Hi SapphicHeart, well your intent was "silly Q's," but you would mind if I got kinda philosophical, here? ...because the Vietnamese Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, actually suggests a grace before meals where you are thanking the food...
"and we thank every being in the animal, vegetable and mineral world for our support and maintenance."
Virginia, you took my question in the direction I hoped for. Silly question to me means nothing more than it can be taken any direction you wish. Your association will be the master/mistress of our mutual journey. I love these unexpected angles, being presented for experiences I'm not aware about when I asked my question. Makes me think if i one day should ask how to define silly in this connection. The other day I mentioned clown as expression inside a post. It was taken literally as the clown we best know from circus, however the word does cover more than this depending on how we've use it. Silly is somewhat the same in my mind. Hmm.
