December 30^TH, 2009

The last post of this year my dear friends.

I hope you all enjoyed the Christmas and today and tomorrow I want to wish you all a very HEALTHY, HAPPY and SAFE ending of 2009.

In about ten days I will write here again to wish you a Happy New Year, but when you read this in 2010: I already do that!

We had a White Christmas here for the first time in many years, so that was very special. Now the snow is already gone, so just in time. We had the first White Christmas in 28 years!

A few days ago I was looking CNN and I was shocked to hear there was a terrorist-attempt with explosives.

I can tell you that our Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is the most unfriendly and unsafe airport in the World (1000 security-idiots who arrest you when you even look at a sigaret, while the heroine and coke and diamonds are passing them even with their help)

They took out my 71 year old mother a few months ago……, yes, she is a typical terrorist-suspect…..

But I am happy it went good, maybe the Intelligence Services are waking up again.

And we here in Holland are proud of Jasper Schuringa, a businessman who helped stop that Nigerian idiot.

Please all be careful on New Years Eve and keep your loved ones close and tell them you love them: I know every day can be the last day you see them.

I had that with my father and I will never forget that.

I don’t want to bring you in a depression, so I tell you not to think about the bad scenario, but just make a habbit of it, I do it now always and it makes relations much better.

And it is so easy.

Hear you all the next year dear friends, I want to thank you all for being there and I am very proud to have so many good friends.

Even without knowing eachother personally, it is a wonderful feeling, stay well and take care,

René.

December 22^ND, 2009

And a big Hi from a white Holland my dear friends.

For the first time in years we have snow in the place where I live; because I live so close to the sea it is very rare. Although I remember when I was young, it was every year.

So it is (expected…?) bad news that those big people didn’t achieve anything in Copenhagen, because something is realy changing.

Everything here is totaly fine, the computer is fixed already for about a week, although it is possible some on its way e-mails didn’t go out.

So I hope you all want to hope with me that the dear mail-systems do the rest, because ofcourse all the envelopes DID go out.

I am very sorry when somebody doesn’t get the order before the holidays, but every year again, there are people who think sending an order 2 weeks before Christmas, expect to get it in time.

Ofcourse I want to wish you all Very Happy Christmas and I will write here again between Christmas and New Year.

I hope you will enjoy your time with family and friends and that you also burn many candles.

But this year, please burn one extra for the 300.000 people who died 5 years ago in the Tsunami on December the 26^TH 2004.

After the Tsunami I have been on 3 placeswhere the waves hit and when I see pictures on TV, I still get tears in my eyes.

In Mumbassa, Kenya, everything was the same again already after 1 year.

In Sri Lanka I visited the Rememberance of 2 ½ years in the South-East part of the Island.

There was still a lot of damage to see at what realy looked like paradise.

But when you saw the small monument and the left parts of what was a beautiful resort once, it made me realize what the sea is able to do.

1 Year ago I was on Phuket; well, I probably chose the wrong place (Patong Beach), because you don’t want to send your worse enemy there.

The Island is beautiful, but the commercial people who keep bothering you there, chased me away after 5 days.

But I was not there for the people. My friend, who was with me and was there only a month before the tsunami, pointed me places where even 5 story-hotels where completely destroyed.

When I look the news these days and hear about all the “problems” we have here because of the worst snow in 20 years, it realy brings things in perspectives, how we dare to complain because the busses and trains are not in time!

So one Candle for those 300.000 innocent people in Asia, Africa and Sri Lanka!

But for the rest: Very Happy Days and you will hear from me in a week, stay well and take care,

René.

December 15^TH, 2009

Back safe in Holland my dear friends, sorry I am a bit late, but I missed my first flight, so I had to take a plane 2 days later.

Two problems: the home-computer has been crashed for a week, so this Wednesday we are starting with processing the orders.

Well, lets say that my life is not boring; the reason I missed the flight was because of an accident in Bangkok on the way to the airport.

I am very fine, because I was sitting in the back with my safetybelt. Just a little pain in my breast.

But my taxidriver broke a leg and an arm and his face looked like Berlusconi.

I have my First Aid, so I have been busy waiting for the ambulance to take care of the driver.

Anybody who knows the traffic in Bangkok can understand that it took more then an hour for the ambulance to arrive. And to make a long story short: I always check in online, so I don’t go to an airport 3 hours before the plane leaves.

I was 5 minutes too late and had to wait 2 days for the next flight, my hotel was so kind to give me the room for free.

The coming days I will answer the e-mails and we will send all orders, so please keep e-mails limited: sending your orders before Christmas is my priority.

A short note, but you will understand everything else is more important.

Maybe next time I will tell you about another bite I had, God, what a life!

Thank you all for your patience and understanding, I will write here again before the holidays, stay well and take care.

I will be allright, because I must have a thousand Guardian-Angels, stay well and take care,

René.

December 2^ND, 2009

And hello again from a warm Thailand my dear friends.

At this moment, this is my view from my room, so no complains here, only some pain in my mouth, but they are doing a great job!

Thank you very much for the kind and sweet e-mails I received for my mother, she is fine now.

I am also fine; a few more appointments at the dentist and the whole upper side of my mouth is completely alright again.

In January they will do the down side…..

I had the honour to visit the King of Thailand in the hospital. I can not talk about it because it a very delicate issue here in Thailand. 3 Weeks ago someone told something here in Thailand about his health and has 20 years in prison.

His birthday is this Saturday December 5^th, so its going to be a big party.

In 2 weeks I will be back in Holland, but without me everything went beautiful.

Only one problem this month, you will read it below.

This is one example I want to share with you.

Sometimes an envelope gets lost, most of you know when you contact me, I will resend it.

But here is the perfect example of someone who will never get any replacement.

Talk about my family and you are on the Blackest Blacklist:

“Hi Rene,  

If you are not going to send me my order, would you please send me back my $260 I sent to you?  

I cannot afford to lose this kind of money. I am going back on chemotherapy and I have doctor's bills and many other bills to pay. I sent that money to you in trust.  

I thought you were my friend, and I treated you very good, and this is why it hurts so much. 

What a person gives out returns to him multiplied. I predict much heartache ahead for you if you do not do the right thing. I will also put a curse on you and your family for wronging me. 

Thank you for your time. You have truly lost a very good friend if this is not resolved.

Kieran W….”

Anyway, 2 times a year I have someone like that, so no problem for me; BUT my family is another thing!

I even wished they visited me in Holland, I prefer when I am there, but when I am not there they will have also a good welcome.

I will try to write again before I go back, but it is possible it will take about 11 or 12 days before I write again.

Please take all good care of yourself, its too early to think about the holidays, so that is something to talk about next time.

Be well, stay well and stay my good friends, thank you all,

René.

November 24^TH, 2009

Hello all my dear friends.

Just a short post this time that everything is very fine in Holland and here in Thailand.

My mother had good news, that they were able to remove everything and she has to come back in 3 months.

So I have had some very relaxing days in the village, and the reason I write a bit earlier then normal is, that tomorrow I fly to Bangkok and the 26^th the treatment with my mouth continues.

So I think I will not be in the mood very much to write here a few days.

Also please keep in mind that my answers at your e-mails may be taking a little longer.

Please don’t worry about me, because what I have is just a minor thing compared to what many of you are going through.

Please take good care of yourself and your dear people around you, until the next time, take care,

René.

November 16^TH, 2009

Hello my dear friends, back from “Motorbike-City”; my God, I have seen more motorbikes in 3 days than in the whole rest of my life!

It remembers me of the song of Katie Malua: “nine million bycicles in Beijing”. The only difference is that there are no bycicles in Saigon, but motorbikes.

Every crossover on a street is a first class cuïcide-attempt; I loved it !!

Ho Chi Minh is a wonderful city,, this is realy worth a visit. Although many people sill call it Saigon.

I changed 50 dollars and It made me a millionaire instantly in “Vietnam Dong”:

This is going to be another “picture-post”, so I am sorry it will probably take a long time to load: 6 weeks and I will start the 2010-page.

When we think about Cambodia and Vietnam we always remember the terrible history. Everybody has this picture of Vietnam in his or her brain:

But that is past and the 2 countries are realy developing.

What the bureaucracy of Thailand and the corruption of police and government is destroying against the tourists and the people like me who almost live here; Cambodia, Malaysia and Vietnam are going to be the better places to go.

I had a hotel with free WiFi, so I could answer all the e-mails (at least still 30 a day, so the mentions that I am not available for a few days on my webpages are not helping very much I am afraid, so I will stop that).

Just one business-thing:

***We received an envelope with just an e-mailaddress, a part of that is: Sweetpet. The e-mail doesn’t work, no address no order, so I hope that friend will read this and contact me. ***

I also made some new friends here in the village; a big frog who passsd me every evening to sit on my arm to get warm, and a sort of “living plant”; it has a quite scary head and it bit me once (see picture), but it is all part of how I live:

I realy love this life!!

It may be strange for many of you, but I met a friend here who never saw a Banana-tree, so for the people who have never been in the tropics, here are he Coconut-Palm, a Banana-tree and a Bamboo-tree 4 stories high:

Until the next time again my dear friends, I will still be in Thailand; in Bangkok for my dental problems and to meet some friends.

And I want to thank you all for your very kind e-mails about my dear mothers health; I have a good feeling it will be alright and I will keep you informed on this place.

Please stay well you all and you will hear from me in another 10 days,

and I don’t want to make you jealous:

Stay well and take care,

René.

November 6^TH, 2009

And hello again from –today- a very cool day in the countryside. After a few days of around 40 degrees Celcius, it is now down to 29. I must admit that I even feel cold, although that temperature in Holland would be very uncomfortable.

The moment I am writing this, I am sitting in our restaurant between the ricefields.

“The Regional Police-Force” -which comes here for dinner every day- has just left.

I don’t have much respect for the Dutch police, but here it is some other story: every day about 8 of those disgusting people are here for 2 hours, eating and drinking a big bottle of Whiskey each.

