes my heart beat just a little faster. My blood run a little hotter. My soul shines there and I love it. I am welcomed with open arms by both the living and the dead. It is home. Simple as that. 

   Back in Oklahoma things got a little exciting, as well. Which is funny cause this place is anything BUT exciting. Lol! Just a while back my editor and publisher was contacted by "Ghost Adventures". They wanted to interview him for an upcoming episode. Lovely man that he is, he let me tag along. Afterall, we hadn't seen each other in years (in person) and we needed to catch up. We spent 6 hours on set and I got to meet the fellas and the crew. All in all it was a very nice evening and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Even got a pic with Zac Bagans which, I know, is coveted by many. Lol. Jealous? *wink*

   I'm back in the real world now. Finished the book, we moved our radio show to You Tube with great success and am planning my next adventures. I truly do feel blessed. My appreciation, to those who love me, knows no bounds. In all honesty, I couldn't have done any of this without their support. I only hope I can continue to make you proud. 

A HUGE southern big ol' kiss to these peeps!!!

   Jana Klimek, Mike Rickseker, Gwen and Gene Clapper, Chris Loper, Alyssa Luckett, Kimber Nieman, Laurna Cron, Abby Thompson, Laura Keets, Dave Newton, Karl Porter, Scott Littea, Norene Sampier Balovich, Steven Currie, Fran Molino, Dom Wilkins, Leanne Leveaux, Kathryn Davidson, Sharon Hogden, Joyce Jordan, Jonathan Keepers and many, many more!!! There is NO WAY I can list everyone but I want ya'll to know how much you all mean to me!!
   

Just an update....

   So...I've been off social media (at least not on as much as I normally am) for a while now. I have to say...it's been refreshing. There can be so much drama on here that it honestly drains the soul. I've tried to focus on my art, start a business, and not give a fuck what is going on with other people. 

   I strongly encourage others to do the same. It's amazing what a person can accomplish when they aren't bound by the opinions of others. Unfortunately, the paranormal field is filled with critics. Everywhere you turn there is someone with diarrhea of the mouth trying to discount every little thing you do. As my earlier post specifies...fuck em. Granted...I've always said that if I catch someone faking I will dime them out in a heart beat. That is 100% true. That having been said...I don't cruise the web looking for people to rip apart. 

   I have a life. 

   My life is my son and my art. My paranormal "gift" is something beyond my control but my art is something that comes directly from my soul. Something I take great pride in because it's all mine. Approval not needed...unless you're paying me for it. Lol. Only then does your opinion matter. TRUTH. 

   As for the trolling on twitter to expose people. I liken this to a phrase I heard in a movie a long time ago. It was "The Wedding Planner". I know, I know...not exactly Oscar worthy...but it was a cute movie. Anywhoooo...it was said, in the movie, "those who can't wed, plan!"

   I hate to break it to ya'll but the same theory applies to the paranormal field. It's very easy to sit behind a computer screen, type till your little fingers bleed (cause it's all fast and angry, ya know) and rip people to shreds. Hell...it might even be fun. 

   But....

   You know it doesn't mean shit, right? In the real world....you know what that is, right? It doesn't mean squat. Why, you ask? Well...sit down, kiddos...and I'll clue you in.  

   You see...at least the teams/people that you attack are going out there and doing something. At least they are putting their stuff out there for you to judge cause, trust me, they already know you are going to. AT LEAST they have the balls to put their names and faces on what they do. And every time you go after a team/person all you are doing is giving everyone out there the names of the next person they are gonna follow. You know why? Cause NO ONE trust someone who hides. PERIOD. 

   Now...don't get me wrong...if you have absolute proof (and you know I don't mean absolute OPINION, right?) that someone faked evidence...or you have a good argument on how the evidence COULD have been faked...then by all means expose. But be willing to take the heat when your own identities get revealed. IP addresses are some of the easiest things in the world to uncover. Lol. Now...I personally don't care. Talk shit about me all you want. My rep speaks for itself and I have nothing to hide. But I know some out there who are willing to bet all these new accounts are ran by a couple of bored teenagers. Not really lending a whole lot of credibility your way...just sayin. 

   As for me...I'll be over here...in my little corner...doing my art, working my two jobs (both non paranormal) and helping out teams/individuals as I see fit. I'll be sure to post my "goings on" so you can pull out your "Sherlock Holmes" kit and give me the ol' "what for"....

   Toodles....

