Do atheists also not believe in the ego? I laugh and laugh a hearty belly laugh at my query.

Atheists talk more about God than anyone else does.

I'm reading that Oprah book by Eckhart Tolle. I haven't signed up for the workshop, busy with school and all, but the book so far is making a second coat of paint to the kitchen walls seem unimportant.

Even though I patched holes again in between coats and am looking at spackle (sp?) right now.

And my ego wants to head five houses down to retrieve my week ago wind-blown garbage can that I think someone wants me to forget about.

I need it though. It's sitting right next to their house ...With two cars in the driveway. I think they're watching for me out the front window, just waiting to tell me there's no address painted can-side. At which point I can offer them the lid. As either proof or another gift.

I just want my stupid can! Put it on the GD treelawn so I can identify it and come get it! The silly situation is making me whacky.

The woman who lives there has a CHOC sticker on her van. Maybe I can trade her some CHOC for my can. Wish I knew what, not even Jesus but, a normal individual would do.
