Photos of a couple more events

The Getty Museum - 11/12/10

Candy, she came directly from work without going home and changing so these were her work clothes. Candy and Lorinda took all the other photos with their own cameras.

Pottery Sale 11/20/10

Edey and her new boyfriend Mike.

Gary's Photos

Gary Hart!!!!

Thankyou for posting those photos. :happydance:

It's nice to see all the people in your life that you share with us so often. Johnny Raff looks good. Did you hook he and Lorinda up? Edey has another beau? And now I know what Candy looks like. I thought I might recognize her but I do not.
I wish I lived on the West Coast so I could participate in some of the fun. We exes are all recluses here on the East Coast compared to y'all. Might have to do something about that. We just don't have a common cause.

Keep the photos coming. :D:D Please.at

A front page story in the San Francisco Chronicle told the story of a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth.

A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farallon Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed an environmental group for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her. They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her.

When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushing them gently around as she was thanking them. Some divers said it was the most beautiful experience of their lives.
The diver who cut the rope out of her mouth said her eyes were following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.

Hats. I remember you saying that you really wanted to see the photos right after Sept 29. when I met Joan and Johnny together in my home town of Fullerton and introduced Johnny and Edey. You know of course that neither Edey nor Lorinda are ex Scios. Rather, they are both what they call "intuitives". They have psychic abilities of a sort and both are also "life coaches" and healers.

I have found that the peope with these characteristics are my natural soul group. With them, I am an opinion leader and am loved beyond belief. To a man (or woman), they all believe in past lives, intention and posstulates, entities, each of us having our own universe, the physical universe being agreed upon and changing and most of the stuff taught in C of S.

Hats, Johnny is not dating Lorinda. They live about 45 miles apart and Johnny is quite busy with his Wonderworld project. Lorinda is a very beautiful person but her life is undergoing some major changes right now, and she just ended a major second dynamic affair and she is in a healing mode. I am very close with Lorinda and we talk every day by phone and hang out together 3 to 4 days a week. She knows a little about Mozart and wants to know more just to please me. Also, I own the Magic Flute Opera on DVD directed by Ingmar Bergman, the film maker with a Swedish cast. I wanted her to watch about 30 minutes of it with me as an intro to opera and she agreed to do that next week. As friends, her and Edey are both very giving, loving and considerate. I have never had friendships anything like these before in this lifetime. I did have long friendships with Beverly Carter and Sue Todhunter but hey were nowhere near as inense as these friendships are.

One of the major fallacies of C of S and Hubbardism that I am now seeing, is the blockage of communication which is enforced on people studying Scientology. This is so extremely wrong in the fullest sense of the word. It just totally blocks spiritual growth and blocks a being from expanding towards his/her full potential.

Hey Hats, do I look like anything like you imagined? You talked with me by phone and said that I sound about 30 on the phone. I will be 71 in about a week but sure do not feel it. Do you think I look that old?

God Hats, I wish you could visit the West Coast in the near future! You would fit well into the circles in which I am moving. In this current phase of my life, I seem to be hanging out with attractive women and getting to be extremely close and personal friends with them. I have something which they like because they really treasure my friendship. I come across very "safe". Lorinda said that there was an honesty and sincerity which I project plus a complete willingness to help, no matter what is required, that she has never seen so strong in anyone else before. When she told me that, I was was on "cloud 9' for days.

I remember this news story. Thanks for posting it. Great evocative pics.

Carmelo, all o.k. with you? :)

yes and no

it's complicated

2 dozen people for turkey day

everybody had a great time, two came from Paris to be here

the snit going on at BB's Yahoo group place carrying over here to ESMB has not pleased me. really feel burned out on this one.

then there are stupid people.

I was at Safeway yesterday and two people had carts side by side and were talking oblivious to everyone else on a busy day. It was easier to walk back down the aisle, go over one aisle, and come back the original aisle to get what I wanted.

I was in Cooks' Junction, a local store. There are customers, myself included, surrounding the center sales booth. All three sales people are talking to one another, ignoring the customers. If I could have gone somewhere else to get what I wanted, I would have.

