How about housewarmings? A carryover from the "old country" (pick one!)
blessing: A gift of bread (may you never know hunger), salt (may life
always have flavour) and wine (joy and prosperity).

The Hawaiians are big on blessings. Most people don't know a thing about
Hawaiian religion but we don't like to take chances with the gods of the
aina. Do people on the mainland bless new buildings and ventures?

Absolutely yes - we're big on sage ceremonies too so that bad spirits
are released.

If you believe that people that use ti leaves to cook food are special, well
okay. OTOH, I'm a pretty special people. Because of me, you have learned
that it's possible to cook with ti leaves. My guess is that you had no idea
that ti leaves existed before I brought it up. That's pretty special, right?

===

I had to look that up. The flowers are very pretty

I got this from Wiki:

Cordyline fruticosa is an evergreen flowering plant in the Asparagus family,
Asparagaceae, known by a wide variety of common names, including cabbage
palm, good luck plant, palm lily, ti plant, Kī, L�"ī, Tī Pore, Sī, Lauti,
and ʻAutī

Any ceremony which promotes that is a very good thing to do.

He has been after dsi1 for quite awhile, banging away on every post dsi1
makes. In fact he picks out people to hassle incessantly on many occasions,
very troll-like at times.

"At times" being roughly most of the time, yes...

I think what is most interesting here is that sanctimonious Bwuthie has
widened his insult list to the point he has precious few defenders here
any more.

Now this was bound to happen of course, but in his ardor to virtually
"drop trou" here he exposed far more than his inner snark, he gave us a
guided tour through the mind of a misanthrope.

So mote it be.

He is what he is as is everyone here. Annoying at times, but funny at
times. The more people criticize someone, the more people push back.
You can kill file, ignore, or call names, but you tend to reap what you
sow sort of thing. Maybe it is best to just sit back, relax, sip a
Crystal Palace.

Blessing animate or inanimate objects is a throw-back to when our forebears
(monkeys) were scared living in the jungles. Dem wild cats had big teeth.
Blessing anything is a frickin waste of time and effort.

I've never really looked at the flowers of the ti plant. I didn't even know they had flowers. OTOH, I suppose they have to have flowers.

These rituals and beliefs have it's origins in man's earliest days and are buried deep within our DNA. We cannot cast them off any more than we can rid ourselves of the remnants of our ancient physiology. You could say that the human spine is stupid and a frickin waste of time but as far as I know, we're stuck with it for the next few hundred thousand generations.

When I agree with dsi1, I say so. Sometimes I find him annoying, but
I'm sure that's mutual.

Are you now really discussing behaviour with the Boner Troll? You're