And I am talking about 14.00 PM, each of them carrying a 9 mm gun in their pocket!!!

And it is better to keep them as friends, because they have a way of earning extra money which is used quite often in these places: for 20.000 Thai Bath, they will do something for you. When you woman or man goes ‘out’ with somebody else, or does something else wrong, just give them a call.

When you want somebody dead, you just contact them and for that amount (around 700 US Dollars), they arrange everything and the body will be ending somewhere in a ricefield; no questions asked….

So those are the government people who have to protect us.

Oké, Thaksin was and still is a thief of the first order, but the new prime-minister has still much to do.

Yes, this is the Third World.

Before I forget, it is “Steve Irwin Day” November 15^TH:

So we can celebrate the life of that very special man!

And that is what I just experienced 2 days a go here; although that was a funural.

When people die here, the “Buddist Life” sees that as they go to a better World. They may even be right about that….

This time it was an 88 year old family-member, so I had the honor to be in front of about 400 people to get the coffin to the temple.

One day later they burn the body and have that celebration:

Well, talking about experiences and celebrations, November 2^ND it was “Loy Krathong”, that is once a year when the Thai people make their own little ‘boat’ with flowers, candles and the sticks which you can see smoking on the picture above (sorry I don’t know the name).

In the evening everybody go sit on the edge of a river or lake, do their wishes and float the boat on the water.

It was too dark to make decent pictures of it, but I can tell you it is a beautiful sight!

In 2 days I will be on my way to Vietnam for 5 days, so I hope you can hold the e-mails because I don’t take my computer with me.

I now learned that the Delta of the Mekong is so large, that it covers the southern part of both Cambodia and Vietnam. I didn’t know that, but the place where the Mekong ends in the ocean is in Vietnam, so I expect to have some new pictures again after that holiday.

I also have a meeting in Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) with someone for a (maybe) new project.

Everything is going very well, I only hope you want to think about my dear 71 years mother who has diagnosed with cancer and has an operation tomorrow. I wished I was there with her.

Please take good care of yourself my dear friends, many good wishes from Thailand and I will be back writing on this place around the 16^TH or 17^TH, stay well,

René.

October 27^TH, 2009

Hello again my very dear friends.

Well, the internet is working fine (knock on wood), so no complains from this side.

Sorry to hear about the strike at the Royal Mail, but after 10 years, I can give my personal opinion, that the Royal English Mail is the most UN-reliable postal service in the Western World.

It would be good if another company could take the place with better service, no stealing people and slow delivery while the people in the postoffices lie about the time an envelope will be on its way.

I am very sorry to talk like this, but having many envelopes from England, I think I can give that opinion.

But no bad things about the UK, because I love the country and the people.

I want to make this post a “picture-post”, so not much words but just pictures.

So you can travel a bit with me.

The only problem is, that this page takes a very long time to load, so it is time for the New year, so I can start a new page for 2010.

First a picture of the view we had from our friends house in Wales:

The first week and the last week I was-am in Bangkok, so that is where we start.

I know that Bangkok has a very bad name because of child-abuse and drugs, but in all the years I have been there, I must honestly say that I never have seen anything about that. I know it happens in the “underworld”, but I am not a Saint and I have been to places the average tourist doesn’t go.

The first 5 pictures are Bangkok by day:

Every day at 6 PM they kind of “turn the light out”, like in all countries close to the Equator, it is a matter of a few minutes you have this view:

And after that the famous nightlife starts.

Bangkok is called the “Capitol City of the sex-industry”, well, Bangkok has about 9 million people and there are I think about a dozen streets (aria’s) where indeed it looks like this:

But I can assure you that 99% of Bangkok is a very peacefull place.

Oké, it is dirty, crowdy, smelly, on every street there is a traffic-jam, but I LOVE Bangkok, with its beautiful Temples, relaxing admosphere, Chinatown, beautiful girls, beautiful buildings, the Chao Praya River splitting it in two parts and ofcourse the famous “Klongs”, where you can have beautiful boat-rides, which most of the time are faster then the traffic on the streets.

Also I have to say it is one of the safest cities in The World, I feel completely safe.

After my first week in Bangkok, where I got already 4 new teeth, I went to my family in the village:

I can not find it on the map, but I think it should show on Google Earth.

My English friend and me opened a shop for our close family, a restaurant.

As we both want the people to learn to become self-supporting, which sttill is a Dream/Utopia, like in Africa, but the shop is going very good.

So we have almost the picture complete.

People who can not afford to put their children on school, work every now and then (for free) in that restaurant. Instead of getting paid, we give the children lessons on our school, because

WE DID IT !!!

I WANT TO PERSONALY DEDICATE THIS PROJECT –LIKE THE ONE IN UGANDA- TO YOU ALL WHO ARE USING MY SERVICE, THANK YOU OUT OF THE HEARTS OF ALL THESE CHILDREN AND PARENTS.

As we do with the restaurant, we also do it –for a part- with the ricefields; people with some money can rent a part and grow their own rice.

The other half is ours (the profit it makes is to pay the bills and teachers) and the parents help with the growing and harvest, which is this month here in Si Muang Mai.

So this dream came true for everybody:

Oké, it takes quite some arranging and time and patience, but to end this post I can tell you my life is not too bad when I show you my favorite places:

I will be here another 4 weeks, while my dear friends are doing a great job –also thanks to them we are able to do this-, after that I will be one more week in Bangkok to have two more teeth removed and the start of December I will get back to Holland for the holidays.

As you understand, Holland is far away for me now and I don’t hear much news, but what made me very happy, is that the people in the United Kingdom and the United States threw the radical, racist idiot dutch politician Geert Wilders out.

Now the best news would be that my own Holland would do the same, but it realy scares me that almost 20% of the dutch wants to vote for him.

Thailand is a good alternative when he would become our prime-minister after 2 years when we have elections; at least if he will live that long…….

I want to thank you all again and in about 10 days you will hear from me again, please stay well all and take care,

René.

October 19^TH, 2009

And a big hello from a cloudy, but warm Bangkok my dear friends.

A bit earlier, but I am now still sure with internet-access in Bangkok and in the coming 2 days I have 2 more appointments at the dentical clinic.

In the village it always depends on the weather. I CAN receive e-mails always, but sometimes I can not send. So when that happens, I will go to a city nearby twice a week to send the replies.

All the problems of the World seem so far away when I am here, I don’t know how to explain, but when you are in South-East Asia it seems the rest of the World is almost not there.

Ofcourse not a good thing, but we in the Western part of the World are a bit too busy with all the news; when somebody in Italy goes to the toilet, we know it already from CNN or BBC. While here in Thailand, people know what the King of Thailand is doing, but that is about it.

Seems a poor life, but “stress” is something what you don’t see or feel here.

Everything very well here, I have been to the dentist to take some more teeth out; the medicines which I need, also do their chemical destroying work.

In 3 days I will be at my second family again in the small village and see the progress of OUR school and the land we bought for the local people to grow rice.

Also thanks to you ALL !!!

It is good that President Obama is giving us more hope every day. He is right that he can not solve all problems, even in 8 years, but one beautiful day there will be a World without “rotten apples”, like Al Qaeda, Berlusconi, the Taliban, Mugabe, racists, the Ayatollah, suicide-bombers, dictators and all other terrorists.

This time I want to show you a man I realy admired –also because I am in his kind of “country”- , a man with his Australian charisma and personality and the love for animal and natures: Steve Irwin.

In all the past posts you already can read which people I also admire, but the death of Steve Irwin did the same with me as the death of my dear father and Ayrton Senna.

Steve made me visit places in Africa, Sri Lanka and ofcourse Asia.

Here are 4 video’s about him, my personal thanks for his life:

I will be careful here and I wish you all the best, there are no problems with the business, so please don’t worry about that.

Take good care of yourself and your loved ones, until next time, stay well,

René.

*************

October 11^TH, 2009

Almost ready to go my very dear friends!

But ofcourse first I want to congratulate President Obama !!!

I hope people from the United States see that the rest of the World see much more HOPE, after those destroying 8 years Bush.

This post is –again- my personal opinion, so it is totally alright if you don’t agree with me.

He solved the doubts that it is too soon for him to win the Nobel-Prize in his speech, that makes him almost perfect, also when he said he didn’t deserve it yet.

I want to share a few things with you all, my friends who read this page frequently, know me already quite a bit. Although I wished I could tell more, but you understand I have to be careful.

Sometimes I get an e-mail from someone, who calls me “black Pig”, or something like that, well, I am as white as a piece of paper, but I am happy they do that, because I would be ashamed of myself if I would call someone like that “friend”.

Also the Chris Kenoyer-ONLINEPOT-Idiot has come out of his dark grave again and is posting around the internet, but I can not be bothered; the only thing is that I wasted time on a leech. But when you search good; he is completely alone, while on –not only my pages- are many other pages with fool proof about him:

http://209.85.129.132/search?q=cache:36OReKHebh8J:www.temple420.org/

Back to the normal life again: I want to share some music with you, you will hear that they are all political songs. But that way you also know a bit more about how I am and think. Please don’t be angry if there is something you disagree with –I am just a human with an opinion:

This is just a small part of my favorites, but it hopefully gives you an idea.

Before I forget; I want to thank you for the very kind e-mails I receive from friends who accept how I live, without any jealousy, because they know the situation.

And I still have my things to do there, because when everything goes as I planned, the school in the small village will soon open the doors. I will ofcourse take some pictures and tell you all about it.

Don’t worry about anything; I will be answering all your e-mails –not every day- and I will be in contact daily with Holland to be sure everything will be alright.

Please check every now and then if there are dates above when I am not available for e-mails: sometimes we don’t have internet in the small village because of the weather and sometimes I will be in places where I know already I can not access the internet.

So when I know, I will write it above.

Ofcourse I will keep you informed on this place about what I have been doing and about – you know me- any special experiences.

I will try to avoid the snakes and ofcourse scorpions, and with my nine lifes I will be alright (although I already spent a few…).

