Guest guest Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 David...where do you find this stuff??? You have made me laugh again. Thank you. I love to laugh!!! I actually listened to Dr. Laura on the way into work a few times a few years ago, because I found her and her show so amusing. Nothing like a few good laughs before you go to court to get eaten by the other lions. I don't remember much more than the laughter I sometime got...except that I think she yelled at people alot. You do know she means well!!! Now, to ruin all of our fun, let us be reminded that she is one of the circle. So, I hope you can laugh with me with her, not at her!!! Hmmmmm...Our own teeth sometimes bite our tongue. Do we therefore break our teeth? Do not attack the Lauras :-) Gee, Bobby G., I am getting so boring...it's all your fault, Sri Ramana Maharshi. Well, not All your fault. But you are definitely a co-conspirator!!! I convict you as charged and sentence you to Moksha. Oh, you say you already attained Moksha. Well...I never!!! By the way, Kheyala, I yell at my kids all the time. Of course, sometimes it is just so I can be heard above the roar. Remember another thing Maharshi always reminded us of...we are perfect... OM Poornamadah Poornamidam Poornaat Poornamudachyate Poornasya Poornamaadaaya Poornamevaavashishyate OM shaantiH shaantiH shaantiH That is perfect-this is perfect. What comes from such perfection truly is Perfect. What remains after perfection from perfection is yet perfect May there be peace peace and perfect peace.

No. Someone once said, "We get our tongue removed." or more acurately, "Eee et our ung emoov" > Do not attack the Lauras Were I a judge I would sentence her to spend 3 hours a week with some nice homosexuals. > I yell at my kids all the time. You know, when folks are dying on their deathbed you never hear 'em say, "Gee, I wish my mom yelled more at me." (except the ones with lousy hearing) > we are perfect...
