It occurred to me, a moment ago, that others, besides myself and a small group of friends, might be interested in this web site

http://www.bid4assets.com/

It should be self explanatory.

My wife and I have inspected some properties that were going to be or were up for auction. We haven't won an auction yet. We keep looking.

I have a friend in SoCal who wants to buy a cheap out of California property, rehab it and perhaps flip or rent it out. Perhaps there is someone in Ohio or Georgia or ??? who could go and scope out some listed properties (remember location location location) and partner on a venture.

I, myself am not looking for a partner, but I do know someone who would welcome one.

Wow - what a tour de force post!

Trying to handle some PTS sit telepathically with my mom it seems the German influence in Ohio goes back to the 1730s. Of course going back that far in European history maybe some of these groups did not consider themselves truly 'German' but some other individualized identity from the locale.

I came across mental imagery of what could be considered the Ohio Territory back in the mid 1740s. I got this 'feeling' of the Black Forest in Germany and mercenaries and our father being non persona grata and cold weather and building of forts for a people we weren't really in league with. These were mom's images.

Wow, the Ohio territory in 1740, I don't really have any roots down there. My Mom's grandpartents started showing up in the Cincinnati area around 1850-1860, they were primarily Jewish people from Poland but most of them had blond hair and blue eyes so they were pretty inbred with other European groups. You could still tell they were Jewish by their noses. Fortunately for me, I did not get a Jewish nose but my Mom sure had one.

I looked up some info afterwards. It seems that there were skirmishes in the German frointier. Many groups of outlaw activists running amuck. They became political targets after a while and labeled as enemies. American coincidentally needed frontiersmen for its outback during it's conflicts with the British in the days leading up to the French and Indian Wars. Development companies were recruiting in a pseudo military manner so to speak. I had thought it strange to come across a 'type' of germanic colony back then in the southern part of Ohio.


I only know of my German track starting in 1764. Before that life, I know I was centered there for hundreds of years but never ran any specific life. Of course Germany was not a Nation at that time but a loose connection of states that shared a language and were linked via tariff and trade agreements. Some of the German states were Hesse, Prussia Schleswig Holstein, Westphalia, Rhineland Palatinate, Mecklenberg, Bavaria Brandenberg. Saxony, and Pomerania. Of course Hesse was well known for professional soldiers and certainly the most prevalent of the German groups to arrive in North America in the 1700's were the Hessians.

The Germans who settled in and around Cincinnati seemed to be more the wine drinking and happy type of Germans, probably of Bavarian stock. The Southern Germans, mainly Catholics, were much more fun loving and laid back than their Protestant Northern counterparts. The latter often seemed to act as if a rod was shoved up their asses. They can be pretty stiff and serious.

One exception was the people of the large city of Hamburg, Germany's second largest City. I was told to avoid Hamburg when I toured Germany in 1967. Fortunately, I ignored that advice and spent a whole week there. It is a beautiful port city, there was so much to see there plus the people were very outgoing and friendly. I think being the largest port in Europe, the city is quite international in nature and that makes them more diversified and friendly.

Well Hats, thanks for such in depth comments on Germany and Ohio, two of my favorite places on Earth. The long quoted article on Ohio history was particularly interesting to me. As Bob Hope would say, "Thanks for the Memories!"

Send your friend these links. Properties are going going going...We've lost 450,000 of the population in recent years because the job opportunites are not that interesting here. And the weather sucks 35 percent of the time.:confused2:

I think that I will go look up "Harmonic resonance" (or maybe Not).
Or maybe a seance (or hypnosis) will satisfy my cravings.

Actually, I have some ideas still resonating in my brain from my past experience in Scientology that I still want to justify.
All I need to find is some singular author to justify those beliefs... then I will feel much better.
I really don't need any "peer reviews" from anyone else (or maybe one other person).

Then I will be a happy camper. :D

That was very eye opening. I had no idea. We have had a contractor friend looking over potential purchases in Dayton. I checked out some rather nice stuff near Sacramento. There was something near Tucson that we liked.

We were out bid on all of them

My cousin is a flipper. He always bids high so he has a chance. But he only does this when he knows he can make a silk purse out of the sow's ear. He is a jack of all trades. He has done well for himself here. We are in a phase of govt here where it is is more feasible to help a family get their own home than to provide subsidized rental towers that get run down fast. That's good except houses have to be kept up. The more ferocious the weather conditions the more things need repaired. So gas for heating is subsidized etc. But when the furnaces or the plumbing or the roof is shot it takes resources to fix them. Many homes are going back to the bank on this count alone in these parts. Some of these people would rather be renters but the 'kids' benefit from having their own home definitely.:thumbsup: I have never seen so many happy children as I have over the past decade. Society revolves around them on our homefront. :p .

Big coincidence causes big spike on my Social Calendar

A super coincidence occurred. My good friend and soul mate Edey has her birthday on Sunday, Oct 17th. A large group of friends and acquaintances are gathering at a health food type restaurant to celebrate this event. I already put this on my calendar about 3 weeks ago.

On Monday, of this week, I received a phone call from Joan nee Joan Loosli, nee Joan Todhunter telling me that her birthday is Saturday, Oct 16 and she is having a dinner at her house to celebrate the event and that I am invited. Joan's Son, Remi, is a chef at some major restaurant in the Valley area of L.A. and he is going to do all the cooking for the party.

