Merle, As to the remarks concerning me...
I am both visiting my wife's son and his family and my investments. I have staked he and his wife to a rubber plantation, an adjacent plot of farm land and a computer (gaming) store. I have given them the money interest-free but do expect (hope, want them to commit to) it to be paid back some day. So...that was your purpose of asking me to view that video! You wanted me to comment on it vis-a-vis are recent discussion regarding my disappointment in the Dalai Lama (NOT my 'hatred' for him or the Tibetan people - I NEVER SAID THAT). In that case I will go back and view the entire video, all 10 minutes, and then return comments to you on how I think it relates to the Dalai Lama. Also, I have read 2 chapters in THE ISLAND. The first chapter was a yawner but the second chapter showed just a hint of something interesting - but not much yet. ...Bill! --- In [email protected], Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@...> wrote: > > Â joe it is good to hear you enjoyed sleep with the new pillows...they look > fine! > happiness is a good night's sleep! > > Â i must think twice. > bill!..he wrote he was going on a holiday to see relatives then he says he > was doing investments..did he lie? > and him and his NOW...or is it meow! and virtual " hatred of tibetans and > their spiritual leader ..D.M. and their Quest for freedom from chinese > oppressors > Â where is he at? > Â then the there is edgar...reality reality reality is his mantra > Â you the cheeky one:..practise practise practise > Â KG with his finger on the pulse...that this morning i read the pulse is > missing..where is his finger? we will not go there! > > hanging in...perhaps > > Â hanging upside down sideways maybe > probably hanging around > Â sniffing sorting and occasionally vomiting > Â how about you? > Â merle > > > Â > Merle, > > Dunno; I think that, sometimes, even if a person is moved by a conversation, > or post, sometimes... it may sometimes not be obvious at first, or there may > even be a semblance of evidence to the contrary.