So I will write here in about 10 days again, I wish you all a very good time and more important: good health!

Please take good care of yourself, I promise I will do the same.

When there is something important to tell, I will ofcourse write it here, stay well,

René.

October 6^TH, 2009

Back in Holland my dear friends!

My dear mother and me had a few very nice days in England and Wales.

Everything went ofcourse alright when I was away, so I can be relaxed going to Thailand next week.

I will try to write here one more time before I go, and after that I will ofcourse just keep posting here from the Far East.

So not much news, I am very tired at the moment; travelling is not good for me. But the days in England and Wales were very relaxing; exept a small accident when I was driving the car through Wales.

As you know I drive at the right side of the road in Holland for about 30 years, so when I wanted to park the car at the side of the road, I made a small mis-judgement and hit a small rock.

Well, nobody was injured and just material damage; we just had to change the tire and could move on. Only at the garage they shocked us with a 600 pounds damage report. Well; the best way to solve it, is get straight behind the wheel again, and for the rest it went alright.

The weather here in Holland is terrible; windy, rainy and cold, so you understand I look forward to be under my favorite Palm-tree again soon.

This week I will arrange everything, so the business will be running perfect when I am again away.

I hope you are all well, and you will hear from me on this place in about a week, stay well and take care,

René.

September 27^TH, 2009

Hello again my dear friends,

Well, I knew this news-page has a lot of visitors, but I realy didn’t know the influence and power…….

Flavio Briatore has been fired at Renault in the Formula 1; although I will miss that very special impressive personality. (And I give you my word that I didn’t knew anything about what happened when I wrote that!).

But what he did was unacceptable: ask one of your drivers to get an accident, so the other driver can win the race.

Also the ING-criminal-Bank decided not to advertise anymore next year in the Formula 1, they stopped last weekend already at Renault. The reason: because Renault was cheating!!!! The dear ING has received billions of Euro’s from our government tax money, because their greedy CEO’s were…..yes: cheating.

And I read something about Berlusconi, but I don’t want to burn my hand on that one, same as that other organisation I wrote about last week.

Well my friends, that was the funny part, although funny….

I received an e-mail from a very good friend, who was concerned about me talking about “not making it to 70 or even 60”, so I want to comfort you all.

My health is quite oké; but in a short time I had the foodpoisoning and the flu, so maybe that is why I thought about health and life a bit more.

But I have to accept my body is old after the operations and I have to live with that. I hope to be a 100, but I see people around me younger then me leaving this World.

So without being negative; I realy am enjoying my life and get as much out of it as I can.

I always will see the glass “half- full”, don't worry about that.

I didn't have any depressions for 2 years, so you understand that I am very happy with that, but I just have to take good care of my body.

And helping people is and always will be the goal of my life.

As you can read above, I already have some dates that I will not be behind the computer, so I thank you for holding your e-mails those days.

Tomorrow I will take my dear old mother to friends in the United Kingdom for a few days.

So we are looking forward to that ofcourse and have a good time.

As you know already, the business goes on as usual, so no worries about that.

The autumn has started, I realy hope nobody will get depressed of it; I always love the beautiful colors in the nature.

As you know, I will not see much of the autumn in Holland, because I will be in Thailand.

I don’t have much plans to do in the small village we live (in the south-east, next to Laos and Cambodia), but after answering your e-mails, ‘supervise’ over orders, supply and hear if everything goes well with ‘my’ service from my dear friends in Holland, I will have time to read books!

(And to be on “Twitter”, I just started there and will not spend much time, but if you want you can follow me there. I hope you can find me, but you can always send me a short e-mail to get the URL of my account.)

And I am sure I will have things to write about when I am there.

Ofcourse how everything goes in Holland, but I can tell you some things about Thailand and the surrounding countries.

My best (English) friend in that village owns almost everything there and helps me also with the projects.

Just an example: he lended money to the local government to bribe the local people to vote for him.

This can and will be shocking for many of you, but that is how it works in ALL African and many Asian countries!

Also that the Thai police is the Maffia of Thailand; they are the ones in charge of all the bad thing happening there. And also to blame that that beautiful country and its beautiful people has such a bad name.

So my very dear friends, nothing will change for you and I will always be there for you, stay well and take care,

René.

*************

September 19^TH, 2009

Hello my very dear friends, the moment I write this I have a remembering again, a personal one this time: today 2 years ago I was in the operating room and the wonderful doctors were fighting for my life.

Well, you all know I came through, although since that day my life has changed quite a bit.

But with the help of my best friends, my sight on life has changed also.

I only do the e-mails as you know and try to take it easy; just looking that everything with this service goes alright, because I still AM THE ONLY PERSON who takes FULL RESPONSIBILITY for this service!

I am sorry for some delayed orders, but my very good friend is out of the hospital, so that is the most important thing; and I thank you for your patience!

In 1 month I will go to my family in Thailand again, everything goes on as normal, so you would not even notice it when I didn’t tell.

But I want you all to know that I want to keep helping everybody, so this service stays in business for a very long time to come!

I will write here when I go and come back, so you know that answers on e-mails can take a day (or 2) longer.

But also when I am in Thailand, I will keep writing my ‘stories’ on this place.

I also will be in England again for 3 days within the coming weeks, and ofcourse I will write those dates above this page, so you know I will not be able to answer e-mail when I am there.

I want to thank you all for understanding my situation and how I live my life these days, but it is just the reality I will not make 70 or maybe not even 60. But in the 50 years on this World, I have seen and experienced already so very much, that when I get another 10 years, I will be very happy already.

I love the contacts with e-mail and that is what I always will keep on doing; not as fast as a few years ago, but still….

I realy have to control myself to NOT write about politics this time, because this is not realy a place for that.

Although many friends always love my comments, this time I leave Berlusconi, ING-Bank, Flavio Briatore and the Maffia in peace.

Quite difficult for me, but some of you may already see the link….

Another thing I will not (..) write about is the “outside smoking ban” they want to start in New York. A week ago I wrote that New York is one of the most tolerant cities in the World, and then they come with that idea…. I know the people of the Big Apple, so ofcourse it will be a bureaucratic thing, but it made me think about the terrible place of Singapore; like a prison. So lets hope somebody with a brain will stand up against it and see that we people can solve those problems without idiot laws from a government living on another planet.

Well my very dear friends, everything is very well on this side as you can read, and ofcourse I hope so much that everybody who reads this can say the same, stay well and take care,

René

September 11^TH, 2009

Like it was yesterday my very dear friends.

Although it has been 8 years ago today, it was one of the worst days in the history of humanity.

We will never forget:

I had to start with that dear friends.

Home sweet home, that is where I am again right now.

All orders that have been wating are in the mail, so there are also good things in the World.

My health is good, ofcourse I have the usual ‘yet-lag’, which shows me every time that my body is not how it should be.

Well, I am used to it, although a free day seems impossible for me.

I give it up on having sometimes a few days without e-mails.

I just started up the computer to see if there was something important when I arrived at home, and in 26 hours there were already 65 new e-mails, so to my dear friends who kept their e-mails; I thank you.

People who don’t bother to read this news-page just have to wait, I even just deleted some e-mails from people who should know that I was planning 4 free days.

And people who sent several e-mails because of a lack of patience, are blocked and can not contact me anymore.

My congratulations to New York.

400 Years ago a Henry Hudson –working for a Dutch company- discovered the island of Manhattan and the Dutch called it New Amsterdam.

The Dutch bought it from the Indians for 60 guilders, which would be about 30 dollars now….

The Dutch built a fort on the island of Manhattan and started a business in the skin of beavers (the animals…..).

I read that many people think that is why the Dutch roots makes the city of New York also one of the most tolerant cities in the World. Also the town of Albany has still a lot of Dutch roots.

That makes me very proud, because I love New York!

Also I have already heared that the Empire State Building is orange at the moment, which is the Royal Dutch color.

Although I must honestly tell you, that our Amsterdam is not the good old tolerant Amsterdam of 10 or 20 years ago anymore.

Sometimes I am proud about Holland (Shell, Philips, Heineken, tulips, windmails), but many people think about drugs and prostitution when they think about Holland. And ofcourse the racist politicians makes me very worried about MY country.

And I almost forgot the banking-criminals of the ABN-AMRO, Fortis and ING (every Formula-1 race I see the three letters ING and am ashamed of that Dutch criminal organisation).

But what makes me realy proud, is the mentality of many Dutch; when we don’t agree about something what an idiot political bureaucrate throws (up) out of his brain and makes a new law –like the non-smoking in bars- we just don’t listen.

Two more things which I just want to get out of my head, the first thing is, that Berlusconi thinks he is the best president of the World, although in my opinion he is the head of the Mafia and uses HIS Italy to become as rich as possible. He is exactly the same as president Mugabe of Zimbabwe, I feel so sorry that those people are alive.

The other thing is the “Taser”, which killed already 400 people in the USA. Here in Holland it is not used, even not by the police, which is good, because when I see the pictures from the United States ‘police-force’; it seems they like to use it….

So my very dear friends, life goes on again, but my answers on e-mails may sometimes take 2 or 3 days, that is how it will be from now on.

Until the next time dear friends, stay well and take care,

René.

*************

September 3^RD, 2009

And hello again my dear friends.

In a few days I will be back in my “home sweet home” in Holland, I will make sure that the delayed orders will be on their way as soon as possible and I want to thank you all for your patience.

The foodpoisening was over – I thought- but it came back and I spent 3 more days in bed and on the toilet; about 50-50% of the day…..

God knows what I ate in Cambodia, but for tourists it is almost lethal, that is for sure!

This time just a short note to let you know I am alright and ready for home, also to arrange everything to the normal way with your orders.

My thoughts go out to 2 icons we lost the last weeks: Walter Concrite and Ted Kennedy, when you are 50 they became almost a part of your life, and I am not even an American.

I will be back for you all on the 10^th, and then the orders will all be on their way already, because that will be my priority.

I wish you all a good weekend already and you will hear from me in about a week, stay well dear friends, and ofcourse take care,

René.

