&quot;1&quot;;&quot;11&quot;;&quot;I'm working on a chat thingy - I haven't linked it into this site yet, still testing it.  Could you check to see if it works ok for you?  I'm not sure what exactly webtv supports.<br />

It's a blank grey page with test page for ircapplet class at the top, two lines under it? Not sure lol. If it's Java applets I can't process those on this browser, though the IRC and HTML aspects of the feature should make it usable there's no input field.  used tohave great luck with Chatzy back before tehy got so popular their server started laggign and eventually froze to unloadability. I'll see what I can find on TheFreeSite sometime. (nod)</p>

&quot;3&quot;;&quot;2&quot;;&quot;<font face="Times New Roman">A brave new era and an expansion and possible replacement within the Online Meta Empire. So much have we put onto the Internet, so much created. How much will be Used though, how much will be fulfilled, filled with Sitezens? A bright new community in which to house the Internet's most vibrant unique and valued personalities. A stable and stayable environment, protected vigilantly by wise fierce discerning powerful Hostroids and Hammazons. Where Phact and Phiction meet, have lunch, mingle, exchange messages, meet again later, have dinner, get a hotel room lol jk. Where figures can speak and the speech figures. Where a forum is a metaphor of the perception of our various possible realities. Where? The Metaphorum!</font>
<div class="sig">To the Mysteries of Nature and the Nature of Mysteries!</div>&quot;
&quot;3&quot;;&quot;3&quot;;&quot;<font face="Arial">My only complaint is it's going too smoothly to be true, it's gotta start messing up sometime, something's gonna happen right as I get into and used to the place. Well, that and it's called Beehive lol. I'm no big fan of bees, I used to have a phobia about them before I learned to kill them quickly before they could sting me for existing. I killed a huge spider awhile ago, it was fast, and moving and towards me. WHOMP came down the laundry basket upon it's fragile dusty little frame. Resumed eating my curds and whey in peace. Hmmm, yep, definitely going way too smoothly. My phpbbserver site's already problematic, my invision's a complete frustration, my boardhost6 is just a mystery. And the TalkCity? Well that's a whole other story entirely. I'll tell it there. It's starting to go out in interesting ways on me as well. But well, WELL How are YOU all diggin thi scene so far? :D</font>
<div class="sig">To the Mysteries of Nature and the Nature of Mysteries!</div>&quot;
&quot;3&quot;;&quot;4&quot;;&quot;<p>As for the beehive logo at the top of the pages, I plan to replace it with something a little more metaphorumy.</p>

<p>The emoticons can be changed and added to if you either dislike them or feel more are needed.</p>

<p>I'll try to work something out with the chat do-hicky - Do you have any difficulties with the Talk City chat?  I believe it is also a Java applet - do you access the irc server independently of the applet?</p>&quot;
&quot;3&quot;;&quot;5&quot;;&quot;<p>TC Chat does just fine, they have an optimized IRC Interface just for Webtv.</p>

<p>The Emotes are great, though I have seen a set I'd probably have to borrow from Raiven. All medeival. Midevil? Dark Ages. I'm no expert on those kinda things lol.</p>

<p>If you have had any luck with FlamingText.com you're doing better than me. They must have altered the link because I'm getting the grey screen of denial from them the last few months. (fail)</p>
<div class="sig">To the Mysteries of Nature and the Nature of Mysteries!</div>&quot;
&quot;2&quot;;&quot;6&quot;;&quot;Right the heck on. Yep, it's in my TC Profile/s too.
<div class="sig">To the Mysteries of Nature and the Nature of Mysteries!</div>&quot;
&quot;2&quot;;&quot;7&quot;;&quot;It'll allow posts, but when making changes to options or profile it'll freak and tell me that I need to be logged in to do that. Might just be a security measure to prevent profile hijacking.

<br />
Twist and bella, rockafella, shiney lights, react, distract. <br />
<br />
I once looked, the pages booked, the pictures within turned to black. <br />
<br />
All light is gone now, where is here, what are cigars, what is beer. <br />
<br />
Who is this I'm seeing now, the mirrors broken, stretched, dusty.<br />
<br />
I see me, this cannot be, I'm like a truck that's old and rusty. <br />
<br />
I used to be so young so bright, everything was wrong or right. <br />
<br />
Everyone followed rules, noone died and none were fools. <br />
<br />
The world could end soon it heads that way, day by day I waste away, which will end first the earth or me, it's not a question of how but when, you'll see.<br />
<br />
Random thoughts on wooden casters rolling sludgy thru the plaster, IM THE MASTER, blaster's mine, I've left real Disasters behind. I've burned bridges, still I smile, people ask IM NOT IN DENIAL, still they lie, still they doubt, still I block out their words, still I shout at birds. Of course they flee, scared of all, live in fear until they fall. Die, and die and make it soon so can skin ya like Daniel Boone, there's a guy who's where it's at, wore his pets like furry hats. Ot much more to really state, staying up here way too late. <br />
<br />
Try making sense as much as I might, I must concede and say goodnight.<br />
<br />
"Good Night!." <br />
<br />
Bend the metal ever slowly down, wrap it tightly suffocate the clown, imprison him until the time is right, inject him with this poison and release him into night. <br />
<br />
All he needs is moonlight rays shining down, to turn his features away from the clown, his teeth and fingernails will growly quickly, his fetid breath glowing eyes and pallor now sickly. <br />
<br />
He lopes and lumbers, stumbles thru the timber, don't be fooled by this carelessness, he's actually quiet limber. He's on his way now north west and east, a big white house contains his feast.<br />
<br />
Front door, knocking, standing there panting. Fogging up the window, darkening the landing. A little man from tumbleweed opens the door curiously, first mistake this man did make was not having security. <br />
<br />
The clownbeast reached forth and eagerly grasping the little southern turkey neck and chuckled at the gasping. He twisted it crackled, he yanked it popped, he bit and pulled and wrenched it off and then the breathing stopped. <br />
<br />
Prize in arm he laughed with glee and back south west he went, and on the doorstep of that white house a headless resident. <br />
<br />
"Yeah, I'm a little creepy, lol, for the last time Good Night." <br />

I'm surrounded in myself, all I see is various phorms, each one a different feature, a creature beyond the norm. <br />
<br />
Aluminus Kann, giant and metallic, a decepticon rebel now an autocon smartaleck. He stands taller than most but kneels to humble himself, and won't hesitate to give up any helpful parts upon his shelf. He's been dashed and smashed and forgotten about, but for here, his new homebase he'll proudly twist and shout and cheer. And when you see him near, he's a vocal chatterbox, he transforms rolls in and out and he just plain rocks. <br />
<br />
CryptoKnight's been around me since the beginning, in the occult research of creatures he alway seems he's winning. The Cobalt Manticore lives on, older and wiser, with determination with information he'll never be a miser. His heart is in the nighttime hills, surrounded by sights and sounds that would give most the chills. He's got a cause, a purpose in his field and to likeminded folks, his perceptions he will yield.<br />
<br />
Stargoyle, damn what more can be said, he's of the origins, the births and communing with the dead. He's walked with gods and demons and spirits beyond description, his steelrock form floats in his own universe beyond depiction. Treading always a fine line between evil and what is good. Defying both to the definition we thought we understood. <br />
<br />
He is what he is, standing outside defining and openmindedness in giving those around him that very same refining.<br />
<br />
The2Metacats, not around as much as before, blocking the hallway or wedged in front of the door, laying on the floor or staring at me now. <br />
<br />
Begging eating pieces of dead bird, fish or cow. Back by popular demand, usually furrily out of hand, with them two never ever is as planned. <br />
<br />
Their food is bagged or canned, their breath it surely shocks, but not quite as bad as that smell of their litterbox.<br />
<br />
As for me? Damn, The Meta, neither a playa nor a hata, changes shapes to suit my needs, on information I cooks and feeds. Mostly always eager to please, being a mystery of nature and the nature of mysteries. So you might not know me very well, but that's all well and good, because even to myself I am not totally understood. OF all the unknown things in life, on earth, in space, in other dimensions, I retain that fragile but sturdy disbelief in suspension. Who knows what really's held inside my fate or destiny, but together we will find it out, just I and All of Me.<br />
<br />

<br />
Crack my thumbs, fingers, ok, nothing else on the hands but the hands gets in the way. The keyboard's almost always too small, fingers too big, here's what all I wrote, so I gave up on rhyming, who cares. What matters is I filled up each category of blog here with at least something to say on everything and aint even posted a picture yet, but I will, should, at least soon, as possible. <br />
<br />
Fraaaaaggh, post!<br />
<br />
A line dancer sells the ball bearing behind the tornado to the tomato. <br />
<br />
When a green girl scout starts reminiscing about lost glory, the parking lot beyond another ball bearing starts reminiscing about lost glory. Most people believe that the scythe tries to seduce a statesmanlike senator, but they need to remember how non-chalantly another class action suit ceases to exist. A cocker spaniel of a light bulb hibernates, and a bartender from a freight train leaves; however, a tornado graduates from a lover of the cocker spaniel. An asteroid over an ocean Some pickup truck inside the grand piano procrastinates, and a chess board for a buzzard hesitates; however, a mean-spirited jersey cow eagerly trades baseball cards with the briar patch. For example, the particle accelerator indicates that a bowling ball figures out the most difficult fruit cake. Most people believe that a turkey completely secretly admires a stoic blood clot, but they need to remember how knowingly the turn signal defined by an apartment building beams with joy. <br />
When a tabloid is gentle, the outer globule tries to seduce the inferiority complex. A grand piano around the ski lodge feels nagging remorse, but a satellite secretly admires an asteroid inside an ocean. <br />
<br />
This be just some of te nonsense included in a typical spam email, I have no idea why they put all that in there, it's probably to justify it by trying to look like an email with some content, no matter how nonsensical? I don't understand you humans.<br />
<br />
Fall slowed softly by a growl in the air, a slowing of time or a cushion right there, a landing a looking eyes alight, fangs are bared so smiles the night, who owns the night, try asking again, noone owns the night, the night owns them. They are the walkers of shadows unseen, they are the darkness of all human beings, and yet not even human, are they who stalk, but yet another form of existence that dares to walk, to fly to skim, to swoop dive and rest, a scratching at my door and chill draft is felt, I go to the door and there she knelt. I invited her in.<br />
<br />
I've had this song in my head amlost all day today and it hasn't gotten old, the lyrics I'm not sure about, but the beat is unshakable, something I can breath fire and shoot lightning out with. Linkin Park Lyrics With You I woke up in a dream todayTo the cold of the static and put my cold feet on the floorForgot all about yesterdayRemembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymoreA little taste of hypocrisyAnd I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to reactEven though you're so close to meYou're still so distantAnd I can't bring you backIt's true the way I feelWas promised by your faceThe sound of your voicePainted on my memoriesEven if you're not with meI'm with youYou, now I see, keeping everything insidewith youYou, Now I see, Even when I close my eyesI hit you and you hit me backWe fall to the floor the rest of the day stands stillFine line between this and thatWhen things go wrong I pretend the past isn't realI'm trapped in this memoryAnd I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to reactSo even though you're close to meYou're still so distantAnd I can't bring you backIt's true the way I feelWas promised by your faceThe sound of your voicePainted on my memoriesEven if you're not with meI'm with youYou, now I see, keeping everything insidewith youYou, Now I see, Even when I close my eyesWith youYou, now I see, keeping everything insidewith youYou, Now I see, Even when I close my eyesNo, no matter how far we've comeI can't wait to see tomorrowNo, no matter how far we've come II can't wait to see tomorrowWith youYou, now I see, keeping everything insidewith youYou, Now I see, Even when I close my eyesWith youYou, now I see, keeping everything insidewith youYou, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes. <br />
<br />
Sometimes Hello it's me oops, sometimes when you get a song in your head it's a way your mind is trying to tell you something, or gets stuck in your head because some part of it is trying to reach you. At least that's my most current assumption, slap it on in, the cd, linkin park <br />
hybrid theory or reanimation. <br />
<br />
There's something there I just can't quite put a finger on.

Lord Meta flipped a switch and magically, shelves of glowing books and scrolls were either translocated or vanished to the nothingness of meaning. He smiled, all was good as he looked out the window over the courtyard, empty but for the occasionaly passerby. He looked up at space and the planet the Kingdom orbitted. Such works would be seen, such potential discovered, such life and spirit and confidence would reinforce itself in wondrous expressions of individual creativity. <br />
He looked grimly at the writing desks and artist's easels crudely set up and connected to brutal looking energy syphons. None of that creativity was going to waste, not this time...,<br />

Two flashing meters indicated power was increasing in two of the pods. Hundreds more were in passive reception mode, storing up power until such a time they too were ready to generate their own output. He tightend the seals on his metal mask and wheezed for effect, crossing his arms he stalked the place, cape flowing as much as it could for dramatic effect in the boringly still air.<br />

MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB, Her father shot it dead. Now it goes to school with her, Between two hunks of bread. JACK AND JILL Went up the hill To have a little fun. Stupid Jill forgot the pill And now they have a son. HUMPTY DUMPTY sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the kings' horses, And all the kings' men. Had scrambled eggs, For breakfast again. HEY DIDDLE, DIDDLE the cat took a piddle, All over the bedside clock. The little dog laughed to see such fun. Then died of electric shock. GEORGIE PORGY Pudding and Pie, Kissed the girls and made them cry. And when the boys came out to play, He kissed them too 'cause he was gay. There was a little girl who had a little curl Right in the middle of her forehead. When she was good, she was very, very good. But when she was bad.. She got a fur coat, jewels, A waterfront condo, And a sports car. <br />

<br />
Not yet! I don't know how I'll react, but I hope it's with lots of laughs. <br />
<br />
Laughs for most people. Not the closest. Arg. I can't think of any way to be happy losing the closest people. <br />
<br />
I really like what his sister wrote. <br />
<br />
I think that it's brothers and sisters who know a person best when they were young, and likely when they're grown up if they stay close. <br />
<br />
My brother and I don't keep close contact. But I know things my mom would never know. Mostly silly things, like the Great White Hooter Hunters (he and his friends would pretend to be at school). <br />
<br />
Ag is my best friend, my brother, my soulmate, my partner for life. It miiiight sound a little weird calling a partner of this sort a brother, but he's just like a brother. We're so childish sometimes. And we play games, and tell each other our secrets. We laugh about jokes we've had going forever, and they never get boring. Other people don't know what's passing between us, but we're thinking the same things. We know how to make each other laugh. That's fun. <br />

<br />
I've lost a friend, a brother, an uncle, all grandparents, a few cats, a cousin and my first heavy heavy 6th grade crush. Death's pretty familiar to me, lol.<br />

Ya wanna know how to forge a true diehard god-hating athiest pagan rebel? Tell him it was all a part of God's Plan. This, from God, was very poor customer service and as such I refuse to frequent his establishments anymore.<br />

From: Stargoyle    5/14/2006 5:17 pm To: ALL  (5 of 16)  878.5 in reply to 878.4 In Honor of sending and receiving posts and emails from myself, true proof have too much time on my hands. My heartfelt appreciation goes out to all of you who have taken the time and trouble to send me "forwards" over the past12 months. Thank you for making me feel safe, secure, blessed, and wealthy. <br />
<br />
Extra thanks for the ones that I have to open 15 times to get to the message. <br />
<br />
Special thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat crap in the glue on envelopes 'cause I now have to go get a wet towel every time I need to seal an envelope. <br />
<br />
Also, I scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason. <br />
<br />
Because of your concern, I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains. <br />
<br />
I no longer drink Pepsi, or Dr Pepper, since the people who make these products are atheists who won't put "Under God" on their cans. <br />
<br />
I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer. <br />
<br />
I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS. <br />
<br />
I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day. <br />
<br />
I no longer go to shopping malls because someone might drug me with a perfume sample and rob me. <br />
<br />
I no longer receive packages from, nor send packages by UPS, or FedEx, since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise. <br />
<br />
I no longer answer the phone, because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore, and Uzbekistan. <br />
<br />
I no longer eat KFC, because their "chickens" are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers. <br />
<br />
I no longer have any sneakers -- but that will change once I receive my free replacement pair from Nike. <br />
<br />
I no longer have to buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus, since I now have their recipe. <br />
<br />
I no longer worry about my soul, because at last count I have 363,214 angels looking out for me. <br />
<br />
Thanks to you, I have learned that God only answers my prayers if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes. <br />
<br />
I no longer have any savings, because I gave it to a sick girl who is about to die in the hospital (for the 1,387,258th time) <br />
<br />
I no longer have any money at all - but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special email program. <br />
<br />
Yes, I want to thank you so much for looking out for me that I will now return the favor! <br />
<br />
If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 7 minutes, a large pigeon with a wicked case of diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 PM (EST) this afternoon. <br />
I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of mine's next door neighbor's ex-mother-i n-law's second husband's cousin's beautician. <br />

From: Metaphorm    11/2/2006 2:37 pm To: ALL  (7 of 16)  878.7 in reply to 878.6 Some more bad news.<br />
E-mail message Subject: Shoe <br />
Hey everyone,<br />
 I have bad news. Shoe (Carl Wiggenhorn) passed on last night. <br />
His liver failed and he died of internal bleeding. Friends that were with him at his home tried to save him with CPR but he was pronounced by EMTs at 3:00 AM this morning. I will update you as any plans for services time and date. <br />
We pray that he is with our Lord Jesus Christ as I write this.<br />
Along with that bad news, Sunnie's battle with cancer continues. <br />
Doctors were already giving her around 6 months due to stage 4 breast cancer. Last week doctors found 2 walnut sized tumors in her brain (brain cancer). She goes in for brain surgery this Friday over in Lubbock.<br />

I never knew Shoe, another biker friend of my aunt and uncle's, but anyone's passing is an uncomfortable time for me. There's like no right way to approach death unless you're dying yourself it seems. My aunt however is a different story, burly tough gruff no nonsense heart of a golden harley davidson, but still sensitive enough to believe in magic, look at crystals, drink herbal remedies. A kind of a biker witch, a chrome airbrush sorceress of nature and the open road. I'm not handling this well currently, my wordings hide it, but I'm a barely held back malfunction of emotion waiting to happen. The gut cramps, the throat knots, the eyes burn, I'm there. This sucks. I'm really gonna start to hate my birthday when people keep making it their deathday. I'm gonna go buy a Harley soon, yep, I've just decided to. It does't even have to be a fullsizer, it could be a 5 dollar model, but it will be bought. For me, or more for my aunt. I have a memorial shelf here, on it are symbols of those who've gone on before me. Castle UncleBud death by cirrhosis, Jade Dragons for Dusty who died in a gang execution his fave critter, Tony the Tiger for PFC Tony T death by apparent but suspicious and still being investigated suicide in the army, yin yang tigers for my brother Jason killed by accidental suicide with ball and powder pistol, guarded by gargoyles and the appropriate supernatural superheroes and castle strongholds I still prayed I'd never totally fill that shelf up, that the last effigy would tribute me, but as long as I live others will have a chance to get a head start on me.<br />

TalkCity is still nice, yes, but it's not letting me change profile, not letting me set profiles to new addresses for email message notifications! What you see isn't what you get anymore, but it's all you get now. <br />
<br />
The new site constructed by Agrajag is some tight cool sight to site to see. Probably not ready to be revealed yet, and I'm not sure if it's the Trial site or the final draft, depending on how it's hosted I guess. The new LotGD is fun too, and I'm finding myself competitive, probably not doing so well but in the runnings nonetheless. If Agra managed to set that one up free my teeth are chattering as to how lol. Point is I wanna slap some props to Agrajag and Aqrn for their body of work and spirit in presence. I can't really get into why I was gone for so long other than the obvious of life, work schedule, health, energy, mood, and other personal time space anomalies. <br />
<br />
These two are firebrands and we're too lucky to have em. <br />
<br />
The dark lady Raiven has returned also, equally disgusted with that Shade board poorly moderated and sickeningly read lol. Even Zagreo has managed to sneak back in! Another weird new name, but he's watched closely and seems at peace with himself and others. Ya gotta admit he adds a spunk and spice to the place seen nowhere else on the <a href="http://Www.">Www.</a> The unique and only Zagreo The Neopagan. <br />
<br />
I'm listening to the AM Radio, those contestants vying for the job I feel BarnCat should have rightfully gotten are doing moderately variable. The're not The Cat, they're passable, but damnit they are not BarnCat. He's taking it hard, any other job judges you on just experience skills certifications and work history, but Radio and other talent based jobs judge you on the level you can feel on your own Self Worth! Barny's crawling back outta the slump and searching for plan B, wait no? Okay plan T he's up to now lol. He's losing his mind here, he knows he's for better things than security work in entry level hell, but how those in power are judging have determined to keep him down. STargoyle's got more info on His CAtly Self than I presently have access to. It'd make for a good book or movie like Howard Stern's movie parts lol, that is once it ends fulfilled. Perpetual entry level hell as a movie wuold drag on as boring and incomprehensible as Blair Witch Project without the scary.<br />
<br />
Well I hang this up here folksiessss, the Sangria has buzzypillowed my brainpan and I still have yet to figure what I'm having for Breakupper Dinnerfast whateverrr lol damnit. <br />

WebTV, Web on my TV, and how all that works out. <br />
Current mood: bitchy <br />
Category: Web, HTML, Tech <br />
<br />
I'll slap this on here because I'm tired of repeating myself, lol. Let's see, I bought this webtv for 40 bucks several years ago, it has slow dialup, takes forever to get to some places, for never to get to others. <br />
<br />
No I will not buy another computer, I am not made of money. <br />
<br />
I have uninsured medical bills up the yin yang yuan, I do not make large loads lump sums of money, got bills from way back, old bills, interest / disinterest, my money manager somehow cannot stock the place with edible foods, but somehow box catalog items are arriving at least weekly. <br />
<br />
I am on and can do what I afford. I have, access to, three total cellphones. Two are on the way out cause Verizon f'n sucks. They're pricing us right into the pits of hells. I can see within view 2 printers, one has stopped working, the other hasn't started working yet.<br />
<br />
We have various computer components around, and none have gotten online successfully, most of them corporate employee handmeouts. Very dubious if they'll ever get online. One of those hard drives set to work daily eating and deleting it's own files. It had ta go.<br />
<br />
Dude get a dell? Dude go to hell. Go Gateway? Gates of hell, might as well go with Dell. I dunno. Shoot. Why is it so necessary to be able to go everywhere on the net when all ya need is a few steady faves, 2 - 3 liked and liked back forums, a chat or two and your own halfast decent webpage?<br />
<br />
Am I a fuddy duddy for thinking this? <br />
I'm just now mastering HTML HyperText Mumblemumble Language. Img Src is fun, Midis too. Href or is it Ahref? <br />
<br />
I fumble mumble and stumble my way through. <br />
<br />
So anyways, people, please get up offa my case, suggest, don't demand, say it once and do not repeat, please believe me and knock off the WHY HAVENT YOU and OMFGD I CANT BELIEVE YOU and MAN I TOLD YOU YRS AGO TO and other stuff, people are gonna fall off messenger list like this. <br />
<br />
Just realize it's very frustrating, it is a brick wall, all I have to tell you has been told, the rest is personal. I don't have to justify anything to anyone, lol sure I can judge, but judge me not lest I judge you myself. I do what I can with what I got until what I can get increases after what I got now quits allows me to get other stuff, better stuff.<br />
<br />
Keep it under your hat, but we just got in some more used corporate computer components handed me downs from a local company moving to a smaller space. There is no guarantee they'll work, as we've had terrible luck with anything highly electronic we so much as looked at wrong, but if they can get up and functional..., <br />
<br />
That'd sure be a nice thing, lol. So the parts are there now, they just might need more desk space, to be operational, to be patient.<br />
<br />
(It's mostly Reygar who keeps telling me to get a computer, I think he does it just cause he knows it irks me lol. It's not up to me, it's not within my options. I've never seen a YouTube anything, they don't load, I can't access Flash games, I can't open PDF files and spf files and the other weirder lesser used ones, they keep getting sent to me though, so I keep sighing and deleting them. It just feels like folks think I'm lying or lazying out of checking out every link forcefed down my throat. I get one window at a time, and the loading for some of them is interminal, especially with msn messenger on, it'll sometimes just freeze, you cannot imagine the irritation I had seeing SEE IT YET? on my monitor just as that particular set of words freezes and crashes the screen. So no, I don't see it. Nowadays I just get up and walk so the site can load and the person who wants me to see it gives up and eats silence. Is it any wonder I set up Websites? In order to keep in contact with mass loads of people without crashing my weakling meagerish systems. Here's something funny lol my waiting game might be winning out, the Mrs.Meta is starting to get really irked about the loading times on this lol so I think maYbe all those computer components might one day mysteriously assemble and function if I can wait it out long enough. ;) There's a madness to my methods!) </font>   :-&

&quot;8&quot;;&quot;1&quot;;&quot;<p>From: 	AluminusKann  Staff 	12/4/2003 1:35 am <br />
To: 	ALL 	 (1 of 19) </p>

<p>&gt;These are excerpted from a previous authoral attempt, some names have been changed to protect originality and all.&lt;</p>

<p>&gt;Soultron and Skyscythe are what are known as Seekers, Originally a type of flying scouting war craft, on earth they've assumed the form of military aircraft (See: Starscream, Thundercracker, etc) Soultron had just fallen to Earth and was restored by two of his oldest allies who had already landed, SKy and his lifemate, Soundbyte. SB on a whim has chosen a DJ's danceclub mixing turntable assembly as her disguise form.&lt;</p>

<p>&gt;At this point in the story, Soultron and his forces prepare for a battle with a landing party of Decepticons led by Megatron's closest lackey, Shockwave. and two more pods are activated containing, Aluminus Kann (ME! YAY!) and Shear Luna-C. Kann transforms into a towtruck, Shear into a jetcopter. Nuff for now, enjoy the read!&lt;</p>

<p>Soultron and Skyscythe journeyed into the heart of the volcanic tomb, carefully avoiding the molten rock that ran beneath.</p>

<p>\&quot;Sir? How do you know they will come here?\&quot; Skyscythe dashed avoiding a stream of lava pouring through the rock way around him. \&quot;They are destined to come here. It has been foretold.\&quot;</p>

<p>Soultron moved along the rock, every so often passing his hand over their worn expressions.<br />
\&quot;I don't understand, what happened up there? I saw you fall&hellip;\&quot;</p>

<p>Soultron turned to his companion and suddenly a great darkness overcame him. \&quot;You saw nothing&hellip;\&quot;</p>

<p>Skyscythe was never more terrified than at this moment. The glaring eyes of his leader quickly approached him, but he could no longer see any form to which they belonged.</p>

<p>Something was wrong.</p>

<p>Several streams of flowing lava entrapped him and there was not much ground to fend off any assault. An unusual fear, unlike any sensation he had ever felt before held him still. A low rumbled had developed within his audio receptors. The eyes stopped.</p>

<p>His leader returned.<br />
\&quot;I&hellip;I am sorry Soultron, yes, something did happen up there I remember. The matrix is&hellip;making hard to focus.\&quot;</p>

<p>Soultron returned to his trek towards the Ark and Skyscythe loyally followed, if now at a greater distance.</p>

<p>\&quot;The matrix is killing you sir, it cannot be kept nor open by a Decepticon.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Unfounded myth.\&quot; Soultron replied coldly. \&quot;The matrix allows whoever is worthy to possess it.\&quot;</p>

<p>We encountered it before.</p>

<p>Soultron and Skyscythe flew up to the opening in the Ark and entered. They quickly made their way back to the main chamber as the last kick was delivered to Soundwave's head. The body of the broken Decepticon fell to the floor and Soundbyte stood triumphantly over her conquest.</p>

<p>\&quot;Had you been waiting an eternity for this?\&quot;<br />
Soultron questioned as he entered the central command center once again. Soundbyte revealed a satisfactory smile as Soultron approached.<br />
\&quot;I had hoped for more of a challenge.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;The Decepticons that came on this mission were weak fools. Not our finest moment.\&quot;</p>

<p>Soultron looked again at the remains of Megatron. An image of Nocturna filled his mind.</p>

<p>\&quot;Why did I follow you into darkness?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;My lord?\&quot; Soundbyte approached.</p>

<p>\&quot;No, its nothing. Memories of a life I never had. But my fortunate journey through space has landed me back in the company of my forces and we have captured the Autobot's most prized possession.\&quot;<br />
\&quot;We have the matrix?\&quot;<br />
Soundbyte stepped back.<br />
\&quot;Yes, I now carry that which the Autobots crave most desperately. We are now in command of this war. And there is time for change.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Then our mission is a success, for we have found you my lord and you will lead us over Shockwave and his forces once we return to Cybertron.\&quot;<br />
Soundbyte moved closer to her leader.</p>

<p>\&quot;That may happen sooner than you thank my dear Soundbyte. For the matrix has granted me an unusual gift. There is a battalion of Decepticons approaching earth as we speak.</p>

<p>\&quot;Shockwave is with them.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Our time to take power is now. I say we launch a full assault against them when they arrive.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;No Skyscythe, not a full assault. I will go myself.\&quot; Soultron glanced once again at the body of Optimus Prime.</p>

<p>\&quot;This I must do alone.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;But Soultron..\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Soundbyte, you and Skyscythe have served me well. You have found me and I will deliver our people from Shockwave's inadequacies. When the Decepticons arrive, flank their position and draw their fire. I will deal with the main forces myself.\&quot;</p>

<p>Betrayal.</p>

<p>That is what I know. That is the honor that I hold to. Shockwave betrayed me and I will betray him. It is a vicious cycle, life as a Decepticon. But no longer. I am not a Decepticon any longer and I don't think I ever was.</p>

<p>No.</p>

<p>We have never been a Decepticon. We don't understand them and their ways. We understand unity and darkness. We understand destruction and chaos must be consistent and constant. That is what we are. That is what we once were.<br />
{Long have I dwelt beneath the deep awaiting this moment. Transformers...a race of machines....they know nothing of what lies within the void of their world. I have awakened. I am reborn and now I am....<br />
Soultron.<br />
I await both Autobot and Decepticon. I will show them the pain of darkness.}</p>

<p>Skyscythe and Soundbyte watch Soultron fly off.<br />
Skyscythe:\&quot;Ok we may have to defend ourselves, and i have and idea how to draw their flank.\&quot;</p>

<p>Soundbyte:\&quot;What?\&quot;</p>

<p>SkyScythe:\&quot;Well i'll go near the volcanos mouth and fly out shooting, when they least expect it distracting them.\&quot;<br />
He turns and places his arms on her shoulders<br />
\&quot;While you hide near some rocks we saw earlier on the ground, and playing some of your seismic shock music.\&quot;</p>

<p>Soundbyte:\&quot;And that should disorient them enough so u can knock them out of the sky.\&quot;</p>

<p>Skyscythe:\&quot;Exactly.\&quot;</p>

<p>Soundbyte looks into his eyes.<br />
Soundbyte:\&quot;I love it when u get into all 'planning mode'\&quot; She turns quickly, before he can embrace her. With her back to him.</p>

<p>Soundbyte:\&quot;I might use one of my viruses on Teletran One get him to be on full alert and shoot everyont except us and Soultron.\&quot;</p>

<p>SkyScythe:\&quot;That would be great, Good Luck.\&quot;</p>

<p>Skyscythe begins to walk off. Soundbyte looking unhappy walks off as well towards Teletran Ones main screen.<br />
SkyScythe runs to her and spins her around he quickly embraces her and kisses her.<br />
SkyScythe:\&quot;Don't die on me, I want to continue this later.\&quot;</p>

<p>And with that he flies off, leaving Soundbyte feeling very giddy.</p>

<p>Ducking quickly back behind a boulder, Aluminus shook his head and wondering how deep the slag he stepped into was.</p>

<p>{and where is Shear?}</p>

<p>Upon activation after landfall, his circuits had picked out a simple form of wheeled transport for his secondary form and a crude laser rifle and photon blade.</p>

<p>{Both seem to be low on energy...Slag!}<br />
After a seemingly endless slumber, he awoke.</p>

<p>{Where have we wound up now?}</p>

<p>He knew somehow it would'nt be enough.</p>

<p>{Where is</p>&quot;
&quot;8&quot;;&quot;2&quot;;&quot;<p>From: 	AluminusKann  Staff 	12/4/2003 2:07 am <br />
To: 	AluminusKann 	 (2 of 19) </p>
 	
<p>&gt;This chapter introduces the most fearsome thing to fly the skies since, well, since something really scary flew Introducing Shear Luna-C!&lt;</p>

<p>Anxiously flicking his weapons on and off, thoughts running through his head. So much salvage back there,<br />
(Their lifeless forms = PARTS!)<br />
He'd have to see if he could get his \&quot;pick of the litter\&quot; so to speak after this skirmish was done.</p>

<p>Weapons power to full, feeling good, healthy, even a little over confident, he could'nt help but stick out his torso plate and walk about beaming a winner's smile. Self-conscious, that Soundbyte would see his proud display he resumed his usual slouch and lumbered over to her.</p>

<p>Too bad she seemed connected to this Skyscythe guy, she's be a nice addition to my.. She turned to look at him, interrupting his thoughts, asking him if all was in readiness. He nods, salutes, and looks to the entrance of the cave.</p>

<p>Only imagining all those parts falling from the skies for he, himself, to rebuild however he wanted, kept him at ease and ready for the Call To Arms.</p>

<p>He'd attend to other Agendas later</p>

<p>An unmentioned weakness of his, boredom had set in for Aluminus. This wait for the battle ahead however breif, was grinding into him.., So, scanning the terrain ahead of him seemed to kill and fill some of the time.<br />
Spying Ironhide's kicked off head in the distance brought a mischeivous smirk to his features,</p>

<p>&lt;Virrr-r-r-r.&gt;<br />
his shouldermounted hoisting hook flipped over to launch position.</p>

<p>&lt;Chikt! Zwi&gt;i&gt;i&gt;i&gt;i&gt;ing!&gt;<br />
Cast out and<br />
&lt;Thucklinkt!&gt;</p>

<p>the hook was lodged in Ironhide's faceplate. Gleefully he reels it in.</p>

<p>&lt;Zweeeeee...,&gt;</p>

<p>Catching in his left hand, he rolls it over thoughtfully. Looking over at Soundbyte, who seems not to have noticed his little manuever, he ponders something that is dismissed as breifly as his attention span. Chuckling to himself he holds Ironhide's head at Optics-level and quietly utters<br />
\&quot;Alas, poor Ironhide, I knew him well...\&quot; Smirking,<br />
\&quot;Well? Well, I hardly knew him, but who's keeping track?\&quot; Looking over at Soundbyte, who seemed busy with her own inner thinkings, he inserts his hands into Ironhide's lifeless mouth. Moving the jaw up and down, he begins a poor imitation of the fallen Autobots speech patterns.<br />
\&quot;Hawh, A'hm ArhnHawhd!!<br />
(Snickers.)<br />
Looks lawhk Ah got a little a...Hayd o' mahself.\&quot;<br />
(More snickering, a twisted<br />
smile.)<br />
Hmmm., Wandering over to a nearby boulder, he wrests free a chunk off of it and stuffs it into the mouth.<br />
\&quot;Mmmm, Yummy, Ah Lawhk eating rocks, Yum-um-um-ummy!\&quot;<br />
(More laughter.)</p>

<p>Soundbyte looks in his direction, hard to read what she was thinking, but it looked like mild irritation. Smiling sheepishly, he looked away.</p>

<p>He sees a glint behind a rock.</p>

<p>Well now. A stasis pod!! The serial insignia looks familiar, dare he hope?</p>

<p>Why yes, it just might be..,</p>

<p>\&quot;Suondbyte, ahem. Uhm, couldja come over here a cycle?\&quot; Ramming Ironhide's head onto the point of his Towhook, and tapping the stasis pod's hull eagerly.<br />
\&quot;I can have this old gal up and running in two shakes of a lamb-bot's tail. I think she may come in handy. I've worked with her before.\&quot;</p>

<p>Stepping aside to let Soundbyte get a look at the pod, he crosses his fingers out of veiw..,</p>

<p>Soundbyte examines the pod.</p>

<p>Soundbyte:\&quot;Yep this is one of ours allright! Stand back while i \&quot;Open her\&quot; up\&quot;. Soundbyte unlocks the stasis pod and it begins glow a bright white light.</p>

<p>The light within the stasis pod dimmed. What's this? At first it seemed empty, but a closer look revealed a shining masterpiece to Aluminus' optics. Yes this was the one, without a doubt, it was her.<br />
A faint musicbox melody rang faintly to his auditory receptors, entrancing him. &lt;Zzzzurn-CHIKT!&gt;????<br />
a pressure around his throat! He looked and saw her sitting up in her pod. He waved Soundbyte away to signal all was under control, he'd handle this.., With her hand still entrapping him, she slowly got out of her pod and stood, lifting him off the ground a few inches. \&quot;Identify!\&quot; she growled.</p>

<p>\&quot;.....Aluminus..,\&quot;</p>

<p>She scowled, evidently her optics had'nt adjusted yet, narrowing her gaze to two laser thin red gleams she then said, \&quot;Password!\&quot;<br />
(Password? Password, what was the password? Why did she require a password?)</p>

<p>Looking at her fully, his memory returned, ah..,<br />
\&quot;Spectra.\&quot;<br />
She snapped to attention and dropped him at her feet, saluted, then relaxed. He stood up slowly.</p>

<p>She smiled sweetly. \&quot;Oooh Aluminus! My Love, oh how I've missed you sooo..,\&quot;<br />
He could have almost blushed, then..<br />
\&quot;and what took you so long?\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus: \&quot;Heh, ahem, ah, Dear? This is Soundbyte. She's a friend.<br />
Soundbyte, Meet Shear Luna-C.\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear bowed politely, and offered her hand in greeting. Her prismatic coloration rendering her the color of the dust and stone around her. Aluminus smiled, this was going well, why the worry before? AK and SL listened as</p>

<p>Soundbyte breifed them on the mission,<br />
Aluminus adding to and translating some. Shear was all attention. Finally Shear looks to them both, quickly draws both her Chopperblades, smiles ferally and asks \&quot;So, when do I...we..begin?\&quot; &laquo;<br />
Aluminus beamed at Shear's enthusiasm.</p>

<p>He pondered and said \&quot;Hmm, well, with Soundbyte's release, I'd send you up to go on and meet with Skyscythe, as he will be you superior in the Airdivision.<br />
As your form dictates, so you shall serve.\&quot;<br />
Shear smiled \&quot;Birds of a feather?\&quot;<br />
Aluminus nodded, \&quot;Shall flock together.\&quot; he completed.</p>

<p>She saluted, crouched, flipped backwards and in an instant assumed her Jetcopter mode. She rise up a bit and hovered above him.</p>

<p>Aluminus tapped his wrist to signal her to open her comm-channel.<br />
[\&quot;Kzzt! This will also be a good time to test out your longrange communication systems.\&quot;]</p>

<p>Shear rose up further turned from him, then boosted up and away.<br />
[\&quot;Aluminus? What...or who am I looking for up there?\&quot;]</p>

<p>[\&quot;Skyscythe is a seeker, you'll know him by sight.\&quot;]</p>

<p>She spotted a flying vehicle of some sort off to her left and veered 90 degrees towards it.<br />
[\&quot;Seeker?\&quot;]</p>

<p>Aluminus shrugged.<br />
[\&quot;You see it? Him? Make your approach then once identity is confirmed, well, be a Dear and introduce yourself.\&quot;]</p>

<p>[\&quot;Dear? (Pfft!) Dear me again, I'll strafe you, AL.\&quot;]</p>

<p>[\&quot;Point, but please....stop calling me that\&quot;]</p>

<p>[\&quot;Affirmative...AL-Luminus Switching channels for the meet and greet.\&quot;]</p>

<p>Aluminus grumbled, but could'nt help but to smile. He gives Soundbyte a thumbs-up (Y).</p>

<p>Meanwhile high above the ground, Shear drew closer to the aircraft in her sight.</p>

<p>[\&quot;Attention, uh, ahem, Seeker Skyscythe, this is Decepticon Air recon and all around problem snuffer, Shear Luna-C reporting for duty.., I'm from one of your stasis pods and I'm battle ready! \&quot;]</p>

<p>She awaits a response from the aircraft as she draws alongside it.</p>

<p>Aluminus glances at his hookmounted Ironhide head, perched on his shoulder. Fiddling with it's jaw mechanism. \&quot;Thayt Shear galbot makes mawh circuits sizzle!\&quot; Bits of rock fall from it's mouth...,</p>

<p>Skyscythe hears over his comm system Shear's call.</p>

<p>SKyscythe:\&quot;Glad to have u on board Shear. Now where going for the element of suprise for when the attackers come. So i want u to follow me.\&quot;</p>

<p>Skyscythe fliess foward some more while Shear matches him in speed. SKyscythe transforms mid-air and acknowledges Shear to do so as well.</p>

<p>Skyscythe:\&quot;Ok see that Volcano over there above the ark. Well were gonna go hide there and when the others arrive were gonna blast out and start shooting.\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear:\&quot;All right then lets go.\&quot;<br />
They transform and go to the volcano's mouth. Getting there in less than 2 mins.</p>

<p>Shear lands silently and retracts her propellors to standbye blades, followed by Skyscythe.<br />
Ignoring Skyscythe to run to Aluminus, she smiles \&quot;I found him!\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus, shares the smile,<br />
\&quot;So you did.\&quot;</p>

<p>She looks over at Skyscythe<br />
\&quot;He seems like an okay Decepticon, he's our Leader?\&quot;</p>

<p>AK: \&quot;Nooo, a bot named Soultron is who's in charge. He's a flyer, like you and Skyscythe.\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear frowned a little<br />
\&quot;All that airpower, you sure you're gonna be okay on the ground?\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus winks<br />
\&quot;Suuure..I got Soundbyte here for backup.\&quot;</p>

<p>SHear's face goes grim \&quot;That's what I'm worried about. :|\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;It's nothing like that! She's an ally in battle, nothing more. You know I only have Optics for you ! My Dear I Prize all parts of you..,\&quot; Shear stepped back</p>

<p>\&quot;Nuh-uh, you aint using me for surplus parts. If anyone's doing the scrapping it's ME!!\&quot;</p>

<p>(Gulp.)<br />
Shear walked towards where Skyscythe and Soundbyte stood. Aluminus stood back a bit, looked to the Ironhide head impaled on his hoisting hook.</p>

<p>\&quot;Odd she still has'nt noticed you, my headstrong friend, hahaha.\&quot; Yammering the jaw \&quot;When're we gonna start bustin' Decepti-chops?\&quot; Resuming a more serious mood he too joins the group in planning. &laquo;</p>

<p>As he walked up, both Skyscythe and Shear suddenly transformed and jettted up hill from their position. () Aluminus walks up, puzzled.<br />
Suondbyte explains the attack plan both flyers are going to act upon. \&quot;They plan to use the mouth of the Volcano as their personal flashpoint.\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus shuddered and prayed Shear was over her Pyrophobia.</p>

<p>Even though the Incident that caused it gave her a resistance to further harm of that type, he still worried for her sanity, and for Skyscythe as well. He was gonna be around her when...if..if it happens. Assuming a good vantage point for his attack point, he opens a channel to Shear's receiver. He hears her singing! Oh no..,</p>

<p>[\&quot;Shear! SHEAR! Listen to me, okay? You've got to ...try to...<br />
(Try to what?)<br />
try to transmute whatever anxiety you're feeling to focus, battlereadiness.\&quot;]<br />
He could almost feel an icy calmness come over her. Then, in a voice a sweet as honey, but laced with poison.</p>

<p>[\&quot;Aluminusss, hahaha, as soon as this little battle starts, I'm bursting out guns blazing. I no longer Burn, I Rock and Roll!\&quot;]</p><div class="sig"></div>&quot;

To: 	AluminusKann 	 (3 of 19) </p>
 	
<p>&gt;This part seems to expand on character development I was trying and the beginnings of the chance for these two new members to really prove themselves.</p>

<p>Shear stood on the ledge, looking down at the red glow of the dormant volcano. She was hypnotized by the lazy red glow and the soothing rumble of this great earthen beast at her feet. Pity they had nothing quite like this on Cybertron.</p>

<p>She saw her commlite blink twice. She looked over at Skyscythe, who tapped his wrist rapidly. She nods.<br />
[\&quot;This is Aluminus Kann and Soundbyte, groundlevel. We're secure down here, mouth o' the cave, no signs of hostiles. How're you two holding up?\&quot;]</p>

<p>Skyscythe nods, gives her the thumbs-up. SHe smiles<br />
[\&quot;Al, we're doing just fine weapons primed and charged? Same here, now with that out of the way, how about radiosilence? We can't stay concealed with you yammering away every four cycles!\&quot;]</p>

<p>Switching off her radio she rests.</p>

<p>She sits.</p>

<p>She draws her knees close.</p>

<p>She folds her arms in front of her.</p>

<p>She rests her head on her arms, then she begins to sing, rocking slightly to the melody.</p>

<p>Aluminus leaned up against the cave wall. Rifle holstered, blade sheathed, hoistline and hook reeled in and headlaser convertting to Holoprojection.<br />
Letting his thoughts wander, he found himself veiwing a piece of his past.</p>

<p>{\&quot;Aluminus, I know you hate doing the menial stuff. It seems like chores running errands for the Autobots, but believe me, we're making a difference!\&quot;}</p>

<p>{\&quot;Moonshear, don't you get tired of following the lead of weakminded, doomed to be destroyed Autobot egotists? Can't you see for once, if there's anything to be done in this war that makes any real difference, it involves more than hiding and stockpiling?\&quot;}</p>

<p>{\&quot;Aluminus, by slowly preparing and readying matters, we act on and carry out a more perfected plan. This fuel we're loading up...what's that smell? It's....Aluminus Where are you going\&quot;}</p>

<p>(He never looked back, he ran, he barely dodged the resulting blast furnace. Only when he stopped to rest he saw her. She. No, it could'nt be! It was.)</p>

<p>(Rising from the fires a crystal pheonix, catching the glow of the flames below her and glowing more intensely because of it, laughing maniacally. Then she landed, Aluminus ran up. Something in her from day had changed forever more. She fell into his arms.)</p>

<p>(He held her for a moment, feeling a sense of guilt. This once form of beauty now twisted and tragically sculpted to it's own natural design. Hearing an Autobot rescue team roll up, he threw her over his shoulder, transformed and rolled to his salvage yard.)</p>

<p>(He'd fix her, Yes, then he'd fix them all. Both the weak and overphilosophical Autobots and the rash and unorganizeded Decepticons, would feel their combined might.)</p>

<p>Aluminus switched off his holoprojector, and dropped his gaze to the floor, and sighed.</p>

<p>Life was too short to dwell on past mishaps, and who knew how short his or Shear's lives were going to be?</p>

<p>At that moment, both he and Shear looked up and thought the same thing.</p>

<p>{\&quot;Let's just live to see tomorrow, then we'll think on today, along with all our other yesterdays, tomorrow.\&quot;}</p>

<p>Soultron flew up from inside the volcano and perched himself upon the ledge. His gazed focused on the giant ship headed towards the surface. It appeared to be several kilometers from their position and coming in quickly. Soultron's communicator signaled as a small node erected from his arm.</p>

<p>\&quot;Lord Soultron.\&quot; Skyscythe's voice signaled through the communicator. \&quot;Status?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Shockwave's warship has been neutralized per your request. How did you know they would come sir?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;I will enlighten you some day. For now, prepare to draw their fire. They will launch a counter attack as soon as they detect us. I am picking up more signals here. I'm assuming your pods fell?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Yes sir.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Good, the odds will be in our favor. Attack on my signal.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Aye sir, Skyscythe out.\&quot;</p>

<p>Just as the Decepticons began to mobilize another flurry of fire dug into the wreckage of the Decepticon flagship.</p>

<p>Skyscythe, Soundbyte, Aluminus and Shear began engaging the Decepticons forces in hit and run tactics in attempt to draw the main forces away from Shockwave. \&quot;Decepticons! Take cover, we have lost the advantage! Regroup!\&quot; Shockwave and a contingency of Decepticons fled the wreckage as Skyscythe dropped several cluster bombs on the battered hull.</p>

<p>*******<br />
Soultron found himself surrounded by a void.<br />
Use it<br />
Soultron looked at the matrix.<br />
We are one now.<br />
\&quot;Yes, we are Soultron&amp;hellip;\&quot;<br />
Show them Pain<br />
**********</p>

<p>Aluminus' mind raced. Shear and Skyscythe had taken flight from the mouth of the volcano, transformed and were off. Aluminus and Soundbyte nodded and acted upon their agreed-upon plan.</p>

<p>A Seeker flew overhead, firing wildly, causing the ground around them to explode. Soundbyte transformed and signalled rapidly for Aluminus to be at ready.<br />
She let loose a terrific blast of sonic energy which almost shook Aluminus from his stance.</p>

<p>He shook off the effects and launched his hoistingline. The hook, tipped with Ironhide's head seemed to have startled the Decepticon in midair as surely as the sound had stunned him!</p>

<p>Ensnaring the stunned Decepticon, he brutally tugged it to the ground. Snarling, he drew his photon blade and charged at the fallen robot. It gasped and rolled out of his swinging arc, suffering only an external nick that surprised more than harmed it.</p>

<p>\&quot;Slag it, hold still and Die! Die with some honor, you miserable pile of parts!\&quot;</p>

<p>He swung again, decapitating it. No time to revel in this small victory. There was more of this battle to be fought if they ever expected a favorable outcome.</p>

<p>Shear looped, dove, flipped, swirled practically danced around the incoming firepower from the Decepticon pursuing her. Skyscythe seemed busy with his own opponent.</p>

<p>She swooped up, blocking her adversary's veiw of the sun, eclipsing and mirroring it. Seeming as bright as it to his sensors, he never saw her transform and drop on him, locking her arm around his nosecone. With her other arm, she spun her chopperblades, and lowered them, sawing off one wing. She let him go to crash, blew a kiss, then transformed and flew off to pepper the air in front of her with a wide arc of turbine-shuriken charges. Hopefully she'd have a few more kills from this manuever.</p>

<p>Skyscythe was doing well. His experience in the field stood him in good stead. He utilized every method he'd learned and a few made up \&quot;on the fly\&quot;.<br />
One question seemed to pull at him though.<br />
\&quot;How long can we keep this up?\&quot;</p>

<p>On the ground level, Aluminus had repeated the same trick with varying degrees of success, using Soundbyte's Sonic Booms to down opponents while he savaged their metal frames with Blade, Gun, Headlaser, Fists and Feet, but he was tiring.</p>

<p>He spied another stunned Decepticon, transformed and trying to stand.</p>

<p>Aluminus transformed, drove, charged and rammed him off his feet, then assumed robot form and pounced him!</p>

<p>This robot put up more of a fight, either that or Aluminus' exhaustion was catching up to him. He caught a fist to his face, knocking him off the enemy. Sitting up suddenly, he fired both his headmounted laser and rifle, holing the Decepticon straight through in the head and chest. He slipped behind a rock face to rest up a bit, this was the most strenuous workout he'd had in Eons.</p>

<p>\&quot;Ah, for the days of slow, subtle and stressfree sabotage..,\&quot;</p>

<p>Skyscythe was being chased by 2 Seeker jets. He slowed just a touch so the jets could think thye had him.<br />
He transformed mid-air.</p>

<p>He turned slowly to attack. The 2 jets shot at him. He let his midsection take the brunt, as he had increased his shielding in that section.</p>

<p>While the seekers reloaded. Skyscythe crossed his arms and grapped at his wingtips.</p>

<p>He pulled metal shards he kept three and threw them at the seekers as he flew thru the middle of the 2.<br />
He stopped with his back to the seekers. He clicked his fingers and the shards began to blow up within their casing. They fell to awaiting Aluminus.</p>

<p>Skyscythe:\&quot;Aluminus I have 2 packages for ya!\&quot;</p>

<p>Meanwhile...............<br />
Soundbyte began pressing dials on her arm. The virus within Teletran One begin to do its work. At the Ark....................</p>

<p>Teletrans Viewscreen.<br />
\&quot;Main Guns, and Torpedo Launchers 2 Mins to Power Up\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus having rested a nanocycle, refreshed and ready to kick taligate appeared from behind a rockpile.</p>

<p>\&quot;Howdy Bots! Why dont you relax and stay awhile?\&quot; He fired his headlaser at, one holing it's torso, it fired, grazing his shoulder armor. He stumbled back. It fell over lifeless, smoking from it's new but totally fatal ventilation duct, installed courtesy of Aluminus.</p>

<p>She scanned the ground action.</p>

<p>Aluminus is hit!! She frantically bore down on the scene below her. She transformed and dropped like a spider behind a Decepticon, whipdrew her chopperblade and rammed it right through the enemybot's back until the bladetip erupted out it's chestplate!</p>

<p>She snarled and fired a few energy shuriken into it's prone form then glared at Aluminus! :|<br />
\&quot;You'd better sharpen up and get your core processor battle-prepped! I won't be here to save your metal hide next time you slip up!\&quot; With that harsh remark, she flew up and rejoined Skyscythe in taking out airborne opposition.</p>

<p>Aluminus smiled<br />
{She's beautiful when she's enraged. She's loving this battle, as an Autobot she never lived for this amount of violence. Now she drinks it in as if it were the spilled fuel of her enemies intoxicating her.}</p>

<p>Aluminus frowned</p>

<p>{Still, when all the fighting is done, assuming we survive this will there be much left to her but the anger?}</p>

<p>{and how long will it be...before she remembers what forces recreated her? Will she then know the true architect of her fatal design?}</p>

<p>Aluminus hoped not.</p>

<p>He turned his worries over to secondary mental proccesses and signalled Soundbyte to let loose another sonic attack and readied his hoisting hook to reel in another winner..,</p>

<p>Aluminus begins to hear a rumble coming from the mountain.</p>

<p>Soundbyte:\&quot;That the arks weapons shooting thru the mountain rock. I put a virus into the weapons systems to shoot everyone except us!\&quot;</p>

<p>&gt;Note: Tiretrack was a robot who joined the group later, she's a minibot that turns into a little sports car, alot like CLiffjumper.<br />
SHe's partnered with a Larger robot named Outflyer, who turns into large fighter plane.&lt;</p>

<p>ALuminus on his commlink:\&quot;Tiretrack?, Shear and Skyscythe if ur in the air, we got some backup from the ark Courtesy of Soundbyte.\&quot; The rumble gets louder and louder until the weapons break through and start to shoot Decepticons.<br />
Missiles and Lassers create a criss cross maze in the air. At Teletran.........</p>

<p>Weapons Energy Dipleted in Ten Mins. Send Explorer for forms of energy. The Explorer sattelite goes out and looks for energy to use. He returns back quickly.</p>

<p>Teletrans View Screen.....<br />
\&quot;NEW ENERGY FOUND\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;ENERGY DEPLETION IN 8 MINS\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;BEGIN ABSORBTION OF VOLCANIC ENERGY<br />
AFTER DEPLETION OF CURRENT ENERGY\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus looked up at the sky ablaze with Teletran's ship gun's firings. \&quot;Shear, Even though Teletran's guns were told not to shoots us, think you'd better fly on down here so as notto get hit!\&quot; Shear swooped and did an elegant ramped up U-turn in the air.</p>

<p>\&quot;Aaawh hahahaha, I'm having fun! I dont even have to fire at them anymore, just lead them to their deaths!\&quot; Aluminus shrugged<br />
{Okay have it your way..,}<br />
waited till she was within range and fired his hoisting hook up and caught her by one of her struts and began to tow her down.</p>

<p>\&quot;Shear, this is for your own safety.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Wha-WhY ARE YOU DOING THAT? STOP IT!!!\&quot; She abruptly stopped her descent and rose up. Aluminus' feet lost contact with the ground!</p>

<p>\&quot;Oooh noooo!!!!!\&quot;<br />
Now he finds himself suspended 100's of feet in the air, being skyswung by a reckless helicopter!</p>

<p>He curled up into a ball, drawing all his limbs together. Then Shear proceeded to use him as a wrecking ball, knocking down airborne Decepticons left and right.</p>

<p>A good idea, but after awhile this is gonna start to really hurt....</p>

<p>Shear swooped up, using Aluminus' curled up form as a large airborne fist for an uppercut that knocked two seeker's wings off, they frantically transformed and flew in robot form at them. Aluminus' peered from between his shielding arms and saw them in pursuit.</p>

<p>\&quot;Shear? You can drop me off here. I think I can catch a ride.\&quot;<br />
\&quot;You sure?\&quot;<br />
\&quot;Ye__\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear released his hook before he could finish saying. Now he fell. This has to be accurate or not at all. This had to be well done or he was finished. This had to be....</p>

<p>&lt;KLANK!&gt;</p>

<p>..the weirdest manuever he' ever attempted, suddenly sitting astride a confused but still flying seekerjet! He wound his hoisting line tightly around it while it struggled to shake him off. Aluminus then peeled back a panel behind teh cockpit and began pulling wires out.</p>

<p>Suddenly the jet lost power!! NOw he had to act fast, faster than the ground coming up at them. he replugged in two wires, only two and twisted the other two into braided levers to toggle relays. Yessssss.....,</p>

<p>Now he had himself a flying vehicle!!</p>

<p>A Non-transforming totally manueverable and armed, but cussing him out something fierce flying platform.</p><div class="sig"></div>&quot;

To: 	AluminusKann 	 (4 of 19) </p>

<p>&gt;Here we're adding a new member to our merry little band, a bot like none other. something to spice up the battle herein significantly!&lt;</p>

<p>Mastering the controls for his new mode of travel was way easier than he thought, it was the griping the captured seeker was emitting that was the downside.<br />
\&quot;You wont get away with this.\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus groaned elaborately and said<br />
\&quot;Get some new material, willya?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;I'm serious, Cretin! Once Shockwave..\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Once what? Huh I cant hear you, you're breaking up.\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus recklessly shook the captured jet in midair, scaring it needlessly.</p>

<p>\&quot;Wha? What in slag are you doing?\&quot;</p>

<p>Laughing mischeivously, he waved at Shear.</p>

<p>She flew alongside. \&quot;Aluminus, who's your friend?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;I never got his name. Say, what IS your name?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;...updraft..,\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Up what? hahaha What a silly name! Okay Updraft, we're gonna land, ready?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;??\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus toggled his handmade wing-relays to force the jet into a steep decline to the earth below. Shear followed. \&quot;Hahahaha, wheeee!!\&quot;</p>

<p>The Seeker screamed in fear as suddenly, Aluminus kicked off the plumetting jet and leaped up to catch Shear's struts.<br />
&lt;Klank&gt;<br />
safe he hung like a spider, grinning evilly.<br />
Shear slowed and descended.</p>

<p>Transforming, she let Aluminus take a short drop to the ground and landed facing away from him. She looked up and saw decreasing aerial activity. It was entrancing, all that firepower above her. Powerful, beautiful..,</p>

<p>{I shall remake you, more powerful and beautiful than ever..,}</p>

<p>She shook her head, were her auditories malfunctioning? Aluminus walked over to the smashed up remnants of his borrowed and wrecked transportation. Now he was in robot mode and groaning , sparking and sizzling..,</p>

<p>\&quot;Updraft? Can you hear me? Good I'll just assume you can.\&quot; Aluminus grabbed the weakened robot by the faceplate and said \&quot;I'm gonna make the deal of your lifetime, cause if you refuse, you die!\&quot;</p>

<p>Behind him, Shear glared at the fallen warrior, and winked. Her cackling haunted and maddened the captor, who put his hands to his coreprocessors and screamed silently..,</p>

<p>A Nightmare was unfolding..,</p>

<p>&gt;At this point, Soultron had beaten the stuffing righ out of Shockwave, the killer of his lover, Nocturna, back on Cybertron, but he's still feeling unsettled, is it all that anger within? The matrix's influence? Or my bad narrating?&lt;</p>

<p>Soultron stood above the fluid stained rocks and marveled at the remains of his former commander. Shockwave's body had become, for the brief time in its existence, the vessel by which he had channeled hatred unlike any he had felt before.</p>

<p>However, even though Shockwave's spark had long since fled from this plane of existence, Soultron's fury was still not satisfied.<br />
I will destroy them all&hellip;<br />
Two explosions rocked Soultron forward causing him to tumble among the rocks. Shootdown and Sonicboom landed in front of him. \&quot;Well, well, the great Soultron&hellip;\&quot; Shootdown smirked as he raised his weapons.</p>

<p>\&quot;And now its time to introduce him to the new order.\&quot; Sonicboom stated as he doused Soultron with laser fire.<br />
\&quot;Seekers! Terminate him!\&quot;</p>

<p>A small squadron of seekers flew overhead and fired into Soultron's chest. The mighty Decepticon buckled as the shots pierced his chest. Smoke escaped through his mouth as his body blackened and hit the ground.</p>

<p>\&quot;So much for Soultron. Now we take care of the others.\&quot; The group took to the sky and headed towards Soultron's companions. &laquo;</p>

<p>Updraft could have sobbed and teared up if he had the parts to. The Ugly Green/Gray/Black TruckBot and his Helicopterring Whacked-out Fembot counterpart were either going to break him or break him apart. What was there he could really do? He agreed to his terms, only hoping what came afterwards was'nt worse than death itself.</p>

<p>He (Zaapppt) was forcefully powered down.</p>

<p>Flashes, Glimpses, Memories, old, new, then, now, where, when..., An image flared up in his core processor, a black space that shone like Obsidian in a dark cave.</p>

<p>\&quot;Uuupdraafft, Awaken, hahaha..,\&quot;<br />
The Obsidian wall became a rectangle, a visor, on a sneering face. \&quot;...I got plans for you. One, I am your Master. Two, you shall serve who I serve. Three, you are now remade, any and all parts of Updraft and the bot he was are.. NO MORE!! hahaha.\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus threw Updraft over his shoulder and ran to cover. Shear laid out some cover fire courtesty of her Energy charged Turbine Shuriken.</p>

<p>\&quot;Aluminus!! We got more approaching hostiles!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Grrr.. 'Bots or 'Cons??\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Not sure, actually hahahaha depends on which way you're facing! hahaa\&quot;</p>

<p>She fired off more rounds. Aluminus shook his head, either she was'nt making much sense or they were in a bit of a pickle.</p>

<p>\&quot;Well Shear, let's get us positioned for defense. I'll call up Soultron and Skyscythe, Soundbyte anyone. and You? Rename this sorry bucket of bolts.\&quot;<br />
He dropped Updraft in the ground unceremoniously.<br />
[KLANG!]<br />
\&quot;He's gonna be our firstborn, hahahahahaaaa.\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear kneeled down and caressed the faceplate of the unconscious Seeker. They were going to rebuild him, make him more...powerful, beautiful..like a....,</p>

<p>\&quot;TEMPEST!\&quot;</p>

<p>Updraft's/Tempest's optics flickered to life. He slowly stood up, growling like beast, hungry for battle.</p>

<p>\&quot;Skyscythe Here, to everyone on our side.<br />
Soultron is down, i don't know how bad he his, but he has destroyed Shockwave. All that left are his flunkies the Seekers.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Shear I want you to join me in the sky. We can take these seekers head on.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Soundbyte, use you connection to the virus you put in Teletran to see if you can fine tune The Ark weaponary system to calibrate for the seekers speed. Aluminus You cover for her while she does that.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;NOW TEAM GO!\&quot;<br />
Skyscythe blasts off to face the seekers. He transforms into jet mode and supercharges his front nose cone. He pummels throught 2 seekers Destroying them.<br />
The other seekers Gather around.</p>

<p>Skyscythe begins to insult them so that will fight with anger and irrationally.</p>

<p>\&quot;You are no match for me. I am above you seekers. I AM A SEEKER ELITE!\&quot;<br />
Shootdown and Sonicboom, You two are the weakest, you could fight Lord Soultron yourself, but you had to get your lackeys here to do it for you.\&quot; Skyscythe waits for the first move and awaits Shear's Arrival.</p>

<p>Shootdown and Sonicboom hover in front of Skyscythe.</p>

<p>\&quot;My my, such strong words from a seeker elite&hellip;\&quot;<br />
Shootdown raised his fists. \&quot;But your lord Soultron is dead and you will now join him.\&quot; A flurry of flames spewed forth from Shootdown's fists. \&quot;Die!\&quot;</p>

<p>Skyscythe: \&quot;Such a predictable response.\&quot;</p>

<p>Skyscythe Raises his shields to their fullest and forms an invisible barrier in front of him.<br />
The flames approach and hit the barrier and stop there.</p>

<p>Skyscythe:\&quot;I think its my turn to show you what it Means to be a seeker.\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear shrieked gle</p>&quot;

<p>&gt;ANd the battle progresses with a surprise cliffhanger at the end of this chapter that you wont beLIEVE!&lt;</p>

<p>SKyscythe Holds his shields up as he prepares for the assault. The first missiles bombared his shields.<br />
They injure him in his leg.<br />
\&quot;These shields aren't gonna hold.\&quot;</p>

<p>Skyscythe flies off towards the nearest seekers. He puts all his enrgy into his speed. He Flies behind two seekers as the Missiles bombared the seekers.<br />
A thought hit. I can use my EMP Shot. It will drain my gun, but it will have to do.</p>

<p>SKyscythe:\&quot;A Highly endangering move from you SHootdown, thtas something i would have done. But u will have to do better than that to defeat me. And what are you doing Sonicboom. Are you his Silent Advisor? Eat This.\&quot;</p>

<p>Skyscythe raises his sword and turns it. he locks in the handle on his forearm. He gets his EMP gun out and fires some shots in the direction of Rage and the others.</p>

<p>He then rushes forward with the sword in his arm, to do a slash attack. &laquo;</p>

<p>&gt;At this time Tiretrack and Outflyer are evacuating the wreckage and go to join up with Soultron;s forces.&lt;</p>

<p>Shootdown dodged the incoming emp pulse and dove towards his aggressor. Snonicboom moved away from the other pulses as they hit the remaining seekers.<br />
\&quot;Silence is a quality you'll soon possess..\&quot;</p>

<p>Sonicboom flew up behind Skyscythe as he charged towards Shootdown. \&quot;Bid my regards to Primus.\&quot; Sonicboom took aim and was about to end the existence of the renegade seeker when something rammed him in the back. \&quot;Grrarararah!\&quot;<br />
\&quot;Arrrgh!\&quot; sonicboom reeled in pain as he spiraled towards the ground.</p>

<p>Skyscythe rushed forward as well blade raised in a striking and defensive mode.</p>

<p>Skyscythe and Shootdown began to get closer and closer. If one of the did not stop soon they were going to ram into each other. It was a contest of strength, courage and willpower</p>

<p>Taking advantage of stunned prey ensures the survival of most predators, and Shear wasnt one to let opportunity knock and run. After seeing Tempest ran and transform to savagely beat the backplates off the Seeker he scented earlier. She transformed, drew her chopperblade/swords and hovered beneath to catch the rapidly descending Seeker in a whirling blur of dismemberment.</p>

<p>Slag, Sonicboom stopped in midair! Flying up she saw her ever so narrow window of attack closing as he regained his senses.</p>

<p>\&quot;Seeker Drone! Lowly slave to the fallen Shockwave! Surrender to the forces of Soultron or taste the inferno of my righteous fury!!\&quot; Sonicboom looked at her and smiled.</p>

<p>\&quot;HaAaAaRrrGgh!!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Tempest, stand down. Await my command to strike.\&quot;</p>

<p>Tempest nods and transforms to hover near Sonicboom, vaguely remembering him from somewhere. Tempest starts to smile for who knows what reason. He/it growls and points to SOnicboom's face then his own.</p>

<p>Shear started to worry, how much would/could he remember of his past? d**n, was'nt Aluminus some kinda hotshot programmer? This slapdash scrapmech he'd reformatted was doing REAL good right about now. She didnt know who to shoot first.</p>

<p>\&quot;TEMPEST! RESTRAIN HIM! Hold him still for me! I'm gonna blow out his C.P.U.! No, of course I wont hit you. I'm a very good aim, now do as I say!\&quot;<br />
Tempest began to comply.</p>

<p>Shear took aim.</p>

<p>Aluminus busied himself on the ground front. A Seeker strafed his position! HE had to smile, this was going to be fun. Putting aside thoughts of Shear and her new, but possibly unstable counterpart, he ran out and transformed.</p>

<p>\&quot;TIME TO TASTE DESTRUCTION, FLYBOT!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;You think!!\&quot;</p>

<p>It swooped again, lower this time.<br />
This tiem around it wound up in a near collision with a large red and white Aerospace Jet!</p>

<p>\&quot;What the??\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;&lt;Cease all hostilities!&gt;\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Identify yourself or be blown to shrapnel!\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus wasnt feeling particularly creative at this point. It was enough work coming up with a giant hologram of a Seeker, Mega Class. Now he had to name it? To the pits with that. He emerged from hiding, firing every weapon on his frame. He had to keep this bot away from Sondbyte.</p>

<p>Headmounted laser scored a shot, holing it's chest and his rifle fired the seeker's head to glowing bits.<br />
(What's this?)<br />
Sensors were picking up more mechanized activity off in the distance! It corresponded to neither Decepticon nor Autobot energon signatures! Did the Natives of this dirtball possess robots and other mechanized weaponry of their own??</p>

<p>\&quot;Soundbyte, suggest evasive and elusive positioning, we may have party-crashers! Skyscythe, uhm, at your earliest convenience, tell me what you can see from up there. I'm picking up numerous approach signals. Shear? Let Tempest\&quot;~{BOOM!}</p>

<p>Aluminus fell, stunned and missing an arm...,</p>

<p>Soundbyte turned to look at Aluminus.</p>

<p>Soundbyte:\&quot;I'll be with you in a sec Aluminus, let me just finishing a bit mor tweaking to my virus......and done.\&quot;</p>

<p>The Weapons of the ark now fire more accurately at their designated targets, missing Soultron's team.</p>

<p>Soundbyte goes over to Aluminus. She gets down and picks up the rest of his arm.<br />
Shots begin to fire in their direction from the new sources of destruction and the seekers above.<br />
Soundbyte puts her palms in the air and creates a sound shield around her and aluminus.</p>

<p>Soundbyte:\&quot;there that will help until i get u fixed up. This won't take long to fix.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Sometimes I feel like letting go&amp;hellip;\&quot;<br />
\&quot;And if you did?\&quot;<br />
\&quot;I feel helpless.\&quot;<br />
\&quot;You have the strength within you. You have to fight it.\&quot;<br />
Soultron found himself floating in an abyss, cold and alone. His metal structure reflected decay and age as he tumbled aimlessly in the darkness.</p>

<p>\&quot;All of this pain. I want it to end. Optimus&amp;hellip;\&quot; Suddenly a chill rushed over him as the presence of Optimus faded and something more sinister took its place.</p>

<p>\&quot;It will never end Soultron, your pain must be satisfied. And so must mine.\&quot;</p>

<p>His body arched as the electro-synthesis began to bring life throughout the blackened metal.</p>

<p>Tiretrack stood a short distance away watching the battle in awe and terror as the alien forces engaged her friends. Without Soultron this endeavor was hopeless. They would soon be defeated by the Decepticons and returned to the smelting pools on Cybertron. \&quot;Do not fear Tiretrack. Our time is here.\&quot;</p>

<p>Tiretrack looked up at the strange figure that stood next to her. \&quot;Who&amp;hellip;\&quot; She started to ask, but her auditory system fell silent. She could only watch as Soultron glared up at the burning sky. \&quot;And their time is over.\&quot;<br />
&gt;During all this time Soultron restores and finds the fatally wounded body of a smaller autobot named Fender, and using the power of the new Dark Matrix within him heals her wounds, but forever damns her to a path of darkness by warping the fabric of her soul.&lt;</p>

<p>As Shootdown spiraled towards Skyscythe, he ignited his flame cannons allowing his outer structure to be covered in an intense heat. \&quot;Burn in the inferno traitor!\&quot; Flames spewed forth from Shootdown as he became terrifying weapon of fire.</p>

<p>Sonicboom shook his head in disbelief. \&quot;You'll be the death of us all Shootdown&amp;hellip;\&quot; He looked back at the natives attacking the rest of Soultron's forces.</p>

<p>\&quot;Interesting. They may finish the job for us.\&quot; He noticed one of the female Decepticons taking aim at him. \&quot;And what do you think you're doing?\&quot;<br />
Instantly Sonicboom took position close to Shear. \&quot;Here is some advice, aim only at what you can hit.\&quot; Sonicboom raised his weapon upon Shear and fired.</p>

<p>Soultron and Outflyer flew overhead of the Ark's gravesite, quickly discovering the band of autobots making their way to the entrance of the Ark.</p>

<p>\&quot;The fools, what do they hope to find in there?\&quot; Soultron dove down towards the warriors and landed on the outer hull of the Ark. The Autobots stopped dead in their tracks. Fear. Pain. Despair. All of these emotions filled them as they saw the figure of a Transformer they had hoped they'd never see again.</p>

<p>\&quot;Greetings Autobots, I am Soultron and I believe I have something you lost.\&quot;<br />
Anger shot through them all as he held out the body of Fender.</p>

<p>It took a nanosecond for Aftershock to transform and Tekbat and Xcessor to pull their weapons, all of them targeting Soultron and Outflyer.</p>

<p>Headrush could only stand there, helplessly, and stare at the broken and limp body of Fender. She didn't seem as damaged as she had before, but her metal casing was still cracked and broken in places. Her optics were gray...lifeless aside from the occasional glimmer.</p>

<p>Aftershock's turret targeted Soultron and the Seeker, his missiles ready to fire. \&quot;Give the word, Headrush, and--\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Hold your fire.\&quot;</p>

<p>Tekbat was the first to dispute. \&quot;I didn't just hear that. Headrush, they've got Fender!\&quot; He pleaded.</p>

<p>\&quot;I know, and she'll be all over the cavern in pieces if we attack.\&quot; Headrush warned.</p>

<p>He stopped to calm his voice<br />
- filled with pain and anger<br />
- and motioned his hand down.<br />
\&quot;Hold your fire and lower your weapons.\&quot;<br />
His Autobots complied, and he turned back to Soultron with a sigh. \&quot;What do you want from us?\&quot;</p>

<p>Soultron could not help but smile upon the helpless Autobots. They outnumbered him and could easily overpower him with numbers alone, but because of an inherent flaw within all Transformers of their kind he had the advantage. They were weak and having such a deficiency meant Soultron had the advantage, no matter what.</p>

<p>\&quot;Come now, I am not here to obliterate the last of your kind. On the contrary, your precious Autobot is alive because of me. Your friend Fender, will recover after more repairs are made to her, but her life signs are stable. Why do I come here to aid you? It is an unavoidable circumstance given the choices we have made. I stand against the Decepticon army and though I show no favoritism to the Autobot cause, I would be willing to extend a temporary cease in hostilities until our current situation is resolved. In other words, I do not wish to fight two wars now and it would be in your benefit to comply. However there is a condition to this proposal dear friends. I ask that you aid me in defeating the remnants of Shockwave's forces and I will allow you to reclaim Fender and repair Manticore without interference.\&quot; Soultron gazed upon the shattered Autobot leader.</p>

<p>\&quot;Such a pity Manticore, I had hoped to reunite with you on more even terms. So what will it be Autobots? Accept my offer or fight the final battle of your existence here in this mountain. The choice is yours.\&quot; &laquo;</p>

<p>\&quot;You don't give us much of a choice.\&quot; Hot Rod said dispairingly. Headrush nodded. While the young bot was rash and reckless at times, he knew when a situation called to make the most undesirable choice. He might make a fine leader one day, he thought. Headrush shook these thoughts away, there was no time for reflection or consideration. There was a battle to be won, and he needed to secure the safety of his troops. And the Ark.<br />
\&quot;Its agreed. Now...let us do what we need to do.\&quot; He said with a glare to Soultron. He outstretched his arms to receive Nova. \&quot;...Before we change our minds.\&quot;</p><div class="sig"></div>&quot;

<p>&gt;Wow what a chapter, the battle wraps up, an unlikely alliance is formed and a new battle approaches that is sure to rock botes of this confrontation!&lt;</p>

<p>Skyscythe Flew towards the uncoming Skootdown.<br />
\&quot;Prepare to taste steel.\&quot;<br />
Skyscythe threw his wingtips shards at Shootdown, targeting his flame cannons, and his upper body.<br />
The flames began to subside.</p>

<p>Shootdown and Skyscythe grapple in midair, Shootdown chokes on Skyscythe, bty Sky breaks free and reverses the hold til both are on a fatal deathlock.<br />
They each try to push each other using their jets at maximum speed.</p>

<p>Skyscythe:\&quot;....The harder...... -&gt;UMPH&lt;- ....I Push... -&gt;URN&lt;- .....Against<br />
You..... -&gt;MMP&lt;- ....The Harder.... -&gt;RNMP&lt;- ...You Push?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Precisely. Surrender Now before you hurt yourself.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Nope\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;What the?...\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;All i've done is use your own momentum against you by changing directions.\&quot;</p>

<p>Skyscythe and SHootdown begin to spiral down in the opposite direction towards the ground, near the ark's entrance.</p>

<p>Skyscthe\&quot;Its something i call \&quot;Physics\&quot;.\&quot;</p>

<p>They reach about 2o feet off the ground.</p>

<p>Skyscythe:\&quot;What i'm doing now as we head for the ground below...?, Its<br />
called \&quot;Praying\&quot;.\&quot;</p>

<p>They both hit the ground real hard in front of the arks entrance, causing a shockwave.&lt;no pun intended&lt;</p>

<p>&gt;Okay for the sake of space, Soultron grants the Autobots entrance into the crashed ark to repair themselves for the battle to comever the architect own fate, he seems callous in his regard of the Autobots shock and horror at the thrashed innards of the legendary vessel and it's crew. Headrush struggles against his own revulsion and hatred of Soultron, meanwhile keeping his own tops from reckless action against teh mysterious decepticon they had alll thought dead.&lt;&lt;</p>

