No, not Jim Heller. That's too easy.
Guess who?
Yes, SHP - Sanford Pass. It's definitely him. He, as we know, is a Muslim now. All that effort Jim went through to free him from Maharaji and he ends up as a Muslim.
I don't know why and how Facebook does this matching of people as potential friends. It's down right scary. And then it's trying to match me up with a guy name Anth Ginn. Can you believe that?

I knew there was a reason I had avoided facebook for so long. It's offering me up my landlady as a friend. How does it know?
It's evil!

Wait until you start noticing the targeted advertising based on what you do when you think no one is looking.......

Sandford Pass. That's a blast from the past. Wow! 
Facebook, Google, and just about everybody else has our information. It's spooky, but I gave up worrying about it. Every purchase I make online is known. Information known by whom? is the question.
I still don't have a cell phone. Well, my sisters bought me a really nice Samsung, loaded, but I could not get used to it. I did have it with me when I was still driving Tom to Burlington for tests, just in case we had an emergency on the road.
I do have a Kindle Fire, which I love. I never thought I'd ever read books on a tablet, but it's great, especially the blue shade feature. I can borrow current books from any library in Vermont. And so many free classics!
But, the Kindle store thinks it knows what I want to read. Now that makes me feel a bit stern.
I'm thinking about getting a folding phone, like Jitterbug. LOL! I'm serious. Don't laugh!

Cynthia, I just got my first smartphone about 2 years ago. I held out a long time using a reliable small and fit in the pants pocket.
My smartphone is a small one and fits in my shirt pocket. Newer smartphones are gigantic. It's ridiculous.
Make sure the carrier for your new flip phone adequately covers your area and where you mostly go.

Thanks. I don't really need a cell phone but would like one if I drive out of the Mad River Valley.
We have pretty good coverage around here, but it gets spotty in areas no one can help.

I joined about 5 or 6 years ago. I had some fun tracking down people from my past, but once I realized how incompatable they were. I dumped 'em. Generally due to religions or too much misplaced patriotism . I was friends with Jim for a couple days too. Once him and his other friends ganged up on me for pointing out my own rough experiences with other religions, I was out of there. I'll be facebook friends with any of you folks. I have long white hair, holding a little 1/2 Jamaican boy in the forest a few months ago. My name is fairly unique, common Irish first name and common Polish 2nd. When I joined on here I was a little paranoid about my PWK employers/friends finding out, thus chose a fake name related to my 28 year old son, and best friend August. I use my real name on FB, and it is Kevin Matysiak. I have nothing to hide. My Pwk buddies relish my enthusiasm towards trying to escape. I see cracks. It's all about money. My one old UK , now Canadian buddy, seriously doesn't have much after his living expenses, from his pension to go anywhere. I think this recent Amaroo was his last big hurrah, sadly sacrificing much needed dental work. I really need to slow down now on my "constructive criticism" It's starting to almost seem cruel, certainly redundant to campaign against a warm bodied, good hearted brick wall. I hope I'm right in some way, and Rawat will come up short on peoples wills.

Mark Twain said it well: "It is easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled."

The black and white Kindle screen is much (much!)better for a low-impact reading experience. There's no need for a full-color screen when just reading text.
The black and white screens still aren't mainstream because they don't permit fast animation (they are very slow to update). They are second to none, though, for passive reading (they do not emit light; only reflect it).
As far as the phone goes, the google keyboard feature worth using is called Google Voice Typing. There's a small microphone icon in the upper right corner of the pop-up keyboard thing. You tap that, and talk into the phone. It types what you say (or at least, something reminscent of what you say, haha).

I've created a CrowdFunding site to help fund my lifestyle.

Hi Roger,
I hear that Anth Ginn has become a realised soul nowadays, and is crowd funding to buy land in the Himalayas, build an ashram with a large garage, and purchase a collection of luxury cars. Apparently he regularly cures the sick, raises the dead, turns water into malt whiskey, helps poorly kittens and relieves the rich of their money. I suggest you become a social media friend of his asap and contribute generously to his mission of peace.
Good vibes and good food,
the don't Misanthropist.
