90DF Live Chat 3: I Gave Up Everything To Be Here


  • Start Topic

Recommended Posts

The Beatles went to Rishikesh India and it resulted in most of the songs from the White Album, and in fact, I postulate that if they had taken another working vacation to write songs and gone to another exotic location,  it would have probably added several years to the band and they wouldn't have broken up.  Going to India resulted in some the best songs of their career, and that's saying a lot!

I could never be that physical with an exe especially after I fucked him over so badly. She’s just revolting

Weren’t those Moonies?

Moonies sold flowers in airports, and on sidewalks, and were very aggressive about it.    My dad said a woman blocking him in the airport and trying to make him buy her flowers was the closest he ever came to punching out a woman.     The devotees were sucked into their cult, and in several case I know of, when the parents cut the money off, the adult children disappeared from their lives, never to be seen again.   Moon owned a lot of the fish processing operations in Alaska, had a gigantic estate, and a lot of other businesses (Moon died in 2012). 

Hare Krishna also solicited for donations though, and wore robes.

All four Beatles were guests of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in the late 60s. I remember George said he was always smiling. I would be smiling too if I had four of the richest men in the world in my thrall.

Ringo left early because he couldn't handle the food. The other three left after the Maharishi was revealed to be a dirty old man. But George was really moved by the spirituality and stayed engaged, not with the maharishi though. It was actually Patti, George's wife, who introduced him to Indian religion. 

Yes, I'm a Beatles nerd.

No, those were definitely Krishnas. They wore orange robes and sang and danced. Moonies wore suits and bought real estate. They own Gorton's of Gloucester too.

Just out of curiosity: How much does it cost in US dollars to rent a 3-bedroom multi-level house in (I presume) Addis Ababa?

If I recall from my snooping last week, it was about $1800.  So, Ari's parents' paying $2000 a month to keep Ari there is probably a lot cheaper than paying her for part-time employment and fancy bras, yoga lessons, etc., in Princeton.

For a while, the leader owned the Washington Times newspaper (not to be confused with the Washington Post).

Could be, I stand corrected.    It was usually men, bald, dressed in white robes.  They were very aggressive.

Guys.  I accepted a job offer last week and now I have to break it to my current team that I'm leaving the company.  Yikes...  (so my interview went fine!)

And I kind of want to make out with my friend who works there, but he doesn't know it.

Anyway, hellooooo let's fret about hurricanes now.

You should definitely tell him you want to swap spit before you leave.  Or maybe not.

Why would you fly somewhere that just had a major hurricane when you don’t even know where your fiancé is? I'm so scared and am praying for this crazy woman.

You are so compassionate, I’m waiting with baited breath for her to be stranded at the airport for six days
