While the irony of that, and the ability to be a Bad Influence in Fairfield appeals to me, 1) I doubt very seriously whether the TMO would give me a "dome badge," and 2) I'd much rather live in a cardboard box under a freeway overpass. :-) > Return ye ransomed non-meditator. I've always been a meditator. Still am. Just not a "TM meditator." While I understand that many see "not a TM meditator" as equivalent to "not a meditator," and that Nabby probably sees "not a TM meditator" as equivalent to "a demon that deserves to be thrown in a hole so that I can cover him with dirt," not everyone sees things that way. :-) > Takes only getting your meditation checked and the world would > statistically be a whole lot better place for you and everyone. I reserve the right to disagree with either of those two statistics. One can do a great deal of good for the world from a cardboard box. :-) > You are being served your return from Exile.

Are we talking regular spankings? :-) > We look with joy on your return to home. We all look to welcome > you back, brother. Jai Guru. No "Dev?" I guess I only deserve a "Dev" if I come "back to the fold." :-) Doug, I fully understand that you are joking. But isn't it fascinating that pretty much the same email could have been written by people we know without an ounce of irony, either intended or perceived? It is my opinion that those who have come to believe that those who do not believe as they do are no longer "home" don't really have much of a "home" that anyone would want to come back TO. Any TMer would be welcome in my cardboard box anytime. If it's Je-Ru I might watch him carefully to make sure he doesn't steal me blind, and if it's Nabby I might watch him to make sure he doesn't try to cover me with dirt, but they'd both be welcome. :-) :-) :-) And, just as an example of "support of nature," and to infuriate those who believe that such support just *should not happen* to Off The Program predatory scum such as myself, in the time between my earlier post and this one, I received word from IBM that my contract has, in fact, been renewed. So it looks as if the cardboard box is NOT in my immediate future, even though I had a perfect freeway overpass picked out for it, one with a view of the sea. Jai Guru Accounting Department
