Mike,
I’m just getting back to my e-mails and your blog after a long weekend, and I’ve just read your response to my apology.

Thank you, for being who you are, and for having the uncommon ability to express yourself with both simple honesty and and exquisite tact. I

I appreciate this very much, and feel much better!

Sincerely,
Aquamarine.

They’re coming for the coffee because they’ve already taken away the homes, college funds, IRA’s, retirement accounts, savings accounts, “emergency funds” and melting credit cards…

I was going to say that they’ll come for the kids’ piggy banks next, but they’ve already got those.

Aqua — believe me, I am extremely difficult to offend. I took nothing personal from it. But appreciate your thoughtfulness. No offense taken, but I accept your apology without reservation, though it really was not needed. Mike

Deleted one of them…

Sorry, Mike, I posted my little satire twice by mistake.

I’m back on this thread after a few days, and I’m back with some fresh new marketing ideas for donations to Tampa’s Ideal Org, or to any Ideal Org:

Finally, Creation on the Second Dynamic will Align With Command Intention from the Very Moment of Birth Itself!!

THE FOUR POINT PLAN FOR POTENTIAL SEA ORG MEMBERS, TO INCLUDE ALL CHILDREN BORN TO MEMBERS OF THE RADICAL CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY, THEIR NIECES, NEPHEWS, GRANDCHILDREN AND GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN:

* IDEAL DIAPERS – A Special Unit will be set up at Int Base to Ideal Diapers to be sold to RCSers for the diapering of their babies. At a far greater cost than ordinary wog disposable diapers, their exclusive usage will be Command Intention for the diapering of all RCS babies from birth. . Each diaper will have the image of an Ideal Org depending on where the family lives. Every time the baby takes a crap and needs to be re-diapered the local Ideal Org will benefit

* IDEAL PULL-UPS – Also regulation, RCS-made, mandatory and part of Command Intention. Any accidents after baby is toilet trained help to build a new civilization.

* IDEAL TODDLER WEAR – Applicable as above. Active-Wear to include shoes and sneakers
* IDEAL CHILREN’S WEAR – Also as above, for RCS children 4-12 and/or until Sea Org Conscription.

“…and THIS is how your lustful pleasure -seeking on the 2nd Dynamic, resulting in selfish, irresponsible planned-for and unplanned -for pregnancies, which you sometimes refuse to abort., the cost of which has, to date, seriously impinged upon abilities to donate to your local Ideal Org – THIS is how thoseuseless brats of yours will now, from the moment of their birth, be HELPING TO BUILD A NEW CIVILIZATION! “

Laughter!!

plainoldthetan,
Thank you for the 1954 LRH quote as re the wisdom of ensuring that the first dynamic be included in one’s life’s purposes, goals and activities. I had never seen this before, and just reading this plain common sense from the Ole Man has made my day.

Maybe I’ll quit driving and take the 1-hour plus transit system to scrape another 3 ideal dollars together. Better yet, soup line-ups in skid row … and I could come up with another 200 monthly. $30 on a pair of running shoes … I ought to be shot when the Salvation Army is doing a $1 sale on 70’s era plastic-sandal clear-outs. I think I’ll just start bi-daily O/W write ups again before the MAA assigns me treason for wasting org funds.

And who says self-abnegation doesn’t work?
