X-Message-Number: 16544 Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2001 18:23:57 -0400 From: James Swayze <> Subject: Regarding ways to help me help myself References: <> To everyone concerned for my well being and cryonics suspension I want you to know I am taking note of postings about it on cryonet. These last few days I've had family matters to attend to and visitors so I haven't been able to keep up daily with cryonet or my other email for that matter. Regarding what the state will and will not allow me to earn I am going to obtain the very latest information and post that to a website so legal minds can peruse it and everyone may see the draconian nature of it. I may post them here http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4292752723&code=1859648&mode=invite in jpeg format where also are photos of me, if anyone is interested in what I look like. It may take a few days to gather the material. I want to reiterate that I do not want hand outs. I want to do my part and I think I am fully capable and more. I will accept Mr. Ettinger's offer and do my best at it should the CI board agree. I hope I truly have a useful skill that will be of value. I won't stop with this however. I still need to overcome my poverty and I think I can through my inventiveness. Once I gather the pertinent information regarding my imposed limitations it will become more clear why I feel this is the best route. It has a lot to do with earning enough to get above my medical expenses just to afford normal living expense. More details to come. The bottom line is I invite anyone or many to be my partner/s in one or more of my inventions. Regarding life insurance for me, Rudi is aware of me and my situation and we met in person. If he felt I was insurable I'm sure he'd have informed me. I don't wish to go into all my ailments to justify why I'm likely not insurable because I feel at some point it may be seen as trying too hard to garner sympathy. Just trust me it's very unlikely I could get the proper cryonics friendly life insurance. Regarding an autobiography, I am fine with this but after beginning to do so I got overwhelmed with the feeling that nobody would care to read about my life. I'm no celebrity although my life has been very interesting if not peculiar. I'm still open to this but would enough people really read it?