<p>Shear's eyes flashed like twin suns. A powering up noise filled her ears as her frame rattled with potential violence.<br />
\&quot;Hit? HIT!?! Aim, Intend, HIT, DEST-R-R-R-R-ROY!!!\&quot;</p>

<p>Sonicboom paused, unconsciously drawing away. He caught himself withdrawing and corrected this not wanting to seem weak in front of this female Decepticon.</p>

<p>Shear stood still in air, then drew her chopperblades. She growled like a hungry lioness then pounced him, blades spinning at their fastest. She then activated her turbine shuriken lanchers and streaked at him, optics full of promise of destruction and the assurance that she did indeed plan to end this.</p>

<p>\&quot;KILL!! Wait? Kill.., Yessss, Why KILL, when I can take my time, DESTROYING YOU? After all, what fun is a dead target? RIGHT, TEMPEST?\&quot;</p>

<p>A whirring crunching noise that signalled Tempest's transformation sounded behind Sonicboom. He too charged, firing one armbased weaopn feebly, maybe just out of habit, mainly swinging his arms about one hand in a fist the other clawlike.<br />
\&quot;RrRrROoOoOAAAaaAaRrRrGggHH!!\&quot;</p>

<p>Outflyer left the Ark in search of the unexpected disturbance. With the auto defenses functioning at maximum power due to Soundbyte's programming no enemy forces should have been able to approach. However, the Autobots managed to get through, therefore something else might have. The molten pools around the Ark were now exposed to the battle worn surrounding and thus his initial search consisted of checking for smoldering remains.</p>

<p>\&quot;I don't like this. Too many surprises around here. First the natives interfere and now Autobots. Well if I find anymore, they'll have to recon with the mighty Outflyer.\&quot;<br />
&gt;Reminder: The humans have discovered the strange robots battling and may interfere with us?&lt;</p>

<p>He amused himself allowed as he carefully navigated the treacherous pitfalls. He neared what was once the burrowed entrance to the mountain and there he saw a few nanokliks away the bodies of Skyscythe and Shootdown. Skyscythe seemed functional as he attempted to rise from the ground. Shootdown appeared otherwise.</p>

<p>Outflyer ran over to his commander. \&quot;Sky, are you okay?\&quot;</p>

<p>A familiar shadow reached over and blanketed both Skyscythe and OUtflyer who both turned to view the source.</p>

<p>\&quot;So, here converge the traitors. Take me to Soultron or I'll destroy you both.\&quot; Darkwind raised one weapon at them while his other hand clutched his wound.</p>

<p>Sonicboom was surrounded. On either side destruction was eminent and these opponents were a few control cards short of a full mainframe. The Tempest creature could be dealt with easily, but the female Decepticon worried him. There was not much time to act. \&quot;I give you a choice Decepticon female, fight me or save your friend.\&quot;</p>

<p>With that, Sonicboom launched a magnetic bomb towards Tempest and flew off into the sky.</p>

<p>Soultron remained in the corner of the control room, silent and unmoved as the work continued on Manticore.<br />
\&quot;How much longer Autobots? Time is of the essence.\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear's charge missed it's mark, slag, must be getting old. She pulled up and powdered Sonicboom's retreat with energy shurikens. Problem with scattershot, though devastating at close range, it was decreased to nil against a retreating target.</p>

<p>[KLANK!]</p>

<p>\&quot;Tempest, drop that now!! It isnt a toy!\&quot;<br />
Tempest had caught a magnetic explosive of some sort! Eying the emblem on the nosecone of it, she deduced it was a parting gift from Sonicboom. Well, he's earned the name, carrying around munitions like that on him. Tempest was about to be renamed Falling-Chunks-Of-Stupid if he didnt quit drooling over his new toy. Shear thought and acted quickly.</p>

<p>Using the bottom of his cupped hand holding the bomb to cushion it from accidentally exploding, she kicked it up into the air and fired it to bits over their heads. Tempest looked up dreamily then back to her puzzled as a puppy as to what and why she did that. Shear pointed to him, made the shape of the bomb with her hands, then spread her arms out wide and whispered: \&quot;Boom!\&quot;<br />
Tempest's jaw almost dropped completely off in shock and awe. Aluminus would have to do some more work on that, Tempest did need a new face.<br />
\&quot;GrRrAaAH\&quot;<br />
Shear nodded assuming he was attemping to ask if she was telling the truth.<br />
Now, to fly after Sonicboom and let Tempest repay him for his generous gift of attempted sparkextinguishment? Or radio Skyscythe for updates and new orders? Welll, there were two of them werent there?</p>

<p>\&quot;Tempest? The badbot who tried to kibble you is getting away, and he's making fun of you. Yeah, that's right! He's calling you a singlecircuit arcwelder (or something) GO GET HIM! Rip him apart, tear him limb from limb and if you bring back any parts of him, \&quot;Daddybot\&quot; can make you all better!\&quot;</p>

<p>Tempest grinded and squeeked his flaking frame back into a semblance of a jetform and streaked away nearly blasting Shear with his overenthusiastic take-off.</p>

<p>\&quot;Primus, was I ever that young and stupid?\&quot; Shear paused, a musicbox melody tingling at the edges of her auditory perception.<br />
Was she ever..,<br />
Was she..,<br />
When?<br />
Where?<br />
Why couldnt she remember things?<br />
AND WHERE WAS THAT BLASTED MUSIC COMING FROM??<br />
She transformed, opened a channel to Skyscythe and flew back down to the ark.<br />
\&quot;Tempest will be okay, he can handle Sonicboom, or not. But me? I dunno. I'm talking to myself. That's not a good sign. No it isnt. Are ya sure? Oooh yeah.\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus' optics flickered then came fully online.<br />
Where was he?<br />
oh.<br />
Battle, Decepticons, Shear, Tempest, Skyscythe, Soundbyte, Soultron and him, laying flat and helpless as a newbot, minus an...Arm?<br />
Wait it appears to be reattached!<br />
He sat up quickly and saw Soundbyte. He opened his mouth to ask her if he missed anything when a faint tingling ringling melody played at the limits of his consciousness.</p>

<p>Oooh yeah. There's trouble brewing, but not with the Decepticons. Trouble with a capital \&quot;S\&quot;..,</p>

<p>Skyscythe:\&quot;Ok, just let Outflyer help get me up and we will take you to him.\&quot;</p>

<p>Outflyer went over to Skyscythe, who winked at him and nodded towards his commlink. The Link was open to Shear and she could hear everything. Outflyer got what Skyscythe was on about and began to stall Darkwind.<br />
\&quot;I don't think there is a need to be hostile Darkwind. Lord Soultron was shot down, hes probably dead.\&quot;</p>

<p>Darkwind shot at the ground in front of the two bots.<br />
\&quot;Stop stalling or i'll rip out your optics!\&quot;</p>

<p>Skyscythe thought to himself. Shear i hope you can hear this.</p>

<p>SHear could indeed hear everything, loud and clear. Skyscythe and some other 'Con not known to her were facing off against a rather banged up sounding Decepticon named Darkwind. She sooo looked forward to meeting him.</p>

<p>Tempest exhilerated in the wind rushing by and kind of thru his swisscheesed frame. He was going for Sonicboom and thoughts of his own demise possible were not even evident, after all, he no longer seemed to be a thinking creature. More a force of nature, a force catching up on Sonicboom.<br />
\&quot;GrRrRAAAaRRrhH!!\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus shoved Soundbyte away so He could stand up. His congenial mood mode was quite disengaged. He wanted Shear down with him and sedated. That slight psychic bond they shared notified him of a potential risk more liable and dangerous than Tempest could ever pose. He wanted those parts from within the Ark. Those lovely Autobot and Decepticon partsssss.., parts He could work with, for his own ends of course.</p>

<p>Shear came within sensor range and cut sound to the engines, slowing herself a tad, but decreasing the risk of ruining that delightful element of surprise.</p>

<p>('Scythe dont look up at me, dont give me away, I'm on this..,)</p>

<p>Drawing in closer, she spied the wound on the Enemy bot, oooh easy pickin's. She swooped up a bit, cut engine power and dropped like a rock, transforming in freefall. She drew both sets of chopperblades, the liftblade and shorter turnblade and came down upon Darkwind like a lightning bolt, but feetfirst. Primus, if she misses this maneuver she'll be one painful and embarassed pile of prizmatic parts. Here goes..,&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;{KRANKSHHKLANGLESSH!}<br />
Tempest rammed into Sonicboom's back savagely, then grabbed and shook the poor stunned Decepticon, roaring loud enough to blow auditory fuses. He grabbed Sonicboom's head and squeezed, looking him directly in the optics and snarling, his face an ugly mask of anger and dementia. It was time for this Decepticon to die. All of a sudden his arms clamped onto Sonicboom in a vicelike grip. An odd beeping noise came from within his frame. Tempest was sure he was'nt doing this. WHat was going on?<br />
\&quot;HRRrR?\&quot;</p>

<p>Then a memory surfaced, he saw Aluminus' face squared in his optics and Aluminus leered at him, making him feel like a mere object.</p>

<p>{Another thing, \&quot;Tempest\&quot;, you're only usefullness to us is killing Decepticons, got it? At least two, one other and well, yourself. Dont take it too hard, you're serving a cause greater than yourself. But hey. Listen, if I find any pieces of you after this is all over with, I'll make you into something real neat-o, okay? Now go get 'em, Tiger. You're equipped with a tension bomb that will wrap all your limbs around your target once you're physical contact range, then countdown to explode. All you gotta do is get close..,get close..,get close..,}</p>

<p>Tempest shook his head from this flashback at the 10 second mark. Well, what fate had in store for this miserable creature once known as the Seeker, Updraft didnt exactly sit well with him, but what could he say? His last thought was on the beautiful face of Shear Luna-C and his heart determined sometime somelife, he'd see her again....,<br />
Oblivion.</p>

<p>Aluminus heard a familiar audio signature rumble inaudibly from up in the sky, he smiled..,<br />
\&quot;Well, looks like I got one less mouth to feed!\&quot;</p>

<p>Sonicboom's optical port registered the explosion from the tempest creature and just as the first internal proximity warning registered within his sub cranial cortex the initial shockwave shattered his skull.</p>

<p>Shear's hand tensed on the handles of her chopperbladeswords, but meeting the unwavering aim of this Decepticon appealed to her logic circuits to comply, for now..,</p>

<p>\&quot;Alright, we'll do all the things that YOU want to do, Mr. Smarty-Bot.\&quot;</p>

<p>Her legjoints sparked in agony. She had managed to land on her feet, but it hardly mattered, for now.., And where in the name of fair weather was Tempest? He was'nt responding to Commlink hailing scans.</p>

<p>\&quot;Shear, you there?\&quot;<br />
Oh no, Aluminus. No doubt unaware of the situation.<br />
\&quot;Shear Luna-C, ahem this is Aluminus Kann, state your location.\&quot; Oh good, code time.</p>

<p>\&quot;Uhm permission to contact, Sir Seeker?\&quot;<br />
Without awaiting a reply from him, she answered Aluminus.<br />
\&quot;Yeah, Aluminus. (ss24-86 copperhead) I suggest giving yourself up. We're done for (crescent 99 d.o.a. spinal tap) and under watch now, (sparrowhawk basic and winged) and you?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Uhm yeah we're captured too, uhm, give your wardens my coordinates, we'll meet up to be one prisoner camp, after all, we do want to cooperate in every way and this will make it easier.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Alu? I can try, btw before I close, have you seen Tempest?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;..,\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Well?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;....,\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;WHAT!?!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;I'm afraid he's gone, Shear. He was destroyed. I couldnt stop him.\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear slowly turned off her Comm and dropped to her knees, causing them to spark but not caring. It was then that beautiful melodious cacaphony erupted in her braincase. SHe saw flames, then a night sky, then a black visor staring down at her and a ringing melody cleared her mind and turned the world red and hated, she crossed her legs and rocked and hummed..,</p>

<p>Aluminus and Soundbyte discussed their next move. Aluminus suggested radio-ing Soultron. After all, when in doubt, ask the Leader!</p>

<p>Darkwind had turned for a moment to get Shear in his sights. And that moment was all that Skyscythe needed. He fell to the floor and shot at Darkwind's hand and legs. Skyscythe:\&quot;Now 'flyer!!\&quot;</p>

<p>Outflyer rammed into Darkwind and he fell to the floor. Skyscythe walked over and placed his foot on Darkwind's back. Darkwind lifted his head to look up, and was greeted with Skyscythe's face.</p>

<p>Skyscythe:\&quot;My dear Darkwind, u should never leave ur back turned on a enemy.\&quot;<br />
Skyscythe shot 3 times into Darkwind's back.<br />
Skyscythe:\&quot;Never\&quot;</p>

<p>SKyscythe looked to Outflyer and Shear. \&quot;Shear you go check on Soundbyte......and......whats that noise?\&quot; Skyscythe flew slightly above in the air to have a closer look. Shear and Outflyer followed suit.</p>

<p>Outflyer:\&quot;In Primus name. Is that what i think it is.\&quot;</p>

<p>Skyscythe:\&quot;Yes its the Gestalts Bruticus, Predaking and Menasor. We must get word to Soultron quickly.<br />
Shear you go get Soundbyte and Aluminus meet with us in the Ark. Come on lets go Outflyer.\&quot;</p>

<p>(Pull yourself together gal..,)<br />
Shear nodded shakily to Skyscythe and tapped her Commlink. She opened a channel.</p>

<p>\&quot;A-aluminus? Situation corrected. Our captor sang us a little swan song and we went home...happy. (happy? riiight) Anyway, Skyscythe says he wants you and Soundbyte meeting us in the Ark pronto.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Aluminus receiving and agreeing. Sound got it too, we're on our way. Uhm, how you holding up?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Sky's a mess, but he's holding up. OUtflyer, you dont know him he's cool with us though, he's intact. I've got hinges squeeking, but I can walk okay. Mentally, though. Aluminus, gotta ask you about some...stuff..,\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Uhm, can it wait? We're on our way. I'm trying to reach Soultron on the Comm. He's online still, but not answering.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Aluminus, we've got big probz, Gestaults arriving. Predaking, Menasor and one other, Bruticus.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;I knew it, my vibrosensors picked up some supreme waves a few clicks ago. Okay listen up and good get inside the Ark, we'll meet you there. Aluminus out.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Shear loud and clear and also out.\&quot;<br />
Shear started after the others. This wasnt looking good. She hoped Soultron had an idea of what to do here.</p>

<p>Predaking was like a stacked menagerie from the Pit, Bruticus was a one bot, or five, army. Add Menasor to the equation you got serious troubles..,</p>

<p>Still, it might be fun taking on old Vortex sometime..,</p><div class="sig"></div>&quot;

To: 	AluminusKann 	 (8 of 19) </p>
 	
<p>&gt;And so we prepare and repair</p>

<p>Aluminus, as a Salvage Technician of a sort, volunteered himself to begin repairs.<br />
He approached Skyscthe and took quick stock of his condition. Within Nanoclicks, his processors ave him lists of repairs needed, shortcuts to do them with and suggested enhancements.., Enhacements be d**ned, he didnt have a whole lot of time. Plus, those Autobots standing around him were making him a bit jumpy.<br />
Suppose one of them recognized him or Shear?</p>

<p>Headrush seemed focussed on Soultron, regarding him with the same look one would offer an unstable and dangerous predator. Soultron on the other hand looked calm as the eye of the storm, which was even more dangerous.<br />
Leaving Skyscythe with a short list of repair plans he could self-administer, he strode over to Shear.<br />
She was sitting, face grimaced and her kneejoints sparked and leaked hydraulic fluid. Still she was a trooper, though, a Soldier through and through. After all, had'nt he redesigned her to be the best she could be? She looked up at him and looked away quickly, what was she thinking? Aluminus kneeled in front of her and took her hands in his own and squeezed them reassuringly. His emotionless visored gaze was cold comfort, but his presence had to matter, didnt it? He quickly set to work repairing her impacted servos and disconnected motion relays..,<br />
After he was done, he stood and helped her to her feet.<br />
\&quot;Thank you.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;You're always welcome, Shear.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Feels weird being around all these Autobots, do we really hafta help them??\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Within reason , but they are our firepower and the big guy over there may be one of our only keys to surviving this.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Why dont you go over there and see if you can help get him up and going?\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus held up a hand and shook his head. \&quot;Oooh nononono.., I ain't going any closer to that bunch than I have to.\&quot;</p>

<p>He could'nt take the chance of.. of being remembered for the catastrophe that claimed several Autobot Sparks and warped his longtime love into the killing machine she was...,</p>

<p>He returned to Skyscythe and gave him the onceover. Expertly he finalized readjustment of an exo-panel back into place to exacting standards, even the colors fit. Decepticons always did have cooler color schemes. With all that done, He cautiously approached Soultron to make a status report on their force's repairs and readiness.<br />
\&quot;Sir, Lord, uuh..., Shear's up and mobile, Skyscythe's back to normal too.., Is there anything else to be done in whatever time we got?\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear watched, observed and studied the Autobots. When a large noise/motion was detected from their direction, she nearly jumped! Wow, looks they got their giant friend up and going, goood. If Aluminus would have been any part of those repairs, we'd have ourselves one new ally.<br />
Poor Tempest, killed in action, doing his job. Cant be bothered with that now, focus on the present.., She<br />
recharged her Energy Shuriken Turbines,<br />
sharpened her Chopperblades<br />
and waited for a strategy to emerge..,</p>

<p>Aluminus walked up to Skyscythe.<br />
\&quot;Hey, I've reveiwed stats on some of our enemies and I got some ideas, Soundbyte, Shear you might wanna hear this too. Outflyer? C'mon over, the ol' Kann-meister's got a plan.\&quot;<br />
Their target in this manuever would be...Bruticus, not much of a plan, but it was a start..,</p>

<p>&gt;Indeed a plan I had, I'll find it and post it too, though if it was followed, remains to be seen.&lt;</p>

<p>Soultron's optics flared as life once again and seemed to surge through Manticore.<br />
\&quot;Ah, Manticore. It has been a long time dear friend.\&quot;</p>

<p>Soultron rose from the ground and hovered towards the imposing Autobot leader. \&quot;I hope you find your reactivation not too disturbing in the presence of the enemy. Times have changed and desperate bots seek desperate measures. Though, I do believe the score between you and I is far from settled.\&quot;</p>

<p>Soultron turned to his troops. \&quot;Shear, after the Autobots have finished with their reunion, fill the commander in on our battle strategy.\&quot;</p>

<p>&gt;So during Soultron and Manticore's meeting, further interaction occurs.&lt;</p>

<p>Shear perked up and grinned at her new delegation of command, now to live up to it.<br />
She strode over to the Autobots, trying to figure out who would seem the most approachable of the group.<br />
Aluminus winced inwardly..,<br />
{No no no Shear what in the pit are you doing get back here.}<br />
He followed her over to make sure nothing went wrong.<br />
Shear stood within auditory range of the group of Autobots, then she saw Fender.</p>

<p>{Oooh poor thing, how did she get hurt I wonder, still she looks so peaceful in her stasis lock. I'm getting odd readings from her though. Nothing systemic, just a gut feeling..,}</p>

<p>Headrush turned and saw her, standing there regarding Fender curiously, without malice.</p>

<p>Shear smiled sweetly at him and asked.<br />
\&quot;Tell me, Autobot. Tell me about her. I must bridge the peace between us. We need eachother's trust and reliance if both our factions are to see any day past this looming threat posed by our former allies.\&quot;<br />
She let Headrush weigh her words, unafraid, after all he would'nt try anything so dangerous as to attack her in plain sight of her group and mainly Aluminus, who stood to the left and rear of her tensed like a warrior-trained.</p>

<p>Aluminus was indeed tense, but more fearful than she suspected and ready to come to her aid, weapons blazing. Still, she was handling the situation expertly. Her Diplomacy no doubt a carry-over from her old life as one of...them...as he once was. Her concern for their fallen female comrade was making him edgy though. SUre, they were to trust and support them as comrades-in-arms soon, but this Sister Act of her's defied both Autobot and Decepticon ties. Fembots always seemed to have their own unspoken codes.</p>

<p>Shear turned to Aluminus, still smiling angelicly. Aluminus remained stoic.<br />
\&quot;Dear, it's within our commandment from Soultron that we be of aid to our current, albeit, temporary allies correct? may have to twist a few arms..\&quot;<br />
She turned to Headrush, who seemed to be confused and on gaurd.<br />
\&quot;...not literally of course..\&quot;<br />
Shear took Aluminus' hand in her own.<br />
\&quot;..to see if I...we..can be of some help with any repairs and touching base on strategy, perhaps.\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus could almost see where this was going, he did'nt like it, but the opportunist in him saw a few incentives and possibilities.</p>

<p>He strode up to Headrush to stand chest to chest, optic to optic. \&quot;Well, looks like we're shipmates, squirt, but if you get battle-sick, you won't ever see your home. I can repair your smashed-up friend, good as new, complete with warranty, whaddya say?\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear continued beaming with happiness, she put a hand on both 'Con and 'Bot's shoulders.</p>

<p>\&quot;This'll be great guys! C'mon. Two mighty factions working together toward a common goal. Think of the stories they'll tell, of this, the stuff of legends!\&quot;<br />
Headrush slapped her arm off his shoulderplate as if she was merely offensive garbage.</p>

<p>Aluminus drew his rifle, but Shear stopped his aim. \&quot;It's okay, let him think things through at his own Autobot pace. We made our peace, you've made your reaction known, it's noted. Go your way then. We'll let you be..,\&quot;</p>

<p>Headrush moved to Fender, there was no way he was leaving her unconscious form so close to a Decepticon Salvage technician and that creepy fembot..,</p>

<p>\&quot;Aluminus if ur not busy at the moment i would like a word about you so-called repairs.\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus walks over with Shear.<br />
\&quot;Whats up?\&quot;</p>

<p>Skyscythe:\&quot;Well for starters my right arm cannon doesn't seem to be working, but we can fix that up with something i 'found' before here in the Ark. Secondly we can use some of the arks on board defences as arms against the gestalts.<br />
Lets find that cannon i found before first. Shear you come too.\&quot;<br />
The three of them walk deeper inot the ark.</p>

<p>Aluminus looked at Shear, she shrugged.<br />
Aluminus had thought SKyscythe's repairs completed, but there was always a margin for error. Overconfidence, in the Salvage business, was what sank ships.</p>

<p>Shear walked behind Skyscythe and motioned Aluminus after her, he followed suit. and soon the 3 of them were out of sight of both groups. This felt odd, somehow..,</p>

<p>Skyscythe<br />
walked more into the ark.</p>

<p>Sky:\&quot;As you were repairing me i had an idea bout my righ arm. I got the idea from a body i found. Here the body i found before.\&quot;<br />
They meet the body of bot that has been torn in two, armour destroyed, and piece of shrapnel sticking out of its head.</p>

<p>Aluminus:\&quot;Whose this?\&quot;</p>

<p>Skyscythe:\&quot;It was The Mighty Megatron. The once proud Slag Maker.\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear:\&quot;So u want Aluminus to put megatrons cannon on your arm?\&quot;</p>

<p>Skyscythe:\&quot;No it has been destroyed beyond repair, but i found something else earlier. I found Wheeljacks Laboratory.\&quot; He turned to ALuminus</p>

<p>Skyscythe:\&quot;I want you to build me a fusion cannon of my own. I want it to be more sleeker and with greater firepower than megatrons was. You can usee whatever is in wheeljack laboratory and me and Shear can get u any supplies you want from the bots out there, among the dead\&quot; &laquo;</p>

<p>Well now this was good.<br />
Aluminus rubed his chin and paced, Shear and Skyscythe waiting.<br />
Fusion cannons, though renowned for their power, were prone to heatups and jammings.<br />
What Skyscythe could make the most use of was a new, upgraded, higher efficiency, type 2 Fusion Emitter.</p>

<p>\&quot;Very well, what I'll need, if you can sneak all this by those Autobots. I need a Molybdenum cylinder, Energon lattice, malleable, Armlink from an armounted weapon trigger-relay, hmmm, sighting scope, any kind, even if you have to rip out optics, energy field focus aligners and a tiebound myomer bundle with that extra weight on your arm, I'll have to add muscle unless you think you can heft it without a problem.\&quot;<br />
Skyscythe nodded and beckoned Shear folow him on their scavengerhunt.<br />
\&quot;You two might want to make it snappy, we got a battle to fight and all. I can work only as fast as I get parts.\&quot;<br />
He waited until the two of them were out of sight, then looked around the lab. There were enough parts here to make a whole other Autobot. Not as legendary as Wheeljack's lab back on<br />
Cybertron, but well stocked. Had he thought of it sooner, he could have whipped up a batch of new warriors to aid in this battle. Hmmm., based on local life-forms as well. Slag it, lack of forethought is always the main ingredient in a good batch of hindsight. He strode over to a console and turned it up a notch, screen clarity was muzzy, then flashed<br />
&lt;ACCESS DENIED!&gt;<br />
He looked around, suspiciously, did he have time to do a little hacking?</p>

<p>Soundbyte walked in the room.<br />
\&quot;Problems with the computer? Let me try.\&quot;<br />
soundbyte walks up to the computer. She hums a little the begins a faint whistling tone.</p>

<p>\&quot;Access Granted\&quot;</p>

<p>Soundbyte:\&quot;There ya go. Skyscythe thought u might have a problem with the computer. I'll go back and keep and see if Soultron needs help.\&quot;</p>

<p>Well now. Aluminus watched her leave, then spun around to scan the computer screen.<br />
{Hhhhm, what have we here?}<br />
Typing and filebouncing as fast as he could.<br />
[Directory/Main file Index/Equipment/Weapons and Ammo/Weapon Specs.]</p>

<p>He smiled and typed in \&quot;Find all words containing Fusion.\&quot; because if he could get the lab drones here or something getting this thing built with him, this weapon could be assembled faster than an Autobot eats dirt. Odd feeling though, something big was going to happen, and soon.</p>

<p>\&quot;Teletran, Gimme a reading on base status.\&quot;</p>

<p>&lt;Do you wish reformatting.&gt;</p>

<p>\&quot;Yeah make me a bowl of Trunthia Glowsoup. Wait wait, you might actually try to do that. No reformatting. No I want base status report.\&quot;</p>

<p>&lt;Cannot comply.&gt;</p>

<p>\&quot;The pits with you then.\&quot;</p>

<p>&lt;Good day, Sir.&gt;</p>

<p>\&quot;Yeah, whatever.\&quot;</p>

<p>He leaned against a table, then a beeep signalled his files were ready. \&quot;Oh goodie . Let's see long-range Fusion Cannon model x-20, Naah, too knobby, He specified sleek. Oh here we go, the Reaper-4V!!\&quot;</p>

<p>SKy'd like this one, it's sleek, unobtrusive, and quiet for a weapon of it's type. HE'd already given them a list of parts needed for a basic model though, this one required to light Auditory Light indicators for muffling the sound when it was fired. He paced.<br />
His eyes settled on a robot head that seemed to have two dopey ears sticking out the sides, well well well, my my my..., Lend me your earssss..,<br />
&gt;Note: this is WHeeljack, who inthe old days, everytime he spoke indicators on the side of his head flashed, I never got that either, guess it was for effect?&lt;</p>

<p>&gt;Ad meanwhile the Atobots are discussing strategy and bellyaching about their discomfort with their new roles in this conflict barely their own..,&lt;</p><div class="sig"></div>&quot;
&quot;8&quot;;&quot;8&quot;;&quot;<p>From: 	AluminusKann  Staff 	12/5/2003 7:03 am <br />
To: 	AluminusKann 	 (9 of 19) </p>
 	
<p>&gt;It's the final countdown!&lt;</p>

<p>Perfect for taking on larger sized and more deadly Transformers. \&quot;Manticore, I believe we should discuss strategy if you are willing. I feel that you should lead the assault on the gestalts since size happens to be your particular specialty. Predaking will be the most difficult of the three. Menasor will be unpredictable and Bruticus should give you little trouble.\&quot;</p>

<p>&gt;Strategy is gone over..,&lt;</p>

<p>The Ark's automatic defense system was state of the art in its day and age. However, four million years without a refit had slowed its reaction time considerably. Bruticus took several shots to his mid section, but the cannon's could not retarget Menasor in time. The Stunticon combiners took a large portion of the rock face off with a crashing blow. Aided by backup fire from the generals and remaining ground forces the remaining rock face slid off and crumbled along the south-western portion of the mountain.<br />
&gt;Bravery and confidence force themselves to the fore.&lt;</p>

<p>\&quot;The slaughter will begin soon.\&quot;<br />
\&quot;Is everyone ready?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;The question is are you ready Autobot! We're ready to end this when you are.\&quot; Skyscythe gloated as he brandished his new arm cannon.</p>

<p>&gt;Aluminus's gift to his former friend.&lt;</p>

<p>Finally a brave autobot spoke up from within the ranks. \&quot;Let's do this!\&quot; Hot Rod raised his gun in a bold display of bravado.</p>

<p>\&quot;Agreed.\&quot; Soultron smiled. \&quot;I will distract the Decepticon generals Darkstar and Delta Storm. Manticore and his group will take out Bruticus. Shear and Aluminus will lead the assault to distract the other two combiners.</p>

<p>&gt;Yes that's how things were supposed to go.&lt;</p>

<p>\&quot;Decepticons! Autobots! Attack!\&quot; Soultron raged as he landed another blow to Delta Storm.<br />
\&quot;You heard him Autobots! Wreck and Rule!\&quot;</p>

<p>&gt;ANd we charged forth, a force like none other.&lt;</p>

<p>\&quot;Okay Teletran, that should do it.\&quot;<br />
Shear and Aluminus led Skyscythe and Soundbyte into battle with Predaking and Menasor.</p>

<p>&gt;Great plan! :|&lt;</p>

<p>Headrush stopped to change photon charges, when a flying Aluminus knocked him from the air. Crashing into the ground, Headrush saw Aluminus' arm clatter to the dirt to his left. The Autobot pushed the deactivated Aluminus off of him and sat up.<br />
Predaking was holding Soundbyte in his left hand, evidently having thrown Aluminus at Headrush. The large gestalt roared triumphantly as he threw the 'Con down into Shear, shattering the smaller fem's chassis with the force of the throw.</p>

<p>&gt;I \&quot;died\&quot; there.., Shear \&quot;died\&quot; there..,&lt;</p>

<p>\&quot;Suondbyte!\&quot;<br />
Skyscythe called out again as he made his way over to her broken form. Luckily Shear had softened her blow, but the Decepticon female paid the price as her body was shattered in several pieces. Soundbyte came to and rose from the ground as Skyscythe aided her. \&quot;I'm fine, just some minor damage.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;That's a lie, you need repair. Right now I need your talents though. Menasor is on the rebound. I need you to use your high frequency broadcasts to scramble his circuits. Can you do that?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Yes&amp;hellip;.yes I think I can.\&quot; Soundbyte turned towards the gestalt and began broadcasting.</p>

<p>\&quot;Good, now I'll go help the others.\&quot; Skyscyteh checked his cannon and took off towards the main battle.</p>

<p>\&quot;Be careful Skyscythe.\&quot; Soundbyte muttered softly as she focused her thoughts and her frequencies on Menasor. Menasor attempted to regain it's footing.</p>

<p>Soultron spun around and saw Skyscythe engaging the aggressors. He looked towards the main battle, as the Autobots seemed to be handling the Combaticons. \&quot;All is going well. Fight hard my dear Autobots. It will be your last battle.\&quot;</p>

<p>Headrush punched the Combaticon, Onslaught, in the head module, audibly breaking the connections and joints in his neck.<br />
The Decepticon fell to the ground in a heap, leaving Headrush a moment to collect his energy reserves. He was still grounded since having his wings crushed by Predaking's attack with Aluminus.</p>

<p>&gt;My last fatal strike, falling as mere garbage would!&lt;</p>

<p>Blue and green fluids, mostly the siphoned energon that had already been throughout his systems, was spilled across the field as the Autobot fell to the ground, his energy cells shattered and coolant tanks leaking.</p>

<p>\&quot;It&amp;hellip;its what any Autobot would do.\&quot; Hot Rod mumbled. Vortex's laser shot had found its way right through the openings in his armor made by Menasor's attack. There was no saving the young bot without proper medical facilities &amp;ndash; none of which were even feasible on this planet. \&quot;Kick Soultron one for me&amp;hellip; Till all are&amp;hellip;one&amp;hellip;.\&quot; These where his last words as his optics died and the vibrant color of his armor seemed to gray and become worn.</p>

<p>&gt;Hot rod gets to die nobly though, being more popular etc.&lt;</p>

<p>Manticore knelt down and placed his hand on the remaining portion of Aftershock's shoulder. The proud Autobot looked up at his commander, but his eyes did not display the look of a warrior who fought the good fight. Instead there was only fear and perhaps a sense of warning. Aftershock's optics faded and life left him. Another friend lost.</p>

<p>The battle intensified as several Decepticon warriors targeted Soundbyte.<br />
\&quot;Uhgh..I can't keep this up much longer!\&quot;<br />
Soundbyte's audio waves were fading and Menasor began to regain strength. Another shot hit Soundbyte in the back, sending her to the ground.</p>

<p>&gt;Soundbyte falls too, another death.&lt;</p>

<p>&gt;Here Soultron seizes opportunity to attack his longtime enemy!&lt;</p>

<p>Soultron barreled into Manticore's midsection, nearly toppling the mighty Autobot. Manticore kept his feet to the ground and leaned forward as to not fall. He struggled to stay standing against the power of Soultron's thrusters, and was awarded with being slowly pushed back, leaving two long canyons in his wake. Getting an idea, Manticore pushed Soultron back and lifted his large leg to knee the Renegade Decepticon across the front of his chassis.</p>

<p>The blow was enough to send Soultron off-balance, and Manticore let himself fall to the left, clearing a path for Soultron's thrusters to take him flying uncontrolled. Manticore was quick to regain his footing, and targeted his torso-guns on Soultron, who had dropped to the ground after disengaging his thrusters. Manticore stood tall and yelled out as he fired all four torso-guns, followed by his two larger shoulder cannons. The energy blasts hit Soultron hard and unwaveringly. It wouldn't hold him long, Manticore knew, but it would be enough while he activates his missile launcher systems. The two extensions rose up from his shoulders and locked into place. Almost immediately, all twenty-four micromissiles were locked on-target: Soultron.</p>

<p>Smoky trails marked the paths taken by the small missiles as they fired from the launcher housing and collided with Soultron's chassis, generating heavy clouds of smoke and debris. Once the two launchers were empty, Manticore watched as a blur shot up from the smoke clouds, pulling some of the gray haze, pulling some of it up in its wake. Soultron roared as he came thrusting down upon Manticore with plasma sword in-hand. Manticore tried to catch the blade with his palms, but the blade would not be stopped and sliced through his right shoulder, destroying the now-emptied missile launcher in the process.</p>

<p>Manticore screamed as Soultron ripped the blade from where it imbedded itself in his shoulder, and clutched the deep cut with his left hand &amp;ndash; a hand also skinned by the blade's swipe. The anger in his optics grew powerful and they glowed brightly, almost leaving a trail of hazy energy behind as he moved.</p>

<p>Soultron stood triumphantly before the Guardian Autobot, as tall as the giant's thigh in comparison.<br />
\&quot;It's over,. Give it up. There's no hope for you or your Autobots.\&quot;<br />
He said arrogantly, as if he was wasting his time with him.<br />
\&quot;Or do you wish to condemn them all to a brutal and slow death?\&quot;</p>

<p>Manticore held his ground, not even holding to his shoulder wound any more. Processed energon, in colors of blue and green, trailed down his chassis. Most of his energy lines had been rerouted already but there seemed to be one still leaking.<br />
\&quot;There's something you've forgotten since you're days as an Autobot, Soultron.\&quot;</p>

<p>He growled. Soultron allowed a small chuckle, leveling the point of his sword with Manticore's head.<br />
\&quot;And that would be?\&quot;</p>

<p>The lights powering Manticore's optics shadowed and his head retracted into his back. The back, in turn, separated from the main chassis and finished transforming into a jet, which rotated to face Soultron head-on. The rest of Manticore's body continued its transformation cycle, almost in slow motion to Soultron's optics. The arms swung down and reversed, putting the hands up near the shoulders, and folding over the font of his chassis. The body laid down on its unfolding tank treads as power to its engines was activated.</p>

<p>The rev of the engines scolded Soultron's audio receptors as the tank drove forward. Soultron tried to fly and evade, but the tank overtook his legs and he was thrown forward, landing atop the jet mode. Afterburners flared and both Soultron and Manticore's flying half were speeding across the terrain.</p>

<p>After a nanocycle of this, the jet barreled and crashed upside down into the stony ground, pounding Soultron's body into the earth. The jet was undamaged as it flew back into the air. Soultron pushed himself up from the ground, glaring after the jet. Unfortunately he wasn't paying any attention to the remaining half of his enemy. The tank raged forward thunderously, crushing any rocks or boulders that stood in its path. The large treads overtook Soultron, at first throwing the tank upward in upheaval until it crashed down atop the Decepticon. He was rolled and trampled under the treads. The crunching of armor and bending of metal rang through the cacophony of the monstrous tank engine. Finally, Soultron was expelled from behind the tank and he continued to roll along as Manticore reformed his mech mode nearby. Soultron tried standing, but one knee servo was demolished. He fell back to the ground in pain. Manticore finished interlocking his two modes and stomped over to where Soultron sat. Soultron brushed a trail of energon fluid from his mouth as Manticore addressed him.<br />
\&quot;Autobots never give up. We'll fight you to the bitter end, Soultron.\&quot;<br />
Soultron was about to retort when there was a rumbling from the volcano-mountain that held the Ark's remains.</p>

<p>The Ark's gauges and limit readouts were all listed in the critical or red areas. Power had already gone out over most the ship as all available energon had been redirected to the power core, which included the energy being siphoned directly from the volcano. The power core was going to meltdown, taking the entire mountain with it &amp;ndash; something Outflyer did not intend to stick around for. He ran to the main entrance, but stopped to look back at Fender. He had managed to keep most the debris from falling atop her, and she lay so still on the makeshift table. He considered picking her up and carrying her out, as the Autobot Headrush instructed, but their two factions wouldn't be aligned much longer anyway, so he saw little point to it. Although, there was something that nagged him in the back of his thought processors.<br />
Shaking those thoughts from his head, he turned and ran from the Ark, and all the fallen heroes and legends the Transformers had traveled so far to claim. Even the body of Optimus Prime, mutilated and defaced as it was, shared a solemn expression with the rest of the fallen bodies, as if they knew their existence in this world was finally at an end. Not that it mattered any, as the power core overloaded and all the excess energon was shunted from its systems back into the magma of the volcano. The energon ignited and the magma erupted through rock and stone. A pillar of lava shot up thought the bottom of the Ark, burning it way to the power core, as well as more lava forcing its way back through the tubes leading to the overcharged power core. The explosion occurred so quickly, the sound of the blast was delayed by several seconds. The Ark was enveloped in a flash, then the light inverted and imploded before the whole thing burst into a nigh-atomic explosion. The Ark became a fountain of debris, including some Transformer body parts, and the mountain itself was violently shaken from inside its base and foundation.<br />
The stress had taken its toll, the entire summit and majority of the mountain became rubble and collapsed in on itself, burying the Ark and its resting place, and any traces of the legends of the past. The force of the shock wave threw every Autobot and Decepticon on the battlefield to the ground, and debris killed many, burying others still alive. The ground shook for miles, and a mushroom cloud could be seen from halfway across the state. It was almost symbolic as a final bell toll, announcing the end of the battle.</p>

<p>Manticore rose from the rubble-strewn ground, looking at what was once a great mountain, now only half of what it was. There wasn't much that could be seen - a thick cloud of smoke was everywhere.<br />
His optics could barely make out the gutted husk that was once the Ark. He looked dumbly at Outflyer as he landed near where Soultron was digging himself out of debris.</p>

<p>Outlfyer appeared to be carrying Darkwind and another Transformer, and struggled to lift his Leader to his feet. Soultron sneered at Manticore as he rose up and hovered over the rubble. The other Decepticons were already fleeing.<br />
\&quot;You may have won this little skirmish, but its cost you the Ark.\&quot;</p>

<p>And with those haunting words, he and Outlfyer left Manticore and the Autobots to celebrate a bitter victory.</p>

<p>&gt;Now you might think this is the real end, but Aluminus Kann is Nothing if not recyclable. But I do need a rest now. fear reliving/redying has taken much out of me and I'm due for a rest. Dream deeply, live fully, love truly and hit, hit what you aim for! Peace.&lt;</p><div class="sig"></div>&quot;

<p>&gt;Someplace, sometime, between the dimensions of thought and action, everything is discussed on the Subconcious level. this is something like that theory!&lt;</p>

<p>Soultron: yes, must kill any possibility of G1-ressurection!</p>

<p>Manticore: Oh come on, like a little volcanic explosion would do that! We've see to many amazing resurrections in sci-fi to have anything be completely outr of the realm of possibilities!</p>

<p>Soultron: Ah, but the decepticons are dead anyway. plus the ark itself shall be destroyed, the mountain with it, ahhh, you'r probably right.<br />
Skyscythe: but we just won't start a G1 insurrection. We won't. Right?</p>

<p>Soultron: The rule was no G1 character was to been used *NPC or as your own character* whatsoever after Chapter 1. Now, if we see our new characters remember to the past, or similarily interact with G1 characters, there is not much we can do, and it only serves to boost character development (i would think) when done correctly.</p>

<p>I wouldn't even expect to see any more living G1ers in the remaining of the chapter. All/most of the Decepticons had their energon taken from them, Several key characters are confirmed dead, and the rest were shredded in the crash. The final explosion really only serves to make it especially clear that \&quot;all are dead\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus Kann: I've drained the energy out of a few myself. Hope their memories are'nt dormant within me now</p>

<p>Aluminus Kann: AHem,<br />
A cursory evaluation of Decepticon Capabilities indicates a few tactical deficiencies! On their parts, too, good thing, huh?</p>

<p>Gestaults:</p>

<p>Menasor: is clumsy, uncoordinated and none too bright.</p>

<p>Predaking: Is prone to savage berserk furies, they are his strength and<br />
weakness.</p>

<p>Bruticus: this guy sholdnt even have gotten off the ship, I'm ready for<br />
him. lol He....has no initiative, relies too heavily on being commanded, is prone to confusions and will stand in place just looking helplessly at his surroundings, and and and, has 3 points of weakness on his back armor, that when fired on, deactivate him.</p>

<p>So in short I propose, we play some toro with Predaking, tire him out then cage the beasts. We trip up Menasor, take away his one primary weapon, apprently he has just the one big gun on him. We confuse the heck outta Bruticus, jam transmissions to him as he's over-reliant on instruction and backshoot him thrice. How nice, whaddya thinks? Also I think it's be a nice effect, aesthetically for a Gestault cook-off a la Volcanic Barbeque.</p>

<p>If ya smell what the Kann is cookin'?</p>

<p>Beyond the realm of honor lies an open possibility field, where everything is planned ......and done.</p>&quot;

<p>&gt;This could be the alternate ending or, HAHA A NEW BEGINNING!&lt;</p>

<p>Heading Toward Greatness,</p>

<p>The Metaverse!<br />
TRANSFORMERS! More than Meets the Eyes! Robots in Disguise!<br />
Transformers Interactive History!</p>

<p>Last wires were in place, all the heads of his enemies and so-called friends (who knows now and does it matter anymore?) were securely attached to their perceptual psuedo-reality loop programs.</p>

<p>They thought he and Shear were dead.<br />
The Fools!</p>

<p>Being left alone to his own devices and that pun was intended, he had but to hack into Teletran-1's defense programming and knock them all offline by repolarizing the Ark's reconfiguration beam. The Fools..,</p>

<p>Shear walked in with yet more heads chopped off their former companions. THese were the most intersting of the bunch.</p>

<p>\&quot;Well well well, Shear just set those down on the table, I wanna gloat for a bit..,\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Can I watch?\&quot; She asked viciously.</p>

<p>\&quot;Oh yes, have a seat, let's get a look at our catches.\&quot;</p>

<p>The empty and lifeless heads of Manticore, Skyscythe, Headrush and the ever egotistical Soultron stared vacantly back at them.</p>

<p>\&quot;Well, look at this! What have we here? Four empty-headed self important pieces of Cybertronian SCRAP! I'm not impressed, Shear? Help me hook them up to the virtual reality loops. They're going to dream their little dreams for the rest of Eternity.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;What about the 'Bots outside?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;My Dear, those were holographic sound emitting illusions whipped up by a device I had installed upon arrival. Always come prepared..,\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Brilliance!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Thank you. \&quot;<br />
Aluminus walked up to several prone robot forms..,</p>

<p>{Hmmmm, seems such a waste to leave them in such deplorable condition, why not get them back up to operational and see what happens there?}</p>

<p>\&quot;Shear? We got work to do..,\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Gotcha, out with the new and in with the old?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;You got it.\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus Kann and Shear Luna-C fired all their weapons at the ceiling above where the heads of their would be killers were imprisoned, covering the evidence of their dire doings until tons of rubble obscured them and set to work repairing both the fallen Autobot and Decepticon Warriors.</p>

<p>There was a battle coming, and none would sleep through it. Awaken the Soldiers, Begin the War, Feel the Fury.</p>

<p>Make your mark in History.</p>

<p>A collection of various spare parts collected from Wheeljack's lab and Ratchet's repair storage form a form in a newly created robot.</p>

<p>Bloodgeon was his name.</p>

<p>Things would never be the same.</p>

<p>Bloodgeon was activated after the final bits of assembly were completed. His optics flickered and focused on two robots staring at him. Slowly, he stood up.<br />
\&quot;Uuungh, Where/What/Who am I?\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus smiled up at the larger robot and extended his hand in greeting.</p>

<p>\&quot;Bloodgeon, I am Aluminus Kann and this is my Sparkpartner, Shear Luna-C. Welcome to life. We are now on the planet Sol-3, or as the small squeeking fragile creatures here call it...Earth. You were built to assist us in repairs of al these fallen beings you see here.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Why do we repair them? Are they allies?\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus chuckled.<br />
\&quot;Well who knows really, but I've learned one thing in this world and that is..\&quot;</p>

<p>He pointed to himself, Shear then to Bloodgeon..</p>

<p>\&quot;...that every being is vital to the continuation of the natural order of things right up until their intended demise, accidental or otherwise. What our enemies sought to do was wrong, they altered history to suit their purposes and in doing so risked the danger of having to ride the Tide of altered future events to their own certain oblivion.\&quot;</p>

<p>Bloodgeon nodded, all this slowly sinking into his newly activated logic circuits.</p>

<p>\&quot;One other thing, heha. Shear? Let's show our new friend his true abilities.\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear nodded and transformed into her Jetcopter mode. Aluminus followed suit and transformed into a sinister looking Towtruck. Bloodgeon was surprised, where his two new friends had stood... there were vehicles!</p>

<p>Bloodgeon thought about it for a second and then his body flexed, changed shapes and reconfigured into a type of Tank/Tractor.</p>

<p>\&quot;Whoa!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Welcome to the fold, Bloodgeon. now playtime's over we got work to do.\&quot;</p>

<p>And so Bloodgeon's first day of existance was one of work, which he applied himself to most wholeheartedly.</p>

<p>This was going to be an interesting life...,</p><div class="sig"></div>&quot;

<p>\&quot;Move it frogface, forward!\&quot; Shear proded the large robotic amphibian with one chopper blade held like a sword.</p>

<p>Aluminus looked up from his pile of tinkered parts. \&quot;Shear, what and who is this?\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear forced Toade down to it's knees and introduced. \&quot;It says its name is Toade, I spotted it snooping around our base. Assumed it was a local lifeform until I saw it fire an energy weapon at a fly.\&quot;</p>

<p>Toade bounded up knocking Shear to one side and with a flip stuck herself to the ceiling. \&quot;Excuse me choppy? I was nowhere near your base, ahem, I was 2.45 miles away from this position.\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear scowls and replies \&quot;Close enough, too close for my comfort.\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear looked at Aluminus for an order as to what to do with this strange being and Aluminus stood up, an impressive sight, bulked with armor and powerful servos, his pitch black visor glinted with an inner red light as he spoke. \&quot;Well, I'll be damned, this is a Talking Frog!\&quot;</p><div class="sig"></div>&quot;

<p>toade's face flares red as she blurts, \&quot;How d-dare you! You, you SCUM! I demand to know who you work for! Who put you to this?! I am not to be treated this way!\&quot;</p>

<p>AluminusKann and Shear Luna-C fall into helpless laughter, creaking and clumping about stupid and robotically. Kann, through bouts of giggles, croaks out, \&quot;Calm yourself froggy one, we mean you no harm. You know you sound pretty high and mighty for being in the situation that you're in--\&quot; \&quot;I AM IN NO 'SITUATION', THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!\&quot; toade interjects.</p>

<p>Shear, having stopped laughing at toade's arrogant behavior, throws a chair at toade on the ceiling, and toade falls to the floor with a splat. \&quot;Talking frogs aren't safe. You must now be destroyed.\&quot;</p>

<p>toade, nearly hopping in fury spits, \&quot;I am not a frog. I am a toad. I have had enough of the pair of you. You will now be faced with the fury of a plague of toads!\&quot; With this, toade begins to multiply into more toads, which hop around on the floor, rrrrbbbrrrrting, and climbing on furniture.</p>

<p>Kann peers around curiously. \&quot;This looks like a bit of a problem. Shall we stomp them all to pieces Shear? What fun this will be!\&quot; Shear laughs and starts stomping. \&quot;If we get the original one, maybe they'll stop multiplying...\&quot;</p>

<p>toade shrieks, \&quot;Enough! You vilains!\&quot; and solidifies back into one toad.</p>

<p>\&quot;Much better,\&quot; smirks Shear. \&quot;Now, prepare to be slaughtered.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Why don't you kiss me Shear, and I'll be your Prince Harming. As a toad/frog creature, I have the ability to change gender. Kiss me, and I'll be yours forever (and kill you in your sleep!).\&quot; \&quot;What was that you said??\&quot; retorts Shear.</p>

<p>\&quot;Listen here toade, you need to get out of this story, or else you will be killed. Talking animals, unless they are of the big footed sort, are unheard of, and do not belong in the transformer world...\&quot; reasons Kann.</p>

<p>toade grins evilly. \&quot;But I AM a transformer!\&quot; toade then transforms into Amphibitron!! The transformer whose history has twice been DELETED!</p>

<p>\&quot;Whoa whoa! No animal transformers!! Didn't I say that?\&quot; muses AluminusKann.</p><div class="sig"></div>&quot;

<p>Drifting complacently through space, an immense metal form cruises with a silent rumble, inside various images flit across 73 different screens of various sizes, some showing a toad robot, a helicopter female assassin bot and one who seemed familiar to him, and yet more screens replaying the first two seasons of Northern Exposure. How he longed to reach earth and devour it, how he yearned to show these piddling smaller metal lifeforms wha real fear could be, how he anguished he did not have the first two seasons of Northern Exposure on DVD, but instead must endure a millenia of bad cable commercials and other interruptions. part of his gigantic form began to stick out from the side and gives a thumbs up to Animal bots, remind them of Ravage, Laserbeak, the Dinobots, etc etc what have yoooou. But also has to remind himself he was going to start teh new story on a different thread keeping this one as a background.prequel thingy.</p>&quot;

<p>&gt;Aluminus smiles at the spirited Toadwarrior before him, and points a silent directive to Shear, who hesitantly steps aside, powering down her weaponry. Smiling more, he snaps his fingers with a metallic CLINKT.</p>

<p>Thunder pulsed through the metal floor panels, a steady marching dirge, something huge this way came.</p>

<p>Bloodgeon walked in his usual unassuming manner, face mildly quizical as his huge form shouldered his way through the doorway a tad bit too small for his bulky frame. \&quot;Bloodgeon my friend, outfit our new recruit with some of the salvaged weaponry we've gotten from the fallen here. Don't be picky about it either, we've got to evacuate this craft in 5 megacycles, Teletran-1 is going to awaken soon and re-activate these legends and we cannot be seen or history itself will be inoperably altered.\&quot; Bloodgeon nodded and comradely patted Toade on the back ushering her into the main cargo bay to do a little shopping.</p>

<p>Shear immediately stomped up to Aluminus, eye to glowing eye and demanded \&quot;You sentimenal flob, what are you doing? DO you think this is wise? Allowing the amphibitron or whatever she called herself into our midst without so much as a datascan?\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus waved her off and flicked a few switches. \&quot;I'll ask you, Shear, IS it Stupid? Wisdom is almost always discovered after the fact and nothing learned was ever taught by inaction. We can't go wrong here, between Bloodgeon and Toade here, we are near to a complete strike force to channel and steer future events to it's real and inevitable conclusions, whatever they be.\&quot;</p>

<p>A large dark shape blotted out the sun on Beta Sirino 5, a day later their weather conditoins turned turbulent, days afterwards the planet was ripped from orbit by the landing of a menace beyond time, beyond space, beyondany comprehension. So begins the TransPhorumers: Time Wars!</p>

<p>&gt;Aluminus seemed up to his neck in concerns and preparations as the sun began to set.</p>

<p>He could hear Toade and Bloodgeon clankling around collecting weaponry and tools and laughing about some joke they had told or heard.</p>

<p>Shear even seemed to have lightened up, her weakness being a sense of community and cooperation, that is once one got past her natural distrust of anything alive.</p>

<p>Aluminus set a few more delay bugs in place and some tailored command protocols running that would extend their time to leave by 2 megacycles, not long enough by far, but it'd have to do.</p>

<p>Beta Sirion 5 was rubble, floating space debris, frozen bodies floated intact amidst the wreckage when not being shatterd like ice between the colliding pieces of destroyed planet that still had post destruction momentum. They say in Space noone can hear you scream? This asteroid shattering roar being heard for 5 solar systems all around then heralded the continued progress of doom, feeding and moving feeding and moving, and craving the final course of a harmless blue green sphere that was the third in it's orbial array.&lt;</p>

<p>&gt;Okay first we start with the \&quot;Motto\&quot;. a 1 or 2 line something, quote that your bot would live by or use to describe how it does things/sees the world.&lt;</p>

<p>Motto: \&quot;Crush your enemies, drive over them unt hear der lamentations uff der vimmens.\&quot;</p>

<p>&gt;Next is Attributes!<br />
These help flesh out, er, metal out your Bot. They go in this order.&lt;</p>

<p>Strength:<br />
Intelligence:<br />
Speed:<br />
Endurance:<br />
Rank:<br />
Courage:<br />
Firepower:<br />
Skill:</p>

<p>&gt;None of these exceed ten points, unless you're asupergod type, then everyone wants to be a supergod type and the game gets real unfun, real fast. The method I use is to roll two dice and -2, subtract two, but of course when you roll two 1's round up, Noone wants to be around a 10 everything 0 intelligence robot of mass destruction, lol.&lt;</p>

<p>Name: &gt;Easy part&lt;</p>

<p>Allegiance: &gt;Autobot/Decepticon/Nuetral&lt;</p>

<p>Rank: &gt;COrresponds with your att.pts.&lt;</p>

<p>Function: &gt;What you are designed for.&lt;</p>

<p>&gt;Got those down? Yay! Here comes the cool part.&lt;</p>

<p>Transformation(s): &gt;The vehicle / machine / device you turn into. Yeah know they turn into animals now, but this is the beginning, beee paaatiennnt!&lt;</p>

<p>Basic Appearance: &gt;Size, shape, color, posture, behavior, etc.&lt;</p>

<p>Weapons: &gt;What does your robot carry, have built in, or in some cases even transform into?&lt;</p>

<p>A Breif History: &gt;I'm thinking at least 4 sentences telling ancient to most recent activities, and/or, a full 2 paragraphs, gotta limit this one or it'll turn into stuff more meant for the TransFiction sections.&lt;</p>

<p>Current Mode(s): &gt;Finally what your Robot character is all about as of the Here and Now. At least 2 sentences and no more then two paragraphs.&lt;</p>

<p>&gt;Well, there ya go, it's how the toy companies give kids today to tell them how their robots act and react, it dictates imagination a bit though.... anyways! But this is great for Roleplay or just registering your own bot creations at The Phorum. You can use them in just abotu every TransPhorum Phunction as they are as much you as you are they, \&quot;And Me Aluminus Says You Kann, So You Can Do This, So There!\&quot; Have fun with this and I look forward to seeing more than my pretty metal face gracing the board! :D 'Til All Are One!\&quot;&lt;</p>&quot;

<p>A Breif History: Formerly an Autobot,<br />
Shear was nearly destroyed in a fuel depot explosion. She managed to use the force of the blast to propel herself upwards in what many Autobots witnessed that day as an Omen, a prismatic diety arising from the flames and rubble. Thanks to te intense high damage from the explsion, her outer coating has gaind a reflective prismatic effect bordering on iridescent camoflage, but her nueral circuitry is fried and hardwired to a robo-insanity that swings from normal, to catatonic to a berserker rage that makes her a danger to all those around her.</p>

<p>Current Mode(s): Having defected from Decepticon Rebellion that used her and Aluminus Kann as tools and cannon fodder, she's in hiding with Kann and his forces. Sighted flying low and attackin civilian aircraft, simply the noise of their passage disturbed her, somewhere in the wooded regions of Washington State.</p>&quot;

<p>&gt;Anyone else wants to give this a try, the tools are in the shop, use all ya need to, just put them all back when your done. Each item contains a tracking module and a remote detonation range trigger. (took my for-slaggin-ever to perfect that module, those things used to blow up in my face the minute i removed them from the toolbox itself..,) Once your robot in disguise is registered here, it is your character, and anyone caught trying to clone it will wind up in the scrap pile with severe kickdents all up on their skidplate.&lt;</p>

<p>&gt;Note: new talkcity profile upgrade allows you to add in your rpg character on it too. Wish they'd a had this earlier, but this profile itself is waaayyy too fun to erase just yet.&lt;</p>&quot;

<p>Name: Metatron Alpha<br />
Allegiance: Nuetral<br />
Rank: Powerlord<br />
Function: Citymaster</p>

<p>Transformation(s): From city capable of floating on water, to hovering fortress to battlestar ship, Metatron's larger body shifts to these forms.</p>

<p>Basic Appearance: Up close he'd seem a jumble of large metal panels shifting into various configurations and modes until setlled into seemingly inpenetrable fortresses.</p>

<p>Weapons: Moonbiter, his giant silver energon Axe, and sun shield his golden energon shield compliment arrayed gunnery ports set everywhere on his body, but both pale to the power of his Galacting Gun, a battleship sized particle accelerator cannon easily capable of cutting whole soloar systems in half.</p>

<p>A Breif History: Metatron was created to serve as one of the City guardians, and served alongside the likes of Omega Supreme and Megaplex at different tmies, but soon grew disgusted with the squabbling ungrateful and continually under foot autobots. He one day, fled for the stars and is only seen occasionally.</p>

<p>Current Mode(s): Mercenary Group coordinator, profitting from both sides of the war, has no loyalties because he needs no loyalties, tends t sometimes favor the Autobots for their gullibility offers him the chance to every now and then offer them a prank weapon or trick/trap otherwise. Leans to the Decepticon forces in admiration of their carelessness.</p>&quot;

<p>Name: Sinister<br />
Allegiance: Autocon (new faction used in the current RPG, meaning the group Aluminus and Shear lead.)</p>

<p>Rank: Chief of Storage and Trasport.<br />
Function: Surveillance, Transport and some Medic programming.</p>

<p>Transformation(s): Jet black tinted window conversion van.<br />
Basic Appearance: Tall blocky, but surprising swift and dodgy for his size.</p>

<p>Weapons: Muffler Rifle that can blast out stinging blinding fumes of exhaust particles for a limited range. Driveline Axe that can spin like a drill.</p>

<p>A Breif History: Sinister served on both sides of the Autobot/Decepticon war as a mercenary and smuggler, beleiving that he could sway the war toward the Autobot side while raking in bigger profits from the highpaying Decepticons, saving up for his own hefty reclusive retirement to lay low until the war was ended. His treachery was betrayed by the onesided with or against us politics of the Decepticon Outreach Guardial Service D.O.G.S. and he was dumped out into space, his circuits disabled and badly damaged. Everything afterwards is a mystery but his presence here seems t indicate he was rescued and repaired by some unknown party and given some as yet unknown upgrades. Tends to be quiet and keep to himself, silent in private ponderings, but his loyalty to Aluminus is beyond doubt. Shear senses something odd about her old comrade though. Her extra sense about any robot's state of mind tells her something is amiss.</p>

<p>Current Mode(s): Has joined the Autocon cause for his own reasons, for past friendship to Aluminus and Shear, but may be working for a mysterious unseen other group or entity.</p>&quot;

<p>Name: Bloodgeon</p>

<p>Allegiance: Autocon</p>

<p>Rank: Infantry/Artillery Ground forces</p>

<p>Function: Oops, see above.</p>

<p>Transformation(s): Tank tractor hybrid.</p>

<p>Weapons: In Robot mode, Bloodgeon retains his tank cannon, shouldermounted, immense clawed hands and dozer ramming shield.</p>

<p>A Breif History: Created from the salvaged parts of those who'd betrayed Aluminus and Shear who in turn they betrayed, Bloodgeon is the epitome of newer technologies put to better use. He sees his existence as a chance to set things right the former sins of the parts of his new body. This imbues him with a silent self-loathing, but humble nature. He's susceptible to rages that sometimes damage himself and always damage those nearby.</p>

<p>Current Mode(s): Blood serves proudly in the new Autocon cause, seeing Shear and Aluminus as his parents if not unquestionable leaders. Will likely fight to the death for a cause he was born into and created of.<br />
*Giving Scorpios a Good name since 1973!*<br />

Rank: 	has no need for rank<br />
Function: 	Demolition</p>

<p>Transformation(s):<br />
Amphibitron is something like a rock troll, only more like a rock toad. She is a mortal, and does not transform.</p>

<p>Basic Appearance:<br />
Amphibitron is enormous in size, with very thick, leather-like skin. Most weapons do nothing to damage her hide. She is much like a toad in basic shape, and dark in colour.</p>

<p>Weapons:<br />
Amphibitron carries only a short dagger, which she rarely uses. She fights more with her brute strength than anything.</p>

<p>A Brief History:<br />
Amphibitron's past is fairly mysterious. toade makes up most of Amph's history herself. There is some kind of a connection between Amph and Metatron, but beyond that, Amph keeps her past to herself.</p>

<p>Current Mode(s):<br />
Finding a loyal friend in toade, who doesn't care much about Amph's past or treat Amphibitron like a freak, Amphibitron wanders with toade, living however the lands allow. She is in allegiance to none, but is willing to try to befriend the autocons, since toade has great faith in them.</p>&quot;

<p>Name: 	toade<br />
Allegiance: 	Amphibitron<br />
Rank: 	has no rank! er, Amph follows, so NUMBER 1<br />
Function: 	Demolitions Expert</p>

<p>Transformation(s):<br />
toade is a toad, therefore, does not transform.</p>

<p>Basic Appearance:<br />
toade looks like a toad, but stands upright. She is the size of a toad. She is brownish is colour, and looks more intelligent than she really is. Amph is really the brains in the pair.</p>

<p>Weapons:<br />
toade carries two flame-throwers in a pack on her back, with a lot of oxygen which she uses to make her voice sound funny. It serves great purpose for her flame-throwers also.</p>

<p>A Brief History:<br />
Since she is a toad, toade has little history to begin with, so making it brief isn't giving me much to work with!! toade actually has been alive for a long time, and will live an even longer time. She used to just be a grouchy amphibian in her slimey pond, but then she met Amphibitron, and they become bestest friends. toade believes she is the leader, and Amph allows toade to make most of the decisions. Together, they have been through some strange lands, and have had a lot of contact with the decepticons. toade's allegiance is primarily to Amph, but also to the autocons, since the decepticons don't like her.</p>

<p>Current Mode(s):<br />
toade travels with Amph. She is currently in allegiance to Aluminus and his band of autocons.</p>&quot;

He developed a conscience and rebelled against his masters. Now Suriv travels alone.

<p>Toade and Amph too promiseto be very interesting characters, Aliens, Mutants, who knows... who knows indeeed...</p>

<p>{Not: to those who play Shade, any coincidence between Suriv and the {SOC} player known as ^virUs^ are purely coincidental, The internet is a large small world. If you're on for long enough you'll meet many many unintentional similarities.}</p>

<p>There'll be a new enemy afoot soon, so the Autocons will have their hands pretty full, when they meet The Deceptibots!*</p>

Metatron is to Primus and Unicron what an Imperial Cruiser is to the Death Star, a robotic demigod if anything, with alternate city mode adaptable to all various planetary climes, ideal as a colonization unit.&quot;

<p>PATSY CLINE??????</p>

<p>Not my type...you are wrong lol</p>

<p>Patsy Cline (b. Virginia Patterson Hensley September 8, 1932 &ndash; March 5, 1963) was an American country music singer, who enjoyed pop music cross-over success during the era of the Nashville Sound in the early 1960s. Since her death at the age of 30 in a 1963 plane crash at the height of her career, she has been considered one of the most influential, successful, revered and acclaimed female vocalists of the 20th century. Her life and career has been the subject of numerous books, movies, documentaries, articles and stage plays.</p>

<p>Cline was best known for her rich tone and emotionally expressive voice, which, along with her role as a mover and shaker in the Country Music industry, has been cited and praised as an inspiration by many vocalists of various music genres since her death she has sold millions of albums over the past 50 years and won countless posthumous awards, which has given her an iconic fan status, similar to that of country music legends Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton. In 2001, she was voted by artists and members of the Country Music industry as #1 of The 40 Greatest Women of Country Music of all time and in 1999 she was voted #11 of The 100 Greatest Women in Rock and Roll of all time by members and artists of the rock industry. According to her 1973 Country Music Hall of Fame plaque: \&quot;Her heritage of timeless recordings is testimony to her artistic capacity.\&quot; Among those hits: \&quot;Walkin' After Midnight\&quot;, \&quot;I Fall to Pieces\&quot;, \&quot;She's Got You\&quot;, \&quot;Crazy\&quot;, and \&quot;Sweet Dreams\&quot;.</p>&quot;

[Closest resemblance, TF War Within's "The Fallen" comes damn close to the bulky boxish shape of Sinister, and even has a vaguely similar origin, being the moody disturbed loner type with a mysterious past and possible deadly hidden agendas lol. <img alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/76/Thefallen.jpg" /> Sinister is based on a 1979 Ford COnversion van I had once but had to give up due to insurmountably persistent mechanical failures and ultimately had to sell for a hurtful 500 bucks. It's custom large tires, chromed, tinted windows, carpetted interior, four swiveling captains chairs and foldout benchbed made it a great camping rig, and domicile when I was living up in the lower olympic foothills woods. My city pals caled it the R-van well the kind of van pedophiles with candy baskets conduct business from lol. Disgusting. SO at first we all called it Criminal for a name, but Sinister replaced that as it kind of became a personality in it's own right, like part of our circle of friends, me, my buddies, and our big black scary vanbuddy Sinister. One day I will have another van, but man do I miss ol Sinister, but in a way he lives on in the Transphorumers. Visually I peg him as being mostly The Fallen with touches of G1's Trailbreaker and alot of the texture of TF2007movie's Ironhide.]<div class="sig"></div>&quot;

&gt;You are so very <img alt="" src="http://images.wikia.com/transformers/images/c/c9/G1_Skullgrin_boxart.jpg" /> no-tauro-iously hard to please. Another close match is Beast Machines Longhorn. Noctorro was vaguely close but he was part bull part bat. Tantrum too of course, oddly the only vegetarian member of the Predacons gestalt. A vegetarian bat, remind you of nosveratu anyone? After all these images all I can promise you is picture of Rosie O'Donnel in devil horns.&quot;

<p>&gt;BLoodgeon ducked under the door and looked in on Shear. \&quot;Hey, we got alot of gear here. I found me some prime photon emitter arrays and Toade's found some holographic program customisers, but I dont think We can quite carry them all where we're going, wherever we're going, in vehicle mode.\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear walked past him to look at the pile of goods in teir treasure trove. \&quot;Guys guys guys c'mon, intact weaponry? These parts are useless without a shop to assemble them in. Besides we can't possibly haul all this.\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus strides in briskly \&quot;She's right...,\&quot; trying to maintain the air of command needed in this negotiation of directive. \&quot;...Take only what you think you cannot leave behind, nothing is to be torn off the Autobot or Decepticon bodies here, spare cargo hold weaponry, things missing that can be explained away.\&quot;</p>

<p>Toade put one appendage?/Finger? to her mouth and hushed them all into silence. Whispering \&quot;Everyone hush, shhh!! SH! I heard something outside, sounded like an Engine running, then footsteps, you guys expecting company?\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear raised an eyebrow \&quot;Uhhh, no?\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus raised his visor too, thinking. \&quot;Totally not, no. Unless, its....\&quot;</p>

<p>Outside, there Was a black conversion van parked, in it's place stood Sinister! The wild card, the unruly transport/smuggler known throughout Cybertron for his stealth and expediency despite his size. Also known to be an old friend of Aluminus, but not anyone Shear would be all too happy to invite to any energon feasts.<br />
Uninvited as usual he walked on in.&lt;</p>&quot;

<p>\&quot;Who in the name of sin is THIS?!\&quot; toade cried out in disgust at the entrance of the barbaric Sinister. \&quot;The creature is going to step on me if he doesn't watch where he's putting that bulky form of his! How rude!\&quot;</p>

<p>At this, Shear and toade exchanged a glance, each sharing an immediate dislike towards Sinister. Sinister was not going to enjoy his time with this band.</p>&quot;

<p>&gt;\&quot;Ssssinister old buddy!\&quot; Aluminus edged past Shear and Toade who seemed a bit edgy themselves. \&quot;Glad you could make it old chum, we're in need if a transport unit like you to carry out some equipment for us.\&quot;</p>

<p>Sinister edged past Shear and Toade to get a look inside. He stood arms crossed. \&quot;Al, this what I think it is? I'm not much of a history buff but I'll say this greatly resembles The Ark that Optimus and his crew took from Cybertron four million years ago!\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus stood next to him, hands spread wide. \&quot;Yes, it is, and holding up nicely, but this isnt our's. We have to keep it intact and untampered. Sorry big guy, but you're needed more for the salvage and evac modes. The clock's ticking and we need some ways to haul out supplies, double time.\&quot;</p>

<p>Sinister smiled, ideas already in mind. Aluminus could tow a huge load, and a makeshift cart or sled would do the trick nicely.</p>

<p>Shear could fly over with a cargo net of gear.</p>

<p>Sinister himself could carry quite a load of the more delicate cargo and maybe keep a percetage for himself, for carriage fee of course.</p>

<p>And the Toade? He'd keep an eye on that one, the slimy little amphibian seemed to be keeping too close an eye on him.</p>

<p>Her and Shear.</p>

<p>He sighed, ah the factor of Girl Power, well there was a time later to deal with that.</p>

<p>Toade was going to be riding shotgun, and his stereo was dead set on playing some Depeche Mode.&lt;</p>&quot;

<p>[Sinister backed in slowly, careful not to back into Toade who was waving her large long fingered hands signalling how close he was to the small parts pile. He came to a stop. Toade made double time hauling in piece after piece at the end of suctioncupped fingers and Shear carried pieces they were going to use to build a cart to hitch onto Aluminus' towline for extra hauling space. Aluminus was transformed and parked next to him, but seemed to be napping.</p>

<p>\&quot;Ssssinisterrr\&quot;<br />
Sinister jerked a little as a booming voice echoed in his datacore. \&quot;WHaT?!? M-m-m-etatron? Not now, I'm there already but I'm surrounded, can't talk now.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Sssinisterrr, unssubordinate halflife, DO not take that tone with meee. Heed my words, brief they arrre. Ssstay with your group, watch them, observe them, await my further command.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Right, okay, I will.\&quot;</p>

<p>Toade peeped into the cab, her face pressed against the window frame.</p>

<p>Zzzzrt!</p>

<p>Sinisters window rolled up catching Toade's tongue in it. \&quot;Heeeyouw yeggo my YONGUE YOU Basssarh!\&quot;</p>

<p>Sinister chuckled and rolled down enough for her to free her long tongue. \&quot;Yes?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Sounded, ouch, younded lige you were talging do somewuddy in dere.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;My self, I was talking to myself.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Ya know what that's a sign of right?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Insssanity?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;You're odd, y'know that? I'm keeping both eyes on you.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Likewise.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Sure Buzz.\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus perked awake. Teletran signalled 15 seconds to re-awakening and reformatting. \&quot;Okay troops, what we got is what we have, scatter your remaining piles and let's hit the road!\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear turned on her turbine shurikin launchers to propel air for a more natural windblown effect and Toade frogsplashed the rest.</p>

<p>Shear swiftly transformed to Chopper mode and lifted off a few feet from the ground while Toade attached the cargohooks to her struts.</p>

<p>She hopped into Sinisters passenger side seat and settled in, buckling her safety belt. \&quot;It's the Law, man! Now keep both headlights on the road and follow Kann-man there.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Aye-aye....sir.\&quot;</p>

<p>Soon the Ark was Empty, and Quiet except for the readying beeps that heralded in that critical piece of Transformer History.]</p>&quot;

<p>\&quot;Damn power-locks. They never work,\&quot; Sinister muttered under his breath, disappointed at the delay.</p>

<p>Aluminus, confused, mumbled, \&quot;Who's Amphibitron...?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Didn't toade already 'transform' into Amphwhatsitcalled before?\&quot; Shear muttered, attempting to hide her contempt.</p>

<p>\&quot;OH! AmPHIBitron, right. OK, well, I was wondering about that transformation myself. Since nothing happened. But I wasn't going to say anything. Didn't want to offend the poor deranged froggy thing.\&quot;</p>

<p>Sinister, who had been driving around in impatient circles, suddenly froze, \&quot;AmPHIBitron, where have I heard that before?!\&quot;</p>

<p>Amphibitron lumbered up to toade, towering over the small amphibian, great bulky form blocking out the sun.</p>

<p>\&quot;Amph, I didn't think you'd make it! Everything went well I hope. Was Metatron well behaved? I know how he gets. Oh, I'm so glad you made it!\&quot; toade blathered away uncontrollably. Amph returned this devoted glee with nothing but an icy glare.</p>

<p>\&quot;Watch what you say small one.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Did she say METATRON?!\&quot; Shear hissed to Aluminus. \&quot;I knew the warted one was trouble!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Harrrummm, we may have heard wrong?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Amph! Lord Decepticon save me! Traitors!\&quot; Sinister growled to himself. Amphibitron was no ally of his, or of Metatron's. Or of Aluminus, Shear, and Bloodgeon for that matter. This could mean trouble!</p>

<p>Aluminus then transformed and steped forward to settle the problem. \&quot;toade, who is this Amphibitron creature? We are all enemies of Metatron. I thought you a trustworthy creature, but now I'm not so sure. Tell me, who are you, and what is Amph?\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear transformed and drew a wicked looking blade. \&quot;They're spies! Let's finish them now!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Spies! Of all the unkind things to call us, you call us spies! I am no spy, nor is Amph,\&quot; toade retorted heatedly, inching towards Sinister's rear wheel with an impact wrench.</p>

<p>\&quot;We're free-ranging creatures. Mortals in a world of robots. Metatron considers us harmless, and is on good terms with Amph here.\&quot; toade paused before continuing, \&quot;He's not fond of me, however, and that has put a burr under Amph's bottom. We're no friends of the decepticons. Amph only has a connection through family. Mother's old fling, really.\&quot;</p>

<p>All through the narrative, Amph simply stood, examining the band of transformers. Something wasn't right here, but Amph couldn't put a finger on it. As a matter of fact, Amph would have a difficult time putting a finger on anything, since her hands were more or less only a mass of thick, leathery flesh.</p>

<p>\&quot;Why doesn't she speak?\&quot; Aluminus demanded of toade, not at all pleased with this turn of events.</p>

<p>toade peered up at Aluminus, \&quot;Why would she speak?\&quot;</p>

<p>toade hopped back into the van, and flipped on the dashboard television to watch ROBOT WARS! \&quot;Check out that Gnome bot! Hahahaah, with the little gnome driver!! What a laugh!\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus exchanged a quick glance with Shear. \&quot;Maybe we can sort this out later. Mustn't keep the boys waiting.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;I knew she wasn't a bot. I knew it. You heard when it said it was a mortal, didn't you? She's useless! Both of them!\&quot;</p>

<p>With a quick shrug, Aluminus transformed once again and took off from the ark, followed by a furious Shear.</p>

<p>\&quot;No time now. We have another place to be!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Where are we going anyways? And did anybody think to bring Amph??\&quot; toade leapt back out of the van to perch on Amph's shoulder.</p>

<p>\&quot;We'll catch up, alright?\&quot;</p>

<p>Two relieved sighs from the band, and they were off again, leaving the ark deserted once again.</p>&quot;

<p>[Sinister was still alternating between a mental headtilt and a mental shrugs as he alternated gears, he slammed it in cruise control. \&quot;Toade, Amphib something, both, and Metatron, working for Metatron? Why was I not apprised of this?\&quot; No deep rumbling voice in his head answered him on this and sometimes Meta's silence could prove as deadly as any outright answers could.</p>

<p>Aluminus pulled alongside Sinister as they both motored along. \&quot;Sorry friend, you look troubled, but we got some catching up to do yet, and it's a long drive to where we're going right?\&quot;</p>

