  3. I lived with Jim in 1985 for awhile. I think he needs to contact me regarding ‘someone’ we have in common. I only just figured it out months ago when I saw via a video that in September 1985 was when Farrakhan was in L.A. I bet that’s when he visited Jim. If so, my timeline is correct regarding what’s on my mind as I am the one who opened the door and let Farrakhan in. Literally to the week there’s a timeline I’m looking at. Like all these years I ‘couldn’t figure it out’ then a video of Farrakhan came on YouTube one day. The dates of his visit to L.A. appeared like a message I was supposed to see. So happenstance! It jumped out at me. That week *must’ve been the week he visited Jim. I did the math. That week in particular stands out and it’s when Louis Farrakhan visited and so did Todd Bridges for a meeting. (He was super rude.) During that meeting, Ahmad Rashad called. To the week. I was there. Then a bit later I moved out and went back home. I found out something. All these years I couldn’t remember exactly when I lived with Jim so out of site out of mind till I just recently connected the dots with that video that appeared. To the week it adds up.