*************

August 26^TH, 2009

And I am back in the normal World again my dear friends!

I already started answering e-mails and I hope I can have all 400 answered today and tomorrow.

I came back from Cambodia yesterday-evening, with a food-poisoning which is almost over.

You may already know, I am not a average traveller; when I see a lizard, snake, or whatever, I try to catch it or get as close as possible, and when I see local food, I want to try it.

So its my own “silly me” who makes me pee out of my bottom for already 4 days………

Below are a few pictures, although you have to be there to feel what happened there.

I visited the Killing Fields:

and the most disgusting place I have ever seen in my life: the “Office S-21 torture TUOL SLENG -prison”:

That is the place where Pol Pot and his sick people tortured 3,5 million people (children, women, old people and anybody with any kind of education) to death.

Half of the population of Cambodia.

And remember that was only 30 years ago!

(Where was the useless U.N. again…..)

It has been an experience I will never forget; I cried.

Also I had one nice trip on the delta of the Mekong in Phnom Penh, where 4 rivers come together to make it the mighty River Mekong:

I also had a nice chat with an an American guy. I was wearing an old T-Shirt with a picture of the Bush-idiot holding a gun at his head and the words “Please save The World and kill yourself”.

He completely agreed and we talked about the mess Obama has to clean.

I am sorry to hear many Americans are doubting Obama because of a few doubtful decisions, but please know it would take Obama 20 years to build up what Bush destroyed.

When Bush would have been a normal person, he would be sitting crying in front of the mirror already half a year, but I suppose he walks proudly in his Rambo-way on his ranch in Texas.

I know I promised to never call his name anymore, but that was a very nice conversation, and I want to write it here, because I get many e-mails from friends who would totally agree what he all told me.

So now I am in Bangkok again, I wished I could work 8 hours a day to speed up evertything, although you know the orders are going out as normal back in Holland.

A friend of me and myself have decided to build a school in a small town near the border of Laos, so you can all be very proud of yourself.

You know all the money from this service goes to my projects.

I will go back to Holland September 8^TH, so around that time I will be slow with e-mails again, well, most of you are used to that by now.

And ofcourse here in Thailand I also will skip a day every now and then.

I will take good care of myself dear friends, I hope you also do that and I will try to write here one more time before my trip back home, please stay well and take care,

René.

*************

August 19^TH, 2009

Hello my very dear friends, I am still in the middle of the jungle, so I hope I will be able to get this on the WWW.

I receive e-mails fine, but sending is almost impossible, so I hope you want to be patient.

Two years ago today my dearest father died, so I will visit a Temple today.

My schedule is in 2 days I go to Bangkok for one day and the day after I will be in Phnom Phen for 2 days.

After that me and my Thai family will be in Bangkok for another 2 weeks.

So I hope I will be able to send some e-mails every now and that(3 at a time is about the maximum).

My finger is quite painful still, but I love to explore everything about animals and plants.

I am a little bit like my big hero Steve Irwin; when I see something moving, I want to know what it is.

So in the ricefields I will not walk without big boots, because it is realy crawling with Pythons and Cobra’s, the rest is just frogs, spiders and God knows what else I didn’t see yet.

Alright dear friends, I will take care of myself and you all please do the same, stay well,

René.

The beautiful view and my very good friend Ub: and it is a REAL picture! (he had an operation in the local hospital, so you can imagine I rather die then let those ‘doctors’ touch me), he can not talk, but understands everything, I ofcourse take care of him when I am here:

*************

August 12^TH, 2009

The last thing is make you jealous my dear friends.

But, again, I am sitting between the ricefiields along the side of the Mighty Mekong River.

That is why there were a few problems with the internet, the BIG RAIN is here and that means days without electricity an internet or even cellphone.

I had many supporting e-mails from you about the racist issue, thank you all very much for that.

Don’t worry, I am also aware that they are just the scum of the earth and not even worth talking about, so let them have a “nice life” pathetic ofcourse, but they know that themselves the best.

I try to write here soon again my dear friends, at the moment the internet is working, so I want to put this online.

Please take care of yourselves, I survived a Scorpion-bite with a few injections, so I feel fine.

Hear you soon, stay well and take care,

René.

**************

August 3^RD, 2009

Hello once again my very dear friends, this week I don’t have to tell much, accept that I am very alright and most of you know I live with a black African girl.

That is why I have to put what is below.

I received it yesterday from:

Bubba Brown:

lamerector@yahoo.com

I AM VERY EMBARRESED TO PUT IT HERE, BUT IT JUST SHOWS THERE ARE STILL VERY SICK PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET:

ain't many folks I can send this too and have them see it as funny.

Relax



Everyone

Just relax!
When was the last time
You heard of a black guy
Keeping a job for
4 years?

HOW SICK AND BRAINLESS CAN YOU BE ?????

The other 2 have to do with he guy I will not leave alone anymore:

***Hi. I'm a crohn's disease patient in the US who's been looking for
reliable mail order supplies.
I think I just got ripped off by a Chris Kenoyer scam, so I figured
that if he says you're a scam, you must be for real.
I am truly a pain patient -- not just looking to get high. And I can't afford to get scammed twice in a row. ***

*** menu please

I  just wanted to let you know,  we were friends about 7-8 years ago.   That chris kenoyers website helped me find you again.  I remembered your first name. and I couldn't remember your last.  It showed up on his site.   I remeber you as a compassionate man, and not like what he was saying about you.  Don't worry I don't believe him.  Thanks, … ***

That is enough for this time my dear friends, please take good cear of yourself and everybody aroung you, until next time, stay well and take care,

René

July 23^RD, 2009

And hello to you all again my very dear friends.

First of all, I forgot to celebrate my hero Nelson Mandela with his 91^st birthday! I hope he stays strong and makes it a hundreth or even more.

The mail from th UK has its yearly summer-problems, there is nothing I can do about it, but I hope my friends in England just file as many complains as possible.

It is not out of control, but I think when the Royal Mail steals 3 envelopes, that is already too much for me –a European company should be trustworthy.

Also the Airsure mail is a joke with their “arrival-confirmations”, so spending extra money for that is not very useful.

I have 3 lost envelopes, but I also have received 4 (!) envelopes without a name, address, e-mail or anything.

I am sorry, but I can’t do anything with that, it is not that I receive just one envelope a week or something like that.

By the way, my home-address is totaly safe, only the envelope arrive there and they are not even opened at that address.

For the rest there is nothing from this business in that house, no computers, no files, not a single joint (as you may know, I don’t smoke).

So everything is safe. I just wanted to tell that again.

I have some news which may shock you, although nothing will change with this service.

In about 2 years, I may go live in Thailand for 6 months a year; the other 6 months I will be in Holland.

As you may know Thailand is my favorite country and I have many friends living there and I need to think about my health to stay on this Planet for some more years.

The business will go on as it goes now, I do only the e-mails, which I also can do in Thailand.

My friends keep doing the rest like they do now and I already have a secure way to get the files to me; that is the first priority: to keep that safe.

But that is still a long time to go, so things still can change.

My life is quite good now; I can have my rest which my body needs and every day 3 hours answering e-mails is just enough for me; that is about the energy I have every day.

And ofcourse I keep you informed every 10 days on this place!

Sometimes a bit commenting about issues in The world; I love it!

So please don’t worry about anything, I will be doing this service and keep total control over it. In all the years I have found people around me (in Holland) who I completely trust.

I wish you all good health and I will be back on this place in about 10 days, meanwhile ofcourse I will be behind the computer for your questions and everything else, but please keep e-mails short and limited.

Stay well my dear friends, and take care as always,

René.

July 15^TH, 2009

Hello my very dear friends!

We know the climate is changing, and that is very bad, but to be honest; here in Holland we have some beautiful summers lately….

I know it is not a good thing to say, but as I am always cold, I think I was born in the wrong country.

And to make it up, here is Art Garfunkel:

But no complains; I had a very relaxing time, I could do some e-mails in between, just to keep you not waiting too long and to keep myself from getting stressed. Not everybody reads this news-page and new friends may think this is a big business and 24 hours a day, 7 days a week available.

Indeed the orders always go on, but the e-mail-part is just a “one-person”- part, and that will be me.

Everything is very fine with me and the people around me, so I wish it is also the same with all of you out there.

There is not much news from this end, everything is running smoothly and exept the slow mail (as usual), about 98 % of all envelopes arrive safe at your end and 99% of your envelopes arrive here safely.

There are no special problems, and a lost envelope is just something we have to except every now and than. But in that case you know I always do my best to solve it.

So lets all enjoy the fine weather and I will write here again in a week or 10 days.

And ofcourse earlier when there is any important news.

I wish you all well, until the next time and take good care of yourselves, this time no politics or other comments from me; that must be a relief for some people….

Although I would love to give some comments about Silvio Berlusconi and his dictatorship; maybe he can buy a nice country in Africa soon. Well, that should be enough….

Stay well and take care,

René.

****************

July 5^TH, 2009

And hello again my very dear friends.

Full summer here, so in a few days I will be away again for a while. Most of you already put it in their agenda I hope…..

What I forgot to write last time, is that people who are Full-Time Ill, don’t have a choice.

People with a Full-Time job can decide to take a Part-Time Job; that is something which is impossible for the Ill people; they have no choice!

For ALL ILL people in The World, I have the greatest respect!

They know how to fight and use their energy to get better, and to be proud of themselves and keep their pride and dignity, instead of wasting time by harming other people:

(There is only ONE rotten apple (Chris Kenoyer ofcourse) between the Full-time Ill people, who has never heared about pride or dignity. He could be the only reason if I would ever consider to stop with this service).

I think I have to tell this every now and than: on this place I just give my very personal opinion, remember I used to write a weekly column in a newspaper here in Holland, so I can be hard sometimes; but also honest, which is more important I think.

I have so many other opinions, which I can’t write here.

Not that it would hurt people, but please understand that I live in Holland and we have quite –sometimes crazy- liberal thoughts about life and The World….

