While deuing my research,
I did come a cross these fun tid bits from
The Meaning of Names:

My Past Life
"You were a female in your last earthly incarnation.
*Ebbery one wheu knew My Angel Sister Comet
and knows me now, says
I am Comet reincarnated.*


Your brief psychological profile in that past life
Inquisitive, inventive,
liked to get to the very bottom of things
and to rummage in books.
*I all so like teu ETT books.*

Lessons that your last past life brought to present
There is the invisible connection
between material and spiritual world.
Your lesson -
to search, to find and to use this bridge.
*My Bridge Connections are strong.*

And now I whill ask fur more ob yeur questions,
fearing that Yeu whill be sorry Yeu asked...

[I whas naught blessed wif brebity.]

  3. Weu Heu, Reufus!

    Many long years ago there was a band from Chicago named Rufus and they had many albums of rocking and rolling. One album was called
    "Rufusized" and I think of that almost every time I read your blog. What do you think of that? Do you know this band? Did you ever hear of Chaka Kahn who sang with them?

    Kisses,
    Stella and Jo

  4. Reufus,

    We learned so much tonight our collective heads hurt. Did you know the name Reufus is also in the Bible.
    In the Apostle Paul's letter to the church in Rome he said;


    Romans 16:13

    Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother, who has been a mother to me, too.

    Though it's not spelled the same, we are sure Paul wanted the name to be included.

    Love Ya,

    Hamish & Sophie

  8. Hmmm, a question. Little Man, how would you feel about having a brofur or sisfur and how close do you think your the Mom is to making such a monumental decision? Or - is being an only child more suitable to your lifestyle and that of your the Mom?
