I know this prayer by heart, found it really helpful when I get depressed.

Kanye West was on Jimmy Kimmel last night. He was ranting about (paraphrased) how wealthier people should give the younger talented folks chances and his example was how he wouldn't be where he is today if it wasn't for that "Rockefeller chain."

Yeah, we know Kanye. We know.

My friend who died this year used to make dresses for the elite ladies
who would winter in their million dollar beach homes in Barbados,
and when the new mall opened there,
with Luis Vuitton and Ralph Lauren shops they abandoned him.
He died broke, of both heart and wallet...my warnings had gone unheeded.
The seventies and eighties super-rich were kinder, somehow, but as they were replaced
by the current lot something changed, dramatically.

Here is some more comic relief.

(You may spot my trend to alternate between getting down on my knees in prayer
and posting dark humor.)

I want to share this one and this thread seems the best place to do so

As I travel a lot by plane, flying from Europe to Seattle to see my daughter and her family, I often wondered why people can't use their cellphones or other devices while taking off or landing.
However, it never came up to ask this question, although I've always been the first one to put up my finger from the time I was a child.

What is happening to me when I enter an airport?

That was priceless. I could just feel years and years of stored up frustration leaving me while I was watching that.

Now, what can you offer us about US immigration and the questions that come up while standing in line there?

I saw it too. Curious now.
But at the time I saw it more as the writings of a Sci Fi writer.
Unless LRH suddenly discovered synchronicities appeared in his life
which related to what he had just written.

There is a movie about that, I think. Anyway, Im careful these days what I focus on,
Because it often becomes real, and fairly quickly.
Also the saying 'be careful what you wish for....'

So that's why here in this thread we dream about the world we want to see, not those that freak us out.
And of course, report our here and now moments, which can't be too bad,
if we can be sitting at our respective computers, chatting with friends and exchanging loving vibes.

For me, it's more like "why is it such an issue for some people that they can't use their cellphones or other devices while taking off or landing".

I'd really rather have that thing take off and land properly.
And, i guess, even a fully acceptable scientific easy-to-understand concise explanation of "why" wouldn't cut it for certain people...

For me, it's more like "why is it such a big deal for people that they can't use their cellphones or other devices while taking off or landing".

That's because you live in Germany where people are used to not question their orderlies.

So you're excusing the removal of a thread of a "religions" high level "hidden knowledge" within seconds of it being posted....ohhhh-kay, nothing to see here, move along...

When I mentioned the dreaded oh-tee-three in a thread, I had it yanked too, told it was off-topic, as if I've ever been on.

I saw your popcorn smilie. I had just settled into my chair,
looking forward to the thread with great interest.
And there you were, posting what I was thinking about.

[doodah]

I saw it too, Donk, and was trying to post a reply when your thread disappeared.

I will send what I was trying to post in a PM to you, just FYI. My post would have stirred up another hornet's nest, but I think it might be safe before your eyes.

All best wishes,
Doodah

... you forgot "keep on shopping" ...


That *was* remarkably fast.

Why is it so many humans want to hide the truth at so many levels???

Did I miss the memo???

I thought we were here to share our take of "the truth"???

Yea, that's part of the "German cultural program", so true...
but not really applying in this case.

PS: That's "Murkle" in my current avatar, btw.

Donk, look at the bigger picture here. Or an analogy...
I have quite a lot of experience with astrology, over thirty years now,
and if I came on this forum starting several threads a week on astrology...
which is a subject that 98 % of the members know little or nothing about,
then I would soon start causing controversy, especially if I have only five people backing me up.

So the forum owner would send out some warnings and ask me to tone it down.
Even though he may believe in some of what Im saying....he basically doesn't want a forum war on his hands.

So then it would look weird if someone insisted to talk some more about the hot astrology topic, no?
So I suggest, let the flames die down, give it a little time.
Bring it up in a few weeks from now, when it can be discussed in an impartial manner.

What's the deal???

Even the evil empire swooping in on claiming "classified information threatening national security" doesn't act that fast.

... wow ...
