I have many questions for you, like will my pet rock now be un-dead or truly alive. Also will this method work with pets and loved ones who have passed? Lastly if a rock is found in the wild how will i tell if it lives or is dead? Maybe you could post your home phone so interested parties could contact you directly? I have many questions about many things, and I am very lonely. I love you, I mean goodbye and thanks.
