All gifts are welcome - the explanation

I send out a weekly horoscope email* (horoscopes by the renown Rob Brezsny whose column is "Free Will Astrology" and can also be found here).  The beginning of the email includes some of my belly gazing thoughts.  This week however I got an email from Frannie who didn't understand the subject line or my musings.

Well, it was really obtuse and not understandable, which is what I wanted.

The subject line was:  All gifts are welcome.

This refers to a present I got from my house cleaner (whose work is not a luxury - a necessity.  I would rather pay my house cleaner than eat).  I believe she got it for me to feel better about Boo's passing.  And the gift is really touching.  And they ROCK.

They are earrings - hoop earrings to be exact.

Awesomeness.  So as the subject line explains:  All gifts are welcome.

The other thing I wrote was just a single word at the beginning of the email:  dirigible.

I was listening to a The Decemberists' song and they used the word "dirigible."  Now that's a word that doesn't get used very often and it is really fun to say.  Dirigible.  Dir-i-juh-buhl.  Try it.
