Ham

Maybe it has something to do with the fig pep and all.. actually.. I think the familia tasted a whole heck of a lot better with a little bit of olive oil.. but I "rolled my own" (the familia).. and it was a lot more generous with almonds, walnuts, pecans, etc.. than what would ordinarily be served..

I dunno.. in a way, its nice to fit one of the above descriptions. *They* will leave you alone.. won't "witness" so much or anything..

reincarnation advocate.. hmm. what's really weird.. people who fit the above descriptions, I have a *serious* interest in understanding why they think what they think.. as far as reincarnation goes.. I have a few vivid impressions of what may have been in other lifetimes. But of course, it is all subjective. It might only be another illusion, no worse than others..

I thought that was how it always has been..

I almost expected you to say.. If it walks like a multi-level marketing program, and quacks like a multi-level program...

I dunno.. if one can avoid them.. I'll ask the question, why didn't you avoid them.. to which I would say.. I absolutely agree. maybe it just wasn't the experience one wanted, or expected.. well.. I won't say unexpected. Or unwanted.. at least personally..

I wonder how much Federal and State income tax he pays.. Yeah, he's probably a tax exempt outfit, but he DOES draw a salary, doesn't he?

Sounds pretty "nuts" even by my standards..

Isn't he just a tad too old for this kind of nonsense? Just saying..

Maybe.. if you watch eyes roll up at the mention of "merry Christmas"..

Pretty close.. but it is missing the bite marks

Well.. you can understand the *other* seriously disturbed.. but you don't have to agree with them exactly.. which is fine. Some think we are all insane fragments of Diety, trying to find their way home.. I'm not sure I entirely disagree..

Perhaps. But maybe one has to define "reality". As in.. "oh my gawd.. now I need a manicure to fix the effects of my desperate clawing.. etc. etc.." so one updates one' profile on facebook.. "send in the beauticians and manicurists.." I'm not saying I agree with it, I just understand it.. there are advantages to being seriously disturbed..

I have one professor, who just BREATHES real analysis.. I'll omit my expletives here.. but this character lives in it.. I still need a wetsuit, a snorkel and a floaty thingy.. "now.. this is EASY.." words fail me here..

I don't either.. but maybe I do.. one character looked at me.. said *we* aren't all so smart ya know.." no kidding.. for a moment he knew what I knew.. maybe that was the whole point..

You know things are really screwed up when its the *leader*'s kid (or spouse, or sibling) that is sick, because of *your* lack of abundant sharing.. or believing, or faithfulness, or whatever.. maybe its from the debilish dust bunnies running amok behind the refrigerator..

I think its like the miracle of the loaves and fish. But a lowly trainee has to start somewhere. Why not *believe* to stretch three or four squares of toilet paper to perform the *duty* of half a roll? I'd say more.. but I can stand even my own imagination so far..

I had a weird dream about London a few years ago.. maybe I shouldn't say..

I won't argue the fact. The Problem, isn't being serious disturbed. The real *problem* is not knowing one is seriously disturbed. Without this kind of insight, one can not take advantage of one's state of disturboudnouss, or lack thereof, for one's advantage, if one is aware of it..

hey.. at least he had a few good drugs..

I don't see what is so objectionable about being "wrong".. Isn't that the whole point? Its easier, losing it all in one moment.. I think anyway.. what if you found EVERYTHING you were taught was wrong.. it can be either.. your worst nightmare, or a dream come true..

well, sowie.. I don't take it all that so serious anymore.. I don't expect people to somehow miraculously "walk by the spirit" and get the true intent of what I have to say here.. why am I here.. sometimes it's just because this is where the party is "happening" of sorts.. I don't think you were being lambasted. Maybe that's the effect of the response.. maybe its more like people here were trying to understand you.. your name.. papertrained.. there are MANY connotations.. my screen name is ham, mainly because I have a ham radio license.. I got involved in ham radio a few years before my departure from the way..
