How's it going with your iPod, Oney?

I'm amazed to hear the Scientologists were wiling to stop taking money from Mark, they are notorious for NEVER letting go of people. Did he end up going into hospital?

I had a long run this afternoon (on the treadmill, 2 entire miles! ha! I am very very slow) and then a lovely nap on the couch.

Pretty good here in TX. Cold one day, warm the next. How did things go with the estate sale? Sorry to bring that up but know it is something you had to deal with. That stuff is never fun.

I did some reading up on the Scientologists and published some stuff on my blog. They are truly horrible people (the ones who are in charge) and they have destroyed many lives. Good for the Irish for giving them enough hell to make them back down a bit... We are still coddling them in the USA, they have the status of a CHURCH which they feckin' well are NOT.

Yeah it takes a new iPod an hour or two to charge; I really don't think you have to charge it fully before you play with it, though...

Yep I do enjoy quiet time to myself... I seldom have an afternoon nap but today was perfect for it, gray and cold outside, nothing I really had to do; nobody to wake me up, the worst that usually happens is one of the dogs thinks she hears something outside, and barks a bit... or a cat drapes herself across me, which is nice and warm...

There's some good stuff about them on YouTube. There have been a number of suicides of the people they take in and begin to trade, and many families broken up over them... For someone like Mark with paranoid schiz, they are pure poison, playing right into his pathology...

I have heard nothing but bad things about Scientology and the only person I have dealt with that believes in it is John Travolta, back in the late 90's. Although I worked well with him and his agent, I would say stay clear of that cult. I do not believe it to be a religion. It's a belief for those graspping for something...IMHO.

Yeah, LTG, the guy who founded it was a hack science fiction writer, decided it would be smart and profitable to create a "religion" -- and he did. And it was profitable, too! Amazing. It shows how tolerant we all are about bizarre "beliefs" that are labelled "religious" and also how people can be induced to believe things that are utterly insane and ridiculous, with enough social pressure ("brainwashing").

I think some of the celebrities who get involved are shielded from some of the worst of the craziness in Scientology, and are just used for their money and their names... but it seems that Tom Cruise is fully bought into all the "thetans" stuff etc. ... I don't know about Travolta, there is less written about his involvement....

When I met and dealt with Travolta, no problems. The problems that I come across are with family and my oldest son being gay. Like that matters to me. He is my son and I love him no matter what - unless like he should murder someone. We all believe in our own things and life takes us where it may, right?
