Most customs are pretty harmless. In America, you shake hands with someone when you meet them. In Japan, you bow. When you bump in to someone you say, "excuse me". These things are just second nature to most people and are completely harmless. The social customs surrounding sneezing, however, have driven me to distraction. Everytime someone sneezes, some well-wisher just has to say "god bless you" or the less formal (but equally irritating) "bless you". What's wrong with "gazundheit"? How come everytime there's a sneeze, I'm supposed to run over and bless them? Anyway, in order to help me keep track of everything that needs blessing, I've made this page available. If there's anything you'd like to have me bless, use this page to get it added to my "To do" list. Just place the name of the person or object you'd like blessed in the box and hit the BLESS button.
If you're not really in the mood to bless anybody, but you'd like to see if someone has added your name to my list, you can check it out here.
BACK TO GOD!
