I have had a strange experience with this apple computer and do not know yet what to think of it. I had packed it ready to go for a one on one session last Friday which turned into a disaster when a water bottle that I had somehow or other (and am not sure why I put it in the bag) leaked in my travel bag. It soaked the entire bag and I quickly pulled the briefcase carrying the computer out to see if the computer would work. It did not turn on. So as I had an appointment at Apple, I called the Apple store to talk to a technician who told me to bring it in to see what could be done. I did as I was told.
The odd part is that the interior of the briefcase is not wet nor are any of the papers inside water damaged. So water did not really get inside but the computer was affected it seems. I do not understand any of it. But I took it into the store and a man name of Craig took it back to see if there was water in it. He said that they found "puddles" of water, and gave me a bad scenario.
This story is not over. It turns out it is not as bad as it seems but it is bad nonetheless. I have made an appointment to go talk to a genius bar person tomorrow to help me to solve some of the problems. Verizon is really having too many problems for this to continue. I must have apps put back on that I had had on as I was told that I could just have them downloaded. So I need genius to help me with that.
So this story is to be continued.

Buying a new t.v.! Lordy! What an experience!
I have had such a time in the problem of buying a new t.v. I have done without a t.v. for the past four years. I had no real need of one since I use the internet and if I want, can go up to the clubhouse to use the one that is in the front room. I have done that on a few occasions but it is rare that I do. It is a nice sized one and I have enjoyed watching special events on it. But finally, I have decided upon a special t.v. which may well last me many years. I am hoping despite buying a protection plan for three years should anything go wrong with it in that time.
What a shmuck I think to myself but heck, it is only costing $100 for delivery and installation of both t.v. and stand upon which to mount it. And believe me, this is a great mounting stand.
The television set itself is fantastic by Sony's own description. It is the Sony 47 inch t.v which is also a smart t.v. so that I can use the internet on it and it comes with wifi. It means that I will have to connect to century link or cox for the internet. I am using Dish Satellite for the t.v.
But before I finally settled upon this, I had begun my shopping at BEST BUY which was a sorry experience but my own fault. I bought the cheapest one instead of the more expensive because I thought maybe I should just have a small cheap t.v. to get me through the year. What a mistake that was. I had to return it and did say I would be back to buy another in July. Guess I have had to break my word on that as I then went to Sears where I found a Sony Bravia 46 inch on sale that had been a store demo and was reduced by $500. After discussing it long and hard, I decided that I had better shop around and wait it out.
So today I finally made my way to the Tempe Fry's Electronic store to find this t.v. being discussed by a salesman and a gentleman. I liked it and so I ended up buying it thanks to a second salesman who came along to help me. So tomorrow I pay for it and it will be on its way to be set up on Thursday morning by the Dish technicians. The Fry group will deliver hopefully Tuesday or Wednesday and install it and set it up for me. I will buy an antenna to hook it up to see that the t..v does work when it is brought in before the dish hookup.
Oh well, it is things like this that drive me nuts. It used to be that all you had to do was go pick up the t.v., plug it in, and lo and behold, t.v. came in...not any more. Digital t.v. and all this high tech stuff has changed everything...So complicated.
Will have an update after all is installed. Til then, it is all anticipation!

End of family problems
Well, after talking to Ryan Hodges, attorney at law, in Mesa, AZ., I finally got my trust problems all straightened out so that finally it is all over now.
I will not go into details here but finally I have freedom. My brother has freedom. That is enough for now.

Finding a t.v. and a car
Tomorrow is the Belmont Stakes. I am wanting to finally make my plan work in this betting game. I hope to succeed enough to be able to buy a new t.v., a car, and a wig I found at PV this afternoon. I fell in love with a wig with dancing curls. I loved it, and there is another there that I liked also but now I can't be greedy, can I? Hahahaha!
I bought an Insignia t.v. at Best Buy to have to return it for full refund. I could not get it to work and it did not come with a Users Guide. What a mess! So I went to Sears at Paradise Valley where I studied their display of televisions and found the right size and the right make and model but it turns out that it is the only one left in that model. It has been on the floor all this time which makes it eligible for a store discount in addition to the already greatly reduced price, but their protection plan is prohibitive in comparison to others.
I left knowing that I like that model and size best and so I will find that t.v. somewhere somehow and get it.
As I have bought at Sears for years, I became a member again. It is ridiculous at how often we have to do this at some of these stores. But I was reminded of when I bought a t.v. at Sears for only $222 back in 1974 and bought the insurance on it but never had to use it. They always say use it whether you need to or not, but it is a hassle to always have to have to take it in, or have someone come out to clean it up. It turns out now that they will come out to your home to clean it up for you when you buy the protection plan.
I have always hated insurance because it is always a waste of money. I never use it.
It is just a way for insurance companies to get rich.
So anyway, tomorrow will be an offtrack again. Muddy or sloppy as they call it. It is anyone's guess who will win but the two already winners of the other legs are Oxbow and Orb, so they will be favorites again. I am hoping a real longshot will win again as Oxbow had done in the Preakness. That will be nice for a winning whopper of a trifecta or superfecta!.

