Judy Collins - Very aesthetic flows!

Seemed appropriate to revisit, remember and share :yes: EP
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DejUPN4SksU

Judy Collins comes across as very soulful and with a really trained voice. I looked her up and sure enough, she started training in classical music as a pianist and eventually shifted to folk music. She sings well enough to perform in operas, musical comedies and the like but folk music seems to be where she really belongs.

John Denver's song "Follow Me" has a similar effect on me to Judy Collin's above song. Check it out!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6GAa8_5nRA

BTW, Judy was born in my birth year of 1939 but 7 months before me in May. John Denver was born 4 years after me in Dec., 1943. Both are just prior to the Baby Boomer generation which started in 1946.

Ah, 1939, what a year! "Gone with the Wind" was released as was "The Wizard of Oz" and Disney's "Fantasia". Public television previewed in New York City and the city had about 10,000 TV sets in use that year. The cars really looked spiffy. Aerodynamics was starting to be the rage and the fenders of the cars started to be pontoon like affairs which ran towards the back of the car. The best looking car of the year in my opinion was the Cord Beverly coupe, I believe it first appeared in 1937.

Check out those concealed headlamps. The gas tank was also concealed under a rear tail light.

It's all good Lakey!

Wow! What a cool car! Streamline moderne design lines...

Lakey, it's not that I don't like your new 'do, I just like you the way you are! :)

I do happen to think all white hair is beautiful!!! :happydance: I hope I live long enough to go all white! It is a mark of distinction of wisdom gained through long years of living and elicits great respect in Celtic culture (and others!).

I understand that you want to look younger, and I support you in doing whatever you want, style wise, so long as it makes you happy, and doesn't stop traffic! :thumbsup:

Help requested!

Hey guys...BlueWigGirl has got another video project going and she is asking for our help:

"Critic (and Anon?) Deaths
Hey ESMB! Long time no see!

It's AnonStillAlive.com reboot time again, and as part of the annual video I would like to pay tribute to some of the critics and anons who didn't make it to the final victory. I don't want to leave out anyone who contributed to the effort, so I figured I'd ask in OG territory for any names I may have missed. The current list is:

Shawn Lonsdale
Bob Minton
Ida Camburn
Sean Carasov (aka Rorschach)

I'm willing to consider just about any critics for this list, but I would prefer to focus on people who spoke out actively, and especially ones who passed in the Anon-era. While I know there are many folks here who mourn the loss of friends and family who never made it out of Scientology, this is not going to be an appropriate tribute for those persons.

Thanks so much for your help!"

You can find the thread here to see who has already been additionally proposed for inclusion. I know you guys will think of some others. :)

Well Ed you are not the only one who could be described as stupid. This whole thing has been very heated and explosive. Ken U made an error bringing matters to my forum. I made an error in adding data to that.

I should have remembered/ realized that OSA may have been monitoring
our forum. They have communicated that they have it and it seems it will,
feature on the FZ survivors website.

Yes, I made an error outing TO and you and Ken U made an error on dishing me in your forum, in the name of 'good intentions' which only shows what gossipers you both are and how far from being "Oateee".

As for name appearing in FZ Survivors I could care less.

Being listed on Freezone Survivors? I'd suppose that I would take more pride in that. Look at what outstanding figures are there! Mayo, a man who helped LRH tremendously through auditing him! Max Hauri! a great pioneer in Russia, who is an amazing being; Pierre - in spite of his doubtful character - one of the few active Class XII outside the Co$.

Is it wisdom or just weak genes?

Wow! What a cool car! Streamline moderne design lines...

Lakey, it's not that I don't like your new 'do, I just like you the way you are! :)

Aw Shucks, Sweetness, how kind you are!

I do happen to think all white hair is beautiful!!! :happydance: I hope I live long enough to go all white! It is a mark of distinction of wisdom gained through long years of living and elicits great respect in Celtic culture (and others!).

My family on my Mother's side has very thick hair but it starts turning grey around age 35, is a beautiful salt and pepper mix around 45 and by one's late 50's it is nearly completely white. I WISH IT WERE WISDOM, BUT FAMILY GENETICS SEEMS TO BE MORE CAUSE OVER IT. I am seeing that I was not all that wise when my hair went white. For one thing, I still fully endorsed the C of S in the middle to late 90's. Another things was that my marriage was going on the rocks and Idid nothing effective about it though I now see that I could have saved it. Evy is a fine woman in many ways but the way things are working out, I am doing more spiriitual growing now being single than I did when I was married.

