And go well with chocolate ice cream, carmel, and hot fudge. I love having a husband who feels that he should take care of his pregnant wife by bringing her banana splits in bed. His Mama raised him right. (winks)

Fluribus maybe there's more than 1 definition for Karma? So one could have a primeval definition of Karma, and a flippant definition and a one size fits all definition etc
