This weekend I cleaned out garage up. The process took quite a few hours and produced a large amount of trash. However it also produced a number of things I was holding on to and was ready to “release.” I thought it was an excellent opportunity to try freecycling to which I was introduced to by ContentLove. Monday night I posted a number of listings to the ( Read more... )

The following is a reply I wrote to sabazius_x regarding his post of The Nature and Purpose of O.T.O. (DRAFT). I thought it might be interesting and worth discussing so I have also moved it to my LJ as a post. This is meant in no way to be disrespectful to sabazius_x.

In relpy to a request for OTO membership numbers by OmegaBaphomet here, I have posted a link that details the membership changes of the OTO from minerval to 6+ from 1988 to 2004.