Looking for a television now.
I decided I need a t.v. so I went shopping and because of the low price, bought a cheapie last night at Best Buy. I had studied the t.v. sets that were on display very carefully but after bringing it home and opening it to try to get it to work right, I had to return it tonight to get my entire purchase price back. I had bought an antenna to be able to see the t.v. if it came on but I never did get that far. This unique t.v. did not have a user's guide in the set so I had to go online to get it, and that was such a hassle that I gave up on it immediately. I was able to get some information on screen but never a picture so decided I definitely would not want to deal with this any more. So I had to take it back tonight and say that I will research them more carefully, and get a size larger even, and wait for the fourth of July sales, or a deal if one comes along for either Sony Bravia or Samsung SmartTV. So I am back to trying to decide which t.v. will fit my needs the best. What a chore! So Now I will close this to look for both brands once more to decide which would be better for me. I like the price of the Samsung Smart T.V. But do I really need all that stuff? So I have to do some more research on this now.

Computers and Old Movie
The issue of computers is that I am still learning all that there is to know about this new computer which has been a joy to me. I love this system and all that I am learning. Granted, I did not take a course at Microsoft which is offered but I had no idea then that I would be entertaining the thoughts of writing books. I went back into the world of yesterday due to simple curiosity and no more. But watching an old made for t.v. movie from France on the topic of Louis XIV made me recall my first adventures into past lifetimes.
The movie is in French language and I am not fluent in French at all, but I have a minor grasp of it. I can read it fairly well, with practice but listening and hearing is not my best so that I miss many things. I have been trying gradually to learn it as best I can through films and such but without a clue as to some words a lot passes right over my head.
However, I watched this film through to the end and was astounded at how well made it really is. I loved the costumes. One thing that impacted me in all my journeys to the past are the richness of the costumes, the materialized items that still remain somewhere for me to see and experience.
I always get a good look at the difference between so called history records and the experience of being in that place in the shoes of someone. In my case, I have always been in the lead characters, the King, and the General, or hero of these particular experiences. I have been inside the mind and heart of Louis XIV, Alexander, George Washington, and others who remain unnamed at this point.
How do I explain this? Frankly, I don't even try any longer. It just happened as I asked who am I? And that is what I got. Others can deal with it as they so choose, but I have given it serious study and while not really possessed by it, it has opened my eyes to the world in a way that I had not entertained before.
For many years, I had been more taken up with my spiritual powers which I had learned that I possessed so that when I finally uncovered these identities in spirit, I was able to assimilate them into my lifestyle without too much real difficulty. I realized of course while watching the film of the number of men who had died while building the chateau that was the king's dream. That is an oft over played drama that occurred then and I do not diminish the lives of the men who are martyrs for the king's design. I thought probably many may be running for office in France today for all we know, or in America or other places. Nobody can ever be sure what souls do when reborn.
But the thought crossed my mind and I put it here so that I don't forget my thoughts about this on this day.
This is a year in which France is celebrating the 400th birth of LeNotre who was the king's chief gardener. I would like a chance to revisit Paris and the Chateau but don't know yet if I will or not. I have no plans for it at this moment.
One thing I learned is that it is good to learn of one's own past but one has this lifetime to live in which one has to deal with the present and current needs of the day, and while it is luxurious to dream and remember a past lifetime, it is just that- past and done with.
While watching the movie I thought of Egypt and the Valley of the Kings there. Most European countries now use these past royals as tourist attractions so that the nations continue to thrive due to them. Not all is lost for having been a king in a past lifetime for that country, but once the flesh is ripped away from you, you ascend into spirit to go into the next realm, and only a few ever are able to learn of past performances.
I do believe in myself, my personal revelations, and I am writing a book on Alexander at present, to be changed constantly as I dwell on it. I got the basic foundation laid out, but the book will probably look only vaguely similar to the original first draft. I keep altering it all the time, developing ideas as I go along, and censoring and editing myself all the time as well.
For the historians who study the written history of these men's lives, not to worry about those of us who for some reason or other tap into other resources to learn about these personalities. There is no conflict of interest here. I am not interested in academia or scholarship regarding college studies. I only use them as reference points and occasionally but seldom actually study them. My spiritual knowledge suits me just fine, and I am not likely to engage in any study of any of the characters, leaving it to those who choose that topic for their own reasons and purposes.
I cannot speak for any but myself. While I am very sure of my knowledge about "myself" I care not what others say at this point. I have accepted the truth as it is given to me, do not believe that there is some karmic debt to pay, as reincarnationists believe, but so be it, I believe that life is natural and ruled by natural laws, not man's thinking whether true or false.
I liked this version of Louis XIV and found it to be quite full of dignity and self respect, which is how I believe each person should be characterized. The actor chosen to play the role of Louis XIV did it with great respect, and I choose to like and appreciate that.
I did see the truth of how easy it is to see each person in history become the next person in history...through my eyes, of course...it all makes sense to me...except for me being the one who has finally realized it all, as I see myself so totally different and yet the same.
I will ask you first, then I will tell you....a common denominator that I am aware of in all that I have been and am.