The one thing I got from the marriage that I would never give up was the experience of being a Dad to two gifted children. What shear delight and what a privilege to Father two kids and be their parent. Those who are Mother or Father to large families really inspire awe in me. I had my hands full with just the two but what a joy they were (are). What bonds were formed. I would not trade that for anything.

I understand that you want to look younger, and I support you in doing whatever you want, style wise, so long as it makes you happy, and doesn't stop traffic! :thumbsup:

By the way...lighten up everybody we are all here to enjoy life:happydance:

Thanks, Diana!

I find this very relaxing in part because I don't understand the language. I was too young to appreciate my two years of high school Spanish. Not being caught up in the significance of the song, I get caught up in the feeling. It takes me right back to a Mexican cantina, beer, and simple, great food.

You're welcome Ted! :) I am glad that you liked it! But it is not considered a cantina song...

Who cares what Salma is saying really no? :coolwink:

It is of course a love song...a very passionate one...very popular in Latin America and it is actually considered a serenade song :flirt: It is about a person who has lost his love and his life is now dark and without... has no longer the will to live.

It is called Es la Historia de un Amor.

Giving Thanks

Had a wonderful Thanksgiving…hope all y’all had the same. Got together with friends and family and we made an exquisite traditional meal…roast turkey, cornbread/French bread herb stuffing with giblet gravy, sweet spiced yam casserole topped with marshmallows, seasoned green beans with onion and bacon, tossed baby romaine salad with tomato and avocado, copper penny marinated carrots, fluffy yeast rolls, olive and relish tray, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, pumpkin crème brulee and all accompanied with champagne, pinot grigio and port. Loving family, great friends and good food…so much to be thankful for.

Re: the OSA “divide and conquer” comments on this thread and some of the FZ/ESMB “snafu” threads, here are my comments from awhile back re: “divide and conquer” on Mike Laws excellent thread…for those that have an interest.

Re: Apollo thread “stats”…I have no data to support this but I think that there are a large number of lurkers and Newbie/recent ESMBers that are reading through various “epochs” of the movable feast here. This thread is now over 9,000posts long and, most importantly, thousands of those posts contain a wealth of very valuable information re: El Ron and all manner of things Scn that is thoughtful, accurate and well written. There is solid and very helpful information on the pages of the Apollo thread that is not to be found anywhere else in an organic, fractal and natural presentation format.

Reading a well conducted dialogue or inquiry driven “case history” is one of the most effective ways to learn and acquire knowledge and the simple act of reading such actually engages the individual into participation in the process and the moment—whether or not they post. It allows someone to “make up their own mind” about things instead of having others trying to forcefully make up their mind for them. For folks that are still “in” but questioning, “out” but teetering, “ex” but not sure how far ex they want to go or actually are, and for never “ins” in the first place the Apollo thread—around, amongst and within all its horsing around, entertaining sidebars, fascinating trivia and amazing cornucopia of "blasts from the past"—is a unique resource and all that have contributed to it should be pleased with and proud of their participation.

Thank you, Lakey for planting and thank you Carmelo and Sweetness for helping to water and tend a garden that will, come what may, keep on giving and giving.

Face:)

LOL Mark!!! I have often felt that I was born into the "wrong" place and time, culture wise. :D

Good luck on your next lifetime!!! :thumbsup:

Sweetness...we all feel that way from time to time. But I found for myself it is not so. I just came back from my hometown in Mexico where I was a guest speaker for the Celebration of the 200th Anniversary of the Independence; and I felt so much that I was in the right place with the right people...I haven't been this happy in my life!:happydance:

Because I looked at everything with a new, fresh point of view not with the selfish teenager point of view and I found out what wonderful people my parents actually were...and I was glad that I had come back home to the right family to the right place...:rose:

For I am Mexican by birth, American by choice, I realized...that wherever we are born...we can immigrate...body and soul :)

One of my favorite cartoon panels of all time was in Playboy in the mid 60s. It was a knight writing in sand with his bloody sword (from the dead body near by) "The sword is mightier than..."

My attitude is "Sword or pen, my scoped rifle has more reach than either".

I have no discernment as to what venue the song might belong. Heck, I even enjoy Mexican AM radio not understanding but a few words now and then. It's just that Earth is like an implant station. A being can get beat down without knowing why or how. So plugging into another culture in another place is something I find very relaxing.

Now, I'll have my Dos XX's, please. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Yes, that is very true...

I actually learned most of my English listening to The Beatles songs...I had no idea what they were saying but sounded beautiful...later...I learned...that well...they were only saying "I am the walrus" I still had no idea what they were saying...LOL!
