Don't forget to rabbit rabbit!
Comments (14)Yes you're supposed to say it every month. I actually say "pele pele, rabbit rabbit" as I took a piece of lava from the big island of hawaii and bad things started happening to everyone in my family and DH's family one right after the other until I did that. Since then, things have quieted back down to a more normal state of catastrophe. My mother always said it seemed to help her find good parking spots, but that was about it....See MoreDon't forget to rabbit rabbit ... tomorrow's April 1
Comments (35)Annie, how are you doing? I've gotten a lot of good input from you in prior threads about mindful meditation, seasonal depression, etc. I hope your good acts are coming around to serve you in this uncertain time. Take care....See MoreDon't forget to rabbit rabbit tomorrow - Nov. 1
Comments (14)We did it! Interesting tidbit. I was on a live streaming video chat last night and someone said don't forget to rabbit rabbit! I of course was surprised that someone brought it up. I said we always try to remember. That started a discussion about what it is and what it means. So a lot more people now know about it. 😁...See MoreDon't forget to rabbit rabbit!
Comments (27)The full story: Decades ago we went to Hawaii and I, against all better advice, took home a piece of lava off the Big Island which was said to anger Pele and she would bring on all kinds of evil. When I got home, one after the other, bad things were befalling members of my family...broken leg, surgery, etc. So then I started saying "Pele Pele rabbit rabbit" as a way to keep her happy, and it generally seemed to work. Now, DH has been in the hospital several days and finally came home on 10/31. So I told him to be sure to say rabbit rabbit. He says he did before he started moaning in pain. I, having had only about 4 hours sleep over the last 3 days managed to say "Rabbit rabbit" then remembered Pele and said "Pele Pele" after that, so she wasn't first on the list. Uh Oh. Well, last night she got me back. Last night, I had a glass of wine (I'm not supposed to be drinking because of my health issues) and managed to fall asleep on the couch. Woke up about 9:30 and went to bed and went right back to sleep. Then at midnight, I wake up to this high-pitched alarm. I run to DH thinking it's his cpap and he's stopped breathing! I get in his room and he's up saying, "What the h@ll is that!" I check the alarm system and it's the waterbug under the refrigerator. I try to stop the alarm and sort of manage. So then the two of us are in the kitchen trying to look under the fridge to see if anything is wet. We then struggle to figure out how to move the darn thing...pry bars and wood and such. The alarm co. calls us to tell us we have an alarm (thank you so much). We finally move the fridge out (Oy! The dust!) I'm digging around back there and the water bug is completely dry! The alarm went off for no reason! I'm reading the alarm manual and somehow figure out how to do a bypass for the unit on the system and I think I finally managed. Finally, back to bed. After a few hours, I was finally able to get to sleep again. Hooray! We'll call the alarm people today and have them fix it. As I'm cleaning up the dust behind the fridge at 5:30 this a.m. it dawns on me: Pele was punishing me for not putting her first! Yes, I hear you Pele!...See Moremtnrdredux_gw
