I have that bump. Maybe this is why I routinely dream about going through each and every one of my tedious morning tasks, only to wake up and realize I'm going to have to do them AGAIN. And I still dream of missing the schoolbus.The Sisterhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889577041903181315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7740983595962649109.post-8629974930093741762013-07-12T19:31:40.007-07:002013-07-12T19:31:40.007-07:00With all the creaking and cracking sounds emanatin...With all the creaking and cracking sounds emanating from my neck when I move it, dare I hope that I, too, may be growing one of those magical nuchal crests?

I think mine's more a nutch-al, cuz it sounds close to a hutch, which is what my brain is, and contains nut, which is certainly appropriate for me, natch.

Here in Georgia, where it should be warm, we have had rain every day since 30 June and as I speak it is all dark out and I hear terrible thunder.

The English version seems sadly to be shortened - but a wonderful story is "The Hemulen who loved Silence": "(...) The hemulen's job was to punch holes in tickets, so that people wouldn't have fun more than once, and such a job is quite enough to make anyone sad if you have to do it all your life. <br />The hemulen punched and punched, and while punching he used to dream of the things he would do when he got his pension at last. <br />In case someone doesn't know what a pension is, it means that you can do what you like in all the peace you wish for, when you're old enough. At least that was how the hemulen's relatives had explained it to him." Read it! Husband once gave a seminar about "Philosophy in children's books" - Tove ranked absolutely high. <br />PS: Husband has of course a nuchal crest too.

However, I find its gifts incredible. While he says it caused a temporary vertigo that sometimes makes me feel tipsy even though I have not tippled, I think I'm on to something that the alcohol barons may not like. Indeed, your 'nuchal crest' seems to have greater power--viz your creative output over the years--since my bump is just a newbie, who knows what may come of it. I'm inspired by you, young master!Williehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13672263724813424429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7740983595962649109.post-38622134262722271932013-07-09T20:14:03.475-07:002013-07-09T20:14:03.475-07:00Since I do have a nuchal crest, I'm wondering ...Since I do have a nuchal crest, I'm wondering why my brain doesn't work as intricately and eloquently as yours.