What is it with Libra women? My two closest women friends and their birthdays are one day apart and they are both having large parties. Well, it gets even more interesting. I asked Edey if she had invited Johnny THe Magic Thetan to her party and she said she hadn't because Johnny was going to be out of town in Seattle this week.

Joan also invited Edey who she met at our dinner and music outing in Fullerton a couple weeks ago. Edey RSVP'ed to Joan today and found out that Johnny is in town and he is going to Joan's party. Edey cannot make Joan's party because she only had about 4 days advanced notice and already had plans for that day. Edey then called me and asked me if she should invite Johnny to her party now that she knows he is in town and I said, of course, that she should. She told me she would invite him tonight.

THE PLOT THICKENS
I get home and turn on my computer and check this thread and Hats has posted videos of Johnny speaking at the Freezone Convention. I watch one video and decide to forward it via email to Edey. I then come back and watch another Johnny video and while I am watching, my phone rings and IT IS JOHHNNY! He just called to say hi! I asked him if Edey invited him to her party and he said that she had not so I took it upon myself to invite him. You know, she told me she would do it tonight so when he called me, I just saved her a call and invited Johnny. He said that he thinks he will come! He has to check his calendar first when he gets home but he thought he was free and if he was free, he said that he will come. How about that!

PURPLE HAZE CALLS ME the night I heard the Channeling demonstration. Purple Haze has come out on Facebook using her own name, Candy Swanson. Of course that is the first CC Celebrity Auditor whom I called Tonto in my Origins of Celebrity Centre story posted on this thread and on its own independent thread on ESMB. Candy has posted some incredible photographs of herself and her friends from the mid and late 1970's. I met her just briefly in 1971 and was on staff with her at CCLA in 1971-72. Some of her pictures show that she was a very "hot" and sexy woman back in the 70's. So on the phone, I tell Candy that I have read her Facebook site and left some comments. She asks me if I have seen the pictures she has posted. I say, yes I have seen them and wow you looked just as I remember you in 1971. YOU WERE HOT!!

There was a delay, and then Candy repeats, I WAS hot? I realized that I had fired a foot bullet and tried to recover my aplomb (a Mark Baker word meaning composure). First I said, "Well Candy, you are still a very attractive woman for your age but you were in your mid twenties in those days." There was a comm lag, seconds of dead air and I knew I was still in trouble. I continued, "Candy, it just isn't the same. I mean I am still handsome for a 70 year old man but back in 1971 I was much much hotter than I am now. That's just the way it is. That seemed to do it and she said cheerfully, I was really hot wasn't I?. I said, "Yes, you were really awesome looking, one of the two or three best looking women at the old CCLA." She then said, well I am a lot more worldly and wiser now than I was then, that's for sure. I asked, are you telling me that if you had the wisdom then which you have now, you would have lived your life differently and she said things would have been a lot different. She said that things would have been totally different especially vis a vis her relationships with various men.

TIME PASSAGE USUALLY EQUATES TO GAINS IN WISDOM Looking at my own life, this was certainly the case and when Candy told me it was true in her life as well, that gave me pause to think. In her life, back in the early 1970's Scientology scene, whe was a big VIP, a Kha Khan, in pretty tight with LRH and was auditing movie stars such as Karen Black and Directors such as Milton Katselas and Ernest Lehman. She was already a celebrity in her own right and when she told me she was far far wiser now, I learned something.

I've met a few who were wiser in their youth and went off the rails as they matured but for most of us, our life experiences teach us a lot and we gain greatly in widsom. Move ahead 40 years and the person is much wiser.

To me an exception might be a man such as Orson Wells. He was just brilliant as a young man, a movie director, a movie star, a radio personality, he embodied great achievment and wisdom at a young age. When he was older, he was just known for acting in non descript wine commercials. He did nothing major of a creative nature in the second half of his life. What is with that?

Roger, any comments which you make on this topic above would be appreceiated.

Is Candy related to Greg Swanson or Ralph Swanson who moved out to the West Coast from Florida in the 70's. They were staff trained in Orlando. April Swanson was my friend. She worked for Mary Jane Estey who got her employees financed so they could train at AOLA in the early 80s.

Very nice to see Johnny again! Thanks, Hatty! :)

You are sooooooo welcoome!!!!:happydance::happydance:

Yesterday I was reading an old Free Spirit magazine and in it I found an article written by Johnny. Its title was "Never Face Reality". I gotta tell you every cell in my body tingled and resonated to the truth of what he was saying. This afternoon I tried to scan the pages through to my pc so I could place the article on this board. I will have to cut out the pages with a razor to do it. Otherwise too much light gets in and it looks terrible. I surfed the net for it and the entire Wonderworld site but could not find it.

I know why Johnny Raff is 'The Magic Thetan" :yes:

There is another article written by John that I can't find. It's called Operating On 100% Trust. If you can find that its well worth reading. The L Rundowns were used to restore the being to his natural self and powers. Johnny is like an L 13. :thumbsup:
 
I really like how he Interprets one of my favorite acts of all times from the play Man of La Mancha originally with Peter O'toole. I liked it best with Brian Stokes Jones.