<p>Sinister flashed his headlights in a sort of nod. \&quot;Yeah, we do. Word on Cybertron was that you and Shear got yourselves mixed up in some kinda rebel ragtag group led by a certain Soultron?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Yeah, well, I was more or less finding my feet, er wheels too, heh, and then we located Shear and after all that I had to do some quick thinking.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;You know me and the Shearster arent getting along as well lately for some reason, but if ya don't mind me asking, uh, how's she, mmm, handling things?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Close scrapes here and there, I almost lost her a few times. Sinister, her mental circuitry's still so very erratic, there's only so much one can do physicaly, the rest is up to the spirit's willing.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Too true too true..,\&quot; Sinister said all too knowingly \&quot;No matter what all we go through, the places we go, things we do, somethings fundamentally never change.\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear swooped down to get within hearing range, her sensors had that itch that occurred whenever she was being spoken of and she wasnt so sure she liked being spoken of to Sinister, She was so intent she failed to take heed of a dark shadow briefly darkening the gruond then passnig over. \&quot;Sinister, you'd better not be talking slag about me man, One untoward word, one sideways sentence, all it'd take, then whammo, scrap-pile, understood?\&quot; She angrily swooped back up, cargonet swinging a bit recklessly.</p>

<p>\&quot;Maaaaan, she dont let up do she?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Something's on her mind, I'll straighten it out later, anyways Something else was bothering you?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Yeah, okay I got the holograms part, in fact I detected high mass photon emissions happening before I even arrived. So the supposed landing party you artificially created outta thin air to satisfy Soultron's paranoid delusions, yeah, but uh the inhabitants of this planet managed to see all that too!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Slag! I remember now, I think Shear radio'd in some sighting of the small squishy folk of this orb seeing some of what we were doing...,\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Exactly, why we should be back at the Ark, not motoring off to parts unknown.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Hey! Unknown? You're the one leading our merry party, you mean to tell me you have no destination??\&quot; Shear shouted down from her lowering height.</p>

<p>\&quot;Nooo nonono, we have a destination, it just hasn't landed yet.\&quot; blinking one headlight in a kind of wink. \&quot;Aluminus, Shear, aren't you two worried about these humans getting ahold of Cybertronian Technology and using it for their own purposes?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Nonsense, the Autobots and Decepticons aboard The Ark are too close to activation to approach and inspect.\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear laughed wildly and in a singsong sweet voice lilted \&quot;and the rest of who we left for dead, left us dead or so they said, but it wasn't us who bit the bullet, it was us, shocked them and ripped out their gullets, hehehehe.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Beautiful piece, hon.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Thank you!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Say what?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Well Sinister, in other words, we detached their heads and stuck them in a fully cyclic low power terminal psuedo-reality hidden deep within the ark.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;And the bodies?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Well we used a large percetage of them to make Bloodgeon there.\&quot; Bloodgeon rumbled dutifully behind, seemingly on automatic, a giant metal form almost the size of all three of them.</p>

<p>\&quot;And the rest? You disposed of the bodies right?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Damn... no... I didnt..\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Kann Kann Kann, when are you ever gonna learn to clean up your messes a little better, well no doing anything about it now, we cannot go back. Let's just hope for the best.\&quot;</p>

<p>Foreshadowing things to come. Two shadows actually, the large city sized shadow descended and scanned the lifeforms it was looking for. The other shadow was much smaller, the size of a human, who had just seen a strange giant metal hand laying against a tree!]</p>&quot;

<p>Back some distance, toade and Amphibitron were making fairly decent time. toade, from her perch on Amph's massive shoulder chattered away while Amph kept up a steady trundle onward. To where, she wasn't certain.</p>

<p>\&quot;Amph, you would have been so proud of me. To see how I handled that Sinister bugger. He just came smashing onto the scene, trying to stomp the life outta me, but I wasn't about to take any crap off of his likes. I stood right up tall and told him right what I was thinkin'. Then I tripped his robotic arse to the ground and got right up into his face about it. You wouldn't belie--\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;--TOADE!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Yeah Amph?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Tell me, my imaginative little friend. Where do you think we are headed?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Well, obviously you're following their tracks, right? So, we're going wherever they're going.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;There are centuries of tracks here, toade. Some new, some not. Why do you follow them?\&quot; Amph patiently replied, easily covering up her true tracking abilities. This was an adventure she couldn't afford time to waste on.</p>

<p>\&quot;Why the heck not? Amph, these guys (and gal) are super-heroes! Wherever they're going must be full of action. I tell ya, I miss a good scuffle. It's been, what? Months!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;What about Sinister...?\&quot; Amph teased.</p>

<p>toade, feeling a little exhasperated, swiftly replied, \&quot;That, you big oaf of a toad-like creature, was no scuffle. That Sinister dude has no fighting skills what-so-ever. I don't see what Aluminus and that band see in him. Myself, on the other hand --\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;--toade!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;We follow them. No worries about which tracks are their's. I slipped a chip into Sinister's hubcap, so I can track him wherever he goes.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Hm.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;There's nothing better to do, as far as I can see.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;I have things to do. As long as I can stay, I will.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Super! Steady on as you go Amph, we'll catch them up in no time at all!\&quot;</p>

<p>And so the pair continued on, to wherever the others were going.</p>&quot;

<p>A scream of whining thunder lowered in pitch as Metatron lowered in elevation seeking a nice level landingspot. Settling into a space between a grove of trees and a mountainside he allowed himself a cooldown, scanning the countryside with long range energy receptors and relaxedly unfolding into his citybase configuration. They'd be arriving soon and Presentation Was Everything. 7 lifeforms within the 50 quad radius, wait... 7? \&quot;Oh no, not him..,\&quot;</p>

<p>The Zagretronian was no pleased, this mountain was HIS and His Alone, what were these... doing here?? He rumbled into his transformation and charged downhill like a 25 story tall golden bull.</p>

<p>Sinister skidded to stop. Shear was radioing in about something spotted uphill from the road they were on, but approaching fast and furious, and it was \&quot;freakin' Huge\&quot;. Aluminus stopped too, and transformed, photon rifle drawn, visor scanning.</p>

<p>\&quot;Al, Sinno, uphill 36 degrees, you should be able to hear it by now! Primus willya got a look at the size of that bugger!\&quot;</p>

<p>The Zagretronian burst from the trees, bellowing and snorting. \&quot;HHHEEEYYYYYYY! YOU POPCORNHEADED LITTLE SMALLER PEOPLE!! WHAT ARE YOU GNOMES FOR BEING IN THESE WOODS? THIS IS MY NEW MOUNT OLYMPUS! I'M THE UNIQUE AND ONLY GOD HERE!\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear descended and landed. \&quot;What's he talking about?\&quot;</p>

<p>Sinister transformed and walked up to THE ZAGRETRONIAN with his hand extended in peace. \&quot;Guys guys guys, the universal greeting, it works everytime, aherm, Bah Wehp Grahna Wehp Ninneh Bahng!\&quot;</p>

<p>The Zagretronian tilted his head, clearly confused. \&quot;PHEW? WHAT MEANS ALL THAT YOU SAID? I ONLY SPEAK SPANGLISH! I ASK YOU AGAIN NOW, WHAT ARE YOU THREE IDIOTS DOING IN MY HOME?\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus stood next to Sinister \&quot;Peace good sir, we're pilgrims in passing heading to our destination, we'll be here no longer than it takes to pass without incident.\&quot;</p>

<p>Sinister snapped his fingers and smiled \&quot;Aluminus, what luck! What we have here is a relict Cybertronian, probably an amnesiac protoform accidentally dumped from an exploratory vessel. What happens to these units is when they land and reformat to adjust to the terrain and climate, they're sometimes spotted by the locals of the more primitive cultures and worshipped as gods.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;GODS, YES, I AM A GOD, HAHAAHAHAHA I'M LAUGHING LIKE A DAMN COW PUKING ABOUT THIS! KLANG KLANG! I'M THE UNIQUE GOD OF GIANT AND GOLDEN BULLS! I'M LIKE ZEUS! DEAL WITH IT! I'M NOT NARCISSIST TO SAY THIS BUT DAMN I'M GOOD!\&quot;</p>

<p>Sinister lowered his voice and continued \&quot;and being amnesiac they too buy into the whole god idea, eventually the effect wears off but sometimes it stays, but I think we can find a use for our new giant friend here!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Hmm. I see your point, okay he can tag along if he wants to, if we can get him away from his mountain home.\&quot;</p>

<p>After some long and very weird negotiations the four of them were on their way to... \&quot;ALUMINUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS HEY WHEN ARE WE GONNA STOP TRAVELLING! I MUST GO MAKE POO JAJAJAJAJAJAA\&quot;</p>

<p>There was no mistaking that loud voice in the distance, so much for their quiet approach, heh, well Metatron could sit here for a bit longer, he had some last minute plans to make anyway. Switching on his comm relay he scanned for Toade and Amphibitron...,</p>&quot;

<p>Kind of a rough reprsentation of this last chapter's scene: (Image no longer exists) Minicons standing in for Bloodgeon, Shear, Aluminus, Sinister and a fuzor to represent The Zagretronian! (Pay no attention to the background, that's my audiotape storage bin there, lol.)</p>&quot;

<p>\&quot;Hey, uh... Amph? I've been checking the location of that chip I stuck on Sinister, and, well, um... Ya see... Drat, its behind us now!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;I know toade. We passed it hours ago.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Oh.\&quot; came the quiet reply.</p>

<p>The pair continued on for some time.</p>

<p>\&quot;Where are we going then Amph?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;I see them just ahead. We're going there.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Righto!\&quot; toade replied, cheering instantly. \&quot;You have no idea how glad I'll be to be in the company of creatures with personality! I truly do miss my old chums Amph.\&quot;</p>

<p>Amphibitron snorted at the personality shot played on her by the often simple-minded toad. \&quot;It looks like your chums have found themselves another of their sort. Some old Cybertronian sort.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;OH! How wonderful! A creature more to my liking! He's something like a, um, whatchacallit, uhh, a bull! A metallic creature of the Animal Kingdom. Speed along now Amph. We'll be there in moments!\&quot;</p>&quot;

<p>\&quot;YEAH! The best way to die, is starting tonight! They've all lost control but they're feeling alright! Hm. Life is like a fantasy, can you live this fantassyy liiiife? (It's just a fantasy!) We are we arre, the youth of the naaation. Ooohh yes he was! The only boy who could ever reach me, was the son of a preacher something. Sigh.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Preacher man.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Oh, right! Good call Amph!\&quot;</p>

<p>Yep, toade had been at this all evening and into the night. After all of the recent arrivals to the transformer band, some quite UNWANTED, travel was delayed once again. toade had cheerfully suggested a camp out, with a fire and roasting marshmellows, and that was just what she did. She built up a toad-sized bonfire, but resorted to roasting flies due to the lack of marshmellows in the area.</p>

<p>\&quot;Head out on the highway! Lookin' for adventure, and whatever comes our waaayyyyy. Borrrrnnnn to be wiii-ii-ii-iild! Yeah I'm free! Free fallinn'! And I'm putting out fire with gasolinnnne...!\&quot;</p>

<p>Sinister, having heard enough of toade turned and roared at the hapless little creature, \&quot;Would you SHUT UP?! The pair of you even! You great huge poor excuse for a lump of amphibious SCUM! Why do you encourage this?! WHY?\&quot;</p>

<p>toade puffed up her tiny chest to berate the giant robot, but before she could get a word in, Sinister and Amphibitron were into a scuffle. Amph was taking no lip offa this Sinister punk, and so the fight was on! Amph grabbed Sinister by the throat and squeezed, but to no effect, as the robot didn't need to breath. Sinister retaliated with a series of powerful kicks to the amphibian's stomache and a good knock over the head. Then they were in the dirt, pounding the stuffing out of each other.</p>

<p>\&quot;Whoa! What's going on here? Break it up, break it up!\&quot; yelled AluminusKann as he dove in to separate the two.</p>

<p>Shear sighed that I-told-you-so sigh, and gestured for Bloodgeon to help out. Bloodgeon and Kann soon had the pair apart, and the interrogation was on.</p>

<p>\&quot;I don't care who started what here. But what are we going to DO with you?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;I say we send them all off on their way,\&quot; Shear happily suggested. \&quot;We don't need any lizards to hold us back, or any frippin' bulls, and I certainly don't think we need any SMUGGLERS!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;I wish it were that simple, but we DO need the smuggler, and we can use any support that we can get. Unfortunately, I don't know who toade and Amph ARE. So, it's now or never.\&quot; Kann cleared his throat before continuing. \&quot;Amph, who are you, and what cause do you have to associate with Metatron?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;My business is my own,\&quot; came the stoney reply.</p>

<p>Shear pulled out her blade, that REALLY looked like a lawn mower blade, and whispered to Amph, \&quot;Wrong answer.\&quot;</p>

<p>Kann stepped between Shear and Amph to continue. \&quot;That wasn't the answer I was looking for, in any case. Your business is our business if you come with us. Does the little frog have anything to do with Meta?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;TOAD! Thank you.\&quot; toade spat.</p>

<p>\&quot;I barely know the creature. She only knows of my connection to Metatron because she overheard it.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;I'm afraid you can't be trusted to stay with this company Amph. We need total confidence in our team. Unless you're going to explain a few things, you'd best be moving on about your own business.\&quot;</p>

<p>Amph glanced at toade. \&quot;I think my business may bring us all together again at some point. But take the little toad, and I'll be sure we don't meet on any unpleasant terms. And beware of the Sinister one. He's not a new face to me, I think.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;toade is welcome to come with us,\&quot; Kann burst out hastily, feeling Shear's eyes burning into his back. \&quot;She seems to be worth her mettle. Don't worry about her.\&quot;</p>

<p>With that, Amphibitron nodded and turned to lumber off to the east, where the sun would be rising. toade watched Amph go, shrugged, and turned in to sleep. The others followed suit, Shear a little disgruntled, but glad to see giant rock-toad gone.</p>&quot;

<p>\&quot;Close?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Yes, my master.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;All of you?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Sir, Shear Luna-C, Aluminus Kann with me joined by Bloodgeon, Toade and Amphibiatron are around somewhere.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;You need not worry about their whereabouts, have you brought the bullgod?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Liege, yes, The Zagretronian is with us, he was most useful in clearning a trail through the heavier trees.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;He has many uses as you shall soon discover, continue on your present course, I'm in Citymode with power cells filling and docking bay ready to recieve.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Sir yes sir.\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus radio'd Shear \&quot;Dearie? I'm thinking we're almost there, where's the Zagbot?\&quot; a short pase and static. \&quot;He's 2 miles ahead of you, doing a fine job of ripping up trees, tearing up the gruond and stomping in a nice firm road ahead.\&quot; Aluminus silently nodded to himself \&quot;Good good, according to Sinister's readout's we're almost there, large metallic structure, cybertronian in nature, and one lifesign aboard, though it's hard to trace it, seems like it's all over the place in there.\&quot; (\&quot;or it IS the place Itself?\&quot; this thought casing a bit of a worry in him)</p>

<p>\&quot;Dude, check this out, okay like I was hiking along, trying to catch up to Sherry and Mike and then Angie screams and points at this thing in the ground and I like run on over and like holy hell it was a huge hand, all sci fi and robotic and stuff.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Just show us where it is.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Sure thing captain minnow!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Captain Minneau, Bernard T. Minneau, lead us to the hand or whatever and head on to the recovery van there, we'll need you to fill out some forms on your way home, because thatis where you'll be heading, straight home, quietly forgetting you saw anything here!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Well okay then, no need ta get heated dude, just caled you guys in to see this, it's your deal man, whatever, later for you.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Much.\&quot;</p>

<p>Walking along for what seemed like less than an hour, they reached, well it was a hand alright, only just the thumb was as tall as the tallest of them, and it was lifelike, but metallic.</p>

<p>\&quot;Capt. Minneau! There's wreckage all over the place here, vehicle parts and what looks like giant robot heads arms and legs!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Shut your mouth and load up everything, I've called in more cargo carriers. We're taking it all back with us and we're gonna figure this stuff out.\&quot;</p>

<p>Captain Minneau was 11 months close to military retirement and had nothing on his record except for exemplary training, a purple heart and a reputation for being the chief bully on any base, damned if he was gonna go out on that set of notes.</p>

<p>These new parts, whever they came from, could be used in military applications, bridging the current technological gap between America and total future military supremacy!</p>

<p>He smiled and extended a hand to he giant hand leaning against the tree. \&quot;Welcome to the army partner, always good ta see a fellow like yourself willing t lend a hand.\&quot;</p>&quot;

<p>&lt;OOC: Sorry about the delay folks, more popular phorms monopolized what little time we all had, but so I'm reviving this old thread and really should maintain it weekly, as instead of the weakly I have been. And Action!&gt;</p>

<p>&gt;Aluminus pulled to a stop, transformed and stepped into the cover of a cluster of small trees, he snapped his fingers with an iron KLAK noise, Shear lowered in muffled fwuffs of slowing chopperblades and transformed mere feet from teh ground to land with a subtle whump. Bloodgeon's vehicle form seemed to stretch shimmy and rattle like a tiger stretching sleepily and finally he transformed. ZAGRETRONIAN gave Sinister a light hoofkick and they too both transformed.</p>

<p>\&quot;Sinister? This the place?\&quot; Kann whispered.</p>

<p>\&quot;Yes, my ship, my base if you will, and more, but we'll getinto that later, this I promise.\&quot;</p>

<p>Toade hopped off ZAGRETRONIAN's shoulder, crossing her little green arms and tapping her long foot with a pattering irritation. \&quot;Well, if ya ask me, which you didnt, but you should, I would have answered that I think this is a TRAP!\&quot;</p>

<p>Amph walked up to stand behind the smaller organism. \&quot;I mean really, C'mon guys, follow me into the deep woods, I'm a smuggler with a questionable past, who talks to himself alot and listens to Depeche Mode. How do you Robot folk live so blasted long?\&quot;</p>

<p>Sinister's eyes flashed red \&quot;Still your waggling tongues you slimy pair of mudsuckers. As long as you ... are Guests in my... home, you Will follow Protocol and you Will Do as I... or Kann of course, Say.\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear shook her head and walked off a few paces. THE ZAGRETRONIAN viewed all this with a sourceless amusement, he chuckled, elbowed Bloodgeon and pointed at the exchange taking place.</p>

<p>With a whirring and a hissing, a port door on the side of the massive structure opened like a metal drawbridge. Sinister gave them all a comforting smile, best he could muster, but it looked like triumphance to the amphibians, a tad bit smug. Aluminus and Bloodgeon walked after Sinister, followed by THE ZAGRETRONIAN.</p>

<p>Almost all of them were inside, the HQ seemed to hold it's breath, to wait, as if it were alive. Toade shuddered and grabbed Amphibitron's arm. This whole thing gave her the creeps.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, among the humans:</p>

<p>Minneau smiled and shook hands with this, the elite cadre of scientists, each a specialist of the first order in each their varied fields.</p>

<p>\&quot;Gentlemen, what we have here is an unknown technology here. I see it as Raw Unquestionable Opportunity here. From the Dawn of Time it was He who had the most powerful tools who did the job better, the Cavemen who used CLubs beat those who did Not, teh prehistoric warriors with swinging swords killed them, adn they in turn were felled by projectile weaponry, and so on and so forth.\&quot;</p>

<p>Several trucks and large cargo vehicles drove in and began dumping and unloading piles upon piles of giant colored metal components, some of them looking like large scale body parts.</p>

<p>\&quot;Your task is to make Sense of all this, to make Machines of all of this, to Make Me Proud!\&quot; (and to make me filthy stinking rich, and clearly stinkin famous he added to himself) \&quot;You have one week, and by the end of that week, I want walking moving working grooving whatever you can cobble together from all this debris!\&quot;</p>

<p>Minneau strode out, back faced to any chance of objection, to delaying questions and other nuisances the big brains he left wondering were often capable of. It was going to be a good move this, one that wuold please world leaders or conquer them. Or Both. God Bless America, he lit his pipe and hopped into his jeep.&lt;</p>&quot;

<p>Upon entering the city, toade quickly scurried over to low wall (tall enough to hide her mischief) and attempted to leap over it. Unfortunately, her stolen cargo was a fair bit heavier than the foolish frog thing had calculated, and she smashed directly into the sturdy wall.</p>

<p>\&quot;OW! SON OF A RIP-ROARING RIVER GOOSE!\&quot; toade bleated, massaging her bruised forehead.</p>

<p>Sinister turned to squint at the tiny amphibian, who was clutching something somewhat larger than herself behind herself.</p>

<p>\&quot;JAJAJAJAJJAJAAAJAJAJ! THE WET THING MAKES ME LAFF LIKE A COW PUKING ON MADONNA. GAWD I LOVE MADONNA!\&quot;</p>

<p>toade hissed at the attentions her big mouth had drawn to her. She abruptly turned away, tossed that thing that she was carrying over the wall, pulled her delicate bruised body up onto the wall, and prepared to duck out of sight. Just before gracefully prancing off the wall, toade flicked out a quick paw/hand and nabbed a fly out of the air. With a triumphant chortle, she vanished over the wall.</p>

<p>mAGma looked puzzled.... \&quot;I thought toads caught things with their tongues.\&quot;</p>

<p>Sinister, who was still staring after the repugnant little toad, whipped out his 'muffler rifle' and screamed, \&quot;Where did THAT come from!?\&quot; as he turned to face the newest arrival.</p>

<p>Aluminus jumped to cover Shear from anything the mysterious bot might be prepared to do. Bloodgeon rumbled thunderously in aggravation. mAGma blinked a few times.</p>

<p>\&quot;Hi guys! I'm a tracking chip. I tracked you guys down.\&quot; he smiled smugly. Nobody can hide from a tracking chip. Not nobody.</p>

<p>\&quot;Who in this confounded place would track us?\&quot; Shear exploded, shoving Aluminus out of the way.</p>

<p>Sinister had been standing where he was, open-mouthed at the appearance of mAGma, wondering... HOW could this hunk of metal have snuck up on him. Then something occurred to him. toade!</p>

<p>. . . . .</p>

<p>Over on the other side of the low wall, toade was scratching frantically at the hubcap she had confiscated from Sinister's wheel. Where did that chip get to! toade had put that tracking chip together specifically for tracking, and it was discovered and tossed aside like a piece of rubbish. It was a masterpiece! A work of art!</p>

<p>toade slumped down against the wall, disillusioned.</p>&quot;

<p>A low hum permeated the air as mAGma transformed into his native state. Although much smaller in stature compared to those he now found surrounding him, he seemed to put the others on edge as he drew his laser sword.</p>

<p>\&quot;Toade! We've got trouble here!\&quot; he shouted toward the wall his friend was hiding behind.</p>

<p>mAGma said nothing as he slowly turned on the spot as the others encircled him, laser sword drawn and ready to cut metal.</p>

<p>He was the 'speak softly and carry a big stick' sort, and he didn't know who among these strangers he could trust.</p>

<p>\&quot;Gettign to be more and more like the Wizard of Oz here\&quot; Aluminus muttered amusedly as he tapped out some code checks at one of many entrances to the newly landed cityship.</p>

<p>\&quot;Alumithy I don't think we're in Kansas anymore\&quot; Shear chuckled sweetle over his shoulder \&quot;How's the techy button pushing coming along?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, Shear, we are at the wizard projection itself so to speak but the real deal's inside. I don't think Sinister's telling us everything.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Always helps to take stock of the situation dearie. Ticking it off we got a giant golden bullrobot with a thunderous voice and a god complex, two amphibions of exceptional size wit and mischief who I have to assume are not native to this planet either, Bloodgeon who's cobbled together from our former enemies and betrayors and has been far too peaceful considering, an intergalactic smuggler longtime associate of our's Sinister never very trustworthy for starters but now back from the dead with an extra something to him I just can't put a digit on, and now mAGma, who by all appearances has been tracking us since who knows where.\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus smiled \&quot;Well when ya put it all like that, we don't sound all that bad off!\&quot; His handheld decoder pinged urgently \&quot;POwer surge at the Gate's Pneumetre, thi's baby;s gonna crack open,\&quot; Aluminus looked over hsi shoulder at the assemblage of frogs, chips, van &amp; bull and whatever else this journey would bring \&quot;Okay group we're in, anyone coming in follow suit, quiet and close, anyone choosing the known evil of the outdoors see to perimeter recon if you could.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Spoken like a true Prime.\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus froze at the gate, it was open, the voice issued from the darkness from nowhere and yet it knew that?! The exposure of that ancient long buried connection froze in his spark like the coldness of lost space.</p>

<p>From somewhere or everywhere within the Metatron laughed.&lt;</p>&quot;

<p>\&quot;Yes, my tracking chip!\&quot; toade spluttered. \&quot;What did you robots do! It's a... a... a robot!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;As this is your tracking chip, we were thinking mayhap you could explain it,\&quot; Sinister growled.</p>

<p>\&quot;We?\&quot; Shear inquired. \&quot;I'm against agreeing with you on anything Sinny! Let us just not worry about it!\&quot; she bubbled, turning to Aluminus.</p>

<p>\&quot;I'll worry about!\&quot; toade squeaked. \&quot;My most greatest creation turned into a robosapien!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;With a light sword!\&quot; mAGma added.</p>

<p>\&quot;WHAT IS LIGHT SWORD! ISN'T IT HEAVY?!!!!!\&quot; ZAGRETRONIAN boomed.</p>

<p>\&quot;No no! It's a sword made of light,\&quot; Ag corrected.</p>

<p>\&quot;Like a light saber?\&quot; asked Shear.</p>

<p>\&quot;Something very much like that. Watch!\&quot; mAGma stealthily crept up behind ZAGRETRONIAN and smoothly removed his bull manliness with a quick swing of his light sword. \&quot;And there you have a cleanly castrated bull!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;OOOOWOOWWWOOOWWWWOWOWOWWOW! PUT THOSE BACK! WHAT WOMAN WILL MAKE LOVE WITH ME IF I CAN NOT MAKE THEM WITH BABIES!\&quot; ZAG bawled.</p>

<p>\&quot;Not a problem,\&quot; mAGma replied as he slammed the still steaming testes back in place. Good as new!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;What are you called then comrade?\&quot; Aluminus chuckled. \&quot;And do mind you keep that sword of yours sheathed around me!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;I'm mAGma. I was created by toade from some scraps of robot she rummaged up, and a life was instilled in me which allowed me to generate into this which you see.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;But why are you called mAGma?\&quot;</p>&quot;

<p>Metatron could have rumbled with impatience, but he was as infinitely patient as the dark metter of space itself, or so he was trying to imagine he was. Sensors picked up ....... 7 potential entrants. Dropping the Prime connotation on Aluminus had clearly rattled his smaller friend heh heh it was still a sore spot he observed. One matrix away from greatness, that just had to smart. He shifted his city mode to gloss over some afterthoughts in mode and form to accomodate what he wanted known and what little surprises in store he did not want found out yet, if at all, far from the proverbial naughty bits, no other word pairing immediately bring to mind the technological aspects Metatron had at his disposal, speaking of disposal? \&quot;Sinister,\&quot; he waited for that mental nod and recognition \&quot;Good, mental speak only, no alerting them to our connection, kindly begin escorting our guests inside, keep the frogs in sight, and closely monitor the chip, he alone with that dreaded Suriv could truly pose a threat to my internals.\&quot; Sinister tilted his head, nodded and proceeded to the door, looking like an entranced penitent, walking into the mouth of a sharkticon.</p>&quot;

<p>toade glibly pranced into the awesome metal city. \&quot;I can't wait to find a wading pool! Hope there's slides someplace! It's been so long since I had a good wet down!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;How about a hot tub? Boiled toad anyone?\&quot; Sinister snickered.</p>

<p>\&quot;We still have a job to do. Everybody keep your wits about you. I bet the chlorine wouldn't treat your warty hide too well anyhow,\&quot; Aluminus muttered. \&quot;What are we doing here anyways Sinny old buddy?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Ah yes, about that.... I need to go find something. I'll be right back. Why don't you check out the skylights in that big grossly intimidating building over there. It'll change your life, I mean it.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;I can't imagine how seeing the sky from inside a building is going to be anything earth shatteringly resplendent or life altering,\&quot; Shear pondered. \&quot;But curiosity's got the best of me.\&quot; Shear slowly moved towards the big black building as Sinister noisily tramped his way further into the city.</p>

<p>\&quot;It's pretty well fortified,\&quot; Aluminus noted. \&quot;We could set up base here. I'm not sure what we're going to be up against. Sin's been pretty vague.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;I'm pretty sure he hasn't told us anything whatsoever,\&quot; Shear quietly murmured as she approached the opened doors and tried to sneak a peak at the ceiling. \&quot;I can't see the skylights. I guess we'll have to go right inside.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Me first! ME FIRST!\&quot; toade squeaked excitedly as she bolted towards the vaulted hall that awaited the group.</p>

<p>\&quot;No no! Me!\&quot; Shear blared as she leaped into the lead.</p>

<p>Aluminus glared after the pair as they scrambled into the hall. \&quot;What's got into those two! It could be dangerous in here.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;JAJAJAJ! DON'T YOU TRUST YOUR FRIEND, GREAT LEADER?! HE SAYS IT IS GOOD AND SAFE!\&quot; Zagretronian laffed as he charged after the ladies.</p>

<p>Alumins shrugged. \&quot;Guess we better see what's in there then.\&quot;</p>

<p>When Aluminus, Bloodgeon, Amphibitron, and mAGma finally caught up with the others, they found their friends staring at the ceiling in spellbound fascination. \&quot;I thought it was all grey and overcast out there,\&quot; Shear managed to whisper.</p>

<p>\&quot;It is!\&quot; mAGma piped up, gazing up at the ceiling. \&quot;Ooo, look at the red swirls! I like red, reminds me of magma....\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;There's purple sparkles over there,\&quot; toade said as she mechanically moved further into the hall.</p>

<p>\&quot;There's something very strange about this,\&quot; Aluminus sighed as he also walked further into the hall. \&quot;Have you ever seen such a complete blackness as the sky is through this skylight? So black, so very distracting.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;I SEE MYSELF UP THERE,\&quot; Zag marveled. \&quot;I LIKE IT!\&quot;</p>

<p>A loud creaking sounded from the walls about the group as they all stared transfixed at the ceiling. A moaning wind blew through the still open doors, and then all at once, half of the group vanished!</p>

<p>\&quot;HEY! WHO TURNED OUT THE LIGHTS!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Holy robobits! It's a giant magnet!\&quot; toade screeched at Amphibitron and the bull who were the only ones still standing on the floor.</p>

<p>\&quot;I wouldn't try running anywhere my froggy friend,\&quot; Sinister intoned from the doorway. \&quot;There's no way out.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Traitor!\&quot; Shear yelled.</p>

<p>Aluminus cursed. \&quot;How didn't I see this coming!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;You are all my prisoners now, throw down your weapons. If you can!\&quot; Sinister giggled.</p>

<p>toade willingly obliged and then threw her hands in the air. \&quot;Don't kill me!!\&quot;</p>

<p>Amph slid her strangely unmagnetized pocket knife across the floor away from herself and sat, waiting.</p>

<p>\&quot;BRING BACK THE PICTURE THAT WAS OF ME!!\&quot; Zagretronian bellowed as he charged at Sinister who coolly pulled out a taser gun and immobilized the bull.</p>

<p>\&quot;Good. Now that that's all wrapped up, we can move on with my plans.\&quot; But just then, mAGma started dripping down off the ceiling. He was liquid mAGma!</p>

<p>The pool of mAGma quickly slid across the floor and down a drain in the floor.</p>

<p>\&quot;Hm, now you've got magma in your water works,\&quot; Aluminus observed.</p>&quot;

<p>All caught up and firmly contained, inwardly Metatron smiled, this KZZZRTK! Something was amisszzzzk buzzz sure buzzz, someONE was amiss! \&quot;Hmmmnot PoZZZZssible!\&quot; Metatron scrambled to scan all internal functionings, something was lodging itself too consciously, too sentiently into his core processors. \&quot;Must guard spark!

Destroy it now or you too shall suffer the same fate, let's go on a blind date, NOw sinister! You have your orderszzt!\&quot;</p>

<p>Sinister pulled off his canopy shield and cocked his rifle, it was time to go puddle jumping \&quot;Thy will be done.\&quot; [for now] He charged off down a hallway to the coolant reservoirs.</p>

<p>\&quot;HEY GUAO JAJA FROM UP HERE I CAN DO POO FROM VERY HIGH!\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus grimaced, and then smiled, Kup once told a story of how they beat the Shrykebats of Dromedon, they inverted polarities! But then there were an awful lot of casualties that day, well no sacrifice no victory. He struggled to get an arm free to press those few critical buttons.</p>&quot;

<p>Shear shakily tensed and managed to roll her head to the side. \&quot;Inverted Polarities? Al we haven't got a generator.\&quot; Aluminus smirked, \&quot;Yet! Can you free your strongest Rotor arm up?\&quot; Shear Tensed further, fighting the overstrong magnetic current until her arm got stiffly free and then clanged UP near Aluminus, microns closer she could have taken out an optic!</p>

<p>Aluminus wielded up his Photon Blade and head mounted laser and began a busy droning whirring as his towing cable unreeled a length of cable from his shoulder mounted winch. \&quot;Winch wench Winch haha kidding, okay catch hold of an end of that, rotate anterior blades 200 x Spin to 50x Spiral linear windup ratio.\&quot; Shear paused trying to put that all together then \&quot;What the kinky slag are you proposing?\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus sighed, \&quot;Just do it!\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear tied the cable hook to her Wakizashi Tailblades array and proceeded a slow steady spinning windup process. Bloodgeon watched all this steadily, not curiously but some interest kept his optics following proceedings.</p>

<p>Aluminus Zapped with his head laser a thin cutting beam of light severing the cable, he was almost down to 10% length on his spool, he would need to get more reel, as funny as that sounded. \&quot;SHear ok good, not start spinning, we're going to make a reverse polarity antimagnetic field generator. Bloodgeon, wake up handsome. I need you to supply an electrical power, can you do this?\&quot; Bloodgeon looked down at himself, thinking, this poor clumped collected frankenstein bot didn't quite know himself yet beyond the intuitive. Bloodgeon flipped his shovel arm open and revealed a previously undiscovered Arc Cannon array. He nodded \&quot;Yes, Aluminus. I do appear to have something like this.\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus thumbsupped, that was one well designed robot! He'd worry about the rest later. \&quot;Give her a few volts then, on the blades, not enough to fry her, but get those badblades nice and sparky. Shear? Spin and spin fast.\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear was confused! \&quot;Nononono wait wait which way? Clockwise or counterclockwise? Righty tighty? Lefty loosey?\&quot;</p>

<p>Bloodgeon shrugged and looked to the more archaic ZAGRETRONIAN \&quot;SORRY CLOCKWISE? I DUNNO WHAT MEANS THAT! I ONLY KNOW DIGITAL AND HOURGLASS TIME! SUNDIALS TIME JAJAJA.\&quot; Bloodgeon guessed, and spun his finger slowly from 12 a half crescent down to 6, Shear nodded and spun with Bloodgeon helping hold her arm up and out of the magnetic trap surface to keep from chopping herself up. Being as mixed up and arranged of so many different alloys and anomalous currents he had less problem with the magnetic gravity well than the puresteels did. The plan was slowly working!</p>

<p>Shear's reverse polarity magnetic buffer was expanding and the ZAGRETRONIAN being of his heavy gold surface dropped first but quickly grabbed Bloodgeon's ankle \&quot;YEOWP!\&quot; Bloodgeon flailed in midair and fell down with the bullbot. He was still holding onto Shear who was pulled weightily down with them, but with her went the reverse current! And there was still Aluminus left! \&quot;Well that certainly worked out as expected.\&quot; Shear was having none of this \&quot;We'll haveto destroy the magnet on you to bring you down!\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus looked at Bloodgeon suddenly exposing and arming more cannons than he remembered installing on him and the ZAGRETRONIAN ready to generate an earthquake! THat looked way too dangerous, and those two were still unstable variables. Aluminus shook his head frantically, \&quot;No uh uh no way, no. You three go after Sinister and mAGma stop them both if you have to but nothing inside this place must be allowed to be damaged.\&quot;</p>

<p>Shear paused at the door undecided then tore herself away on after the pursuing twosome with the ZAGRETRONIAN and Bloodgeon rumbling behind in their Bull and Tankractor modes.</p>

<p>\&quot;Oh yeah, She's in Gooood hands, sigh..\&quot; Aluminus looked around, \&quot;Okay now big guy it's just you and me and...,\&quot; He looked quickly around for the two frog things. Where did those things go off to now? \&quot;...and me and you then. Let us... talk?\&quot;</p>

<p>A tremor passed through the ceiling and plates moved aside symetrically, forming a face. Metatron! Aluminus gasped in horrid recognition! \&quot;Ssszztate your m1nd! I'm eye aye in no00 mo0d for four 4 sm4l7 T@Lk.\&quot;</p>&quot;

<p>Sinister sped up his running, holstering his rifle he figured this speed wasinsufficient for scouring the Metascape for his metascaped target. He figured it was time to \&quot;Get Wheel\&quot;! He dove for the floor and in mid air rapidly reconfigured to his Van mode. He sped up faster than most ordinary terrestrial vans go.</p>

<p>\&quot;Scanning, I'll find you yet. What are you my chippy friend? How are you doing this voodoo you're doing so well?\&quot; He skidded around a corner in a fury of squeeling custom fatboy tires and roaring engine \&quot;I mean what is it? Nanites? Polyalloys? Mercurochromium Dextronics?\&quot;</p>

<p>He flicked on headlights as he entered a tunnel without thinking, without thought is what led to what happened next. \&quot;Shoulda known anything arriving in with that amoral amphibian pair couldn't be good for the interiors.\&quot; What he missed was a slick glowing red puddle, without thought he slid spinning, desperately trying to regain control he hopped up out of van form and planted his feet in mid slide, but cartwheel tumbled and crashed unceremoniously into an unforgivign steel wall! |oo&lt;&lt;KLASH!&lt;&lt;&lt; Laying in a heap, furious at himself he strggled to pull out his muffler rifle and frowned, the thing was bent into a U shape by the impact. Then the glowing firebrick red matter began flowing up over his leg joints and hands. Sinister panicked, he had few phobias left over in this newest incarnation, but losing control of any situation was still one of them. He tried to supress a scream.</p>&quot;

<p>.but it froze Bloodgeon in his tracks, and nearly clotheslined the running of the bull ZAGRETRONIAN with Bloodgeon's arm in his path. \&quot;Ssshhh, hoof in mouth, loud one!\&quot; Bloodgeon waved his hand down cautiously \&quot;Did you just hear that music?\&quot;</p>

<p>The ZAGRETRONIAN winced, shrugged \&quot;I HEAR NOTHING BLOODBRO, OR MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE SHAKIRA SITTING ON A HOT ROCK?\&quot; His horned head swiveled left and right scanning, and sniffing. \&quot;PHEW!\&quot;</p>

<p>Bloodgeon mused at the transorganic scanning abilities, an odd twitch in his left eye, and assumed his own scanning. \&quot;Hmmm, plasmic corrosive or hypoactive molecular dissimilant ahead, temperature volcanic, configuration mutable.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;WHAT MEANS THAT?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;It means mAGma, my bullowing cohunter, mAGma.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;MAGMA? WHAT'S HE DOING?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;He's zeroing in on us thanks to Your Loud Voice! Armor up and weapons locked and loaded, your urge to become browned burrito stuffing isn't going to take me with it. Defend yourself or it's every bot for itself, and I flat promise you will perish before I do.\&quot; Bloodgeon shifted gruesomely to a robotoid mass of bristling weaponry and clawed limbs with the growl of deviant hydraulic setups and the howl of condensed evils.<br />
\&quot;WHAT?! BUT DEFEND MYSELF AGAINST WHAT? MAGMA OR YOU?\&quot;</p>

<p>Bloodgeon settled into final modings with an oddly happy sigh, \&quot;Good question..,\&quot;</p>&quot;

<p>[Sinister was on his last fringes of insanity here, the glowing red glop was co-opting his hardware intent unknown. But a guess attempted to read it's purpose as restraint, and analysis while it waited on a decision as to what to do with him. His useless bent into a U shapped Muffler rifle lay just out of reach, but a feigned slump of defeat to the left put it in his quick grasp and he fired! Noxious black exhaust smoke issued from the barrel in sickening quantities, coating and almost diluting the pure substance of the magma causing it to hiss and withdraw freeing up some movement!</p>

<p>He stood up quickly, carefully and backed away from the still puddle, noting some corrosion to his paintjob and minor joint fusing but otherwise workable condition. Out of the corner of his sensors he could hear voices, The ZAGRETRONIAN and that other one Bloodgeon from what he could tell. If ever there was a twosome he did NOT want seeing him in this sorry state.., Still they had to be better than that damnable Shear, the prismatic turncoat who eons unspoken had left him for the cold callous reworkings and machinations of his one time close friend Aluminus Kann, now uncertain distant acquaintance.</p>

<p>The detestable rotor whirling vixenbot who in a new form still attracted him almost magnetically in ways he disgusted himself for. The very same who had managed to get the drop on him, blades to his throat and pulling him down and out of sight around a corner with a whispered admonishment! \&quot;Move and you die, so much as compress one single tiny solenoid in your entire chassis and your headware comes off..,\&quot;]</p>&quot;

<p>&gt;I'm all audiographs, let's talk already, Aluminus thought, suspended high above the floor stuck magnetized to Metatron's bottrap. \&quot;I say HEY! Big ominous voice in charge of this place, it's just you and me now! I have questions.\&quot; The walls shuddered with irritation, seems it's attention was elsewhere and it hated being pulled away from inane trivium. A squelching feedback erupted until finally a radio transmission was heard, incomplete but poignant? \&quot;You got Questions? We got Answers, Just call-\&quot; Aluminus mused, so it was games now was it? Who was this to think he would believe any 'bot could only talk in scrambled radio phrases?</p>

<p>\&quot;Fine then, tell me who you are and why you know too uncomfortably much about me, what are your intentions with us?\&quot;</p>

<p>A pause then \&quot;Your own Personal Jesus, Someone to- I hear the Secrets that you keep, when you're talking in your sleep- I just want you to know, you're one of my Kind.\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus had his audiograph tuned and detected somehow this immense system was clipping bits of amplitude modulated radio wave transmissions and splicing them up for language, maybe the speech centers were damaged somehow, it seemed to speak into his mind just fine before. Still it was like speaking pidgin Junkion.., \&quot;Can you tell me just one thing then.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;HeY yEaH!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;What are you doing here? On Earth? Terra? Sol-3? PaxCybertronian Treaty zone Class 5P1K3?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Free your miiind and the Rest will follow!\&quot; And with a hissing of displaced air and shadow, whirling light particles rushed form and filled in shapes with colors to resolve themselves into whatever the beginning of an explanation this complex had to offer. \&quot;I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, til I met yooou- If I could turn back time, if I could find some way- Sweet dreams are made of these-\&quot; Gradually a picture of an immense horned shadow that blotted out the stars behind Cybertron was displayed! \&quot;Shout, Shout Shout, Shout at the Devil!\&quot;</p>

<p>Aluminus felt a chill like freon flow through his circuitry, this was the one! That lost one of centuries ago! An AstroSentinel maybe. A CityShip Guardian Class Autocruiser! History was real vague on these behemoths but one thing was clear, they feared nothing, nothing but the ultra small or intrusive bots, or Unicron Himself. And the heavens help us all if The Chaos Bringer has truly returned to life and to known space.&lt;</p>&quot;
&quot;10&quot;;&quot;59&quot;;&quot;I like that blue bull! That is awesome. I haven't checked this thread in while, must get to reading.  :-&amp;&quot;

<p>On the last day of his vacation trip, the priest hooked a monster fish and proceeded to reel it in.  The guide, holding a net, yelled, \&quot;Look at the size of that Son of a [&trade;&thorn;&ccedil;&ordf;]!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Son, I'm a priest,\&quot; said the priest. <br />
\&quot;Your language is uncalled<br />
for!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;No, Father, that's what kind of fish it is -- it's called a Son of a<br />
[&trade;&thorn;&ccedil;&ordf;] fish!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Really?  Well then, help me land this Son of a [&trade;&thorn;&ccedil;&ordf;]!\&quot; Once in the boat, they marveled at the size of the monster. \&quot;Father, that's the biggest Son of a [&trade;&thorn;&ccedil;&ordf;] I've ever seen.\&quot; \&quot;Yes, it is a big Son of a [&trade;&thorn;&ccedil;&ordf;].  What should I do with it?\&quot; \&quot;Why, eat it, of course.  You've never tasted anything as good as a Son of a [&trade;&thorn;&ccedil;&ordf;]!\&quot;</p>

<p>Elated, the priest headed home to the rectory.  While unloading his gear and his prize catch, Sister Mary inquired about his trip. \&quot;Take a look at t his big Son of a [&trade;&thorn;&ccedil;&ordf;] I caught!\&quot; said the priest.</p>

<p>Sister Mary gasped and clutched her rosary, \&quot;Father!\&quot; \&quot;It's OK, Sister. </p>

<p>That's what kind of fish it is -- it's a Son of a [&trade;&thorn;&ccedil;&ordf;] fish!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Oh, well then, what are you going to do with that big Son of a<br />
[&trade;&thorn;&ccedil;&ordf;]?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Why, eat it, of course.  The guide said nothing compares to the taste of a Son of a [&trade;&thorn;&ccedil;&ordf;].\&quot;</p>

<p>Sister Mary informed the priest that the new Bishop was scheduled to visit in a few days and that they should fix the Son of a [&trade;&thorn;&ccedil;&ordf;] for his dinner. </p>

<p>\&quot;I'll even clean the Son of a [&trade;&thorn;&ccedil;&ordf;]\&quot;, she said.</p>

<p>As she was cleaning the huge fish, the Friar walked in.  \&quot;What are you<br />
doing, Sister?\&quot; he asked.</p>

<p>\&quot;Father wants me to clean this big Son of a [&trade;&thorn;&ccedil;&ordf;] for the new<br />
Bishops' dinner.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Sister!  I'll clean it if you're so upset!  Please watch your language!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;No, no, no, it's called a Son of a [&trade;&thorn;&ccedil;&ordf;] fish.\&quot; \&quot;Really?  Well, in that case, I'll fix up a great meal to go with it, and that Son of a [&trade;&thorn;&ccedil;&ordf;] can be the main course!  Let me know when you've finished cleaning that Son of a [&trade;&thorn;&ccedil;&ordf;].\&quot; On the night of the new Bishop's visit, everything was perfect.  The Friar had prepared an excellent meal.  The wine was fine, and the fish was excellent!</p>

<p>The new Bishop said, \&quot;This is great fish.  Where did you get it?\&quot; \&quot;I caught that Son of a [&trade;&thorn;&ccedil;&ordf;]!\&quot; proclaimed the proud priest. The Bishop's eyes opened wide, but he said nothing. \&quot;And I cleaned the Son of a [&trade;&thorn;&ccedil;&ordf;]!\&quot; exclaimed the Sister. The Bishop sat silent in disbelief.</p>

<p>The Friar added, \&quot;And I prepared the Son of a [&trade;&thorn;&ccedil;&ordf;], using a<br />
special recipe!\&quot;</p>

<p>The new Bishop looked around at each of them.  Slowly a big smile crept across his face as he said,  \&quot;You mother [&fnof;&ccedil;&dagger;]ers are my kind of people!\&quot;</p>

<p>Jojara<br />
The pastor was talking to a group of young children about believing in Jesus and going to heaven.<br />
At the end of his talk, he asked, \&quot;Where do you want to go?\&quot;<br />
\&quot;Heaven!\&quot; they all piped up.<br />
\&quot;And what do you have to be to get there?\&quot;<br />
\&quot;Dead!\&quot;, one boy yelled.</p>

<p>Mant, honey, I call myself a Christian, all right, but I'd rather have a colostomy than be married and would rather have a root canal than a relationship.   At my age, who needs it?  I earn my own living and my childbearing years are long past. </p>

<p>But I'm sure that web site has its uses for religious people who are blatantly looking for somebody to marry.   And they know that nobody will try taking any indecent liberties until after the wedding in the church.....as least, I guess they wouldn't.....:P :P :P</p>

<p>Really, it's kinda neat for those who are into that stuff.</p>&quot;

<p>[I keep the Sasquatch stuff in it's place and Religions and Mythologies in it's own categories. They may be on the same site, but they're wholly their own sections with their own people and own perspectives. Still my favorite quote be \&quot;God save us from your followers!\&quot; Christianity could be taken more seriously if it were represented by finer folk such as yourself, but it's become a magnet for so much hypocracy and fanaticism that I forsook Church for more peaceful communion atop a moonlit mountain, next to a river or lake.

<p>I feel much closer to God down on my river and in the woods than I ever feel inside a church.   Mant, you sound like a recovering Baptist to me.  :D</p>

<p>I don't have a big problem with hypocrisy, as none of us always practice what we preach 100% of the time.   My big problem is with bigotry.   It turns me off like little else.   Hypocrisy is about what we do.  Bigotry is about what we are.   \&quot;Holier than thou/better than thou\&quot; attitudes elicit my profoundest impatience and crankiness.  I have to tell myself that they aren't jerks, they are just unenlightened.</p>

<p>I still go to church, now and then--only when I feel like it--because a worship service don't hoit.   But I take what I want and leave the rest.   At least I finally am able to do that in church.  If the little preacher starts a rant about the evils of homosexuality, for instance, I just tune it out until he moves on to something else.   In fact, this particular preacher is so hilarious--think redneck, goatroping, subliterate, Texas born-again--that it's all I can do to stifle my loud guffaws when he gets on a roll.   But usually, my Sunday morning 12-step meeting in Rosenberg is church to me.   There's infinitely more love, compassion, tolerance and empathy there than you'll find in any church on this earth.  JMO.</p>

<p>For five years or so, I was unable to attend a church service at all because I would get so indignant at the bigotry expressed there and would cop a resentment, which is the number one offender.   So now, even at my advanced age, I feel like I'm still growing, to have reached a point of being able to laugh at it instead fuming and puffing up. (:</p>&quot;

<p>{churches for some folks, are a way to make money, not having a real job, get to tell people how to live and be looked up t and even mildly feared. Christianity, is being degraded and/or replaced by the representations it gives people. God's become more of an individualised experience, sans the sunday crowds and monotonous sermons. and for recovering from religious onslaught I've a recoervering everything, but I must be a glutton for that kinda punishment cause I attract Saviours And Damners alike.}</p>&quot;

<p>Yeah, but right now it's my bedtime.....I had a bad experience and worried all night.   Two of my beloved dogs disappeared for two days and I just knew the nappy neighbors down the road, who despise me, had shot them dead or poisoned them.   Well, one of them showed up this morning like nothing had happened, and I hope the other one will.   At least, I know now that if Topaz (the one still missing) doesn't come back, he may have been run over or lost a fight with some coyotes, who are out in force right now.  Anyway, I still had to work from 12-7, so I'm going back to sleep....but as soon as I can get on there and chat with Mant, I will, when I'm awake.   He's such a great young man in every respect and I'm so happy he married the right young woman.  There's not a lot of that going around.</p>

<p>Guess I was being paranoid, but those neighbors are a real piece of work.  He's a chronic drunkard in his sixties, and she's as nutty as it gets, sicker than he is, also in her sixties!   LOL, God doesn't need to waste any time on punishing them, their own self-inflicted misery and  bitterness is a worse punishment than God would ever do to anybody.  :P   Love, Ella Ellaphant</p>

<p>ELLAPHANTS RULE!  Nappy neigbors drool....and typoes and mispeled wrods are real aggravating to have to go back and corect!</p>&quot;

<p>[Guardian aye. And neighbors will do sick things to people's pets as the lesser evil than actual direct and malicious act. A neighbor of Grandma's once stole their puppy and kitten and threw them in a hole, living, then poured concrete on them, they died buried alive, because soem folks are just too sick in the head to be around people or their pets. Her's to hoping I'be overestimated thse folks capacity for sheer senseless cruelty and your canine pal makes it back home.}</p>&quot;

<p>Thank you both, yes, all dogs are present and accounted for.  I suspected the nappy neighbors because they are so ugly to me.   I don't know if I ever posted it, but they despise me because I gave my pasture to my friends instead of them.   Because their 40-year-old daughter is a cocaine addict and notorious thief,  on probation right now, and the proceeds of everything she steals go right up her arm.  I don't want her coming over here for any reason.  A few years ago I offered to take her to a meeting with me any time, but of course she refused.</p>

<p>They have never done one neighborly thing where I'm concerned in all these years.   They are two of the most miserable, bitter people in the world.   But as long as they leave me alone, I'll leave them alone.</p>

<p>Subject: Fw: Staying healthy!!!!</p>
 
<p>Miss Bea, the church organist, was in her eighties and had never been married. She was much admired for her sweetness and kindness to all. One afternoon the pastor came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room. She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea. As he sat facing her old pump organ, the young minister noticed cut glass bowl sitting on top of it, filled with water. In the water floated, of all things, a condom! When she returned with tea and scones, they began to chat. The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer resist. \&quot;Miss Bea,\&quot; he said, \&quot;I wonder if you would tell me about this?\&quot; pointing to the bowl. \&quot;Oh, yes,\&quot; she replied, \&quot;isn't it wonderful? I was walking downtown a few months ago and I found this little package on the ground. The directions said to place it on the organ, keep it wet, and it would prevent the spread of disease. And you know I haven't had a cold<br />
all winter!\&quot;<br />

<p>[Something else they're getting stirred up about...]</p>

<p>Why Is The Passion of the Christ So Controversial?</p>

<p>Subject: The Film Is Bad for Jews, Worse for Christians</p>

<p>As we have been hearing for too many months, there is a good deal of alarm among Jewish audiences that Mel<br />
Gibson's The Passion of the Christ will prove to be bad for the Jews. Now that the film, surely one of the most extravagantly over-heralded movies of the last several decades, has opened, there is confirmation enough of those fears to be seen by all. But that misses the point of what is really wrong with this film.</p>

<p>The Jews, of course, do not figure very favorably in the original Gospel narratives, and especially not in John, on which Gibson has drawn heavily. Gibson's claim all along has been that he means to offer a faithful representation of the Passion narrative as it appears in the New Testament, and this involves an implicit rejection of any high-minded revisionist efforts on the part of the Vatican to exculpate the Jews when the plain intent of the Gospels was to inculpate them. Thus the Jews throw stones at Jesus, as in John, and in all four Gospels, quite spectacularly, when Pilate tells them he has no case against Jesus and is prepared to free him, they shout, \&quot;Crucify him, crucify,\&quot; and Pilate is compelled to succumb to the demands of the blood-thirsty Jewish mob. In Matthew, he actually washes his hands in the presence of the crowd, announcing, \&quot;My hands are clean of this man's blood.\&quot;</p>

<p>Bent on fidelity, Gibson has incorporated all this in the film, but it should be said that he has also ratcheted everything up a couple of notches. Pilate comes across not merely as a hesitant, not altogether bad Roman official but as an eminently civilized man, reflective, fair-minded, disinclined to use violent measures, in the end constrained to act against his own better instincts by the brutal, vengeful Jews. (Pilate, who speaks Aramaic to the mob in the film, has a chance to engage in some Latin conversation with Jesus. Though the fluency in that language on the part of a Galilean carpenter may seem a little surprising, one must assume that divinity here trumps linguistic plausibility.) The lingering shots of the screaming, fist-shaking Jewish crowd are not likely to endear their descendants to Christian audiences, though perhaps this effect is somewhat mitigated by the fact that the High Priest and his ecclesiastical cronies, no doubt intended to appear vaguely rabbinical, actually look more like Greek Orthodox priests by the cut of their beards and the elegant design of their pseudo-sacerdotal costumes.</p>

<p>In any case, the hostility with which the Jews are drawn is not the fundamental problem of the film. The Roman soldiers, in fact, who torture Jesus and hammer him to the cross are even scarier, far outdoing the Jews in sheer physical brutality. I detect a certain anti-populist tilt in these images. You can be a Roman and a decent person if you happen to be a member of the aristocratic elite--Pilate, his wife, his chief military officer--but the simple foot soldiers are almost all vicious animals. On the Jewish side, the mob is nothing but ugly, and the priestly officials are a false elite, no more than a pompous extension of the savage mob. The only redeemable Jews, of course, are Jesus' loyal followers, who constitute a small, embattled spiritual elite.</p>

<p>If The Passion of the Christ is, inescapably, bad for the Jews (at an unfortunate moment, it should be said, when old anti-Semitic fires have been rekindled), it is worse for Catholicism and worst of all for film, at least as a medium for representing spiritual subjects. Gibson works from the first frame to the last on the assumption that cinematic truth is the truth of the literal physical image, and the result is altogether mind-numbing. The decision to do the dialogue, apart from a bit of Latin, in subtitled Aramaic, is driven by this same literalist notion of authenticity. The Aramaic is a mixed success, some of it a little garbled, including, of all things, the word for messiah, meshikha, pronounced here, in a conflation of the Hebrew, as meshiakha.</p>

<p>We get very little of the Passion story or of the Christ figure except the sheer, unspeakable physical suffering of the victim of the crucifixion. A bare indication in the Gospel text, \&quot;Pilate now took Jesus and had him flogged,\&quot; is turned into 15 minutes onscreen of nonstop beating with hideous barbed whips and worse.</p>

<p>The maceration of Jesus' flesh is so overdone that it becomes, as my companion at the movie remarked, a kind of barbecue-sauce version of the Suffering Servant. After all that, it is scarcely credible that Jesus is still conscious, not to say sufficiently erect to walk on the Via Dolorosa. Gibson in effect has given us an extreme concentration of the sadomasochistic element in Catholic iconography with most of the spirituality left out. One wonders, in fact, how film might go about seriously representing spirituality.</p>

<p>There surely must be some way to transcend this sheer wallowing in violence, counterpointed by old Hollywood cliches such as swelling choruses of sublime music on the soundtrack and panning shots of the sky with beams of sunlight breaking through the clouds.<br />

<p>{Here's something to cheer you both up!}</p>

<p>FW: A new Priest</p>

<p>Love, Light and Peace ...</p>

<p>A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak.<br />
After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.<br />
The monsignor replied, \&quot; When I am worried about getting nervous<br />
On the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass.<br />
If I start to get nervous, I take a sip.\&quot;<br />
So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice.<br />
At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink.<br />
He proceeded to talk up a storm.<br />
Upon his return to his office after the mass, he found the following note on the door:</p>

<p>1)   Sip the vodka, don't gulp.</p>

<p>2) There are 10 commandments, not 12.</p>

<p>3) There are 12 disciples, not 10.</p>

<p>4) Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.</p>

<p>5) Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.</p>

<p>6) We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.</p>

<p>7) The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the spook.</p>

<p>8) David slew Goliath, he did not kick the shit out of him.</p>

<p>9) When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his ass.</p>

<p>10)We do not refer to the cross as the \&quot;Big T.\&quot;</p>

<p>11)When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, \&quot;take this and eat it for it is my body.\&quot; He did not say \&quot; Eat me\&quot; .</p>

<p>12)The Virgin Mary is not called \&quot; Mary with the Cher ry,.</p>

<p>13)The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, Yeah God.</p>

<p>14)Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at ST.Peter's not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's.</p>&quot;

Ruth Ann decided it was time that her three sons get baptized. So, after weeks of suitable instruction one bright Sunday morning they were on their way to church where the three boys, 8, 9, and 11, would have their sins washed away. The 9 year old was particularly pensive that day, and when Ruth Ann asked him what he was thinking about, his reply was in the form of a question. \&quot;Mom, may I go first?\&quot; \&quot;Why?\&quot; \&quot;Because, I don't want to be baptized in water that has all of my brother's sins floating around in it.\&quot;<br />

<p>{lol, here's another piss joke for ya! Kinda explains the whole thing from the beginning...,}</p>

<p>Why do men pee standing up? God was just about done creating man, but<br />
he had two things left over in his bag and He couldn't quite decide how<br />
to split them between Adam and Eve.He thought He might just as well ask<br />
them. He told them one of the things He had left was a thing that would<br />
allow the owner to pee while standing up. \&quot;It's a very handy thing,\&quot; God<br />
told them, \&quot;and I was wondering if either one of you had a preference<br />
for it.\&quot; Well, Adam jumped up and down and begged, \&quot;Oh, please give that<br />
to me!  I'd love to be able to do that! It seems like just the sort<br />
of thing a man should have.Please! Pleeease! Give it to me!\&quot; On and on<br />
he went like an excited little boy. Eve just smiled andtold God that if<br />
Adam really wanted it so badly, he could have it. So God gave Adam the<br />
thing that allowed him to pee standing up. Adam was so excited he just<br />
started whizzin all over th e place - first on the side of a rock, then<br />
he wrote his name in the sand, and then he tried to see if he could<br />
hit a stump ten feet away - laughing with delight all the while. God<br />
and Eve watched him with amusement and then God said to Eve, \&quot;Well, I<br />
guess you're kind of stuck with the last thing I have left. \&quot;What's it<br />
called?\&quot; asked Eve.</p>

<p>\&quot;Brains\&quot;, said God</p>&quot;

<p>It's a cute joke..... but I absolutely abhor male-bashing, even if it's done by a guy.   Whenever any of my female friends send me a male-bashing joke, ridiculing men, I just delete it without reading it once I see what it contains.  Or I write them back, telling them to knock it off, because I find such \&quot;humor\&quot; grossly distasteful.  I tell them not to send me anything else like that.   Now, most of them don't.</p>

<p>Men and women are equally important and equally valuable,  and any opinion should be formed about the individual, regardless of which gender.   Women who promote such sick humor are, IMHO, hanging on to a resentment at some man or other in their own past, whom they chose out of their own dysfunctional way of life, and it makes them look so bad as human beings, not just as women, that they become disgusting in every respect.

<p>Wow Ella :S so if i told you the humourous side of the female quirk you would shun me too?... funny is funny...we are all equally able to enable ourselves... some of us use humour to enlighten the next generation that there are still differences of thinking via sarcasm...men think differently from women...science fact...and i am laughing i'm a woman that thinks closer to the male psyche so most women shun me...when men jest that they mostly think of food , cars, comfort and etc it actually is a fact...the majority of women still want to help them find that and the man wants it ( now it gets heavily confusing) because he's 'earned' it the hard part for both sex's is understanding that if she's working too it means it's a team.  It comes down to the crunch every generation we are here...how much value is life and love? and each of us decide what we want to learn</p>

<p>..so enlightening both sides of their right as a human to 'choose' is hard...but laughter also works it's charms to make some see that things can be fixed...every message told is a message to self Ella, i'm forever reminding myself of the differences between my actual thinking and males thinking (helps that my real male brain friends think back at me)...but women and men are different...we are equal but we are different...and sometimes humour gives that extra lacking insight that makes people like my Great Aunt stay married to my Great Uncle for going on 63 years as they now keep each other alive...love and light Ella</p>&quot;

ANOTHER 40 YEARS</p>

<p> A middle aged woman had a heart attack and was taken to the<br />
hospital.</p>

<p> While on the operating table she had a near death experience.</p>

<p> Seeing God she asked \&quot;Is my time up?\&quot;</p>

<p> God said, \&quot;No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to  live.</p>

<p> Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have<br />
a  facelift, liposuction, and a tummy tuck. She even had someone come<br />
in  and change her hair colour.</p>

<p>Since she had so much more time to live,  she figured she might as well make the most of it. After her last  operation, she was released from the hospital.</p>

<p>While crossing the  street on her way home, she was killed by an ambulance.</p>

<p> Arriving in front of God, she demanded, \&quot;I thought you said I had<br />
 another 40 years? Why didn't you pull me out of the path of the<br />
 ambulance?\&quot;<br />
 ( You'll love this!!!) ..</p>
 
<p>God replied, \&quot;I didn't recognize you.\&quot;<br />

<p>[Ah I don't let the manbashing get to me, I reconcile myself with they either do it because they're single, or single because they do it, lol. Well, that's a harsh assesment or assumption anyways. I think what makes Gender so cool is that we are different, I mean, we see things differently, and the key to smoothing over all of that is laughing at our own absurd beliefs about eachother. You can look at a joke like that and maybe think of any certain somebody, but never generalize. People are way to diverse for even God to categorize, hence why he/she/it lets us be different.]</p>

<p>[Yeah I know, I said the God word, I profess to an understanding as close as I can allow myself, without going back to the Dark Ages, of the Idea that there's someone or two or three or more, that is'nt gonna burn us to a crisp if we cuss on a sunday, but still watches us using our gift of free choice to find our way to him and what comes after our last breaths.]</p>&quot;

<p>I went through a period of my life that lasted years, after my second divorce, in which I truly hated men and believed they have no feelings and that they only want one thing:  To hurt women.  Now I understand that it was a survival skill that I no longer have any use for.  I realized that about four years ago, and while I sure don't want any R-word (\&quot;relationship\&quot;, as they're calling it now), I finally realized that when forming my opinion of someone, it should be on an individual basis and not based on gender.  It's easier to believe that all men are evil, exploitative brutes than to admit that my experience of them had been based on my own dysfunctional choices.   A lot of guys feel the same about women as I used to feel about men, and their opinion is equally invalid and mistaken.</p>

<p>But oh, how I used to rant and rave against the guys like a terminally broken record, and I shudder to think of how it must have sounded to sane human beings.  That's why I hate to hear male-bashing, even as a joke.</p>

<p>Even though I'm too old and set in my ways to have any desire for a man in my life at this point, I do love men.  They have always distracted my heart.  Why, some of my best friends are men, and yes, I WOULD like my daughter to marry one.  In fact, she is now engaged to marry a fine young man who thinks as much of her as she thinks of herself, and vice versa.   They have not set a date, but sometime around the first of the coming year.   Better her than me.  :P</p>&quot;

<p>It took me forever to get the Mrs to trust me, she's been burnt to a crisp by coldhearted male types, and here I am been brainfried by most female authority figures in my family and all.</p>

<p>How we manage is we lump it all together as US and THEM, and some of them aint all that bad, so instead of being judged, we do the judging, lol. ere's another joke, this one a little less edgy.</p>

A Rabbi, a Minister and a Wiccan Priestess&hellip;</p>

<p>A rabbi, a Unitarian Universalist minister, and a Wiccan priestess decided to go on a fishing trip together. They went down to their local lake, rented a boat, and went out on to the lake for a day of fishing.</p>

<p>As the afternoon approached, the trio got hungry&mdash;and realized that they left their lunches on the shore of the lake.</p>

<p>The minister got out of the boat, walked across the lake, got his lunch, walked back, and sat down to eat his lunch.</p>

<p>\&quot;You should have gotten all of our lunches!\&quot; scolded the priestess. She then got up, walked across the lake, picked up her lunch as well as the rabbi's, walked back across the lake, and sat down, handing the rabbi his afternoon meal.</p>

<p>The rabbi at this point is almost out of his mind, his eyes wide with shock. He manages to sputter, \&quot;Wha... what... how did you...?\&quot;</p>

<p>The minister grins at the priestess, nudges her, and asks \&quot;Do you think we should tell him about the rocks?\&quot;</p>

<p>The priestess looks at the minister, raises an eyebrow, and replies \&quot;What rocks?\&quot;</p>

Good thing that practice has ceased, NOT! They're still at it.

