[19September-2007 @ 17:11 EST: Revised preamble. This page still gets the most search hits: There is no Anthony de Croud. The e-mail is SPAM. I post things that pique my fancy at the moment. I like the 8 precepts, but the rest of the e-mail is junk. However, I thought it fair to post everything in its entirety. I did not write the e-mail. I did not forward the e-mail. I strongly encourage you not to forward it either. (I also encourage you to reply to whomever sent you the e-mail and tell them you don't appreciate getting junk mail.)] Received this in our e-mail (English translation follows): PRECEPTO CHINO SOBRE EL DINERO EL DINERO PUEDE COMPRAR UNA CASA, PERO NO UN HOGAR, EL DINERO PUEDE COMPRAR UN RELOJ, PERO NO EL TIEMPO.

I'm not that mellow and my thoughts are sometimes fanciful and creative but I can be pragmatic and realistic most often.
I do think about my friends and my life an awful lot.
"Of all the brain types, yours is the most mellow.
You tend to be in a meditative state most of the time. You don't try to think away your troubles.
Your thoughts are realistic, fresh, and honest. You truly see things as how they are.
Did you think yours was even close?
You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about your friends, your surroundings, and your life."
It is true at certain points. Sometimes I feel that I spend too much time for others and yet sometimes it drives me crazy when I want to help but I can't :p
ingrid: isn't it wonderful to find like minded people?
ancilla: like I commented to MOI, it is general enough to be true for most people at some time or other. If I had come up as blue brained, I would have accepted it just as easily as being purple brained.
btw, can u remove the 'word verification' requirement for commenting here.... it's a 'pain' to comment here, i need to try a few times for each comment to succeed. :(
So ... for the time being it is going to stay. Maybe I should disable anonymous comments, but then that would have stopped "inner grace" from leaving a comment a few days ago.
Just my thoughts...
