Yep.. there is always that.. I've told my other half.. Its been long, sometimes ugly.. do you want to hear it again? I'd be glad to tell.. Its all part of the agreement..

maybe I should rephrase this.. what should *I* do..

thank you for your words.. so what have we learned, this time around.. what do we do now..

Thank you for sharing your story.. :)

What I wonder is.. they've cut ties. Why do they still have j.l.'s gawd awful letter to "way believers" on their website? Just wonder..

I dunno.. friend, you ARE someone.. I've gone through a lot of crap to figure that out.. yeah, I might be small.. and all, but that is ok..

I don't think its that serious and all.. I've gone through something like this, and it didn't kill me or anything..

I was thinking of more.. about seven seconds more into the light.. the more I think about it.. maybe the almighty has some kind of road trip he needs somebody to go on.. hey, I know a little math and chemistry.. maybe they need math plastics, and modern electronics somewhere..

I'm an "eleven".. I don't know how much sense this all makes.. I'm as stable (spiritually) as water.. it absolutely drives others, including family and friends, and myself, NUTS.. but I know who I am.. it might be very, very small.. but yes, that's who I am.. the vision I saw.. it was one place I belonged..

I hope there is a happy ending to all of this.. there was one for me.. suppose you found all you believed was wrong.. so friggin what.. is there joy and gladness in this.. or mourning.. the key question is, what do you do, NOW.. I was lucky.. I keep looking.. where will the path lead.. every dream I've had has come to pass.. except for the last one.. I'm in a very tall building.. everyone else around me is clothed in white.. the building is made of twenty meter tall glass walls.. only made of glass.. we are all clothed in white.. what is it.. the closest this relm has had to offer.. heh.. About 600 of us.. clothed in Black..

Paw was at this one roast.. I'd like to see his rating.. how many stars did we garner.. I shouldn't ask *me*.. heh

Sooo.. what did you lose, or rather, gain, by the experience.. I've lost and gained quite a bit..

Maybe you need to look into the light for about 9/10 of a second.. I did something like that once.. so what if everything you believed was just plain WRONG..

was this the famed (or infamous, depending on one's opinion) corps graduation ring?

wouldn't suprise me. "here's da cost of da verd, keeds..." Did he put it back in, after passing it around? And the big question: where is it now? On rosie's mantle? questions, questions..

Like the last limb coordinator here I had the *pleasure* to have any dealings with.. His claim to fame was that learned in the corps, not to mix his bread and vegetables. Doing so would invite devils or something, and produce 000all kinds of gastro-intestinal disasters.. another *memorable* moment was the claim that drinking water would give one energy. How so? "well.. it's made up of hydrogen and oxygen. we know what happens when you put hydrogen and oxygen together.." I didn't even begin to argue.. I hear they promoted him.. regional coordinator or something.. has the mental capacity barely over that of a brick.. has a "big job" in da ministry.. but the most curious observation.. his wife was absolutely stunningly beautiful, and BRILLIANT. Maybe opposites attract.. who knows..

Sounds pretty logical to me.. I wonder if they will consume us area 51 nuts after preparing us like some kind of sushi, soaked in Bacardi's 151..

Lovelace knew how to program Babbages machine.. I think before anyone figured out a practical way to build one..

I don't know if I miss the fellowship.. I think more than that, I miss my family..

aye, aye aye..

True.. I generally try to rein it in though, use my provocative "powers" for the good of man.. sometimes I'm just trying to provoke a laugh.. people don't always take me the way I intend it.. Oh.. the roast. It's like Vegas. What happens at the roast generally stays at the roast.. or something like that.

Maybe we can convince Lilhawk to bring some more elderberry wine.. consume with caution, if there is such a thing..

Technology had to catch up with Babbage.. Now Ada Lovelace.. She died one of the worst deaths of the day..

We really need another wienie roast. No, we REALLY do.. Now, the one in Kentucky.. nobody got damaged, did they? I'll bring the gas fired expresso maker.. along with the Cabernet. I'll be an *innocent* bystander this time..

well.. there are "better" drugs. Just not entirely legal anymore.. I was at some kind of crisis in life.. and somebody suggested some kind of Buddhist meditation.. so I thought.. what the hay. Can't do a whole heck of a lot.. so I spend the few moments focusing on the energy coming out of an area a few inches or so above the belly button.. the results took about a week.. but it more than blew a couple of fuses.. then I was on a Quest. *what* happened to me.. heh. I asked everybody.. I didn't care what they thought about my current or lack of current mental state.. the nice lady with the finest education and degree said basically.. "dang happens" heh.. she had seen the same thing before. She ended up being more a guidance counsellor, than a therapist.. the lady who studied Kaballah said something like.. "we tell our people, don't look directly into the light, you'll get BURNED.." heh.. sowy. too late friend.. about 3/4 of a second was enough for me.. another fraction of a second, and I don't think I would have survived, in this current material form.. well.. they still let me roam the streets.. heh The really weird thing about all of this.. I am at peace. Anybody else who experienced anything like this.. I'd love to hear from you.. I hope I'm not the only one here..