One thing which is maybe on the edge, but I am realy scared something will happen to Barack Obama; he is doing so well for the whole World.

And as most people know, but don’t dare to say: I am not afraid to tell: the CIA and FBI are the biggest criminal organizations on this Planet.

Like the president of the DEA said in a documentary: “We don’t make the laws, we just follow them”. For me, that is the same as saying: “We don’t have a brain ourselves”.

One big load of bureaucrates who live on a completely different Planet than we normal people do.

Anyway, everybody here is ready for the business without me for a while and I will ofcourse write here again as soon as I am back to answer your e-mails.

I wish you all good health, take good care and be well, until the next time,

René.

June 27^TH, 2009

“Being Fulltime Ill”; that was the word a good friend wrote last week in her e-mail.

Hello my very dear friends, everything is very good with me, 2 “bright” brains were worried I am funding the Taliban because they read something about that from the –still alive and free- Onlinepot-idiot.

Well, I don’t even bother reply on that anymore.

We lost two very special people this week.

I must be honest that –although he made beautiful music- I have never been a fan of Michael Jackson. I didn’t like someone who was born “black”, wanted to be a “white” person.

Be PROUD of your color and race, and that is for ALL races and colors!

I am very sorry for his big fans, but please remember this is just my humble personal opinion, no need at all to agree with it.

What annoyed me, was that everybody forgot another beautiful person: Farrah Fawcett. So this is for her!

I started this post with “Fulltime- Ill”.

It woke me up, I have my history of being ill and many of you are Fulltime-Ill. There should be a more decent word for it in English, but it made me think that this should be a normal word.

Being ill is a JOB, and it is by far the most difficult, hard and terrible job there is on this Planet.

There are so many people who have a fulltime job, and they are ofcourse proud of that. But what many people don’t realize is, that there are so many people struggling with all kinds of disabilities while those other people just seeing them laying in bed “doing nothing”.

We have to change that dear friends, because my ill friends are the strongest people in The World; they are fighting to stay alive, or fighting to get better.

So to all the people who read this and don’t have any medical problems, I would say: “have great respect for the ill people around you, your life may look difficult because the stockmarket or the currency goes down, or that your house is worth less, or because you can not pay a bill, or whatever. But THOSE people would LOVE to change their lives with you!”

And except Chris Kenoyer, THEY are not hurting anybody.

Well my very dear friends, that was something what I wanted to share with you.

I could talk about the politics in Holland, Iran, Pakistan, Irak, Afghanistan, Thailand, North-Korea, Israel, England, or about the banks. But all those things don’t seem to be worth writing about when you put what I wrote above in your mind.

This World should be about people, not money or politics.

And all I can say is, that I admire President Barack Obama already so very much: he should be the example for 99% of all other World-leaders.

For me he is already in the same list as for example Nelson Mandela, the Dalai Lama and Mahatma Ghandi!

I hope you are all doing good my dear friends, we are enjoying a few days away every now and than, so I want to thank you very much for the patience with me answering e-mails.

Please take good care of yourself; because people who can not take care of themselves, can not take care of others.

Until the next time, stay well and take care,

René.

****************

June 19^TH, 2009

YES !!!!!

I made it to 50 my dear friends, that was something nobody would believe 1 ½ years ago.

For me it is just a number (although “half a century” sounds a bit scary), but also another milestone with my medical history.

And when I think about the past “half century”, I realize why I love cats so much.

They say cats have seven lives, and when I think about the car-wrecks, the storm and the giant tree that fell down 10 meters from me, the operations and the coma, almost frozen to death after a fall in a park: I think I have to be careful, as I probably have used already 6 six of those lives…..

I want to thank you all very much for thinking about me, cards, e-mails and e-cards; they all did me very good.

So life goes on and I hope to be around a bit longer, as I feel I still have things to do.

And as THE BUDDHA says: “There is no way to happiness, HAPPINESS IS THE WAY”.

There must be a lot of talking about my service around the internet, which gives me quite more friends. So that is good news, but as my old friends already know; please keep e-mails as short and limited as possible.

My friends are handling everything very fine, but I want to keep the communication-part for myself to stay in touch with you all, and to solve problems or to be there when someone needs me.

That will always stay my part of this service, but sometimes I have days that I can’t get my e-mail box empty…. Ofcourse a luxury-problem, but you know my energy situation.

I hope you are all enjoying the summer as we are doing here in Holland, I wish you all good health and you will ofcourse hear from me in about 10 days, stay well and take care,

René.

****************

June 9^TH, 2009

And hello to you all again my very dear friends.

I am sorry I didn’t have internet-access for 5 days, I tried my best but I have been in the United Kingdom for a few days to visit friends who I know from Thailand.

So this Wednesday-evening all e-mails will be answered and I apologise for the delay.

I was in Birmingham, Shrewsbury and I visited someone in Tenby; a beautiful old town in the south of Wales.

The weather was not very good, but the tour with my friend along the coastline of Pembroke was beautiful.

I was very sad to see that the economical crisis has hit the UK and Wales much more than we have it in Holland, I realy hope it will get better.

Everything is good with me, although the travel –I think we drove about 700 miles- was quite tiresome for me.

But don’t worry; I realy enjoyed it.

So this is just a short message this time, because I want to answer your e-mails.

As you know, the orders are always done; even when I am not around.

I have found another realy good and trustable friend who is also going to help me, so I will end up doing only the e-mails.

I am always someone who wants to answer every e-mail the same day, but also that I have to change.

In a week I will be 50; my brain is still quite good –except my short-term memory- buy my body feels like a 70 year old.

So from now on I will answer e-mails within 1 and 3 days, I realy hope you accept that, because I can not handle the stress anymore that I HAVE TO put the computer on 365 days a year.

Most of you know it already, but for new friends it is told in the menu I sent them.

(And for a few friends who don’t accept it, there is just an easy way to look for another place.)

So on this side of the computer is a happy man, we are able to go on supporting all the children in Africa because the business is going very well.

So I am proud and I want to thank you all for staying with me.

I wish you all very good days and I will ofcourse be back writing here in a week or 10 days, please take good care of yourself, stay well,

René.

****************

May 31^ST, 2009

Well, it is not 10 days since my last post yet my dear friends, but before I take a quiet time the coming week, I wanted to write here to have you updated.

The last 3 weeks I had many complains about the slow mail. I should have written it on this place, but May is a month with many holidays here in Holland, also because of the war (remembering the victims and celebrating our freedom).

And again this Monday we have another holiday.

So as the holiday-season is starting now, we have to think about that again.

It should not be an excuse, but the mail is the only thing I don’t have any control in, so we both have to hope for the best.

I hope summer is also starting at your places –sorry for my Australian friends- and you are looking forward to a holiday or at least some nice things to do.

Everything looks alright in most of the countries in The World where I send envelopes to. (I have to count them one day).

I only hope for my South Korean friends everything will stay oké.

I would not be very happy with an idiot country like North Korea north of me, and than further north even another sick country (China).

And my excuses for my friends from Hong Kong, but I personaly see that not as China. (I know how wrong I am).

It must give everybody on this Planet a safe feeling that Obama is President of the USA now; imagine that other fool was still there….

I hope most of you the coming week want to wait with e-mails, as I will not be online every day.

Our little, humble service is going very good, and without the help of my dear friends here in Holland, I would not be able to run this anymore.

I have learned to listen to my body and it works very fine with the rest I take every now and than.

The only thing left for me, is the FULL responsibility for everything, and the communication.

I can honestly tell that I never stole 1 single euro or dollar from anyone. I do this with my home-address, where my sweet Aisha and my sweet 3 cats live; and I never had any trouble. I can look in the mirror and feel that I do my very best.

This service is my “baby”, I know it can go on without me, but I always will be involved for as long as I live.

And ofcourse I remember MELANIE, the girl I met via the internet and made me start this in 1999.

As Melanie, I have many friends who are not in this life anymore.

Like we lost our dear KC two weeks ago.

I know my prices are high, but everyone on the internet is free to look for cheaper places.

And what YOU and ME are doing with this business is also help others.

And I keep doing it because of e-mails like this; the last e-mail I received from KC:

Hello My Dear Friend,

It is KC. I can't talk long,but I have had something on my mind ever since I read your reply the other day.

Rene you said you wish there was more you could do for me. I want you to know something my dear friend.The things that you sent to me have helped with pain and things like that and I am grateful, but that is not the most important thing!

Rene I want you to know you have done for me the most that anyone could have done and I want you to know and remember this You did and gave the greatest thing that any person has to give and as much as the other things helped.The thing that you gave me that is most precious to me is your FRIENDSHIP That I will always have

Well I have to go now Thank You

Most of all for being my Friend!!

KC.

I wish you all very good days and again please stay well and be safe.

And be careful in this World, where we have some strange people walking around sometimes, take care,

René.

May 23^RD, 2009

Hello again my dear friends, everything very fine here.

Ofcourse still very disappointed that the “Chris-Annoyer- Kennoyer (Murdock) ONLINEPOT-A-Team” has still not been able to visit me.

Maybe their TomTom is broken, so they have a problem; with nó brain AND no TomTom you are lost in our gigantic Holland…….

But on the other hand: a REAL person: The Dalai Lama is coming to Holland !!!

As written above; I am going to try to see that wonderful Human Being. Just a glimp of that man would make me already very happy and proud as I admire him as I do with Nelson Mandela.

Also I am going to visit a very ill friend of me, who needs some support, so I may be not answering your e-mails on the ‘fast’ way you are used from me. It might even take a few days, so please be patient.

My American friends can be very proud of their new President, I just bought a T-shirt with the face of Obama and the word: “Progress”.

That says it all.

Our prime-minister Balkenende is realy terrible: he doesn’t want to meet the Dalai Lama because he is afraid the “good” relationship between Holland and China may be damaged…… As far as I am concenrned, China is not even there.

So I wrote him a letter:

“Dear Balkenende; you terrible soft egg !! You are afraid of a backwards and sick regime, while you have the opportunity to meet one of the most beautiful people in The World.