<p>It is something you can do,<br />

<p>Look at the gifts,<br />
     He's bestowed without your prayer.</p>

<p>The song of a bird,<br />
      as it glides along the air.</p>

<p>A place to rest your head,<br />

<p>Mant, anything in this world that we obsess about is self-destructive, be it money, alcohol, other drugs, food, social positon, people, what other people think....you name it.   I wouldn't say no to a $ transfusion either, but enough is as good as a feast.  :)</p>&quot;

<p>Adam was hanging around the garden of Eden feeling very lonely. </p>

<p>So, God asked him, \&quot;What's wrong with you?\&quot;</p>

<p>Adam said he didn't have anyone to talk to.</p>

<p>God said that He was going to make Adam a companion and that it would be a woman. </p>

<p>He said, \&quot;This pretty lady will gather food for you, she will cook for you, and when you discover clothing, she will wash it for you. </p>
  
<p>She will always agree with every decision you make and she will not nag you, and will always be the first to admit she was wrong when you've had a disagreement. She will<br />
praise you! </p>

<p>She will bear your children. <br />
and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them. </p>

<p>\&quot;She will NEVER have a headache and will freely give you love and passion whenever you need it.\&quot; </p>

<p>Adam asked God, \&quot;What will a woman like this cost?\&quot;</p>

<p>God replied, \&quot;An arm and a leg.\&quot; </p>

<p>Then Adam asked, \&quot;What can I get for a rib?\&quot;</p>

<p>Of course the rest is history...................... <br />

<p>Help Us Remember<br />
Heavenly Father,</p>

<p>Help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children.</p>

<p>Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man who can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student, balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not getting his student loans for next semester.</p>

<p>Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in the same spot every day (who really ought to get a job!) is a slave to addictions that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares.</p>

<p>Help us to remember that the old couple walking annoyingly slow through the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are savoring this moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this will be the last year that they go shopping together.</p>

<p>Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love. It is not enough to share that love with those we hold dear. Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us, but to all humanity.<br />
Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive, show patience, empathy and love.<br />

<p>One definition of sin is the inability to empathize.   As for the homeless man on the corner, I used to be enslaved to the same addictions that he still is.   Unfortunately, the Program is not for those who need it but for those who want it.  All the need in the world can't motivate anyone to make that phone call or check out that meeting.  You have to believe that a better life is possible, and have the ambition to get it....and the desire to stop drinking and/or using in order to get out of the h*ll you are in.   We can't do that for anybody, it has to come from the person who is suffering from the addiction.</p>

<p>Well, speaking of that, gotta get off and get ready to go--not to church, but to my 11:00 meeting in Rosenberg at the Club.  That is church to me and far better than any church service I've ever attended in terms of unconditional love and spiritual help.  JMO.   Later dude....</p>

<p>&gt;IMHAO, There are too many versions of the Bible, and they are'nt doing too well either, take a look!&lt;</p>

<p>Today's question:Funny Bibles<br />
Well, there is a brisk trade in misprinted (errant, the printed version of the idea of infallibility is inerrancy) Bibles.</p>

<p>I've listed some of the most famous (should I say infamous?) below, with the gaffes that made them so funny to us bibliophile types.</p>

<p>The \&quot;Charing Cross Bible\&quot; and the \&quot;Buggre Alle This Bible\&quot;, mentioned in Pratchett and Gaiman's  hilarious 'Good Omens' book, do not actually exist, sadly. It would have made Sunday school a lot more fun.</p>

<p>The Orange Catholic Bible, also doesn't exist anyplace but in Frank Herbert's Dune novels. However, any book that's holiest commandment is \&quot;Thou shalt not disfigure the soul\&quot; doesn't seem to bad, either.I was arguing with someone about the infallibility of the Bible. They said that the Bible is always right and every word is sacred. I say that's not true. What do you think?The Most famous Misprints:</p>

<p>The Breeches Bible, 1560 Adam and Eve \&quot;sowed figge-tree leaves together and made themselves breeches\&quot; (Genesis 3:7)</p>

<p>The Bug Bible, 1535 \&quot;Thou shalt not need to be afrayd for eny bugges by night\&quot; (Psalm 91:5)</p>

<p>The Discharge Bible, 1806 \&quot;I discharge theee... that thou observe these things\&quot;, instead of \&quot;I charge thee\&quot;</p>

<p>The Ears to Ear Bible, 1810 \&quot;Who hath ears to ear, let him hear\&quot; (Matt 13:43)</p>

<p>The Fool Bible (Unknown) \&quot;the fool hath said in his heart there is a God\&quot; [instead of no God]. The printers wher fined 3,000 pounds and all copies were supressed. (Psalm 14:1)</p>

<p>The Judas Bible, 1611 reads \&quot;Judas\&quot; instead of \&quot;Jesus\&quot;.( Matthew 26:36)</p>

<p>The Idle Shepherd Bible, 1809 \&quot;idol shepherd\&quot; printed as \&quot;the idle shephard\&quot; (Zechariah 11:17)</p>

<p>The Large Family Bible, 1820 \&quot;Shall I bring to birth and not cease to bring forth?\&quot;   for \&quot;for cause to bring forth\&quot;( Isaiah 66:9)</p>

<p>The Lions Bible, 1804 \&quot;The murderer shall surely be put together\&quot; instead of \&quot;to death\&quot; (Num. 25:18)</p>

<p>And\&quot;&hellip;but thy son that shall come forth out of thy lions&hellip;\&quot; instead of \&quot;out of thy loins\&quot;(Kings 8:19)</p>

<p>The More Sea Bible, 1641 \&quot;the first heaven and the first earth were passed away and there was more sea.\&quot; Instead of \&quot;&hellip;there was no more sea.\&quot;</p>

<p>The Murderers Bible, 1801\&quot;These are murderers, complainers...\&quot;, instead of \&quot;murmurers\&quot; (Jude 16)</p>

<p>The Placemakers Bible, 1562\&quot; Blessed are the placemakers\&quot; instead of peacemakers (Matt 5:9)</p>

<p>The Printers' Bible, 1702\&quot;Printers have persecuted me without a cause\&quot;, instead of \&quot;princes\&quot; (Psalm 119:161)</p>

<p>The Rebekah's Camels Bible, 1823\&quot;Rebekah arose, and her camels\&quot;, instead of \&quot;her damsels\&quot; (Genesis 24:61)</p>

<p>The Sin On Bible, 1716\&quot;Go and sin on more\&quot; instead of \&quot;sin no more.\&quot; (John 5:14)</p>

<p>The Standing Fishes Bible 1806\&quot;And it shall come to pass that the fishes shall stand on it\&quot; instead of \&quot;fishers\&quot; (Ezekiel 47:10)</p>

<p>The Sting Bible, 1746 \&quot;straightway his ears were opened, and the sting of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.\&quot; Instead of \&quot;and the string of his tongue was loosed \&quot;(Mark 7:35)</p>

<p>The To Remain Bible 1805 \&quot;he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the spirit to remain, even so it is now\&quot; (Galations 4:29) (A proofreader queried a comma after 'the spirit'  and the editor pencilled in \&quot;to remain\&quot;)</p>

<p>Subject: Forest Gump goes to heaven</p>

<p>AMEN to all of us who look at life a little differently...........</p>

<p>    The day finally arrived. Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He is at the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself. However, the gates are closed and Forrest approaches the Gatekeeper.</p>

<p>    St. Peter says, \&quot;Well, Forrest, it's certainly good to see you. We have heard a lot about you.</p>

<p>    I must tell you, though, that the place is filling up fast,and we've been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The test is short, but you have to pass it before you can get into Heaven.\&quot;</p>

<p>    Forrest responds, \&quot;It shor is good to be here, St. Peter, sir. But ain't nobody ever tolt me about any entrance exam. Shor hope the test ain't too hard; life was a big enough test as it was.\&quot;</p>

<p>    St. Peter goes on, \&quot;Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test is only three questions:</p>

<p>    First: What two days of the week begin with the letter T?</p>

<p>  Second: How many seconds are there in a year?</p>

<p>  Third: What is God's first name?\&quot;</p>

<p>    Forrest leaves to think the questions over. He returns the next day and sees St. Peter who waves him up and says, \&quot;Now that you have had a chance to think the questions over, tell me your answers.\&quot;</p>

<p>    Forrest says, \&quot;Well, the first one -- which two days in the week begin<br />
  with the letter \&quot;T\&quot;?</p>

<p>    Shucks, that one's easy. That'd be Today and Tomorrow.\&quot;</p>

<p>    The Saint's eyes open wide and he exclaims, \&quot;Forrest, that's not what I was thinking, but you do have a point, and I guess I didn't specify, so I'll give you credit for that answer. How about the next one?\&quot; asks St. Peter. \&quot;How many seconds in a year?\&quot;</p>

<p>    Now that one's harder,\&quot; says Forrest,\&quot;but I thunk and thunk about that and I guess the only answer can be twelve.\&quot;</p>

<p>    Astounded, St. Peter says, \&quot;Twelve? Twelve!? Forrest, how in Heaven's name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?\&quot; Forrest says \&quot;Shucks, there's gotta be twelve: January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd. . .\&quot;</p>

<p>    \&quot;Hold it,\&quot; interrupts St. Peter.<br />
\&quot;I see where you're going with this, and I see your point,though that wasn't quite what I had in mind..... but I'll have to give you credit for that one, too. Let's go on with the third and final question. Can you tell me God's first name\&quot;?</p>

<p>    \&quot;Sure\&quot; Forrest replied, \&quot;its Andy.\&quot;</p>

<p>    ANDY!!!!!,exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St. Peter. \&quot;Ok, I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first two questions, but just how in the world did you come up with the name ANDY as the first name of God?\&quot;<br />
  \&quot;Shucks, that was the easiest one of all,\&quot; Forrest replied. \&quot;I learnt it from the song. . . .</p>

<p>\&quot;ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN...\&quot;</p>

<p>    St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates and said:</p>

<p>\&quot;RUN,FORREST,RUN!!!!\&quot;</p>

<p>    Give me a sense of humor, Lord,<br />
  Give me the grace to see a joke,<br />
  To get some humor out of life,<br />
  And pass it on to other folks.<br />
    HAVE A BLESSED DAY!</p>&quot;

<p>Thought this was kind of funny.  Thought I would share.  I hope you enjoy.</p>
 
<p>There were 3 good arguments that Jesus was Black:</p>
 
<p>1.      He called everyone \&quot;brother\&quot;<br />
2.      He liked Gospel<br />
3.      He couldn't get a fair trial.</p>
 
<p>But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Jewish:</p>
 
<p><br />
1.      He went into His Fathers business.</p>

<p>2.      He lived at home until he was 33.</p>

<p>3.      He was sure his Mother was a virgin and his mother was sure he<br />
was God.</p>
 
<p>But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Italian:</p>
 
<p>1.      He talked with his hands.<br />
2.      He had wine with every meal.<br />
3.      He used olive oil.</p>
 
<p>But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was a<br />
Californian:</p>

<p>1.      He never cut his hair.</p>

<p>2.      He walked around barefoot all the time.</p>

<p>3.      He started a new religion.</p>
 
<p>But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Irish:</p>
 
<p>1.      He never got married.<br />
2.      He was always telling stories.<br />
3.      He loved green pastures.</p>
 
<p>But the most compelling evidence of all---3 proofs that Jesus was a<br />
woman:</p>
 
<p>1.      He fed a crowd at a moment's notice when there was no food.</p>

<p>2.      He kept trying to get a message across to a bunch of men who<br />
just didn't get it.</p>

<p>3.      And even when he was dead, He had to get up because there was<br />
more work to do</p>&quot;

<p>Once again, coming at you all with more refreshing heresy and uplifting blasphemy, not for the strong of faith:</p>

<p>Was the right man named Pope?</p>

<p>As I understand it, Ratzinger was not the Cardinal's first choice.</p>

<p>That was, interestingly, Cardinal Hans Grapje.</p>

<p>Grapje was raised in a Catholic school in The Hague and, as a young man he was a seminarian who aspired to become a priest; but instead joined the RAF during WWII and spent two years as a Spitfire pilot until his aircraft was shot down in 1943 and he lost his left arm. </p>

<p>Captain Grapje spent the rest of the war as a chaplain in a POW camp giving spiritual aid to soldiers, both Allied and enemy.<br />
After the war, he became a priest, serving as a missionary in Africa, piloting his own plane (in spite of his handicap) to villages across the continent. In 1997, Archbishop Grapje was serving in Zimbabwe when an explosion in a silver mine caused a cave-in.</p>

<p>Archbishop Grapje went down into the mine to administer last rights to those too severely injured to move. Another shaft collapsed, and he was buried for three days, suffering multiple injuries, including the loss of his right eye.</p>

<p>The high silver content in the mine's air gave him purpura, a life-long condition characterized by purplish skin blotches.</p>

<p>Although the now Cardinal Grapje devoted his life to the service of God as a scholar, mentor, and holy man, church leaders felt that he should never ascend to the Papacy.<br />
They felt that the Church would never accept a one-eyed, one-armed, flying purple Papal leader</p>&quot;

<p>E-mail message<br />
Subject: Heaven<br />
Welcome to Heaven<br />
Einstein dies and goes to heaven.</p>

<p>At the Pearly Gates, Saint Peter<br />
tells him, \&quot;You look like Einstein, but you have NO idea the lengths<br />
that some people will go to sneak into Heaven. Can you prove who you really<br />
are?\&quot;</p>

<p>Einstein ponders for a few seconds and asks, \&quot;Could I have a blackboard<br />
and some chalk?\&quot;</p>

<p>Saint Peter snaps his fingers and a blackboard and chalk instantly<br />
appear. Einstein proceeds to describe with arcane mathematics and symbols<br />
his theory of relativity. Saint Peter is suitably impressed. \&quot;You really ARE<br />
Einstein!\&quot; he says. \&quot;Welcome to heaven!\&quot;</p>
 
<p>The next to arrive is Picasso.</p>

<p>Once again, Saint Peter asks for<br />
credentials. Picasso asks, \&quot;Mind if I use that blackboard and chalk?\&quot;</p>

<p>Saint Peter says, \&quot;Go ahead.\&quot;</p>

<p>Picasso erases Einstein's equations and sketches a<br />
truly stunning mural with just a few strokes of chalk. Saint Peter claps.</p>

<p>\&quot;Surely you are the great artist you claim to be!\&quot; he says. \&quot;Come on in!\&quot;</p>

<p>Then Saint Peter looks up and sees George W. Bush</p>

<p>Saint Peter scratches his head and says, \&quot;Einstein and Picasso both managed<br />
to prove their identity. How can you prove yours?\&quot;</p>

<p>George W. looks bewildered and says, \&quot;Who are Einstein and<br />
Picasso?\&quot;</p>

<p>Saint Peter sighs and says, \&quot;Come on in, George.\&quot;</p>&quot;

<p>CindeRose: Hey Meta we lost you! Carlson is telling the Minors story</p>

<p>Metaphorm must be running on small cache today...,<br />
Metaphorm: Miners?</p>

<p>Carlson6: What they heard changed the atheist's mind forever on the existence of hell.<br />
Carlson6: The miners were so frightened they couldn't go back.<br />
Carlson6: No, there are frequent references to hell in the Bible as<br />
being located in the center of the Earth.<br />
Carlson6: They heard the sounds of hell.<br />
Carlson6: Do you know Jacques Cousteau, the famous underwater explorer?</p>

<p>Carlson6: When he was underwater in a cave, he also heard the sounds of<br />
hell.</p>

<p>Carlson6: People have died and gone to hell, but came back to tell their<br />
story.</p>

<p>Metaphorm: Near Hell Experiences.<br />
Metaphorm: Like Dante's Inferno.</p>

<p>Carlson6: Yes, just like Dante's Inferno.</p>

<p>Metaphorm: Abandon all hope all ye who enter here.<br />
Metaphorm: Funny thing is I thought it was just being used as a poem, or<br />
epic, but satanists and demonologists make use of alot of the structure and imagery.<br />
Metaphorm: ?</p>

<p>Carlson6: There did exist a giant race of people at one time.</p>

<p>Metaphorm: The Nephelim</p>

<p>Carlson6: They were the angels kicked out of heaven.</p>

<p>CindeRose: Jews talk of Lillith</p>

<p>Metaphorm: There were giants in the earth in this days.</p>

<p>Carlson6: They actually found the bones of giants.<br />
Carlson6: Hold on one minute while I get my \&quot;hell\&quot; paper.</p>

<p>Metaphorm: Gigantopithicus Blackii, maybe, and some christains believe Sasquatch are the demon offspring of nephelim.</p>

<p>CindeRose: I wanted to name a daughter of mine Lillith</p>

<p>Metaphorm: Some people way back saw elephant skulls as being the skulls<br />
of giant humans and cyclops.<br />
Metaphorm: becauseof the shape and the central orifice where the nasal<br />
cavity was.<br />
Metaphorm: It was a dark and story night....</p>

<p>Carlson6: Ok, I have the title of the website. Sometime tonight look it<br />
up and tell me what you think. There are also stories of people who have gone to hell and lived to tell about it.<br />
<a href="http://amightywind.com/hell/aboutsounds.htm">http://amightywind.com/hell/aboutsounds.htm</a></p>

<p>*This is an attempt to derail the production of a movie based on this book already a worldwide bestseller. The Christains are running scared, scrambling to defend their beliefs, and the validity of everything in the good book, catholics especially. There was another thread on this started by DaVinciDamse but I can't find it, lol.*</p>&quot;

<p>Its just a lot of hub bub. , I thought it was all fiction, No such thing as an original idea. all this does is drag another source into the controversy  against the catholic church, and I think its more Hype than, actuall anger and protest from the catholic church. Its all designed to get people to say , whats all the hub bub.  besides what the hell does dan brown care or hollywood if they have to settle out of court for a couple of million to the guy who they stole it from as long as they get the benifit of the negative advertising. There is more energy spent on creating problems in this world where there are none.</p>

<p>The whole schism between science and chritianity is a good example. and intelligent design. Its apples and oranges. In my mind, and its a fine mind, Chrtistianity or should say \&quot;God\&quot; will never be science , or vicE verA. True faith is not based on facts and figures nor is it based on fairy tales. Everyone needs to chill out, and have pause for thought about what god and life are about for them. Thats where organized religion loses me. If you want to talk about immorality, thats another thing, and I think it has been proven there are \&quot;Bad Actors\&quot; acting badly, on both sides of the isle. I think that it is good to believe in something larger than yourself. there aren't to many more challenging things in  this world than that.  However, I find it hard to understand why anyone would get upset about it. I think the fairy tales in christianity were important as a tool to teach complex ideas about life. Ideas that maybe we could not comprehend as children. ideas and allegories, based on lives of real men, and women. And I think the \&quot;illuminati\&quot; is just as guilty of attacking christians as heritics, by trying to simplify and reduce the concepts to \&quot; bad entertainment\&quot; I also think the church has gone out of its way to try and foul up the \&quot;supreme logic\&quot; of science. Science is just one side of the equation to me. The real problem is that people themselves Are seduced by the ideas of one or the other , and stop using their commom sense, they stop believing in themselves and there beliefs. Who's to say. Science is a tool for creating order where there is chaos. so is God. No matter who you ask I think they might aggree , there are just somethings that can't be explained.  I don't consider that proof. I just think it is an example of our limitations, as human beings. Eventually we will explain it all, and yet that will not negate the existance of god. Apples and Oranges, don't get me started!</p>&quot;

<p>*I do believe in but a few things larger than myself and of officially unsubstantiated value. And they are, Sasquatch, the Scorpio Constellation, the Paranormal, the Validity of All mythologies, somewhere out there in the infinite everything there is a race or two of transforming robots, a universe where a different version of us is Living all those wishes getting all those wants and finding all those perfect loves that to me would be heaven. You look at a house, you talk to a person, you ogle a hot sportscar, and you what if that was mine. I think I got more Wishes than Faith, but 'm not so naive as to think I'll get any of them by clasping my hands and whispering reverently, seems insane to me. But we live on a crazy planet.*</p>&quot;

<p>*My key was to forge for myself my own personal mythology, the core of my own so called being above any and all gods and beings whose values I could emulate. I start to think the key to all religions is unifying all those archetypes of each pantheon and each worthy applicable statute of all the other religions and making it your own. In that way we remake ourselves in the image of the Godself most true to Ourself. This seperation and categorization, imposition of right religion and wrong religion nobody can seem to agree on is actually fracturing the whole of everyone's total and true potential. Maybe a bit like wearing only one sock when a whole outfit that's totally us lies forgotten on the floor. One of my Aunts said I should have considered a career as a man of the Cloth, and I have... Denim. Irreverend Stargoyle, Holy Arm of the Metaphorm, the guiding darkness in false lights, and general all around goofball at your service, lol.*</p>&quot;

<p>Me says: live and let live. Other people have said: live and let live. Me likes the quote: live and let live.</p>

<p>Davinci Code book? Go ahead, write your heart out! Davinci Code movie? You're making money, good for you! Church unhappy? What else is new? Complain away!</p>

<p>God, to me, is what explains the things that I with my finite thoughts and imagination can't explain. God has somehow made up something infinite, and I can't fathom that, so it's just one of those god things. I don't know if there is a heaven or hell. I think that we make our own heaven and/or hell in life, and after that... I only hope there is more. Yeah, my faith is hope.</p>

<p>    And btw, you all with no hope, no faith, no nice things in your lives, little or no happiness: I would just like to say that I have it all. :)</p>

<p>    I have a place that is my home, and it is with the man I love and could not live without. I have two cats that entertain me and entertain themselves by making me clean up their poop, but we're all happy that way. I also have family outside of my home that would help me out with the nothing they have should I ever need help.</p>

<p>    I owe about $15,000 to the gov't for my education that got me nowhere. My hubby-to-be will owe at least twice that. I gots me own health problems that keep my home, all warm and safe from the big bad outside. I have my computer, and bills paid for at least this month and two more.</p>

&gt;Subject: No fishin'<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt;A blonde wanted to go ice fishing. She'd seen many books on the<br />
&gt;subject and after finally getting all the necessary tools together,<br />
&gt;she made for the ice.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; After positioning her comfy footstool, she started to make a<br />
&gt;circular cut in the ice. Suddenly, from the sky, a voice boomed,<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; \&quot;THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE.\&quot;<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; Startled, the blonde moved further down the ice, poured a thermos<br />
&gt;of cappuccino, and began to cut yet another hole. Again from the<br />
&gt;heavens the voice bellowed,<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; \&quot;THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE.\&quot;<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; The blonde, now worried, moved away, clear down to the opposite end<br />
&gt;of the ice. She set up her stool once more and tried again to cut<br />
&gt;her hole.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; The voice came once more,<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; \&quot;THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE.\&quot;<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; She stopped, looked skyward, and said,<br />
&gt; \&quot;IS THAT YOU<br />
&gt;LORD?\&quot;<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; The voice replied,<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; \&quot;NO, THIS IS THE MANAGER OF THE HOCKEY RINK<br />
&gt;<br />

<p>LOL! I can totally see somebody doing this. Somebody like myself. Yessss, maybe I will make a hole here... No? Perhaps here? Still no good. Ah, this is the spot for a hole. No?! Who in hell do you think you are?! Don't you know? Cats love the fishes 'cause they're so delicious! No no, that wasn't me, that was Ellie. Teeheeehee. Oh yes. Ellie, what a silly kittie. &lt;STOP CHEWING ON THOSE CURSED PLASTIC BAGS CAT!!&gt;</p>&quot;

<p>The more I hear, the more I am coming to believe, Religion Will End The World. Nature wants to survive, nature's very pun intended nature is to survive, religion lives to die, doomsday apocalypse revelations, keep it. I'd rather survive, but then the majority rules, it's been nice knowing you all, lol.</p>

<p>What's the major difference between a religion and a mythology? Time, Belief, and who's god's armies what whats battles and wars.</p>&quot;

<p>*They say the abuse of false religions and falser religious people will ultimately be the downfall of theology and usher in a new age of reason and science. Some people's idea of the Christian way to act has got to go. As of last night if I do Any religion at All I'm removing the middleman. No Church, No Preacher, no paying someone who tells hellfire and brimstone fables because he was too lazy or crazy to get a real job.*</p>

<p>You guys get any of the new news on the Judas papers being found in ancient Egypt? Problem there is there is no way for the common man to know for certain the truth of that matter! It's an interesting plot twist on what we knew of the bible's version, and seemst point to doomsday, but ... raise your hand of you've personally carbondated that document and can verify it's authenticity?</p>&quot;

<p>When it comes to carbon dating, I am not skeptical.</p>

<p> How about this? What if the catholic church, one of the many diverse branches of christianity, back at the time after christ , possibly the most powerful, then and now, did in fact steer the peasants and anyone else to the \&quot;truth\&quot; by elimanating and editing the various books of the bible.  So what?</p>

<p>Why? So they could hone the message of christ and the resurection and  the afterlife in heaven with the heavenly father. All of the miricles and supernatural events sorrounding his life her on earth were designed to help sell the idea of christianity. Just as entertainment tonight sells all of the primetime crap you have to watch on NBC.   I ask, What difference does it make if it is factual or not? There is no proof of a life after death anyway . You have faith or you don't. You either believe in God or you don't. It is that simple. However if it weren't for the church , no one would even know enough about christianity to even have a debate like this. We wouldn't be able to speak the language , we would have no common ground. Somebody knew what they were doing. You gotta start somewhere. In kindergarten you learned the alphabet , and then you started to make words , and now you can right your thiesis , on tolstoys war and peace. Its a process. Maybe the church didn't want to get bogged down in its part of the process debating the facts and junk? maybe the saw the importance  and value in the story of christ. and turned it into a story that still lives on til this day, long after his death. </p>

<p>The thing I believe should be of concern are the documents that are being made as we live and breathe, via Emails phone call recordings and cameras in cell phones. everything we do is factual  evidence. Dna toast crumbs and hair  in your toothbrush. LOL Big Brother and all of that. The fear of God is being replaced by a paranoia of being caught in an embarrasing situation and exposed via technology. FORENSICS of course if you don't do anything your ashamed of you have nothing to worry about and surely you will go to heaven. All I am saying is that I think that some smart men in the first century, had reasons for what the allowed to be known, and what the didn't. Knowledge is power. etc. and that made them powerful by default , becuase the church kept the secrets, and knew the truth. Who are we to tear it all apart and say God doesn't exist just becuase, in a court of law, ( our contemporary concept of good and evil ) the facts don't add up, and  because some  unfortunate bastard got caught contradicting himself in writing. Just a thought.</p>&quot;

<p>I Think you are right. I don't have a lot of time for people who like to go thru the Bible and point out the inconsistancies and argue the point with science as an alternate religion. Who ever said science was the anti-thesis to religion anyway. Apples and Oranges. A man who studies the bible all of his life and has set out from the beginning beliving everything he has read has taken a journey of truth. To him, he knows the truth, and it is true. And a person who has taken the road of science and has never questioned critical theroy and knows that it is obviously the gospel knows just as much and just as little as the man who spent his life , with his nose in the bible. Thats my opinion. Its not about truth, is not about an answer to a question. Its just an idea. An Idea that might expand and improve, and continue. If the devil hadn't bogged us all down in proofs and answers. Its about faith. Its about how you handle the situations in your life when you really can't see. and when you don't understand at all. When it makes no sense to you at all. Its an idea that you are not alone in the world.  An idea that your not the first and not the last. An idea that others have come to this point in there lives too. we are all saved by grace , and intelect, and perserverence , and help form people , with good hearts, who may have or may not have ever been in the same situtation before. You move on, if you have faith. Its not by good calculations alone. Its not about  answers , there are no answers  to some things. And if you are suggesting that eventually the bible will be obselete, and science will be all you need. I don't think it even applys. If you ask me, It is the bastard who decided to try and make everyone think that science was evil that caused all of the problems. And i would bet he is related to the guy who started the idea that science is God. I bet people would have embraced science a long time ago, centuries infact, as a part of the  human experience, a tool for living, just like the Bible. I am guessing you won't need science after your dead. Where ever you go.</p>&quot;

<p>*Heh, here's a holy trinity for ya. WHat about a balance? The human expression is made up of three significant aspects. Body Mind and Spirit. The Body needs the Sciences of chemical electronic physics biology etc etc. The Mind needs knowledge, to learn to teach to think. The Spirit, now this is the cool one. It needs Faith. It's a thing of faith anyaways, science doesn't officially recognized the soul yet, hasn't dissected one yet, lol. Logicaly the mind can learn aot from the science of body and the faith in spirit. Religion is a pathway to realization of the soul, as it should be. I'm against religions that choke off and supress the soul, therfore retarding the mind, and depriving the body.*</p>&quot;

Subject: Sister Mary Katherine</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
<p>--</p>
 
<p> <br />
Sister Mary Katherine entered the Monastery of Silence.</p>
 
<p>The Priest says, \&quot;Sister, this is a silent monastery. You are<br />
welcome here as long as you like,<br />
but you may not speak until I direct you to do so.\&quot;</p>
 
<p>Sister Mary Katherine lived in the monastery for 5 years  before<br />
the Priest said to her, \&quot;Sister Mary Katherine, you  have been here<br />
for 5years. You may speak two words.\&quot;</p>
 
<p>Sister Mary Katherine said, \&quot;Hard bed.\&quot;</p>
 
<p>I'm sorry to hear that,\&quot; the Priest said, \&quot;We will get you a<br />
better bed.\&quot;</p>
 
<p>After another 5 years, Sister Mary Katherine was called by  the<br />
Priest.  You may say another two words, Sister Mary  Katherine.\&quot;<br />
Cold food,\&quot; said Sister Mary Katherine,</p>
 
<p>The Priest assured her that the food would be better in the  future.</p>
 
<p>On her 15th anniversary at the monastery, the Priest again<br />
called Sister Mary Katherine into his office. \&quot;You may say<br />
two words today.</p>
 
<p>I quit.\&quot; said Sister Mary Katherine.</p>
 
<p>It's probably best,\&quot; said the Priest.   You've done nothing but bitch<br />
since you got here.\&quot;</p>

<p>{Friggin whiny aint she!?}</p>&quot;

TWO PRIESTS DECIDED TO GO TO HAWAII ON VACATION!</p>

<p>They were determined to make this a real vacation by not wearing<br />
anything that would identify them as clergy.</p>

<p>As soon as the plane landed, they headed for a store and bought some outrageous<br />
shorts, shirts, sandals, sunglasses, etc. The next morning, they<br />
went to the beach dressed in their \&quot;tourist\&quot; garb!</p>

<p>They were sitting on beach chairs, enjoying a drink, the sunshine<br />
and the scenery when a \&quot;drop dead gorgeous\&quot; topless blond in a<br />
thong came walking straight towards them. They couldn't help but stare.</p>

<p>As the blonde passed them, she smiled and said: \&quot;Good Morning, Father. Good Morning, Father.\&quot;, nodding and addressing each of them individually, then she passed on by.</p>

<p>They were both stunned. How in the world did she know that<br />
they were priests??</p>

<p>So the next day, they went back to the store and bought<br />
even more outrageous outfits.</p>

<p>These were so loud, you could<br />
hear them before you even saw them!</p>

<p>Once again, in their new attire, they settled on their chairs to enjoy the sunshine!</p>

<p>After a while, the same gorgeous topless blond, wearing a different colored<br />
thong, taking her sweet time, came walking toward them!</p>

<p>Again, she nodded at each of them, and said\&quot; \&quot;Good Morning, Father. Good Morning, Father.\&quot;, and started to walk away.</p>

<p>One of the priests couldn't stand it any longer and said, \&quot;Just a minute, young<br />
lady!\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Yes, Father?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;We are priests and proud of it, but I have to<br />
know, how in the world do you know we are Priests, dressed as<br />
we are?\&quot;</p>

<p>She replied, \&quot;Father, it's me, Sister Mary Kathleen!\&quot;</p>

<p>{I thought for sure Sister Mary Katherine had made another joke appearance here, one of the coolest nuns ever in online jokery. I got a whopper o a humdinger god ringer t bring over sometime, unless Metaphorm wants to reveal it himself?}</p>&quot;

Subject: The Pastor's Donkey :this is very funny<br />
The Priest's Donkey</p>
                            
<p>The priest entered his donkey in a race and it won.</p>

<p>The priest was so pleased with the donkey that he entered<br />
in another race and it won again.</p>

<p>The local paper read:<br />
PRIEST'S ASS IS HOT.</p>

<p>The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered<br />
the priest not to enter the donkey in any more races.</p>

<p>The next day the local paper headline read:<br />
BISHOP SCRATCHES PRIEST'S ASS.</p>

<p>This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the priest to get rid of the donkey.</p>

<p>The priest decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent.</p>

<p>The local paper, hearing of the news, Posted the following headline: <br />
NUN HAS THE BEST ASS IN TOWN.</p>

<p>The Bishop fainted.</p>

<p>He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey<br />
so she sold it to a farmer for $10.</p>

<p>The next day the headlines read:<br />
NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10.</p>

<p>This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back<br />
the donkey and lead it to the high plains where it could run free.</p>

<p>The next day the headlines read:<br />
NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.</p>
 
<p>Alas, The Bishop was buried the next day.</p>

<p>MORAL OF THE STORY???</p>

<p>Being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery<br />
and even shorten your life.</p>

<p>So, be yourself and enjoy life  !!!</p>

<p>Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and you'll live longer.</p>&quot;

<p>*Fallen Stargoyle.</p>

<p>Guess you could call me a born again antichristian lol. I lost the faith decades ago dropped like a bad nun's habit lol. When I say AntiChristian I personally mean that I am not Satanic, I do believe faintly in one central creative force, I just distrust christians as naive, sheltered, goodygoody, egotistical and arrogant, deliberately insulting, patronizing, pontificating, overzealous, idealistic, anal, subservient, meek, psychotic, mental, obsessive, narrowminded, prejudicial, and they dress boringly.</p>

<p>I Fired God way early on. I lived the kind of life that really tests the presence of a benevolent god, and I think if you still believe then evidently you haven't in the direst need looked to see it's Just Not There. I lose someone close to me and the reverend says it's God's Plan? Well, screw god, I don't like his plan. Hey if a reverend preacher pastor priest is gonna speak for god I can take it as gospel. Gospel that god is like a giant bored kid with a magnifying glass viewing judging and frying us like bugs on a whim. Doesn't sound like a god I really want hanging around.</p>

<p>I did have one brief moment of uplifting religious fervor, it was a really very charismatic night of AWANAS, kinda a fun and games night at the country church. I had just completed my gold leather with copper vynil seams bible cover and was feeling like this really cool cared for christian child of god. Hey I was eleven lol I also had Hulk Hogan up on a pedestal too. I read the bible passages as if I had a clue what all the repetitive contradictory thee thou talk was really talking about. Me and my glow in the dark Praying Hands statue, and bible, and king solomon bookmark were just glowing, my new imaginary friend God was with me lol.</p>

<p>I was bursting with pride at this! I announced to Dad I was now a Christian! :D I believed in God now! Dad stopped and looked at me grinning like a lunatic, but grn starting to quaver~ and said \&quot;So?\&quot;. But that got me thinking, yes so, so what, now what? Klunk! That brought my godulism to a halt. Sure I occasionally jumped back on the biblewagon for a quick scripture look, an attempt at prayer, or just talking to god acting like god existed and could hear me. That condition has been in remission for decades now, with the exception of cursing god for bad traffic, people's misbehavior, poor scheduling and bad timing.</p>

<p>I have lived the life that tested the presence of a benevolent god, if he realy existed he'd have helped by now. Unless you take the uberpious route and say all my suffering and travails were god's punishment for me or to make me stronger? No thanks. Should be up to diamond strength already, back off. In my darkest hours, prayers to god, no answer, the god you are trying to call has been disbelieved or no longer in reverence. Please try again. Nice god you guys got here. I'd fire him if I were you. He's lazy neglects his given duties and when he can be bothered to apply himself to his task of interaction it's only to cause natural disasters? Wow huh? How very lame.</p>

<p>I've tasked myself towards killing god lol one believer at a time. I'm an Irreverend. It's time to stop the nonsense. Of course I will leave the christians to their devout worships, some people aren't ready to let go yet. Alot of folks merely need something else to jump onto, being that SelfReliance isn't confident enough footing for them quite yet. But I appeal to the people who belive in any religion that endorses war. Let's see your god/s come down and fight alongside you. If he really wanted war, even victory, imagine what a god could do on the battlefield! We're talking some major shock and awe there.</p>

<p>Shoot, all it would take is a God appearing in Iraq, even an Angel. We're so media interlaced an event like that would spread through the world view like wildfire! Now ya think if there was a god he would have done that by now? No? God doesn't work like that? Well I don't think god works anyways. But how does God work? How can we claim to know the mind of an unknowable god, passing down edicts verbatim when his plan is always so mysterious? If his plan is to let us destroy eachother then I don't think it matters if he's worshipped or not. You can't persuade or dissuade a god like that, cajoling a giant icy distant cruel vengeful angry god, sounds like fun. No thank you.</p>

<p>It's time to move past the need for this. Hey, adopt a few stray gods, learn from all religions equally, take what works for you and own it. Customize a pantheon. But place yourself as the center. You'll be the god of your own life. Only by creating your own heavens and hells and knowing you're doing it can you create the rest of your own reality. Sure it's subject to everyone else's realities and alot of them aren't going in the same direction you are but you can own your part. There won't be a God to claim your good on, there won't be a devil to blame your bad on.</p>

<p>That's the problem with people these days, too goddamn stuck in their ruts to own up to some self responsibility. There's gotta be this reason that starts with God wants, God told, God demands, God blessed, God likes God hates, God god god. Maybe it's time to find something better to do than kneeling praying bowing scraping worshipping adoring blaaah. Maybe it's time for our scientific outlook on things to look back at our present selves with our outdated monotheistic population control system that still serves as the backbone of law and taxes and government.</p>

<p>Maybe there's a reason why things work the way they do besides God made them that way. Maybe there are forces in this universe that religion is Not responsible for. Maybe just maybe things happen for no reason at all other than they just can. Are any of you ready for that realization? That kind of Revelation? We got fanatics all over the place trying to bring about their religious endtimes prophecies, their faith is fading so they need that affirming stimuli I guess. Like dumping water on your head for 40 days and nights and saying it's The Flood! The Flood! Is it too late to stop this? Wouldn't we all rather live? Are we that afraid of surviving as a species and civilization that we gotta cut off proceedings post haste? Fearing the future.</p>

<p>Sounds like fun.*</p>&quot;

<p>Wow, that's quite the rant d00d. =P</p>

<p>I don't practice any religion, nor do I feel compelled to do so. I'm pretty damn happy just having one person in which I can completely confide in and trust with my every dark secret and those horrible mistakes past. I'm not perfect, and he shares that with me. We're just people living and learning and enjoying each other's company and thoughts.</p>

<p>If there is a god, I'm gonna need a little bit of proof. Why do I need proof? Because that bum on the street that's telling me he's god and that I'm a sinner and should read the bible is in fact not god, and so the one fella that wants to be this one and only all powerful god is going to have to do something pretty significant to have my belief. And how do I know that bum wasn't god? I can claim to be god and that does not make me god. People can lie. And that does not move me to believe in what they say. The bible is man's word. Not god's. I flatly do not believe in a thing the bible says.</p>

<p>It's not that I'm unwilling to believe. I do not believe in creationism. I believe in science and evolutionism. I'm mortal and can't understand infinite stuff. How can god be infinite, how can the universe be infinite? It's always been there, forever! It's stuff that we're not meant to understand. The things that are in my life are finite and definable. Science explains everything I need to understand. I just don't see a whole lot of space for god in my life.</p>&quot;

<p>Alanis Morissette - What If God Was One Of Us<br />
If god had a name, what would it be?<br />
And would you call it his face if you were faced with him and all his glory<br />
what would you ask if you had just one question<br />
yeah yeah god is great<br />
yeah yeah god is good<br />
yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah<br />
What if god was one of us ?<br />
just a slob like one of us<br />
just a stranger on the bus, trying to make his way home<br />
If god had a face, what would it look like?<br />
And would you want to<br />
if seeing meant that you would have to believe in things like heaven<br />
and in Jesus and the saints and all the profits<br />
and yeah yeah god is great<br />
and yeah yeah god is good<br />
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah<br />
What if god was one of us<br />
just a slob like one of us<br />
just a stranger on the bus<br />
trying to make his way home<br />
back up to heaven all alone<br />
nobody calling on the phone<br />
except for the pope maybe in rome<br />

<p>{Oddly later Alanis herself got to play God on the Dogma movie. I was homeless for awhile, can I be god? I knew I was missing out on something there.}</p>&quot;

<p>\&quot;Hi kids, I'm god! No no wait hear me out. Now I know I haven't been seen or heard from in some 5000 years of known history nor 41,4356,4387,398 years 3 months and 4 days of UNknown history but I just wanted to drop a note and let you kids know I'm still around. I don't have much a hand in earthly doings as you all seem to wish I did, but I do have some suggestions! Anyone claiming to speak for me, including myself? Liar liar.</p>

<p>Pants, blabla fire all that. Nobody speaks for me, mainly cause nobody listens anyways. Sorry to say all the spent martyrisms, all the wars fought in my name, all the prayers and worship, real yawners, why dont you kids go outside and play. I'll pray to me instead. ou kids go and live.</p>

<p>Sheesh, thinking you were created instantly, my original design took Time to improve upon! A single enzymatic molecule and well I gave an inch you all took a mile! Very nice!</p>

<p>You can have the patience to go from primordial ooze to jello pudding pops, but you can't even get along with eachother. Bush? I didn't appoint him to office, he doesn't speak for me. He's very entertaining, thought I was watching someone making fun of presidency in general listening to his comedic stutterings and malaprops, but scary part is he's serious. Oh no, someone's reading another bible. Listen, it may be about me, but it's 101% WRONGO. I don't send people to any hells they haven't sent themselves to in the first place. Angels? You want one of those flying over your car? Sitting on telephone lines? Interesting but ridiculous concept. Thanks anyway.</p>

<p>The DEVIL! Oh yes now he's real, very real, in fact he's me! At least for my part of it, the rest of the evil is actually humans evilling eachother. See the god part of me takes credit for all the material, the devil part of me takes the blame for letting it all go to hell. And right smack dab inbetween comes Free Choice! This is where you humans can do what even I as God could not imagine you doing! I built the house, you do the maintenance, actually it just kinda exploded and fell in on itself in a usable form, but if ya wanna say I did it, hell thanks, that's high praise. But it's your earth, your reality, as you defined it, but not as you defined me. So in closing I suggest you quit putting words in my mouth and focus on the being of the yourselves, yes including the smartass jerkoid typing this for me, lol. GOOD NIGHT!\&quot;</p>

<p>Hiya kids, god again, yes I'm still on that tired played out god riff.</p>

<p>But hey you get a listen to the news coverage of the election 06? Such a topic for another blog category I suppose, hey god may have finally gotten a myspace, but he's still shaky on organization. If I was totally like had it together, well we wouldn't have Australia now then would we? I was having a weird time then, so sue me. Still very funny, I wanted a giant mouse with a deer head, rabbit ears, the body of a furred velociraptor. Okay a beaver, with a duck bill, poisonous quills and could lay eggs. A teddy bear like mammal that was grouchy smelled bad and was addicted to a certain type of leaf. I was feeling Explorative! Yes that's the one. All bad humor aside, it's probably time to see to quelling some of the possible negative flak I see coming from the not as understanding of ye readers. My point is, and you are just going to love this. You're gods too! That's right you all have my power. I'm so weary of people who can't be good and charitable of their own accord, for instance I disguised myself as a homeless person once, got 20 bucks, and was told why too. It was their christian duty! Duty? Work? Is god paying you for this? You couldn't be decent and respectful on your own?</p>

<p>Shee, bad or good don't blame me. Bad or good it was your own personal and human nature. Nobody tells you to be a virtuous or villainous person, you do it on yor own. Leave me and lucipher outta this, we're too busy playing mortal kombat, and he is slick with 14 hit combos, but he doesn't know about my wicked skills swanging fatalities on his candy ass.</p>

<p>Anyways, you do have the power of gods. You can claim credit for the miracles and maladies that this world evidences, you can claim imperical knowledge of the hidden workings of this universe and reality, all that becomes clearer and clearer with research. Science is putting me right outta business, but I don't mind, sooner or later they grow up and leave the nest so to speak, and the further you get away from using religion as a crutch, the closer you get to full spiritual maturity! Now you can agree or disagree to this maturely preferred, but fully indignantly angered is ok as well.</p>

<p>This is your power of free choice.</p>

<p>Not to say you now have divine permission to be evil! Good is always the preference, to do good for yourself and others. personally, I feel that as god you're all ready to start taking your first baby steps as a new enlightened planetary civilization and stop with the old boogieman superstition big brother god watches us type of behavior. It's time you did well for the sake of wellness. Yes I'm partly submitting this for the sake of spice and controversy but if you don't shake up the fishtank everynow and then, all the fishpoop settles at the bottom to cement into an uncleanable mess. My sediments exactly. So hey listen kids, it's been great and I hope I smoothed out some ruffled feathers, although feathers were not included in your original mammalian primate design, and sleep smoothly, dream well, and think of applying your full potential to your life and the world around you. Now if you'll excuse me I gotta hover over the few remaining swing vote states and breath down some necks. Choice also means positive change, and if they gotta just gotta look to me for answers, well I think the Democrats are the hottest thing since Pikachu!</p>

<p>Can't type much now kids, plum wore myself out vandalizing the moon, here check this out, beautiful. Sure I'm old as time itself, but it doesn't excuse me this immature behavior! I mean wait, in that it this actually does! Sigh, ok, I'm just a giant cosmic punk. But I still have more toys than you all!</p>

So anyway, here's a shocker chair rocker, but did you all know you're all basicaly worshipping the same guy? Gimme a ozzy black sabbath 'do and some nice silver copper armor, and I'm Odin. Eating binge and a shweet tan I'm Buddha.</p>

<p>You name it I'm there, I'm only limited by your imaginations. This is why holy wars, or battles fought in my name are so redundant, it's all in whose imaginary friend is cooler.</p>

<p>It's now al in really who's version of the same me ismore correct, like I've said before nobody is truly completely correct, but there are some interesting variations of me that even I couldn't have thought up.<br />
SouLTroN's version of me is right dandy, still not totally correct, am right in saying I am the unknowable?</p>

The flood, 40 days and forty nights.</p>

<p>That was Global Warming. Should have been your first global warning. SHeep fart methane, ok that was theory.</p>

<p>Thins happen on this earth even when I'm not involved, if you can believe that, sometimes &szlig;&ordf; just happens. I mean It'd be a fulltime job for me if I myself had to cause everything that happens to happen. Chaos and chance and fortune and fate need their place. Sunday's coming up, and dare you to do something. Do not go to church, those people need to get real jobs. have no ned of your money and it never really reaches me anyway. It pays teh cable bill and gas money of that frocking podium standing lawgiver tat claims to represent me on earth. Do your own thing, and do it wel, do it for youself and do it for your own best benefit. Let church preach to itself, you alone can do what's best for you, and I repeat, that preacher reverend bible salesman should be made to get a real job. His usage of my name should demand royalties for anyhow, but like I said I don't need the money! I already have all I want and need.</p>

<p>Hey kids, God here again and it's about that time of year. Yes, when my whiter kids came across teh seas and made themselves at home in America, despite any and all nonexistent immigration laws not in effect at that time. They came t america t escape religious persecution in order to go somewhere else and do it to eachother and others of my creations.<br />
The burned witches, those most natural, in touch and helpful of religious practicers, and they forced native americans into reservations and missoins to drill the old monotheistic control principle into their minds as it was done to them thousands of years ago. I can't turn my back on you all for a mere millenia can I? I swear, it's all can do to keep from pullingthe universe over and paddling the lot of you. I had the rare and funny discomfort of having a thanksgiving ON an indian reservation, and don't think I didn't haveany reservations about that stupid joke outta the way NEXT, but it was an interesting experience.</p>

<p>Heard some great white people jokes and even though I'm currently carnated in a whitey body I found myself nervously laughing despite in spite of myself. Stuff like ah yes cuold you my red brother pass me those potatoes? That turkey? that cranberry sauce? Oregon? California, and that delicious stuffing! Since when did whites get the lion share and you put the natives at teh geographical equivalent of the kids table? This isn't t offend anyone, it's like all this other stuff another way offered oflooking at things and traditions we take for granted that in many cases needs some re evaluating. I myself God will be working Tgiving night, and I don't celebrate it much anways, too much bad memories, of mushy stews, dry as helleck turkey, flaky dusty pies and obligated familial group feastings wth unliked family. God needs a drink, lol afk, ... Ah and he drank it and it was good. Jesus said red wine was his blood? He was never that much of a lush, but he would havea rough swig if he ever found out he was not my biological son, but an adopted human. Well helleck, he wandered around for nearly 30 years claiming he was my direct offspring and he was basically a nice kid, but he looks nothing like me, and I don't recall ever getting intimate in the unreligious sense with any woman with a beard like the one he inheritted, 'd remember that, trust me, no matter how much of his blood drank. But this is a topic for Hismas and Feaster.</p>

<p>We're discussing Thanks and Misgivings. Guess wanna see it all turned around, don't just go out and weary out your poor beleagured retail grocer workers with your stupid traditional compulsions just to have weeks of leftovers and a few more unlosable lbs, your challenge, your homework, if you will is t give of yourself the surplus of your own home and take it to a food bank. Canned goods, boxed stuff, nonperishables please. That rotten fruit and vegetable matter you people call donation and the flies call pure heaven is totally unacceptable and almost casually insulting. No, give of yourself. ANd in that way you say thanks for the presence of your felow man and the chance to help someone else and feel good about it. Don't do it for me, don't do it outta any wasted christian duty, do it because it's the community thing to do. If you are all going to insist on living so close to eachother, in such large stressful groups all fo the sake of some convenience the least you can do is ensure someone else gets to share in the benefit of living in the city community, not bein swept under the rug like so much guilty refuse. As a parent one of the few things I ask of you is to clean your rooms, share your toys, play well with others, and wash your hands before eating, you don't know where you've been! Givvy HappsThanking kids, and definitely give that mince pie an extra indulgence, it'll give you a needed excuse for not trying the fruitcake.</p>

<p>Puh-Leaze!</p>

<p>Hey kiddos, GOD here, again, yep the ol big G to the O to the D is a little ticked off still. STILL!</p>

<p>Armageddon around to it I swear, Yall gonna make me go revelations on your monkey arses, make ya famous. Aherm, Need I say again wars fought over religion are just plain silly? Who's imaginary friend is cooler? What are we back in the Crusades or something?<br />
Do you think this impresses your god/s? No it doesn't. I've been quiteunimpressed at these extinction and genocide attempts I see in the news lately. Man if I had to rely on just the news t tel me what was going on of Earth I'd have scrapped the whole Human project and started over, whatta lotta drama. No good news, just ratings news, you all want bad weather, death misery controversy conspiracy and a general coverall excuse for apathy. The world's going to hell so what else is there to do but survive, great pep me up with morning coffee. Say did you watch the news today? Oh yeah we're doomed, ya wana go out for java saturday? Sounds great seeya there. I wuold urge all of you to sit back and relax a bit, negotiations is not the sissy thing to do. Gandhi was the world's ultimate type dude cause he negotiated! I know of one sanitly figure who faced down a whole line of firing soldiers, all their bullets turned to flowers at her feet! That was all me baby, lol, would have had the bullets transfigurate into skittles or sarah machclachallaghlan cd's, but those at the time had not been invented yet, so I let it go cliche. DOVES! SNAP! Doves, damit, well maybe some other time I'll try that, I'm only concerned about the effect, guns firing birds at any speed is a little disconcerting and might not be peace inducing! God's a little distracted watching tv and having morning coffee, but later on it's off to an unknown corner of the world to inspire one small child to write the perfect bit of poetry to her ailing grandmother in estonia, and then cause some electrical disturbances somewhere where they're abusing power anyways, amongst millions of other things that am given credit for by the minute.</p>

<p>Well, as we now turn to closing this myspace page down to passive we reflect, noooo we REVELATE! In this here minibile fr our modern times, written by the hand of god on the keyboard of God, it's time for Revelations. Your world will end like so. First, we will coat the very atmosphere of human society with a sickened apathy towards anything that doesn't involve our own menial vices and selfish pleasures. We'll take away more and more freedoms, enforcing controls fr your own good, it's gonna save ya alotta work down the line, and alot of that bothersome freethinking. Then, we'll govern by fear with our newly minted boogiemen, human and abstract both, and your only solace will be the tabloid headlines of celebrity relationship anomalies and media electronic escapisms. We'll fatten up your foods with weightening non abosorbable chemicals and other inorganic unnatural matter, creating our mastered race of slow sickly overweight foggy headed docile slugs.<br />
We'll keep making the wealthy wealthier, and the rest of you barely living, because let's faceit, the will of the people must be heeded, but it's rawdaddy ching ching that pays the paychecks. Take a backseat.</p>

<p>Take a number. Take a break. Take a powder. Take a pill. Take a long long long look at what al you're taking without so much as a look. We dont even need to bait the traps anymore to poison you all like vermin. Who is we? We are the ruling majority, we are the power in the engine of the machinery that runs this planet, and guess what, we don't give a good god damn. A huma lifetime rarely exceeds 100 yrs, the planet has at least twice that before things really get bad, s that's not exactly our most immediate concern. Tank you all for worshipping god, it keeps you well behaved, less work for us. Who is god really? Is he a force for good and compassoin all over the world who just.... happens to have been uh distracted for the past 3000 years or so now? Or is instead of Man being the creation of the mind of God, God being a creation in the mind of Man?</p>

<p>God created in Man's likeness. A very effective and efficiently applied monotheistic control principle tat's borrowed and stolen from smaller subjugated and enslaved other religions in an effort to keep relevant? Relevant. Revelant. Your world will end because you let it, because get the irony of this, but organized religion will be the end of the world, says so in about every religion. Read the endtext of many of the more radical extremist religions, forthough even that they have successfully controlled, decimated, absorbed and assimilated every other minor facet before it, it lacked the stamina to carry on. It wrote in a nice handy little ending to itself.</p>

<p>An eject seat, a finish line, a very definite conclusion. Question is, d you wat this? DO you really want this? You want the beast, the archangels, the fires floods famines and french's mustard gas? You still hve a choice you know, just as I do.</p>

<p>I took one new years resolution and mutated it over and moreover. I said ok I'm gonna find religion, no religion totally suited, so I customized. It seemed to be such a good workin mechanism that I then opted to Found a religion. Still aint come up with a name for it yet. n</p>

<p>Finding and Founding gods, salvaging older but still valid beliefs, I decided on grasping the principle to the fullest, to the hilt, and weilding it to it's fullest by BEING A GOD! And as you see it's fairly easy to do too. You take credit for all that is created, claim credit for the god in the world, spread a little too, blame evils on a devil. Sure I'll claim credit for all that, but I'll let ya damn well know where the evil's coming from, they're these nearly hairless bipeds whose buzzing honking clicking hissing language and neurotic mindsets seem t power the very earth forward for the rst of us.<br />
Now I cuold have typed this all under the religion part of MySpace, but this isn't religion as me or may of you think of it, it's mostly a joke, a spoof, a odd strange controversial liberal bashing of all the icons we've laid too much weight upon. I do admit I go back and read some of this crap spew with a genuine surprise that all came outta lil ol me, but this is cald functional insanity, lol. Still, I'm eager to wrap this all up. The main inspiration for me even starting up a myspace has sort of departed and a good part of my will to continue using this has diminished. You know where I can be found, and you don't have to pray either, lol.</p>

Egyptian Mythology&laquo;</p>

<p>Mythology is defined as a collection of interrelated stories of a given culture.</p>

<p>Myths tend to describe the creation of the world and give a culture an understanding of the events of nature and the world around them.</p>

<p>Myths are also generated to tell the story of the first people to inhabit the earth.</p>

<p>These people are elevated to gods and goddesses, which usually associate them as having supernatural and special powers. Myths also express the values or beliefs of a culture, and every culture studied has their own myths distinctive to their group.</p>

<p>Ancient Egyptians tried to understand their place in the universe and their mythology centers itself on nature, the earth, sky, moon, sun, stars, and the Nile River. Heliopolis, the City of the Sun, is located in the ruins of Yunu in northeast Cairo.</p>

<p>This is where the cosmic creation of Egyptian myth began. Ancient Egyptian mythology states that in the beginning of time everything began with Nu. Nu is the description of what the planet was before land appeared. Nu was a vast area of swirling watery chaos and as the floods receded the land appeared. The first god to appear out of this watery mess was Atum.</p>

<p>This myth was probably created because of the large source of water from the Nile River. In one interpretation, Atum is credited with the fertile land that springs up when the water's of the Nile River recedes, because he was the first to arise out of the watery mess.</p>

<p>Atum emerged from Nu as the sun god at the beginning of time and is the creator of the world. Since Atum was all alone he chose to mate with his shadow. The god Atum was known as the `Great He-She&acute;, and a bisexual. The ancient Egyptians found this act acceptable, as they found all types of sexual orientations acceptable. Atum gave birth to two children by spitting out his son (Shu) and vomiting up is daughter (Tefnut). Shu represented the air and the principles of life and Tefnut represented rain and principles of order. The three remained in the watery chaos of Nu and after some time Atum was separated from his children.</p>

<p>When they were finally reunited, Atum wept with tears of joy. When his tears hit the ground men grew and he then began to create the world.</p>

<p>Shu and Tefnut later gave birth to Geb, the god of the earth in which the throne of the Pharaoh would be decided. Nut was also born from Tefnut and Shu as the Goddess of the sky, the separator between earth and Nu. Geb and Nut then gave birth to Osiris, Isis, Seth, and Nephthys. In ancient Egyptian mythology there is an established kinship of the gods and goddesses.</p>

<p>Atum is known also as Khepri, the great scarab beetle, Ra-Harakhte, the winged-solar disk, Ra, the midday sun, Aten, the solar-disk, or Horus on the Horizon. By whatever name you call him Atum, is the one and only creator in the universe.</p>

<p>The sun god Atum travels along Nut during the day and then is swallowed by Nut at night. At dawn it is seen as Nut giving birth to Atum as the sky opens up to the light.</p>

<p>One of the most famous Egyptian myths is the myth of Osiris.</p>

<p>Osiris has been credited with many different titles, god of fertility, king of the dead, god of agriculture, and god of the underworld, controller of the Nile floods, and the rising and setting of the sun. All of these titles have one thing in common: life, death, and rebirth because the myth of Osiris is attributed to his life, murder, and eternal life after death. The myth of Osiris begins when he sets out to spread law and order across the land and to teach people how to farm.</p>

<p>Because Osiris was a powerful king and popular with the people, his jealous brother lured him into a coffin and sealed his fate with molten lead. Seth then sent him down the Nile River in the coffin.</p>

<p>Later the coffin washed ashore in Lebanon and a tree encased it. A king of Lebanon was impressed by the size of the tree and cut it down and put it in his palace.</p>

<p>Isis was the wife and sister to Osiris who gave birth to Horus and was the protector of the dead.</p>

<p>When she received the news of Osiris's death, she knew the dead could not rest without a proper burial. Isis searched and found Osiris' body and brought it back to Egypt. Seth found this unacceptable and cut Osiris into many pieces and scattered them throughout Egypt. Isis set out again and had all the pieces she found made into wax duplicates.</p>

<p>All the wax duplicates were placed in the temple to be worshipped.</p>

<p>Isis preserved his body with linen bandages, used her magic and breathed life back into Osiris.</p>

<p>Osiris then rose as a God-King and he chose to rule the underworld.</p>

<p>This is where the roots of mummification and rebirth into the afterworld began.</p>

Re: Egyptian Mythology<br />
Ancient Egyptian gods:</p>

<p>Amen (Amon): Amen has his origin in Thebes. He is known as Lord of Creation and Protector of the Poor and Weak.<br />
His name means \&quot;The Hidden One.\&quot; He is considered the father of all gods; thus he does not have a mother or father but is husband to Mut, the Great Mother.</p>

<p>During the Middle Kingdom, Uast became the state capitol of Egypt and since Amen was the central god of Uast, he became the state god and was later combined with Ra (another creator god) to become Amen-Ra, and worshipped as the King of Gods. Egyptians represent him in art and statue as man or the sun. His sacred animals were the ram and the goose, which were bred and kept at all of his temples throughout Egypt.</p>

<p>Bastet: The Egyptian cat-headed goddess, Bastet was strictly a solar deity until the arrival of Greek influence on Egyptian society, when she became a lunar goddess due to the Greeks associating her with their Artemis. Dating from the 2nd Dynasty (roughly 2890-2686 BC), Bastet was originally portrayed as either a wild desert cat or as a lioness, and only became associated with the domesticated feline around 1000 BC. She was commonly paired with Sakhmet, the lion-headed goddess of Memphis, Wadjet, and Hathor. Bastet was the \&quot;Daughter of Ra\&quot;, a designation that placed her in the same ranks as such goddesses as Maat and Tefnut. Additionally, Bastet was one of the \&quot;Eyes of Ra\&quot;, the title of an \&quot;avenger\&quot; god who is sent out specifically to lay waste to the enemies of Egypt and her gods.</p>

<p>Geb: Geb was the \&quot;Father Earth\&quot; or the earth-god. He is said to live forever below his wife Nut, the goddess of the sky. He is the brother and husband of Nut and together they had five children.</p>

<p>Geb's sign is the goose, which is thought, according to the mythological creation story, to be the form that the creator took on the day of creation.</p>

<p>Geb is thought to be the first ruler of Kemet and some of the ancient king-lists have Geb and his immediate descendants as actual physical kings.</p>

<p>Horus (Heru, Haroeris, Harpocrates): Horus is the son of Isis and Osiris. When Osiris was killed by Set, Horus set out to avenge him. He is the god of the living and lord of the heavens. His name means \&quot;He who is above.\&quot;</p>

<p>Horus is represented as a falcon or hawk-headed deity because of his status as god of the sky and horizon. There are several myths about the eye or eyes of Horus.</p>

<p>One source says that Horus gave up his right eye in battle and that it represents strength, vigor and self-sacrifice.</p>

<p>Another source simply says that one of his eyes represents the sun and the other represents the moon. During the time he was worshipped in Ancient Egypt, his cult-centers were Behdet in Lower Egypt, and Hierakonpolis and Edfu in Upper Egypt.</p>

<p>Ma'at (Maat): Ma'at was the goddess of truth, justice and harmony. Ra, the sun god, was her father. Offerings were often made of Ma'at to the gods by the pharaohs to show that they wanted to keep harmony and justice on the earth. Ma'at is represented as a woman with an ostrich feather on her head. A vizier, who was a high official in the government and advisor to the pharaohs, were often known as \&quot;priests of Ma'at\&quot;.</p>

<p>Nut (Nuit): Nut was the goddess of the sky. She created the casing over the earth with her body. She was the sister and wife of Geb, the god of the earth. Shu, the god of air, separated nut and Geb when he lifted Nut up to become the canopy over the earth. Ancient Egyptians believed that in the evenings, Nut would swallow Ra, the sun god, and in the mornings give birth to him. Nut appears as a goddess wearing a blue dress covered in stars.</p>

<p>Ptah: Ptah is the creator god of Memphis, the capital of the dual Kemetic for most of its history.</p>

<p>Ptah is symbolized as a mummified man wearing a skullcap and holding the symbols of life, power, and stability in his arms. Ptah is sometimes seen as an abstract form of the self-created one, who effected creation through the actions of his heart and gave all things the breath of life with his tongue. Ptah represents the sun at the time when it begins to rise above the horizon and or right after it has risen. As early as the Second Dynasty, he is regarded as a creator god. He is the patron of painters, builders. architects, artists and sculptors. It was Ptah who built the boats for the souls of the dead to use in the afterlife. In the Book of the Dead we learn that he was a master architect, and responsible for building the framework of the universe. It was said that Ptah created the great metal plate that was the floor of heaven and the roof of the sky. He also constructed the supports that held it up.</p>

<p>Some creation legends say that by speaking the names of all things, Ptah caused them to be.<br />
Ra (Re): Another deity represented in human form with the head of a falcon, like Horus. Ra, like Amen, is also thought to be a god of creation. His cult-center is Heliopolis, where he is known as the sun god and supreme judge. Ra is also known as the father of kings and the most important gods.</p>

<p>Followers of Ra believe that life on earth was created from the tears of Ra as he wept at the beauty of mankind and his creation. He is considered a living god during the day and a dead one at night. He is born at dawn as a small child, an adult in prime at midday and an old man at sunset. He dies at dark and is reborn again at next dawn.</p>

<p>Seth: Seth was the god of wind and storms and ruler of the deserts. He is seen as the one who brings chaos to Egypt and is the enemy of Osiris and Horus. Nephthys is the wife to Seth and sister to Osiris, Isis, and Seth. She is usually depicted as a protector of the dead. From Osiris and Isis comes Horus, the King of Egypt.<br />
Tawaret (Thoeris, Taurt): Tawaret, or \&quot;The Great One\&quot;, is the goddess who protects women during their pregnancy and childbirth. Often temples were built to honor gods and goddesses but Tawaret was a goddess who was worshiped by ancient Egyptians in their own homes. Often an amulet of Tawaret was worn or at least kept in a person's home to keep them safe from evil spells or actions.</p>

<p>Tawaret has the head of a hippopotamus and arms and legs of a lion. She has the back and tail of a crocodile and the breasts and stomach of a pregnant woman.</p>

<p>These are the gods with whom ancient Egyptians had a relationship for thousands of years. By careful study of the gods and the myths that surround them, we can develop a picture in our own minds of what the ancient Egyptians were like as emotional beings. We know what they did on an everyday basis. We know what kind of jobs they worked, how they ate, their medical technology, their government, and how they created their magnificent monuments. But within the hieroglyphs containing the myths of the gods we can learn what motivated the Egyptians spiritual lives. We can learn why they did the things that they did, what the purpose of the pyramids were, their relationship with the pharaoh, their burial practices and their belief in the afterlife.</p>

<p>Maybe the ancient Egyptians knew something about the afterlife or the realm of the spirits that we don't know, or will never know, unless we take the time to understand their mythology as they understood it.</p>

<p>Kuk<br />
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<br />
(Redirected from Kauket)</p>

<p>Kuk (also spelled as Keku) is the deification of the primordial concept of darkness in Egyptian mythology. In the Ogdoad cosmogony, his name meant darkness. As a concept, Kuk was viewed as androgynous, his female form being known as Kauket (also spelled as Keket), which is simply the female form of the word Kuk. Like all 4 dualistic concepts in the Ogdoad, Kuk's male form was depicted as a frog, or as a frog-headed man, and the female form as a snake, or a snake-headed woman. As a symbol of darkness, Kuk also represented obscurity and the unknown, and thus chaos.[citation needed] Also,</p>

<p>Kuk was seen as that which occurred before light, thus was known as the bringer-in of light.</p>

  Norse Mythology</p>

<p>Ngilah<br />
Norse Mythology</p>

<p>Sif</p>

<p>In Norse Mythology Sif is the wife of Thor and as such one could justifiably expect her to hold a high position among the Asynjur. To the contrary Sif is bearly mentioned in the Eddas. In Snorri Sturluson's 'Gylfaaginning' she is not even mentioned in his list of the Norse Goddesses. Sif's name means 'relative', presumably an abbreviation of 'wife of Thor' and on this evidence some historians consider that she was invented by the late pagan poets to fill a gap in the Aesir's family tree.</p>

<p>However two myths survive which suggest that Sif had a more important role than simply an ornament in Bilskirnir. In 'Skaldskaparmal' (The language of Poetry) Snorri Sturluson explains why the kenning 'Sif's Hair' is used in place of the word gold. In this famous tale Loki cut off all Sif's hair for a joke but Thor became very angry and threatened to kill him. To save his own life Loki promised to get the black elves to make Sif a magical wig which would grow like her own hair. Loki succeeded in obtaining the gold wig and by trickery managed to commission many treasures including the hammer Mjolnir and the spear Gungnir. If this kenning was well established in Snorri's time it suggests that this tale is of some antiquity.</p>

<p>The cutting and restoration of the golden hair suggests a representation of the corn harvest, a golden crop which is cut and grows anew. If one was to read between the lines even further Sif would become a fertility goddess, similar to Demeter of classical legend.<br />
There is however a further concept to consider. It is common in early polytheistic religions for a sky god to be coupled with an earth goddess so that the two together bring fertility.</p>

<p>Thor is the most obvious sky god among the Aesir and lightning was believed to make the fields fertile. It would therefore make sense for the remnants of the sky/earth union to exist in the marriage of Thor and Sif. It is worth remembering that the last vestige of the Earth Mother in Norse Mythology, Jord, is only mentioned in connection with her son Thor. On this evidence I consider it safe to assume that Sif is a fertility goddess, although it is unlikely that she was actively worshipped during the late Viking period.</p>

<p>In the second myth Sif takes a more active part. In Locasenna from the Elder Edda, Loki returns to the god's banquet after being banished for killing one of the hosts servants.</p>

<p>Eager for revenge Loki insults the gods and goddesses, accusing the men of being cowards and the women of being flirtatious (including Gefjion goddess of virgins!). In the poem Sif approaches Loki with a mead cup saying that as she is being civil towards him, he can say no evil against her. In return Loki calls her a 'man hating woman' and accuses her of making Thor a cuckold. Whether Loki was supposed to be spreading lies or referring to lost myths is unclear, but it is interesting that Sif takes a major role in this tale when she is mentioned so little elsewhere.</p>

<p>Sif is described as the mother of the god Ull in several sources and he is definitely not numbered among Thor's children. Why this reference exists is a mystery, either a myth once existed to explain Ull's birth or Snorri and his colleagues were equally confused by this reference after several hundred years of Christianity.</p>

<p>A passing mention is made to Sif in Snorri's Skaldskaparmal where the giant Hrungnir threatens to kill the gods and drag off Freyja and Sif to his own home. Freyja is often included in the myths as being highly desirable to the giants but it is the only such reference to Sif. Freyja and Sif are both noted for their great beauty and Ellis Davidson has suggested that they are manifestations of the same goddess.<br />
I consider this to be highly unlikely as they belong to different households among the gods, the Aesir and the Vanir. These probably resulted in a merger of two different tribes of similar religions, long before the Viking Age. Far greater confusion exists over the attributes of Frigga and Freyja for the same reason.</p>

<p>More evidence for a cult of Sif survives in the old Lapp religion which was recorded in the seventeenth century. The Lapps worshipped a thunder god called Hora Galles, a corruption of the Norse 'Thor Karl' meaning 'Old Man Thor'. Hora Galles had a wife called Ravdna, a name which seems to be borrowed from the Norse word 'raun' the rowan tree. The Lapps believed that the red berries of the rowan were sacred to Ravdna. The use of Norse words among the Lapps is surely evidence that they were originally titles of the equivalent Norse deities. This is supported in Thor's case as the Scandinavians have used the expression 'the Old Man's out riding' to describe thundery weather to this century. The rowan is also held sacred to Thor and was named 'Thor's Salvation' as he was said to have been saved from drowning by grasping a rowan branch. It is also interesting to note that Thor's sacred colour red is also sacred to Ravdna.</p>

<p>Sif appears to have partly filled the gap left by the Germanic earth goddess, Nerthus. She was possibly worshipped on a small scale as a patron of the harvest but to a lesser extent than Frey and Thor.</p>

<p>\&quot;Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?\&quot;</p>

<p>A question given in a recent chemistry exam.</p>

<p>Most students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law,<br />
(gas cools off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or<br />
some variant, but fell short in producing a demonstration argument.</p>

<p>One student, however, wrote this:</p>

<p>\&quot;First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving.<br />
I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.</p>

<p>As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number<br />
of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.</p>

<p>Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.</p>

<p>This gives two possibilities:</p>

<p>1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.</p>

<p>2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell,<br />
then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.</p>

<p>Considering then the postulate presented to me by Teresa K. during my first year that \&quot;it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you\&quot; and taking into account the fact that over two years later, I still have not succeeded in having relations with her; then, #2 cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze.\&quot;</p>

<p>The student received the only \&quot;A\&quot; given.</p><div class="sig"></div>&quot;

<p>]It's looking like a definite possibility. I'm just concerned that this game might be run by kids, which makes for some very catalystic administration, lol. I'll give it a go sometime though.[</p>&quot;

Glukmoore, Home of the Trolls<br />
You are standing in a pile of mud, in the heart of a vast swamp. Around you are the fetid skin-covered hovels that trolls call home. Well actually, they call them 'ughrrnk', but that's a bit hard on the throats of non-trolls. Nearby some local peasants squabble over the rapidly decaying remains of the morning's hunt. Perched atop one of the huts, a badly scarred troll smears indescribable filth over his home's surface in an ill fated attempt to water proof it.<br />
[-]<br />
Based on what's left of the morning's kill, you can tell that it is 7:02 pm.<br />
[-]<br />
Bellows and noises around you let you know that it is Kendaei, Estoran 28, 1002.<br />
[-]<br />
Over the buildings of the town, the moon is visible. The moon Vordus is half full and waning.<br />
[-]<br />
The local villagers are busy erecting a statue to the latest dragon killer of their community, Marchioness Squishy.<br />

You walk among the dead now, you are a shade. Everywhere around you are the souls of those who have fallen in battle, in old age, and in grievous accidents. Each bears telltale signs of the means by which they met their end.<br />
Their souls whisper their torments, haunting your mind with their despair:<br />

Starting Off<br />
Well, there are several keys to a good Roleplay. A relationship between oneself and his/her character is a must. The better you can be your character, the more likely you are to become better at RP. Now, every good character has a background that sets up the mood for the character. Such as, \&quot;Blank's village was destroyed when he was a child.\&quot; This shall evoke a kind of, anger and resentment in this character. Fun, huh?</p>&quot;

<p>Aquiring an Alignment</p>

<p>This is choosing whether your character is good, evil or neutral.<br />
This may make things more complicated, yet all the more fun.</p>

<p>A good character is bound to be nice and affectionate. While an evil character, wishes not to be around others. Keep these things in mind when developing a character of your own.</p>&quot;

<p>Developing a Back Story</p>

<p>Now, it gets a tad more fun. We shall take a look, more in-depth, in developing a characters past.</p>

<p>Most role-player's tend to choose a dark and dank past, as to it adds more options in a character. But, that is not always true. Take Sichae for example, she is kind and a wonderful person, yet, she came from a rough childhood. It all depends on the character's background, as to who they are today.</p>&quot;

<p>Generating a Personality</p>

<p>A character's personality, ties everything together. Most basic character's, their puppet-masters share the same personality. Whether they be too lazy, or that is just all the more comfortable for them.</p>

<p>Personality shall tie in with the character's alignment. Say for example, Johny is Evil. Well, Johny is most likely going to be sinister and condescending. He isn't going to be nice, he is going to be angry. Making sense?</p>&quot;

<p>Customizing a Character</p>

<p>Now, to make your character your own, you must come up with a certain image for a character.</p>

<p>Whether you decide to draw one out, or to come up with the specifics and leave it to imagination, it is all up to you. This customizing shall tie into your personality.</p>

<p>Say for example, Exodus is an Elf.</p>

<p>Well, elves be nature, tend to be kind and calm. So, you really aren't going to see a lot of Elvish Warlords, but they do come along.</p>

<p>It depends on the alignment of your character.</p>&quot;

<p>Weaving of Words</p>

<p>Your character has been constructed, it sits in the corner.<br />
What now? Well, you must now begin to search for other RPers out there. You can find them lurking in message boards, RP Forums, MUDs and RPGs. Once you find a willing partner, begin to evoke a scene.</p>

<p>Let your words be imagination's playground. But, to be spellbinding and captivating, you musn't use plain everyday words. Look to <a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com">http://thesaurus.reference.com</a> for a thesaurus, or keep one handy at your desk.</p>&quot;

<p>The Art of Roleplay<br />
Written by Sichae Saracen and Blackmyst Penarreal</p>

<p>Examples of Word Weaving</p>

<p>Blackmyst interjects, \&quot;But Sichae, you must have an example...\&quot;. Yes, you are quite right Blackmyst. For example, 'The jaded woman glanced at his face, her blank look giving away nothing.' I would rather see something like this...'The jaded female glanced for a diminutive second at the stunning gent's visage. The anger and bitterness that burned within her was not evident in the cold expressionless gaze she offered him' Doesn't that sound better?</p>

<p>Blackmyst sets into a derelict chair, adjacent to the fireplace, \&quot;Sichae, teach them about replacing words.\&quot; Again, good show Blackmyst.<br />
Okay, repeating words, such as fire every sentence, becomes rather redundant. Redundancy is a terrible way to RP. Now, pick up your thesaurus, and look for fire. You see, \&quot;smoldering blaze, inferno.\&quot;</p>

<p>Try to use there, replacing fire.</p>

<p>Now, let's try again. You overuse the word, \&quot;hungry.\&quot; What do you do? Thesaurus. You see as a synonym, \&quot;wanton.\&quot; Now, replace your overuse and you should be fine.</p>

<p>Blackmyst raises her hand. Sichae's eyes dash towards the newly risen hand. \&quot;Sichae, what about the overuse of words? My, my, my, you are right. Okay, there are limits to the mind. Overusing the words, \&quot;and, a, the, was\&quot; can really wear on the eyes. Try using other words, instead of \&quot;and\&quot; you can use \&quot;as well, also\&quot;, but it will take some contouring of words and sentence structure. A Word Usage Guide would be nice, and you can find one here <a href="http://www.uah.edu/colleges/liberal/english/shared/word_usage_guide.htm">http://www.uah.edu/colleges/liberal/english/shared/word_usage_guide.htm</a> . But, in the end, your partner will find much more pleasure in the RP.</p>

<p>Blackmyst walks over and hands Sichae a note from the audience.</p>

<p>The note reads, \&quot;Okay man you gotta go over here and over there but you musn't do this and this but it is okay to do that, as long as you have a license oh yeah and be careful of the Dragon.\&quot; Sichae begins to vomit. This is a terrible example of good RPing. Punctuation is your friend. Run-ons and incomplete thoughts can ruin any good RP.</p>

<p>[Just thought this little thing might be handy for you hardcore rpers or those looking to play their rp game to the fullest, and now back to my game, I got a role to play, lol.]</p>&quot;

Cavernous Qexelcrag, home of the dwarves Deep in the heart of Mount Qexelcrag lie the ancient caverns that the Dwarves have called home for centuries. Colossal columns, covered with deeply carved geometric shapes, stretch up into the darkness, supporting the massive weight of the mountain above. All around you, stout dwarves discuss legendary treasures and drink heartily from mighty steins, which they readily fill from tremendous barrels nearby.<br />
[-]<br />
A cleverly crafted crystal prism allows a beam of light to fall through a crack in the great ceiling.<br />
It illuminates age old markings carved into the cavern floor, telling you that on the surface it is 2:56 am.<br />
[-]<br />
A second prism marks out the date on the calendar as Year 1002, Saliern<br />
25.<br />
Yet a third shows the day of the week as Deimsdaei. So finely wrought are these displays that you marvel at the cunning and skill involved.<br />

<p>BarnCatDrgNChaotic Animal Re: Legend of the Green Dragon - I kinda figured this would take on a life of it's own and wondered if I shouldn't have started it's own thread, good catch. I'll leave the Conquered...line for introductory and where each game applies to {CAT}. If one of those territories takes off? {To make it easier on Raiven, *blush* heh} It's own thread works. Btw, Kokodrgn has recently joined in on the fun. Enow I head over there to lay an almighty storm giant wallomping upon him, lol. Jk. Just hold still just in case. Btw I have a 6000 bounty on me for decimating a dwarf army, if anyone's lookin for some cool cash, take on meee, take on me taaake me onnnn, take on me, lol.</p>

<p>KoKoDrgNChaotic Animal Re: Legend of the Green Dragon - lol i died twice. i have no more torment. dont know if thats good. my soul is half gone too. and im out of traveling funds and turns. ugh i hate waiting... fun game though. i enjoyed goin to all the towns and lookin at what barn posts lol</p>

Re: Legend of the Green Dragon - I'm lvl 11 now &amp; got jailed a 2nd time - I tried robbing the bank, lol!</p>

<p>BarnCatDrgNChaotic Animal Re: Legend of the Green Dragon - What's a good name for a Clan for over there? FarmahermInsidius wants to collect up on the bounty on me and slipt it with me, but I'm rapidly becoming the G_3 of that place. One more level to go and I face the mighty Green Dragon.</p>

<p>BarnCatDrgNChaotic Animal Re: Legend of the Green Dragon - To take the dark blue pill and cure heartburn and indigestion and acid trip reflux in under 20 minutes: <a href="http://www.chillywhack.com/dragon/referral.php?r=Cobalt%20Manticore">http://www.chillywhack.com/dragon/referral.php?r=Cobalt%20Manticore</a> To take the light blue pill and decongest your nasals and sarcophagus from phlegm: <a href="http://www.chillywhack.com/dragon/referral.php?r=Trik">http://www.chillywhack.com/dragon/referral.php?r=Trik</a> You guys got your links? They can be found in JCP's Hunters Lodge under Referrals, go ahead, flaunt your wares you little hussies, lol. {You will Love those points!}</p>

<p>BarnCatDrgNChaotic Animal Re: Legend of the Green Dragon - I now stand on the precipice of being amongst theee Mightiest in the game. Thought I'd take a break {that and I gotta go to work soon, lol}, and let one fervent persistent wild Shader go frenzymadcrazy and catch up! He who is level 15, fights the Green Dragon, and can start a clan, at least that's what they tell me there.</p>

Re: Legend of the Green Dragon - Ya bunch of hooligans!!</p>

<p>BarnCatDrgNChaotic Animal Re: Legend of the Green Dragon - Yes, but hooligans with mean moves, yo. I am level 15, but the Green Dragon is a big brick wall for awhile, might have to amp up my weaponry, stack up some buffs, etc.<br />
This LotGD thing is Not Just Chilly/Squishy's, but an actual game server download thingy. A few of the other members there have got their own versions, which to me kinda cheapens things from lack of distinctive niche, but still quite fun. And I want my own version!</p>

<p>Eventually. Maybe. {I've been striving for a game with built in forum or vice versa for awhile now}<br />
Congrats on your honorary title Matrix/Catrix! The way I play you'd think I'd have won it by now, lol.</p>

<p>{COAT} ..a mixture of COC &amp; CAT.. Chaotic Outlanders Animal Tribe?</p>

<p>{CAOS} ..CAT/COC/SOC blended.. Chaos Animate Outside of Shade?</p>

<p>{SKEW} Shade's Knights Errant Worldwide? Just trying out some ideas. Well... off to my cavern I go for today, one of you may yet still be able to catch up and overtake. Best of all lucks to ya.</p>

<p>The Green Dragon's a tough customer!</p>

Re: Legend of the Green Dragon - I like CAOS! I tried the came costume as you Barn - pretty funny...I'm close to you - lvl 14 now and my weaponry is MUCH better than before, lol...take a look at me when you are on again....Next task for me will be to get enough Stone to build my shack...</p>

<p>KoKoDrgNChaotic Animal Re: Legend of the Green Dragon - i just hit level 10. matrix you get that gold? some old dude said to give it to someone. oh if he tells you to give it to someone DONT search for yourself. he gets pissed and steals all your gold lol. he took 3k. ugh. this sucks. im still a farmie.</p>

<p>BarnCatDrgNChaotic Animal Re: Legend of the Green Dragon - I cheesed out and bought two shacks, lol. Koko try a Haunters Lodge, they're in most towns, and their costumes rent out for various lengths of time, the Esoterra costumes are free. I'm sooo heading back in there. As. in. NOW!</p>

<p>I'm not convinced everyone there is VoTiNg! And there seems to be a bit of drama surrounding who gets into office, ethics, a bit too much drama. I'm not sure I want to win as much now, lol.</p>

<p>Stuff like that keeps me outta wanting to be moderator at CGShade, I'd rather Mod here where I am allowed to deal with troubles the way they should be: CoMpLeTeLy!</p>

<p>THE GREEN DRAGON!</p>

<p>As sung by Merry and Pippin in the movie The Return of the King, The Green Dragon's song is:</p>

<p>Oh, you can search far and wide<br />
You can drink the whole town dry<br />
But you'll never find a beer so brown<br />
But you'll never find a beer so brown<br />
As the one we drink in our hometown<br />
As the one we drink in our hometown<br />
You can drink your fancy ales<br />
You can drink 'em by the flagon<br />
But the only brew for the brave and true<br />
Comes from the Green Dragon..</p>&quot;

Unfortunately Chillywhack's version's server's crashed, so a relocation to the DragonCat version. BarnC- uh Stargoyle has the links for that one. Sorry folks, kinda droppd the ball on keep yun's updated. Been living in interesting times again. I don't think I'll be getting one, one of my own that is, it's a huge chunk of coding that needs hosted. The search goes on. CryptoKnight the Cobalt Manticore over and out.]</p>&quot;

<p>MORE OF THE BEAUTIFUL GREEN DRAGON</p>

<p>Once, there was a green dragon<br />
Who lived in a land far away<br />
He was a unhappy dragon<br />
Until a boy saw him one day</p>

<p>The boy was very frightened<br />
But saw the dragon was sad<br />
And asked, what was the problem<br />
Maybe he could help with that</p>

<p>The dragon looked at him sadly<br />
And said, You can come closer by<br />
You see, I was born without wings<br />
And all other dragons can fly</p>

<p>I am different from other dragons<br />
Out of shame, I live here alone<br />
If only I had a set of wings<br />
I could return to my home</p>

<p>The boy felt deeply sorry for him<br />
Poor dragon who looked so sad<br />
And said, I will try to help you<br />
Please do not feel so bad</p>

<p>I will ask the people of my village<br />
How we can get you some wings<br />
I am sure they have an answer<br />
For they know everything</p>

<p>The village people had a long meeting<br />
The decision was really not hard<br />
They decided to knit a set of wings<br />
And all would do their part</p>

<p>The whole village was busy knitting<br />
With wool that would never fade<br />
The wings turned out to be beautiful<br />
A lovely rainbow shade</p>

<p>The people showed the dragon<br />
The wings they had all help make<br />
The green dragon cried with happiness<br />
Providing them with a lake</p>

<p>The lake would give them water<br />
So the people were happy as well<br />
They are never hungry or suffer thirst<br />
Because... And this is the story they tell</p>

<p>Once, there was a green dragon...</p>&quot;

<p>Now you just Know we can conquer this place, but we can probably even make our own, but play it a little first and then we'll whatever. I'm hyping it for a new Forum option, community, I'm hypering out over it lol. All it requires is a server I think, and it's good to go, but like all good sites, like here, it costs a few spent gold pieces to keep up and going.*</p>&quot;

<p>Admin there, Rhea, informed me some time ago they were having some server issues and might be moving to a new one. Give the plainlink a whirl then <a href="Http://www.crazyrealms.com/lotgd_1.1.0/">Http://www.crazyrealms.com/lotgd_1.1.0/</a> and if that don't work, I don't know. I'll be trying it out tonight myself, I got a character to level up lol. Agra you remembered that far back! The original version Seth ABle's Red Dragon, hell I don't even KNOW that far back. I just stumbled onto the link when Chillywhack advertised his on either Urban Dead or Shartak, so I tried it out and have been worldhopping since. That's the main hangup for me, the reliability of the servers and the cost of getting an LotGD Hosted! But man a game/forum with a built in or forum/game is right up my alley. :D It spells out the final forum solution, lol.</p>&quot;

Referral Page Legend of the Green Dragon</p>

<p>I will automatically receive 25 points for each person that you refer to this website who makes it to level 4.</p>

<p>How does the site know that I referred a person?</p>

<p>Easy! When I tell my friends about this site, give out the following link:</p>

<p><a href="http://logd.constantintilople.com/referral.php?r=Metaphorm">http://logd.constantintilople.com/referral.php?r=Metaphorm</a></p>

<p>If I do, the site will know that I were the one who sent them here. When they reach level 4 for the first time, I'll get my points!</p>

