Emily, many thanks for letting folks know about my Internet difficulties. I had thought my cable modem had perished, but as it turns out, the difficulties seem to have been Comcast's (I'm guessing they were repairing some flood damage from Sandy, and that disrupted service in my area). At any rate, everything is back up this morning.
I have to also thank you for the *form* of your announcement. It gave me a big chuckle in and of itself. But this post of Share's reacting to that announcement (below) is many times worth the frustration of my Comcastless evening. The paragraph beginning "dear FFL" is especially entertaining. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Share Long <sharelong60@...> wrote: > > Emily are you saying that I prayed dear God, please break Judy's Comcast?! > Let's fantasize for a moment that I knew she has Comcast and I did. Then my > bad. But God's bad too. Right? And or reality's bad. And Comcast's > bad too. And maybe even Barry's bad because in the Now he expressed > gratitude about it. How about Judy's bad? Any of that in the equation? > > And by the same logic did my alleged prayers cause Hurricane Sandy?! Wow, > I didn't know my prayers were so powerful. And according to your buddies > aren't I supposedly out of touch with reality? Then how could reality > possibly answer any prayers of mine?! > > Going deeper, if reality or God did answer my prayers, does that mean > something positive about me or does that mean something negative about me? > Your post implies the latter. But supposedly it means that my personal > ontology is well aligned with reality. In this Context it can't really have > both a positive and a negative meaning about me. Right? But perhaps in > this regard I've not properly understood the Context. > > dear FFL, this is exactly the kind of twisting of ideas that makes me > question the so called honesty of those who are so negative towards me. > It's not that they're negative. It's that out of their bias, they twist and > distort even simple logic and even their own ideas. > > > And yes, I sent up 2 or 3 one liners to God that Judy would post out. Why > wouldn't I?! Now return to the sentence Then my bad in the first paragraph > above and simply continue reading. > > PS to Emptybill: I tried to apply the so what sutra to this. I failed. My > bad again.   > > > > ________________________________ > From: Emily Reyn <emilymae.reyn@...> > To: "FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com" <FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com> > Sent: Saturday, December 1, 2012 1:33 AM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] from Judy > > >  > Judy sent me a private communique - to thank me for supporting her in full > wts style (she has, of course, badly misinterpreted me as I am fully engaged > in refuting this phenomenon and I will be the first to call her on this > egregious misinterpretation on her part) - and to ask me to let ya'll know > that her Comcast is on the fritz and she will be quiet until it is restored. >  Share, reality has answered your prayers.  Judy, the non-existent wts > crowd wishes your internet a speedy recovery.  >