Shame on you”.

Take care my dear friends, I will try to be quiet here for a day or 10, stay well and take care, thank you all for your support and friendship,

René.

May 18^TH, 2009

Hello my dear friends,

Because I feel some people worry about me, I just want to write a short message that everything is going very good with me.

The sailing was nice for 2 days, but the rain made us go back home a bit sooner.

There will be more days to go sailing in the coming summer.

It didn’t realy work that I put on this place when I am not behind the computer for e few days, so I will leave it.

Ofcourse I will always put it here when I plan to be away a few days, but I have to accept that there are plenty of e-mails to look forward to when I come home….

I have a standard e-mail ready for friends who want to report the Chris-guy for which I want to warn everybody.

It has 4 addresses of him and all the details from him and his OnlinePot- SCAM.

So everybody who is interested can e-mail me.

There are just 2 things I want to be sure of:

When you report him to any enforcement or something like that, be sure YOU or ME can not get into trouble.

The second thing I want is that nobody WILL HARM him in any way. He is a very sick man, and he just has to stop his e-mail-terror and idiot stories.

(He is already 4 days in Holland and knows everything about me………. He has pictures of the people who waited for him at the airport, well, they were waiting in my house……. His teams are ready to “kill” me already a week: Holland is about 150 miles wide and 200 miles long, so where are they……….?)

So if you did, please don’t worry anymore, just see and read how mentally ill he is and it is not safe to have someone like that walking on the streets.

A big Hello to all of you and I wish you all a good week and better weather than we have here in Holland at the moment, until next time dear friends, take care,

René.

May 13^TH, 2009

And hello again my dear friends, first of all I want you to know everything is good with me.

The SWAT (A)-team of Chris (Murdock) missed their plane I suppose, so I didn't see any machine-guns. (Or B.A. was afraid to fly).

As expected, people have been waiting in my house for nothing, life goes on as normal.
But people are going to help Chris.

One of my friends told me she was even scared he could go out and harm other people.

He is one of those people who can take a gun and kill innocent people on the street, just out of frustration.

She read his e-mails and pages and realized he is against everything; his blacklists, his boycotts…

He seems to hate the whole World.

I realy hope when someone from any organisation reads his webpages, they will also go look for him.

This is a warning from me that he can be a potential “Columbine-idiot”.

What he is bluffing about (10.000+ webpages, millions+ visitors, his "war-heroes"-contacts) is his mental problem.

I guess he has just a few hundreth visitors a month because I have not received one single e-mail about his pages. I also doubt if he has any friends.

The thing is, that there are some very angry friends of me in Amsterdam.
So I can not keep them calm anymore.

They have 3 addresses of him and the fake one for his fake plane-ticket. So I will give the green light to my friends and they already have contacts with
a private investigator.

I am realy feeling terrible about this, because it is just a sick, pathetic guy, living from other people's money.

He will have 2 options when my friends found him: I only tell the best one for him: "He will go into a clinic for mental help".

This is all I am going to write about him; I don't spend time on him anymore.

I can not take the responsibility of what my friends will do, but I told them to NOT hurt him, you all have my word. I just want help for him.

Again I am so very sorry for him and I would personally leave him alone. But because he is scaring friends of me with his stupid e-mails, something has to be done (I don’t care what he does to me, because he can not hurt me anymore).

So for me the issue is done, business is going on as normal and I will enjoy my free days.
You know I will not be answering e-mails the coming 4 days and on monday I will be back home for you all.

I will write here again in a day or 10, I wasted already way too much time the last posts.

I hope you want to pray for our dearest friend KC, who has given up his
fight against cancer; he did not get the chance to see his first
granddaugher. But he will be in a much better place.

Two more things: Please all be safe with the Mexican Flew; lets hope the worst part is over.

And to the Swedish government I would say: please let those parents call their son “Q”, what a great caracter that was in the James Bond movies!

Take care dear friends, be good to everybody and you will be rewarded for that, stay well

René.

UPDATED PAGE ABOUT CHRIS:

http://www.dutchfreedom.com/chris.htm

Hello my very dear friends.

Well, the good thing is that you hear more often from me than 3 times a month.

There is nothing to worry about anything, because I have quite some contacts as you will understand.

I will never use them though.

But if you have some spare time to waste, you can read the updated page about Chris OLP, and ofcourse have a good laugh.

I just copied and pasted a few e-mails he is sending around.

A guy living from gifts of people already for 1o years, a real leech.

But also a very sick man who needs help and should live in a mental clinic.

You all know that I am a very soft-hearted man, but I have people around me.

Like the people I get the supplies from, who are not very happy with Chris.

I keep those people in control and told them to wait until doing anything.

So I will give this 10 days and I will write here again as soon as I am back from my few days away. You know I am not going away because of this, because it was already arranged 2 months ago.

So everything is ONLY up to Chris.

Please my dear friends; don’t waste any energy on him.

In ten days I will decide what I will let my friends do.

And please understand that I don’t like doing this, but in those 10 years, I think he stole enough money from others.

As I write this, I can not even remember hearing ONE positive thing about him….

Hear you againafter a few days sailing my dear friends, don’t worry about me, my best friend and neighbour is a policeman and he knows about what I do, Chris isonly good in manipulating everything, so nothing is real.

Enjoy your weekend dear friends, we are going on as normal, so I thank you all, stay well and take care, I write here again in 1o days, no doubt about that,

René.

May 3^RD, 2009

Just to keep you updated about the last news from Holland my dear friends.

You may have heared about the man who tried to drive his car into the bus of the Royal family on our Queens Day last Thursday.

Six people and that maniac (security-man…) died and one of the biggest holidays of the year in Holland was destroyed.

On the other hand we have to realize that in our western World, with the stress, bureaucratics and the sometimes unfriendly way how people are; a ‘weak’ person can turn into a killer. We have seen that with the shootings on the schools.

It was no terrorist-attack, just a very stressed and frustrated man, but ofcourse still he took 6 lives with him.

Today I got a perfect example of how very weak people can make their and other’s lives so (uselessly) difficult.

You know I try to get rid of that idiot CHRIS KENOYER from ONLINEPOT already a long time, but today he sent me this kind e-mail with his e-mailaddress olpwebs@yahoo.com

Don’t bother too much to e-mail him, as he doesn’t answer e-mails when he can not make money with it and I suppose his brain is not too well:

“Rene,
You are being investigated by Interpol. Be advised there are people in
Holland that are interested. My close friend Deng has advised us location.
Radio Netherlands is developing a story on Rene P\\\'s worldwide scam.”

So I suppose I will put the warning for his webpage on my sites again:

WARNING: ALWAYS AVOID THE WEBPAGE OF CHRIS KENOYER :

WHEN YOU DON’T PAY HIM MONEY TO BE ON HIS SITE, HE BLACKLISTS YOU (HE HAS MY FULL NAME ON HIS SITE, JUST TO TRY TO GET ME INTO TROUBLE

Some people are in need of professional help, and that guy is definately one of them.

When you can ‘seriously write (and make up) an e-mail like that, than you all know what value his webpage ONLINEPOT has.

No problems at all my dear friends, I feel just very sorry for this poor sick guy, but sometimes people push my limits.

Until next time my dear friends, stay well and take care,

René.

April 29^TH, 2009

And hello to you all again my very dear friends.

First of all, everything is going very fine with me and the humble service.

We are enjoying the beautiful weather here and lets hope it will be a good summer this year.

(Well, it should be, because our factories and we personaly are doing our very best with driving our cars and changing the climate….)

I want to apologize to my Australian friends, that I didn’t think of them when I am talking about summer/winter.

It is just that over 98% of you all are living above the equator, while in the southern part of this beautiful Planet the winter is starting, I didn’t realize that.

I thank you for your funny comments about what I wrote about the pirates in Somalia.

It is just my simple way of thinking, (I always write these comments in about 10 minutes, so what is in my mind at that moment, is written down here).

Like now: I read that a doctor says he can clone a human being, a very scary thought by the way.

But we have already about 6 billion of those walking around on Mother Earth, so I would think about some kinds of animals which are dying out. Why people don’t try to clone a fewthousand Panda’s or Urang Utans, so they will stay on this planet and the Japs can go on killing the Whales for their “so called” science-projects.

As I promised you, I am never writing down his name here anymore, but with President Obama, the United States can be so proud again. What he changed in about 100 days is already beautiful.

And that other idiot (without name) from Texas which was in the White House for the last 8 years destroyed so very much; how can he (and his mates) still look in the mirror without feeling embarrassed. It would have taken him 200 years to achieve what Obama did in those 100 days –IF he ever would have achieved it.

Here in Holland we are all wishing we could have elections to get rid of our government, which also is making our country an oldfashioned, unfriendly and un-tolerant country, it is realy not the beautiful friendly country I used to love and be proud of.

So there are a lot of things still to hope for, and that is what keeps me going and I hope many of you all with me.

I wish you all a very good time my dear friends, stay healthy when you are, and I wish you all the health if you are struggling, take care dear friends,

René.

**************

April 18^TH, 2009

Hello my very dear friends, here we are again.

It realy seems the economy is getting a bit better, so lets hope it will keep going this way.

Thank you for your e-mails to offer help to my 2 very dear friends.

So far we didn’t find anyone close to them, so we keep hoping.

They are already too tired to just e-mail, so it is realy something for people who live close enough to visit them.

Everything is oké here, some orders were delayed a little, but you all know that hurry is not a word we need in this business.

There is not much to tell this week, although I just want to say something about those pirates from Somalia.

These days they can kill a mouse from 1000 miles distance, so why they don’t put one Stealth Fighter in Mumbassa to just blow those thiefs out of the sea? I realy can not understand.

Also, all the ships passing that route should have a rocket launcher for the same reason, its no problem to blow pirates up. (No, they are not human beings; when you steal what is not yours, you should not be part of this World).

And again: the United Nations??? They sleep well I suppose, looking at their bankacounts growing.