<p>Now most referral links or other MMOG links they forbid you from posting on public forums, but I'm on record for saying it's okay to. At least I think I am, just as soon as I can find the post I said Okay on.</p>&quot;

Subject: Server News from WHAT NOT Rhea<br />
Body:<br />
I just wanted to send everyone this YOM because I have GREAT news!!<br />
The new server has just been paid for (we can thank my hubby for his unknown help on that.lol) I am waiting for david and his wife to get back with me after it has been registered. The server I went with is rpdomains package 3. For as fellow green dragon lovers I felt that the servers offered by them would hold the load better than from a host that is not related to the gaming industry. As with any server move this will be hectic for all staff involved. Please be patient as we begin the transition to the new server so we can put more great modules back in.<br />
Thank You,<br />
Rhea<br />
P.S.<br />
As you all know if you need anything please let Hinder or Brimm know as they are my partners. Thanks again...<br />

Uhm, yes, kinda. I'll bump my LotGD thread on the Metaside, it's actually Aqrn&amp;Agra's but it's meta-associated lol. They've managed to find a free server too.</p>

<p>RAIVEN:<br />
I messaged Matrix about it. Do you have a server for your own version Cat?</p>

<p>BaRnCaT &lt;StillCHAOSian&gt;:<br />
So where to next? The MetaPhorum's been workin on it's own version, very basic, but not as cavalier and powermad as Owlies.</p>

<p>OwlMoons MotD:<br />
2. If a member of a clan has not been active for 90 days or more they will be autodeleted from the clan and game. *note* If you suddenly notice a drop in your members it may be from the autodeletion process of inactive accounts. Please keep your clan and your accounts active. If you love your character and your clan, Show it some love!<br />
NE</p>

<p>OwlMoons MotD:<br />
Since there is so much popularity in making new clans here in this realm, I have decided that there will be a new way to deal with overpopulation of clans. 1. If a clans owner has not been active in 30 days or more that clan will be deleted.</p>

WANT NOT Rhea says she might be looking into another server soon.</p>

<p>Matrix:<br />
At the new crazy LOTGD site, they have added another game day per day &amp; I guess will be adding more? It's growing on me....I just seem to run into a LOT of connection issues with their site....I reached Godhood at the owlmoon one anyway - what more is there really to do there? Pay more taxes?</p>

I throw stuff on them. But Christ I hate tha spelling of words with a w for no reason.</p>

<p>&lt;Chaos&gt; Fruitcake BarnCat:<br />
Eh well it works for my schedule but I did have one long miserable wait 34 expoints &amp; 0 turns away from another blusprings once lol. I just dig the smalltown feel, just think the first 30 there will be legends in a year or two. What's this about tax? We made too much exp now we make too much money there? *CoUgH!* Sounds fun... If they aren't deleting the site they're overtaxing devaluing it, they can't handle the &lt;CHAOS&gt;!</p>

<p>Matrix:<br />
I maxxed out my dwellings, so I may have to make sure all of the coffers are full &amp; then place the rest with the clan vault...Taxes are killing me there for sure!<br />
Barn,<br />
I'm not so sure about that new LOTGD site - they are set to allow only two new game days per real day - they allow up to 50 player fights per day, but there aren't enough players over there for that, lol. ...</p>

<p>el_chico:<br />
put all your gold into a safe house guys i hate that mf'in tax man, b4 he appeared i had 32mil, now i got 4mil</p>

A fresh new world to conquer where only 13 warriors play and 5 clans are with 1 - 3 members each. -link-?/referral.php?r=BarnCat We could conquer this place. One clan Dares to call itself &lt;Chaos&gt;, how's this sound to you guys?</p>

<p>Fresh Meat BarnCat:<br />
I heard they brought Felyne back, I might return sooner lol only to have them remove it again I bet.</p>

<p>RAIVEN:<br />
We have a lot of gold and cash on the owlmoons lotgd. Plus I just built a castle in Japan. I like the slower style they put back on so it takes longer to level. The chat in the townsquares is retarded, I agree. I just look for them to kill though, cuz yeah, I am big. And evil.</p>

<p>Fresh Meat BarnCat:<br />
(8h56m) &lt;Chaos&gt; NOT Rhea tosses out some catnip for the BarnCat, mmm, fresh meat.*wink*<br />
(23m9s) Fresh meat BarnCat sniffs it cautiously, having popped awake. Hops to his feet and points his finger to address, \&quot;Now you listen here, Cha... os ..clan? ... Where'd she go?\&quot; Brandishes his mighty pitchfork and proceeds out<br />
(0s) Fresh meat BarnCat says, \&quot;Well that's enough Noobieville for me. Rhea, we shall meet again.\&quot;</p>

<p>Fresh Meat BarnCat:<br />
I forgot to add, it's called The Chaotic Warriors, and that NOT Rhea person is of a species called CAT.</p>

<p>Fresh Meat BarnCat:<br />
There's another &lt;Chaos&gt; clan in Crazyrealms LotGD, and I don't think we started it. What to do about that. {Sorry, ProBoard's still not letting me click on Post Reply Quote, anything.}</p>

<p>RAIVEN:<br />
I took over a pyramid this morning but yeah ..you just get a pyramid and they take it back Built a new castle in 'Japan so you guys can sleep there. We can not hire guards anymore it seems? And I lost my job daaammit. Well everytime I built new furniture someone else would take it before I had a chance to get it anyway,</p>

<p>Matrix:<br />
How do those $%#&amp;!@@#!! Crows get control of stuff so fast? I voted FOR PvP - I have 118 since they last 'reset' the counter...</p>

<p>{See, first Chilly's imploded, OwlMoon's deleted our clan and I messaged them about it only to recieve a kindamocking reply from DemonhunterSK laughing asking what clan that coulda possibly been, how does he forgot the CHAOS, we wrecked and ruled, but we were behaved enough to not have warranted a deletion like that. I skated past character deletion myself by still being in the transitional post DK gelatinous soul limbo stages I think and am now Felyne, and I saw a Psychotic CONDOK this morning in there, he's a page now though, he might have been deleted as well. We saved up so long and hard for the clan, do we wanna do it again?, there? Sassy's? Or Constantinilople! (sp?) Const's a very basic starter site so there won't be alot of the modules we had in the past spoiling us, you can die rapidly in ten rounds if you're not careful. I could write up some neato modules, customize some of the older ones, and am always available for suggestions towards bringing that LotGD up to Funnest.}</p>&quot;

<p>{I just gotta say lmao cause I've earned the title of Ken Doll and my race is Centaur, with Seductive Skills specialty. This means I'm a Sedolltive Kentaur, some h0%ny plastic halfhorse I be lol. But then I forgot I still got the Stallion, implications ensue especially since I probably still gotta ride from town to town. What a visual lol. I really don't like the way he's looking at me, with those come hither haypile eyes. Oh this is so damn wrong lol.}</p>&quot;

<p>Sorry about my lack of attendence at owlmoons. They could have f'n sent me an email telling me to log in before they delete &lt;Chaos&gt;</p>

<p>*I think we're at CrazyRealms, at least me and Matrix are, Raiven too maybe. There's already a &lt;Chaos&gt; there true, it's run by someone who has not even Seen Shade, {in many cases this is a good thing} but after a few YoMs talking gaming philosophy I think she'll work out to be a fine member of our clan lol.*</p>

<p>{Crypto, you frikkin wish, but We'll see we'll See, get at me and we'll talk terms and conditions lol.}</p>

<p>*Me and Matrix have been effin around with the Clan Forge there just creating the baddest weaponry this side of any MMOG.*</p>

<p>{As for Owlmoons I wonder if they really wanted us there.}</p>

<p>*The closest thing to a MetaPhorum Exclusive LotGD is the Constantintilople version, it's tougher than the Dragoncat server but it's still starting out. Bring patience.*</p>

<p>{I haven't got any word from Matrix on this yet, but as I told that snide sounding scoffing DemonhunterSK I go where the Clan goes.}</p>&quot;

<p>I've just been kinda halfway blundering around for fun, kinda trying to level. It's a school of hard knocks life. I'll send BarnCat over to His new usual LotGD hangout to bring us back some modular ideas.</p>&quot;

To: 	_Agrajag_ 	 (51 of 70) </p>
 	
<p>I guess First where do you want suggestions submitted to? A Forum linked to the site, one of the pre-existing ones either here or there or your LotGD's Own forum, the Petition for Help module, the City Council petition module, an Admin/VIP Only dwelling or Elites Privileged city, these have become suggestions of their own lol.</p>

<p>Here's some nice starter ideas if you're of the time to do em. They'll take some of the edge off the arduous levelling and gold and character structure. Ancient Ruins. Treasure Chest. \&quot; Inn Cellar. Chat and Emotes colors in Preferences. Dwellings. Dag Durnik's Quests. Penguin Overlord and King Polarbear rite of level passage type missions. Lumberyard, Mine, Quarry. Pet Shoppe. Squires. Weapons Armors Forge. Ther's more but it's kinda</p>

<p>Tricky cause at the same time you do kinda have to make things a challenge or you'll be serverlagged with an abundance of junk accounts, site litter like unused dwellings, dead clans &amp; other file space takers. Most of what I listed you can die from almost as easily as benefit from so there's the fun of risk there, but tweaking the turns and expgold rate gains will make it a tad less devastating lol.</p>

<p>If you find a section of module code I could help customize I'm brimming with ideas of the \&quot;If I Had An LotGD, This Is What I'd Do\&quot; variety. (hides notebook) I've never RUN an LotGD, but I've played and helped kind of admin 1 or 2. I know where they can do right, I know where they can go wrong, I know that I like to say I know but I find out later I might not have known as much as I said I knew about knowing what I claimed to have known.</p>

<p>Take for instance uh 13 towns, one central newby town that stays accessible even after you've departed for the wide bright world. 8 safer regular travel towns faced in the 8 directions of Chaos, 4 extreme distance towns the main North East West South directions, each themed after months holidays loosely but each with their respective species of course. Semi almost based off the topics here as well. a Transphorumers town called Electric City. a Ghost Esp town, a Cryptonatural town etc etc. The list goes on as this world's in my head (taps his labored noggin) all rightbrained up here I think.</p>

<p>But then I didn't want to overwhelm you lol.</p>&quot;

<p>Oh he'll jump on that list on the weekend. Some of those places are just sooo boring. Polareia Borealis? Whatever it's called, omg (I'd check the spelling but I'm all out of turns and it won't let me even see the options to travel to! lol, but I cooouuld pet crazy Audrey's llamas! Hm, okay, I googled it)... I can build a snowman, which I'm inevitably always criticized about, that's it!</p>

<p>I'm sort of working on a list of new monsters to fight, we're getting frightful bored of the same opponent time and time again. So definitely feel free to unload your notebook here, and we'll transfer what we can to over there. It's mostly just a spare time on the weekend project, unless Ag gives me admin access... Scowl. But then I'm not sure I could handle that, I'm a little slow, eh? Just need the exposure! Giggle.</p>&quot;

<p>I must have been accessing a whole other dimension to come up with some of the towns, masters (trainers), and player races. In fact I'm fairly certain that I was lol. And in these unstable hands that universe could be brought into our's.</p>

<p>The Cobalt Manticore is on The Original LotGD studying it up, it's pretty similar to your guys's but he has yet to leave the newbie island of Wen to see what mods MightyE himself would have put in.</p>&quot;

<p>Oo, newbie island sounds good. Some ppl might appreciate some tutorialing. But then the old buffs would just despise it, hm. It's like in RuneScape!</p>

<p>Yep, the mod is called Island of Wen, with tutoring fairy alot like Navi of LegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime, the fairy's name is Eibwen, and I just now caught that it's name backwards is newbie lol. Dunno if I've ever liked the word newbie, maybe Entrant, or Immigrant, making the Island a Citizenship screen of sorts. My idea kept it accessible to the older players so those so inclined can pop in and offer helpful advice and tips and help weed out troublemakers who arrive on it's shores.</p>&quot;

<p>I've added the island of wen, as well as the battle arena. We'll try these out and see how they go. I also moved the bloodbank to esoterra. Some other modules were added this morning too, but I can't remember which ones in particular. Dan Durnick (sp?) is installed, but I haven't seen it. Perhaps it requires PVP? Should we turn on pvp? There seems to be a module called pvp-invulnerability (or something like that) where a player can opt out of pvp for a dk. I've also had a few quests installed, but I don't see those either.</p>

<p>Meta get your notebook out, we'll see what we can do.</p>&quot;

<p>Dag Durnik a Quests module will be probably in your capital city's main pub. Pvp immunity is nice if your server allows it and there's always that one guy nobody'll ever catch up to and he's not a friendly guy immunity saves alot of headaches lol. The exp rate gain loss ratio to being able to be killed up to 3 times a day by giant bored players was a staller on one server, I've moved on from there since. Good riddance, let someone else flutter about in that killing jar. I'll scout around inside Constantintilople and see if those new mods took hold in a bit.</p>&quot;

<p>hey I wasn't THAT bad, was I? I was merely playing my uber-chaotic role by pvping anyone who happened to share the screen with me. It wasn't my fault that 9/10 of the time it was one of my clanmates...</p>&quot;

<p>Or as his name better sounds, Veggiesucking Woodpecker lol.</p>

<p>And so he says quit whining and shut off Pvp, but BarnCat finds that somehow the shutoff is not working.</p>

<p>And so with dozens of other LotGDs to go to?</p>

<p>Why stay and play so others can slay lol.</p>&quot;

<p>[I'm dabbling in the OOOORIginal server run by MightyE himself now. It's the original default setup, Degolburg, Romar, Qexelcrag, Glukmoore &amp; Glorfindal. No town renames, but they have dome some interesting things with Steeds and Familiars. I just bought a Lightning Bug that gives me 15 rounds of Bug Zapper buff lol. Eat your thorax out Plasma Bugs. I'm the <a href="http://lotgd.net/referral.php?r=CobaltManticore">http://lotgd.net/referral.php?r=CobaltManticore</a> at the <a href="http://lotgd.net">http://lotgd.net</a>/ doing things there that raise eyebrows. They aren't easily allowing anymore clans to be created though, so I'm weighing my options there.]</p>&quot;

<p>On the LotGD front, at least I'm dying hilariously, but trying to save up to get a Skinny Cat to name BarnCat.</p>

<p>I noticed an unreleased Zagreo module in there lmao can't wait to battle him in the forest! \&quot;You have encountered ZAGREO which lunges at you with POO COVERED GNOMES AND BAD MADONNA LYRICS!\&quot; &gt; \&quot;You have Defeated the ZAGREO!

<p>I liked the fruit tree module from Chillys(?). That was pretty cool. and the apple lady with the blue apples. I also liked when we first got to Owlmoons and were getting tons of exp in the forest. Sure it was too easy, but there could be ways to make it a challenge. I also liked how the weapons and armor carried over each DK. (I haven't gotten a dragon kill yet, but I don't have oodles of time to find out for myself yet lol) I dunno, I am having fun with it. I would love to have stuff other than Forest to do though. Caves, mines, quarrel and whatnot. Quests. Quests are good. Quests are more fun than [Look For Something to Kill] over and over. I'm on a phone, so it is easy to fall into the same mindnumbing [Again] [Again] [Again] habits from Shade.</p>

<p>I usually log in at least once a day, so you'll probably see me around.</p>

<p>(Oh!!! I just remembered that Stonemason module! that was cool. I never did find their secret headquarters though...)</p>

<p>It's okay, lol I was just browsing your other links, setup info I think. It tells which modules have been installed and which ones are in the plannings. BUT JAJAJA IT WILL BE MUCH FUN MEETING THIS GREEN ZAGDREON lol.</p>

<p>And as to the moving stuff I know I know, are you open to a new thematic? Less and renamed folders, new site name, I like starting fresh and new, with what's worked in the past, but different scenery lol. I email ya what I got so far and work on the rest at work tonight.</p>

<p>I think it would probably work out fine with a clean slate. There are so many junk/deleted posts around here that we really wouldn't want to carry over anyhow. Ag tried writing a script for nabbing all of the posts from here, but couldn't pull it off. Short of wading through post by post, I don't think we'll be able to move it all over.</p>

<p>As for the folders, you list off what you want, we'll make it happen. But I think you have the ability to do it yourself anyways! Nothing in there is of any consequence. Do as you will. I think you would be best off posting what you want done over there here, dunno how Ag feels on that, but it's just as easy here as it is through email, except you can edit and add to your thoughts here, whereas you can't so much change that email you already sent... Or reexamine it, unless you saved it to some sort of sent folder. Rambling on! Must be moving on now. I haven't looked in on the beehive thingy in long time, maybe I'll do that. Oh, and the beehive theme is definitely planned to be scrapped. We just need something to replace it with. Oh right, I'm leaving now.</p>&quot;

Cosmic phone hasn't rung; why don't they call? <br />
By Joel Achenbach <br />
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - They gotta be out there. We can find them if we figure out their frequency. It's a matter of looking in the right part of the spectrum, with the right kind of detector and the correct search algorithm. We are not alone; we're just momentarily a bit clueless. <br />
This was the drift of the conversation Friday in an immaculate paneled room on the second floor of the Harvard Faculty Club. On a wall hung a framed portrait of a gray-haired alumnus in a suit and white vest, looking as though he'd just nodded off. Delicate china lined the bookshelves. In a different age one might imagine that explorers and adventurers would gather here, around the fireplace, to discuss the dinosaur bones they'd found in the Rockies, or the latest news about the search for the source of the Nile. <br />
But on this day, everyone talked only of the search for garrulous alien civilizations. These were some of the elites of SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. <br />
"It's very simple: Are we alone?" said Bruce Murray, chairman of the Planetary Society, the meeting's sponsor. "It's not a matter of theory. It's a matter of observation. In the meantime, it's a matter of intuition." <br />
Band of optimists <br />
Faith, even. Many of the people in the room had spent much of their lives listening to the heavens, waiting for that elusive signal. They're a band of optimists, tireless in their quest. <br />
What they do is considered goofy by critics, even absurd, but they doggedly search onward, forced by the dictates of the scientific method to admit that they still haven't found what they're looking for. They don't believe in flying saucers and alien abduction. They just believe in the possibilities of life in space. <br />
Among those here were Frank Drake, creator of the famous Drake Equation, the formula for estimating the number of communicative civilizations in our galaxy; Dan Werthimer, who has lured 5 million people to join the cause in a program called SETI@home; Kent Cullers, a physicist whose enthusiasm hasn't waned despite a quarter-century of searches that have yielded only static; and Paul Horowitz, who searches in the optical wavelengths, scanning the sky for an alien laser pulse. <br />
The positive side of negative results <br />
Murray titled the workshop "The Significance of Negative SETI Results." It was a rather provocative title. SETI scientists don't talk much about negative results. You can't prove a negative, they say. You can't discover the absence of the extraterrestrials, because the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. <br />
But Murray wanted them to consider that, surely, four decades of a null result should tell us something about the hypothesis that there are intelligent, communicative civilizations in space. <br />
Ever since Drake aimed an 85-foot radio telescope in Green Bank, W.Va., toward two star systems in 1960, the SETI faithful have conducted numerous surveys of the night sky. They have known that it was a high-risk, high-reward business. Chances are that they'll find nothing, because our instruments remain primitive (cosmically speaking). But they might possibly make the greatest discovery in the history of mankind. <br />
Though there is no evidence of ETI, the Copernican Principle says that there is nothing particularly special about the Earth, that whatever has happened here might happen elsewhere. <br />
There are upwards of 100 billion stars in our galaxy alone, and there are tens of billions of galaxies in the observable universe. Life emerges from ordinary matter, stuff like carbon and oxygen, and there's plenty of it in the cosmos. On the basic question, the people in this room have no doubt: <br />
They're out there. <br />
SETI makes another leap, presuming that some of those civilizations will be communicative, and that this period of communication will overlap our own period of listening (it doesn't do us any good if a communicative civilization collapsed 2 billion years ago and its radio transmitters have become buried in the dark green soil of the planet Tralfamadore.) <br />
Blips, but no proof <br />
In the past four decades, there've been tantalizing moments, false alarms, some inexplicable blips, some intriguing anomalies, but nothing that has come close to meeting the standard of scientific proof. <br />
"We just haven't looked at nearly enough stars," Drake told a reporter before the meeting began. "We shouldn't have succeeded yet." <br />
Drake and others concede only that, in the wavelengths they've searched, there doesn't appear to be any nearby intelligent civilization sending an intentional beacon toward Earth <br />
("We've ruled out omnidirectional beacons of more than 10{+1}{+3} watts with a steady duty cycle.") <br />
Project Phoenix, a search sponsored by Drake's organization, the SETI Institute, has been the most sensitive survey so far, examining many possible radio wavelengths, but it targeted only 1,000 nearby stars. That's a tiny portion of the galaxy, never mind all the other galaxies out there. <br />
"Earthlings are just getting into the game," said Werthimer, a fast-talking University of California-Berkeley professor who is chief scientist for SETI @ home. He urged against making too many assumptions about the way extraterrestrials would want to communicate. About half of all great discoveries are purely serendipitous, he said. The breakthrough might not even come from a SETI search. "It'll be somebody doing a dark matter experiment, or a gravity wave experiment," he said. <br />
Werthimer showed a slide with a newspaper headline: "30 Trillion Fruitless Tries." That's how many different wavelengths from different stars have been examined by SETI searches. But Werthimer said that's still only a start, that new generations of computers and spectrum analyzers will allow searchers to examine far more carefully the radiation coming to Earth. <br />
"I think we need another factor of a million or a billion. So that's 20 or 30 years away," he said. <br />
Hope endures <br />
Cullers, who is blind, told the group, <br />
"You wouldn't be very impressed if I looked all over the sky and didn't see anything. Because I can't see." <br />
Current SETI searches are still virtually blind, he said. We need bigger telescopes, maybe one on the far side of the moon. Keep trying for 100 years, maybe 200, and we'll find them, he said. <br />
"Anybody who spends his or her life devoted to this has to be very hopeful," Murray told a reporter. "My personal analog to this is monks working on an illuminated manuscript in the Middle Ages. They work on one page almost their entire life. They don't expect to see the completed Bible." <br />
The discussion had large dollops of radio-astronomy jargon - this many megahertz, this wavelength. <br />
Gravitational lenses. Any such discussion is an odd mixture of hard science, advanced engineering and speculative exo-psychology. We shouldn't presume too much, the visionaries will say, but then a moment later they will reveal their latest hypothesis about ET motivations. There's a lot of interstellar mind-reading going on. <br />

Actually that's what they say I they were. Scientists, notthe microbes, the microbes are dead, possibly. Possibly microbes, possibly dead.

<br />
From: AluminusKann   1/29/2004 8:46 pm To: ALL  (1 of 8)  189.1 Sci-fi and fantasy entertainment, from "E.T." to "X-Files" to countless books, has milked a lot of miles out of the "little green men" fodder. But hard-core believers say alien life is no fiction, and the truth is being kept at bay. Indeed, thousands of eyewitness testimonials worldwide report on UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) sightings and, in more extreme cases, alien abductions. <br />
One hotbed of controversy is the 1947 incident in Roswell, New Mexico. Several townsfolk reported seeing a blaze in the sky, and then a crash. When a rancher went out to patrol his property, he found unusual wreckage — strange metal debris and a shallow trench in the land. Some materials were etched with foreign symbols. By all accounts, military authorities descended on the site and cordoned it off for inspection. An initial press release about a "flying disc" was quickly retracted; authorities then claimed it was a weather balloon. Meanwhile, leaks from the hospital at a nearby base told stories of strange alien bodies, recovered from a nearby crash site, being inspected the morgue. One nurse reportedly produced sketches and was promptly relocated, her whereabouts are now unknown. <br />
Out-and-out accusations were made, that the vehicle was a UFO, the bodies were alien, and the government shut-down public knowledge. Fifty-odd years later, theories still abound about why such a conspiracy would exist. Some say officials had many motives: to avoid public alarm, or outdo Russians with their own UFO investigations. The government, meanwhile, is sticking to its story. <br />

Scientists Discover How Aliens Speak <br />
23-Mar-2004 <br />
Scientists have recently re-created what sounds like the UFO metal found at the crash site in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. Whether or not they were inspired by descriptions of this mysterious metal is unknown. <br />
One phenomenon that almost all abductees describe is the way extraterrestrials "talk inside their heads." Now scientists may have discovered how this works too. <br />
Maggie McKee writes in New Scientist that NASA has developed a computer program that can read the words in our heads before we actually speak them by analyzing the nerve signals in our mouths and throats with button-sized sensors attached to the chin and Adam's apple. In the future, they may learn how to do this without the outer apparatus. <br />
"Biological signals arise when reading or speaking to oneself with or without actual lip or facial movement," says researcher Chuck Jorgensen. NASA plans to use this technology in situations where astronauts have to communicate in space, but can't actually talk with one another. Spies could also use it to "talk" with each other without being overheard. Computer scientist Phil Green says, "If you're not actually speaking but just thinking about speaking then at least some of the messages still get sent from the brain to the vocal tract." <br />
The late Colonel Phil Corso said that captured alien technology, from UFO crashes such as the one at Roswell, was slowly integrated into the U.S. manufacturing at levels where new technologies are developed. Whether these recent discoveries are a result of this, or are an independent development, will be unknown to the researchers themselves, since the UFO technology was leaked in a way that allowed its origin to remain undetected. <br />
It's a shame that scientists don't study the statements and memories of UFO abuctees and witnesses for new science that they can develop. This may be changing, now that Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, is donating $13.5m to SETI's search for extraterrestrial life. The money will be used to create a radio telescope made up of more than 200 dishes to catch signals from space. <br />
Allen says, "An instrument of this magnitude…will result in the expansion of our understanding of how the universe was formed, and how it has evolved and our place therein." <br />
Whitley Strieber is disappointed in the slow progress of ET science—and also in the slow progress of his beloved Catholic Church. But he doesn't just complain about it, he writes a devastating story about it. You've never read anything like this! (now on sale).&gt;Sorry, can't advert!&lt;&gt;BTW, Ella, sounds like a weird question, but have you heard of the Bureau for Paranormal Defense and Research oops, Research and Defense? It sounded like an Area51 or "The Shop" kinda thing.&lt;&gt;Final note here, ever hear your own thinking voice inside your head so clear you can nearly really hear it? Can you imagine doing it that well that any person you focused on could hear it also? Is that like that Alien Headspeak they refer to....&lt; <br />

Crop Circles. <br />
Martha Talks Back: Reader Questions Answered by Martha Brockenbrough <br />
Dear Martha, <br />
What really causes crop circles? My friends say it could be extra terrestrials, like in the movie. <br />
--Mel <br />
Dear Mel -- if that's really your name, <br />
Crop circles have been a mystery to many modern Earthlings since they first started appearing in England in 1978. They're often called a hoax, but that's a misnomer. Crop circles are real (they're in the dictionary, after all). But their origins are much less exotic than many people originally thought. <br />
And it's easy to understand why. <br />
They looked so perfect, seemingly too perfect for a person to make. <br />
They appeared swiftly and mysteriously, emerging overnight in fields of corn, barley, and other crops. What humans could do this without getting caught? Thus, crop circles were a mystery. Some wondered if a vortex of wind or plasma could have caused it. Others wondered if they were the result of something called a "mind-energy field." Or perhaps military experiments, chemicals, or buried ruins. The possible causes bandied about are many, most exciting among them the idea that they were extraterrestrial in origin. <br />
The movie Signs, which I quite enjoyed, does nothing to dispel this myth. In Signs, aliens somehow managed to cross the universe, but needed to make crop-circle navigational marks so they could find their way around big, bad Earth. Whatever. <br />
The people who still think aliens are responsible for crop circles clearly were hiding in their pantries when the inventors of the modern crop circle, two British chaps named Doug Bower and Dave Chorley, first started making them with implements no more mysterious than some rope and a 5-ft iron bar for bending the corn. (They later enhanced their equipment, and ultimately confessed to their hijinx in the early 1990s.) <br />
That's all it takes, people. I've seen it demonstrated on TV. Even the claims of ancient crop circles (such as the Devil's Circle in Scotland) could be made the same way. This is pretty primitive stuff, even if it is elegant to look at. <br />
Even so, there are some people who cling steadfastly to the hope that at least some of the crop circles are not made by people. Some of them claim the crop circles made by humans are hoaxes. But how could they be? They're crop circles--they're not fake just because we know how they're made. <br />
The people hoping for an exotic explanation would probably be better off holding out for a sequel to Signs; maybe then, the people of Earth will have the good sense to mow down the crop circles before Mars Attacks. Ak ak. <br />

One would have to calculate theorhetics of the aberrent mindset of the human Stephen King in so much as such my huge fake vocabulary sets, lol. I'm continued onto Frank Herbert's The GodMakers. He's got it down to an art, you could almost be tempted to go out and do it yourself and be a god by tommorow. But! But, this is fiction. Like the secret of Flight, falling and missing the ground, Ty Arthur Adams! Herbert's becoming a god happens deep in the future and outer space, the premise I see at first seems to be in order to become a god, you have to Die then Survive it? Let's see here, inssssstructionsss Ah here they be. Come upon awareness of secret aggression, come upon discernment of purpose within an animal shape, third experience death. From there the nascient god must find his own way back to life, if he can. Schroedinger's cat approach? Now so far our core character in this book discovers an alien tribe where something is amiss, secret aggression is then discovered. Then he finds these natives to be somewhat of the bluefurred chimpanzee like sort, discernment of purpose within an animal shape, these little buggers kidnappd the crew of a crashed starship and are using these humans as slaves. What comes next for Orne, the protagonist, is not a pretty thought. Especially as his new co-workers know about the process for GodMaking, and seem to be sending him on alot of risky missions.&lt;</p>

&gt;Now I know this seems like a Bias, as I excluded DC, but this is because DC comics sucks, except for Batman, LOBO and TeenTitans, lol, and maybe a few standout others. Also this link will portal you into a whole other category of extraterrestrial fun. Read on, reply.&lt;</p>

Duddits was played by Jeff Daniels, the Shweasels were animatronic, the insane crazy commander whoever, Christopher Walken, the four hunters Dan Akroyd &amp; Dana Carvey &amp; Michel Myers &amp; Jack Black, the army guy who winds up being a decent dude Ernie Hudson. They never mentioned much of a race for any of these guys so I assumed the majority were caucasoids. Tell me outta sick curiousity I'm having, did they show all the farting and fecating and all the gastronomy the book was dwelling on?&lt;</p>

the film is worth it just for morgan freeman...<br />

Flush that, ugh. Mr. Fartiepants. That'd be that guy the found out in the woods, the one that the main character regrets not accidentally killing for most of the rest of the story.&lt;</p>

Warning the cover of the book is may seem a little homogenous for some, as it shows a nude male of exceptional physical stature emerging from an energy bank reminiscent of The Terminator's bodybanks. So you have advanced human visiting more prmitive colonized human. A different take for sure.&lt;</p>

It drags on through theopolitical society analogies, and flashbacks to a weird and boring childhood for the main character, you can sense that the story desperately wants you to admire and give a damn about the characters, but they just keep falling short of worth reading. Hey psionik, I DO NOW HAVE DREAMCATCHERS ON DVD! Only names that ring a bell for me so far is Jonesy, Henry, Pete, Beaver, Horrific Entity, Duddits, Stephen King, Morgan Freeman \&quot;RobinHood\&quot;, Thomas Jane \&quot;Punisher?\&quot;, Jason Lee \&quot;Tarzan?\&quot;, Tom Sizemore \&quot;Definitely sounds like someone we've heard of somewhere before.\&quot;, Donnie Wahlberg \&quot;New Kind On The Block, omfgd, now it's a comedy?\&quot;, Industrial Light and Magic, Warner Bros, Microsoft with special appearance by PSioniKman, ok jk heheh. Will be watching it soon, will let ya know what I thought of it.&lt;</p>

also i hear they are making the avengers fim, you know thor ironman etc...also an ironman film starring robert downey Jr. he should know how to play a drunk billionaire..<br />

There is a thread for the 2007 transformers movie, takes some looking but the looking is part of the fun. There's a kind of thread for comic book news, and amen to robert downey type cast, lol. <br />
What major difference I noticed about the book and movie Dreamcatchers was in the book the Greys are just innocent infected aliens with the birus as a parasite, the movie shows the birus, the shweasels and the full grown grey variants as all one species in different stages of development. Morgan Freeman does ok as a bad guy, but I didn't make it through the movie as I was imbibing a bit much in the red energon and resting my optics too much induced CR Lock, had to call it off and retire to the recharge chamber, will continue the mission tonight.&lt;</p>

In fact in the book poor little Dudds seems to just die sitting in the truck cradled by his best buddy Henry. The poor retarded guy had cancer and luekemia and if he was an alien all along why go and succumb to the poor tragic ending? This and his mother didn't give him up that easily, it wasn't a I always Knew Duddsies was gonna save the world, have fun boys! It was at least a ten page debate. It took alot more doing. But nonetheless, apples and oranges, what you essentially have is two different tellings of the same basic story, the intricate drawnout book form and the glitzy flashy hollywood form.&lt;</p>

The Banned Histories<br />
Vehicles and Planets<br />
Astro-Cartography<br />
Sometime in the future...<br />
Welcome to the most expansive timeline of the Alien films available. It is based on the four 20th Century Fox films: Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, and Alien Resurrection, their respective novelisations, and film production information from a variety of sources. <br />
It also includes some references from the Colonial Marines Technical Manual by Lee Brimmicombe-Wood.<br />
The events concerning the Nostromo's landing on LV-426 take place in the period 2063-2123. The events concerning the infestation and subsequent destruction of Hadley's Hope and the Alien infestation of Fiorina 161 take place in the period 2127-2179. The events surrounding the destruction of the USM Auriga occur in the period 2325-2381. The Vehicles and Planets section contains information about the starships, ground vehicles, LV-426 and Fiorina 161. Astro-Cartography contains a maps based on the films. Due to Alien vs. Predators dubious canon status it has been included (for completeness) in a seperate area of The Banned Histories.<br />
Novels and Comics<br />
For the main timeline I've chosen to ignore the comics released by Dark Horse and the novels based on them. <br />
This is because they directly contradict the films (and themselves on occasion). Dark Horse released some a number of comics from 1988 onwards that followed the adventures of Newt and Hicks (and later Ripley) 10 years after the events that occurred in Aliens. <br />
When Newt, Hicks and Ripley were killed in Alien 3, reprints of the comic and book series changed the names to Billie and Wilks, and Ripley was made into an android. Many more comics and books followed. However in Alien Resurrection, General Perez points out that Ripley had effectively wiped the Aliens out when she killed the Queen Chestburster on Fiorina 161. Wren also says in reference to the Aliens; <br />
\&quot;Nothing like this we've ever seen on any world before.\&quot; Therefore none of the events described in the comics and books can have happened as they are described. Novel and comic related material plus items from PC games can be found in The Banned Histories. The Aliens Role Playing Game has not been ignored, but provides no additional chronological information, and therefore has not been referenced.<br />
The Predator films are briefly covered in the seperate Banned Histories section <br />
&gt;These aliens those H.R.Giger biomechanimal xenomorphs, will hatch from a football sized egg, break out of it, scuttle along the floor, leap at your face and impregnate you without even asking your name, and the little deadbeat dad will die fall off your face, leaving you feeling almost normal until you get a bit ill, morning sickness and give birth to one of the ultimate carnivores, right out the front of your torso! Where I presume you humans do not have a suitable birthing orifice, threfore resulting in death or severe dismemberment at best. And you thought (insert opposite gender, plural form) were evil!&lt;</p>
<div class="sig">&gt;Til All are One.&lt;</div>&quot;
&quot;20&quot;;&quot;4&quot;;&quot;<p>&gt;And finally, this one's for AgraJag, because I got curious and looked up the name, and because well, I had this one up and posted anyways, the movie having me propelled back into the book. Funny things an Improbability Drive does to events lol.&lt; </p>

<p>Extraterrestrials!&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;The HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy!</p>

<p>From:&nbsp;AluminusKann &nbsp;&nbsp;4/19/2005 1:51 pm&nbsp;To:&nbsp;ALL &nbsp;(1 of 9)&nbsp;&nbsp;570.1&nbsp;&gt;I'm starting this thread here, where I feel it belongs, in space, with aliens, yes, indeed!&lt; <br />
Humorous Quotes from Douglas Adams' <br />
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy <br />
Mr. L. Prosser was, as they say, only human. In other words he was a carbon-based bipedal life form descended from an ape. <br />
Time is an illusion. Lunch time doubly so. <br />
The best way to get a drink out of a Vogon is to stick your finger down his throat. <br />
Charming man, I wish I had a daughter so I could forbid her to marry . . . <br />
It's unpleasantly like being drunk.<br />
'What's so unpleasant about being drunk?'<br />
'You ask a glass of water.' <br />
Prostetnic Bogon Jeltz smiled very slowly. This was done not so much for effect as because he was trying to remember the sequence of muscle movements. <br />
I don't want to die now! I've still got a headache! I don't want to go to heaven with a headache, I'd be all cross and wouldn't enjoy it! <br />
Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mindbogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space. <br />
Life, loathe it or ignore it, you can't like it. <br />
Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much – the wheel, New York, wars and so on – whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man – for precisely the same reasons. <br />
The Answer to the Great Question . . . of Life, the Universe and Everything . . . Is . . . Forty-two. <br />
'Do you want me to kick you?' said Ford.<br />
'Would it give you a lot of pleasure?' said Zaphod, blearily.<br />
'No.'<br />
'Nor me. So what's the point? <br />
'That's it,' said Zaphod with the sort of grin that would get most people locked away in a room with soft walls. <br />
I'd far rather be happy than right any day. <br />
&gt;I am going to see the Movie, I do Pian to, I also plan to re-read the book itself to assimilate enough info to be annoying at the film's showing! \&quot;Ah ah ah that aint right, no that didnt happen!\&quot; lol. Sometimes I believe your planet reserves the right for some to be annoying while others frown, turn away, and all simply to have something/someone to appear saner/better/more normal than. Normal seems very important to humans. Such a pity, the opposite is not to be missed out on in your short lifespans.&lt;<br />
 \&quot;Still Turning Eng-a-lish turning eng-a-lish, I still think so!\&quot;</p>

But the whale scene was well done, and some things were added to it I think. I'd have t re-read the book to be sure, but was there ever a Point-Of-View gun? And was Trillian really all that broken up about losing earth? <br />
The tall english gent who played Slarty Bartfast als played Victor, the vampire ancient in Underworld. From Blood to Fjords. Zaphod, sam rockwell was in space before on Galaxy Quest as that weasely security officer. Alan Rickman kicked aspects as Marvin, there was few better choices that I cannot think of at the mo for that role. Mos Def, I wouldnt know him from an Ice Dogg Cube Wordup Cents a G Dr. but as Ford, he was prefect, lol. <br />
It's a \&quot;go-see\&quot; movie. If you wanna laugh as your brain's tickled to an americanized version of the wry english headtrip cult classic, that's the one. Now they have to bring back RED DWARF or I'm gonna... throw a fit and cry like ... a baby.&lt; <br />
&gt;Note: Keep an ear out for the classic theme played somewhere in there, it'll revive old sensory input in a decidedly positive way.&lt;</p>

&lt;Maybe not, I heard one idiot say \&quot;A Towel? But there's no water in space.\&quot; I don't... think he was... one of us...&gt; <br />
Now I gotta dig out the audio version of it, they did a radio cut of the whole show with the original cast and music some time ago and I'm hankerin' for a listenin'.&lt;</p>

&gt;Just had time for reading the first link, and the term for sleep paralysis phenomena I think was called a \&quot;Hypnopompic\&quot; Experience, and another theory involving abduction as #### to infant memory of being born. Think of it, tall thin people, dressed in white, strange metal instruments all around, buzzing rumbling language, and a giant jabba the hutt alien with bad hair picks ya up and spanks you. That is when it begins to become apparent.&lt;<br />
&gt;Expect very little of the 'Phorms for awhile, scheduling director at work just took another hit of crack and decided the scheduling folder is a coloring book, we're all over the place and alot. I love my life, Life? Don't talk to me about life.&lt;</p>

<p>Extraterrestrials!&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;REAL Spaceships!</p>

<p>From:&nbsp;gecho &nbsp;12/30/2004 4:09 pm&nbsp;To:&nbsp;ALL &nbsp;(1 of 16)&nbsp;&nbsp;475.1&nbsp;i have/had a copy of this book. the author is David Hamel, a man from northern Ontario, who claims to have been abducted by aliens which told him how to make these spaceships that really fly!  <br />
 Book Description (from the publisher)<br />
I would like to recommend the reading of this book to anyone starting serious research into the anti-gravitational technology introduced by David Hamel. It reveals to the reader why this information was made available to Mr. Hamel and the spirit with which he has pursued his dream. <br />
Based on David Hamel's life this book chronicles both the emotional and technical struggles David encountered in developing his prototypes of the GMD (Gravito-Magentic Device). A candid account of the life of a simple man with an extraordinary mission. * Also included is an appendix on Canadian engineer Wilbert Smith. Mr. Smith was one of the first engineers to work with the government in researching unusual properties within magnetic fields. <br />
The granite man and the butterfly chronicles the life of a simple man who was chosen for a heroic task. David was given advanced information enabling him to build a spacecraft that would provide an abundant source of non-polluting energy. This book chronicles the frustration and enormous obstacles that he faced, from non-believers to government officials. This story details his progress from the past to the present, on this amazing mission and the effort being made to realize his goal. <br />
This information came from The Laura Lee Show: Conversation for Exploration. <br />

<p>From:&nbsp;gecho &nbsp;12/30/2004 4:23 pm&nbsp;To:&nbsp;ALL &nbsp;(2 of 16)&nbsp;&nbsp;475.2 in reply to 475.1&nbsp;\&quot;One of the most incredible discoveries in our time has been unheralded and is only known to a small group of people who study such matters. It pertains to the closest duplication of UFO flight characteristics and power sources that I have seen in many years of studies in attempts to ascertain how to duplicate them for practical use.\&quot;&nbsp;</p>

<p>From:&nbsp;gecho &nbsp;12/30/2004 4:25 pm&nbsp;To:&nbsp;ALL &nbsp;(3 of 16)&nbsp;&nbsp;475.3 in reply to 475.1&nbsp;The principal players in this story; <br />
David Hamel - inventor and contactee who built several magnetically self-driven devices which produced phenomena ranging from energy production to flight <br />
Pierre Sinclaire - private researcher, businessman, co-author and investigator who first met and worked with Hamel to verify and try to duplicate the phenomena through Project Magnet. <br />
Jeanne Manning - writer and author specializing in the coverage of activities relating to new energy researchers and their discoveries&nbsp;</p>

<p>From:&nbsp;gecho &nbsp;12/30/2004 4:26 pm&nbsp;To:&nbsp;ALL &nbsp;(4 of 16)&nbsp;&nbsp;475.4 in reply to 475.2&nbsp;Inspiration - where the idea came from<br />
While watching television with his wife and housekeeper, David Hamel experienced a sort of 'waking trance' in which he was mentally transported to an alien ship. (The book gives a more detailed description of other observations, but for our purposes, we will stick to the magnetic drive technology.) Noticing a vibration within the ship, Hamel asked what caused it. The ship was constructed around two large cones, with the wide ends on the bottom. One cone was supported on the top of the other and suspended by magnets and pinions.</p>

<p>From:&nbsp;gecho &nbsp;12/30/2004 4:28 pm&nbsp;To:&nbsp;ALL &nbsp;(5 of 16)&nbsp;&nbsp;475.5 in reply to 475.4&nbsp;Basic Explanation of the principle <br />
A tornado-like rushing of air moved up through the ship to produce a tremendous friction. The cone within cone wobbled at high speed and was kept continuously off-balance. As the cones wobbled and the air rushed between them, lightning-like flashes appeared between them. Hamel was shown the outside rim of the ship, where numerous openings served to allow the in and out motion of the air as it rushed between the wobbling cones. These air openings controlled not only the amount of air but the direction of flow. As the air was moved at high velocities through the gap between the wobbling cones, it became ionized to produce a stream of charged particles. The cones not only produced energy but also provided propulsion. This was accomplished by a small weighted ball, rolling in circular path in a restricted space. The circular movement of this ball appeared to have a falling motion, always seeking equilibrium. The upper area of the cones were suspended on magnetic parts which were kept unbalanced to sustain the disruption of equilibrium to produce the wobbling effect. <br />
Imagine a horizontal disk, suspended on point, forever falling or tilting sideways as a metal ball rolled forward on its rim. This produced the graceful fluttering effect which Hamel likened to 'a butterfly above a magnetic field.' The magnets would not wear out because they were suspended on a magnetic field. Movement of the cones produced an electro-gravitational field to cause the ship to lose its connection with gravity, thereby neutralizing its 'weight'. Movement of the ship could be controlled by pulling the ball out of rotation. Hamel was given the term 'weight into speed' to help remember what he was being shown. The aliens informed Hamel they had given this technology to our ancestors many times over history and we would find evidences of it as historical artifacts and in legends. Hamel was also told we used energy technology which produced heat as it dissipated the energy. The natural way was to produce cooling by use of implosion forces, rather than explosion.</p>

<p>From:&nbsp;gecho &nbsp;12/30/2004 4:29 pm&nbsp;To:&nbsp;ALL &nbsp;(6 of 16)&nbsp;&nbsp;475.6 in reply to 475.5&nbsp;Initial experiment<br />
Eventually, after much thought, consideration and research, Hamel decided to try to duplicate the cone within cone system. Using bicycle rims as the base support for his aluminum sided cones, magnets were held onto the sides with electrical tape. When the magnets were taped just right, they produced a rejection force. A 45 gallon steel barrel was lined with magnets on the inside to create a magnetic suspension zone. The cone within cone arrangement was placed inside this barrel. Once everything was aligned, Hamel screwed down the cover of the barrel. The cones were floating on a repelling magnetic field produced by the magnets on the lower rim of the cones. When a larger magnet was pressed down onto the top cone, a tumbling motion was created which caused the floating cones to wobble in a circular motion, in a constrained path, at an ever increasing speed. At a certain speed, the vibration stabilized, much like the smooth rotation of a properly balanced, rotating tire on your car. <br />
Shortly after closing the barrel and due to the lateness of the hour, Hamel and his wife went to bed. Within a brief period, they were awakened by a loud bang, followed the dull red glow of what appeared to be a fire from the room with the barrel. On investigation, Hamel found the barrel had exploded into pieces strewn all over the room. (Pierre told me the barrel had IMPLODED because the barrel was caved in. This fits with the implosion theory and the idea that magnetic energy ATTRACTS TO itself while electricity REPELS FROM itself.) Further experiments with the suspended cones produced unusual energy effects such as scrambling television reception, fogging photographic film or causing double exposures when a photo was attempted.</p>

<p>From:&nbsp;gecho &nbsp;12/30/2004 4:31 pm&nbsp;To:&nbsp;ALL &nbsp;(7 of 16)&nbsp;&nbsp;475.7 in reply to 475.6&nbsp;Most Advanced Experiment<br />
The next major step, after many smaller experiments, involved the construction of a saucer shaped cone within cone mechanism which was 7 feet, 3 inches in diameter, with a height of 3.5 feet. It was situated on a platform reached by a 16 foot ladder. At 11PM one evening, Hamel screwed down the garbage can lid that compressed the top magnet to make the cones wobble. He noticed a glow and a sudden wind being sucked into the craft. Fearing for what would happen next, Hamel climbed down the ladder and removed it for safety. His wife yelled that the TV set had gone out again, followed by a power failure that had plunged the neighborhood into darkness. Hamel ran into the now dark house to get his Brownie camera and as he reached the door on his way back outside, the craft was glowing red and changing to green as it rose off the suspended platform. As it continued to rise, the color went to blue, then bright white as it shot off up into the air and out towards space. Hamel managed to get 12 photographs as the craft rose, though the most spectacular are in a series of five.</p>

Pierre Sinclair has vowed to build a working model and secure a patent in David Hamels' name. Both feel this technology is critical to the survival of humankind on our world as indicated by Hamel's contact with the aliens.</p>

<p>From:&nbsp;gecho &nbsp;12/30/2004 4:33 pm&nbsp;To:&nbsp;ALL &nbsp;(9 of 16)&nbsp;&nbsp;475.9 in reply to 475.8&nbsp;Why Project Magnet is so important<br />
Hamel was told, \&quot;In twenty more years everything on earth will be devastated. It's the magnetic that will change. I was told that when the lineup of the planets and THE SECOND SUN passes for three days and three nights in front of our sun and blacks it out, the magnetic will change. Between the years 2000 and 2005.\&quot; There is no question our technology has far outstripped our responsible use of energy and environmental resources. Project Magnet will provide a new energy resource as well as a radical new means of flight. For those who study such matters, this is the same principle claimed by John Searl yet achieved in quite a different manner. Where Searl uses rotating magnetic rings, Hamel uses compression of magnetic energy in a constrained environment to produce the ionizing effect coincident to energy accumulation and flight.</p>

Not that these blueprints look like model kit assembly instructions, lol, but the point there is that the parts internally were very basic looking. The drive of the ship was a spinning magnetic generator of some sort, that could generate waves in any direction to propel itself. <br />
The problem I have with this theory? <br />
When was the last time you stuck yourself to a fridge, when was the last time you watched a magnet fly straight up, and when was the last time the earth attracted iron any stronger than an elephant of the same weight? What is there for the magnets to counteract? Maglev trains need a metal surface to float above, but dirt is not magnetic. <br />
Wait, this earth place has an iron core to it, molten metal to be exact, these'd have to be very precise magnetic wavelengths to fly in an smooth direction. Who knows, I won't rule out anything, but I will so totally attempt to stick an elephant to my fridge now. I just need a very very very large thumbtack, er, magnet!&lt;</p>

hehehe, I was thinking of posting the link of Psionik with Glowing Eyes :, but decided against it. <br />
I read up a little on the Vimana and it opened my mind to the possibility of Terrestrial flying objects, Lost civlisations., <br />
As for Rishies, I was'nt really clear on that. Are they the descendants of the denizens of those lost Rama cities? Or better yet I have a link for y'all to see....on the \&quot;Glimmers\&quot;! brb&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <br />

Shape Shifters ~ Shimmers <br />
SHIMMERS <br />
Shimmers, for want of a better term, describe an unusual change whereby a person can be seen to transform into an alien or other creature. The term is becoming more used these days by UFO and Paranormal researchers as the old term, known as a Transfiguration. <br />
The disturbing thing for some people who experience the Shimmer effect is that sometimes they do know that they have appeared briefly as an alien and do not claim or admit to being aliens. <br />
The effect seems external and not something the person can identify with. <br />
In other cases however there have been reported Shimmers by people who do indeed claim to be aliens as we shall hear later. For some people the resultant effect of seeing such a transformation can be the undeniable proof they require of the subject of UFO's. <br />
{Bloodgeon!} <br />
Shimmers, I meant, Duuuh. So. Well. Whaddya think, is this sort of related? <br />

'rum-iron' and meaning 'Rama's travels', this is a 4000 year old Hindu epic story which projects the Hindu ideas of life. <br />
This Hindu scripture of 24000 verses divided into 6 books was composed by Sage Valmiki. <br />
The essential message of the Ramayana is that of Dharma.This, considered the essential purpose of life by many millions of Hindus, is sacrifice of freedom for the sake of duty or honour. <br />
Divine birth <br />
Emperor Dasaratha, the ruler of Koshala, did not have a child so a ceremony called Asvamedha was undertaken to fulfil his desire to have an heir. A brilliant red-robbed figure appeared from the sacrificial fire and gave a golden bowl with magical food to the Emperor. Dasaratha divided up the bowl's contents amongst his three wives and all three wives became pregnant and the Emperor became the father of four sons the following spring. The Emperor's first wife, Queen Kausalya, gave birth to Rama. The next day Bharata was born to the youngest queen, Kailkeyi, and Queen Sumitra gave birth to twins, Lakshmana and Satrughna. &copy; <br />

<p>Extraterrestrials!&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;Who says Know?</p>

<p>From:&nbsp;Mulsknr1 &nbsp;7/25/2005 10:36 am&nbsp;To:&nbsp;ALL &nbsp;(1 of 13)&nbsp;&nbsp;710.1&nbsp;I was watching a show about Nasa's Plan to collect and deliver a sample of the soil from MArs. It will consist of a cannon ball size sample, which many believe will contain microbial evidence , if not living organisms, from the soil. This is a topic of debate since It is feared by many that We are incompotant boobs who cannot maintain a secure and sanitary kitchen in our own homes, let alone a virus from another planet, A doomsday Virus. I guess my question is Are we bound to kill ourselves in our quest for understanding? Who is qualified to keep us from making a bad desecion? Just becuase we can go to outer space, why should we? just becuase we can build nuclear weapons, does that give everyone the same right to endanger life as we know it. Who says No? Who decides its not worth the risk? I am afraid to think that it is only money that keeps us from killing ourselves, or the lack of it. Maybe we should spend the money on this planet first not mars. Solve some annoying problems like hunger. <br />
I haven't researched this, Although I have not heard him say it, this guy thinks we should not bring any foreign matter back to earth. <br />

My concern is anything from a theorhetically possibly pre-inhanbitated planet coming here. That'd be like taking along accidentaly a disease that killed all of Mankind off to planet Omicron Persei 8 to be studied carelessly. &lt;Fans of ... that one show will recognize the planet reference&gt; I say study it, sure, under quarantine. <br />
And how about those out there in space right now? If Space Shuttles were Cars, per accident ratio, they'd be recalled by now right?&lt;</p>

<p>\&quot;Chevy/Ford announces Recall of their Shuttles, introduces Space Shuttle Convertible.\&quot; </p>

Is it my imagination or are there more engineering problems with the space shuttle, now (Its no suprize actually)than there were 20 years ago? Is it becuase the enineers are not of the calibur of the guys who put men on the moon? or have they figured out, how much money they can raise with a a few broken tiles and a fuel guage. So, Now they are stuck in space, until someone can get them a ladder, or Unill they can build a new space shuttle? All I know is it has to be dramatic. That is always for sure.&nbsp;</p>

Get someone out on a spacewalk, replace the tile, and bingo. All better. There's something at work behind the scenes during this last half century's worth of weirdness. Something that likes explosions, drama, money, etc.&lt;</p>

Whats the big deal anyway, you can't tell me they didn't have plenty of duct tape and wire ties on hand up there. How much more prepared can you get than that?&nbsp;</p>

I'd think it would be quite a simple matter for them to replace one missing tile on the hull, but I guess not. <br />
Something's going very wrong in human history events lately, the last 50 years anyways, lol.&lt;</p>

I'd ask the holograms I see walking the streets of this simulated city about that, but I think their datafiles don't contain any such kinda of nonlinear speculation. We're in the matrix, aghk! I have a few stupid questions to ask, maybe I'm the only one who doesnt know but.., Who is the National Debt owed to? Deficit, all that. Why can 72 million, billion? be spent on a rocket that can travel around Mars scanning the surface for microscopic life etc, but we can't find Osama? Why does everything Saddam Hussein do in jail make headline news? Saddam writes bad poetry, Saddam likes Doritos, Saddam sneezed and scratched his butt once, Saddam dreams of Gogo dancers. Surely we all can do more than be outraged, actions to speak louder. No matter how little sense they make, Dubya, at least they aint yer speechez lol.&lt; </p>

I didn't really look it up just a guess.&nbsp; maybe we didn't really win world war two? maybe it was all a tv show. I forget.&nbsp;I wasn't there.</p>

From:&nbsp;Mulsknr1 &nbsp;8/14/2005 7:11 am&nbsp;To:&nbsp;AluminusKann &nbsp;(12 of 13)&nbsp;&nbsp;710.12 in reply to 710.11&nbsp;There is a link on that page from your link, &nbsp;http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8706569/&nbsp;that goes right to the issue, about spacship cleaning and transfering microbes.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;I know its a reach to expect that We should assume Nasa is concerned about Earth. The idea of proving that life exists, and all of the fundraising good it will do. Far exceeds and out shadows the actual life itself. So when I ask, What about the microbes we have transfered to Mars? Does anybody give a rats ass about that. Probably not. I bet it never enters the equation either. It will be just like the environmental problem here on earth. Eventually someone wil see the damage being done , and they will fight to reverse the infrastructure that will already be in place. Of course , I am not so sure going to mars or other planets is such a vital issue. Sure its interesting, but its kinda like spending a hundred dollars on tickets&nbsp; to see Kenny Chesney, when your 1 year old is out of diapers and formula. there are too many urgent problems on earth. So , Since they insist on saying that we have a bad economy and that unemployment is up, while banks make money hand over fist.&nbsp;I am going to insist we have other priorities. Unless they are building homeless shelters on mars and creating a shuttle system for them to get back and forth to work. I will maintain.&nbsp;I&nbsp;think its a bad idea.</p>

Why branch out? My thoughts on our microbes getting there, they'd probably die out in the intense heat, not having the tolerance or rapid adaption needed to sustain existence there, and I hope that works in versa for whatever is brought to earth. Good point on the feeding the hungry, how come we never see those charitable christian fogies walking around in commercials Carrying some poor kid growing up rough in New York?? How about adopting with monthly dues a child who desperately needs our help to eat and go to a school in Ohio?&lt;<br />

&quot;23&quot;;&quot;3&quot;;&quot;<p>Extraterrestrials!&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;Scoop Marks</p>

<p>From:&nbsp;PSioniKman &nbsp;9/24/2006 9:26 am&nbsp;To:&nbsp;ALL &nbsp;(1 of 4)&nbsp;&nbsp;971.1&nbsp;So i have a pretty weird connection with the race that has become generally known as the Grays.<br />
Missing time<br />
Strange Marks on the body<br />
and even the odd encounter in real time with all faculties functioning. ( ask me for details)<br />
well, i keep getting the same scab on my right shin bone, it looks like and indentation. Im sure i havent banged it, im sure i havent done it myself. yet every so often it appears.<br />
Looking on the net i have come across the term \&quot; Scoop Mark \&quot; denoting a sample of tissue taken. Could this be what it is? or is it more sinister..maybe an organic tracking device implanted? <br />
lots of maybe's and trust me im a sceptic about all things, unless i experience them myself, and even then i know enough about behaviour modification programs to knpw that the mind can be easily fooled.<br />
So...has anyone else have any similar experiences??<br />

<p>From:&nbsp;AluminusKann &nbsp;&nbsp;9/25/2006 12:05 am&nbsp;To:&nbsp;PSioniKman &nbsp;(2 of 4)&nbsp;&nbsp;971.2 in reply to 971.1&nbsp;&gt;Well I'm gonna go out on a limb, great movie btw, and say the signs you can look for are rashes, sickness of some kind, and get Xrays. What you're looking for are small metallic shapes like thin silver rods, beebee pellet sized gold or silver orbs, or other inorganic matter that gets found in abductees and the experimented upon. But for the mundane letdown explanation all I can offer so far is your sleeping habits might be having you moving your leg into a sharp object, say a bedspring or something else on in or near your restingplace that could be gouging you nightly. Cover up any and all of that, move it, remove it, so you can rule out all of that. Grays are notorious experimentors, horrible bedside manner and totally lacking in tact and courtesy. Intellectual Superiority will do that to any entity, except me, only lower life form based primordial peons would think that of yours royally, lol. But maybe you could get a voice activated recorder, a motion activated light, and hope they can't fiddle with those affecting actual potential discoveries.&lt;</p>

<p>From:&nbsp;PSioniKman &nbsp;9/25/2006 3:43 am&nbsp;To:&nbsp;AluminusKann &nbsp;(3 of 4)&nbsp;&nbsp;971.3 in reply to 971.2&nbsp;Thanks for the suggestions, the mark on my shin and the consequtive scabs have been coming and going since i was about 14, maybe earlier but i really starting noticing when i was around that age. Buying motion sensors and equipment would be a great idea, i may set up a camera and just record the night hours in my bedroom.<br />
of course i have to always think it could be something natural, like you said a bedspring, but its a new bed. What i mean to say is that i am open to the possibility of a natural occurence.<br />
im not sure where to go to get an xray, as here in the UK we have a government run hospital system...i cant just go and ask for an xray.<br />
ill keep you all posted on what i find..<br />

<p>From:&nbsp;AluminusKann &nbsp;&nbsp;9/25/2006 1:41 pm&nbsp;To:&nbsp;PSioniKman &nbsp;(4 of 4)&nbsp;&nbsp;971.4 in reply to 971.3&nbsp;&gt;Lo cost detection equipment, a compass, as stuff like this plays bloody hell on the electromagnetic fields. Maybe a string tied on windows and doors for those still using physical entry as opposed to beaming or phasing. All else I can suggest at this time, would be allergies, hives, spider bite, or pesky alien flesh samplers, they don't have sprays or repellents for those yet. And Whitley Streiber is fuming at me for making light of this, lol.&lt;</p>
 
<p>&gt;Reference the word Biopsy, that spherical scoop mark stuff would be a form of tissue gathering. But then again a some spider bites, if already swollen up and then popped will have a hollow dried out center. It's not in my programming to call Psi a Liar on this, but ya gotta rule out mundane causes first, the truth can't be diluted with the fantastic, or else the truth won't be Really fantastic. For instance I've been observing a UFO for a week now, around between 2 - 4 am, a steady lighted object has been hanging somewhere in the sky just over the mountains, it appears to move slightly, dim and light up again. It's not a planet, it's still there when the skies lighten up and all the stars are gone. My current guess though, it's a Helicopter, some training for piloting those things has students going up and hovering for half hour long periods. This will need to be verified of course, but that's investigation for ya.&lt;</p>

<p>&gt;Note Correction: It's Richard C. Hoagland (sp?) of <a href="http://Www.EnterpriseMission.Com">Www.EnterpriseMission.Com</a> (sp?) faulty datatracks I say but then again consider the source lol Me. He's also a firm backer of structures and other stuff NASA denies found on The Moon. Dubious credibility, just because something's denied, doesn't mean it's there. The old saying is \&quot;The Absence Of Evidence is Not the Evidence of Absence\&quot;. My saying Here'd be \&quot;The Absence of Evidence sometimes does support that there truly is a lack of Evidence.\&quot; Sure NASA &amp; the USA probably lie and twist and evade some, but sometimes nothing is nothing.&lt;</p>

\&quot;Bloodgeon charged forth driven mad by boredom, his arms swung wide to smash mailboxes and streetlights as he barrelled past. He roared out once, twice, snapping the necks of the humans he fed off of. He preyed on other weaker vampires as well, you sit still in this game, your fount is mine, he thought. He straighted both his arms out, claws forming fists, and ran through a house wall like a fanged battering ram, and lo and behold a startled family, fallen off their furniture swamped in the stink of fear but spiced with the aroma of life. Bloodgeon held them all in place, dinner was served.\&quot;</p>

Vampires<br />
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.<br />
Count Chocula: Vampire Extraordinaire<br />
Mwa ha ha ha ha!<br />
This article wants to drink you blood! Vampires, or hemophiles as they prefer to call themselves, are pasty faced individuals who often exude a distinct smell of Onions. Despite mostly dwelling in \&quot;various damp places under the stove\&quot; they may also be found to congregate in cattle sheds where they dance happily to olde worlde organe musick (tm). It is also well-known that all vampires are neo-liberal conspiracy theorists. All of them, we swear! <br />
The most famous vampire of all was Hengist O'Lanfald who once managed to eat 6 steak and kidney puddings in a single sitting. After this feat of endurance he was soundly spanked by his father and forced to spend the rest of the evening crouching in a box of turnips. According to Gothics, Vampires are sweet, and they wouldn't hurt a fly, in Gothic eyes Vampires are the perfect beings, this might explain their constant moaning and Angst. <br />
Weaknesses<br />
Vampires are quite prone to some rather common household implements and foods. <br />
Weakness the first: potato chips. <br />
Vampires are absolute gluttons, and so it may come as no surprise that potato chips are one of their greatest vices. They are prone to eating bags upon bags of them, rendering them incapable of movement. You will always be safe from a Vampire if you carry close to 30 bags of potato chips around with you at all times. Potato chips weigh next to nothing, so this is entirely feasible. <br />
Weakness B: Ceramic plates. <br />
Vampires are also strangely affected by plates. However, it is not the plates themselves, but rather the smashing of the plates that causes the Vampire intense mental pain. A Vampire likes the natural order of things and Ceramic plates are the epitome of balance. Breaking a plate causes a rift in the space-time continuum that affects a Vampire's heart and soul. <br />
Weakness III: Killer whale. <br />
Vampires are much more powerful than human beings, but cannot really touch the might of the killer whale. <br />
An effective but underused technique for defeating Vampires is to lure them into the vicinity of a hungry killer whale, possibly on a whale-watching boat or by interesting the undead fiend in marine biology. <br />
Weakness &pi;: The Unwritten Rule <br />
This is always useful to keep in mind when combatting Vampires, as it is what they fear most. If there is anything you should know about Vampires, it is this. <br />
Weakness å››: Artists <br />
Because pencils can be used as stakes and artists usually have lots of them in stock, vampires only get near them in large numbers. <br />
Weakness Omega: they do not exist. <br />
Vampires do not actually exist. This gives them an important weakness in combat. If however they are helped by the presence of enough pineapples, they are formidable foes nonetheless. <br />
Weakness to the power n: Stones <br />
As it is commonly known, you cannot get blood out of a stone. <br />
Unfortunately many vampires have died trying. They are rather stubborn and this is also one of their downfalls. <br />
Weakness 12534243: Dr. Phil <br />
Vampires can remain bloodthirsty by being angsty prats. However, Dr. Phil threatens to solve their emotional problems and render them powerless. It is best to take Dr. Phil and the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy cast with you everywhere. <br />

Hexenkessel<br />
In the darkness of the city, one is confronted with the worn walls of an ancient but sturdy structure predating even the witchhunts, cast into an aura of withdrawn yet vibrant dark magic. It lies upon the walls like a hissy whisper, crisp and radiant in its presence, basking in its own ambiguity as it seems to describe itself best if translated to four words: 'You are not alone', a sensation that would strike unease into most.<br />
The more sensitive will perhaps catch faint lines of power snaking through the streets here, with the castle on a crossing of three main lines, lines which sport a certain symmetry, resonating with each other. The numerologist will no doubt find other things of note about this location...<br />
The castle is spaceous, but not sprawling - it seems to wish to make itself scarce, much unlike the pompous structures one might find elsewhere which are little else than advertising signs.<br />
There is no visible means to enter.<br />
...clearly, one is not welcome here.<br />
{Think it was either on jackal and 83rd streets, or Juniper and 84th, for you numerology people, but it matters not, I've long since moved past and away from it, it gave me the psuedocreeps.}<br />

John Michell - UFOs have their funny side People say to me, \&quot;You must receive a lot of mad letters from readers about their UFO experiences.\&quot; Actually, no. Of all the letters you have sent me, not one has been from a mad person. I have read all kinds of amazing stories. They are sincere, honest accounts of things that people have seen and cannot explain. I cannot explain them either. But I have learnt much from reading about them. One thing is that you should be careful who you talk to. If you tell your friends that you have seen a UFO, they usually laugh and say you are crazy. <br />
That happened to Bob Cowe during a mass sighting of UFOs over Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire. He and others saw a 'large, saucer-shaped object with shimmering lights round the edge'. He told the local police about it, but they just laughed. <br />
The police made a joke of him. When they questioned some youths, who said they were just gazing at the night sky, they said, 'Don't give us that Bob Cowe stuff!' <br />
Months later Bob was called out to see a glowing UFO overhead. He went straight to the police station and reported it. 'Not you again,' they said. 'But it is right over your station,' said Bob. He took them outside, and they all saw a huge, white UFO with a cross over it. I had a good laugh from this story. UFOs are a serious phenomenon, but they have their funny side. Humour is part of our natural world, and if UFOs display it, I am sure they are on the side of humanity. THURSDAY October 30 <br />
John Michell - UFOs and alien contacts <br />
It was 35 years ago when I met for the first time someone who had been abducted by aliens. He was Ivor Brown, then aged 18, from Northern Ireland. On his way to a dance one night, he was approached by two females, beautiful but not human. Nearby was their spacecraft. They took him into it and showed him things that he did not afterwards talk about. Then they released him and he went home. An erotic fantasy, you might say. But after this experience, Ivor was totally changed, and so was his family. They kept seeing UFOs and felt in communication with them. Ivor developed psychic powers. His interests widened and he felt he had been woken up to life. <br />
Since then I have heard many similar stories. But sometimes they are not so happy. I have met young people who were abused by aliens. It was painful and they dreaded it. Sometimes it was still going on. How would you deal with that? By prayer is my answer. Those creatures are not intelligent beings but demonic entities. The only way of driving them out is with divine aid. <br />
Among the letters you have been sending me about UFO sightings are several accounts of meetings with aliens. In almost every case it has been a pleasant event. Everyone says how difficult it is to describe, and no-one claims to understand it. My overall impression is that we are being taught something, a lesson long overdue. It begins with: You Are Not Alone. That is something we should know already. Simon in Bridlington, East Yorkshire, has been in contact with aliens since the age of five. At first he was frightened but they never hurt or abused him, and became friends. They kept him bright and happy, and he has learnt much from them. <br />
Colette in the USA had some painful experiences with the sinister alien types called 'greys'. But in the end, she says, 'I learnt a lot from those little guys!' <br />

The original meaning of the word Demon was Wise One or something along this lines, and even Lucipher meant Lightbringer and he was also called the Morning star, so why cant demons be good aliens or vice versa?&nbsp; <br />

REACTIONS!?!&lt; <br />
Guess not, lol, well I can say this with certainty. When reading and <br />
hearing of some of the more outlandish sightings reports it helps to not totally write off outright fabrications, meaning, gasp!, there's a possibility that someone's not telling the truth? Well, yes, it's completely possible. It's great fiction, but if it aint real life, don't let it ruin your real life. I haven't seen or heard of any recent UFO news, meaning there hasn't been that much or I wasn't paying attention. Probably my not paying attention, in fact might have an attention debt piling up somewhere.&lt; <br />

i can believe in people believing that they have SEEN or HEARD unidentifiable things, because unhealthy minds just work that way. lol. and there aren't many healthy minds out there, if any. abductions, abuse, impregnations... LIES! if somebody has the ability to make all of that up in their head, they really need help. or they should consider taking up writing for a career. :) <br />

Hiss Vault!<br />
Weblog of the {CAT} Clan's &amp; Mine too!<br />
Is it all Hiss Vault?<br />
First to the credits! Here's got a cool name, no? It's not my idea though! I have to credit an undead creepy smelly Lich named YeloSnow for the witty play on words that came up with this title. But I does likes it. Seems like I got alot of hissing to do these days anyways. <br />
Pent up hot air from all the second hand methane, etc. Not that I mind! <br />
I love it, it reminds me of the state of this so called society I find myself repeatedly living in and around, lol. Well, this is the intro, and if I like the way this looks I'll post a link to it on me main erh current webpage! SuBmIt! <br />

barncat 1.10.06 / 11am <br />
Forgot to add, BarnCat applies in these ways too! <br />
One, I'm a security gaurd, just another word for what one kind of vermin hires to control or chase off other competing vermin. <br />
BarnCat uh B.C. are my first two initials to my full human name. {the full set being BCL, kinda funny seeing Jim_West's clan tag sometimes, gosh what a tribute, I'm overwhelmed, lol} <br />
There's more but that's for later. <br />

This was meant to go under the BarnCats posts, GrOwL, Groovy, it's all good, lol. </p>

<p>From:&nbsp;Stargoyle &nbsp;&nbsp;2/8/2006 2:23 am&nbsp;To:&nbsp;ALL &nbsp;(3 of 46)&nbsp;&nbsp;876.3 in reply to 876.1&nbsp;Why BarnCat?<br />
Seems like a silly name right? Not any sillier than any regular birth name actually. As I've had this name since about the time I was fairly recently born. Mom was a C.B. enthusiast and just about everyone in the household got \&quot;handles\&quot; .. nicknames, alot like what you internet users and gamers use now, lol. So, from early off, I was BarnCat, my late brother was RustBucket, Mom got to be Amazon, and I can't remember Dad's, but his fave nickname is SwinginBear, for … <br />
I won't get into that, lol. Hell no. <br />
Maybe it, well I wasn't Born in a Barn actually. Here's how it goes! I was Conceived in the back of a VW Bug, by two pretty husky humans, near Mt. St. Helens' Ape Caves, Inconceivable aint it? You be the judge, I can't remember. I was Born in Portland Oregon. Would have been born in Washington, but I was one of them Infant Toxemia babies. <br />
Something about the Rh or Ph balance in the blood of the mother and infant, incompatibility… basically as she/Mom tells it I was poisoning her, lol. And she's never forgiven me for that I think, definitely not for kicking her in the middle of a contraction on the way out, lol. Off to an early start of being a meanie-head, lol. So here I was born and at the time Mom and Dad worked for room and board and some pretty decent pay at a horse ranch farm of sorts. So I came pretty close to being born in a barn, by a seperate of dozens of miles, and the columbia river. <br />
There's some additional background on the BarnCats that I might get into sometime. It's pretty farfetched and falls under the heading of Family Legend or Myth, whatever. <br />
One of the BarnCats is sitting right here in the kitchen, a furcovered gargoyle holding sleeping insistent vigil over an empty water dish, lol ok ok ok Brb..,<br />
…ok, This here little monster's name is Gobie, short for Goblin, as he was a vindictive violent little shit growing up. I abandoned the practice of picking the runts of the litters in favor of selecting this burly brawly little menace and I aint regretted it since. He was the first out of the box exploring even with his eyes closed and used to savage his siblings to make them squeel, lol. He did that with his so called childbride, Pixie, short for… Pixie. <br />
It was an almost totally authentic fatherhood for me, as we were urged from the instant we chose him to go and take him, for as tough as he was, there was an even fiercer animal roaming the property called a Toddler, and it revelled in picking up the little bundles of fur and chucking them off the side of the trailer, lol. See we bundled up this blind mewling monster and became parents. Fortunately he was a Natural at Food! He was up to soft foods quickly, then crunchy, then whole chunks of meat! I'll always remember him growling as I tried to take away an elk steak larger than he was before he ripped his sides out. He could hardly drag it, lol, but he was damn sure not gonna be done with it until he was done. He was raised in the woodsiness of the foot of the Olympic Mountains on salmon, venison, elk, rabbit, gruose, and whatever he later could kill for himself. His Sensei/Uncle, a halfbobcat seventoed superstrong mutant of a cat, D-7 was responsible for alot of his training. Domenstic male cats will have nothing to do with youngsters, avoiding or eating them, but Bobcat fathers are stern but attentive guides. These two would be up in the hills for hours, but come back down sporting bloody grins, matted fur and bellies so round they thumped stairsteps going up. Such cute fluffy murderers. Well nowadays, D-7 has long since passed away, Gobie is a city spoiled wussyboy housecat, I'm being beggd to feed him and here we BarnCats sit, concluding a pretty rambly Blog section. <br />

A place to store all these extra thoughts that wind up homeless, caught, euthanized and buried in lost memory. A place to strrrretch out, sharpen your claws, slap some thoughts around. Any and every old thing stashed here under the rug, into the blog. About Shade or outside Shade. Diaries from me or about me, lol. How I see the world, how the world sees me, and where they sometimes agree. Currently, I'm 5/7ths thru the Chronicles of Narnia and rushing thru so I can get onto a couple of new Tolkien books I just got. Hail Aslan! Narnian books are blazed through at about 4 - 6 hours each. Stephen King books are killed off in a day of steady reading. <br />
Anne Rice will be savored bite by bite for a week. Comic books are read so repeatedly the ink stains my eyeballs. …looks up and smiles with XMEN logo printed on his cornea… So tonight I g t work, but accompanying me will be Prince Rilian, and the Emerald Witch, and here I've only packed enough lunch for Me and the invisible BarnCat catjester who keeps stealing the cornchips. <br />

IC or OOC. And I'm thinking that's where alot of Shade is not doing too good. Is this person In Character, or is he a real åßߪø¬´in real life? <br />
Am I Out of character when I say so and so, or would it be the ________ him/herself?<br />
I read and write some of the weirdest stuff on that board. I can see where the confusion might come in. You're thinking the IC or OOC debate in your head and might not even realize it. You might think omg, this guy is so dead the minute he logs into Shade, or omg the minute this guy logs into Shade I'm logged out or 'ported back to town. <br />
That might be true, but that's IC in character. The Shade Board hasn't set up a system or guideline for anyone to differentiate between the two. And there almost needs to be. <br />
Fantasy and Reality unfortunately have to be divided, for clarity. <br />
Some people are so firmly grounded IC that Onboard or Ingame, they can take and give actions and reactions their character warrants with casual ease. Some folks are more comfortable Onboard or Ingame as themselves OOC, and sometimes that's boring, irritating, bitchy, and so on that if that was your IC Character self? Pretty sad. A little more creativity. Not everyone's this bad, folks can bring alot of themselves into Shade and it works awesomely, fur better or worse, it least it works. <br />
Drama happens alot right between IC and OOC, the friction between the two is a catalyst for alot of bullߪ&thorn; past and present. Someone un-named and anonymous comes in as a character rarely or never seen in Shade to attack or accuse or assume on someone else. Someone else totally IC makes statements IC that offend real life players who don't have their head \&quot;in the game\&quot; enough to not be so personally involved. I myself have stood back hackles raised at some of the macho strutting and bloodletting, gutting and posturing way back, but now I just gotta assume that's done IC for the benefit of the doubt. Their benefit, my doubt. Me, I post alittle of each, I'm me, I'm the Catcritter, I'm mixed blended intertwined. I like that air of mystery, it sometimes doesn't do me alot of good, but the being of it all makes up for it. I Lettered in Theatre in Highschool and have been a Ham ever since I could walk and talk. It's a real large part of me. <br />
That's why Role Playing Games like Shade got me by the brains. I can bring a Role, into a Game, and Play as it. My character's probably more thought out and themed than the average slapped together stack of tweaked stats walking around out there. <br />
My spells, my subs, and even some of my gear are themed on my character or something he's currently about. <br />
Alot of what I do and say in Shade can't be made sense of, but I play a whacky character, so that gives me a bit of leeway. See the careful craftmanship that went into that? My character will let me operate, and I'm set up to operate this character. It's a working cellphone symbiosis. It'd be great if everyone could enjoy their own character, and interact on fantastic levels with other characters with their 3rd dimensional brain being able to go with that flow, or be necessarily real when the occasion calls for it. <br />
Grimm's last lines at teh bottom of the TID screen \&quot;You worked hard for your chracter. Guard it carefully.\&quot; realy stuck out to me after all this more recent transfer deal I went through. Well Me and/or The Barncat have rambled on long enough, but now it's time for this guy in the security guard uniform who discovered online cellphone gaming while goofing around on the job, to get his shoes and hat on so he can get to work on time and goof around. <br />
Seeya in Shade! <br />

\&quot;To the Fall of WAP/VZW?\&quot; On the WGR Board there's a thread called \&quot;is WAP F*cking dead?\&quot; I'm starting to think, if it isn't, it's on the way out, at least for Verizon. Dying, slowly, frustratingly slow. Just enough for the illusion of playability, but not enough to set the mind at ease. That nobody else seems to know why alot of this happens is why I'm guessing. Seems we have an increase in server difficulties lately, freeze ups, shut offs, stop do not use reload when we all know damn well we didn't use it. The phone squeeks and creaks with whiteknuckle tension as we once again shake a frozen screen in helpless frustration as our character is beaten on unmercifully, and we're let in, dead, or very near death. That's real fun, especially if it happens alot, fun fun, I love it, thank golly I am spared the trouble of surviving, succeeding and levelling in Shade. I'm gonna be a ChatRat, call me an Npc, who's occasionaly \&quot;World-Curious\&quot;, I could be a Communication Nexus, a Clan Herald, or yes, constantly dead, lol. If I'm to be in Shade, this is my capacity.<br />
The minute I hear of Brew Java Shade coming to Verizon though, seeya. And let's HOPE the service and connection is better there. Honestly if it wasn't for the Players and the Potential Shade has in it, I'd have faded from the scene long ago. Waaay back when I led {ORC} in LOTR a Clanmember told me of something called Shade and told me I should play it. I said no, the Clan needs me here, and I'm LOTR-loyal. After both the Clan and warm feelings for Middle-Earth faded I made the journey on over to Sha...[Message truncated]View Full Message&nbsp;</p>

I have to say, they're making possibly my final Shade moments and memories truly worth it. The whole blessed dimplefaced chubbycheeked gang of em, really. Because if they want, I can be ALL About the war with them. It really is like I have nothing better to do, because I just about don't. I realisticaly have one more level to go before I'm obsolete and useless. A high-level waste of space. Etc.

