Re: [FairfieldLife] Your nightly Turq post

I looked upon this as the "FFL shifts" where the "European shift" gets to jump the gun on the "American shift." We don't seem to have an "Asian Shift" nor "Aussie shift" for that matter. Then there is often a noticeable gap in posting starting around 10 AM PT too. Sometimes that allows the "

One of my favorite mantras is "question authority". ;-) Regarding MMY, right before I went to TTC, a TM teacher told me, "you are about to have one of the most wonderful experiences in your life and one of the worst." He suggested to "play the game" which I did and didn't get bumped off to th

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: A Quiet Day

I highly doubt that the commercial interests are going to take this lying down. They'll probably sue and try to take it to the Supreme Court. But for the moment it stops my sport of being rude to or playing with the minds of the telemarketers who call. Just because I have a phone doesn't mea

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Fw: Alex, can you post a question to the forum for me?

One of the forums I'm on has very strict rules about what to avoid discussing. My bet is that the original founders had a BBS back in the 1980s and watched as flame wars developed. So they barred religious and political discussion. And being a forum where there are specific topics moderators

I've said many times that due to the use of the Saraswati mantra TMers often seem to have overstimulated intellects. Real gurus give students mantras that are balancing. On 06/20/2015 06:50 PM, s3raph...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife] wrote: Re my post: " . . . "one of the mantras used is that of

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Fw: Alex, can you post a question to the forum for me?

Unless Alex was wrong, Doug didn't do anything. It was Rick that gave Turq a "time out". This seems very Shakespearean or "much ado about nothing." I still go with the idea Rick gave in to Doug so he could learn that being a moderator was not "his cuppa tea." ;-) On 06/20/2015 09:43 AM, jr

[FairfieldLife] A Quiet Day

It's nice to not have my day interrupted by annoying telemarketers and robocalls. In case you missed it the FCC just approved blocking of robocalls and telemarketers with spooded caller id's. I signed up for a blocker yesterday and what happens is you hear the phone ring once and if the numbe