Grow up.....

   That's it....I've had it. I am sick and freaking tired of all the "paranormal bullshit" out there. I'm tired of the "fake" ACCTS....I'm tired of the people claiming to "expose" fakers when they are some of the slimiest creatures out there. I'm sick and fucking tired of the claims of "I'm bullied" or "they're jealous of me"! Poor, poor pitiful me, right?

   GROW UP. I don't like fakes, either. So, guess what? I don't fake anything. There...problem solved. Don't like what someone else us doing....don't do it. It REALLY is that simple. For fucks sake people.....get a friggin life!!!!

   If you wanna know what started this it's some lame ass follower calling himself @paranormalfakes claiming to "expose the fakers". This person/group/whatever started following me and some other groups I know. No problem there as we don't fake anything but here's the pickle.....their account is protected so unless we follow them...we have no idea what the hell is being said. Considering the amount of people suffering from "delusions of grandeur" on twitter I consider full disclosure important. Sooooo.....if a twitter acct is hell bent on preaching the gospel truth about others why are they private?

   Yep....I can almost hear the crickets through the silence as y'all process that information. Go ahead....I got a minute...

   So.....I blocked them. Why? Not cause I have anything to hide. Hell...I'm as open a fucking book as they come. Nope...I blocked them because I don't believe in that type of wuss ass, elementary school behavior. I don't play "you show me yours, I'll show you mine". If you're gonna start exposing people start with yourself. Don't hide behind a punk ass mask and a protected account.

 

Vanessa 101...

   Had quite the eventful day! Spent a considerable amount of time watching myself get slandered all over twitter by one particular individual. 

   Yeah...yeah...I know what you're gonna say. Fuck it, right? No worries...already one step ahead of ya. Some people have to live a lie because the truth is just too painful. Thank the Goddess that isn't me. Lol. Honestly, I was more entertained than anything so it wasn't a total loss. Those who care to witness someone burying themselves can go check out my twitter @VanessaRHogle. Feel free to message this person and ask them why their obsession with me seems to have no end. I, for one, would LOVE to know. 

   As for the lesson on myself, and what I believe, I will begin now. I figure it's best coming from me so that no one can get it twisted. 

   I've seen A LOT of talk on what's paranormal and what's not, on social media, lately. Accusations flying back and forth so I figured I would just lay it on the line right here...right now. 

   As far as I'm concerned I do not care one bit if a team makes videos to show their work. I've worked with teams that do only live investigations and those who film and edit later for episodes. I don't have a problem either way as long as the team/individual is honest. Hell...I don't even care if someone wants a TV show...as long as the work remains HONEST. No fake evidence or the like. I'm a simple gal with simple rules. If I find out someone is fake, or being false in ANY WAY, I will pull out completely. Period. Other than that, I don't care. Do what you do...as long as you are contributing real evidence or even if you have an hour of uneventful airtime and I'm bored out of my skull. Keep it honest and I got nothin but love for ya. True story. 

   Just my opinion here, but I think peoples biggest problem with "episodes" and a TV show mentality is the amount of deceit that seems to be involved. The effort put into faking evp's and such. I was told, a year ago, from a previous "member-ish type person" of a well known group exactly how they fake evidence. This was around the time he told me (btw...he used to flirt with me BIG TIME...made me a little uncomfortable as it did my boyfriend at the time) about the threat against me. 

   This well known group, he said, used a technique called "rubbing" to "capture" evp's. From what I understand it means that you hold the evp in your hand and rub your thumb over it to get a noise that you can't hear with your ears but shows up on an evp. Maybe it was called "thumbing". Oh well...one of those two. He also said they faked their photographs and "imprinted' other evp's. Good to know, right? If a team will not put their recorders down during an investigation maybe you should question it? I know I do. Finding out all this from this person PLUS seeing the text sent to him saying one particular member of this team wanted to "put his fist through my skull" made for an interesting little bit. I, of course, posted a screenshot of the text on twitter. That was fun. I think I got blocked after that. Lol. Oh well...bummer. 

   This same person who came across as a confidant, and preached ethics above all else, is now slandering me..along with a few others, on Instagram. Lol. The paranormal shit storm never ends, my beautiful peeps. I was sent a screenshot of the IG saying I "have a face like a bag of arseholes". Was written by my ex boyfriend. Honestly...I think that makes me look pretty good cause he's the one who liked the "arsehole" face. Go figure, lol. What bothers me more is the fact this person is now calling me a fake when he told me I was one of the most accurate psychics he's ever worked with. According to the screenshot my friend sent me of the IG he goes by Haunted Explorations. I'd bet you dollars to donuts that's Kester, himself. Lol. Like I wouldn't recognize the stairway at the Pontefract Poltergeist house! Lol. 