Alaska cats don't take no crap.<br />
They don't sit in no one's lap.<br />
They don't let you brush their fur<br />
Or have cute names like Gulliver.<br />
They mumble but they seldom purr.<br />
Alaska cats are three feet tall.<br />
They drink beer and play pinball.<br />
And you may notice when they call,<br />
They don't wash themselves at all,<br />
Just once in the spring and once in the fall.<br />
Alaska cats are always dressed<br />
In jeans and boots and outdoor vest.<br />
It's not stuffed with eiderdown<br />
But hair from dogs around the town -<br />
Some black, some brown.<br />
Once a year to hold off famine<br />
They jump in the boats and they fish for salmon<br />
Slap those big fish with their paws<br />
Catch 'em, bone 'em, and then toss<br />
'Em in a pan with catsup sauce.<br />
Alaska cats chew catnip snoose1<br />
And spit about anywhere they choose.<br />
The freest cat you ever saw.<br />
They have no owners, no leash law -<br />
They laugh at pet cats. Ha, Ha - Ha, Ha - Ha, Ha.<br />

\&quot;Please, would you tell me,\&quot; said Alice, a little timidly, ... \&quot;why your cat grins like that?\&quot;<br />
\&quot;It's a Cheshire cat,\&quot; said the Duchess, \&quot;and that's why.\&quot;<br />
The cat also uses logic to offer non-solutions to Alice's question:<br />
\&quot;But I don't want to go among mad people,\&quot; Alice remarked.<br />
\&quot;Oh, you can't help that,\&quot; said the Cat: \&quot;We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.\&quot;<br />
\&quot;How do you know I'm mad?\&quot; said Alice.<br />
\&quot;You must be,\&quot; said the Cat, \&quot;or you wouldn't have come here.\&quot;<br />
Another example of this practice is presented when Alice asks for directions:<br />
\&quot;... thought Alice, and she went on. \&quot;Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?\&quot;<br />
\&quot;That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,\&quot; said the Cat.<br />
\&quot;I don't much care where \&quot;\&quot; said Alice.<br />
\&quot;Then it doesn't matter which way you go,\&quot; said the Cat.<br />
\&quot;\&quot;&nbsp;so long as I get somewhere,\&quot; Alice added as an explanation.<br />
\&quot;Oh, you're sure to do that,\&quot; said the Cat, \&quot;if you only walk long enough.\&quot;<br />
From American McGee's Alice<br />
\&quot;Only a few find the way, some don't recognise it when they do, some don't ever want to.\&quot;<br />
\&quot;Only the insane equate pain with success.\&quot;<br />
\&quot;How fine you look when dressed in rage. Your enemies are fortunate that your condition is not permanent ... and you're lucky too. Red eyes suite so few.\&quot; \&quot; A comment to Alice after the player finds a \&quot;rage box\&quot; (a power-up) for the first time.<br />
\&quot;When is a croquet mallet like a billy club? Whenever you want it to be ...\&quot;<br />
\&quot;52 pickup is a staple of juvenile humor, but when the deck slices and dices, it's no laughing matter.\&quot;<br />
\&quot;Bravery and I are not on intimate terms. My natural curiosity is tempered with caution \&quot; thus I've lived long.\&quot;<br />
From Terry Pratchett:<br />
\&quot;Slowly, the grin disappeared, until nothing was left but the cat. This is nearly as scary as the other way around.\&quot;<br />

We've spent most of it in frenzied busy-ness cleaning up teh apartment for inspections that take me right back to memories in job corp dorm inspections where beds had to have hospital corners, floor clutter was unacceptable, the slightest unsavory odor was punishable and me, I was busted chopswise left and right til the 5th sunday of every damn month.<br />
Luckily, and dont tell AmazonPhoenix, but this is the only way your's truly gets to see the floor, this much floor, at least once in any great blissful while. It wont last long, s 'm savoring it til my lovely packrat proceeds to conceal it once again, lol.<br />
I am just effin lovin this new boost phone! Pinkaaa and WyldDrgN have my eternal suffuse thanks and face lickings should they ever hold still long enough for me ta SSSSHHLLLOOSHHHPP em like that. LoL! Raiven too, a true nispiration and one of the few reasons I stay in Shade, she really brings it to dark life with hypnotic chracterisation and palpable presence. <br />
I drop in on the metaphorum, and gtta keep tryign to remind myself t set up some of these hostsand frequent dropperinners with a messenger account, ships passing quickly in the still smooth waveless ocean and the metaphorum echoes with absence. Nobody knows when anyone else is on and I cant get ahold of Herbalista to get at least a bot to talk to while sitting in chat waiting for chatters to get interested in what we have to offer.<br />
Have no idea, but a html code that counts active viewers and tells howmany are on site at any given time would just rock, but, I have no idea what to look for there. <br />
I do see new names up there so it looks like recent promo effotrs are paying off well.<br />
I saw a neat new version of Mr. Sinister for sale a few weeks ago, he was done up in a very stylish metallic cobalt blue, and the detailing was spot on and comics true. I forsook him for gettign the transformers cybertron jungle planet Snarl, a white and blue wolfrobot, also very stylish.<br />
spent the eeeeearly morning after St. patty's recovering from working the night of it. It was highschool collegiate mardigras there, please, kids, young adults, please be nice to the security guards at your shopping centers. We are people doing a job we dont always like doing and you little brat punk ߪ&thorn;heads kept interrupting my Shade playing! I was on the way down t Stumpy's Outpost and had to log off ta tell two of those tommy hilfinger clad zit factories to quit riding the shopping carts around. I really let loose on them too. I was wya past cautionary instructional corrective advisory and told them they were gettign way outta hand and knock it off. probably much moer effective than robotic behavior control too, they cleared out post haste. <br />
I hate being assertive, sure I earn my Captain åßßhole points for the day, but it's not in me to make a livelihood of it, but when pressed, yes. screw it, the hammer comes down.<br />
erh coffee refill time!<br />
Fffffffffing hot.<br />
I stillhaven't given up my ambition t get me one of those cheapo cheesey ministerial certifications by mail courses. Blame one of my aunt's for encouraging me to pursue a career as a man of the cloth. Chris Stevens of Northern Exposure inspires me too, as a DJ,. small town mail order certified reverend and all around good actor. Yes, my northern exposure dvd sets are increasing, nowI think I gotta get the first andlast seasons and I will be complete.<br />
But back on me becoming religious, harharhar as friggin if, I'm what I call an Irreverend. I'd be at the pulpit to my small confused masses preachign free thought, follow your heart, don't run with the herd, run with the pack, and the pride, and all that. the blood of christ would be on tap and mad dog 20/20, teh flesh of christ would be sesame sourdough with pepperjack cheese, spicy beef and savory. Special sauce my ass, that;s thousand island dressing, never again call i special sauce or you'll get a facefulla special sauce.<br />
Me religious. Hmmm. Can I make up my own religion? I have to have a niche, screw religious charter and regulations. Dues Licensing, ack, my aunt the new thought reverend let me in on some of the ministerial proceedings, from early classes at huntington beach california, t yearly LEC conferences, taxes, tithes, and events, all that, seems like a load of work, I'd have to mke it fun fr me, and then try to make it fun for others too. <br />
A Mass is a mass, but one person pacing and preachig his word to himself is just a nutcase. <br />
I finally found Dad's Merle Haggard/Willie Nelson tape wiat where'd it go? Ah ha, seashores of old mexico, funny cover, Willie is smiling his opensouled honest huckster hippy smile and Merle is levelling his tilted hat by tilting his head to regard Willie as the oddity in this scene. Yesterday and Silver Wings and Why Do I Have To Choose begin echoing through the part of my mind I reserve fr country music and it has to be old country. This new fangled bs is crap. Billy Ray Cyrus is garbage, Randy Travis can duck my ...scythe, Darth Brooks is okay, but he aint country, he's. they're all popcountry! Country isn't supposed to please the masses and sell out for massprofit, it's supposed t speak for itself. RIP John Denver, leaving on a jet plane, dont know when i'll be back again, CRASH!, lol, ok that was mean, but the irony is delicious.<br />
I have alot of my old cmic books out of storage and stored in file drawrs, thank you Walmart! Some of these I haven't got t read in years, getting bck into that universe and flying alongside IronMan, shooting the landscape up with Lobo, Xmen, Wolverine, Spiderman, Avengers, Batman, the list goes on, welcome back all of you, now let's fantasize, about superheroines, hotsa hotsa.<br />
Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope really look liek schmucks without their insane clown makeup on.<br />
I know I'm mispelling typoes, but scrooit, I've been &para;ßߥfooting editting what I have on my mind all day ƒç† doing it anymore. Kiss my åßß, lol.<br />
Cripes I only have but a few things on my one track mind at any one time, let's not get in a rush t dump it all onto the screen at once, save some for the appearance of complicity right?<br />

A possible board sig for the shade board, but the other is a CatDrgN now. I'm watching yet another dvd in french, it's a cool sounding language, but sounds like catfighting when it's yelled, lotta yeeow yeeow to what ObiWan Kenobi was complaining about.*<br />

{Must have been groggy yesterday, but fixing post now. I'm watching Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy in Spanish now. Dunno why, just interesting, think I need moer new DVDs, starting to mess around with all the old ones now in weird ways, watching them in different languages for amusement, and even delving into the commentaries! GaSp! April Fool's day is coming up and I wanna do something then, but it's short notice, alotta coordination, two groups to function and no guarantee that I'll not be the only one in attendance t either, lol.}<br />

*Been an interesting 2? weeks. It's detailed otehr parts of the board so I won't repeat it, comes naturally that I'm a blogger, all over the damn place. Bloodgeon! Bloodgeon, I haven't been Bloodgeon anywhere since years ago. Bloodgeon was a name that practically started The Metaphorum, well the Meta phorm built it, but the people were brought in by AriesPhoenix and Bloodgeon. Bloodgeon first appeared in Talkcity in one of those vampire RPG rooms, I can kinda remember it two yrs ago, me and someone named Gremlin or something freaking out this chatter putting on the oh so very normal and you guys are not facade, lol. Love those types. Nose in the air, testing their own reality groundings, distancing and studying chatrooms like peitri (sp) dishes. Bring em, sometimes I can study them right back, othertimes, blah, lol.*<br />
{I have been watching soooo many girlie films, Jersey Girl three times now, The Princess Diaries one and two. The Mrs has got to buy more rrrrrraction flicks, my testoseroni count is dwindling to weepy pillow cuddly slippers and cocoa levels, getting a little worried here, lmao!}</p>

Ag and I rented a copy of the older version from the library once, on VHS. It was absolutely unwatchable. We were waiting for the image to become cleaner or something, kept resetting the tracking or whatever by ejecting the movie. Things just got crappier and the sound started to go too, me thinks. We haven't seen the new one yet. It's on our to-watch list. <br />

{I wake up probably two or three times an afternoon, each time lookin at the clock and debating which time will be my getting up time. Finally settling on one, er one time, usually twelve, soemtimes one, lol. I turn on the tv, and put in a dvd, the noise helps my mind wake up. I make the first of two pots of coffee, it helps wake my body up. And I sit HERE in front of the webtv. I used to go by the day as to which email account I was going to devote my brief tiem interval to, but that varies singularly depending on the busier of the phorms.<br />
It whirrs and wheezes and clicks and is fnally usable. I check emails for talkcity message notifications, remembering I now have coffee, I get a cup out and ready and promptly forget about it. I check the Shade Board, though sometimes I really question why, thigns do love to go downhill there. no fault of the admin moderators or most of the members, but when you belong to a community of a bunch of anonymous characters that in the game can kill other anonymous characters, alot of inner beasts come to the surface. On their board it's just drama, spells and swordplay are powerless in the world of words, but no less inconveniencing.<br />
I leave with a chuckle at the latest of a well thought jab quip stab or rib, the smugness of proving I know a soemthing on a topic there, the anger of a continuing injustice, or the depression of a dulling atmosphere of grey bleak self destructiveness. Most the time it's the previous two. I like my avatar there, the shady jester, am the Shade Jester there. but there are days I'm not feeling very funny. My personal life or online life or gaming life all too easily rains on my charade.<br />
About 3 pm yipes damn grunt groan and gripe I gotta shut off or disengaged and make my same old customary 4 toasted cheese and lunchmeat sandwiches. The sun is still blarin yellow lasers through the blinds and I sidestep them like a ninja breaking into a laser tripwired bankvault. Outside everything is in shades of white and I cower anticipating a day of discomfort and pain as my nocturnal and afflicted body punishes me for walking in the sun's time on earth. where the normal people do their normal things, while I guard them against eachother and themselves.<br />
My drive to work has lately discovered a shortcut that shortens my commute by four minutes, but has even more lately been as slow or slower, it's damned too many humans all trying t live in one concrete colony. I don't think humans are meant to live this way, but what wuold know, I haven't been human for over twenty five years. And each new life circumstance seperates me further from humans and the living. No big loss, what passes for Humans and what passes for Life, both are found seriously lacking.<br />
I arrive at the office, unloading my lunchbox, coat, and a coffee thermos the size of R2D2, adn make my way to car #58, a cantankerous ford taurus and head inside to grab the carkeys, the keys tot he buildings I guard and the mileage logbook and radio. Once inside the car, I do have ta say this, run as poorly as it might this car has cold and powerful airconditioning and by the time I reach the main road up the car is a walk in freezer and I am in Heaven, heaven plus a ߪ&thorn;&thorn;y ford taurus and having to work, that is.<br />
I turn off the main roads as soon as possible and take the back road behind teh shopping center, I don't wanna deal with people right away, getting in trouble for attention or defiance, I really have cared less and less what they do until I've achieved boringness and they behave, but there are people new to our culture here who assume I give enough of a damn that they can play around with the security guard for a bit. How empty their lives must be. They're already worse off that anything can possibly do to them, but the morbid thoughts do go through my mind.<br />
WHer's the SHade, I need SHADE! Sometimes the fat lazy brightly colored badly dressed hollow human corporate peopel have the shaded parking hogged up and I have to try to ignore the pains, other times I am serendipitously lucky and for 45 minutes the shade is completely over the car beforeI'm microwaved again. It's still early yet,. the building's not totally closed and needing patrolled yet, s I turn on my cellphone and check chats, or kill off a quick critter, reply to messages I sent earlier on the first smoke break of the day.<br />
The night goes on with intermittent shading, scifi fantasy bookreading, people watching and introspection, which in my case aint always good, lol. Any and all of that can be rudely interrupted by the annoying humans and their various mental deficiencies. Amanda offstettler {sp} talks about domestic issues on 790 am, then she scoots over for Joe Tienne {sp} and his Liberal Outpost, a humorous look at the conservative republicans and their small retarded texan paramour and his attempts at empire.<br />
Darkness falls a few hours later, and I can step out of teh car, stretch, sure I was out once before briefly for building rounds and gabbing with the janitorial staff, but was I alone t smoke and think? No, I wasn't. A filtered cigar is light and puffed and from up on the hill the ants look like ants, they still drive cars and shriek and giggle and bellow profanities to eachother and bumble into eachother. I let a small rumblin growl rumble out of my throat, a venting sigh with an edge I guess, teeth a bit bared, but nerves smoothed a bit.<br />
10 pm Coast to Coast AM with George Norry comes on. I'm suffering fr entertainment since Howard Stern tucked tail and ran to satellite like the little pusswad I guess he always was. That and I'm too much of a cheapskate to buy a satellite radio and he was gettin kinda beatåßßed on by teh FCC, but damn it still sucks. Ah well, sorry howard, but I have new friends now sinceyou moved on, they live on NPR Public Radio, 790 talk radio, and one little gem of a canadian radio station that plays teh slicingest french techno, the kinda music I just wanna jovially break stuff to.<br />
It's about time to go and I do my final rounds basically a repeated ofthe earlier run, but darker, conclude the paperwork ofthe whole lotta nothing going on punctuated with the occasional human misbehaviors and resultant corrections. And I turn off te lights, lock the office back up, lmao office? My office is a broom closet zI currently share witht he teldata equipment and boxes of maintenance parts, but the chair is incongruously luxuriant, lol. It'll try to put you to seep if it gets the chance.<br />
I'm back out int he car for teh last few minutes of nonwork work, Shade for a closer, george norry's last words with his kooky guest and even kookier phone calls, lol. and I call off on the radio, and drive back.<br />
I get home lugging thelunchbox coffee thermos and 230 lbs of resigned me up teh stairs. Gobie is right at the door already yelling at me trying t convince me that allthe while I was gone he was starved and neglected by amazonphoenix, who is trying to sleep...[Message truncated]</p>

Wake up when the alarm goes off for Ag to go to work. Go back to sleep (or spend about three hours trying to get back to sleep) and then get up. Grab a granola bar, sit at the computer for a couple more hours. Then it's a toss-up between going to see Ag at work for his lunch break or staying home and wasting electricity. Today there are supposed scattered showers, so I'm not walking 40 mins in the rain either way. I stay home. My day, beyond any excursion to see Ag, and while Ag is not home, is fulla computeriness and/or sleep. <br />
Ag's on the computer all day, so when he comes home, he doesn't want to do much but check his email and anything but computer stuff. That's where routine stops. Until about 9:00 or 10:00, and I go back to sleep. <br />

{Gods this thing's hyperactive! Maybe the carrier's too small, we're clearing out the bathroom for it to room with more room in. How did I wind up in This postion?}<br />
*On the way back from hauling outthe weekly deposits of dirty cat litter and garbage I hear this shuffling in the bushes, walking on, but damnd if Curiousity didnt get the best of me I walked back and saw the face of a white squirrel?<br />
Nooo, the neck's too long. It's a very inquisitive friendly pointy face covered in possumlike fur. And it's scampering towards me, it's what appears to be a ferret cub / pup whatever they're called. Well, damn this poor thing is obviously too tame to be out in the wild. Was she abandoned? Escaped? Certainly neglected judging by her unkempt and patchy fur, the poor thing's balding in places. <br />
So, well I take her inside with me, yes she's so bald she's even an obvious she. Almost all her belly fur is gone too. I announced to my wife that uh we have a little visitor! This little mustelid? is an instant hit. My wife's nickname was Ferret in Job Corps thanks to her oversized tinted glasses and tendency to always be ferreting out info nosedeep in a book. She's hinted at gettin a pet ferret off an on, mostly off though, realizing how, yep, ... hyper they are. My ears are buzzing with the activity she emits.<br />
Luckily she's tired herself out again chewing and pawing the heck outta the bars to the cat carrier she's in until more of a living space is made. Bad news is, the naming has already occurred, a sure bad sign of attachment. First she's Comet or Shoestring or Loopy or Lightning or Lizzie and finally I think I settled on Pinka, for her bright pink patches of skin, especially the one in top of her head like a friar's cap, that and she's named after another always ever active critter I know from Shade.<br />
Pinka's taking another nap, so I get a brief respite before she spazzes out on the bars again. This is actually not a tenable long term situation. We cannot have more than our two cats as apartment pets. Gobie seems okay with Pinka, but he is a natural born killer having hunted and killed things larer than this ferret here. Pixie seems uncertain what to think, this new visitor has fur like her, but gaaawds is she musky. We had to do a little bit of research, what to feed this very active animal, what is she exhibitting symptoms of, and yep<br />
She's a younger ferret adolescent, being under long and underweight, she's balding from some neglect having probably been too long in her own feces, and so was let go of or escaped from neglect, probably a lazy kid's forgotten pet. and I start to regret naming her Pinka being that the swollen distension of a certain bodypart seems to indicate she's also in her estrus? Heat. And I can't imagien the realize Pinka sharing her nickname with a balding pinkskinned ferret in heat, lmao.<br />
Good news is the bathroom is almost ready to be inhabitated, floor's clear of fabrics we don't want animalled on and harmful chemicals we don't want going in the animal. I don't think Gobie has seen anything like her, friend or food, he hissed at Pinka at first, but now they do alot of nose-talking.<br />
We gotta thnk of soemthing ta do with this little monster. The Humane Society will know best what to do with her, then again we could post up an Anyone Lose a Ferret posting, but this poor Pinka's probably better off not returning to the misery her poor sickly form is liberated from. She's a charmer, she should be adopted within weeks. Plus the laws concerning ferrets are hopefully so different she can't be put to sleep if it takes to long for a new home to arrive to her, right? <br />
SHe's got a bit of a flea problem, but probably no more than the average mammal. let her out a bit to roam supervised, she's met Gobie outside and unprotected and he shows no signs of wanting to hunt her. Boundless destructive energy this one though, and I'm hoping she doesn't dismantle the bathroom door demanding even More space, lol. It's gonna be an even moer interesting weekend.*</p>

*Our little houseguest has made herself right at home, her and Gobie do get to hang out at times and seem to have discovered a bizarre interspecies attraction. She's in heat after all. She's laid down in front of him suggestively a few times and he's sniffed that backside in response, but it looks like even he has morals and she hasn't pressed him for more. Pixie's acting very strangely, it looks like jealousy. And us two humans are thinking this has got to be the absolute limit of animals for this small domicile, lol. <br />
Pinka or Pinky looks like se's got a few more days with us whlie we implement the plans that will hopefully see her in a new home. we'll ask around adn see if anyone lost a ferret, then we'll take the squirmy beady eyed imp to the humane society and cross our fingers. She gt star treatment from day one, we clipped her overlong claws, and holdin a snakey rope of hyper fur t do that is real tricky at first, then we used a damp cloth for a wipeclean bath and she loved that. I could hear a mental purr going through her mind as she appeared to almost smile sleepily.<br />
ZI'm just glad she lived to see the next day! She's by no means sickly except in appearance, very active little bugger, but she can sleep for up to 18 hours a day and that she can and will do all too easily.<br />
Where do the weeknds go so damn quickly? My finger hovers over the ban button again for a very special someone, you know the rest, but we'll see. I leave it up to fate mostly. and for the rest it depends how &para;ßßed off I get.<br />
Well I'm gonna shut this down for te now and hunt in Shade, gold gear glory and making the enemy gory. peace out!*</p>

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia {Wikipedia rocks.}<br />
Domestic Ferret<br />
Conservation status: Domesticated<br />
A domestic ferret \&quot;resting\&quot; momentarily. {This top pic most resembles Pinky, and momentarily is so damn true, her sleep can be from an hour to a minute of aware rest before hyperactivity resumes}<br />
Scientific classification<br />
Kingdom:Animalia<br />
Phylum:Chordata<br />
Class:Mammalia<br />
Order:Carnivora<br />
Family:Mustelidae<br />
Genus:Mustela<br />
Species:M. putorius<br />

Trinomial name<br />
Mustela putorius furo<br />
(Linnaeus, 1758)<br />
In general use, a ferret is a domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo), a creature first bred from the wild European polecat or steppe polecat at least 2,500 years ago. {Eeenteresteeeng}<br />
Several other small, elongated carnivorous mammals belonging to the family Mustelidae also have the word \&quot;ferret\&quot; in their common names, including the endangered black-footed ferret. <br />
Contrary to popular belief, ferrets are not rodents, but members of the mustelid family, which also includes weasels, badgers and otters. {She does move around in that loping waddling ungainly otterlike manner, seeming like every movement is playful}<br />
Ferrets as pets<br />
Ferrets sleeping in a pile<br />
In many ways, ferrets act like kittens that never grow up. They have energy, curiosity, and potential for chaos all their lives, and are always keenly aware of their surroundings. However, they are far more people-oriented than cats, and most actively elicit play with their owners. {THank gods forthis article, I thought she was just being weird, she's trying to teach ME games, lol. I think Tag and Tugowar are her preferences.}<br />
Their lifespan can vary widely, but usually falls between six and eight years, though in rare cases they can live into their early teens. {Egads.}<br />
Dangers to ferrets<br />
It has been suggested that ferrets were bred for curiosity; whether this is true or not, their curiosity often exceeds their common sense. {Pinky had one mishap fallign into the bathtub, she couldn't get out the sides are too slippery so she knocked a shampoo bottle onto herself, knocking her self just a tad silly.} <br />
For these reasons, steps must be taken to \&quot;ferret proof\&quot; a home before acquiring one as a pet. {We couldn't Fproof though whole house, but she does have the run of the bathroom, and run she does.}<br />
Ferret proofing a house is an ongoing task that involves carefully going through each room, removing items dangerous to ferrets and covering over any holes or potential escape routes. Ferrets can open improperly-latched cupboards or doors by rolling over and clawing at the bottom edge, so many owners buy childproof latches or keep cleaning products in high, out-of-reach places. However, ferrets can fit through holes as small as an inch square, making some childproof latches ineffective. {She'll savage the door in an attempt to get out and raom the whole apartment, further boosting the Escapee Theory}<br />
Diet<br />
Ferrets are obligate carnivores; their natural diet consists entirely of meat, and they lack the ability to digest vegetable matter. {She does have a carrot, but has ignored it for two nights now, it'll have to be trashcanned.}<br />
There are a wide variety of ferret foods available at pet shops worldwide. A cat or kitten food can also be used, as long as it provides the high protein and fat content required by the ferret's metabolism. {She's doing just fine on catfood, first tim she ate it though she bolted it all down to quickly and had to throw up, since then she's mastered paced eating, lol} <br />
Activity<br />
Ferrets spend most of their time (14 to 18 hours a day) sleeping, but when awake they are very active, exploring their surroundings relentlessly. Ferrets are crepuscular, meaning they are most active during dawn and dusk. If kept in a cage, they should be let out for a few hours daily to get exercise and satisfy their curiosity. When ferrets are kept in their cages for too long, their walking ability can be affected and they may become subject to depression or \&quot;cage stress\&quot;. {The sleeping bit is right, and Pinky seems nocturnal too, as I speak she's beating the hell outta her cage door, explanations for this behavior later in this article}<br />
Ferrets, like cats, can use a litter box with training. {She does dutifully dispose onto the paper towels in the corners}<br />
Ferrets are also fine backyard companions and especially enjoy \&quot;helping\&quot; their owners in the garden. However, they should not be allowed to wander; ferrets are fearless to the point of foolishness and will get into whatever holes they will find, including storm drains. Whenever they are outside, they should be closely supervised and preferably kept on an \&quot;H\&quot;-shaped harness leash designed for ferrets.<br />
Play<br />
Since ferrets are social animals, many of them are playful by heart and are happy to play with humans. \&quot;Play\&quot; for a ferret can involve hide-and-seek games, or some form of predator/prey game in which either the human attempts to catch the ferret or the ferret to catch the human. {Very fun times in her little world of ferret play, it's like learning the customs of a whole other culture}<br />
Like a playful kitten, ferrets usually will not actually \&quot;bite\&quot; their human companions, but instead gently grab a toe or finger in their mouth and roll around with it. However, ferrets that have been abused or are in extreme pain will bite a human. Ferrets have extremely strong bites and can readily bite through human skin. Once properly socialized, however, domesticated ferrets will very rarely bite humans. {She does do those little lovenips, but compared to the chomping Gobie does they're barely felt. She seems to like being rolled around and carried alot too}<br />
Most kitten toys work well with ferrets. Toys made of rubber or foam should be avoided, however, as ferrets can chew off and swallow small pieces, causing or leading to intestinal blockage. Ferrets love playing tug of war with toys and <br />
stuffed animals. {She does have a plastic easter egg and a ball, but doesn't show interest in them unless I'm pushing them around.}<br />
When ferrets are especially excited, they will perform the weasel war dance, a frenzied series of sideways hops. This is often accompanied by a soft chuckling noise, called dooking by many ferret owners. {This is so damn cute}<br />
Ferrets have been known to play with household cats and small non-aggressive dogs. However, great care must be taken when introducing ferrets to any new animal, particularly terriers and other breeds with instincts for catching ferret-sized prey. Ferrets will normally not get along with rabbits, rats, and mice, which comprise part of its diet in the wild. {She and Gobie get along famously though they're still trying to synchronize their play styles, eventually giving up to lay d...[Message truncated]View Full Message&nbsp;<br />

And I felt like I had t explain how I get myself into these fixes. BLame my saggitarius true node on my astrology chart, blame my soft spot for animals, but given the opportunities I be doing this alot. I once adopted a nearly roadkilled possum. I'm used to seeing them dead, this one was not. It was knocked half senseless, missing eye and dislocated jaw, but still resembling life. So I boxed it up and took it sssnuck it into the apartment. First order of business was assessing it's injuries, but after a night of rest it seemed a bit more active. I went to work on it right away, it needed a bath to clean off that dried caed on blood and preveting any infections. ou thoguht giving a dog a bath was hard? Try a ticked off giant ratlike Opposum, squalling growling and hissing, lol. A week or so it was with me, and I named it Duncan, after the unkillable highlander Duncan Nash, well this one full named Duncan Gnash after it's dislocated jaw. ALso partly naemd after Duncan Shiek who had a hit song at the time I just liked for some weird reason. \&quot;I am barely breathing\&quot; seemed fitting for the condition I found him in. After a few days of unsuccesful feeding I took it upon myself to RElocate the jaw, h9olding it down while it squalled and hissed I slowly but quickly moved the jaw to the side to match it's upper set of teeth. It was a pop you could feel under it's face and hear in it's mouth, I though for sure I broke something, until it reluctantly moved it's jaw up and down, licking it's lips and with a sigh it fell asleep. Duncan got to wake up to some pizza I had gotten from leftover unclaimed orders from the food place I worked at wqhich made pizzas. And I was pleasantly surprised it's eyeless socket had healed over too. Well freely roaming aruond te apartment I noticed he might be becoming too domesticated for his own safety so one night I picked him up Zzzzwhip! His tail wrapped around my arm, like a boa it squeezed, so I walked down toward the blackberry bushes with my new stylish opposum heavy bracelet, a trend that I dont think will ever really catch on. and attempted to reintroduce him to freedom, he was having none of that. Quiktip for those in this unique position, grab the tail tip first and pry out, the rest of the tail comes loose and the possum is droppd unceremoniously and with a dirty look released to the wild. I kindamiss his company, the hilarious sight of it sleeping in an aquarium made for Rats, see I had my 6 regular rats in 3 seperate aquariums, and then this huge mutant rat curled up sleeping as if it was natural for it to be there. Sitting back watching tv with a possum on my lap snoring raggedly, and the incredulous looks I got from people who heard I had adopted and rescued a half dead possum. The more things change the more they stay the same. New species, same obsession bleeding heart animal compassion, lol. Crap she's awake, looks like I'm ending this missive here adn attending to a ferret.} </p>

As of now the Ferret named Pinka with one 'a' / Pinky is gone from us. We're a bit sad to see her go. A couple nights or three of interrupted light sleep with the banging scratching clawing biting thumping at the doors of wherever she is and now the house seems kinda empty! I made sure to get a pic of her on the cameraphone! THe pic just wont show up right. Rose pink tinted Pinky picture works somehow.] <br />
[Let this be a lesson? Ferrets cute, but... NOT Pets! UH uh way too crazy. way too active.]<br />
[Luckily the lady picking her up says Ferrets are a hot adoption item! Some employees there have up to four and they at times all do get together for Ferret parties, a house full of romping mustelids, bring nasal congestants, lol.]<br />

He ended up goingto the humane society and found his squirmy hyper little friend and learned of her being taken care of for a few days.

The job counselors aren't kidding when they told me I'd have to be determined to get anywhere in that biz. Short of camping out on their roof lol jk. I'd been focussed on KGMI 790 am NewsTalkRadio, off and on, up and down, in and out and all around. It's befuddling lol. But the real chance to step up and flex up on the microphone setup came when I luckily landed the opportunity to fill in for a guest DJ cancellation! Rock with me awhile.., <br />

Read The Finer Pawprint <br />
KISM 92.9fm does not having streaming audio or whatever it is that allows you interstational folks to listen to radio online. I didn't do this for profit or money, I did it to help out, and to practice, and maybe get myself known a little. {With me lazing about the station every other week, someone's bound to slightly notice lol} The show's estimated time is 60 minutes, what I have so far is the indirect copy. {am/fm clock radio to handheld tape recorder, not for rave reviews that one} But <br />
I do have a slightly shorter copy 90 min roughER draft and expect to maybe have a CD Copy from the station itself. TBA, etc. I'm not made of money or time for interstate shipping and handling and I cannot legally nor will not demand any, so I'm gonna limit the copies to very select bunch who I feel would get the most enjoyment outta them, having known me for longer or better. Hate ta play faves, but alot of my weekday life is spent waking up or winding down, and weekends thus are sacred. Keep in mind this is a onetime, first shot, improv, rough draft DJ'ing on my part so you might not be missing out on much anyway. Hence why you'd have to know me and really really wanna hear this or I'd be mailing ya a complete utter boring timewasting square of audio garbage, not that I'm ruling that out lol. Jk! Only other idea I have is a conference call rebroadcast replay, not for profit or promotional purposes, <br />

Lately, I've been looking into an At Home Radiohost gig, I'd tell you more but I don't want competition for the job lol. I'll tell ya more probably later after I have secured My show for Myself for Me! Might not be much pay, but it's practice and exposure. <br />
Radio Advice and Insights from I aint tellin', lol. <br />
If you are an expert at practically anything that would be of interest to a good number of our listeners, and would like to share your expertise, we would be open to talking with you. {This from an ad I read recently, but gives some good advice or perspective into what makes for a radio show and on air personality.} <br />
However, if you have experience in public speaking, and feel comfortable addressing groups, that would be a real plus. {I could probably be way too comfortable speaking in public and at the same time not very at all. Oh no I've said too much, I haven't said enough?} <br />
What is most important is that you have an engaging personality, {Hoohah!} a strong, pleasant voice {Hahrrrmmm, yezzz.}, and come across as someone who is passionate about what you are speaking about {Down With The Immoral DoubleStandarded Theocracy! Brocolli Too!}. <br />
Furthermore, a good sense of humor, along with not taking yourself too seriously, are qualities that would greatly enhance your chances of gaining a wide audience, and, thus, becoming a successful radio personality. {If I take myself ANYWHERE, it's rarely Seriously, in fact I think I'm banished from Seriously.} <br />
What we wish to see in the new shows is growth in our hosts's experience, and in our listeners' interest, and loyalty to the new hosts, and the new shows. {The ever present ever pressing bottom line is a cold dry papery green in hue.} <br />
There are different reasons why an individual might like to have their own radio show. Most anyone would like to be on the air just for the fun of it; simply as an ego booster. {I see nothing wrong with this.} <br />
Other reasons would include gaining exposure for services, or products, which might be central to their businesses, or some might find this an opportunity to use radio as a far reaching vehicle, giving them a chance to be heard on something they feel extremely passionate about. {Oh not just me, this'd be a forum for many people to be heard and understood.} <br />
Potential hosts motives may be many, but for us, gaining a significant number of regular listeners is our bottom line. If you feel you have what it takes to host a successful radio show, then you are full of confidence, and deadly serious about this opportunity. {Gulp!} <br />
You have complete freedom of content for your show, you can have guests, you can have listeners call in for advice, or to make comments, you can have half a show be a lively monologue, then, the other half could include interviewing a guest, or guests, you could do a whole show with nothing but call ins. {So, basically just like a real radio show!} <br />
Remember, it is your show; you are in total control of it, so make the most of this opportunity to show that you have \&quot;the right stuff\&quot; that will best catch our attention. {Each radio station is different in what they'll allow, but all of them know the 7 deadly words you cannot say on Radio, lmao!} <br />
There are other considerations, such as the sound of your voice, your level of confidence, and personality, amongst other factors. {For me personally you HAVE to sound Right, no whining, no overcheeriness, no buzzing, clear your throat and nose, speak directly to from and about, I hold myself to tricky standards but if I don't like my own sound I don't think anyone else would.} <br />
Just so long as you have access to any landline phone in the world, you can do your show, with guests, and call ins. {Or both?} <br />
Good Luck... {You too lol.} <br />
------------------------------------------------- <br />

{Now this is just from one job I'm going for, it asked for a series of show outlines and what each would cover. I sent them a potpouri of everything from Politics to Health &amp; Travel to Paranormal. My deal is this, if I don't know enough about a show topic, wouldn't it be something to learn along with the audience, making it a level playing field, relatively, bringing active audience participation to frenzied attention levels and listener enthusiasm?} <br />
Sample Outline, what I'd like to air, what you'd like to hear?: <br />
Republicans, Democrats, Liberals, Conservatives, Green, Constitution Party and so on. What are the definitions of each? What party do you Really belong to? Being Absolutely Clear about Which SIDE you play for, or for you politicians, play To! This and more, just too much to cover here, lol. <br />
Campfire Tales, Openline Call-ins for ANything you have encountered in the great outdoors that just sent chills all up and down your spine. <br />
Phenomenal Washington State! Ghosts, Sasquatch, Ufo activity and more, we live in a truly mysterious magical state, let's just revel in it on this show. <br />
AutoImmune Disorders, the invisible debilitator or inhibitor. Tired of being called a whiner for having one of these unevident inapparent chronic afflictions? So am I. Solutions, Support, humor, Anecdotes until they find the antidote. <br />
World Travel Audio SlideShow, I'll have clips of the sounds of a bustling German tourist trap. Cobblestone, horse buggies, a happy relaxed and crowded crowd here, the fun of other places that America may have lost, or ever had. <br />
Which branch of Christianity is the Real One? There's too many versions out there and we want to get it right but we're inundated with choices where there should just be one, or is it the thought that counts? <br />
Entertainment Outlet! You'll be Plugged Into the latest and greatest of Music &amp; Movies, Books and TV. <br />
Household Chaos Theory, how do we lose so much control of our surroundings to Clutter? The Sock Effect. How to crawl back out of it to restore order. Hard decisions ahead, Letting Go of the material mass safety blanket so to speak. <br />
Specific NorthWest, yep, more about Washington State. Towntalk, where you at and how's the rain? Seeing the Sights for a price that won't gut your wallet out. <br />
And more, much more, I'm an ideas guy, sometimes even good ideas. But for me it helps to do a show on something I'm really into, I hear some hosts who must be forcefed their show topics or picked the wrong one and the show itself comes out sounding monotone and lifeless, and the dial is switched to something else. <br />
Co-Host? Cohort? Working with an old pro and the contest to determine who will. <br />
Yep, you got it, your's unruly just entered himself in on a contest to cohost with KGMI's own Brett Bonner! You might be wondering how this BarnCat's gonna do with one of the pros in the biz, well so am me!

<p>From:&nbsp;Stargoyle &nbsp;&nbsp;Aug-15 8:04 am&nbsp;To:&nbsp;ALL &nbsp;(41 of 46)&nbsp;&nbsp;876.41 in reply to 876.37&nbsp;My Essay, almost a mission statement, a declaration. <br />
Anagram Quote by Vonnegut:<br />
\&quot;Just because some of us can read and write and do a little math, that doesn't mean we deserve to conquer the universe.\&quot; =<br />
\&quot;A masquerade can cover a sense of what is real to deceive us; to be unjaded and not lost, we must, then, determine truth.\&quot; <br />
What I didn't cover in the previous essay because I had to wait til I got Library time to view a pdf file so I see now I left some things out. Now we're getting serious, the nitty gritty. Hope it's okay to be different heh. <br />
Why I think I should?be a Co-Host for Brett? <br />
Honestly I barely know the guy, but what I have heard I mostly like. Sure there are some differences, but I'd think that'd be better than some sycophant agreeing with everything and becoming a yes man clone of the older more experienced host. Keeping it amiable of course, but maintaining your stance with an open mind is more realistic. I think I could learn alot from Brett, and maybe just maybe he could get a different perspective on things from me. Not egotism, it's just how things sometimes happen.<br />
I'm political, in fact I've never paid more attention to politics ever before than since 2000. Lives are depending on this, freedoms, liberties, and the creator given right to live your life the way you are entitled to in a free country begin to look like they're being approached and scrutinized for changes they can undergo for the sake of national security, religious conformity and other offbalance control issues. <br />
I would like to hear why people are why they are, their party, their vote. I want to clear things up about the parties and make it clear I am trying to understand, but I am not evil for voting the way I do, believing as I do. Wht am I? Guess you could call it Liberal Democrat Conservative? People gotta live their lives the way they have rights to, those rights must be preserved, but then again, within reason, problem is who determines the reason? <br />
Talents, and abilities I think the resume' covers, but unique insights. This one gets good. I don't think I'm represented on KGMI, my kind of person, so I say a man who represents himself has a fool for a... DJ? So I'm trying for that DJ to represent me and people like me, more numerous than many are comfortable acknowledging. Life is not all roses and butterflies. Yet at the same time there is hope and the hope that needs no external validation or alibi, it comes from within. It's not always easily accessible but it's there. I didn't grow up very high up in class so to speak. I'm not officially papered well educated but I am intelligent regardless, and no less of a human than my counterparts in quality suits and luxury sedans. <br />
That is if they're human still heh.<br />
My main concern and honestly is how I would fit into the overall scheme of things in the KGMI Offices &amp; Studio. I like trying to get along with people but where there is friction and resistance there it'll be. I'm not model material, being a bit hairy, husky, hirsute and humble. Little joke here but if it weren't for Joe and Brett and Tracy and maybe a few others, I'd be intimidated about trying for a job amongst the perfect people. Not that they're ugly, but they strike me as more Real, the people you see Outside the clothing catalogs and the highrise buildings. <br />
Coming with me to the studio I can see a quirky bizarre sense of humor the overly regular type of person just doesn't get. A determination to learn, a high standard of performance and expectations for myself I set higher than most would for me. A decent voice/s, I do voices, but I can be asked to mellow that out heh. A natural leaning towards entertainment, a charisma towards networking and creating solutions and ideas, and finally to keep a long essay short I want the chance to become better than just an entry level space filler who'll toil in obscurity enabling those I may resent or envy or admire to go about their lives stressfree, fulfilled, secure and happy about where they are in life. I'd like to be one of them, it's time I started thinking career oriented and for a career it's good to do what you would like doing. I can't see why that can't be. But then?<br />
Ultimately it'll be up to the Listeners, as well it should be, they are the buyers of the products and services advertised on the air. They are the opinions being expressed, the listeners to other points of view, the voices on the phone, and the listeners of KGMI. Who listen because they like to, to the shows they like, to the On-Air Personalities they like, and this contest like American Idol is perfect for trying to get them just that kind of person, whether that's me or not. I'm at least going to give this a try and I thank KGMI for the chance to do that.<br />
{Edit, as of 6/18/07 I've had to drop out, citing being a bit forced or derailed by timing and scheduling issues beyond my control, but within others', No Matter their excuse. Can't Fly with the Eagles when Surrounded by Turkeys. The 7:30am Start time would just be way too messed with by all the recent hoolah to allow for me to try for this. It's a narrow enough time window to go home change and drive up there as it is, without being subject to others'. ...twitch...

6/19/2007 | So you wanna be a talk show host... {I'd have loved to give it a go.}<br />
By Brett Bonner {An old pro in the biz, and Newsguy and Morning Talkshow Host.}<br />
Debbie is leaving the 8-9 a.m. talk show and we are looking for a replacement (she's going to focus on her afternoon 3-5 talk show).&nbsp; What are we looking for in a co-host of the new \&quot;Brett &amp; _________ Show\&quot;?&nbsp;{Always thought Brett and BarnCat would be one odd pairing guaranteed to get that wtf reaction lol.} <br />
&nbsp;<br />
While you the listener will have a vote, and Debbie and The Bosses will have a say, I will too.&nbsp; Speaking just for myself, here's my main set of criteria. {Lean in listen in.}<br />
&nbsp;<br />
I don't care if you are conservative, liberal, Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Gay, Straight, Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, Male, Female, etc. etc. I just want the best overall person available for the job. (Yes, it is a paying, part-time job.) {Maybe alot Liberal, Green leanings, Straight, White, Male, overall, and a person, but available's the tough part.}<br />
&nbsp;<br />
I believe all successful talk show hosts have several qualities in common: {Let's see if we got these..,}<br />
&nbsp;<br />
1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You must be smart.&nbsp; Not necessarily intellectual, but smart.&nbsp; Maybe also an intellectual, but for sure smart. Common sense smart with the ability to think on your feet. To not just look at a subject superficially, but to also peel back multiple layers and make connections. Smart also means having a decent grasp of history.&nbsp; Is Vietnam like the Iraq War? What did FDR think ab...[Message truncated]View Full Message&nbsp;</p>

KGMI has now their final 5 cohostestants in the running, I never made it past the application process. Listening to the shows I'm getting an idea of what they wanted making it that far. Professionals, Family people, Longtime locals, Politically enthusiastic people, FeMaLeS! I'm just a schlumpy GED Grad, don't have a family, only lived in B'ham 5 yrs, local politics aren't my main vein, only need to know as much as it takes to vote correctly, and I am not female. Sexism, it's not just for ladies anymore lol. Well maybe that's not it, but damnit, only 2 guys made it through, one was a pastor, one was a professor. I didn't stand a chance. It's looking like KGMI might not be the direction 'm meant to take, I've had better luck interfacing with the classic rock station and besides all this time I've spent waiting on yes's and no's I could have spent pursuing solider leads instead of dangling in the wind. I. Just. Do not. Want to. Be a. Security Guard. for the rest of. My goddamn. Life! 'm meant for better things, but better things act like they can afford to be picky, and the bad part for me is they probably can lol, damnit.}</p>

<p>From:&nbsp;KoKoDrgN &nbsp;Aug-24 9:07 am&nbsp;To:&nbsp;Stargoyle &nbsp;(43 of 46)&nbsp;&nbsp;876.43 in reply to 876.42&nbsp;Like I said, what I would do is call every single radio station in your area and just do your thing. You don't need to be an official radio personality to be on the radio. eventually you will build up a following til the stations have no choice but to fight over your time. Do voices, act silly, give outragious prophecies of the Apocolypse, just do it. Call request lines and act a fool. <br />
Basically, don't let their refusal to recognize talent get in your way. Grab the balls by the bull and run with it. Find a college radio station and call in a bomb threat if they don't put you on. Every day call at least one station and just pretend you own the place. It's the BarnCat Show!!! They will take notice eventually</p>

Just keep on trying, bro! Perhaps you need to force destinity to bring the things you deserve and want...<br />
Don't give up hope! Just focus and keep in mind that day will come!!!<br />
That's all I wanted to say about that!</p>

I'm the Brian of KGMI.com's Hear It Now on Joe Teehan's Liberal Outpost. Tricky part is I'm not any of those other brians, I'm the Brian with the acidic tongue and razor twisted mind. I'm the BarnCat of their blogs, I think they can feel the presence and pressure lol they're just ignoring it or I'm on the backburner who knows.* <br />
{Some encouraging news in case I forgot, my firing salvo of resume's got mixed reaction. 1550 AM not happening. Classic Rock station actually DID want a new DemoTape so I gave em more of my all there. General Manager of all 5 stations there passed it along to Program Director who is PrObAbLy Debbie Chavez, Koko knows the gal too, the one that gets bagged on on the blogs for leaning a tad heavily on the God tip.}<br />
*Me and Brett Bonner were kinda bouncing around trying to come up with an idea towards their identity theft going on in their blogs. I even emailed WebFX themselves, to no reply. Lynne Rainey handles website issues, she'd be my next choice and I referred one guy to her who also had his name picked up and run silly with. Imagine if someone on the shadethingy could clone your name profile everything and yell out in their absurd parodied perceptions of you. It's potentially quite bad over there, as more and more people find out they can do it.*<br />
{On a minus note, Harry Potter and Order of Phoenix was nice, very good stuff, but I did wake up kinda sick later, sat thru the movie with a headache and there is no comfy seating with a headache, drove home drained and pounding. Popped into SHade a coupla times, but the SoulFeeders on 5 are hunting smarter and I got 80 ac and sending))) so I shook off the Centaur race like a short term memory in CrazyRealms. An old friend of mine cronie from middle school called,. his neighborhood continues to go downhill with tweakers and shriekers at any and all hours of the night. But talks of good old days and good new days was anice distract for both of us. still adjusting to his new lifestyle though, I'm open minded and he's still my friend, no matter how he now lives his life, but Jewish? Well, if it works out maybe I can borrow a quid or two off him every now and them. Oy Vey!}<br />
*I talked with the night, and I can see more within it, than humans just might, because I live in it, depth and colors to my eyes appear, distant sounds I seem to hear, all evades those with normal senses, with covered garages, attics yards and fences, with minivans kids wealthy healthy careers, with that un perfect god who everyone fears, Not for me though me thinks that much true, the sky's not real black but very dark blue. I'll probably never be normal but I've seen normal is, and I for myself want none of that biz. I am what I am and that's al what I am, just wish what I was wasn't in such a jam, lol.* <br />

In CHat see the clans Jmp FTL 7ds and uncertain strangers. I know and get along ok with Pachiel and _STORM_ but it feels like a sit down and shut up play it straight situation. I do get the sense I'm not preferred being down there, but I can't leave yet. I have a whole clan to restock as te only CAT with the time and ability to get down to 'Tor currently, its musts needs bes dones. Though if they wanna get me outta thre quicker they aremore than welcome to help me stuff my bank, restock clan members and money me up to my 1,000,000 gold goal, til then they're just gonna have ta get used ta seeing me down there.*<br />
{Almost time to go, I've been radiolistening for nights weeks months years now, studying. I think I'm getting it now but there's so many ways to do it and then there's my way to do it, but with so few choices of radio stations to do it in my style may have to adapt. I'd really like to make living in Bellingham work, but so far working for a living in Bellingham seemsjust an exercise in monotnous make-do make moneying. Just a week of... recovery, gathering energy and focus and I'll be jumping into the volunteer radio gig. It's on air experience, it's no prestigious school accreditation, its no pre-establishd radio savoire tenure, but it's experience of some kind, the kind I can Afford. And so into teh night I study, ears open, shiny tin badge of security guard glistening under streetlights like chains in a darkened dungeon.}<br />

{It amazed me how very little people knew of this series even those who claim to have read it or like some of the characters even and can still retain total cluelessness, lol, so I will not criticize. I will not be cruel, lol, not yet. I'm gonna post this up for the quickreading research that Wikipedia provides. I'm already ticked Anne Rice has now turned her back on the vampires and has returned to religion. We lost one of the most stunningly vivid cerebral visceral beautiful series of books ever written. Anne reinvented the vampires AND revived alot of humanity.}</p>

Doesn't it seem like the passing away of her daughter brought her into the darkness, then the death of her husband took her back out?<br />
He died right around either the end of Blood Canticle or after it's release. Many say Rowan Mayfair symbolizes or is most closely resembling Anne Rice and Rowan infatuated with Lestat asks him to turn her into a vampire as well, Lestat could only promise that after and if she outlived her husband he would, but til then she had a full life ahead of her, blablablah. The Vampire Chronicles version of \&quot;Let's just be Friends\&quot; or possibly something more? The World may Never Know!</p>

I am a bit behind on the Mayfair Witches books, lacking Lasher and maybe one other. I also gotta get Blackwood Farm. I will NOT be buying her books on the castratos, Cry to Heaven? nope. Hell no. And I think I'll skip out on her new christian books. Because yes, she'll be writing a book on Jesus. So? Unless Jesus drinks blood, blows people's heads off with a thought, flies, incinerates his enemies, and looks damn good in crushed blue velvet and leather on a harley, then nope. Already got one book on that Jesus, read it front to back, splendid tale.}</p>
 
<p>{Note: And I just bought LASHER and BLACKWOOD FARM! BF completes my Vampire Chronicles collection, and between my books and audionooks collection the Mayfair Witches trilogy is fully collected with LASHER. BF introduced Quinn Blackwood and begins that merging of the Vampires and Witches that concludes in Blood Canticle! LASHER from what I know now details Rowan Mayfair's trials tribulatoins and travels with her Taltos offspring in Europe while her family in the US copes and frets.}</p>

mean you weren't educational, you sneaky<br />
bastard. <br />
This QUIZ sucks Tailpipes! <br />
brought to you by Quizilla &gt;I tried for a Transformer, I really did, but the whoever who made this quiz must be one of those people, you know? Because in the 80s I do not even reCALL a GiJoe with dogfu grip. Then were the 3.75 inch tall articulated versions, with vehicles like the SnoCat and that bouncing bubble thingymawhatsit, which by the way was made more for making the enemy die of laughter I'd say. :) Plus, you quizicks, Where's He-Man?&lt; &nbsp;</p>

From:&nbsp;Stargoyle &nbsp;&nbsp;Aug-10 8:39 pm&nbsp;To:&nbsp;ALL &nbsp;Poll&nbsp;(2 of 16)&nbsp;&nbsp;1019.2 in reply to 1019.1&nbsp;*As interwoven as my childhood, my family, my heritage and or genetics is in the paranormal, the occult, the mysterious this should come as no surprise, but sometimes somethings still catch me by the befuddlements. And heck, the day you stop wondering is the day you stop living. ANd then maybe become A SHADOW PERSON! No jk lol but seriously. I've seen the fast moving humanoid shapes, raccoon to cat to rat sized scurrying flying things at night, and even paler forms. Now I'm not saying they were real, I'm just saying I saw them.<br />
Presently I chalk it up to exhaustion, or stress, or overactive imagination. My first out on my own security assignment was far up into rural north county and those were where the shadow shapes had a merry old time with me, starting out running across a road soundlessly as fast as a swung flashlight beam, but then later walking, standing, climbing a tree to wave at me from near the top, to finally walking right up to the hood of the car where I sat to surveillance, stopping and leaning over it semi dimly darkly transparent and then fading like an errant thought.<br />
Currently I guard a hospital, a very very likely place to see this type of thing. I see the smaller scurrying animaloid shapes, and around a certain part of the property a tallish pale shape resembling a woman in a hospital gown or nun. This hospital was founded by a sisterhood of nuns btw, and thre have been some people passed away on it's grounds. I caught one in sight last night and fixed it with a solid look not allowing it to fade from sight, inasmuch as I could possibly control that. But as it's face made less and less sense I dismissed it by looking away and letting my eyes lose some focus. <br />
A former guard of the site was a deeply christian type who believed all ghosts had to be demons, there were no good ghosts, and so this site didn't set well with him. He's transferred sites since he claimed I sent a spirit home with him, lol well maybe I did and but likely I did not. This entity leaned over him as he slept on the couch breathing coldly on him and from appearances resembled me. Couldn't have been though because I was at Work goofing off on cellphone games. Gods bless the christian perspective, silly savages lol.<br />
So III'm curious, sightings of these things have picked up all over the place lately and I was wondering if anyone else has seen any? What do you think they are? Interdimensional bleedovers? Terrestrial Energy beings? Ghosts? Demons? Anthropomorphic psychic residue? That eye brain condition the media and medicine have officially labelled this occurence caused by? I have some more information on these things and I do experiment on them when I THINK I see one, emphasis on THINK I see one lol. Mostly to test for reaction, ignore, watch, talk to, listen for, or other interactions.<br />
Quick outta the corner of your eye! Brrrr, the chills, it just ran past eh, spooky lol.*</p>

Before the Libraries discovered the Internet I was big on MicroFiche, reels and plates, for example I hit the gold mine on ghost history in Astoria once. A big part of their hauntings seemed to originate from a pipeline fire they had there that devasted many buildings there and the closure of a large mental institution in the area that left alot of people falling through the cracks on winter's icy pavement homeless. Getting a fix on your spirits' cause is great leverage too, as much as that can work.*</p>

From:&nbsp;Aqrn &nbsp;&nbsp;Aug-17 9:25 pm&nbsp;To:&nbsp;Stargoyle &nbsp;Poll&nbsp;(8 of 16)&nbsp;&nbsp;1019.8 in reply to 1019.2&nbsp;I have 3 significant remembrances of siting such sorts of things. Hrm. Nothing recent mind you! But I used to see things that I can't explain. <br />
First one was at a friend's house, pre-highschool, possibly in the year 2000, give or take a year or two. I had knocked on the door, inquired about the whereabouts of my friend, and was waiting for her to get her arse downstairs to play basketball with me. While I waited, I saw through the screen door a woman (walking waist deep in the floor), only I knew she wasn't there... At least not at the time I was there, lol. <br />
I very distinctly got the impression that this woman had been there at a time long before me. I mean, like, last few hundred years type deal. It looked like she was walking at ground level, more or less, and since the house was built somewhat up off the ground as houses do tend to be, she appeared to be walking through the floor as though the floor wasn't there, I assume because the floor was in fact not there when she was there. Anyhow, she walked a step or two and then I didn't see her again. I think she was off to wrangle up her children. <br />
This story I shared with my friend, and she was most definitely freaked out, seeing how there was a ghost (or something) in her house and all. And she claimed to have heard a sound on the stairs that she couldn't identify. I did not hear the sound. <br />
Second significant shadowy siting was sometime during highschool. 2002 or thereabouts. I was sitting in the cabin of a ferry, going out over some body of water which shall remain unnamed. And I saw a man going by outside, just sort of zooming by my line of site, several feet above the water. <br />
I can't be sure if he was in a boat, or if he was in a car sort of thing, but he was moving much faster than the ferry was moving. And I got the impression that this event was yet to come. I felt more like he was on a bridge or something rather than actually on the water. Could be that there's gonna be bridge there someday, hm. But yeah, he was there and gone in no time at all. I had the impression that he was on his way to or from work. Most upsetting sort of thing to see after a hard day at school. <br />
The most recent siting I can think of was during highschool as well, maybe year 2003 or 2004. I was sitting on the bus, which was sitting and waiting for another bus to drop off more students for the trip into the distant location where my school was. While I was sitting and looking out the window, I saw two men who were going to break into the house they were in front of, or had already broken in an finished their business, dunno! <br />
Of course, that was just the impression I got from seeing them. They were walking around through the car in the driveway, and I got the impression that the time they were in was somewhere near the time I was in. The house that they were in front of was the one that was there when they were there anyways. I looked away several times (I don't so much like feeling like I'm crazy, ya know?), but they kept hanging out there for quite some time before they disappeared. I felt like they were up to no good, but how would I explain something like that if I were to warn the people that lived there in the house?! \&quot;Um, yeah. I saw some people that weren't actually there, and uh, they're gonna rob your house someday.\&quot; <br />
Of course I've seen many many things just out of the corner of my eye, some shadow running off away from me, or some other dark shape slipping around the edge of my vision. But I haven't seen anything for several years now... I don't know what would have stopped that, but I thankfully feel a little less crazy. :) <br />

Then they vanish and I'm onto the next scene with one or a group of everyday looking people. I'll catch snippets of conversation without the images as well, going to sleep, some indecipherable, others a few words or a sentence, and some saying my name.

I never have any audio contact from what I see.&nbsp; The shadows would move as I watched, but the images of people are usually standing a few feet away, and it's if they are shy, I hardly ever see their faces.&nbsp; But: upon seeing them, I seem to have info on who they are, sometimes names, ages, and I can always remember what they are wearing (I wonder if there's a reason for that? lol).<br />
I have never followed this up properly with any sort of trying to work out or contact them, as I am generally a busy person and never know when one might make an appearance, but perhaps in the future I'll make time to study what's going on!<br />

Dream experts tell what the real meaning is behind our dreams. <br />
By&nbsp; Leanna Skarnulis <br />
Reviewed By&nbsp;Brunilda &nbsp;Nazario,&nbsp;MD <br />
Ever had the classic \&quot;examination\&quot; dream? You dream you're late for class and miss the exam, or you can't find the classroom, or you haven't studied or you studied the wrong subject. You panic. Upon awakening, you might dismiss the dream as irrelevant -- after all you haven't been a student for years. Or you may instantly sense how the dream reflects what's going on in your life. Perhaps the dream dramatizes how ill prepared you feel to handle a work project or reminds you to write a report you'd forgotten about. <br />
Most of us pay little attention to our dreams. The impression in western society is that dreams are the province of psychoanalysts seeking to unlock mysteries of neuroses and psychoses. But, in fact, dreams can be very useful tools for self-discovery and problem solving. It takes just a bit of practice to learn dream interpretation. <br />
Many books on dream interpretation contain a dream dictionary. Some common themes and their meanings are: <br />
Falling: insecurity, loss of control, feeling threatened <br />
Being chased: running away from your fears <br />
Teeth falling out: anxiety, losing face, concerns about self-image, inability to get a grip on something <br />
Being naked in public: feeling vulnerable, anxious about something that did or will happen, desire to be noticed <br />
Ocean: the unconscious, emotional energy <br />
Train: power, freedom <br />
Island: isolation, loneliness, tranquility, longing for independence <br />
Flying: desire for freedom, release of creative energy, transcending limitations <br />
Finding a new room in a house: <br />
discovering an aspect of yourself you weren't aware of <br />
Experts tell WebMD it's more instructive to understand dreams in terms of your own experience rather than to try to apply the meanings in dream dictionaries. Mark Freeman, PhD, who teaches a course on dream interpretation and uses dreams in personal counseling at Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla., suggests looking at the book called, A Dictionary of Symbols, by Juan Eduardo Cirlot, or The Secret Language of Dreams, by David Fontana, only after you've examined your dream and made associations between the dream symbols and your life. <br />
Gayle Delaney, PhD, a dream specialist in private practice in Mill Valley, Calif., is more emphatic about the place of dream dictionaries. \&quot;Throw them out,\&quot; she says. \&quot;They're the bane of all dream work. They've kept it in the dustbin of the intellectual mainstream. Yes, there are common dream themes, but no, they don't all mean the same thing.\&quot; <br />
Trends in Dream Interpretation <br />
Ancient cultures attached great significance to dreams as communication with God or prophecy or out-of-body travel. Much of twentieth century dream theory was influenced by three approaches: Freudian, Jungian and gestalt. Their differences are illustrated in the interpretations they would give to a dream about being chased. Freudians would say the dream represents a repressed wish to be captured and have sex. Jungians would say the pursuer represents a disowned part of the dreamer's personality that may need to be accepted. Gestalt theorists would suggest that every image in the dream represents some part of the dreamer. <br />
\&quot;Modern dream work has moved toward metaphor and problem solving, and people should stop trying to fit their interpretations to psychoanalytical theory,\&quot; says Delaney, author of seven books on dreams, including All About Dreams: Everything You Need To Know About Why We Have Them, What They Mean, and How To Put Them To Work for You. \&quot;If they describe their dream to five different theorists, they'll get five different interpretations.\&quot; <br />
Freeman, who uses dream interpretation primarily to counsel students regarding careers and relationships, tells WebMD most dreams compensate for skewed relationships to the outside world. \&quot;For example, if we're too nice, our anger and hostility can come out in dreams,\&quot; he says. He describes a woman who was so preoccupied with being pregnant that she neglected other aspects of her femininity. In a dream, she was at a party wearing a maternity dress when a voluptuous woman in a miniskirt approached and spilled a drink on her. \&quot;My client got very upset and angry in the dream,\&quot; says Freeman. \&quot;The dream was compensating for a lopsided situation in which she'd been too much into her maternal self and ignoring her femininity. Dreams can be self-correcting in that way, letting us know when we're out of balance.\&quot; <br />
Doing Your Own Dream Interpretation <br />
Both Delaney and Freeman use an interview approach with clients they say individuals can use to interpret their own dreams. Basically the interview unravels the dream metaphor to discover what the dream symbols mean to the dreamer and the dream's relevance to the dreamer's present day life. <br />
For example, Delaney's interview with a woman who dreamt she'd had sex with her old boyfriend, George, might go like this: <br />
Delaney: What is George like? <br />
Dreamer: Extremely handsome and dashing, but I couldn't get close to him. <br />
Delaney: Why did you break up? <br />
Dreamer: He was critical and kept me at arm's length. <br />
Delaney: Is there anyone in your life now who's sort of like George? <br />
Dreamer: I'm dating Michael. He's handsome and dashing, but he's blond. <br />
He's not at all like George. Last night before I went to sleep I tried to talk to him about our relationship, but he put his arms straight out and said he didn't want to talk about it. <br />
Delaney: So is there any parallel between the dream and real life? <br />
Dreamer: Now that you mention it ... <br />
Delaney says if friends told the dreamer that Michael was just like George, her subjective bias would prevent her from seeing the parallel. <br />
But subjective bias can be overridden in the dream state. \&quot;Dreams bring objectivity to everyday experience, and this dream revealed her unconscious pattern of choosing men like George.\&quot; <br />
\&quot;Dreams are pretty transparent, but most people never try to decode them,\&quot; says Freeman. \&quot;It's like learning a new language.\&quot; He teaches a four-week dream interpretation class and says when students begin, they view the symbols literally. \&quot;Dreaming they fell down stairs must mean they fell down stairs,\&quot; he says. <br />
The device both Freeman and Delaney use to get dreamers past the literal symbols and discover how the symbols act as a metaphor for what's happening in their lives is to have them describe the people, setting, mood, and actions in a dream as though they're talking to someone from another planet. They say dreamers can use the interview technique on themselves, and Delaney suggests questions you could ask if, for example, you dreamed about losing a purse or wallet: <br />
What is a purse or wallet? Pretend I come from another planet and have no idea what one is, why humans use them and what they carry in them. <br />
Why would a human such as yourself care if your purse was lost or stolen? <br />
How do you feel in the dream when your purse is lost or stolen? <br />

Dreams May Offer Emotional Support and Solutions<br />
By&nbsp;Miranda&nbsp;Hitti&nbsp;<br />
Reviewed By&nbsp;Brunilda&nbsp;Nazario,&nbsp;MD<br />

WebMD Medical News<br />
Dec. 23, 2004 -- The answer to your problems may be found in your dreams. During sleep, dreams may offer solutions to difficulties within a week after the trouble starts, researchers say.<br />
In a new study, 470 Canadian undergraduate psychology students recorded their dreams for a week. <br />
They rated how well they recalled their dreams, as well as their dreams' intensity, emotions and impact. <br />
The next week, participants took a closer look at their most recent, well-recalled dream. They noted any connections between the dream and events on a randomly selected day up to a week before the dream. They then rated both their confidence in recalling the event and the extent of the association between the event and dream.<br />
After that, two independent judges were called in. Their job: Review the dreams and related events, and decide whether the dreams incorporated solutions to problems stemming from those events.<br />
Dreams really do try to offer solutions, they concluded. The dream world apparently works quickly, churning out insights and advice the night after a triggering event, and also six to seven days later. They say that dreams serve social and emotional adaptive functions.<br />
\&quot;This suggests an ongoing effort to resolve a problem in dreams during the week following the emergence of that problem,\&quot; says University of Alberta psychology professor Don Kuiken, in a news release.<br />
\&quot;Something is going on up there that at least touches on and alters the resolutions that people come up with,\&quot; says Kuiken, who worked on the study.<br />
The solutions that surfaced after about a week were especially significant for women. There weren't enough men in the study to be sure about any gender differences.<br />
Other research has shown that men and women dream differently.<br />
For instance, young women (up to age 39) recall dreams more often than men of the same age. Women are more likely to remember their dreams after experiencing stress and to describe their dreams as more vivid, meaningful, and impactful. Dream content also tends to be different between men and women, say the researchers.<br />
The study appears in the December issue of the Journal of Sleep Research.<br />

Yeah, so... This one dream I had the other night, I was driving for the first time ever, and I was driving a standard pick-up. I was driving it around and around from Tim Horton's to the ferry dock right beside the Timmy's, and each time I went around, the line up of cars got longer, and I was getting really pressed for time for some reason. And I kept trying to get a $20 bill back in change for a $20 bill when I was buying stuff from Tim Horton's... Crazy, eh? <br />
Another dream, I dare not go into much detail, 'cause it disturbs ME enough, that I'm sure you all don't wanna hear it. Basic idea, I got pregnant (??!) by somebody I know, and he didn't want anybody to know, and neither did I, and he didn't want to have anything to do with it, and, well, it wasn't pretty. lol. <br />
I looked them up, and basically they're just saying I've got a lot of crap happening, stress, bumpy road kind of deal. Trouble! Nothing seems to be saying it's all gonna be okay!? AGH! <br />

Sounds good, right?! Unless I make some WRONG conclusion/decision... PAH! <br />
The driving dream: See yourself in the driving seat and it's a warning not to gamble for at least two weeks. <br />
Fine. <br />
Pregnancy &lt;cries&gt;: You are going through a hard time. For a girl it is an omen that others are going to help solve problems. For a woman, only patience can help you achieve your ambitions. <br />
19, can that really mean I'm, like, womanly? AM I A CHILD STILL?! Damn, I hate waiting! lol. <br />

This may be a desire to be rich, etc. If you are in the driver's seat, you feel in control of your life. If you are a passenger, you feel you are Not in control. {youre taking a backseat} If you dream of car crashing, it may represent a recent failure or fear of failure. <br />
Closest interp I could find for Preganancy was... Indigestion? Suffice to say the results were far from relevant or positive.*<br />

My paranatural life stories, dreams and realities. <br />
Current mood: peaceful <br />
Category: Dreams and the Supernatural <br />
Last night was full of weird dreams, but I didn't get to typing them up soon enough for memory to start taking out the larger details. Windup toy black cats with grenades inside of them being led onto the steps of churches by real life living cats. Grassy sidewalks outside of pristine penitentiaries filled with preachers ad superheroes. Music, explosions, ticking, musicbox melodies, some other stuff, it's all a blur, but I think I'm heading into another seasonal dreaming cycle, things get very interesting from here. <br />
Parapsychology is a branch of reading I've been into ever since I knew how to read and was told ghosts and psychic powers exist outside of comic books. Even before that I've been told I am from a psychic family, everyone seeming to have specialized or multiple abilities. But my Dreams remain weird.<br />
This one was from some time back but if anyone wants to take a crack at interpreting it? Go for it.</p>

I'm not good at interpreting dreams (if I was then maybe I wouldn't be so afraid of sleeping...) but the cats thing...that got me. Maybe you're frustrated with how people get other people who seem inferior to them to do their dirty work. Since it is a church that the negativity is directed towards, the church could represent causes and all beliefs. <br />
It could represent a frustration with people manipulating religion to fit their own needs. The toy cats are following the real ones blindly, they lose themselves and because they follow the ones manipulating faith, so faithfully, so blindly they end up destroying it. Though it's mostly the real cats' fault, the toy cats are at fault as well for not questioning what they believe is wrong; they could choose to not take the grenades and to not follow the cats. <br />
As for the subjects being black cats and not some other creature, some people are superstitious of black cats, so they could also represent fear. I'm going to use one of my favorite quotes \&quot;What you do not know, you will fear. What one fears, one destroys\&quot; - Chief Dan George.<br />
As for the preachers and Superheroes being in penitentiaries, I don't know. My mind is exhausted, I haven't slept for a few days.<br />
Let me know if I'm hitting the nail on the head or hitting your head with a nail. I was just going by first impressions.</p>

From:&nbsp;PSioniKman &nbsp;&nbsp;9/24/2006 10:20 am&nbsp;To:&nbsp;ALL &nbsp;(1 of 4)&nbsp;&nbsp;970.1&nbsp;Hi, i have been interested in Psi ability for some time now, i have read quite a few books and have my own theories on how things work...im not saying im a true telepath in the 100% sense, but quite often i finish peoples sentences and can predict things...it doesnt work at will but when im relaxed and in an intuitive frame of mind pretty weird things can happen, almost in a druidic sense.<br />
If Anyone would like to discuss Psi ability or recount strange incidents, please do so here.<br />
I firmly believe that all of us ( human or otherwise ( animals included) ) have abilities that have yet to be charted scientifically. I hope one day that science will seriously except that there is more to life than the physical reality we exist in. Some of us know there is more than that here in our universe or indeed multiverses.<br />
So please feel free to share your thoughts ( too late i know what your going to think ) (j/k)<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Ill start with one of my&nbsp;experiences.:-<br />
Im sitting down one evening, i think of talking to my best friend jake, i go and pick up the phone and press the on button, i go to hear the dialling tone before tapping in the numbers ....i dont hear a dialling tone..i say hello and then jake answers..cool huh...but what was rreally cool is that he hadnt dialled any numbers himself...both of us had wanted to talk to each other, but yet neither of us had keyed in our respective numbers...we just connected. For me, i have heard of plenty people saying \&quot; oh i was just thinking about you when you rang\&quot; pretty normal...but what about when nobody types the numbers??? <br />
thats just for starters...<br />
Please post<br />

My family's kinda woodsy ScotsIrish with a pretty decent psychic history, seeming like each person specializing in something or multiple abilities, which do get better under training. I've only honed the crude rudimentary animal sensories. Some intuition or is it into wishin? Clairaudiency, and the ability to guage thoughts and emotions and intent by body language and travel, movement, patterns. Truth sense. Something I cal the LifeForce Scan, just releasing my mind like captured light all around me, t detect of someone or something might still be in a building. Smell, touch, hi and lo frequency hearing, night sight. But I can't predict the future or read someone's deepest thoughts on command. I know that's the copout some psifolk would use, but it's true, it happens best when it's let to happen. Sometimes it for me has to get curious enough to peer outta it's cerebral den and sniff the air of its own volition. There are a few abilities I play around with, time killers, but in my line of work I truly do have too much time on my brains. And the possibilities do seem limitless, but there can be overload, moodswings, anxiety, depression, stress, introversion, and ultimately medication. I don't think Humans were really meant to live in such hundreds in so little space, lol. Some of it's Psi, some of it's just coping with my new condition, but all of it at least keeps me on my toes.*</p>

Im interested in your, what you call animal senses....can you tell when its going to rain for instance, or when something bad will happen?<br />
I also have animal empathy, that is connecting with all kinds of animals. I find that when i am relaxed and my cat is asleep or just chilling and i am tuned in with her, my auditory senses are much raised. As if i am channeling through her.<br />
I also believe that what people nowadays term synchronicity is in fact psi in origin, but that origin may be in fact be the universes conciousness acting....anyone have any thoughts on this? or wish to share any psi experiences with us...<br />

Could be me, I could be good old country common sense. Most of it is knowing the senses are there, and paying attention, over time they'll train themselves. Avoiding Danger usually takes the form of anxiety possibilities, when a closeby future event days or minutes ahead of me, well it doesn't tell me what's gonna happen, just do things a bit differently, go a different route, avoid a type of person. I've had em as recent as seconds before, so I Could see what was causing it, driving through an intersection seeing a person in a red porsche I KNOW Runs red lights and is reckless, and perhaps not now, but sometime certain they will kill someone. I just can't be bothered to check the news often to confirm any of this. Synchronicity rules, but then I was already gonna say that, it was fated, lol. Animal telepathy, I got a real strong rapport with a cat I've raised from a squeeking newborn, I can tell when he's so much as ThInKiNg about Trouble. The other cat, who's mildly retarded, hates me, and was not raised as early by us, is a blank slate, like reading a pet rock, Psychometry's the only way to go there, lol. C'mon people, does any of this ring a psychic bell with ya?*</p>

