Siska,
I purposefully did not jump right in and answer your question about Buddha. I
knew there'd be plenty of others who would respond to that. But, your comments
in the attached post prompt me to respond.
Buddha does mean 'the awakened one' in Sanskrit - at least that's what I've
been
Bill,
The scenarios you present are so radically different that it makes me think I'm
missing some finer, subtler point - but for the life of me I can't find it! A
jury will take into consideration the standards/accepted know.ledge of the
time when they make a decision. Ask someone today

Reading message in capital letters again, I don't feel good about it now. That
is not the way to talk to anyone. I could simply choose to be silence and
ignore the mail. But it felt as I was bombarded by the mail. Sorry ED. I

Ok I can see you never try that beer without alcohol. Drinking in mindfulness
only means to be aware of what you are drinking, sensing what you are drinking,
feeling its taste, feeling how your lips, tongue, teeth, mouth, throat,

Are you sure 7 UP contains beer?

I don't see the connection between the British Army and orgyhouse studies. Is

Mayka,
Sorry, I was wrong. But in Asia here, bringing cigarettes from one country to
another involves heavy duty above the quota. It is different in different
places. Singapore gives you zero quota, which means every single piece has to
be taxed. Hong Kong is a bit more lenient, with 19
