Re: [aymara] Preguntas

["Laura Jones" <lmjones@xxxxxxx>]

Hey, Aymar, this is great!  Yes, I think when we start comparing our actual
experiences, then - something very healing happens. We are still the same
person, but these mental habits don't have quite the same grip on us.  But,
Aymar, the word isn't anal!  That relates to our backside!  But it's my
point exactly about English.  There was a good joke I read in the Reader's
Digest once about some immigrants who were discussing their friend whose
wife could not have a baby.  She's inconceivable, said one.  No, she's
impregnable, said another.  I forget the rest, but the joke had 4 words, any
one of which could have meant unable to have a baby!  Is Aymara like that?
By the way, I tremendously enjoyed the Akataksa page, when I finish reading
my e-mail for today I will write to Bill Gates and George Soros as I replied
to the page that I would.  You see, Aymar, my tactic - because I am such a
small and unimportant person, no one wants to hear me - so my tactic is to
write to a lot of very important people (incl. the Pope and all Orthodox
primates, for a while I had all the NATO heads of state) who then will want
to see what I am saying to all the others, this has been tremendously
effective for me.  When I get a new person who is very famous, I send a few
one-day airmails to get their attention.  You know, it comes in a shiney
cardboard envelope, large, bright red, white, and blue.  Then after I figure
they know me I drop back to regular snail mail - or in the case of the Pope
and Ted Turner, they sent me e-mails that I can use.  So Soros already knows
me, for Gates I'm still using the one-day airmails, but he will soon know
how connected I am, and if he doesn't do anything, I will start to nag him,
to put him on a guilt trip.  So far, as I say, this has been most effective!
Love to all - Laura