I hope you are all ready for the summer, and I must thank you all for understanding to keep the e-mail to a minimum and always stay updated on this place, thank you realy very much for that.

Until the next time my dear friends, stay well and take good care of yourself and others,

René..

April 9^TH , 2009

Hello again my very dear friends.

Back safe at home again, after a good relaxing holiday.

For the Formula 1 race it was too bad they had to stop it.

I have been in Asia many times, so I have seen “real” rain and I also hoped for rain during the race, but this was what they call: “The Big Rain”. The roof over our head was hit by lightning and in 10 minutes there was as much rain as we get in Holland in one month.

So it was a wise decision to stop the race, because I don’t want deathly accidents; and that was going to happen if they restarted the race.

But anyway, I had a wonderful time in Malaysia, 2 days Formula 1, Chinatown, the Petronas Twin Towers, the KL Tower and the “Beach Club……”

PETRONAS TWIN TOWERS

FROM THE SKY-BRIDGE

KL- TOWER

FROM THEKL-TOWER

STILL DRY

AND THAT IS RAIN !!

CHINA-TOWN

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST; LOOK VERY GOODAND SEE WHO TOOK THIS PICTURE….

************

But you – as a very good friend who regulary reads this page, found out that I was quite disappointed that I seem not to be able to have a free week, or not even one free day.

I must be honest that I was –and still am- a little tired to run this business.

As you all know, I have a lot of help. But I am the one responsible for everything and I am the ONLY one who does the e-mails.

When I take one day free, it is not a problem, than I have 120 e-mails instead of 60.

And when I take one week free, I can send the menu and address, but as you understand (safety first) I don’t have any files on a wireless laptop, so I simply can not answer questions. And the other thing is that some people think I am behind the computer 24 hours a day.

So that is why the new rule will start the coming time.

I will try to write at least one or 2 weeks before I decide to take 2 free days or more, always in RED ABOVE THE LAST MESSAGE I WROTE HERE.

I don’t blame new customers, but friends who know about my physical situation and still don’t get it –and still send me e-mails- are blocked and can not order anymore.

I had to make this decision to keep going on with this service, I am realy very sorry to sound so rude, but I hope many of you understand.

In every e-mail I send these days, it is explained that BEFORE you want to send me an e-mail; please take 1 minute of your time –for me- to see if I am there. It will still be there much more than 300 days a year, but at least it gives me some space.

And as you already know, you can send orders, because that business goes on 365 days a year.

This is an e-mail what I mean with friends I don’t need:

WELL RENE,  I GUESS I NEED TO FIND ANOTHER COMPASSION CENTER AS NOW
I AM BEING TREATED LIKE A NEW CUSTOMER INSTEAD OF YOUR CUSTOMER !!
 WHAT'S THE DEAL HERE ?

Quickly to some better news: we have now 99% of all envelopes arriving; it seems my friends are doing a good job! Only Australia seems to be difficult.

That was all for now my dear friends, I hope you like the pictures, until next time.

AND I WISH YOU ALL VERY HAPPY EASTER HOLIDAYS !!!!

Stay well and take care,

René.

**************

April 4^TH , 2009, one week holiday….

Well my dear friends, I tried to get a free week, but it doesn’t seem to work.

The above notice about the first week of april I am on holiday was written here 4 weeks ago already.

For new friends I can understand they don’t read everything, but for old friends who still don’t respect that I sometimes take a few free days, and don’t take the time to read the news-page before they send me an e-mail, my policy is going to change.

Because my service was again starting to get busier as I wanted, I have to stop taking orders from people who don’t read the news-page before sending me an e-mail.

For my dear friends, who take the time to see how I am doing; thank you very much!

I have bought a web and walk stick, so I will just do the e-mail as normal, but in the standard e-mails I will put the above message, I don’t like it, but from now on it has to be a “rule”, people who don’t accept it can not make orders at my service and have to look for another place.

For all my respected good friends; I try to make as much as I can on this holiday and I wish you well, until the next time, stay well and take care,

René.

**************

March 30^TH, 2009

Well my very dear friends, tomorrow I will be in the plane to Asia. At last!

I wanted to visit the first night-race of the Formula 1 last year in Singapore, but my doctors didn’t think it was responsible yet, so now my time has come again!

I want to thank you for all your kind e-mails, wishing me a very good holiday; I am so happy that you are all happy for me.

No single e-mail that I do it with money from this service.

But I think many of you know already my family has money, and that the money from this service goes to projects in Africa and Asia.

I think I told it before, but every evening about 200 orphans and children with aids have a warm meal because of you all!

So I am packing while my friends keep this service running while I am gone, you will all read about it next time. Maybe I will put some pictures.

I realy hope my body will get through this test, because that will be another milestone in my life.

The past months I have had some very good friends who were in a very bad situation, a few still are.

So I have been in touch with them on a daily base and “talked” them through the winter, some of them feel already better because of the spring, so I hope you all want to think about, and pray for my other friends who are still in a bad situation.

I will write here again when I am home, within 2 weeks, I wish you all a good beginning of the spring and I thank you all again.

As soon as I have internet, I will answer e-mails again. You already know the “on its way e-mails” are sent from a different address by my best friend. I am the only one who receives the replies.

Until soon my dear friends, please take good care of yourself and everybody around you, stay well and take care,

René.

 **************

March 21^ST, 2009

And hello to you all again my dear friends, wishing you a good weekend.

Well, we have the spring starting here a bit, so people are getting out of their dips and the birds are singing again: life is starting again after the winter.

This week I even saw the 2 pigeons again looking in my bamboo-tree, where they nested last year and grew 2 baby-birds. So I am happy they returned.

Not much news from this side, ofcourse I am looking very much forward to my trip and I hope my energy will be enough to make it a beautiful week.

I am so much indoors, that it will be wonderful to take a walk through Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur where my hotel is.

And ofcourse the race-weekend, with the beautiful sound and smell of the Formula 1 cars.

I just want to mention 3 beautiful persons I have been thinking of this week:

The Dalai Lama, –in my eyes is one of the most peaceful people in this World- who tells the truth about the terrible chinese government, personally I see China in the same “backwards” position as Iran, North Korea, Yemen, Sudan, Pakistan and a few other countries.

And talking about Peace: 40 Years ago John Lennon and Yoko Ono had their wedding-days in the Amsterdam Hilton. I was only 10 that time, so I don’t remember much of it, but when I see the pictures, it still does a lot to me.

How this beautiful man could be killed 28 years ago already -I was in New York that time; The man who wrote the most beautiful song ever (Imagine), had so many other things he could have done if he was alive still.

The third person which I respect is President Obama, who stands up against the GREED of the people who shamelessly took their bonuses after destroying whole companies.

I heared a good new name for A.I.G.: “Arrogance, Incompetence and Greed”.

All our “egg”-prime-minister Balkenende tells the dutch tax-payers is, there is nothing he can do about it.

And we also have some of those sick companies, like ING, ABN-AMRO and FORTIS. Making themselves rich with tax-money.

It is a relief to read that there are also other companies, who take back the bonuses, like SHELL and PHILIPS.

Good there are still companies with people who have DIGNATY.

You will hear from me again the end of this month my dear friends, just before I go on my trip.

I hope you all remember to keep e-mails until after april 8^TH, thanks already.

Stay well and take care,

René.

**************

March 12^TH, 2009

It is good to see the dollar and the pound are going up the last weeks my dear friends.

I think that is a good thing to start with, because that makes us all happy.

What doesn’t make me happy, is that I read a Poll about our dutch politicians.

Geert Wilders and his idiot friends-party (Party For Freedom) are the biggest when there would be elections now.

Thank God it takes 2 more years before the elections, so I hope about a million dutch people will grow a brain soon.

But it realy scares me, because I would be very ashamed to call myself Dutch when that “white-head” would become our prime-minister.

(It is realy the same feeling what many Americans had the past 8 years).

The only thing he does is shout against muslims, which gives him many supporters. But for the rest he has realy no idea about anything.

His brain is realy one big air-bubble.

I know many of you like to read my opinion about Holland and what is going on here, but I hate to say that the old Holland is no more. The free and accepting, liberal and friendly Holland is changed in the past years.

Ofcourse we have to thank the government for that, with prime-minister Balkenende.

And that is ofcourse also the reason that people like Wilders are getting chances, we realy NEED a new government.

But not an extreme, racist one; that would not be my Holland anymore.

Ofcourse the same problems are in other countries; when you hear about the shootings on the school in Germany or the shootings in the USA, it shows how unhappy people are these days. You can not blame everything on governments, but when you read about the “big-money-greeders”, I blame them. And ofcourse the banks and insurance-companies, who make normal people who have money-problems sick with their very bad example.

We here in Europe are very happy with President Obama, he already made very good decisions to get America back into the 21^st century and I realy hope most of my friends agree with me. (Ofcourse this is my personal opinion on this page, so you don’t HAVE to agree with me).

Just to let you all know about my holiday in 2 1/2 weeks; I have a good friend in Malaysia who invited me for the Formula 1 race on april 5^th, so you understand that will be a very special week for me.

I already know it will take much energy for my old and damaged body, but it is a wish for me coming true.

So I look very much forward to it and I am totally confident that this service goes on normaly without me. Only the e-mail, could be a problem for that week.

So my dear friends, there is a happy man on the other side of your computer, how my life changed in 18 months!

I realy wish that it will give many of you hope; that how hard your life can be at this moment, everything is possible to come back and have a good life again, even with some limits in what you can do.

Please stay well and take care of yourself and as many others as possible, I will write here 2 more times before my trip,

René.

**************

March 2^ND, 2009

And hello again my dear friends.

Well, about a year ago I warned you all for the Dutch idiot Geert Wilders with his totaly useless movie against the Islam, but he realy seems to have a deathwish.

The United Kingdom threw him out, but as my American friends may know, he was welcome there.

Please know that all Dutch people with a normal brain are totaly against him; the only thing he wants is trying to put people with different religions against eachother.