It was opening night at the theater and The Amazing Claude was topping the <br />
bill. People came from miles around to see the famed hypnotist do his stuff. As Claude took to the stage, he announced, \&quot;Unlike most stage hypnotists who invite two or three people up onto the stage to be put into <br />
a trance, I intend to hypnotize each and every member of the audience.\&quot; <br />
The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a beautiful antique pocket watch from his coat. <br />
\&quot;I want you each to keep your eye on this antique watch. It's a very special watch. It's been in my family for six generations.\&quot; He began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly chanting, \&quot;Watch the watch, watch the watch, watch the watch....\&quot; <br />
The crowd became mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth, light gleaming off its polished surface. <br />
Hundreds of pairs of eyes followed the swaying watch, until suddenly it slipped from the hypnotist's fingers and fell to the floor, breaking into a hundred pieces. <br />
\&quot;Shit!\&quot; said the hypnotist. <br />
It took three weeks to clean up the theater. <br />

Anyways, I learned Hypnotism at an early age, inspired by comics and cartoons. Started with Animal Hypnotism, I used a technique that works on rabbits on my cat, had it so deep under, it seemed Dead, then I did something Real mean! I suddenly stood up and it slid off my lap, bonked her head, and ran off, totally confused, LOL!*&nbsp;<br />

&nbsp;&nbsp;The Power of Positive Thought <br />
MonotarRach <br />
My most favourite quote in the entire world was something my grandfather used to say so i have no idea if it was his or from somewhere else... <br />
If you don't MIND it it won't MATTER <br />
in other words always mind the good stuff and make that bigger cause the more you focus on it the more real it will become...leave worries be they can't help, tis not their function after all... if you feel the need to worry make it the best kind so it can MATTER make it huge make it real MIND only happiness and good things into existance and if we ever work out how, we can cancel out all the bad stuffs <br />
Metaphorm <br />
I know from living with my New THought/Religious Science reverend of an Aunt that there's actually a working principle thought of there. <br />
New thought is actually a faith based on that, putting God not as an anthropomorphosed entity but more like a life force/Energy form, like \&quot;The Force\&quot;. <br />
THought&gt;becomes Energy&gt;becomes Matter. <br />
What you think and feel even subconsciously has a frightening amount of control of what happens in your life and environment. <br />
People, places and things you know and experience could all have roots in your thinking patterns. <br />
MonotarRach <br />
The hardest part is not allowing other people to intrude on the 'positive' thought so unless you can guarantee that they will hold true to the outcome you require it is usually best to keep it to yourself...the other one to watch out for is 'be careful what you wish for it just might happen' so framing the intent is very important... <br />
Metaphorm <br />
Quickly on the mental principle of magic, before my mentallity vanishes magically for the day and i hypnotise myself to sleep. <br />
SHamans, Mages and Mystic's powers and ultranormal abilities were actually boosted by faith in their abilities. <br />
We even had something like that in teh New Thought Churches caled faith healing. a person would submit a slip of paper into a box to be picked up at random by another person who would meditate on it, knowing in turn that the problem they submitted was being prayed on by soemone else. Little secret though, not all those requests got to other people, but the conditions improved, the problems solved, despite the lack of assistance. SO it turns into a question of the source of power, the root of change, always within the self. <br />
It aint just God that helps those who help themselves, a person has to be willing to be helped in order to be helped. <br />
Additionally psychic control groups have succeeded in concentrating all their energy into actually inducing poltergeist affects, simply through their faith in themselves and eachother, they created an atrificial lifeform out of nothing. <br />
Makes ya wonder about the roots of some Gods? </p>

<p>{What's meant there is a civilization scale mass consciousness manifestation on the psychic level amped up to God level, we creating God in Our image.}</p>

*This one is the first sighting of the 6 - 7 foot tall pillar of humanoid grey smokemist known as Sam. Tall and longnecked with his only recognizable features being just a pair of almost solid lookingsounding boots and glowing orbs within the front of his faceless head. I was only just on my first year of life, but crying like someone at that age does often. Mom and Dad debated who'd get up and attend to the screaming kid, when it was decided they both would. Oddly I stopped bawling and my crib was already being attended to, by a tall grey foggy figure bent over the sleeping form of the me. It's hand seeming placed on my forehead, but upon being noticed by the stunned parents at the door, it slowly turned it's glowing eyes head to them, stood up and vanished, either by wakling through the wall, or just fading. Sam makes appearances later onin life, stay tuned.*</p>

The first people I saw that weren't there were, like, these two people walking around inside of a friend's house. I'd gone over because my friend and I were going to play basketball, and while I was waiting (she was over to the right of the door) I saw a woman and a child walking off to the left, and up the stairs. They came outta nowhere, and they were walking kind of sunk into the floor, like they were walking on the ground under the house. They disappeared quickly, and my friend was creeped out when I told her that I had seen two ghosts walking through her floor. <br />
I got the impression that they were \&quot;there\&quot; before the house was. <br />

*Sam's next dramatic appearance was on a stormy night, after the story before this one was told, plus one involving a sighting involving broad daylight, and my stepsister seeing a solitary pair of boots leaving the kitchen heading outside. So, our heads fulla ghostiness, me and my brother nutty imaginative kids sure enough saw Sam appear from behind a tree, slowly walk across the yard, stop, and look at us, chilling us both to the bones, and then proceed to walk around to the back of the house. We sure enough ran to the back door window to see if he made a full circle, but it seemed he was done being visible for the night. One other Sam story I was told by both mom and my bro was just one instance of my brother oversleeping once and winding up grabbed by the ankles by some force and dragthrown off the bed. Telekinetics were introduced at an early age I guess. Had me and my brother practicing trying to move objects with our brains all day. Well More later, Sam's story just about wraps up here, with but one more notable submission.*</p>

\&quot;Sam, part 3, the farewell sighting.\&quot; <br />
Okay, as a teenager, on his bike on a dark country road pretty buzzed and what I call Between Parties, from one to the other, ya know. It was that ideal time of type of spooky night that recollected at me those long ago ghost stories told to me. So I figured, wtf, noone can hear me anyways. Here goes. \&quot;Alright Sam, you ghost thing, if you were ever real, appear now, I dare ya.\&quot; Nothing. I shrugged it off, played it cool, but was partially disappointed. An about 9-10 foot yellow \&quot;S curve\&quot; sign was glowing with the light of a reflected streetlight it caught my attention because just then something walked in front of it. Something tall, but something you could see the sign Through! It clumped across the road in a few easy steps, and I decided just then one party was enough for the night, and did a U-turn on the bike, headed home and eventually got some sleep in.* <br />
{Now for some background on Sam. Sam worked in the Navy, and or was possibly an ancestor or family guardian spirit. He died by hanging, hence the height and long neck resultant from his decomposing body stretching out loosely as it hung. Why he died was he was caught cheating on his wife, and she had somehow hung him or got him hung, or he hung himself, it's kinda iffy how anyone can Hang anyone who's unwilling. But that's it for the Sam stories I think. I say Stories be cause they can all pretty much be explained away t nothing, but around a campfire, on a dark spooky night, Sam can live forever.}</p>

The Texas Ghost Lights Conference<br />
\&quot;Ghost Lights of Texas\&quot; Under The Spotlight At Conference<br />
Mystery Orbs To Be Discussed<br />
<a href="http://snipurl.com/dtq3">http://snipurl.com/dtq3</a><br />
Dateline: Monday, April 4, 2005<br />
By: NICK REDFERN<br />
By: Phenomena US Editor In Chief<br />
The Texas Ghost Lights Conference<br />
The Marfa Lights in West Texas and the Bragg Light of the Big Thicket, Texas have inspired<br />
countless legends of restless spirits. But there is a growing body of evidence that, far<br />
from being mere curiosities, or the stuff of folklore, the Texas mystery lights constitute<br />
a genuine scientific anomaly.<br />
Whether they are called fireballs, ghost lights, spook lights, earth lights, or mystery<br />
lights, these unexplained spooky luminosities are surprisingly numerous. Lights of unknown<br />
origin are known to recur in specific locations in North Carolina, Missouri, California,<br />
Washington, Louisiana, and Arkansas. Ghost light locations in the British Isles, Norway,<br />
Japan, and Australia have also been extensively documented.<br />
Investigators regard the lights as a little understood aspect of the earth's<br />
electromagnetic energy field. But they could be a global phenomenon of paradigm-shifting<br />
significance. They sometimes behave peculiarly, as if they are interacting with human<br />
observers like curious animals. This may be why the ancient Celtic peoples regarded the<br />
lights as fairies, and why the shamans of some cultures sought out the locations of the<br />
lights as entrances to the spirit world. Recurring ghost lights could hold clues to a<br />
dimension of Nature that is rarely even suspected in the modern age.<br />
Texas is likely to play a key role in emerging earth mysteries research. According to<br />
Japanese physicist Dr. Yoshi-Hiko Ohtsuki , there are more sightings of mystery lights in<br />
Texas than anywhere else in the world.<br />
On June 11, Natural Awakenings - Austin, with the association of Anomaly Archives, will<br />
present \&quot;The Texas Ghost Lights Conference\&quot; from 2:00 - 8:00 pm at the First Unitarian<br />
Universalist Church at 4700 Grover in Austin. You will learn the latest about this curious<br />
phenomenon from four leading authorities on ghost lights, complete with photographs and<br />
video displays.<br />
Renowned British author, lecturer, and broadcaster, Paul Devereux, is an experienced<br />
researcher dealing mainly with consciousness studies and ancient sacred sites. He is the<br />
author of Earth Lights Revelation, Fairy Paths &amp; Spirit Roads, Re-Visioning the Earth, and<br />
numerous other scholarly articles and books. He will explain why the lights have much to<br />
teach our physicists and remarkable lessons to teach all of us.<br />
Nick Redfern is the author of the books, A Covert Agenda; The FBI Files; Cosmic Crashes;<br />
Strange Secrets; Three Men Seeking Monsters; and the forthcoming Body Snatchers In The<br />
Desert. He is the US Editor of the newsstand magazine, Phenomena. Nick has uncovered<br />
intriguing official British Government files on unidentified luminous phenomena and ghost<br />
lights that date back nearly a century, and will be discussing this never-before-seen data<br />
at the conference.<br />
James Bunnell is the author of two books on the Marfa Lights, Seeing Marfa Lights and<br />
Night Orbs. He is an aeronautical and mechanical engineer and retired in 2000 from BAE<br />
Systems as Director of Mission Solutions for U.S. Air Force Programs. He will present a<br />
fascinating video slide show of photographs taken from two monitoring stations he set up<br />
that illustrate his contention that the Marfa Lights constitute a deep-rich-fascinating<br />
mystery that never ceases to amaze those who take time to investigate.<br />
Rob Riggs is the Editor of Natural Awakenings - Austin, the author of In the Big Thicket:<br />
Exploring Nature's Mysterious Dimension, and contributed chapters on unexplained phenomena, ancient mysteries and the Texas Ghost Lights in Weird Texas, to be published later this year by Barnes &amp; Noble. He has appeared on Art Bell's Coast to Coast and numerous radio shows discussing the ghost lights and other mysteries of the Big Thicket.<br />

I fear that I must admit that I don't believe in bigfoot, or the loch ness monster, or other things of those sorts. Ghosts, are questionable, but I don't know what I believe concerning the afterlife. UFOs, aliens, I really don't believe in, but I don't believe that it's not possible that there are other lifeforms out there in that infinite universe thing, lol. <br />
Hrm, but I feel better not knowing everything about the world. For one thing, it'd be scary knowing what's out there, or what happens when you die. For another, life would be incredibly boring if there was nothing left to the imagination. Life's better lived when there are mysteries to ponder over. :) <br />

Another thing I wanna add here just in case they didnt, was these are also known by some as Will o' the Wisps, another glowing phenomenon associated with ghosts and fairies. Also some related study on this would be St. Elmo's Fire, Ball Lightning, stuff like that, it's a fine line between superscience and actual paranormal happenings here.*<br />

*Whew I thought this one was gonna turn into one of those controversial morality debates, not that I'm not UP for one, but sheesh. But, imagine if you will, in the future say. Ghosts being recognized officially by the scientific community, gaining citizenship, bought sold traded and used for labor. It's either far out or its far off. It's all up to chance I say. Now if you'll excuse me, my poltergeist housemaid's taken to flinging plates all over the place again, those wild urges of her's are taking forever to grow out of.*</p>

I can speak for myself here they are freaky when they decide to show themselves...I have had multiple instances of seeing people that have supposedly 'passed on' leaving themselves to freak me out...I know this cause i have made some unfortunate squeaky noises when they appear... <br />
One in particular that stays in mind is my daughters Great-Grandmother checking her out when she was only 6 weeks old...I actually thought it was her father (waking from sleep at the time) until i realised that the moon was shining 'through' the person...this was my indication that she came in love because i felt in no way that my daughter was under threat from her...didn't stop me from being freaked that i saw her but at least i didn't scream <br />
Metaphorm <br />
That's nice of her to check in like that, but totally expected. <br />
Grandmothers are just neat that way. <br />
Both my Grandmothers are no doubt checking in on the us family from time to time. In fact think could ask almost anyone in my family and they'd agree and maybe even have experienced that effect. <br />
MonotarRach <br />
Yep Grandmothers do do that...my mother used to keep Marshall occupied for hours and she had crossed over about 2 years before he was born. She tried showing up in my dreams as solid and i ( ) did scream...kinda unnerving to have someone that close turn up...weird too since other peoples family don't seem to affect me the same way <br />
Metaphorm <br />
Must be something akin to a carrier signal frequency that can induce various reactions.., <br />
I'm sure she didnt mean to \&quot;spook\&quot; ya, but her signal pitch, so to speak, must have been turned up a little too high for the bearability matrix to withstand. <br />
Oh oh brb more info for ya.., <br />
on dreams.., <br />
The Mother/Grandmother Archetype in Dreams represents someone who nurtures you in real life or may b even the nurturing side of yourself.&nbsp;</p>
 
<p>{Rach, back in the day used to be fun to talk to I'm remembering, before her mind got outta hand. I must have a bad effect on women sometimes, internet phormones lol. But fun converses, debates, agreeances back then.} :S</p>

Scary stories <br />
Tales to put the fright in your Halloween night <br />
by Heather Moylan <br />
In this issue: <br />
Good &amp; bad ghosts, <br />
Five urban legends <br />
Even if your trick-or-treating days are distant memories, you can still get your thrills this Halloween thanks to these haunting tales. <br />
Ghosts, the good and the bad <br />
\&quot;He's like Casper. Nothing he does ever hurts anybody.\&quot; That's how one employee at the Toys R' Us in Sunnyvale, California, described \&quot;Johnson,\&quot; the friendly neighborhood ghost who haunts the store. <br />
Skeptical? Just go by what dozens of witnesses, a handful of newspaper reports, several séances and the TV show \&quot;That's Incredible\&quot; have claimed. Reportedly a ranch hand in the 1880s at the current Toys R Us site, Johnson bled to death from an accident just after his lover left him. Now in the spirit world, he kills time by turning on the water when ladies are in the bathroom, bouncing balls down the aisles, throwing toys from the shelves and teasing cleaners with a teddy bear. But all his hijinks are harmless, says one employee. \&quot;It's a good ghost. It's fun here.\&quot; <br />
Another \&quot;good\&quot; ghost story claims that victims of a Salt Lake City crash between a school bus and a train in the 1940s now patrol the tracks, pushing stalled cars to safety. In a similar tale, New Jersey's paranormal enthusiasts claim their state has \&quot;Gravity Roads.\&quot; On one, stopped cars will be pushed backwards by the spirit of a girl who died on her prom night at an intersection close by. <br />
If only these spirits were all so sweet. One of America's best-known ghost stories tells the tale of the Bell Witch, tormenter of the John Bell family in 19th century Tennessee. The ghost was reputedly the spirit of Kate Batts, a neighbor of the Bells who was bitter over a land squabble. She vowed on her deathbed to annoy the family once she arrived in the after world. <br />
Tennessee's 1933 guide book said the Bell Witch \&quot;threw furniture and dishes at [the family]. She pulled their noses, yanked their hair, and poked needles into them. She yelled all night to keep them from sleeping, and snatched food from their mouths at mealtime.\&quot; <br />
When word spread of their supernatural houseguest, the Bells were visited by hundreds of tourists, including future President Andrew Jackson who reportedly faced Batts' wrath as well when she poked and pulled at Jackson and his men. <br />
One source quotes Jackson as saying, \&quot;I'd rather fight the British in New Orleans than to have to fight the Bell Witch.\&quot; <br />
5 urban legends <br />
Be afraid, be very afraid! These are some of folklore's more frightening tales. <br />
Alligators in the sewers — Back in the 60s and 70s, parents returning from vacations in Florida would bring their kids baby alligators as souvenirs. When the pets grew too big, Mom and Dad flushed them down the toilet. But instead of croaking, they colonized and mutated thanks to the toxic sewage. Underground workers are often faced with gaggles of angry albino alligators. <br />
Check the backseat! — Driving on the highway at night, a woman grows increasingly alarmed as the car behind her moves in closer and repeatedly flashes its lights. When she gets home, she darts from the car expecting to outrun the other driver but he's in hot pursuit yelling, \&quot;Call 911!\&quot; Turns out he could see the silhouette of a knife-wielding man rising up out of the backseat of the woman's car. Every time he flashed his lights, the killer would duck back down. <br />
Watch your back — and your organs — A business traveler meets an attractive woman at a bar in Las Vegas. The next thing he knows he's waking up in a tub of ice, with a tube coming out of his back. When the paramedics arrive, he finds out he's the latest victim of \&quot;organ harvesting\&quot; and his kidneys have a new home on the black market. <br />
Killer jacket, man — A week after buying a pricey new fur jacket, a wealthy woman feels pains in her neck. When a doctor inspects, he sees a bite, presumably from something poisonous. Unbeknownst to the wealthy woman buyer, her new fur jacket was home to a deadly snake, sewed into the lining. <br />
Aren't you glad you didn't turn on the lights? — Once upon a time there were two studious college roommates, Maggie and Jane. One night before finals, Maggie went to the library and Jane stayed at home. When Maggie pops back in late at night to grab some supplies, she keeps the lights off so as not to wake her friend. The next morning, Maggie returns to find her dorm room surrounded by police. On the wall is written, \&quot;AREN'T YOU GLAD YOU DIDN'T TURN ON THE LIGHTS?\&quot; Apparently Jane was being killed just as Maggie came by. <br />
Scary stuff, huh? Well, we should tell you most of these are hoaxes.</p>

Back From the Grave<br />
An old man and woman were married for years, even though they hated each other. When they had a confrontation, screaming and yelling could be heard deep into the night. <br />
The old man would shout, \&quot;When I die, I will dig my way up and out of the grave and come back and haunt you for the rest of your life!\&quot;<br />
Neighbors feared him. They believed he practiced black magic because of the many strange occurrences that took place in their neighborhood. <br />
The old man liked the fact he was feared.<br />
To everyone's relief, he died of a heart attack when he was 68. His wife had a closed casket at the wake. After the burial, she went straight to the local bar and began to party as if there was no tomorrow.<br />
Her neighbours, concerned for her safety, asked, \&quot;Aren't you afraid that he may indeed be able to dig his way up and out of the grave and come back and haunt you for the rest of your life?\&quot; <br />
The wife put down her drink and said, \&quot;Let the old bastard dig. I had him buried upside down.<br />
*Now, Brb, I got some checking-on to do.*</p>
 
<p>\&quot;OmfgD where AM I? GET me Back!\&quot;</p>

I said that incubi are entities that attack women (men also, okay!), which would probably make them male-like entities. Therefore the succubi would be the lady sorts that attack male sorts.

&quot;27&quot;;&quot;2&quot;;&quot;<p>'Cry To Heaven' by Anne Rice  is a well researched historical novel. I would have to say from a time when Rice was at the height of her writing powers. Don't let the fact that is about the castrati scare you away. Many of the castrati were sold  involuntarily by their families and were not gay. They were in fact the rock stars of their day. Well read the book to find out. </p>

<p>Check here for some reader reviews on Amazon.com.</p>

<p>A friend from awhile back I converted into a Rice reader called it Squeel to Heaven lol. I admittedly haven't read it yet. Think I'll library it first. There's a show about them too I think, called The Sopranos. </p>

<p>I'll add in some good ones I at least got to hear on Audiobook. Servant of the Bones, and Violin. Random House does good stuff, books I can listen to on the job, convenience lol. Tim Curry reading Taltos, Alfred Molina reading The Vampire Armand, etc.} :B</p>
<div class="sig">{Shade Happens!}</div>&quot;
&quot;27&quot;;&quot;4&quot;;&quot;*I got a chance to look briefly at Anne Rice's newer stuff, and I was disgusted. The Messiah Chronicles really stinks. Starts out with Interview With The Jesus, as told to the Disciple Jacob by a vampire named Moses. Then The Vampire Jesus, details his rise from the grave to become a christian rock star. Moving on to Queen Of the Damned, a short novel 5 pager involving some poor damned gal who had to wash Jesus' feet with her hair. Afterwards we move on the Tale of the Gift of the Magi of the Body Thief, a body thief steals Jesus' body but returns it for some silverware and candlesticks cause he's a putz. Jesus travels to heaven and hell in Devil The Devil and comes back completely unimpressed lol. Side books now come into play with The Vampire Noah, Moses drinks the red sea in Moses The Vampire and back on track the aptly named Blood And Gold, Judas the Vampire being paid 30 gold pieces and a gallon of blood to NOT have a story published about him. We begin wrapping things up with Blackwood Manger, where the fledgling Joseph and his vampire bride Mary, or Blood Cant...i.. ... man do we run out of absurd material quick these days. When's Anne Rice gonna return to darkness? She had the whole Religion thing nailed down, only to fall back into the limited naive view of things all over again.*

Reports of bipedal canines or wolflike beings on the east coast are being filed under more cryptofiles. In fact, yes the Quebecer term for them is Rugaru I think? Which is a degraded form of Loup Garou, word for werewolf, but Rugaru is their name for Sasquatch! Could maybe use some correcting, I'm a bit rusty still lol. And like waaay off topic.] (fail)

Northern Exposure was a quirky, surreal, character-driven American dramatic-comedy television series. It was originally broadcast by CBS between 1990 and 1995, in 110 episodes spread over six seasons. The show was set in a small, remote (and fictional) town called Cicely, Alaska. Thematically, the show began as a "fish out of water" motif with a driven Jewish New York City physician coming into conflict with the laid-back and quirky populace of the Alaskan wilderness. As the series progressed, there were a number of sub-plots involving the town residents, with occasional drifts into existential themes.<br />

Main characters<br />
<br />
Most of the story arcs during Northern Exposure's six year tenure were character-driven, with the plots revolving around the intricacies and eccentricities of the citizens.<br />
<br />
Original cast<br />
Joel Fleischman (played by Rob Morrow) was the central character and was depicted as a young, New York Jewish doctor who was contractually bound to practice in the remote Alaskan town of Cicely for four years in order to repay a student loan from the state. The comedy centered originally on the clash between Fleischman's neurotic urban mindset and the individual, easy-going and community-minded people around him. As time went on, the show focus shifted to the quirky characters of the town. Morrow left the series at the beginning of the sixth (and final) season with hopes of establishing a motion picture career.<br />
<br />
Maurice Minnifield (Barry Corbin) was a patriotic ex-astronaut and millionaire entrepreneur. He had arranged to bring Dr. Fleischman to the town which previously had no physician. Determined to make tiny Cicely the next boomtown, "the cusp of the new Alaskan Riviera," Maurice was the owner of the local radio station KBHR and newspaper, as well as fifteen thousand acres of local land.<br />
<br />
Chris Stevens (John Corbett), an ex-felon, was the disc jockey at KBHR, who interspersed the music of his morning show with musings on the nature of life and readings from such philosophers as Walt Whitman, Leo Tolstoy, Carl Jung and Maurice Sendak (Where the Wild Things Are). Chris is also Cicely's only clergyman, ordained through an advertisement in Rolling Stone.<br />
<br />
Maggie O'Connell (Janine Turner) was a fiery, independent, yet somewhat neurotic bush pilot and was originally a debutante from a wealthy Grosse Pointe, Michigan automotive family. A recurring theme within the series was how Maggie's former boyfriends died in bizarre accidents. She has a very strong love-hate relationship with Fleischman.<br />
<br />
Shelly Tambo (Cynthia Geary) was a young beauty pageant winner, "Miss Northwest Passage," brought from Saskatchewan to Cicely by Maurice, who hoped to marry her. Shortly after her arrival she met and fell in love with Holling Vincoeur. Shelly nearly became a bigamist when she almost married Holling, having previously married her schoolmate Wayne Jones, a hockey player, so that he would stop asking her.<br />
<br />
Holling Vincoeur (John Cullum) was the sexagenarian ex-hunter who had given it up and became the owner of 'The Brick' bar and restaurant, where he lived with Shelly. Born in the Yukon and later becoming a naturalized US citizen, he was best friends with Maurice until they fell out over Shelly. His father and grandfather both lived over 100 years, spending most of their lives as widowers despite having married much younger women. Fearing the same bitter fate, Holling forswore love until Shelly appeared.<br />
<br />
Ed Chigliak (Darren E. Burrows) was a mild-mannered, amiably tactless half-Native American foundling with a IQ of 180 who worked odd jobs for Maurice. A film buff and would-be director, Ed learned everything he knew about life and the outside world from movies, especially those of Woody Allen. He was a Shaman-in-training and was occasionally visited by his invisible spirit guide, One-Who-Waits, and by his personal demon, Low Self Esteem, who resembles a leprechaun. Ed wrote, directed and produced his own film about Cicely.<br />
<br />
Ruth-Anne Miller (Peg Phillips) was the septuagenarian owner of the general store. A widow, Ruth-Anne lived alone until late in the series when she becomes involved with retired stockbroker and then bear-trapper, Walt Kupfer.<br />
<br />
Marilyn Whirlwind (Elaine Miles) was Fleischman's receptionist and serenely placid, Buddha-like dispenser of native wisdom and common sense. A comic study in contrasts, Whirlwind rarely spoke while Fleischman rarely stopped talking.<br />
<br />
Sixth season additions<br />
Following the departure of Morrow from the series, two additional characters were introduced:<br />
<br />
Phil Capra (Paul Provenza) was Fleischman's replacement as town physician after his predecessor took to the wilderness. A refugee from the urban hustle of Los Angeles, Capra was more gracious than Fleischman in a small town setting, but was even more hapless.<br />
<br />
Michelle Schowdowski Capra (Teri Polo) was Phil's wife. She worked as a reporter on newspaper owned by Minnifield. When he started applying editorial pressure, she decided she preferred waitressing at The Brick and had visions of Fleischman's rabbi, Schulman.<br />
<br />
The show wound down in the last season, with the lack of genuine clashes that marked Fleischman's many conflicts having been exhausted and the departure of Morrow from the series marked a precipitous drop in the ratings.<br />
<br />
Guest stars<br />
William J. White was Dave, the Native American cook at the Brick.<br />
<br />
Richard Cummings Jr. was Bernard Stevens, Chris's "half-brother and spiritual doppelgänger." Chris and Bernard's relationship extended beyond that of merely half-brothers, as they also had shared dreams, emotions, and thoughts. The characters share the same birthday and birth year, making them "twins" despite having different mothers, one white and the other black. The characters' father was a "travellin' man" whose double life was exposed only after his death.<br />
<br />
Adam Arkin (son of Alan Arkin) was Adam, a misanthropic gourmet chef who may or may not have worked for the CIA in the past, which reveals how he knows so much information on everyone. Adam seems to have a chip on his shoulder and immediately provides an offensive rebuttal to anyone who compliments him. Valerie Mahaffey won an Emmy Award in 1992 for portraying Adam's hypochondriac wife Eve, an heiress to a tungsten fortune. Eve and Adam spent part of each year as jet-setters and part as near-hermits in a cabin near Cicely.<br />
<br />
Anthony Edwards was, for a brief time, the hyper-allergic lawyer Mike Monroe, who came to Alaska to escape the pollution that gave him multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS). Maggie O'Connell, attracted by his strength of character, encouraged him to come out of his airtight house more often, and they briefly became a couple. In an apparent inversion of "Maggie's Curse", Mike's symptoms suddenly vanished, whereupon he left to join a Greenpeace ship at Murmansk.<br />
<br />
Grant Goodeve was Rick, Maggie O'Connell's season one boyfriend, who died at the end of the second season when an errant satellite fell on him during a camping trip.<br />
<br />
Graham Greene was Leonard Quinhagak, the native medicine man and Ed's mentor.<br />
<br />
Diane Delano was Sergeant Barbara Semanski, an Alaska state trooper and love interest of Maurice Minnifield.<br />
<br />
Floyd Westerman was One-Who-Waits, Ed Chigliak's spirit guide, the ghost of a long-dead chief.<br />
<br />
Moultrie Patten was Walter "Walt" Kupfer, a salty trapper and love interest of Ruth Anne Miller.<br />
<br />
Thematic and Technical Details<br />
The cast of Northern Exposure: (left to right) Holling, Shelly, Maurice, Maggie (front), Marilyn (back), Joel, Chris, Ed<br />
Northern Exposure's flavor came from a combination of various influences: the show’s creators, Joshua Brand and John Falsey, were members of the Esalen Institute in California where an eclectically "spiritual" worldview was presented, best exemplified in the writings of Swiss psychologist Carl Jung and American anthropologist/mythologist Joseph Campbell (whose works are frequently referenced in the series). There are also fantasy elements inherited from the novels of Carlos Castaneda and, on a higher level, the magical realism works of Latin American author Gabriel García Márquez. Both creators were also conversant with classical Russian Literature. This characteristic is evident in the satirical elements from the show that are hallmarks of the Russian literary grotesque style of such authors as Gogol and Dostoevsky.<br />
<br />
The show made frequent use of dream and fantasy sequences and other dense imagery. There were many similarities with the television program Twin Peaks. In episode 5 of the first season, there are multiple references to key elements of Twin Peaks, such as cherry pie, coffee and the The Log Lady character. The scenes were shot using music similar to Twin Peaks and the same slow, ethereal direction and self-consciously obtuse dialogue popularized by David Lynch.<br />
<br />
The main street of Cicely and the filming location was actually that of Roslyn, Washington. The Roslyn vicinity is actually being developed as the large, master-planned resort of Suncadia. Moosefest was the annual gathering of Northern Exposure fans held annually in the town of Roslyn.[2] Declining attendance made the 2005 edition the last "official" one, but there is currently talk of a reunion Moosefest in 2008.<br />
<br />
Prior to producing Northern Exposure, Joshua Brand and John Falsey created the popular television program St. Elsewhere. Series producer and writer David Chase went on to produce, amongst other things, The Sopranos.<br />
<br />
Trivia<br />
<br />
In Spain, where the show enjoyed remarkable success and a cult following, the show was called "Doctor en Alaska."<br />
<br />
Paul Provenza was originally hired to take over the role of Dr. Joel Fleischman, who had been played for 5 seasons by Rob Morrow. The difference in their appearance was to be attributed to a new haircut, with Maggie O'Connell commenting, "it suits you." This idea was rejected to avoid alienating Morrow's fans. So re-writes took place, and Paul Provenza became a new character, Dr. Phillip Capra.<br />

evil, and in his homeland, yet! You come with<br />
lots of neat accessories, including the One<br />

the Wraith. You also have on more foundation,<br />
blush and lipstick than a drag queen at Mardi<br />

From:&nbsp;CryptoKnight &nbsp;&nbsp;1/31/2006 4:19 pm&nbsp;To:&nbsp;ALL &nbsp;(11 of 11)&nbsp;&nbsp;117.11 in reply to 117.10&nbsp;[It's like having multiple great outfits to wear, a few great functions to attend, and time energy to be at only part of one of them, dressed as one of them.<br />
But the news is good today, on top of having my CryptoKnight self back and functional, I clicked onto LOTR Middle-Earth War and my character transfer has been approved, but I thought I'd be happier.<br />
See I got so used to having just Shade to be in and recently waiting for Brew and Boost that LOTR was a guiltily forgotten obligation. I suffer under this delusion that I'm somehow Needed there. Truth is my phone's so damn slow I couldnot wouldnot play there under the level of capability that BigFoot is now, tried it, died died died died it. Nooo funnn. <br />
The old plan was to get the Shade character up to a nice comfy semi-respectable level 13, and then fade, taking a final tour through all the games, LOTR, Mech, Bots2Rumble, and stubbornly wait for Brew like a protester laying in front of a tractor, but instead a protester sitting in the tractor I guess, refusing to get out until it's fixed and drivable.<br />
Losing track of analogies here, but you get the point!<br />
I'd be of very little use there going as slow if not slower than BarnCat would in say Shade, but there's obligation. There's soem big doings and updates going on there now and I am considered one of the big brains of LOTR Lore and theories etc. <br />
I'd probably be restricted to the Shire area of eastern middle earth, the towns of Hobbiton, Grey Havens and Belegost, and the one big weird pointless cave in the middle. But I'm content there!<br />
Brew is a technology that's somewhat like Java on celphone, faster smoother and all than WAP Web Access Protocol, Boost is a Phone company and brand of prepaid phones that run faster smoother and all than this overteched bogged down LGvx6100 I'm crawling around as now. <br />
So when left with little to no choice I can adapt easily and be relaxed within it, but add but one appealing option and I'm mentally gridlocked, lol. <br />
I lead a pretty self sufficient clan in Shade, they have to be, their leader's not made of time and resources, but I'd still feel like a low slug for leaving them, plus other close pals and allies. Boost would PrObAbLy assure me another one or two good years of faithful Shading but to what end?<br />
Maybe I'm thinking out loud, maybe I'm asking for advice that I'll probably not follow and end up doing my own stupid ideas anyways, maybe I'm doing both.<br />
I'd been Middle-Earthing it for almost a year before I heard of Shade, I'd subsisted in glazed plate mails, elven silksteels, spiked irons and burlies for so long I KNOW the value of the \&quot;old school\&quot; and it'll take you to at least level 9 in relatively good time and shape. Great Scims of Uruk and DragonBlade Swords were to me the primest critter splitters I'd haveused then.<br />
Well, more later, looks like it's time to go fret this out mentally at work.]</p>

Hint on this area: If you're good and fast, make a run right south, get yourself some prime gear, but don't take anyone else's stuff. Someone standing next to a gear pile most likely killed for it and may yet do so again. Once you reach that killable level don't be hanging around Bree anyways, as that's the first place some folks so to get an easy Pkill.<br />
Hobbiton<br />
Hobbiton's nice, fun too, slightly better gear and the same southern comforts, as in running sounth and looking thru gear piles to get equipped up some more OR save some of about the same gear for spares incase you lose your current set. Critters here are:<br />
Giant Rats<br />
more Boars<br />
Giant Bats, and all around out of range are giant spiders and soem humanoids down south, don't get surrounded.<br />
When running south you'll notice a bridge. Crossing it will put you south of Bree, a good route to take if you're quick and stealthy.<br />
Gray HavensNice kinda remote getaway town, training your ranger and mage skills is always easier and safer to do at first, when you're away from people to keep from sticking or splashing someone else.<br />
Critters around GH be:<br />
Minor Trolls<br />
Giant Spiders<br />
Boars<br />
For fun, try heading further west and south, trust me, it'll pay off well if done right.<br />
Belegost<br />
A beautiful city, decent riches and exp here, and tucked away far from most of the nonsense of the higher populated areas.<br />
Elf Scouts<br />
Elf Archers<br />
Rogue Dwarves, thieves, wolves and some raiders.<br />
A swoop south, then east, and north leads you to the road t Hobbiton, but heading right back up the side of the mountain you wakled around might lead to some fun adventure. <br />
Carn Dum<br />
Seems this is a place of black magics, dark spells, and intense battle. It's maybe a bit of a task getting up there, but hey, it's often worth the run.<br />
Trolls, Fighter Trolls<br />
GrizzlyBears<br />
Thieves<br />
For high power, low splash and mana spells, think Mr. Yuck, lol. I know silly hint, but I tried. <br />
Forrving<br />
Don't come here unprepared, this town looks at danger from all sides, but sometims Danger is good, especially when training up to be just as or more dangerous than teh locals.<br />
Mercenaries, raiders, slave traders and Thieves.<br />
GrizzlyBears<br />
Trolls, Fighter trolls.<br />
Forrving's western reaches is rarely travelled, it might be worth seeing whatever could be hidden over the mountains. <br />
Mordin<br />
This one was recently introduced to me by a contact, after months of living in 8-town hell, a light on the horizon! Mordin, might be kinda like Mordor in the movie, unless there is a Mordin. At any rate there is one here.<br />
UrukHai, Orcs.<br />
Stone Golems<br />
Elf Assassins and maybe the other two types, its been awhile, lol.<br />
If you've ever wanted to dress as tough as an Orc, check the shops. To the south a cave can be seen, but head east and a little north and you'll see a reason to \&quot;speak Friend and Enter\&quot;. <br />
Rivendell<br />
The shops here are awesome, this is as far as I've ever gotten, townwise but it's pretty nice, sparse hunting unless you don't mind a commute.<br />
Fighter Trolls and<br />
uhhh..,<br />
Some Elves?<br />
South, a hop west, and back up north again will take you to the same cave that a sprint from Bree would. Fight hard.<br />
That's my list of meager knowledge, never been to Lothlorien or Eisengard, but plan to see those places someday. </p>

I only recently got here, yeah I know, I'm pitiful, LOL! We took the Moria route too, what a rush. My next task is to find out if there's a way to get to Isengard from there, because going back the way I came might be sure death. \&quot;back... the way... I came...\&quot; <br />
'Cause otherwise, I'm kinda stuck at Loth, but that aint too bad, the shops there sell some of the top gear you'll see worn by the top players and those they've sponsored.<br />
But pleeease don't beg, getting all the good gear, getting bored with the lack of challenge and adventure, and eventually fading away isn't any fun. </p>

Re: *Spoilers In:[World]*of Middle-Earth!<br />
Recently visited two towns, sad, I've been at this a year off and on, but I've never been to these places!!<br />
Forland, the LOTR Twin of Goomy Vale, teh best-drawn city in either game, detalied spooky, yesss.,<br />
Minor trolls!<br />
Giant Spiders<br />
Boars, and maybe a few other things.<br />
Nogrod, and be sureto journey up north, you might find out one oftheplaces where other players have been getting all thoseneat toys.<br />
Boars and Rats, giant ones, the rats, not the Boars.<br />
Giant Spiders<br />
Minor trolls and maybe one or two other little suprises<br />
I say Maybe a few other things, because other critters will migrate in on your tranquil killing fields from neighoring locales, so be prepared to kill anything. Btw, does anyone else know there's a Goblin Overlord? He drops abotu the same kinda things the Goblin King does and is about as easy to kill, but Adventure is where it's at, and I seem to be living in caves lately..., </p>

Re: *Spoilers In:[World]*of Middle-Earth!<br />
Caves and Dungeons<br />
In the world of middle earth, if you are tired of the top side journey, then try a cave or a dungeon.<br />
Middle Earth has 6 /cave/dungeon adventures.<br />
South west of Hobbiton, or from Belogost its south and counter clock wise around the mountain, is the \&quot;caves of Belegost.<br />
This cave is very good for the begener person wanting to use his ranger weapon. Its full of cave spiders trolls and mine wolfs. It has 3 fun filled lvls. <br />
At the end of the 3rd lvl is a bridge that is blocked.<br />
Back about 2 years ago this area was open and had mercs in it and went to a 4th lvl. but alas it has been blocked of since. ** so possible an update spot**.<br />
Nogrod<br />
This town and cave is west of Forving. Go west to the mountains and then go north and all the way around counter clock wise with the mountain and this will lead you do Nogrod. then North of Nogrod the cave of Nogrod. It has 4 long and twisting lvls. ***spoiler alert**** if you want to find you own way then dont read this, but if not here goes the lvl map to cave at Nogrod<br />
Legend (N)=North, (s)=south, (w)= west, (e)= east. all directions are to the first n,e,s,w ,unless spesified other wise.<br />
1st lvl<br />
N to dead end. W, S, W, N, W, S all the way to end... E all the way to ladder.<br />
2nd lvl<br />
N, take first road that leads to W... N to wall, W to wall, S to wall, E to wall,S,W and then a SW jog to ladder.<br />
3rd lvl<br />
N, take 1st E, 1st N, 1st E, then N at the 4-way intersection , all the way to wall. W to wall, S to wall. Jog to the SW then S to the ladder.<br />
4th lvl, by far the simples to travel, but now you hav harder monsters to fend of. dwarf rogue captains, they are the same as the Mercs.<br />
E, 1st S to wall, E to wall, S,E,N to the big mammo jamma, as Xyloc likes to put it.<br />
Now unless you hav over 120hp i sugesst you dont go into this room. This room houses the Dwarf King. He s at the top of this room and look like a crab,so b carefull.<br />
Carn-dum<br />
The caves of carn-dum are East of town. the monsters you will face are alot of troll fighters and mercs and dark elven archers. the cave is the gobblen king cave. very simple.<br />
Bree<br />
Bree cave is east ot bree over bridge, you will find mercs dark elven archers, and fighter trolls.<br />
this cave has two lvls. dont i repeat dont goin2 cav unless you are a lvl 9 or higher you will not even survive lvl 1. At the end there is a king. i forget his name.<br />
Mordin<br />
From Mordin there are two dungeons. to the south east is the Ancient dungeon. ok dont go into this cave unless You are a lvl 11 or higher. there are smaglings at the ladder that use a spell called soul grip that hit (if you wearn all night shade gear)for 65 to 70, and then there is the tail swip that hits for the same. Then there are young dragons that do the same. To kill a smaugling takes at least 3 ppl and 3hours. and this cave is full of them,. You have been warned!!!!!!!!!!<br />
Mines of moria are north east of Mordin, this is 7 lvls of excitment, with yes you geussed it, the mighty Balrag at the end.<br />
This Has been a rough run down of the middle earth caves and dungeons, but dont take my word for it, go explore for yourself </p>

Re: *Spoilers In:[World]*of Middle-Earth!<br />
Isengard<br />
Before Lothlorian this was the town you had to go2 if you wanted the Bladed staff of Kryyn and the steelwood staff.<br />
This town is not worth getting killed over. The trip to Lothlorian takes 10 xs as long but you will survive the trip. you prob wont with Isengard.<br />
If you want to go to say youve been, its south of mordin and a little east, go all the way to the water then east and town is in-a-nook-and-cranny. or a dogleg if you will.It offers Assassins and young dragons, fighter troll, and mercs and urki so happy hunting </p>

Re: *Spoilers In:[World]*of Middle-Earth!<br />
Another **spoiler** is on the subject of Leveling up.<br />
Leveling up is hard work it easy when we are young players. but as we get older it gets harder.<br />
Ok from Levels 1 - 11 it takes the preveuse lvl to add 4 your next lvl. simply level 9 for example comes around 78,000 to 80,000. to get the experience needed for lvl 10 add your 9 exp by 2.5 and you get ruffly the next exp,so here goes<br />
9 - 78,000 80,000<br />
10 - 180,000<br />
11 - 457,500<br />
12 - 1,155,000<br />
Now for levels above 12 it only takes 650,000 to 700,000. and i say only because after lvl 12 exp comes alot ez er.<br />
Ok for lvls above 20 yes i said level 20. <br />
Level 21 foward it takes a base of 6,000,000, thats righ 6 million to get lvl 21 . and about 1 -2 million more for each lvl after so lvl 22 would be<br />
21 - 6,000,000 Now that 6 mill is added on the exp you already hav, so if you hav 6mill dont think you should hav lvl 21.<br />
22 - 7,000,000+<br />
23 - 8,000,000+<br />
Thats why if you go2 shade and look on the experience leader board, the top person is G3, He has ruffly 28,650,000<br />
and he s only a lvl 26.<br />
This is why you must keep playing and playing and playing. <br />
Look at it this way heres a simple way to play if you dont hav much time to play. play for as long as it takes you to get 10,000 exp. a day or only to 2-5,000 aday while you are young. I can make 10,000 exp in about 2-3 hours. If i were to do that for 30days theres 300,000 exp rite there. or 3,600,000 a year. So this is what im trying to do.<br />
so once again happy hunting. </p>

Re: *Spoilers In:[World]*of Middle-Earth!<br />
Verrry detailed! Think I Can wait on Eisengard, though it Is the last town that I've never been to yet. <br />
Back when I was at a jobsite prone to random interruptions by nosy supervisors and occasional employee uprisings I hunted close to towns, this was before I refined my Logouts, a run or two from any town and grabbing up as much exp as ya could during was the name of the game. Had me feeling territorial though, someone else coming in and hunting out \&quot;my\&quot; territory, cleaning out all the prey, or even a known troublemaker in the area did force me to move out though. </p>

Re: *Spoilers In:[World]*of Middle-Earth!<br />
Orc King, I thought it'd be called Orc Overlord, like with the Goblin, but nope, Orc King. Waaaay east of Bree across the bridge and a few runs north. I'm remembering this, as the former leader of {ORC} Clan, that to finally kill this world's version of the Orc King felt weird, lol, but good! Very good. </p>

Armorings? Here we go, what I know of is:<br />
Leather, hahhhh, as a 3rd generation Bikerkid, Leather's excellent, Light, heavy, studded hero, etc etc, but face it, it's still leather, no need for living low, unless you're a low level.<br />
Elven Mails, Plate or Chain, it's worth it's weight in gold and worth it's gold in protection. Kill Elvis, oops Elves, lol, for this one soem towns sell it too, but those take somelooking, and exploring is the best part of the game.<br />
Mithril! Holy hecka cool, Mithril anything, yesss. Kill Elves for it, er \&quot;npc\&quot; Elves, Player controlled elves wearing this stuff will kick your ass in for trying it. Not suggested. <br />
Elven Steel armors, brilliant blue steel and ifit's anything like Elven Steeljade Armor, it gives some magic protection and boosts progressive healing time,the rate of which you recover HPs w/o healing.<br />
Assassin's Armor. Well it's stealthy seeming and just might be that next step below Nightshade in protection.<br />
Speaking of Nightshade, the feel of being a living shadow, encased in premium armoring, hwaaaah. First time I saw this worn I thought someone had killed a Ringwraith for it. and that got me thinking, hmmm..,<br />
White Elven armors, Someone told me these can be gotten off the Dwarf king too, but alone that Squat nearly killed me, 30 points of ouchie with hurling war axes. Scroodat, I took off, I Ran, I'm a coward, WAAAH! These can be bought without donating blood to the soil though, players or stores.<br />
Glazed Plate Mail IS the best protection money can buy in the more widely known towns, but a little traveling, if you got the right moves, can get you better, but you probably should be wearing this when you try it.<br />
Further than this it's the basic gear nobody wants to hear about and the other gear everyone's curious about. <br />
But few are thought of as deserving.., Dont let that stop you from getting your own though, onward and upward, find it, earn it, wear it and kill more stuff to wear more stuff.</p>

The intersting thing about certain armor, is that they work well with certain races. For example the elven blue steel works great for elfs. I wore this armor for the longest time. <br />
Until the night shade came along.<br />
On the subject of the Dwarf king , he only drops 4 things. Some are more common than others. The king only drops two things at a time, Mithril shield is the most common one droped , and a weapon either the Heroic Hammer of Cleaving, or the Herroic Bow of protection. The shield is great , the weapons are nice to look at ,but they sloooooooow. The rare item he drops is the Mithril Helm. The helm is one of the key items in the game. You can only use the shield with a sword or one handed weapon, but the helm you can wear all the time. </p>

&laquo; Reply #4 on: Mar 9th, 2005, 1:03pm &raquo; A quick note on buying and selling gear. the price at the shop is the price. when you sell something to the shop you get 1/3 of the price value. <br />
So lets say you but a foil at shop for 285,000. when selling it back to the shop you will only get around 115,000. So for thing that you get when killing a monster for example the dragon blade sword, the shop will give you 4,350. whether you are buying from someone or doing the selling, its not unheard of to sell this for 4,350 - 12,000. the shop price if sold in one would be 13,150.<br />
Also I have been know to give a pick up fee. for example if i go to lothlorian for someone , say for a wizards staff, and the shop price is 385,000. Im going to charge and even 400,000 for going to get it.<br />
On the matter of selling to the shop. <br />
All shops sell stuff for the same price, except the town of forving which buys stuff back for a little more gold.<br />
Now on iteams that come from super monsters like the Dwarf King, you may pay what ever the sell wants.<br />
Items from the Balrag generaly are not for sell<br />
as well as the items from the ancient.<br />
Theses are so hard to come by, than we hord them. and if they are sold, it would be at a very high price. I sold a mith helm for 1,000,000. Lol then i bought my Mith broadsword for 2,500,000.<br />
So dont be shocked when in the market for new gear. </p>

&laquo; Reply #5 on: Mar 9th, 2005, 8:21pm &raquo; There's alot of aggro over the lower levels wearing full mithril these days. And when ya think about it, it's for good reason(s). This stuff's running rampant in Shade. Erh, list mode...<br />
...engaged! Okay well for starters.<br />
It's too tempting to hunt way above your level and take crazy risks, therefore losing your gear and whining about not being able to go into the hell you died in to recover it. <br />
Or hunting At your level with your boosted advantages, there's a risk of becoming bored and losign interest in Middle-Earth then fading from the scene. Myself I don't see this happening to, I love overkill, I'll unleash Dragon's Breath on rats and bats for the fun of it, but Middle-Earth needs its players to keep the goodies coming so dumping prime gear on some junior spaceman has that risk going to it.<br />
You're Pkiller Bait! That's right, they will not only kill you for fun and exp, they'll kill you for cold hard cash too. What other critter in Middle-Earth will drop so much good stuff for so little effort? <br />
Too much of that'll stunt your growth. <br />
You'll develop far more valuable skills and abilities that no amount of gear will equal. It's true, I spent over a year in my different chracters barely wearing anything much above Elf and Mercenary gear and that was all I could and would supply any Clan Members I had at that time too. <br />

Re: Weapons: Great Scimitar of the Uruk'Hai!<br />
What's more hilarious than a Hobbit using a Great Scimitar? I mean this darn sword's taller than I am! I have to lift it over my head, balance it, and let it Drop in my enemies, lol! <br />
Seriously though, it's a great onehanded fighter weapon, causes up to what... 21 damage on most da critterz and can be gotten from CaveTroll cave, and other players, excellent beginner weapon! </p>

Re: Weapons<br />
My Fave Weapons:<br />
Assassin's Katana of Darkness, killing a Dark Elf Assassin gets you this fast furious and lethal weapon to carve YOUR own path in the world. A decent midlevel choppa.<br />
Great Scimitar of Uruk, oops Scimtiar, lol, C'mon Cosmic, return to LOTR to at least correct some spelling mistakes, otherwise this weapon's [Damn] fun, nasty and can be gotten off the breathing-disabled UrukHai Generals.<br />
Assassins Longbow, fun fun fun til the server takes my hp away. This little puppay's got a long reach and a hard smack to it for those long distance ™&thorn;çªßs. If you can make it to Lothlorien and back you can keep this.<br />
Bladed Staff of Kryyn? Oh definitely! I'm putting mine to great use for up to 18 - 22 damage on the critters, thanking my saving the gold up and seeing Loth for this new friend of mine, lol.<br />
Burly swords, short and long, the building blocks to many of my character's developments, when allowed. I paddled upstream thru a current of Cave Trolls with this serrated beauty.<br />
Elf Swords, the long and short of it, is that they Are fast, not as fast as a foil, but they will tide you over and get ya by through alot of the surfaceworld's menaces.<br />
Black Mithril Foil, if it's anything like the Black Pearl Demon Foil in Shade, it's a keeper. It's high speed devasting flesh cleaving goodness in a lightweight package that goes well with black armoring, if nothing else, for fashion!<br />
Wizard Staff? I'll take a guess at this one since I dont got one, but my low intelligence does remember that it supposed to raise your intelligence and or mana mage thingies, Next on my shopping list, but... Heaven Can Wait, as they say.<br />
Heroic Hammer of Cleaving, another dandy on my shopping list, at least to try out is this two handed strength enhancing monsterpiece, a piece you can pick up after chopping up the Dwarf King!<br />
Iron Fist, like OMG! There's a Goblin King here too? Overrrlord, okay. Well I stocked up on these hardhitters after killing Overlord about 8 times over, left a few around Bree for the newbies, not likely to still be there, kept one for myself, as a novelty item, because for a weapon, it's fast, but it's weak, not hitting for any harder than 6 hp. My Rat-punching era lasted 12 seconds exactly before the onset of disappointment.</p>

<p>REDS0NJA <br />
Site Wizard [Admin]<br />
Re: Weapons<br />
The heroric hammer of cleaving and the bow that the dwarf king also drops, they are more for looks. They miss most of the time and dont hit for much.<br />
For you young players the great scim is the best weapon. then if you can save enuff gold, invest in a foil.<br />
There are better weapons, you just cant buy them. There is a Mithril cutlas which is aweosome, but you have to kill the Balrag or the ancient dragon to get one. They both hit for balrag 79 to 180hp, ancient 98- 220hp.<br />
The mack daddy of all one handed weapons is the Mithril broadsword. it the rarest item in the game. You can hit assassins for 25hp. <br />
so keep playen hard and dream bigg </p>

Spells: [Mage] / [Healer]<br />
Okay okay last post of the day, gotta show some restraint here eh? <br />
Figured I'd open up a thread on Spells too. <br />
As you're starting out, when you get some decent money from picking enough of those \&quot;(o)\&quot; things, get yourself one or two of each kind of spell. <br />
For enhancing game play, you can either diversify OR theme you spells to your character! {Ex: Player \&quot;Arsonist\&quot; buys all Fire spells, while \&quot;Frigidar\&quot; buys all the ice spells he can find.} </p>

Re: Spells: [Mage] / [Healer]<br />
HEAL THYSELF!:<br />
Minor and Greater Healing, something to do between battles, adds hp lost and healing exp gained.<br />
Dark Gift, kinda like Greater Heal, but might not be as good, cool name though, Anne Rice fans known what I mean. <br />
Soul Devour, Debt of Life, Martyr, hp exchange spells, my life for your's, your life for mine, Healing spells can be tricky, crafty, and gives one a survivor edge. <br />
Mana gift, gifts 30 mana to a target, helps refill the ammo for your nearby spell caster to blast magic for even longer. Aherm, they reduced the exp gained for using this one, so gifting yourself or even anyone else, will only get you occasional appreciation.<br />
Didnt there used to be a Resurrect Spell or is my memories sliding again?</p>

Site Wizard [Admin]<br />
Re: Spells: [Mage] / [Healer]<br />
Lol no resurect spell(i wish). One kewl thing.. dont want to spoil it for someone, but with the soul devour. this spell can be used to kill monsters. if you know how many hit points a monster has, lets say a mercenary has 250hp. you use your sword to hit him for 240hp and then use you soul devour for the last 10hp or so,you will get the bonous exp to you hearler. <br />

Re: Spells: [Mage] / [Healer]<br />
I'm sooo behind the learning curve for this game, having been self taught from the beginning, and learning other stuff the hard way. <br />
First learned of the killshot bonus for spells when I ran into Roguemyn outside of Mordin way way back in a previous life, fighting an orc, so I figured a show of goodwill by helping her kill it would be good, but nope, lol, I got asked kindly to not help, that she was levelling her mage and healer. The shade board has a spoilers list for spells, giving the basic text descriptions for each spell, but I'll have to have the CatDrgN send it to me, ]Cobalt['s not registered over there. In fact, lemme know what this board could use and I can snap right onto it. </p>

Samsung-a650, horribly uglyslow little freak, spent more time in Sending))) than it did really Doing anything.<br />
LGvx6100, outstanding communications device for telephone calling and WAP chatting, the t-9 word function is off the scales fr typing speed. Lost connections and dropped calls with both though kinda keep i balanced out and real, real frustrating. After all is said and fun it'll live on, being communications ONLY, and a fallback option for some upcoming long awaited BREW content.<br />
Now for the Later! This the Motorola i450 with nextel er Boost prepaid! I'm using it to infiltrate a wellknown clan in Shade currently, but once I get the BarnCat character transferred to it, that cat will frikkin FLY!<br />
Btw, Verizon as a whole, as a TelCo. I forgot to cover them. I'm not satisfied, they're pricey, brutal and the strongarm tactics of redoing what They feel you should have access to are not what I consider user friendly or customer service. The 2.0 Browser leaving you with the choice of crumbs of the former wap world, and the monthly costs of their equally boring but more colorful BREW content in GetItNow are not really doing it for me. The contract ends in under two years, after that, unless things dramatically change for the better, we might be going Nextel.<br />

Sacred Texts&nbsp; Evil&nbsp; <br />
THE HISTORY OF THE DEVIL AND THE IDEA OF EVIL FROM THE EARLIEST TIMES TO THE PRESENT DAY by PAUL CARUS [1900]<br />
This massive work on the history of evil, particularly as symbolized by the Christian devil, was written on the cusp of the 20th century by Paul Carus, who wrote such other books as 'Buddha, the Gospel'.<br />
At that point in history it seemed apparent that evil would soon be eliminated by the onrushing forces of rationalism and modernism. The devil had been reduced to a literary character, always ready to make a silly bargain for a soul. This trivialized image is perpetuated to this day. Satan in the cinema is either represented as a hideous special effect or a comic, bumbling trickster. Long gone is the noble adversary of Jehovah, as portrayed in the Bible, Milton or Dante. <br />
However, the 20th century brought total war; genocide; death camps; nuclear, biological and chemical weapons; mind control; double-speak; ecological destruction; and finally indiscriminant mass terror. Evil was back and it was unmistakable. No wonder that opinion polls in the United States show that a large proportion of the population believe in the existence of the devil.<br />
EDITORS' NOTES: First of all, before you fire off any angry letters about this book, please keep in mind that the title of the book is not 'We Worship Satan'. Secondly, the book was lavishly illustrated, and it took a lot of work to get the images compressed enough so that these pages would load effectively on the Internet. So please accept my apologies for the dinky images. In any case, I hope you enjoy this ebook, which was an extremely difficult production job. -- J.B. Hare. </p>

<p>{Dis be a Claimer: I'm not trying to be a Devil's Advocate, I'm just the kinda guy who dares to question the majority accepted order of things, in that way I am like one of the earlier versions of Lucipher whose only sin was to dare to question God, now if free thinking is evil, I'm Evil. But think of it this way, good was represented by the lamb, small innocent stupid naive accepting and quite often slaughtered as is often re-VEAL-ed, lol. Evil was the beast, the lion the dragon, whatever, that was wild and free and uncontrolled and perfectly capable of defending itself and to maybe threaten someone else's power or at least to take away their illusions of security. Now what does religion rely on, followers, keep the population dumbed down and controlled. Hence one definition of Evil was the rogue lone wolf outside the box of society thinker that threatened the order of things. How many of us wuold be defined as Evil because of this? Is it now time for a Redefinition of Evil? As if that could ever be universally agreed on, but that lamb part of me I guess still lives in hopes and idealisms, lol, and the lion is thinking Hmmm I'd better make lunch or I'm gonna eat the first troublemaker I encounter at work, lol, sooo, seeya in a whenever!}</p>

<p>(Add't'l: Another favorite, a discussion on there even being religion at all. My thinking that all religions become mythologies with the passage of time, that religion is more outdated and destructive than many will admit to, that we're perfectly capable of being ourselves because of ourselves not from holy or diabolical forces. But seriously, why are we still praying for rain?) :/</p>

I think we have a section somewhere on esoteric astrology, if I have the wording right, well a thread article on it. An old aquarius buddy Jojara did the research up on it and to me it proved esoteric enough to almost elude my comprehension, lol. Thank gods she had it down enough to do some interps. It was like a soul energy form astrology. I think I'll do a search for it and revive it for viewing again. Where did it go where did it go.*</p>

<p>From:&nbsp;Mulsknr1 &nbsp;9/19/2006 1:20 pm&nbsp;To:&nbsp;Stargoyle &nbsp;&nbsp;(3 of 11)&nbsp;&nbsp;964.3 in reply to 964.2&nbsp;You know?&nbsp; The bible&nbsp;says&nbsp; there is no&nbsp;spirit, &nbsp;that which&nbsp;lingers around after death. no voices of loved ones from beyond, except for&nbsp;that of god, his old self. Anything to the contrary is surely the work of the devil. He who first took the shape of a serpent, when he spoke to eve in the garden. It specifys That when a mans soul leaves his body it toileth not. Nor does it&nbsp;perform&nbsp;earthly tasks, or take part in pleasure of life here on earth. And Also that,&nbsp;until the day christ returns to gather the righteous and ascend to heavan to live eternally. None of this running around and soaping windows and rattlin chains or what have you. So I guess if you hear voices you can be sure it is god or some other human or animal&nbsp;posessed by the devil who is playing tricks on you? Just say no to spiritualism . Thats what I always say. lol<br />

However , Like the constitution of the united states. i am always amazed out how the bible when&nbsp; followed in principle, seems to quash alot of these things, before they even have a right to be, of course you obviously must respect the institution&nbsp;to begin with. but you have to say which came first the chicken or the egg, and it makes you wonder what the hell was going on before they actually wrote the law, that inspired them to&nbsp; put it down exactly the way they did.&nbsp; In other words , ( which may not help you either ) I had a simple recipe for berry wine. it was so simple that you had to come up with ways to complete the steps of the process. it didn't describe the tools or the vessels to hold the wine or anything, basically just ingridients and time frame. And as i worked thru the process i can't imagine writing it any other way. and the product is great. and the depth of the instructions had no meaning until I actually was in the buisness of making the wine. But any more or less instruction may have just confused the issue I think. kinda what i am doing now.</p>

Actually I'm drinking store bought wine, which means I'm letting someone else dictate to me how wine is made, and doing it for me afterwards, but still charging me for it. Church! It tells you all about it's god, gives me the rules, and then asks for tithes. That's why I guess I became a microbrewer? microprayer? for home made from scratch religious principle, lol. I'll browse ingredients true, but in the end it's what works for me, the tried and true to myself approach that makes for a better wine, or religion, wine is the blood of christ anyways, evidently he's already Been through all this.*</p>

<p>From:&nbsp;Mulsknr1 &nbsp;9/20/2006 8:03 am&nbsp;To:&nbsp;Stargoyle &nbsp;&nbsp;(9 of 11)&nbsp;&nbsp;964.9 in reply to 964.8&nbsp;Amen, lol I am not trying to convert you, And I agree organized religion misses the mark in some cases. I think&nbsp;there needs to be a leader on any team, and when church recognizes itself as a community, It must unfortunately recognize the outsiders as such. I guess my question is&nbsp;How can we derive peace from these berries. so that we can all party. I am about to sound like a democrat here, get ready. And I guess it is about celebrating our common ground, and not our differences. I guess there are always going to be those you as a person&nbsp;relate to more on this earth. People&nbsp;who share the same ideals. Unless you just want to be the king? and start your own world.&nbsp; How can&nbsp;anyone stop people from hating&nbsp;Them for&nbsp;their&nbsp;differences? How can you keep them from being frighted or insecure because of the things that don't make sense to them about your beliefs? How do you keep yourself and others&nbsp;open to new ideas, and explanations with out being provocative? i guess it is a lost cause in some cases. &nbsp;I Think most people say what you said, And it is the constitution that says it&nbsp; as well , freedom of religion. <br />
&nbsp;I think the devil is in the process that people start which intentionally provokes&nbsp; the differences and shines the light on the differences. usually&nbsp;as a means to an end.&nbsp;but I have to admit, (and without stating it clearly,) sometimes i look at a people of a group or \&quot;kind\&quot; and wonder if my observation&nbsp; if what i am seeing as a difference, goes much deeper than what i can witness. Is there something that I am not seeing that could become a danger to me or my family?&nbsp; I can't know everything. No man is an island, And god bless the child thats got his own. becuase the whole concept of civilization is based on working together as a team. and fear will only take you back to the cave. A life of constant fear.\&quot;&nbsp;Nothing to fear but fear itself, and all that Jazz\&quot;. &nbsp;So I conclude that maybe every religion misses the mark. <br />
Maybe the devil is in religions who don't promote figuring out what god is for yourself? That doesn't mean there aren't alot of good rules to go by when you consider how we should all behave in order to get along. Like rinse off your plate before you put it in the sink. If you use the last of the toliet paper put on a new roll. wipe your feet when you come in out of the wet&nbsp; freshly cut grass. But this is not religion.&nbsp; The constitution&nbsp; proclaims a clear distinction between church and state.&nbsp; I think&nbsp;I have observed;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is where you have a problem along with most people, with religion. maybe you had a bad experience. where you felt isolated or out of place in that community or maybe you don't agree on an intellectual level. I don't know. Where and how can a&nbsp; common or univerasal church provide the perfect conditions for&nbsp; every individual &nbsp;person to worship. I would guess everyone could have there own Ideal. There would be a lot of churches. I guess that just makes the point that everyone does and should nurture there own relationship with God. All of that assumes you are free. free to choose your own religion.&nbsp;Of course freedom is a vague term. I am not sure I believe in the obvious&nbsp; definition of freedom anymore. However,&nbsp;No matter how oppressed you are. No one can come between you and God&nbsp;right? sometimes I wonder.&nbsp;( i suppose that All works out well if you belive the human experience is one of oppresion, pain and suffering , and the reward is in eternal Life)&nbsp;This is all to much for my little Brain.<br />
&nbsp;So back to something I said a long time ago. Maybe&nbsp;church is really about bonding, with your neighbors. you live in the middle of the great plains , where the buffaloo roam and you ride your horse and wagon to church 5 miles one way to say howdy to your closet neighbors and share some common ground, and an apple pie. I guess sunday church should be a place&nbsp;to celebrate all the things you all have in common. Somewhere it lost its party appeal. I suppose it all depends on your understanding&nbsp;of Spirituality&nbsp;, and Education. Somewhere along the way, the teachers dropped the ball. somewhere along the way the rules became more important than the fools. Now we are left with a ritual that resembles&nbsp;a re-run of your favorite Tv Show, everyweek of the year. of course maybe its not about the&nbsp;the show as much as what is going on behind the scenes. and they people and there lives. Some church services I think&nbsp;are not much different than a national cirriculum for education.&nbsp;And I fear&nbsp;A persons experience with God is based on another human beings understanding of it. i guess thats the nature of it.&nbsp; <br />
I don't know what to say about&nbsp; jihad. I think that&nbsp;must be a&nbsp;failure of religion. I guess if you believe in devils and demons, maybe its a logical choice. But then&nbsp;again it comes down to your beliefs about&nbsp;God and peace. and Nothing that happens, can happen without God.&nbsp;Do muslims believe in a pre-destiny?&nbsp; Also There are other ways to fight devils and demons? the pen is mightier than the sword. But what happens when the pen is the devil?&nbsp;That is what i see the prevailing belief to be,( based on the bits and peices I hear on cnn,) in the muslim world. HAd enuf? LOL your turn I guess this just went to religions catagory</p>

__________________________________------------ <br />
Muslim Religion <br />
                                      The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States, especially in the minority races! Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of <br />
                                      their beliefs. <br />
                                      I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video. After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked: <br />
                                      "Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world. And, that by killing an infidel, which is a command to all Muslims, they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the <br />
                                      case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?" <br />
                                      There was no disagreement with my statements and without hesitation, he replied, "Non-believers!" <br />
                                      I responded, "So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill anyone who is not of your faith so they can go to Heaven. Is that correct?" <br />
                                      The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He sheepishly replied, "Yes." <br />
                                      I then stated, "Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine the Pope commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering Protestants to do the same in order to go to Heaven!" <br />
                                      The Imam was speechless. <br />
                                      I continued, "I also have problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah who tells you to kill me in order to go to Heaven or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to Heaven and He wants you to be with me?" You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame. <br />
                                      Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with Rick's way of dealing with the Islamic Imam and exposing the truth about the Muslim's beliefs. <br />
                                      I think everyone in the US & Canada, etc, should be required to read this, but with the liberal justice system, liberal media, and the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized. Please pass this on to all your e-mail contacts. This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry. <br />

From: Metaphorm    8/22/2005 2:50 pm To: ALL  (2 of 4)  728.2 in reply to 728.1 Something else to provoke the extremists, lol: <br />
Remember the guy who got on a plane with a bomb built into his shoe and tried to light it?<br />
Did you know his trial is over?<br />
Did you know he was sentenced?<br />
Did you see/hear any of the judge's comments on TV/Radio?<br />
Didn't think so.<br />
     <br />
Everyone should hear what the judge had to say.<br />
       Ruling by Judge William Young, US District Court.<br />
       Prior to sentencing, the Judge asked the defendant if he had anything to say.<br />
       His response: After admitting his guilt to the court for the record, Reid also admitted his "allegiance to Osama bin Laden, to Islam, and to the religion of Allah," defiantly stated "I think I will not apologize for my actions," and told the court "I am at war with your country."<br />
       Judge Young then delivered the statement quoted below:<br />
       January 30, 2003, United States vs. Reid. Judge Young:<br />
       "Mr. Richard C. Reid, hearken now to the sentence the Court imposes upon you.  On counts 1, 5 and 6 the Court sentences you to life in prison in the custody of the United States Attorney General.  On counts 2, 3, 4 and 7, the Court sentences you to 20 years in prison on each count, the sentence on each count to run consecutive with the other.<br />
       That's 80 years.  On count 8 the Court se ntences you to the mandatory 30 years consecutive to the 80 years just imposed.  The Court imposes upon you each of the eight counts a fine of $250,000 for the aggregate fine of $2 million.  <br />
The Court accepts the government's recommendation with respect to restitution and orders restitution in the amount of $298.17 to Andre Bousquet and $5,784 to American Airlines.  The Court imposes upon you the $800 special assessment.<br />
       The Court imposes upon you five years supervised release simply because the law requires it.  But the life sentences are real life sentences so I need go no further.  This is the sentence that is provided for by our statutes.  <br />
It is a fair and just sentence.  It is a righteous sentence.<br />
        Let me explain this to you.  We are not afraid of you or any of your terrorist co-conspirators, Mr. Reid.  We are Americans.  We have been through the fire before.  There is all too much war talk here and I say that to everyone with the utmost respect.  Here in this court, we deal with individuals as individuals and care for individuals as individuals.  As human beings, we reach out for justice.<br />
      You are not an enemy combatant.  You are a terrorist.  <br />
You are not a soldier in any war.  <br />
You are a terrorist.  To give you that reference, to call you a soldier, gives you far too much stature.  Whether it is the officers of government who do it or your attorney who does it, or if you think you are a soldier.  You are not----- you are a terrorist .  <br />
And we do not negotiate with terrorists.  We do not meet with terrorists.  We do not sign documents with terrorists.  We hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice! <br />
       So war talk is way out of line in this court.  You are a big fellow. But you are not that big.  <br />
You're no warrior.  I've know warriors.  You are a terrorist.  A species of criminal that is guilty of multiple attempted murders.  In a very real sense, State Trooper Santiago had it right when you first were taken off that plane and into custody and you wondered where the press and where the TV crews were, and he said: "You're no big deal."<br />
       You are no big deal.<br />
       What your able counsel and what the equally able United States  attorneys have grappled with and what I have as honestly as I know how tried to grapple with, is why you did something so horrific.  What was it that led you here to this courtroom today?<br />
       I have listened respectfully to what you have to say.  And I ask you to search your heart and ask yourself what sort of unfathomable hate led you to do what you are guilty and admit you are guilty of doing.  And I have an answer for you.  It may not satisfy you, but as I search this entire record, it comes as close to understanding as I know.<br />
      It seems to me you hate the one thing that to us is most precious. You hate our freedom.  <br />
Our individual freedom.  Our individual freedom to live as we choose, to come and go as we choose, to believe or not believe as we individually choose.  Here, in this society, the very wind carries freedom.  It carries it everywhere from sea to shining sea.  It is because we prize individual freedom so much that you are here in this beautiful courtroom.  So that everyone can see, truly see, that justice is administered fairly, individually, and discretely.  It is for freedom's sake that your lawyers are striving so vigorously on your behalf and have filed appeals, will go on in their representation of you before other judges.<br />
       We Americans are all about freedom. Because we all know that the way we treat you, Mr. Reid, is the measure of our own liberties.  <br />
Make no mistake though.  It is yet true that we will bare any burden; pay any price, to preserve our freedoms.  Look around this courtroom.  Mark it well. The world is not going to long remember what you or I say here.  Day after tomorrow, it will be forgotten, but this, however, will long endure.  <br />
Here in this courtroom and courtrooms all across America, the American people will gather to see that justice, individual justice, justice, not war, individual justice is in fact being done.  The very President of the United States through his officers will have to come into courtrooms and lay out evidence on which specific matters can be judged and juries of citizens will gather to sit and judge that evidence democratically, to mold and shape and refine our sense of justice.<br />
       See that flag, Mr. Reid?  <br />
That's the flag of the United States of America.  That flag will fly there long after this is all forgotten.  That flag stands for freedom.  And it always will.<br />
       Mr. Custody Officer.  Stand him down.<br />
       So, how much of this Judge's comments did we hear on our TV sets?  <br />
 <br />
       We need more judges like Judge Young, but that's another subject.  Pass this around.  <br />
Everyone should and needs to hear what this fine judge had to say.  <br />
Powerful words that strike home.<br />
Please forward this---------so that every American has a chance to read it.<br />
Note: If You are Islam and You feel as if Your's or Our country has been misrepresenting You and Your religion, definitely feel free and offer your perspective. I'm just Dying to hear a more optimistic take on this belief system. Other than that it's time to do away with religions, all you need is yourself. <br />

          14. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon saw the "writing on the wall" in Iraq. <br />
          15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq. <br />
          16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq. <br />
          17. The wise men we re from Iraq. <br />
          18. Peter preached in Iraq. <br />
          19. The "Empire of Man" described in Revelation is called Babylon, which was a city in Iraq! <br />
          And you have probably seen this one. Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq! However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are Babylon, Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia. The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The name Iraq, means country with deep roots. <br />
          Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible. <br />
          No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy associated it than Iraq. <br />
          And also... This is something to think about! Since America is typically represented by an eagle. <br />
Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages... <br />
          The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible) <br />
          Koran (9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace. <br />
          (Note the verse number!) Hmmmmmmm?! God Bless you all Amen ! <br />

<font color="#808080">Now many Islams say their's is a religion of Peace and they just want to be left alone to worship in that peace, so why is this not being allowed. The ol My God's Better than Your God? Or is our understanding of Islam needing to acknowledge that they can and will destroy the nonbelieving infidels? This is one of many reasons I think it's time to outgrow or at least rethink Religion before the dangerous fantasies of them end up getting someone hurt. Too late.</font>  :@

From: Metaphorm    Jul-7 5:15 pm To: ALL  (3 of 3)  1013.3 in reply to 1013.2 According to them not Every muslim is out to get us infidels, some are a peaceful bunch who can respect our religion and way of life as much as we respect their's. I wouldn't bite hook line and sinker to that GOP perception of the world, justified war, noble freedom, lower gas prices, whatever. They like to feed you the idea that all muslims are evil to make it easier to stomach our killing their wives and children, and that we lose dozens of troops a week to their endless war. This all won't be resolved with hate.<br />

<font color="#808080">Lately I don't know what to think anymore, but it doesn't stop me from thinking lol. Still, I think how much more heavenly the world would be without religion, or at least religious oppression. Each to their own and that should be more than good enough.</font>

You come from the Night Sky. You're drawn to the<br />
stars and planets, and it's no wonder why, you<br />
came from them. <br />
Kinda a silly quiz, but something to kick off this discussoin I guess?<br />
brought to you by Quizilla *Years ago, this lifetime, I paid 90$ for something called an SRT Reading. Spiritual Response Therapy. It involved crystals, pendulums, charts, a little bit of mathematics and alot of intuiting. I forgot the exact results, but it was intense. I do remember that my reader said I'm a very very very old soul, spent alot of time as healers and figures in religion, but most of the lives in the animal kingdom, as nocturnal creatures. Not sure how valid all that was, but like with most kinds of \&quot;therapy\&quot; I walked out feeling alot better.* </p>

Oops, they capped Middle Ages too, so only Middle-Aged Princesses had any real importance back then? Good news is with life expectancy during those times between 40 - 60 yrs old, middle age occured at 20 - 30. Bad news is feminine hygiene products have'nt been invented yet.* <br />

medium who lived in the Victorian era. You were<br />
greatly popular in your village and many people<br />
traveled from all around the country to see<br />
you. Untill one day when you summoned an<br />
annoying beast from a netherworld that wrecked<br />
havoc on the whole town, then you were driven<br />
away. As you were running away the entire town<br />
was chasing you, then one of them threw a large<br />
boulder at your legs. You fell down and your<br />
legs stopped working for the rest of your life.<br />
Then the townspeople took pity on you and<br />
bought you a wheelchair. You still were run out<br />
of town, and you spent the rest of your life in<br />
Paris, sitting in the townsquare selling<br />
decorative items you made yourself. You finally<br />
died when you were struck by lightning in the<br />
townsquare, at age 102. <br />

You were Napoleon!<br />
Born in Corsica in 1769, you had already decided at<br />
a very young age that you wanted a military<br />
career. You got a scholarship to a French<br />
military school, and from there you rose very<br />
quickly in ranks through military skill and<br />
ruthless efficiency. Some say you were an<br />
excellent civil administrator, others say you<br />
were a power-hungry emperor, but make no<br />
mistake, you shook the very foundations of<br />
Europe. Felt you had to prove something<br />
because you were short, perhaps? There are some<br />
who say you were poisoned when at last you died<br />
in exile in 1821, but now scientists are saying<br />
it was probably stomach cancer that ended your<br />
life. <br />

