The Little Thread Which Grew - the Apollo '73 to Everything But

[lkwdblds]

We aim to please!!

In reply to Ted's questions:

"What would (being 5 years younger) have gotten you into?" Run to a flat point.

Street drug usage.
Arriving on ESMB at 64, instead of 69.
Possibly being more computer savy.

"What would (being 5 years younger) have gotten you out of?" Run to a flat point.

Wearing coat and tie to work and having short hair cuts.
Knowing more about certain types of popular music.
Not having as much respect for authority.
Five years of receiving Social Security payments & Medicare (Zowie, that's a big one)!
Five years of not receiving discounts at the movies and fast food places.
Feeling out of step with many of the other staff at CCLA

"What could you prove (by being 5 years younger)?" Run to a flat point then go back to the first question".

Prove that I was more virile.
When I am interested in a younger woman, such as lh, who is 47, it sounds better as 66 to 47 (which is bad enough), rather than 71 to 47.

Most women I meet are around 53 to 60. If I was 66 now, it would be easier for me to introduce myself than it is at 71.

That's about it. Not much there to run. I'm glad I am 71 because I got 5 years of medicare and social security which I would not now have. That's the over riding factor.

Thanks. I should have limited the responses to "When you were 24..." as that was the area of lament--or at least that's how it appeared in your post. Nevertheless, thank you for the responses.

Autumn Rae

Yesterday I had an opportunity to see and hear this little girl sing. She was totally delightful. She sang "Memories" and "My Heart Will Go On" to a crowd of what must have been 750+ people. She is but 5 years old, and smallish at that. But her voice is huge and dynamic. She hit all the right notes high to low.

This note is from whomever posted the Youtube video: "Autumn Rae decided she was mad that she was too young to be on American Idol sooooo She had mommy make her a sign and went to street sing at the Winter Park Art Festival, two days in a row!!! She went with Tinkerbell lunchbox in tow and raked in a lotta dollars. She plans on taking her little cousin out for a fondue dessert!!!She says she is saving the rest. "

Enjoy as did I.

Emily Baer, pianist extrordinaire at the age of six, starting to plunk out scales at the age of two. I think she is 8 now. Kids such as Emily stand as an argument for past lives. Though by no means proof of that, it seems hard to reconcile any other explanation for talent revealing itself at that level at such an early age. Emily has a command of many genres of music already, including Classical and Jazz. She knows inately the delicate nuances of both genres and also composes beautiful pieces in an extremely short time. It is really amazing!

I give you the story of Emily Bear:

The first time Marty blew was a time he coulda really done some serious damage to the Cof$ and DM—the timing was there and he was in the know. What did Marty, The “On ‘Source’” do? He S-O-L-D O-U-T! He flinched and he sold out so that he could become the biggest, bestess “Tech” Stud on the Planet. That’s how he makes his living now and the only reason he’s getting away with it is because of Mayo and all the folks he’s now trashing.

I said it before here and I’ll say it again…Marty sees himself as “The Lieutenant” from “Final Blackout…he’s sees himself as THE Loyalist of the Officer's. There once was a time that Marty could have really done some good. Like the Cof$, the time is now past. The genie is out of the bottle and can never be gotten back in. “IT” is all over. He doesn’t see this because of his blind spots, one of which I already said, is that he has no knowledge, experience and understanding of what once was…what he actively and avidly worked to destroy.

Bully for Marty if he’s getting’ some folks out…most of them wouldn’t be there now to be got out if it wasn’t for Marty and his main squeeze Mike.

I knew them both and I can guarantee you I’d never want either of them in my foxhole.

ready to strike their colors - after the battle of san juan hill in the summer of '98, the American Expeditonary Force under the bulbous general shafter executed basically the same maneuvers we do after we sweep the left flank.

Tedy Rooosevelt had been positioned behind the Buffalo Soldiers on the right flank with four infantry regiments in a line to their left. "Teedy" never did make a charge up san juan hill. we will never know Porkbelly Shafter's battl plan. the last instant of his command of the field came occurred when he ordered the Rough Riders to move up without specifying how far and T.R. led them up Kettle Hill.

The A.E.F. had embarked from a gulf port, Mobile if memory serves, and had landed on the south coast of cuba near the port of daiquiri - stop me if you've heard this one. a phyiscian walks into a bar and orders a banana daiquiri. the bartender mixes the concoction then discovers he is out of nutmeg. thinking on hs feet the best he can come up with was to chop up some hickory nuts, put the pieces into a peppermill and grind them on top. the doctor took a sip and said "what's this?" the bartender said "it's a hickory daiquiri doc." - and moved inland skirmishing with spanish troops until they reached the defensive line at san juan hill. the spaniards were armed with the same mausers which the prussians had used against Napolean III at sedan. a frontal assault would have been bloody but once TR led The First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry up kettle our position on the flank made the spaniard position untenable and they fell back to their capital Santiago on the north coast. the AEF enircled santiago and laid seige. it took a few weeks but with no spanish armada on the horizon their commander sent word that Spnih Honor required he surrender under fire. shafter obliged with few harmless rounds and the war was over.

so by thanksgiving Captan Miscavage should be ready to do things like release half the gold reserves stashed in the bunkers to those harmed by disconnecion etc.

I just finished reading Part 13 and it is spellbinding. "Never desert a comrade in need, in danger or in trouble." To push this as part of one's platform and then not adhere to it himself, that is about as low as one can go. The fleshing out of all the forces in the battle, who they were, where they were coming from and what their allegiances were makes for a very exciting and informative Part 13.

Failed Help = Kill / Destroy

Amanda Ambrose had a kid, who was a criminal. She did not know what to do.

I have a "kid, " who is a criminal, only my kid is not a person, but a group.

The Los Gatos Org started in my living room in Willow Glen (it is like Highland Park is to Dallas), a sub set of San Jose in about 1973.

Now Black Pete and his side kicks are operating out of there, making Scientology Lost Gatos (sic) the butt of jokes all over the internet.

You have a time track. You started a Scientology delivery unit that became an org. Fantastic!

The org is a squirrel group now. Damn!

You can't expect control over your creation when other beings start using it. Think how James Madison, "The Father of the Constitution," feels.

What you can do is be who you are and continue to create. It doesn't have to be in the name of Scientology. Just do what you do, create what you will create, then pass it on.

Let go of the time track. Quit claiming you started an org in your living room. It could be viewed as being an overt act.

MLB takes over operation of Los Angeles Dodgers

NEW YORK (AP)—Major League Baseball is taking over the Los Angeles Dodgers, a team financially paralyzed by the divorce of its owners.

Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig says in a release Wednesday that he will appoint a representative to oversee the “business and the day-to-day operations of the Club.”

Selig says he took action “because of my deep concerns regarding the finances and operations of the Dodgers.”

His decision followed a report by the Los Angeles Times that owner Frank McCourt had arranged a $30 million loan from Fox, the team’s television partner.

Selig says he will announce the new team head in the next several days.
