Nope, I am saying before and after only have a meaning if you need them
to.

Are you kidding? Last night we had dinner in a restaurant during one of
the most spectacular tropical lightening thunder storms one could ever
imagine, you could sense the motion of your hairs litterally stand on
end as a huge bolt of lightening struck a yacht's mast less then 20
meters from where we were sitting, several people screamed as the
massive and deafening (ear drums sensed the motion caused by the noise
too George) clap of thunder rattled the glass in the doors right beside
our table, I could sense the motion of the goose bumps growing on my
skin.

Time has NOTHING to do with hunger pains George, dont be silly. Gosh I
have been known to eat at sunrise and not eat again until sunset, I
have been known to wait until there are no shadows in the middle of a
hot sunny day.

I have explained that to you George, time is only a tool used by man,
discovered by man, to help him solve the problems of his survial. It
means nothing to a martian as you have now discovered, oh no look you
didn't answer.
Explain to a martian what it means when you say e.g. I had a crap 10
minutes ago, and see what I mean.
