If you've been having EVERYTHING go wrong during this last little bit, Mercury is in Retrograde... I don't know if anyone else has noticed it.. But my boss came in and mentioned it on Friday. Finally it all made perfect sense.

I don't know anything about Mercury being feisty out there in his retrograde, but this was the full moon in the summer solstice, June 21 is the longest day of the year, and, yes, so many people go absolutely bananas during the full/new moons, but are worse during the seasonal changes, spring equinox (March), summer solstice (June), fall equinox (September), and winter solstice (December). These full moons bring out all the crazies. It was a zoo in my office this week.

I`m not to sure about those moon things besides I dont belive in it among other things I dont belive in. Starsigns and stuff, bah humbug.

And here was me thinking it had been a pretty good week...

RC it might just be that you're more positively influenced by it..it's more an "different kind of week" than anything..

Fint, what's the difference in believing that there's a corelation between the moon cycle and tidal patterns and retrogrades and us? It has something to do with Magnetification.

If people next to you on the street can affect how you move and think then why can other planets, astroids, stars, affect how this planet reacts? That's just my take on it..it's not anything magical it's just a matter of relationships.

Aren't we talking "Change or Upheaval" here?

The moon/tide cycles do make a difference. Ask any cop, hospital emergency room, mental health providers; people go nutzy. Everyone who had a problem called, screamed for appointments; it was standing room for divorce briefing. People wanted anulments yesterday from their marriage last week. Kids were totally unruly. Parents of middle school kids had restraining orders on each other's kids for giving each other the evil eye in class. It was totally nutz; the phone rang all day. My answering machine went totally berserk. You'd think chaos and mayhem was visiting, besides my own confusion. I finally gave up and went out to lunch on Thursday and Friday, just to get away from the mess.

You a lawyer Keo?

paralegal. My areas are paternity, child support, separation, divorce, spouse/family abuse, threat to life issues; immigration starting to take alot of my time. I tend to stay away from car purchases/repairs and consumer bills; they are an absolute pain in the neck. everything except military criminal, mostly family law.

Ah, that explains something Dim told me once.

oh?? and why did our fair Lady Dim say to you?

OH, just something about her that I think she may have discussed with you. Nothing I would want to bring to the open forum to be honest.

PM?

well I still dont belive other planets can be responsible for our behaviour, it is a bad excuse. Weird thing is we dont have these problems in Norway even if jupiter should be align with mars people wouldnt act strangely. Why is this such a problem in the US.

Because we always need something to discuss over the water cooler. Unfortuately in my office we don't have a water cooler so we just kind of shout back and forth between the offices.

Anyway, I know what Dim is trying to get across. I think the planets and their alignments can easily affect people here on earth. I mean, as they move around in different positions at different times in the solar system, there's going to be different gravitional and magnetic pulls and all that stuff. I love going outside in the middle of night in midsummer when the moon is full, like say 1,2 am and just sit out there. Its so magical, with the moon so bright and all the lightning bugs and all those damp smells of dew and plants and things growing even under the moon. Hearing the crickets and the tree frogs. If you're not into it, I guess you can't really understand it....you have to experience it.

Dim got me reading my stars a few months ago at a site ( http://stars.metawire.com/ ) and I've been following them there for a while.

On the whole they do reflect the events going on in my life.

Sometimes I read them in the morning and sometimes at night, but always they reflect well. SOmetimes it's scary how well they do get.

Maybe we are to close to the North Pole here in Norway and its magnatism to get affected by planets, I dont know.

Seen Santa lately ?

yes he is in the workshop pretty busy

Well say hi to the Bumble when you see him.

Did anybody ever have their cards read ?

many, many years ago.

Did any of it come true ?

Mandys' mom and sister both have, they seem to think it was pretty accurate.

I prefer the vague nature of the horoscope, with a personal reading you may find out something you don't want to know.

not really, most of it was kinda vague, but maybe because there were so many changes in my life at that time. Anyway, my own esp/6th sense are more accurate than the cards, I have found.

I'll take the force over tarot cards any day.

The Force rules

Had a gypsy come into work once and gave someone a reading. She said, "firstly you'll cross my palm with silver.." and the lad said promptly, "WRONG!!".

It was funny at the time, and the gypo was gutted that he was taking the pish.

Am I making any sense? Just read my last message and I'm not sure. God I'm still drunk. I'm gonna have a sleep on my desk. Ta ta.

don't fall off of it, mech

Try some OJ, Mech.....you need some vitamins to get your system up and running again.

Drink water, the body respond to the lack of fluid in it (thus the headaches) by drinking water you restores the balance again. More like Anakin

gatorade, electrolytes, restore the balance in your system.

No no no, everyone knows the only cure for a hangover is a greasy breakfast from a cafe where you have to specify that you'd like both a clean plate and mug.

ah, yes, your favorite greasy spoon place will cleanse your inners.

I've heard a quart of prune juice will have the same effect minus the grease.

So in other words barfing is the cure

I would think that would bring a southern response.

Finti certainly has a way of cutting through the felgercarb.

straight to the point.

Or don't drink in the first place?
