Dear Bro.,

Thank you so much for your response to my first question. Yes, I do want to say that I realize that at least some of the problems my wife and I have experienced could be due to natural causes, etc. However, it's the pattern of the problems that cause us to believe there is a curse, some more aspects of which I'd like to receive your insights on.

I believe that even our one cat may have suffered as an indirect result of the curse, as the problems that he had added greatly to our financial situation, with vet bills. That would be normal to most, except that the problem with struvite crystals in his bladder (again a common problem) was coupled with an infection of e. coli at the same time and the need to get an expensive ultrasound and keep the condition under control with meds for the rest of his life. What struck me most was that the advanced team that tested him said his case of crystals, which came on very suddenly, was the "worst [they] had ever seen".

Another 4 aspects had to do with the job of substitute mail carrier for the USPS I had for 3 years. This is where the lack of gainful employment really stuck out for me. As a rural carrier, you have to wait for seniority to allow you to go FT with benefits. I was forced to wait 2 years for an open route I was next in line for, because the person retired under disability. In the meantime, since we had to provide our own delivery vehicles and maintain them, my RH drive Jeep never went without being in for major repairs for more than 5 or 6 weeks at a time, to the point at last where I couldn't work for a week; so the sub PM, who had never been there before, or since, the day he forced me to quit, really had it in for me (unfairly and almost demonically) over this. Lastly, about a month after the Jeep was finally sold, I learned that it burst completely into flames for the new owner, as if to punctuate the curse. She couldn't even read the insp. sticker it just received.

Thanks!