I took my wife to Urgent Care tonight because she has had for 24 hours a pain like a gall bladder attack. After farting around with stupid questions and odd tests, we just left. medicine is an art not a science. We'll go back Monday when the artists are there if it is still going on.

Went to see Tangled today. It was terrific. Also, lately, have seen Burlesque (very good), Red (really really good), Social network (really good - not entirely accurate), and Waiting For Superman (documentary)-- really good, but certainly not a feel good movie about the US education system.

Nope. You don't look like your pushing 71 at all! You look extremely happy and vital too. And you really are only as young as you feel. :yes: At least that's what I keep telling myself.

That is an extreme complement when women tell you that they feel you are "SAFE". Go ahead and be on Cloud 9 for as long as you like! Some men would consider it a remark that tells them they are not in the running as a romantic candidate. Not so! I can tell you that from experience.

I am still considering coming out to the West Coast some time. I need to handle some training issues. I would like to eventually get together with Mary and Franky Freeman. That would bring me 'westward ho'. :p

Right now I am in Sunny Florida. Actually its kinda rainy out at the moment. I flew down Friday. View compliments of Continental Airlines vvvv

I just love this picture of TMT too. I put a rinse on two days ago and my hair went as dark as Lorinda's. She looks better in it though. My hairdresser forgot to put the neutralilzer in after my perm and now any added color grabs. Girl talk.

Thanks for your incisive comments

Thanks, these people in my circle ARE really amazing! In C of S, I was just one of the guys, no one special, in ex C of S, by hooking up with Carmelo on this thread, I made some breakthroughs. In the intuitive group, I am a top opinion leader and am sought out by many as a friend. I think it is mainly due to Edey. She is one of those extroverted types with a lot of charisma who knows everybody and introduces people to one another. She has some of what Yvonne Jentzsch had. She and I have amazing chemistry together in every area except romance. Now that she has a steady boyfriend, I was trying to pull away from her but she won't let me go. She really needs me in her life and is DEMANDING that we remain close. She says we committed to being soul mates the rest of our lives and then beyond that. I can't just walk away from such a dedicated friendship!

That comment about being "safe" not meaning no 2D possibiliies is encouraging. Right now, I am very close friends with 5 women - my ex wife, Edey, Lorinda, Candy and Joan. Only with one of them, or perhaps one and a half, is there any focus on a second dynamic. At my age, I find that a true and deep friendship is about 80% of the joy of having a friend of the opposite sex. I estimate being lovers as adding 20% more to the relationship. In one's twenties and 30's, the percentages are much different with romance probably being over 50%, maybe as high as 60%. I raised my family already and with that out of the way, the percentages really alter. Also, there is the reality of having a lesser libido.

Interesting about your hair, Hats. I had Ginger over at Ginger's Gardens cut my hair again and she added a little bit of salt and pepper in the front. I will put up some of the Thanksgiving pictures now which show this.

Well, Hats, if you ever do come out here for a visit, you will have at least 3 instant female friends, Edey, Lorinda, and Candy (probably) plus two male friends in me and Johnny plus five or six male suitors hovering around from the Light Bearers of the World club, which put on the Thanksgiving Party. Up in L.A., you would have Franky and Mary plus Johnny and probably Candy and down in Orange County, you would hve the rest of us.

To Emma,

I'm sorry for my participation in the clusterfuck starting here on ESMB with the outing of some woman poster.

It went to a natter session on Terrils' yahoo group freezoneorg.


You obviously didn't like my suggestion of taking the fight and turning it into a respectful discussion here on the Apollo thread.

For my part, I truly apologize. You have done to help people around the world in the few years of ESMB than I have done in 60 years.

I am not aware of what happened here with Carmelo. It would be nice to know more about what happened. Is the there a link available to read more about it?

Here are some pics from the Thanksgiving Party

The Thanksgiving Party had about 23 guests and besides a sumptious dinner, we had many activities including playing the card game "Golf", working a jigsaw puzzle, playing computer "Family Feud", playing a form of charades where one must draw what is trying to be guessed, Kariokee singing. There were some very cool people of both sexes, most of whom were single. Here are some photos:
