THE REBIRTH OF TDB ~ "A COMMUNITY ENERGIZED BY THE MEMORY/SPIRIT OF MARBLEHEAD/JIM" To me this community is borne of/by itself in the morning of 9 December 2019 (Singapore time). JIM HAS RE- ARISEN? YES/NO? - Anand

THE LAST 10 MINUTES OF 8 DECEMBER 2019 ~ SINGAPORE TIME (The Quiet Corner Bar and Grille ~ page 33 =>) Prior to the last 10 minutes they were already at the Bar & Grille... they had followed the count-down... I was especially touched by Brian's presence. Why? He was hospitalized then... (Bro ~ as a researcher I like to be empirical). Even now when I recall Brian's presence ~ for me... When ilumairen saw Brian this transpired ~ "Brian, it is soo nice to see you again. I have not forgotten how naturally kind you were to me in my earlier days here, and hold you in fond and high regard. Your presence has also been missed this last year." When I said this ~ JIM ~ NOT GOODBYE... BUT UNTIL SOON ... I felt both both of them were with me ... three dimensionally. I am prepared to swear that it was not my imagination. - Anand

My dear Barbara, You are indeed a very naughty lady. Please don't get me into the deep again... my position is still precarious. I do not want to be separated from my friends during Christmas. Remember ~ I will hold your hands anytime... but I may pinch a little... A pinch for being a naughty lady. - Anand

.......xxx.......xxxx.........x.......xx.........xxxxxx.......x.....x.... Good morning Apech, You started the P! You better apologize to the Ladies. Nothing to do with me... I am going for breakfast. Preposterous! - Anand

Hi J, Thank you for thinking of me as an actor and a rascal. I am touched ~ really. I once mentioned that I am nicknamed the "monkey" at home and Jim said that he was not surprised. There is a thread somewhere. ... Creighton had said this of me... "Your monkey nature was apparent to me immediately. Animal spirits speak in a language I am quick to pick up on." However I would like to qualify that I am a serious monkey. I am quick to pick up on those who communicate, comment, critique... with personal agendas. To such people I would like to add ~ "don't waste your time on me... I will not bite your bait". Please be rest assured that I have no... I have a few very trusted friends at TDB. In my relationships with fellow beings, I am not afraid to build trust... which is of utmost importance to me... until I am proven wrong... I have absolute trust in Jim... built as a process over time... - Anand

You are naughty and obviously still trying to get me into trouble... "The Limahong actor's coming to town" ...

Hi J, It is not my thread but TDB's. I had enough trouble... so... I am now apologizing to B on your behalf ~ Sorry. - Anand.

Hi B, You are right ~ I had encroached on the public domain. But I was just trying to share that J is no more sad ~ short and sharp. My apology. - Anand

OUR SEVEN CHAKRAS HAVE THE SAME COLORS OF THE RAINBOW ~ AND IN THE SAME ORDER.

Hi J, Thank you for your PM. Not 96 but 97 ~ every extra day... a bonus for us (how did you know?). We live simple honest lives... with a purpose. - Anand

Hi Nun, Please enlighten on the details. Thank you for your participation. - Anand

Hi All, When the post that initialized a thread is "strikthrough-ed" ~ it means that the post is pending for deletion. Yes/no? With deletion in focus ~ whatever posts that followed the post of initialization will soon be null & void. Yes/no? So everything that is posted on this thread will soon be out ~ and Everything remains. Yes/no? ... Yes/no? ... Yes/no? . . . Peace Bros Peace (Siss also). - Anand

Bro ~ please do not be sad. The truth has prevailed. How can I make you happy?

Hi Earl, You remember that you had approached me on this forum on your proposed collaboration re a Singlish version of the Tao Te Ching? Then you had impressed me as a very bright young man and I agreed to a meeting in Singapore. You had also told me that we would meet up with a Dr Chan (if my memory is right on the spelling) at a venue near Bugis. But before we meet ~ you blew a fuse. Henceforth I was glad that I had painted a prior unappealing profile of myself ~ thus no loss to you. You still strike me as a bright young man but... Take good care. - Anand

Hi Mig, I believe we had crossed paths before. I am on the same page with you when it comes to Jim. I have placed Jim's obituary in my heart. Why? I don't know where I will be tomorrow at... - Anand

Dear Pilgrim, I feel for you per the citation and the rest associated with it in the same post. Thank you also for sharing with me more on PM. I have not read 'your and all the other' posts until today. It tickles me greatly to find myself referred as to "a foreigner" and "a submissive Chinese". I believe some clarifications may be in reasonable good order to have the 'pieces' converged to 'peace'. (1) "A foreigner" ~ if this label is associated with things "Eastern/Western"... a greater part of my education has UK roots. My nickname in school was "Englishman" as I read with a stiff upper lip. (2) "A submissive Chinese" ~ if this label means that I may be a humble human being... then thank you. My grandparents and parents had tried to bring me up to be thus. But if it means that I may be accustomed to humble pies... then I will respond categorically here in no uncertain terms... FxxK OFF! Bro - we are the children of ONE source... and during this yuletide period let us feel it in our blood... - Anand

Dear ilumairen, Wonder if sean would like to host a X'mas Party at your Bar & Grille. Re our recent celebrations ~ the newer TDB members were missed out. As the hostess of the Bar & Grille will you knock on his door to ask for an invite with him as HOST? Knock gently like the true gracious lady that you are... (Don't tell him that I have suggested to you to do thus. I don't want to be xxxned during Christmas and be away from my friends. Promised?) - Anonymous

W H O O W N (S) T H E D A O B U M S ? Without its community ~ TDB is a nonenity. Yes/no?

A S A C O M M U N I T Y... United we stand ... divided we fall. Which is which?

Hi... You are getting too BIG for your good own. This can happen to you if you don't zip your... If you think that you are BIG ~ there are others who is (are) BIGGER. Under certain circumstances size matters. I did not pay heed when Jim was trying to get CYA across to me... much to my own peril. Bro ~ I am only trying to share with you experientially. Please don't ask me any follow-up questions... I have learned to CMA (hehehe). - Anand

Hi Apech, ... is the word. May I add ~ self-discipline, self-reflection, self-respect, self-realization... - Anand
