Bad Water

The rashes on this woman's back and the backs of her arms is not due to a reaction from a histamine release; it is from an instantaneous exposure to a physical, non-allergic stimulus.

In her case, it's water.

Her urticaria--or skin rashes that are otherwise normally caused by airborne pathogens and bacteria--is called aquagenic urticaria, resulting when she is exposed to any variation in the exposure of her skin to water.  In most cases she will have to use extreme caution when confronting an emotional situation prompting her to cry, running out to her car to retrieve something she'd forgotten while it is raining, getting really excited about kicking the soccer ball around in the backyard with her or someone else's kids and needing desperately to jump in the shower before a date.

There is no known treatment.

Are We Watching The Same Vid?

Comment found on a YouTube post of the 1987 System hit, "Don't Disturb This Groove:"

"REAL BiG-REAL BiG GAME TiME MiAMi HEAT PROFESSiONAL BASKETBALL PLAYERS & WiNNERS LBJ-DWADE-BOSH–MiLLER–CHALMERS­­­­­­­–HASLEM R STEPPiN UP & SHiNNiN BiG TiME ON THE NATiONAL & WORLD STAGE OF PROFESSiONAL CHAMPiONSHiP BASKETBALL-NO TiME 2QUiT-(MiAMi DOLPHiNS PROFESSiONAL FOOTBALL PLAYERS TAKE NOTES ON HOW 2 BECOME BiG GAME TiME WiNNERS & REAL CHAMPiONS iN THE NFL & iN MiAMi-ON & OFF OF THE PROFESSiONAL FOOTBALL FiELD) iF NOT NOW-WHEN DAMN-iT "BY ANY & ALL CAPABLE MEANS NECESSARY" BELiEVE"

I don't know what the hell this has to do with an 80's R&B song, but it's hilarious all the same.

Trust Issues

From the Hubbard Communications Office Manual of Justice, by L. Ron Hubbard:

It's a relief to a bad case to be punished. Sometimes they choose us for their executioners - worse luck. More often than not you as my representative get selected as the person to wield the axe and a criminal-type will try and try to get you to use an axe on him. It would feel so good to be punished after lives of crime. Axe him - but rehabilitate him too.

WHOM TO SUSPECT

Suspect people who have the following:
  1. Criminal connections or background.
  2. Communist membership or leanings (they attack all source).
  3. Low OCA/APA graphs.
  4. Auditors who get bad results on preclears.
  5. People low on the tone scale particularly physiologically (physiology not always reliable).
  6. People who don't pay their bills and who want it all free.
  7. People who tell you you could reach so many people if only you'd help them or their friends.
  8. Press.
  9. People who can't work.
  10. People who break up machinery or Mest.
It you simply swept all these out of every central organization you'd be a real winner. (Never consent to a post being filled with a bad person because the post is empty. An empty post is better than one badly filled always.)

WHOM TO TRUST

Trust the following:
  1. Auditors whose good results you have actually seen on graphs (never by repute the best auditor in town - this is press agentry not results).
  2. People who are able to work.
  3. People who get a job done easily.
  4. People whose Mest is in good shape.
  5. People who are routinely in good health.
  6. People whose cases run easily.
  7. People with high OCA or APA graphs.
  8. People in general.
So, if Scientologists can trust "people in general," then why did Tommy Davis walk off the set of his Nightline interview after Martin Bashir asked him about Xenu and the 'volcano?'
