Hey Frag,

how soon after you do the turtle spit thing is it suppose to rain?
it hasn't worked yet...........

Rae

It was about 26 hours later here. Want me to send you some spit?
Maybe mine is *special*.

(laughing)
No thanks!
(more laughing)
I think my husband's works just fine..........................(still
laughing!)
Sorry - couldn't resist - but seriously now.
You must have looked at your local forecast before you made your
turtle. I bet if we did it (the turtle thing!) again saturday - it
will rain sunday (even though they said this morning we will only get
about an inch)

We were only supposed to have a 20% chance of rain but they had said that
pretty much every day for weeks before my spit-take. I'll be honest,
though, I chose to do it in the middle of an ancient native American
encampment site. I think the spirits of those old Americans might have
sensed the urgency in my spit. I only have a few days to search that
field for artifacts before the crops get too big and I couldn't search
well without rain. It rained the next day and I hit the motherlode in
that field. I'd like to think it worked like that, at any rate.

Now that makes more sense to me. wonder if an old civil war battleground
would work as well................plenty of them around here. this has
already become the 2nd driest season on record for our area. the expected
inch won't even put a dent in our problem. it probably won't even take an
hour for the ground to soak it up. I'm beginning to think we need a
tropical storm with lots of rain, but with out the winds and thunderstorms

Er... be careful what you wish for -- you may just get it. After a few
days of rain I was wondering how to get my spit back.

What do you think, Buderschnookie?

If you want, Rachael, I'll go to my 5000 Spells book and look up the spells
for rain again but I think the turtle was, by far, the easiest to do.

When you made your turtle, did you remember the tail? I think the tail is
very important since that's sort of the... um... water end. ))

TS barry only brought us about 1 &1/2 inches of rain. Didn't even begin to
touch the now almost ten inch rain deficient. It's so dry here that it
didn't even take an hour for all the rain to dry up. Oh well, I guess we
are gonna have to keep praying, dancing, spitting, and snake killing around
here. Either that or go ahead and agree with Frag that he must have "magic"
spit................

She.

And I think it was the location AND the magic spit.

How to STOP rain from The Element Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells:

"It's recommened that women expose their genitals to a storm to quiet it.
(Note, not MEN: exposing male genitals is interpreted as a challenge and we
never want to challenge nature when it really matters as an even more
destructive storm may result.)


There are other spells but this one amused me the most.

Sorry! I thought i put she/he?. that's what i meant to put anyways - my
mind was moving faster than my fingers. believe it or not - they actually
put out a twister warning for my county at the same time I had started
writing that post. I was mainly thinking about getting it sent and getting
the comp off. We just had 2 more inches of rain in 30 minutes. I guess our
spit must just be working in spells.........i still agree with the theory of
your rain being because of the location.

That's why your spit didn't work. You're a non-believer. :P~

Blatant sexism, that's what it is, plain and simple. Try to doing your
civic duty of helping with the rain problem and what happens? You end up
registering with the local authorities for the rest of you life.