   These are the same people who told me I was being ridiculous for refusing to charge people for readings. Yep...true story. 

   My point is...this is what I know of the paranormal community. Those who are trying to be as real as possible...honest to a fault, really...get shit on. Like today I got called fake, a bully, a stalker, fame hungry and psycho. Ok...I'll concede...I can be a little psycho...but only when pushed. *insert big cheesy grin here* BUT...as for the others...not in a million years. As for the bully part...I stand up for others regardless of what it cost me. As for the stalking part...I was attacked on my own twitter feed from this person I have blocked and am not friends with. She used a way in through a conversation I was having with someone else. 

   So who is stalking who? 

   As for fame hungry...nope. The absolute LAST thing I want. I am perfectly content with how things are right now. My future is the businesses I'm starting. I design one of a kind jewelry pieces, voodoo dolls, make bath bombs, bath salts and chakra balancers. That's my future right there. Of course I will keep doing this as long as I am able...but I will continue to take nothing for it. I am not going to slam anyone who does take money for it but it's not how I do things. My gift, my business. 

   Until the time comes that I can no longer do what I do and benefit others, this is how it will be. Love me or hate me you can't deny this...I don't mince words. If I call you out know that I have reason, and proof, or else the words would never leave my lips. I don't care how rich or fame hungry anyone is...as long as they stay honest in the field. If you can't then get the hell out. That's exactly how I would do it. 

   Blessed Be )O(

   

Oops...I did it again...

   Alright, kiddos...getting ready to throw a little truth your way.  Some may not care for this but, hey, since when has that stopped me, right? Well...I've been watching the banter on social media. Mostly twitter, I suppose. It got me to thinking about a whole lot of stuff and I think I'm gonna share....

   Fact #1:...there are literally THOUSANDS of "paranormal" groups and individuals on social media. 

   Fact #2:...There is NO WAY every one of those groups/individuals are in it for the same reasons. 

   Fact #3:...we won't always agree on everything but the one thing we can agree on is this.....the egos are immense in this field. 

   Let's face it, guys...it's one big spectral "dick judging" contest. Who ever has the biggest ecto-orgasm wins, right? This is what pisses me off about the whole thing and makes me question whether or not I wish to stay in it publicly. But...I'm too big of a loud mouth bitch to go far so I figure I might as well shake things up while i'm here. 

   For those who believe the "paranormal" is not science...well...that may be so...for now. What you can't seem to understand is that there is NOTHING WRONG with wanting the two to be related. Trying to figure out, scientifically, how spirits communicate after death is not a new concept. In fact, the american military/government has had their own experiments involving psychics, remote viewing, and the like. I repeat...THIS IS NOT NEW. 

   Anyone who is involved in this field, for the betterment of it, should welcome questions regarding their evidence. Not slander without merit or unjustified insults...but real questions. And you should be able to back up those questions, and should want to, with your unedited footage. Period. It really is THAT simple. 

   There is also a place for the "entertainment by way of paranormal" teams/individuals out there. No one is saying "go away" to you. At least not if you openly admit that's what you're all about. No shame in that game...as long as your honest. The world could use more entertainment, really. But...if your going to try and pass yourself off as real investigators, sensitives, researchers...you better be able to back it up and expect questions. That's the only way to progress. Put up or shut up, so to speak. 

   I can only speak for myself, and I've said this before, I openly welcome ANYONE to question what I do and how I do it. I strongly recommend verifying the information I give you. I will NEVER claim to be right...EVER. Do I hope I am? Of course I do. Am I usually...ironically, yes. But I could just as easily be wrong. So I don't take offense one little bit if the questions come...just don't be insulting or I'll curse ya. Lol. Just kidding!!

   Maybe...

   Anywhooooo.....before you decide to rip me to shreds (go ahead, I know you wanna) over this blog...ask yourself these questions...

   1) Can I back up my evidence and am willing to disclose all?

   2) Do I want fame or answers...or both? 

   3) Am I willing to be part of a community or do I choose to stand alone so I stand out? 


   Think about it...

   Blessed Be )O(
