Notice to the universe

OFFICIAL NOTICE TO THE UNIVERSE

As of today, February 23, 2006, the free advice shop is closed.

Free advice on any subject is no longer available at this address. If you want free information, you are welcome to search my free library at my business website. If it's not there, you may ask but you pay in advance.

Fees are non-negotiable. And, I just had a big rate increase.

If you don't think that my fees are reasonable, or that you should have to pay for these answers, then you can do your own research, or call someone else.

No more gracious gratuities, no more barren barter, no more "I'll pay you when I can." If you need it now, you pay for it now.

If you can't do your job and need my help in executing it, you're out of luck unless you're turning your entire salary over to me. If you can't run your business without my doing it for you, then you need to shut it down.

If you've an energy of trying to get something for nothing, or relying on friends to give you the answers, it's time for you to try another doorbell.

Dear Douglas,

First of all I am really sorry I missed you the other day when I stopped by I was going to see if you were available for lunch. I was going to offer to by.When you did not answer the door I went to Buffalo Wild Wings and had wings....imagine that.I knew you were home as I heard a dog...get silenced and although I wish you had joined me it is okay that you did n't.

I was in the shower, which is a risk one takes when one comes by unannounced.

I really am sorry for my part of our disagreements over the last few months.

There is no disagreement. I asked you to get me meds that I needed; you didn't. I have no problem that you found it undo-able, but when you created an ongoing story about having bought and sent them for six weeks when you never had, you have made it clear that you put more stake in your appearances than in our relationship or your trustworthiness.

I am hoping that you decide that our long term friend ship is more important that us staying angry at each other.

My reliance on you and your ongoing lie put me in the hospital. You never had a reason to be angry with me; I am not angry with you anymore. I've just done a cost/benefit analysis, and it did not work out for continuing the relationship.

As you probably know from my messages I have moved to Houston and am now the Community Relations Director for the Houston 1836 Major League Soccer Team.Opening day is April2 want a VIP pass?

No.

I am looking at renting a condo at 2016 Main and hope to be able to do a lease purchase on it.Our offices are going to be at the Wedge Bldg.and I can walk to work!

Sean is doing okay he has had his share of the same old issues ---to much partying this year and he finally is getting his act together and he does go to AA and is looking to graduate in December.He is planning to move to Houston and live in this area and either teach or go to grad school and or law school he is competing in weighlifting and occasionally judo and doing much better.

I have had the update straight from Sean.

Doug you have been a part of our lives for 14 years and we do not want to loose you over stupid things that were partially my fault and that we did not communicate on very effectivly.

There is no partially in this situation, and no my fault in it. Aggressive and damaging untruth is nearly impossible to get past; it has redefined your communication as being permanently untrustworthy.

Lets make up ...and be friends.

There is no upside for me in this proposal, and I decline.

Let me know,it is easier to forgive than forget.

There is nothing to be forgiven; there is just no value to me in continuing any relationship with you.

Cell is the same
361-xxx-xxxx.
Love you
Judy

Monday Monday ver 732.01

Ah, another Monday for 2006 crossed off the list.  

Got a lot of stuff cleaned up, repaired, put away, filed, organized, written, mailed out, knocked out and cleared out.  

I still have to get ready for tomorrow evening’s class.

Tomorrow, I have a manager’s meeting (mandatory!!!!!!) and lots of running around to do..  

Got to see Lance today, got to work on stuff for Chuck, talk to Susan .. she still wants me to move to Dallas REALLY badly.  It has a lot of appeal.

Speaking of Dallas, the car I want is there now, and I’ve talked to the dealer.  They can CPO it – which is GREAT news, and I’ll talk to the CU tomorrow about the financing.

FINALLY got a loan approval-ish from a new lender on the inter-Asian multi-lingual land deal I’ve been working on for months and months.  It’s not the greatest, but it’s something I can hopefully leverage with the OTHER lender to get something more workable.  I believe now that I can finally close this sucker in two weeks-ish.

Now, to find a lender for a non-warrantable, non-owner, inexperienced investor at 10% down on an ARM in a high rise.  Yeah, sure.

Let the visuals begin

PICTURES!  It’s always better with PICTURES!

Sunday evening blog entry

Church today was awesome – I talked about “Vanity” of the Seven DeadlySins – and it went VERY well. We were able to talk about bridging between people who have challenging or hostile views, such as fundamentalists, people from the other political viewpoint, family members – looking at them a different way. I think it’s going to be very powerful.

Chuck helped me with a power point presentation for the Vanity talk. It was pretty good; I think we can do better. This morning, I found a panaboard on eBay – and, we bought it for $180 – plus about $200 in shipping costs – in two weeks, I think that we’ll have a wall mounted A/V display for our presentations – it’s going to be GREAT.

Last night’s formal party for Robyn was LOTS of fun. Putting on a tux and going was great. Two people told me that I was the best dressed man there. That was nice. The new shoes were fabulous.

This week, I have a bunch to do – including cracking my internal fear that comes from infancy. I feel like I’ve been successful in clearing out these beliefs in my conscious mind, but they still run rampant in my subconscious mind. This afternoon, I did another brief meditation and then took a nap. My subconscious just ripped into the nap – I awoke with my heart pounding and my entire body awash in adrenaline.

So, how does this work? I keep trying to adjust my thinking and belief patterns, and this is just so deep – anyone have a roto-rooter device?

I think I’m going to work with Lisa again Tuesday night before class.

Taught myself Rune techniques today. It’s amazingly simple.

Just finished the last of the orange juice from oranges that I brought from Dad’s tree in his old back yard. Oranges from the grocery store have no flavor that’s remotely like it.

I’m watching a DVD of Michael Moore’s the “awful truth.” It’s kind of funny, but it sure is slanted. I started to watch one of his movies, and realized I’d watched it years ago.

Last night, after driving home from Robyn’s party, I was nosing around on eBay and found MY car – the dealership in Austin had sold it nearly two weeks ago, but now it’s at a VW dealer, and .. that means that the sole flaw in the vehicle could be resolved .. I can have it certified. That adds to the warranty, and gives one more confidence in the vehicle. I applied for a loan on it tonight with my credit union. We’ll see about that –

As I’ve been studying lately, I’m increasingly finding that it’s one’s expectations that create outcomes. It’s the expectancy. This could also be defined as the tendency of one’s beliefs and thinking. I think that as one develops ones ability with mental science, these thinking tendencies become more distinct and powerful, as one adds the belief in mental science to the tendencies, making them more effective. Thus, any focus on worry, fear, anxiety or negative beliefs will produce quicker, clearer results.

Of course, a shifted focus brings quick elimination of these anxieties.

I’m sure that part of my current state is my shifting view of what I want to do. I talked to Susan yesterday at some length about that, and I think it’s getting clearer for me. I’ve cooked up some plans for how I want my business website to work. I’m going to be expanding the website significantly, and I have some products to roll out that should be dandy. I need to focus on making this happen, along with all of my other projects.

Anyway, more watching this DVD, getting the trash ready for tomorrow morning, and some more meditation.