Here in Holland we had a big laugh about him, but now he is trying it in other countries, so be prepared for some realy senseless talking.

Well, Holland made CNN with it, and ofcourse also with the plane-crash.

Not realy the way we want to be in the news....

Everything goes perfect with the business, and much more good news is that I am without depressions already about 1 ½ years!

So for all my friends who still suffer from it; there is always hope!

I feel good, but after that Turkish airplane almost crashed in my backyard, I started thinking what would happen if something goes wrong with me, like 1 ½ years ago, or worse.

That is why I wrote at the top of this page what will happen.

As some of you may have found out, I give my old friend Chris from OLP a bit more attention, I am even advertising for him (for free, something he never heared of).

As long as my full name is on his page, I will keep advertising it, because I am now also convinced HE is the real scammer, begging for money, his “million-hits” per day stories, and he is everything: patient, doctor, laywer, whatever.

He accuses people for everything, while HE is the one doing it!

The only thing he has to do is delete my name, HE or someone else has to tell me when he did that (because I am not bothered to visit his pages) and I will also delete all the info about him from my sites.

As you can also read above this message; I keep thinking about my health, so I will be able to stay on this Planet for a long time to come.

You all know by now that everything goes on as normal; only the e-mails will be delayed.

Wishing you all a good week and all the best, please take good care of yourself,

René.

**************

February 23^RD, 2009

Yes my dear friends, I am back from a few days rest, so I hope I already answered your e-mail or else you will get the answer today or tomorrow.

I had a checkup in the hospital, so I have to take it easier again.

Everything seems to be alright, so no need to worry about anything.

Life is very good to me these days, my friend help me, so I have quite a calm life, I just do all the communication and keep everything in control.

So don’t worry, I will do my best to take time for myself and also keep this service running smoothly.

The service runs quite smoothly, there are not many complains and exept for the strange way the mail-system works (sometimes 3 days, sometimes 3 weeks), envelopes arrive everywhere we want.

So not much news these days my friends, a quiet 2 weeks with no strange e-mails or dead-wishes to me, just the normal communications. I wished it was always like that, but ofcourse the World has strange people on it, with whom we have to live with.

Well; I am used to that now and with all the beautiful e-mails and stories I read from my friends every day, those few crazy ones are forgotten and blocked in a second.

Be well my dear friends, you will ofcourse again hear from me in a day or ten, almost time to welcome the most beautiful time of the year; everything starts to live again in spring, stay wrell and take care,

René.

**************

February 12^TH , 2009

And hello again my dear friends.

As you can read above, I am away for the next weekend, as usual the orders are sent as normal, only the e-mails will be waiting until I am back.

Everything very oké here, I wish my friends in The UK and the USA strength with the snow, I hope my French friends made it through the storms and ofcourse my Australian friends much strength with the terrible fires.

I want to tell my Swedish friends, that I don’t speak or understand Swedish. I am sorry for that, but it seems there is a place on the internet where they tell I am from Sweden. Well, I am already almost 50 years Dutch!

I want to explain one more time to be sure , that the orders are processed on other addresses, so I get the files always 1 day later.

So sometimes I answer an e-mail about someone who asks if his or her order arrived here already (and those are TOO MANY…), while the “on its way-e-mail is sent the same day from another address.

It is good that the Pound and the Dollar are going up a bit, and I realy hope it will continue like that.

One more thing, I got the following e-mail from some kind of idiot who thinks my real name and address are to be found on the internet….:

so. i deffinitly know you have heard of extortion my friend. which
is what i am about to do to you

just because you live in new amsterdam doesnt mean the feds wont
come knocking on your door or find you. so i suggest if you dont
want to get arrested, you email me back with a more than generous
marijuana offer.

Blackmail and ofcourse a lack of brain, but you see there are still crazy people in the world.

Also it is sad to hear there are still many scams on the internet, but as I already write on top of this page; I don’t want to be blamed for things other people do, and my regular friends know the real story about this place.

Waiting for spring still, please stay well you all, take care,

René.

**************

February 2^ND , 2009

Hello my very dear friends, the new year is already one month old; how time flies by.

A lot is going on in The World, almost everybody feels the global economical situation: everybody has less money to spend and the banks who started it all are still getting money from our sweet governments to make themselves better.

What a World!

I feel very sorry for my English friends, half a year ago the pound was 1 ½ euro and now the pound has about the same value as the euro.

That means everything on my menu (and ofcourse everything priced in euro’s) became 33% more expensive for them.

I realy wished it was the other way around, because for me in Holland 1 euro is still 1 euro, so I don’t gain anything out of it.

Although the prices go up like crazy here also.

Lets hope the crisis will get to an end soon. At least President Obama has already showed he is a man of The World who stands open-minded for idea’s. It may not look like that for all Americans, but here in Europe that is how we see it.

After all this is the time the United States needs a President like Obama to prevent happening that countries like India, China or the Arab (Emirates) are going to take over The World.

(We already have lost 8 years with the man who’s name I don’t want to write or hear anymore.)

Not that I have anything against those countries, but they don’t exactly have the way of thinking about a “Free World” as most of us see it.

I don’t want to hurt anyone or disrespect other countries, people or religions; this is my personal opinion and ofcourse everybody has (and should have) his or her own opinion about that.

That should be more than enough about politics for this time, so back to our normal, humble life.

Everything is great here; storms, rain and cold, but in a month or 2 we can start thinking about Spring again; the yearly start of new life.

And we all need that after the 8 years of winter The World suffered from.

Please stay well you all, until the next time. And as always, take care,

René.

**************

January 23^RD , 2009

And hello to you all again my very dear friends.

The whole World is celebrating that we can feel safer already again with a new American president; one WITH a brain.

It will take a long time until we will feel the benefit of Obama, but at least we don’t have to be scared anymore.

Everything is going very well with me, tired as usual, but I am used to that now. And I know that all my “regular” friends have patience with me.

The only thing, I think I wrote about it already a few times on this place: I had 3 people the past week, wanting to speed up their orders, paying extra, even Fedex or something like that, and ofcourse more than 1 or 2 e-mails.

So again for my new friends: THIS IS NOT A PLACE WHEN YOU ARE IN A HURRY, also it is not the kind of business to be in a hurry and the last thing I am waiting for is to get stressed by people like that.

Also one guy who didn’t get his order started to bother a friend of me with e-mails; just ONE e-mail to ME would have solved the issue.

Ofcourse that is not an option now anymore, because you all know I solve every problem, as long as you let me know personally instead of wasting my friends time or waste time writing on forums.

When you buy at a shop and something is wrong, I don’t think you should go to another place to complain.

I hope you are all doing well, I wish the best for my very ill friends and my thoughts are with them many times of the day.

Until the next time my dear friends, as you all, I am also waiting for spring, stay well and take care,

René.

January 12^TH , 2009

Hello again my dear friends, all the holidays are behind us now and all I am waiting for is the spring to come; my finest time of the year.

Everything is back to normal again, I am always happy when December is finished because of the delays with the mail (and the cold, but that is another issue).

The last 6 weeks I received 3 envelopes from Sweden. That will say I received a letter that they are at the postoffice and that I have to sign for them.

So just a reminder that I don’t sign for envelopes and that they probably will be sent back to the returnaddress.

8 Days and counting!

What many people have been waiting for for years, is finaly going to happen! Barack Obama will get the hardest job ever to try to rebuild the USA after 8 years of destruction. And as you know, it didn’t only effect the USA, but the whole World:

Two unwinnable wars, destroyed economies, Al Quaida stronger than ever, it is too much for a new president.

Even –and how Bush did it- the places he visited and wanted to make better (Middle East, Africa) are getting worse by the day.

Obama will need a lot of time, here in Europe people are afraid that the American people expect results very quicly.

But what a “loose canon, oil-brain and” terrorist in a nice suit”, walking like Silvester Stallone” destroyed in 8 years, a bright, decent, caring, careful and intelligent man as Obama can not fix in a year.

What I hope, is that Obama will do something about the enormous bureaucracy in the CIA, FBI, Secret Service, DEA, UN (ofcourse not only the USA) and all those huge, slow organisations.

Let people who are now unemployed run those organisations: they will do much better.

I even heared that when you work at the FBI, and you can go to the toilet by yourself; they call you “special” agent!

And where were the United Nations the past year? I have seen them driving around in their fancy pickups with all the antenna’s in Africa: nice suits, looking around, doing nothing and having no clue what to do with the loads of money they earn.

Well my dear friends, I realy hope so much that this was the last time I had to write about Bush, lets please never hear anything from him or his family again. So we all can go back into the 21^ST century. Although here in Holland we still have to wait 2 more years before our “1950-Bushfriend-Balkenende” gets lost.

Please stay well you all in these cold days. And remember: Spring is almost around the corner for us on the Northern half of the World!

René.

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!!!

ALL THE BEST WISHES FOR 2009 !!!!

Hello my dear friends, a new year has started and I want to thank you for your very kind e-mail-wishes and cards. I tried to answer you all as personal as possible and I hope I didn’t forget anyone.

Please know that today is the first day in a week we were able to send envelopes out. So everybody who received the on iys way e-mail the past week; please know that your envelope is delayed.

From today the postal service works as normal again!

You all know already what I wish you for 2009; good health and close family are just a few of them.

I hope you all enjoyed the holidays. Eeating, drinking, celebrating and be together with family and friends; that was what I also did.

We could have used some snow here, we would be happy to relief our north east American friends with some of their snow (..)

But that is always the same: food, rain, storms or floods; some people get or have it all and others don’t.

Lets hope as every year for a better World, let all the countries in war think about more important things, like people for example.

As you can read above, I will not be behind the computer a few days next week, as usual the orders and ‘on the way e-mails’ are sent as always.

Saturday January 10^TH I will be back again, so please be patient.

For the rest everything goes very good here and I hope the same for everybody who reads this.

I wish you all a very good weekend and I will write here again in about 10 days.

Please rest good after the parties and start this year in good spirit,

Stay well and take care,

René.
