Just been watching "Australia on Fire: Climate Emergency". When you saw the film of it, it brought home just how devastating it was. John

Hi Jude, how are you doing? I was somewhat worried about you. You are a good friend. I'm settling down after being with the Escobars John

Re: do you keep your computer desktop tudy?
OH dear Jude, it seems you've had some tough times. I'm starting to put things behind me. When I was a kid I had nightmares about vampires, monsters etc. After recent events, I'm never scared walking through the graveyard near my fathers home. I have nightmares now about drug dealers. I sometimes think I'm at my last address & wake up in a cold sweat John

Re: Hi
Dearest Jude & Peter, I am getting over things. It was really bad living next door to the Escobars. Well, that is unkind to the Escobars, because they helped their community. It was neighbours from hell. I think this might have been going on: I was really afraid they might have got me into their dirty work: What isn't widely known, but easily doable is to convert Pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) into methamphetamine with household ingredients in one easy step: Don't know if it's on a watch list in the UK but certainly is in the USA. 11 Sep 2012 -?Some of the ingredients include ether from starting fluid; red phosphorus found on the?head?of?match?sticks and in fireworks; ammonium nitrate, the ingredient in cold packs that make them get cold; lithium metal from camera batteries; sodium hydroxide from a drain cleaner; water; and pseudo ephedrine from cold medicine ... & if that doesn't scare you try this: GBL Gamma butyrolactone is used as a cleaning solvent easily purchased over the internet. It's converted into gamma-hydroxybutyric acid in the body. A date rape drug.
