Sharing the secrets of your hearth with strangers who will never be able to meet or thank you. Honoring the dead through learning their traditions of the home; emulation and exaltation. A good carrot cake.
The reason it sounds like that is because they put so many ghosts (abalone, dinosaur, etc) in it (admiring). Hope this helps!
Working w my jiujitsu instructor tonight and he's like "An important concept when practicing jiujitsu is tori-uke. The uke is the person on the receiving end of the technique" and I had to clamp my mouth shut so hard

Me (graduated summa cum laude from Yaoi University class of 2011):
“Dogs are not stubborn, spiteful, or withholding. They either haven’t been adequately taught and the behavior sufficiently proofed, or they have not been motivated to act. There are no other options.
In a related development, training in the scientific manner also requires that massive and personally challenging thing called a paradigm shift (with apologies for resorting to a cliché, but it is the only shoe that fits here). One must get out from under historically weighty beliefs, which also happen to be utterly wrong, of how dogs work.
As with a bridge, though, these conceptions of dogs amount to pilings that are sunk deep, through multiple geologic layers of belief. You have to pull them out from the sucking notions of free will. And beneath that from wishful thinking. And beneath that from bedrock beliefs of what we’re all doing here in the first place.
Oh, is that all? Just change the worldview bequeathed to you by thousands of years of Western thought, and you, too, can get your dog to come when called.”