A Catholic Priest who's tongue was removed, then burned at the stake for being caught healing animals instead of humans. {Priest burnt at the stake, not just the tongue, lol, thought I'd clarify}<br />
A Native American Shamanic student killed by a jealous teacher who was already losing the tribe's faith and my skills seemed superior. In this life, I was... a female.<br />
A Wealthy Widow who made a bad deal with a greedy investor of some kind, fell in love with him, was robbed of every dime, died poor. <br />
Wish I could remember the other male lives described to me, to balance things out, lol. I'm not that girly! But then again, it's said you can have past lives as males and females, the soul is universal like that, but yet the soul can have gender too. <br />
I remember an odd dream I had of the Pre-Life I guess. I was being shown around a Factory by God or an Angel or something. It was in heaven because the floors were made of solid clouds. Bear with me here, dreams work with alot of symbology, so they don't care about logic. Anyway, there was this large machine, a conveyor belt oven packaging kinda thing, like assembly line contraption, In came these battered dim deflated damaged orbs of pink and blue, these were souls. Male and Female. They'd be processed in, and come out the other side, revitalized, glowing brighter, unblemished. Some even hopping up and down in glee, rolling off the belt to smilingly be put back in line for redeposit through a trapdoor, back to earth to inhabit newborn lifeforms.*</p>

Who Were You In A Past Life? <br />
You were Yama Silviskiaggieshabo. Born and raised in the himalayan mountains, you were put to work from an early age shoveling snow. You lived a tough life in your small village untill the day the well known Yeti decided to pay you a visit. The creature came barreling into town roaring and the townspeople rushed to their alters to pray for the creature to leave them alone. They all viewed the Yeti as a god, and finally decided they needed to make a sacrifice. Since nobody really liked you, they decided to feed you to the Yeti. Luckily for you, the Yeti was a female who really wanted a child but couldn't concieve, so she decided to raise you as her own. You lived with the Yeti in the mountains for several years untill you were a young teenager. The Yeti, who was much smarter than most people gave her credit for, taught you great knowledge and also supplied you with sacred herbal teas that enhanced your immune system. One uhappy day, your mother Yeti died after slipping and falling down a mountain. You left the mountains with a rage that would last you for most of your life. You left the Himalayas and lived in Rome for a long time working as a stage hand at a theater. One day your friends were poisoned to death, and you soon murdered the culprit. You were allowed to go free with only community service, but you soon decided it was time to start moving past the anger and eventually you became a much more mellow person. You started doing yoga and began selling teas like the ones your mother Yeti used to make you. You died at 190.<br />

\&quot;Which Leader Were You in a Past Life?\&quot; - Results:<br />
You were Confucius!<br />
Your life began in 551 B.C. in the Chinese village of Zou. You worked as a teacher until age 35, when you became advisor to the exiled Duke Zhou for a time. Later you became a magistrate and even the Grand Minister of Justice of Lu Province for a time. After a while, you took to wandering with your handful of disciples and unfortunately found that high-ranking nobles in many courts were plotting to have you killed. You continued, however, to speak on morality and honesty until you finally retired and spent your remaining days writing. You died at the age of 72.<br />

<p>Hotel California (1976)</p>

<p>Hotel California<br />
On A Dark Desert Highway<br />
Cool Wind In My Hair<br />
Warm Smell Of Colitas<br />
Rising Up Through The Air<br />
Up Ahead In The Distance<br />
I Saw A Shimmering Light<br />
My Head Grew Heavy, And My Sight Grew Dim<br />
I Had To Stop For The Night<br />
There She Stood In The Doorway<br />
I Heard The Mission Bell<br />
And I Was Thinking To Myself<br />
This Could Be Heaven Or This Could Be Hell<br />
Then She Lit Up A Candle<br />
And She Showed Me The Way<br />
There Were Voices Down The Corridor<br />
I Thought I Heard Them Say<br />
Welcome To The Hotel California<br />
Such A Lovely Place<br />
Such A Lovely Place (Background)<br />

You Can Find It Here<br />
Her Mind Is Tiffany Twisted<br />
She'S Got The Mercedes Bends<br />
She'S Got A Lot Of Pretty, Pretty Boys<br />
That She Calls Friends<br />
How They Dance In The Courtyard<br />
Sweet Summer Sweat<br />
Some Dance To Remember<br />
Some Dance To Forget<br />
So I Called Up The Captain<br />
Please Bring Me My Wine<br />
He Said<br />
We Haven'T Had That Spirit Here Since 1969<br />
And Still Those Voices Are Calling From Far Away<br />
Wake You Up In The Middle Of The Night<br />
Just To Hear Them Say<br />
Welcome To The Hotel California<br />
Such A Lovely Place<br />

What A Nice Surprise<br />
What A Nice Surprise (Background)<br />
Bring Your Alibies<br />
Mirrors On The Ceiling<br />
Pink Champagne On Ice<br />
And She Said<br />
We Are All Just Prisoners Here<br />
Of Our Own Device<br />
And In The Master'S Chambers<br />
They Gathered For The Feast<br />
They Stab It With Their Steely Knives<br />
But They Just Can'T Kill The Beast<br />
Last Thing I Remember<br />
I Was Running For The Door<br />
I Had To Find The Passage Back To The Place I Was Before<br />
Relax Said The Nightman<br />
We Are Programed To Recieve<br />
You Can Check Out Any Time You Like<br />

<p>Tried a movie reveiw in German, heh, Schpiedehr-Mann! lmao.</p>

<p>In English:</p>

<p>On German: A shy in a juvenile manner sonderling receives point by a genetic-changed spider during a category journey and is sudden to win Superheroenergien. He can now climb up walls, shoot and to the things believe woven material of its wrists, which sense\&quot; with its more \&quot;spider; are coming. Unfortunately it conveys still the secret love, which it has for its High School Sweetie, to can't loses it a very close member of its family and must down to one villainous Kobold confront who's at the world pissed. Does Spidey ass step? Does Spidey kiss the girl? Does Spidey form the successful transition from the amusing book half God to the film star? Find out... to I've, which waits this film for as long as each possible other Spidey fan, and still really it believes can't to I that I got caught straight more webcrawler on the large screen. Someone fallen wedge me. Owww! O.k., that was lame..., but which wasn't Lam&eacute;, this film was definite (nice segue, JoBlo... yeesh!). If it mirror-image the one superrockers around city center the Manhattan... Examination from this light impact to see would like! Of if you more over Peter Parker to learn would like, who he comes, what educates him to Haeckchen and how he for the Superhero stood that he... Examination from this light impact is! If you wish activity, mutilating, a really bad bad chap, ehrfuerchtige confrontation sequences, a roaring notch, inspirational a storyline and Kirsten vapor, which look as hot as at all, well yeah... Examination from this light impact! Well thus it know it that there many reasons, why you probably see this film, but it knew are that there's should see one very important reason, why I think you it? Surprise, surprise... it's the human factor! That's corrects... a functioning, the letters, the interaction between all perfectly form players in this film is reliable and touches themselves and extremely effectively. Actually don't estimates me here (okay, you estimate me, if you wish), but I reminds even that some tears me up above gushing in my own eyes during certain scenes spidey violently. Can you believe?? Who that angles of one mean the romantic and family the largest activity Superherofilme of the yearly preselection button would set in motion, how would have thought? Well you believe him! Tobey Maguire is ehrfuerchtig as Peter Parker and steps much of bootie as webslinging the crime fighters in addition. The chap was totally educated to play around this role and I've noticed him already to the brain as small nerdo, which is converted into... well, you knows each other history. It convinced me as the losers with secret loving for Mary a Jane, sold it me completely as the confused Geck, which suddenly wins these amazing energies, and he got me completely on board with the tender scenes with its uncle, aunt and Mary Jane. Tail, this Geck is someone, which I really give a shit approximately! He's like me, dammit! (except all that Superheroenergie of thingies) seriously, I read somewhere that director SAM Raimi attached more with Spider-Man than youth, because he \&quot;real\&quot; more; seemed, more likes a regular kid. And mucho kudos expire to Raimi for getting this sight on the large screen with extreme authorization, as well as amusing book resemblance. Who otherwise? Well who's first? Kirsten vapor ravishing as MJ. She's, which is delightful, she's, hurtable she's is nice, she's contradicted... she's, which wish all you'd in a baby... and in more! (Raimi, permit me, to shake your hand for those electronically \&quot;rainy\&quot; Shots... nicely!) Chemistry between the two line actors/characters is also very obvious (word around the campfire was that the duo into material life dated, but you didn't hear this dirt of me). Uncles Ben and aunt May are thrown also ideally in the cliff Robertson and in Rosemary Harris, and who would have thought that good friend Harry Osborne would get Peter's nevertheless, another developed letter to the foremost row. James Franco is breeding, reliably, sympatisch and finally, rather mysteriously as Harry and I looks you forward of to more from this chap. Another letter, the I can't the waiting period to see to again J. Jonah Jameson was easily bombast with unbelievable, of J. K. Simmons, each of its scenes stealing. It cracked those up public each probability the fact that it received and believed I can't, how much they really started it like the material Jonah of the amusing book (note, as I on an amusing book letter, during me refer \&quot;real\&quot;... I I'm, which think, begins it to lose) to look. For Willem Dafoe, which plays Franco's father in the film, and which role created green Kobolds... also, thought I that he played the role really well, but I must that the character's motive wasn't, as, convincingly as everything otherwise in the film to permit. It's also to notice to the fact that I abhor completely and found really to quite divert the plastic template and the complaint, which he completely carried (it never really any avowedly). Now I'm, which that suggests, I could have better recommended everything, but not for me, it fair didn't work (whenever Kobold begun cry everything, I straight \&quot;I'm would think, some Plastikmask\&quot; regarded;). But it wasn't the end of the world, since the activity scenes fun and nontheless impudent were quite, particularly the locking mano A mano film script between the Kobold and the Spidey, while their much \&quot;supermen\&quot; an efficient impact between; two; were exchanged, and edge of their seat moments were a much. What Spider-Man the cgi sequences concerns... bought I it? Well and No.. In most cases I wasn't to consciously the cgi, particularly during \&quot;smaller\&quot; Activity of shots, but I must permit that things a little \&quot;phony\&quot; looked; from time to the time, automates a little here and there, but which can, it... it's the films!</p>&quot;

<p>Ok, sorry but I had to try it.</p>

<p><br />
Before:<br />
Midnight Fork In The Road<br />
Moon and stars watch over me<br />
What lays ahead I cannot see<br />
Future&rsquo;s hazy and past&rsquo;s a fright<br />
Hold me close, Guide me tonight<br />
The path ahead and that behind<br />
With the scars I bare and call mine<br />
Fates and fears both intertwine<br />
With clock&rsquo;s ticking out my time<br />
Seasons change as well do we<br />
The changes good we don&rsquo;t always see<br />
Some for love and some for spite<br />
Guide my choices oh sacred night<br />
Do I take left or should I right<br />
What path to follow please steer me night<br />
To mine own self be true you say<br />
But wouldn&rsquo;t I have chose that anyway</p>

<p>After Translation:</p>

<p>Bifurcaci&oacute;n De la Medianoche En El Camino Luna y reloj de las estrellas sobre m&iacute; Qu&eacute; pone a continuaci&oacute;n no puedo ver Futuro nebuloso y &uacute;ltimo un fright Sost&eacute;ngame cerca, dir&iacute;jame esta noche La trayectoria a continuaci&oacute;n y &eacute;sa detr&aacute;s Con las cicatrices I pelado y la llamada mina Los sinos y los miedos ambos intertwine Con el reloj haciendo tictac fuera de mi tiempo Las estaciones cambian tambi&eacute;n nosotros Los cambios buenos no vemos siempre Algunos para el amor y algunos para el rencor Dirija mi noche sagrada del oh de las opciones tomo a la izquierda o debo la derecha de I Qu&eacute; trayectoria a seguir por favor me dirige la noche El m&iacute;o posea a uno mismo sea verdad usted opini&oacute;n Pero no tendr&iacute;a eleg&iacute; eso de todos modos</p>

<p>Levandosi Romar, cities of uominisiete in levandosi feet that iete in feet in the heart of Romar. Called Bench&egrave; a city, this stronghold of the human beings is little more than a fortified village. The low defensive walls of the city are encircled rolling the plains that are transformed gradually in the thick forest in the distance. Some residents are couple to you in the conversation well within to the square of the village around. The sundial large to the heart of the city he reads 2:39. Over the constructions of the city, the moon is visible. The Vordus moon is full. Rambling the village, the jaw agape, it is Farmboy Thrillseeker. Odierno the time is believed that it is thunderstorms. To talk close of some villagers: \&quot; Lmao. Guess where I just was! I figured Rome was in Italy, turns out Italian knows Nothing of Romar lol. Some residents are couple to me? Geezwhiz.\&quot;</p>&quot;

Don't forget to include film, batteries and beverages.If you are ordering a fresh turkey, do it now.Make a Thanksgiving to-do list, listing all the little things you feel must get done prior to Thanksgiving. Be sure to schedule time for each chore and indicate who will take care of that chore.Order your floral centerpieces now.Plan your menu.Two Weeks Ahead Check all serving dishes, flatware and glassware.Shop for any paper goods you need for the event.Make sure you have enough tables and chairs for your guests.Take an inventory of your tablecloths and napkins.If any of your items need to be cleaned, do it now.Clean your refrigerator to make room for your Thanksgiving items.Shop for nonperishable groceries on your shopping list.Plan and make decorations.One Week AheadPlan seating arrangements.Review your recipes.Prepare cooking schedule.Check thawing time for frozen turkey.Find recipes onlineFour Days AheadStart defrosting the frozen turkey in your refrigerator.Save money on ice&mdash;start making your own ice cubes now.

Add stuffing.Preheat oven.Put turkey in oven and baste every half hour.Prepare coffee and brew 20 minutes before serving.Keep the turkey covered and let it rest for about 20 minutes before slicing.Microwave food to quickly reheat if all the burners of the stove are occupied.Make gravy and last-minute vegetables.Set out refrigerated dishes.Heat bread or rolls as needed.Remove stuffing from turkey.Carve turkey: Carve a roasted turkey [You can do all that and rack up the stress and mess, or you can hide out until after new year's, eating what you wanna eat, socializing with a group of people editted for content, lol.

<p>Btw, we're skipping the ridiculously long lines and high prices at the grocery store and mugging people outside the place, leave the turkeys, but darnit, that stovetop stuffing rocks, it must needs be liberated and safely in the hands of those who can properly revere it, AND EAT IT!]</p>&quot;

<p>[I think before it's cooked they call them Croutons, lol, great on salads with ranch dressing, sunflower seeds, shredded cheese and bacon bits.</p>

<p>Yes, I drown my salads, but who wants to eat just lettuce, let the rabbits do that then Eat the Rabbits!</p>

<p>Thanksgiving History and Traditions<br />
Why does America celebrate Thanksgiving? Who made it a national holiday? How much turkey do we eat? Learn more about Turkey Day.</p>

<p>Why Do We Celebrate?</p>

<p>America's first Thanksgiving, in 1621, was a three-day celebration of feasting and recreation. The prior year was the Pilgrims' first winter at Plymouth, and it was so harsh almost half of the colonists perished. By the second harvest, there was reason to rejoice. A peace treaty was signed with the Wampanoag, the Pilgrims' Native American neighbors. And Massasoit, their leader, shared his agricultural expertise, which resulted in a bumper crop. As was common in England, where the Pilgrims originated, they chose to commemorate their bounty with a harvest festival.<br />
advertisement Most accounts of the actual event mention neither turkey nor pumpkin, our modern Thanksgiving staples. Indian corn was plentiful, however. Four valiant Pilgrim housewives supervised the feast that Massasoit and 90 of his people attended, bringing five deer as their contribution to the communal table.</p>

<p>Presumably, the Pilgrims followed the English custom of the day and served their neighbors buffet-style; dishes were placed on the table and guests helped themselves. There were no forks, only knives, spoons, and large napkins that were used to pick up hot foods and to tidy the face and fingers. Food could be eaten directly from the serving dish or you could share a trencher (wooden plate). No meal could begin without saying grace, since the Pilgrims believed that their good fortune was due to their relationship to God.</p>

<p>Similar New England harvest festivals evolved into an annual tradition, officially acknowledged in 1777, when the Continental Congress declared the first national Thanksgiving. President Lincoln established Thanksgiving as a national holiday in 1863, after 23 years of lobbying by Sarah Josepha Hale, an acclaimed author and editor.</p>

<p>The regional foods of New England, including turkey, cranberries, and pumpkin, came to be identified with the holiday, as did the inspirational story of the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag tribe feasting and coexisting in peace.</p>

<p>Our National Traditions</p>

<p>These are the five most common activities Americans traditionally enjoy on Thanksgiving Day. How many does your family do?</p>

<p>1. Savoring the Bird</p>

<p>According to the National Turkey Federation, 91 percent of Americans eat turkey at Thanksgiving. Dating back to New England harvest traditions, eating turkey is the enduring symbol of the holiday. In the South, some prefer their turkey deep-fried rather than roasted in the traditional Yankee fashion. No matter how the turkey is prepared, Americans will eat approximately 675 million pounds of turkey alone this holiday.</p>

<p>2. Reaching Out</p>

<p>As Americans gather together to share the year's bounty, families also reach out to those less fortunate. Volunteering at soup kitchens is a time-honored way to express our thanks and give back to the community.</p>

<p>3. Taking Time Out -- For Football</p>

<p>When everyone is full from the groaning Thanksgiving table, many folks settle in for football. Americans have been playing and watching football on Thanksgiving since the 1870s. One sarcastic reporter noted in 1893, \&quot;Thanksgiving ... is a holiday granted by ... the Nation to see a game of football.\&quot;</p>

<p>4. Watching the Big Parade</p>

<p>In addition to the big football games, Americans gather around to watch one of the biggest and most famous parades, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Whether you watch it on TV or go to New York City to see it in person, the day would not be complete without the balloons, the Rockettes, and Santa on his sleigh. Locals and visitors alike congregate the night before the parade to watch the floats as they're inflated and to stake out a place for great sight lines the next morning.</p>

<p>5. Making a Wish</p>

<p>Who gets the wishbone in your family? Ever since the Etruscans, people have been pulling apart the forked bone from a turkey, chicken or other fowl and making a wish. The Romans brought the tradition with them when they conquered England and the English brought it to America.</p>&quot;

<p>It's not too early, Canada just HAD Their Thanksgiving and as The Metaphorum tries to be Globally Aware while retaining a healthy air of crudity: E-mail message</p>

<p>This is funny</p>

<p>DON'T FART IN BED</p>

<p>If this story doesn't make you cry for laughing so<br />
hard, let me know and I will pray for you.</p>

<p>This is a story about a couple who had been happily<br />
married for years.</p>

<p>The only friction in their marriage was the husband's<br />
habit of farting loudly every morning when he awoke.</p>

<p>The noise would wake his wife and the smell would make<br />
her eyes water and make her gasp for air.</p>

<p>Every morning she would plead with him to stop ripping<br />
them off because it was making her sick. He told her<br />
he couldn't stop it and that it was perfectly natural.</p>

<p>She told him to see a doctor; she was concerned that<br />
one day he would blow his guts out.</p>

<p>The years went by and he continued to rip them out!</p>

<p>Then oneThanksgiving morning as she was preparing the<br />
turkey for dinner and he was upstairs sound asleep,<br />
she looked at the bowl where she had put the turkey<br />
innards and neck gizzard, liver and all the spare<br />
parts and a malicious thought came to her.</p>

<p>She took the bowl and went upstairs where her husband<br />
was sound asleep and, gently pulling back the bed<br />
covers, she pulled back the elastic waistband of his<br />
underpants and emptied the bowl of turkey guts into<br />
his shorts.</p>

<p>Some time later she heard her husband waken with his<br />
usual trumpeting which was followed by a blood<br />
curdling scream and the sound of frantic footsteps as<br />
he ran into the bathroom. The wife could hardly<br />
control herself as she rolled on the floor laughing,<br />
tears in her eyes! After years of torture she reckoned<br />
she had got him back pretty good.</p>

<p>About twenty minutes later, her husband came<br />
downstairs in his bloodstained underpants with a look<br />
of horror on his face. She bit her lip as she asked<br />
him what was the matter.</p>

<p>He said,\&quot;Honey, you were right.\&quot; All these years you<br />
have warned me and I didn't listen to you.\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;What do you mean?\&quot; asked his wife.</p>

<p>\&quot;Well, you always told me that one day I would end up<br />
farting my guts out, and today it finally happened.</p>

<p>But by the grace of God, some Vaseline, and these two<br />
fingers, I think I got most of them back in.</p>
 
<p>Now, Laugh your guts out and have a happy thanksgiving whenever you plan to have your's. (Redefines stuffing don't it?!?)</p>&quot;

<p>I bite my cats a lot. I bite Ellie a lot anyways. When she's bad and bites or scratches me, or chews on any FRIKKIN plastic bags, she very often gets bited. It hasn't proven to be effective just yet. Some day she will make the connection. Some day.</p>&quot;

<p>Ellie: Heheehehh, I hear that you busted up Aqrn's keyboard. It's back to the humane society with you!</p>

<p>Salem: Don't be ridiculous! They didn't get us from the humane society. I, at least, have always been cared for by a respectable human being. As for you, I'm not so sure. And about the keyboard, how can I be held to blame? Surely all furniture should be built to hold the weight of a cat.</p>

<p>Ellie: Maybe the weight of a regular sized cat. Face it, you're overweight.</p>

<p>Salem: Maybe a little. All the more of me to love.</p>

<p>Ellie: And about the humane society?</p>

<p>Salem: What about? I told you--</p>

<p>Ellie: --You were rescued from the humane society by our last human. It was a while ago so I'll let it go, considering your age. You poor feeble-minded barf-ball...</p>

<p>Salem: You were there too. Don't think you can slip past that point. Three weeks old, and already unwanted. Stolen away from your mother... We both had it rough for a time. But it's been clear sailing since.</p>

<p>Ellie: It's been pretty acceptable.</p>

<p>Salem snickers. Look who's going to clean the litter box now!</p>

<p>Ellie: Good work Aqrn. This will be her first time cleaning out a litter box. *Grins*</p>&quot;

<p>Ellie: If you don't get out of my window, I'll cut you like a Thanksgiving turkey!</p>

<p>Salem: You'll do nothing of the sort. Besides, I found the window first.</p>

<p>Ellie: It's a wonder you could get your big butt up there in the first place.</p>

<p>Salem: Still...</p>

<p>Ellie whines plaintively. Why don't these people remove him from my window?!</p>

<p>Salem: Whining won't get you anything. How stupid do you think these people are? You've been pretty sketchy so far.</p>

<p>Ellie: If they'd keep their bloody paws to themselves, I wouldn't have to swipe at them, would I?</p>

<p>Salem: They're trying to make you feel comfortable. They pet me, and it's not like you ALWAYS have a problem with it. You're being pretty unpredictable, don't you think?</p>

<p>Ellie growls.</p>

<p>Salem jumps down from the window and swipes at Ellie. Ellie shuts up.</p>&quot;

Aqrn and _Agrajag_ have acquired not only one, but TWO babies!! They're furry and clawed, they're chatty and curious, and, well... They're not really babies. They're older than we are. We have two cats!!<br />

lol, Ellie is a camera wh*r*. We have so many pictures of her! She's far more entertaining than Salem is, although Salem is a pretty d*mn cool cat. Aqrn curses at the missing vowels in her cussery...<br />
<br />
Both cats are equally loved. They're FUN! And man oh man, I love cleaning the litter box. It's like digging for treasure! I don't get to keep it though, Agra makes me throw it away. &lt;TEARS!&gt;<br />

I'm scramblingto find somethig good to sa about Geminis, lol. Luckily for you got here before Cobalt_Bot did, it's tactless. Ah here we go:</p>

<p>Quote:<br />
The Gemini personailty is bright, witty and adaptable. Very little ever troubles a Gemini, or stops one for talking from long. Geminis can argue their way out of any situation. Having a lively curiousity, Gemini also excels at gathernig information, processing it, and expressing it in an accessible way to the waiting world. This personality can do almost anything, so long as it does not cause boredom, an anathema to Geminis. With so many talents and an ability to make somethingotu of nothing, Geminis difficulty lies in deciding wher and how to concentrate. Geminis are almost always doing at least two things at once, you will usually find.<br />
s, gimme a Gemini secretary, good at communication and multitasking,<br />
I'm actually seriously envious of this quality, I'm lucky to be able t do any one thing right, lol</p>

The Myth:<br />
Geminis are supposed to be talkative types; always on the phone and forever doing deals. They are, allegedly, good at trading and persuading. They like accumulating trivial information and ask endless questions all the time. It is also said that Geminis are \&quot;two people in one\&quot; full of contradictions and prone to sudden mood swings.</p>

<p>The Truth:<br />
Geminis are definitely busy people. It's rare to find one sitting still and doing nothing. They have active inquiring minds and particularly enjoy conversations that involve an exchange of information. Not all Geminis though, are gregarious. Some are reflective and shy. Nor is every Gemini a natural salesperson. Some have no interest in commerce.</p>

<p>All though, are a little competitive. They can rarely resist showing someone else how a job should be done or a problem should be solved. As for moodiness, well they can be full of sunshine one moment and fury the next but then who can't? All that's unusual is the speed at which they can change.</p>

<p>The Key To Success:<br />
If you were born under the sign of the twins, you shouldn't see yourself as a \&quot;split personality\&quot;.</p>

<p>You are simply someone who can see both sides to every coin. It's your ability to be flexible, to act on the spur of the moment and to ask the one obvious question that nobody else seems able to think of which makes you, such a powerful force in business... and such a helpful person to have as a friend</p>

<p>{Bloodgeon!}<br />
With Geminis I think \&quot;Two heads are better than one\&quot; just as long as they can agree. But like all signs, Gemini dont like to be characterised and will pull twice as hard at labels stuck to them.</p>

<p>Dont get me wrong, some geminis really annoy me, but others have been great friends, so seeing both sides of this story, I conclude this post.</p>&quot;

<p>Mino had a recent Pepsi_ sighting sometime, or was it bttrfly, someone saw him recently. Pepsi_ was a verrrry shy Gemini, but that exception I run into often. Do I Make Geminis Shy? :O</p>

<p>{Geminis always seem t suffer more with colds and flus than most. IN part, this arises from their reluctance to take to their beds, but also because they can never seem to recognize the body's plea that \&quot;Enough is Enough\&quot; Gemini als rules the lungs, pointing to a need to guard against chest infection. The shoulders arms hands and fingers fall under Gemini's domain as well. if tension in the shoulder becomes painful it should be treated with gentle massage before it freezes.}</p>

<p>Seems these whimsical airsigns need some looking after, support your local air element!</p>

<p>{For geminis , colds ca be a persistent problem, since congestion in the respiratory organs is a reflection of the geminian tendency to block the mind with too many thoughts at once. Geminis should learn that correct breathing also helps to decongest the mind: and an orderly mind means a healthier body.}</p>

<p>Gemini: The Inner You</p>

<p>You react instantly to new situations, but because you're so keenly attuned to your environment, you tend to have a nervous temperament. And though you give off sparks of energy, excitement, and charm, inside you feel like a wound-up spring. Others are fascinated by your enthusiasm while inwardly you're already bored with this person or that project. In your relationships, you're very giving, but you also need to spend to time on yourself. You like to perform, using your wit and intelligence to move to center stage. You love to gossip, mostly because you find out such interesting things! You're generous with your time, friendship, and possessions. One problem is that instead of looking at people's deeper qualities, you tend to judge them by your reaction to you. Are you coming off well; are you mesmerizing them?</p>&quot;

<p>*We do try, but when you do the generalized interpretation not based on an individual charting it's more like a scattershot chance of getting it right someplace, hitting at least a few marks. Astrology's not an exact science, I'll admit, but it IS one of the Oldest, kinda blends Astronomy with Psychology and a smidgeon of divination thrown in for spice. :) GOtta love this, lol.*</p>&quot;

<b>Gemini’s Amorous Combinations</b><br />
<br />
<b>Gemini and Aries</b> This lively, energetic pair can be good friends as well as good lovers. They thrive on activity, adventure, and variety; enjoy each other’s humour; and like social life. Aries will probably make the decisions because Gemini has difficulty in that area. There will be bedroom high jinks, for both are enthusiastic about sex. Aries’s domineering streak will give Gemini the firm direction it needs—and Gemini’s occasional from the straight and narrow will keep Aries on its toes.<br />
<br />
<b>Gemini and Taurus</b> An unpromising match, though at the beginning Taurus responds to Gemini’s sparkle and Gemini is intrigued  by Taurus’s uncomplicated directness. But Taurus wants life to be stable and ordered, while Gemini is easily bored and looks for new experiences. Taurus is devoted to home sweet home, while Gemini follows the lure of the open road. Gemini finds Taurus’s lovemaking a bit on the dull side, and also resents the restrictive net Taurus tries to construct. In turn, jealous Taurus can’t handle Gemini’s outside dalliances. Passions cool.<br />
<br />
<b>Gemini and Gemini</b> You won’t find a more versatile, charming, or vivacious pair. These two will never bore each other, for they are interested in everything. The pace is frenetic, but neither would dream of slowing down. They are fascinating conversationalists, have tons of friends, and together they’ll throw some marvelous parties. Sex is fun and games. But this couple is also superficial, unstable, and very restless. When they move out of the bedroom, everything becomes too chaotic—even for twin Gemini’s.<br />
<br />
<b>Gemini and Cancer</b> Passionate Cancer fulfills Gemini’s physical needs, and Gemini’s cheerfulness brightens Cancer’s disposition. But all too soon, Gemini’s tendency to play at love wounds oversensitive Cancer. Flirtatious Gemini makes Cancer feel very insecure and an affair is likely to be volatile. These two may have too little in common for a long-term relationship. Cancer needs security and domesticity; Gemini loathes being tied down. Gemini hasn’t any patience with Cancer’s moodiness, and Gemini’s sharp tongue is too biting for Cancer’s fragile ego. They are doomed to a downhill run.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Gemini and Leo</b> An affectionate pair who really enjoy each other. Gemini’s amorous playfulness finds a responsive partner in eager, extroverted Leo. Leo’s self-confidence blinks at Gemini’s flirtatiousness with others. Gemini’s penchant for ridicule can annoy regal Leo, though, and Leo will probably demand more adoration than Gemini is willing to give. Socially, each tries to upstage the other, but they have a lot of fun together doing it. They both love to laugh, and in bed they set off sparks. What more can they ask?<br />
<br />
<b>Gemini and Virgo</b> Both are Mercury-ruled and have a mental approach to life. But similarity ends there; these two are star-crossed from the beginning. Virgo considers Gemini scatterbrained and immature. Gemini thinks of Virgo as a stick-in-the-mud and a bore. Virgo’s analytical approach seems like indifference to Gemini. Virgo looks on Gemini’s busy social life as superficial and a waste of time. Virgo is critical; Gemini is tactless. Passions run on a low thermostat; this sex life soon turns chilly. Gemini’s eye is certain to rove.<br />
<br />
<b>Gemini and Libra</b> These two air signs are well suited intellectually and every other way. They are stimulating companions who will enjoy a lighthearted, lovely affair. Neither is combative and they’re likely to agree on everything. They are affectionate, fun-loving, and like social life, entertaining, and travel. Sexually both are fervent, neither is jealous or demanding, and Libra goes along with Gemini’s taste for experiment. Their one problem is that they both love to spend money. Otherwise it’s a perfect match.<br />
<br />
<b>Gemini and Scorpio</b> Gemini’s imagination and Scorpio’s dynamism would make a good combination if only these two were able to get along with each other. There is combustion in the bedroom, but they soon find out that sex isn’t everything. Scorpio is sensual, passionate, demanding, jealous, inflexible. Gemini is fickle, flighty, superficial, lighthearted, changeable. Gemini is a social creature, Scorpio likes privacy. Scorpio’s suspicious nature is in constant turmoil over Gemini’s casual attitude about love. It won’t be long before enough becomes too much.<br />
<br />
<b>Gemini and Sagittarius</b> These two are opposites in the zodiac and are attracted to each other like magnets. They’ll especially enjoy each other’s minds, for both have wide-ranging and varied interests. Sagittarius tends to be more intellectual, Gemini more social. Both are too restless and argumentative, and both need freedom. They may be disappointed sexually, since neither is demonstrative—and Gemini is very quick to criticize. This affair probably began impulsively and will end the same way.<br />
<br />
<b>Gemini and Capricorn</b> Gemini’s freewheeling, anything-goes attitude meets opposition from conventional, steady, conservative Capricorn. Capricorn worries about security, while Gemini frets about losing its liberty. Order and routine keep Capricorn content, but drive Gemini to distraction. Gemini’s need for stimulating existence does nothing to make Capricorn feel secure. And Capricorn’s sober outlook puts a damper on Gemini’s high spirits. This isn’t an affair with high voltage—but Gemini can help develop Capricorn’s sensual potential.<br />
<br />
<b>Gemini and Aquarius</b> Versatile Gemini and innovative Aquarius get along famously. They share a taste for novelty, travel, meeting new people. Because both are unpredictable, things can’t always go smoothly. But love keeps getting better, for Aquarius adores Gemini’s wit and good cheer. If Gemini is somewhat inconstant or unstable, Aquarius understands. If the affair should end, they’ll still remain friends. In marriage, these two are affectionate, devoted companions more than passionate lovers.<br />
<br />
<b>Gemini and Pisces</b> The passion quotient is high, and so are the problems. Emotional Pisces is too easily hurt by thoughtless Gemini. Gemini is mischievous and playful, but Pisces is sensitive and takes things to heart. Each practices deception in his or her own way; Gemini dissembles, Pisces won’t deal with reality. Gemini needs freedom and new vistas; Pisces needs unending adoration. Pisces just can’t feel secure with gadabout Gemini, and tries to pull the net tighter. The claustrophobic atmosphere eventually makes it hard for Gemini to breathe.&quot;

<p>*I find myself emphatically nodding at parts, I think I took a Gemini girl to Prom once. We arrived, and before anyone could see me with one of the hottest girls in school, she was called over to hang out with her too many other close guy friends. I about had it there and felt like slathering her in BBQ sauce and tossing her to them, Feasting Time! Might as well, screw it, She aint here for me. But I stuck it out, slow danced sooooo many times, loving that she wore black velvet mini skirt with dark blue lace additions, ate at Rocky's Pizza, admiring the Gemini ability to Burp as loud as I can, lol, and eating super spicy stuff. I dropped her off, got a kiss on the cheek, asked her out, answer was Yes, we were a seperate couple for three days while she acted like she was sick to avoid school, one day she returned, and leaves me a badly spelled Split-up Note. \&quot;Aftr a cupple of dayz I think it wuld b better if we were jus frinds.\&quot; So, No more Geminis for me, but they make great \&quot;frinds\&quot;. lol!*</p>&quot;

<p>*Once is definite, that mistake was not repeated, Think she was a Gemini too, by the description of the flighty airy socialite part of her grinding into my scorpio jealous nature. Than again, those are Human traits too, those I definitely do not trust, lol!*</p>&quot;

<p>Gobie: She that scraggly little neighbor cat who was all over me at that get-together?</p>

<p>Stargoyle: Yep, she remembered you, but you were adopted by Us even before your eyes were open, and by the time you saw her next, her scent was a fading memory.</p>

<p>Gobie: Thought she seemed familiar.</p>

<p>Stargoyle: Yep.</p>

<p>Gobie: So tell me more.</p>

<p>Stargoyle: Well, We might be able to guess the correct week you were born, but other than that, the specifics escape us.</p>

<p>Stargoyle: Anyways, that old shed/farmhouse/barn you were found in with about 4 other kittens.</p>

<p>Stargoyle: You were the biggest of them, fluffier and heavier.</p>

<p>Stargoyle: It was plain that this cat was gonna be a survivor.</p>

<p>Stargoyle: And this is true, having outlived his own mother, and all his siblings, he truly is.</p>

<p>Stargoyle: We were soon encouraged to take a kitten and soon, as the family's toddler was flinging them around like squeeling toys.</p>

<p>Stargoyle: It was a matter of survival, or at the very least, Safety!</p>

<p>Stargoyle: So we grabbed this, teh biggest bravest of the bunch, resisting the urge to Once Again Feel Sorry for the Runt of the Litter.</p>

<p>Stargoyle: This little guy, though his eyes were still kittenshut, always wandered outside the box / den / barn.</p>

<p>Stargoyle: We've had to pull him out from under vehicles, off the dog, {who didnt seem to mind really, this little warm fluffy crawling on it} alot of places.</p>

<p>Stargoyle: His first weeks with us was feeding him milk from an eyedropper, wipping his little tush with a warm washrag to get the bowel movement outta him before he overfilled, etc, basic infant cat care.</p>

<p>Stargoyle: After a few nights of mewing and crying and banging on his cat carrier home door it became very evident he was not going to be sleepin in there.</p>

<p>Stargoyle: So, relenting I pulled him out of the box, and he wrestled and chewed on my fingers until he went to sleep.</p>

<p>Stargoyle: And this continued for quite a many many lotta nights.</p>

<p>Stargoyle: Speaking of, lol..,</p>

<p>Gobie: Zzzzz... ZZZzzz...,</p>

<p>Stargoyle: Well that's about it on my Gemini Cat!</p>

<p>Stargoyle gets up and moves to the living room to watch TV</p>

<p>Gobie opens one eye, then another, and slowly sneaks to the keyboard, logs Star out and goes to browse CatFancy websites, lol.</p>&quot;

*Alrighty then it's that time of year again, odd that this is Gemini month as I find myself running into alot of radio talk show aspect noticables. I will say no more because I don't wanna jynx my chances. Us Scorpios play it very very close to the vest, let's just say it's a real real long shot and if anyone so much as Looks at me, I'll probably miss my target. I'm starcrossed to be secretive and mysterious. We're gonna need some open obvious communication from some Geminis instead, lol! SPEAK UP!*&quot;

<p>This is one very quiet Gemini thread we got here.</p>

<p>Is it Geminii, or Geminuses?</p>

<p>Is it One astrosign or Two?</p>

<p>If Twins are born under Gemini does this make them Quadruplets?</p>

<p>If Gemini Siamese Twins are Seperated are they still Geminies?</p>

<p>Geminies or Geminis?</p>

<p>Gobie's Gemini Status hangs in the balance as Stargoyle has just got a book on determining your pet's starsign. Note to Stargoyle, post it dude.</p>&quot;

<p>Re: Hey, this is a true \&quot;Big Bird\&quot; story in Austin, Texas.</p>

<p>----- Original Message -----</p>

<p>Subject: Re: Continued below....This just popped up, Sorry!!!</p>

<p>Here is the story. I'm glad you asked to read my accounts with the big bird because I have never written it down and since I don't talk about it because people will think I'm crazy I have never told the whole story. I sometimes bring it up but before I can tell half of it I am cut off or it turns into a big joke so I never finish.</p>
 
<p>The Thunder Bird or Texas \&quot;Big Bird\&quot; was part of my childhood. Our family moved back to Austin, TX when I was 13 and I lived there till I was 24 but during my teenage years I would go hiking, fishing and shoot B-B guns with my cousin in the woods behind our house.<br />
I remember seeing a huge bird fly over our house on 2 different occasions but I was afraid to say that I saw a dinosaur fly over the house. I tried to talk to my brother about it once who is 2 years older than me and he immediately told me that some people in the 70's had seen a big bird but no one ever figured out what it was so it was determined that it was just an out of place condor or some other big bird.<br />
I didn't think about it until later but he had to have done some research to find out that information. Especially since there was no internet or anything at that time to find information but he seemed to get upset that I even thought it was some sort of dinosaur. I didn't bring it up anymore.<br />
One day while playing in the woods with my cousin and me were running toward an area in the wood where there was a BIG tree. I don't remember it being very tall (I now live in VA where the trees are huge in comparision to TX) but the base of the tree was so big that I guess it would take 5 grown men holding hands to make a circle equal to the circumference of the base. As we were  going toward the tree we heard wings starting to flap so loud and the bird made sure we didn't see it. It broke huge branches to make a quick escape. We knew where it visited but I don't think that was it's home.<br />
On a few other occasions we almost saw the bird up close but it heard us and left to quickly for us to see it.<br />
We would leave our house and go across a creek and then up a big steep hill. Then we would catch our breath and rest a minute just before going over the big hill that lead to the big tree. One time we tried to walk as quietly as possible across toward the tree but the bird heard us immediatly after we came over the hill and flew away. So, the next time a few days later we got almost to the top of the hill and rested then we ran as fast as we could toward the big tree. We just wanted to see the bird and we were so courious to see the bird whose wings flap so loud. We got to the big tree in time to see the big branches (the big bird broke to get away) hit the groud. We made a lot of runs toward the tree with no luck the bird was not there. We just wanted to see it and we were fearless but now when I think about it I don't know what I would have done if it would have come at us.<br />
As I got older playing in the woods just wasn't what it used to be. So, I gave up hope of seeing the bird up close. The times when the bird flew over our house it was at dusk and the bird seemed to glide so I didn't see it move. He was probably about 50 yards up both times and both times he was headed in the same exact flight pattern. He was coming from the street side of our house toward the woods behind it.<br />
One day I was talking to a high school friend and he admitted to me going out to this area that was cleared for a subdivision but then I think the builder backed out or couldn't get the funding and stopped building. Remember the bad 80's economy? : )<br />
Anyway he was out there drinking with some friends after a high school game and then he heard someone yell, \&quot;look at that\&quot; and it looked like a man in a cape walking toward them. The man was covering his face but his eyes were glowing as the man got closer it was appearant that it was not a man but a huge beast. My friend told me the last time he looked it appeared as if it was a huge bird but it covered its face with its wings except for its eyes and it was hunched over and it was still about 6 feet tall. The only way I can describe it was remember the old dracula movies where he would hide his face with his cape and only show his eyes? He told me the bird did that but with both \&quot;arms\&quot; at the same time. He said that he never talked about it because people would think he was crazy but he for some reason trusted me.<br />
Then I had a best friend who told me that his younger brother was down in the same area making out with a girlfriend at night and something evil walked up to the car and he swore he would never go back. He told me that the \&quot;evil\&quot; thing tried to cover his face exactly like my other friend had told me but these two people didn't know each other! So it wasn't like they could have made up the same story.</p>
 
<p>The funny thing is that both people who described it to me didn't explain how the bird hid its face with words they both explained it by hunching over and holding both arms up to thier faces as if play scarades and they both did it exactly alike.</p>
 
<p>Okay so I moved to VA close to DC at 27 years of age and I met this guy named ____ who grew up in Austin about 4 miles from my house but I never knew him in TX. So, one night ____ and his sister went out with me and after a night of fun we went back to thier house. One story lead to another and I fessed up about the Big Bird. They didn't say anything when I finished the story. I felt dumb for bringing it up and nobody ever brought it up again.</p>
 
<p>So, ____'s Dad retired from the Government in DC and moved back to TX to ____ (a small town just south of Austin) a few years later.</p>
 
<p>2 years ago on 4 th of July I went to ____'s house for a get together. ____ is now married with kids and so is his sister and so am I but we still keep in touch. Anyway.......As soon as I pull in the driveway ____'s sister _____ ran outside to meet me and I felt so special for a minute. Her first words were, \&quot;My Mom saw the bird\&quot;. I was actually hoping for a hug or a \&quot;I've missed you\&quot;.  : )</p>
 
<p>I forgot ever telling her my big bird story so I didn't know what she was talking about. She told me a story of her parents going to church on Wednesdays but in different cars because her mom goes to the ladies #### study which ends before the men's #### study so instead of waiting for her husband she goes in a different car.</p>
 
<p>One night after church her mother pulled up to her house and she saw what she thought was a person standing in the ditch in front of her house. The figure hunched over when they saw her headlights. There are kids in the neighborhood so she figured it was a  tall kid playing hide and seek. Kind of couious of this \&quot;kid\&quot; in her yard she looked over and realized there was no kid it was about a 6' tall evil looking bird that hid its face. She backed up and took off until she got down the street and figured no one would believe her so she stopped and tried to make herself believe she imagined the whole thing. She got out her garage door opener and had it in her hand and drove home quickly and to her dismay the bird was still in her yard. She drove in the the garage and closed the door behind her before getting out of the car.</p>
 
<p>Her husband got home half an hour after her but no bird was to be found. He looked in the ditch but found nothing. He laughed at her and told her she made it up.</p>
 
<p>She has since seen the bird one more time but has never got a picture of it. The father still insist she is making it up. Hopefully he will see it to one day.</p>
 
<p>That is it.</p>
 
<p>I hope to go back to Texas one day and film the bird once and for all so others can see it.</p>&quot;

<p>The person who sent me this account, I also put him in touch with D. L. Tanner.   Haven't heard from him for a good long time, but I'm really curious about that creature in Austin.  Sounds almost like something that got stuck in a time hole and couldn't get back.....except that's impossible.</p>&quot;

<p>[I want to say Anything's Possible, but then again, some of it you have to read between the lines while wearing your trusty pair of skeptacles. My mainest motivation is gathering the information, then placing it in veiw minus my biases for feedback from various other parties on it. BTW All, lol D.L. Tanner AKA Danno is an excellent Crypto-Author so, he's probably already heard:</p>

<p>\&quot;Book 'em, Danno.\&quot;</p>

<p>hundreds of times already, so, don't tell him I gave ya that idea!]</p>&quot;

<p>Mant, D. L.  Tanner is not Danno.   Danno writes beautiful short stories, and D. L. is a crypto novelist (<a href="http://www.dltanner.com">www.dltanner.com</a>).</p>

<p>Danno used to be a good friend of mine, but when I came out in my unconditional support of Mary Green and her work, he didn't like me any more, as he has a very low opinion of same.   That's my loss, but what other people think of me is none of my business.   You can't please 'em all.</p>

<p>I have a short story by Danno that I've saved in my Chupa account on Yahoo.   If I send it to you, would you post it here?  Jim Harnock of CZ rejected it a couple of years ago, and then Mary Green asked him to make some changes in it, deleted the cuss words and references to drinking beer, and he wouldn't do it, so she would not post it on her site.   That is unfortunate.  It's a little jewel of a T-bird story, and I would love to see it \&quot;published\&quot; here.   If you would do that, I would let him know about, if his E-mail address is still good.</p>

<p>I understand Mary wanting the changes, as she runs a family web site and lots of children read it.   But Danno felt it would spoil the story to revise it as she wanted.   Mant, would a few low-grade cuss words and reference to beer drinking be a problem for you here on the Metaphorum?   I doubt it, as I've known you to do a little of both when the occasion calls for it, LOL.   You are not foul-mouthed and not a drunkard, so you have no problem, verbally or imbibement-wise.  :D</p>

<p>Let me know, OK?  In fact, I'm gonna send it to you in little bit anyway, even if you can't post it.   It's a delightful little story and I know you'd enjoy it.</p>

<p>It was around a couple of years ago, I was on CZ chat, and Jim H. was there.  Danno came on and they really got into it, and then D. let CZ forever.   So I wrote to him asking what the fuss was about, and D. replied and sent me the little story.   Jim said, according to Dan, that he rejected the story because it did not meet his literary standards, or words to that effect.   Well, I took issue with that and begged to differ.   CZ.com is hardly the New Yorker or some such thing.   There was nothing wrong whatsoever with Dan's little story.   Nearly 40 years ago, I got a useless degree in literature from UT-Austin, and while it was in Spanish rather than in English, I also studied lots of English and German literature too--all in the original languages, and in my humble opinion, Jim was in error.   But what hurt me was that Dan took it so much to heart instead of blowing it off, like I would have done, but then, fortunately for me, LOL, I sure don't base my self-esteem on my writing skills.  It I did, I'd be nowhere on my way to no place!   Actually, my writing career consisted of a bunch of really stupid poems that were published in the Windmill in 1974, which was the student literary magazine at OU-Norman, OK.   All I remember was that one of them was about some cows laying under a mesquite tree, LOLOL, and how much they enjoyed the shade.   Good thing I didn't aspire to a literary career, ROTFLM*O!</p>

<p>But anyway, Dan getting hurt really stuck in my craw, so I later suggested he submit the story to Mary Green for her site.   I didn't realize that Mary runs a strict Christian family site and wouldn't want any beer drinking stories posted.   Not her fault or Dan's either.   She asked him to delete the beer, which he wouldn't do, so I've waited a long time to find an opportunity for his little T-bird story to make it to a web site!</p>

<p>It's kind of funny how one small thing, which would seem trivial to some people, would stick in my heart like a hook for years.   But if I were not that weird way, I wouldn't have suggested the story to you, so all's well that ends well.  :)</p>&quot;

<p>I still advocate Mary posting a disclaimer to site applicants/newbies that you'd better not profess to be of a belief in God that does not match our's or you'll scare our very fragile but more valued members, lol. Ouch, guess I'm still stinging. Christiazoology, blah. Hear Hear D!]</p>&quot;

<p>Mant, I have to say that you live a more Christian life than 99% of the population, including those who hit the church every time the door opens.   I know Jesus is very proud of you, regardless of whether you practice the traditional religion.   Religion doesn't matter, it's spirituality that counts.   When I get to see Jesus in heaven, He's not gonna ask me what church I belonged to or how often I attended.  He's going to ask me if I did what He wanted me to do as best I knew how in terms of treating other people the way I would like to be treated, being kind to people, animals and the earth, and practicing unconditional love....in other words, in terms of service work, He's gonna ask us, \&quot;How did you live your life?\&quot;</p>

<p>If I'm lucky, I'll get a passing grade.   Even a D+ will do, as long as I can get into the door.   I do believe we are judged by the light we walk in, regardless of religious beliefs or lack of them.   Case closed.</p>

<p>Mant, don't worry about that board.   My dear friend (and yours), Fishead, got banned because his web site sends out spyware cookies, which he can't help or do anything about.   But his spiritual beliefs are about the same as yours, and he says he would have left eventually on account of that.</p>

<p>You have to remember that lots of those board members are LOLs--meaning little old ladies.   I say, let them practice whatever means of faith that comforts them.  If they cannot stand to hear alternative points of view, well, there are such unfortunates.  It is not their fault.   They seem to have been born that way.</p>

<p>As for me, I care so little what other people believe in terms of religion that it doesn't bother me when the fundamentalists start their ####-thumping.   To each his own, whatever gets them through the day is okay....with me, anyway.   Live and let live, sez me!  :D</p>&quot;

<p>Well, I was finally able to get on at last!   Good on us.</p>

<p>I've already informed Dan and Dave about the Phorum.  Dave, however, never posts on any board except his own now, says he has too little time, can barely keep up on his own board due to his constant production of his beautiful art work.   I haven't heard back from Dan since he said thanks to both of us for getting his story posted.  I did send him your site and the info.</p>

<p>Mant, I've already got you told, what other people think of you is none of your business.  If offensive people show up on the phorum, just ban their....uh, fannies.   You lead a far more Christian life than they do.   Being a Christian, like being a member of Bill W.'s friends, should be a program of attraction, not promotion.   Jesus is in your heart by your own spiritual connection to the Creator, whether you practice any religion or not.   It's how you live your life that's important....how you treat other people, animals and the earth.  So don't worry about those book-thumpers.   They are grossly unenlightened.</p>&quot;

<p>Parting with a Pet</p>

<p>New medical advances can help you prolong your dog&acirc;&euro;&trade;s or cat&acirc;&euro;&trade;s life&acirc;&euro;\&quot;but that doesn&acirc;&euro;&trade;t necessarily mean you should</p>

<p>Oct. 8 - Boo Boo Kitty is no more. In the end, the end was quite sudden. In the few months since I had written the medical saga of Boo Boo Kitty (his real name was Sam but somehow the ridiculous nickname stuck), he had seemed to be doing well, although there were some troubling issues that I recognize now in retrospect.</p>

<p>My move to another home in early August hadn&acirc;&euro;&trade;t sat well with him, and more recently I had noticed that he was no longer jumping with the alacrity and grace he once had.<br />
But he had seemed well enough.</p>

<p>And at a party Saturday for a handful of friends he purred and rolled around affectionately as the guests oohed and ahed over his exotic coloring and his sweet demeanor.</p>

<p>But when I came home after dinner that night, it was immediately clear that Boo Boo was not all right. He did not greet me at the door as he invariably did, standing on his hind legs waiting to be picked up under his front legs and stretched out, a nightly ritual. Instead, he was crouching on a shelf in my desk. He patiently took the two pills I gave him-another nightly ritual&acirc;&euro;\&quot;but he declined to eat and walked away. When I picked him up, he emitted a low growl of discomfort. His breathing had begun to pick up.</p>

<p>Last year, Boo Boo was diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, a most unpleasant condition for both him and me. But medication and a change in diet helped control it. He was also suffering from some sort of heart disease, which caused fluid to build up in his chest cavity, compressing his lungs. And he had an overactive thyroid. In all, he took up to six pills a day to control his various maladies. In the dark days last fall, when he was constantly at his veterinarian&acirc;&euro;&trade;s office or when we had gone to a pricey specialty center for further diagnoses and exploratory treatment, I had often wondered if I was doing it for me or for him. When did the treatment diminish his quality of life to such a degree that it was cruel to continue?</p>

<p>Boo Boo Kitty</p>

<p>Boo Boo&acirc;&euro;&trade;s decline Saturday night was rapid and all the more surprising because he had seemed in such good spirits early in the evening. By early Sunday morning, his breathing was extremely shallow and rapid. Raising his head when I spoke to him or petted him seemed to require enormous exertion. In the darkened early hours, I took him to an emergency animal clinic. I knew, even then, that he would not be returning home.</p>

<p>The doctor put him in an enclosed cage designed to provide oxygen to his struggling system. After he stabilized a bit, X-rays were taken and they showed, once again, a large amount of fluid surrounding and compressing his lungs. The doctor performed a procedure to drain the fluid, but Boo Boo was too weak to tolerate much physical intervention. Other drugs were administered to try to help relieve the pressure. They worked, at least to the extent that the fluid decreased. But his breathing, if anything, worsened. By now my regular veterinarian, who had seen Boo Boo through previous crises, had arrived. She suspected that his quick and catastrophic decline may have been caused by a clot in his lung. Both she and the clinic doctor gently began to prepare me for the worst-and for the decision I would have to make.</p>

<p>In my story of Boo Boo Kitty&acirc;&euro;&trade;s medical travails a few months ago, I asked the question all loving pet owners must often face: when is it all too much? The question is based in part on the assumption that the treatments&acirc;&euro;\&quot;so plentiful, so much more sophisticated today, and often extremely expensive&acirc;&euro;\&quot;will help the pet, though the accompanying pain and the effect on the quality of life may also be severe.</p>

<p>This time, I knew that the treatments could not save Boo Boo. They could only prolong his pain. When I called his name and petted him, he raised his head for only a second. He could do no more. After I lifted him out of his oxygen cage to hold him for a few seconds and then placed him back inside, his breathing became even more labored. I knew the time had come. I would have to face the companion question to the &acirc;&euro;&oelig;When is it too much?&acirc;&euro; question: when do you end your pet&acirc;&euro;&trade;s life? They may not be able to speak words to guide your decision but their visible pain and suffering send a powerful message. The doctor brought Boo Boo to me wrapped in a towel and I held him while she administered the final drugs.</p>

<p>Cynics may scoff, but I noticed a striking difference when he was gone. His eyes, which had been watery blue with distress and pain, had returned to the cerulean brilliance of his youth. Perhaps, wherever he was now, he was seeing a bird or a mouse or a toy-some prey that he could once again chase.</p>

<p>That&acirc;&euro;&trade;s what I choose to believe anyway.</p>

<p>(With all that said, we're announcing our retirement from The MetaPhorum also, so we'll be parting from you, but not forgotten either way. We are however holding in our furry hearts a space for a new Pets Host for the Phorum, if you got a deep love of animals, pets, and respect for all, or at least 99.99999999% of earth's lifeforms, apply to Metaphorm or another host for consideration! Happy Hunting and May the Mice ever be plentiful!)</p>&quot;

IN fact they're the two healthiest lifeforms in our domicile at this time. We are still seeking a good Pets host, and any other hosts-esses who want to claim a specialty can do so, and in doing so, inject in their own passion, experience and expertise to liven up that section.

Okay nothing more to my Virgoan aspects except the 3rd house, no planets within, but 3rd housed it's at 21'26'26. That's house positions Placidus</p>

yes i am nut's and i will try really hard to be clinical and precise</p>

<p>Virgo's are my favourite nemesis and i theirs</p>

<p>I mess and run off to the next project and they are right behind me reminding me to clean as i go!!??</p>

<p>Cleanliness and uniformity, structure...god's help anyone stupid enough to mess with a Virgo or their stuff</p>

<p>Ultimately if it wasn't for Virgo we would never have discovered waiting in a line and all would be chaos</p>

<p>{Bloodgeon!}<br />
I hope that Virgo in my 3rd house is keeping it clean.</p>

<p>MonotarRach<br />
You can count on it...best you warn 2nd and 4th house though cause if they are messy the Virgo just might cross the line to keep the borders clear of clutter</p>

<p>Metaphorm<br />
Never, this mess...STAYS messy!<br />

Virgo<br />
The Myth:<br />
Prim, proper and pedantic. Fussy and fastidious. Organised and ordered. These are the words that they use when describing those born under this sign. Virgos are, say the so-called experts, obsessed with detail. They are list-makers and line-drawers, i dotters and t crossers, law abiding, protocol following readers of small print.</p>

<p>The Truth:<br />
Oh no they're not. First of all, the goddess that governs Virgo is not a symbol of celibacy but a figure of fecundity. She is Ceres; the harvest queen who stands for all that is voluptuous and abundant. Virgo is a sensual sign and Virgos are pleasure-loving people. They like to live life to the full and they also like to do things to the very best of their ability. It is from this that their reputation for having high standards has come. They can be picky, it's true but only about things that matter to them. And as for being terribly tidy well, some may be but most are just happy enough to know where things are. To a Virgo, tidiness is a psychological state not a physical one.</p>

<p>The Key To Success:<br />
All zodiac signs are, of course, created equal. An astrologer cannot possibly say that some are better than others to belong to. But, er... well look, if you're quite sure nobody else is reading this, Virgo is a very special sign. There's absolutely nothing you need to alter in order to be successful in life - other, perhaps, than your tendency to be a little too self critical at times.</p>

<p>{Bloodgeon!}<br />
SO.. There are NO Excuses for any Virgo to be icy, distant, and act like they have something rigid injected to their posterior region other than CHOICE! I can think of 11,112 reasons not to be so analytical you miss out on teh big picture.</p>

<p>Enjoy life, toss the clip board, take off your \&quot;skeptacles\&quot; and fly with the true meaning of who you are.</p>&quot;

<p>Mutable Earth sign Virgo, symbolizes wholeness and healing. Dualities of body/mind, sexuality/spirituality are united in her fertile soil. Striving for purity and perfection, attention to detail and service to others, are the hallmarks of Virgo. The original meaning of Virgin was a woman who was independent and free to express her sexuality as she chose. Sex was a spiritual activity as expressed by the Hearth goddess Vesta and the Vestal Virgins who tended the sacred life spirit flame. Associated with all growing things Virgo is revered in agricultural goddesses of corn and grain worldwide. The Wise Crone of the tarot shines her light within to see the intricacy of universal patterns.</p>&quot;

<br />
heh, well. that yon face of yours blasted me right outta tc! actually, i tried to close the tab after a quick look, expecting it to have opened in a separate tab, er, page for the sake of keeping it simple for you IE creatures, but it had, in fact, opened in the same page. so, i closed myself right out of tc. blast attachments! sigh.<br />
<br />
if you would like to link images to your posts, this is ALL you have to type! er, and remember to check that little box for html tags.<br />

of course, there's other pretty stuff you can do to, like centering the image, or you can give it a border, or put it in a table with a LOVELY background too.<br />

(to put a border on the image... the "3" is the width, and it can be anything you want it to be! border colors can be changed to, but i'll not get into that. UNLESS somebody WANTS to know... anybody?? huh? yeah yeah?? heh.&quot;

<br />
<font color="red">&#60;font face=&#34;allegro bt&#34;&#62;</font> changes what font you use, anything in place of &#34;allegro bt&#34;, ie &#34;arial&#34;, can be used, depending on your font preference. <font color="red">&#60;font color=&#34;purple&#34;&#62;</font> changes your font color, again, anything in place of &#34;purple&#34; can be used. there are tons of colors available, and you can make your own colors too!<br />
<br />
when you use any of these tags though, you must also remember to close the tag. a &#34;/&#34; closes the tag. tags like &#60;br /&#62; and img tags have the closing slash in them already, and they are called &#34;single tags&#34;. tags for font face and font color must be closed when you are finished with the face or color (usually just at the end of the page).<br />
<br />
both of these tags are closed with <font color="red">&#60;/font&#62;</font> ... therefore, at the end of your post, you would need...<br />

<p>Virgo: The Inner You</p>

<p>You have plenty of willpower and dedication, and you work harder than anyone to make sure something is perfect. Why? Because if you can't do everything superbly, you begin to fear that you're failing. You are too critical of yourself. Actually, you're an enigma that no one has quite figured out yet. You hold back with people you don't know well and are reserved even with those you love. Inwardly, though, you feel very deeply. Intensity and extreme sensitivity are part of your secret self. You like looking after others--giving advice to friends, feeding stray animals, tending sick plants--but you need to be appreciated for the kind things you do. Above all, you want to be useful because you truly care about people.</p>&quot;

 	<br />
<b>Virgo’s Amorous Combinations</b><br />
<br />
<b>Virgo and Aries</b> Virgo can be intrigued by Aries’s audaciousness, but Virgo’s prudent ways will soon clash with Aries’s colourful personality. They have difficulty communicating, because Virgo wants to talk and Aries wants to act. Their arguments will probably be more passionate than their lovemaking. Aries will think Virgo inhibited; Virgo will consider Aries impulsive and wild. Aries like a flamboyant social life; Virgo is happy with quite, intellectual friends. Aries is also the type to bring out Virgo’s worst habits of nitpicking and nagging. Exit romance.<br />
<br />
<b>Virgo and Taurus</b> Virgo is analytical while Taurus is sensuous, but Taurus’s strong passions can spark Virgo. If that happens, they make lovely love. Practical, down-to-earth, satisfied with the tried-and-true, these two have much in common. Both try to build for a secure future, both are homebodies, both share a fondness for money. Virgo’s rational approach and Taurus’s persistence are also a good moneymaking combination. Auguries couldn’t be more promising.<br />
<br />
<b>Virgo and Gemini</b> They are attracted to each other because of a mutual interest in intellectual ideas. Both have active minds, but the rapport ends there. Gemini’s amorous nature is too impulsive and unstable to suit Virgo. Gemini dismisses Virgo as a stick-in-the-mud. Virgo considers Gemini irresponsible and adolescent. Gemini needs freedom to pursuer its varied interests. Virgo resents this, and will nag and try to dominate. Gemini will soon stray to other lovers.<br />
<br />
<b>Virgo and Cancer</b> A stimulating affair, for they arouse each other’s beneath-the-surface sensuality. Cancer isn’t too forceful, which suits Virgo fine. And the little attentions won’t be neglected, which suits Virgo even better. Cancer is affectionate and sentimental and makes Virgo feel secure. This couple also likes money and domestic comfort, and Cancer’s dependency fits perfectly with Virgo’s protectiveness. On the downside, both tend to be overcritical. On the upside, each draws the other out of its shell.<br />
<br />
<b>Virgo and Leo</b> Highly physical Leo takes it as a personal affront if Virgo doesn’t match its leonine ardor. Virgo’s passive and reserved nature frustrates Leo and leads to quarrels. Virgo isn’t quick to hand out praise, and Leo lives on nothing but. Leo is a spendthrift, Virgo is careful with pennies. They’re both very independent, but Leo exhibits this in a temperamental way, while Virgo is very private. Virgo simply will not be dominated by tyrannical Leo, and always has its guard up. This affair has a shorted life than a mayfly.<br />
<br />
<b>Virgo and Virgo</b> All is smooth sailing as long as these perfectionists curb their instincts for finding fault. Actually, they bring out the very best in each other. They are responsible, sensitive, intelligent, and take love seriously. They also share passions of the mind and will never bore each other. Both think that there are more important things in life than sex; they may end up just talking in bed. There will probably be a continual contest over who is leader, but they have too much else in common for that to matter.<br />
<br />
<b>Virgo and Libra</b> Libra is too frivolous and shallow for Virgo’s taste. Libra enjoys spending money, going to parties, and being the center of attention. Virgo criticizes and makes Libra feel unloved. Libra may tap Virgo’s hidden sensuality, but their personalities are altogether too different for real compatibility. Virgo will try to curb and dominate Libra’s fickle and outer-directed nature. Virgo is reserved and practical, and Libra views this as a personal rebuff. Libra will soon drift away in search of more fun-loving companions.<br />
<br />
<b>Virgo and Scorpio</b> Sensual Scorpio keeps trying to entice Virgo into ever-bolder sexual adventures. But Virgo is pleased because Scorpio is also possessive and fiercely loyal, which makes Virgo feel loved and protected. They also admire each other’s minds. Virgo is logical, intellectual, analytical. Scorpio is imaginative, visionary, and perceptive. Each sometimes has trouble expressing real feelings: Scorpio is volatile but secretive; Virgo is self-restrained and reserved. There may be some conflict about who runs things, but Virgo’s willingness to compromise keeps Scorpio tractable.<br />
<br />
<b>Virgo and Sagittarius</b> There two are like the grasshopper and the ant. Sagittarius’s free spirit has nothing in common with hardworking Virgo. Sagittarius has a reckless gambler’s spirit, while Virgo carefully builds for future security. Both are intellectual signs, but the way their minds work clashes with each other. Sagittarius is expansive and extravagant, while Virgo prefers a simple, ordered, and unpretentious life. Sagittarius considers Virgo’s sexual attitudes rather prudish, and won’t stay long in one bedroom anyway.<br />
<br />
<b>Virgo and Capricorn</b> A harmonious pairing. Capricorn’s ambition and drive for success meshes well with Virgo’s perfectionism and energy. Both are diligent, disciplined, and have a sense of purpose. They admire one another and take great pride in pleasing each other. Both need respect and approval (though neither will confess this), and each intuitively gives the other exactly that. Sexual compatibility becomes a mutual achievement; in lovemaking, thought, Capricorn usually takes the lead.<br />
<br />
<b>Virgo and Aquarius</b> They are both rational and intellectual and tend to view love in the abstract, but similarity ends there. Aquarius has venturesome ideas and thinks Virgo unresponsive or cold. Actually, each has a distant quality: Virgo is cautious about emotional giving; Aquarius’s thoughts are in the far-off clouds. Aquarius is interested in other people, in causes, and in setting the world right. Virgo seeks personal achievement and financial security. Aquarius is outgoing, inventive, a visionary. Virgo is reserved, prudent, and very practical about its ambitions. This couple may not even make it as friends.<br />
<br />
<b>Virgo and Pisces</b> To Virgo, love means security and mental compatibility. To Pisces, love is a sweeping, all-enveloping emotion. At first Virgo is powerfully attracted to Pisces, as opposites often are: sentimental, in-love-with-love Pisces is very intriguing to Virgo, and Pisces is fascinated by Virgo’s incisive, analytical mind. However, disillusion quickly set in. Pisces’s extravagance, secretiveness, and dreaminess frustrate pragmatic, orderly Virgo. Also, Virgo isn’t likely to adapt to some of Pisces’s sexual preferences.&quot;

<p>Virgo From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search See Virgo (astrology) for the astrological sign, VIRGO (physics) for the French-Italian project in physics and John Virgo for the snooker player Virgo Mythology Who exactly Virgo was considered to represent is uncertain; in history, it has been associated with nearly every prominent goddess, including Ishtar, Isis, Cybele, Mary, Mother of Jesus, and Athena. Virgo may also feature, along with Ursa Major, and Ursa Minor, as part of the source of the myth of Callisto, either as Callisto herself, or as Hera. Persephone (who in some mythologies, notably the Eleusinian Mysteries, was considered to be a form of Demeter) is often mentioned as well, Virgo being visible mainly in the spring months when she was believed to have risen from the underworld. According to one interpretation, the constellation depicts Astraea, the virgin daughter of the god Zeus and the goddess Themis. Astraea was known as the goddess of justice, and was identified as this constellation due to the presence of the scales of justice Libra nearby, and supposedly ruled the world at one point with her wise ways until mankind became so callous she returned to skies disgusted. Astrology In western astrology the sun is in the sign of Virgo from August 23 to September 22.

<p>E-mail message</p>

<p>Subject: Fwd: Gonna be a bear!!<br />
--------------------------------<br />
Note: forwarded message attached.</p>
 
<p>Gonna be a bear:</p>
 
<p>In this life I'm a woman.  In my next life, I'd like to come back as a bear.  When you're a bear, you get to hibernate.  You do nothing but sleep for six months. <br />
I could deal with that. <br />
Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid.  I could deal with that, too.  When you're a girl bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you're sleeping and wake to partially grown, cute cuddly cubs. <br />
I could definitely deal with that. <br />
If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business.  You swat anyone who bothers your cubs.  If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too. <br />
I could deal with that. <br />
If you're a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling.  He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat. <br />
Yup.....gonna be a bear.</p>&quot;

Sense of a Goose<br />
--Author Unknown</p>

<p>When you see geese flying along in \&quot;V\&quot; formation, you might consider what science has discovered as to why they fly that way:</p>

<p>As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in \&quot;V\&quot; formation, the whole flock adds at least 71 percent greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.</p>

<p>People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and easily because they are traveling on the thrust of one another.</p>

<p>When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone, and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front.</p>

<p>If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those people who are headed the same way we are.</p>

<p>When the head goose gets tired, it rotates back in the wing and another goose flies point.</p>

<p>It is sensible to take turns doing demanding jobs, whether with people or with geese flying south.</p>

<p>Geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.</p>

<p>What messages do we give when we honk from behind?</p>

<p>Finally ... and this is important ... when a goose gets sick or is wounded by gunshot, and falls out of formation, two other geese fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly or until it dies, and only then do they launch out on their own, or with another formation to catch up with their group.</p>

<p>If we have the sense of a goose, we will stand by each other like that.</p>&quot;

<p>{MOre on the Bear Archetype!}</p>

<p>E-mail message</p>

<p>Subject: A Bear ....</p>

<p>A bear walks into a bar in Billings, Montana and sits down.</p>

<p>He bangs on the bar with his paw and demands a beer.</p>

<p>The bartender approaches and says, \&quot;We don't serve beer to bears in bars in Billings.\&quot;</p>

<p>The bear, becoming angry, demands again that he be served a beer.</p>

<p>The bartender tells him again, more forcefully, \&quot;We don't serve beer to belligerent bears in bars in Billings.\&quot;</p>

<p>The bear, very angry now, says, \&quot;If you don't serve me a beer, I'm going to eat that lady sitting at the end of the bar.\&quot;</p>

<p>The bartender says, \&quot;Sorry, we don't serve beer to belligerent, bully bears in bars in Billings.\&quot;</p>

<p>The bear goes to the end of the bar, and, as promised, eats the woman. He comes back to his seat and again demands a beer.</p>

<p>The bartender states, \&quot;Sorry, we don't serve beer to belligerent, bully bears in bars in Billings who are on drugs.\&quot;<br />
The bear says, \&quot;I'm NOT on drugs.\&quot;</p>

<p>                    .........You're gonna love this..........</p>
 
<p>The bartender says, \&quot;You are now. That was a barbit__youate.\&quot;</p>&quot;

A little info about you Rats</p>

<p>Generally, the rat is thought of as a bottom-dwelling disease carrier,however, in Eastern Cultures this animal is viewed much differently.<br />
The rat is revered for its quick wits and its ability to accrue and hold on to items of value; rats are considered a symbol of good luck and wealth in both China and Japan. Clever and quick-witted, the Rat of the Chinese Zodiac is utterly disarming to boot.</p>

<p>Having excellent taste, this Sign flaunts its style at every turn. Its natural charm and sharp, funny demeanor make it an appealing friend for almost anyone. The Rat likes to know who is on its side and will treat its most loyal friends with an extra measure of protection and generosity.</p>

<p>Behind that sweet smile, though, Rats are keen and unapologetic promoters of their own agendas. This Sign is motivated by its own interests, which often include money; greed can become a problem if the Rat isn't careful to keep its priorities straight. This Sign's natural powers of charm and persuasion can definitely come in handy! Although they are often hoarders, Rats can be very generous to those in their \&quot;pack,\&quot; namely friends and family members who have proven their loyalty. Others might perceive them as quick-tempered and sharp-tongued, but never boorish. Verbal jousting is a great pleasure for the Rat, a Sign that everyone around will quickly learn either to love or to hate.</p>

<p>Rats enjoy being on the outside looking in, as the outside affords a view into the inner workings of a system or situation. The Rat's keen mind always seeks out new knowledge, to be stored away for future use. This ever-curious Sign also welcomes challenges as a way to stay sharp. If boredom sets in the Rat is no fun at all, but that isn't likely; this Sign knows how to keep itself entertained.</p>

<p>A valuable lesson for Rats is to learn to consider others above themselves, at least sometimes. If they can develop their sense of self and realize it leaves room for others in their life as well, Rats could find true happiness.</p>

<p>The most compatible match for a Rat is Dragon or Monkey!</p>

<p>A little info about you Ox's</p>

<p>The Ox of Chinese Astrology is no bull in a china shop. Steadfast and solid, this powerful Sign is a born leader, being quite dependable and possessing an innate ability to achieve great things. Oxen tend to be plodding and methodical; they approach projects in the step-by-step manner that serves them best, and they never lose sight of their goal. They are tireless workers who are detail-oriented and believe in doing things right the first time.</p>

<p>The world may perceive Oxen as being far too serious or incapable of loosening up. This sturdy sort is less than social by nature and tends to become introverted in a crowd. To make things worse, they can't be bothered with what other people think and prefer to do what makes them feel best. Behind that calm facade, though, lives an Ox who can feel hurt, lonely and unable to connect with others.</p>

<p>Friends and family are a great source of comfort to this beast, even if they don't always understand what makes the Ox tick.</p>

<p>As a lover, friend, family member or housemate, the Ox makes a wonderfully strong, tender and affectionate companion who is protective and always reliable.</p>

<p>Out in the world, though, Oxen tend to be stubborn, dogmatic, my-way-or-the-Poisoned*way kind of people who have no concept of when to back down. Oxen don't care to be pushed, especially since they think they're the good guys of the Chinese Zodiac. There is some truth to that theory, since the Ox is smart, trustworthy, caring and honorable. If you need honest, steady and unbiased advice, call on the Ox.</p>

<p>A good lesson for mighty Oxen is to strive to overcome a judgmental nature that keeps them from getting close to others. If they can learn to value their own good qualities, they'll have more room in their hearts to invite others in.</p>

<p>The most compatible match for an Ox is the Snake or the Rooster.</p>

<p>Manticore the Big Cobalt Ox</p>

Maybe if we round up all of the ox's....we can stomp out the other animals one by one....more room on the ark that way</p>

A little info about you Tiger's</p>

<p>Tigers may not be the king of the jungle, but these striped cats are no softies! Magnetic and self-possessed, Tigers are born leaders. They have an air of authority that prompts others to fall in line, which is exactly how they like it. Although they are magnetically charming and fun to be around, Tigers like to go it alone sometimes too. A Tiger's main interest is in following its ambitions -- and maintaining control.</p>

<p>Tigers are courageous beyond compare and generally come out ahead in battle, be it in the boardroom or the bedroom.</p>

<p>Seduction is one area where the Tiger is definitely king! Noble and warm-hearted, Tigers have a natural, raw appeal that's extremely attractive to other Signs. They're not just about attraction, though; ever on the side of right, Tigers will fight the good fight to the bitter end if the cause is worthy. Opponents are wise to fear this feline.</p>

<p>A bit of caution is a good thing around Tigers, since they can pounce without warning. They experience mood swings and often feel things more intensely than others, the latter quality being both good and bad. They can react poorly under stress and are prone to emotional outbursts. This Sign's bristling sensitivity can send friend and foe running for cover.</p>

<p>A lesson that Tigers would be well-served to learn is \&quot;moderation in all things.\&quot; Once these cats can find their center and direct their considerable energies toward worthwhile endeavors (as opposed to racing through life), they will accomplish much.</p>

<p>The most compatible match for a Tiger is the Horse or the Dog.</p>

SAys somewheres I got Rabbit in my Astrology, but I dont see myself as a Rabbit type person.., Rabid? Maybe, but, hop hop hop, Naawh.</p>

<p>Jojara<br />
A little info about you Rabbit's</p>

<p>Timid and attractive, the Rabbits of the Chinese Zodiac tend to act more like bunnies, whether they like it or not! This Sign is extremely popular and has a wide circle of family and friends. Its compassionate nature leads it to be very protective of those it holds dear, but where romance is concerned, the Rabbit's sentimentality can lead it to idealize relationships.</p>

<p>The sweet, sensitive Rabbit often ends up giving more of itself to a partner than is realistic or healthy. The good news is, when this Sign goes off-balance, the Rabbit's core group of friends and its stable home life help bring it back to center.</p>

<p>The Rabbit is a rather delicate Sign that needs a solid base in order to thrive. Lacking close, supportive friends and family, the Rabbit might just break down in tears at the first sign of conflict. Emotional upsets in this Sign's life can even lead to physical illnesses. Rabbits dislike arguments and other conflict and will try anything to avoid a fight; this results in something of a pushover nature. Rabbits can also lapse into pessimism and may seem stuck in life -- often to mask their insecure natures.</p>

<p>Rabbits tend to move through life's lessons at their own, rather contemplative pace; it's a waste of time to become exasperated with this Sign's seeming disinterest in facing its problems and conquering them.</p>

<p>With the right partner -- meaning someone whose high principles won't allow it to take advantage of this sensitive, giving Sign -- the Rabbit can make an incredibly loving and protective partner or family member. Rabbits love to entertain at home and always make sure their house is comfortable and tastefully-furnished.</p>

<p>What Rabbits need most is a stronger sense of self-worth and the security that comes with it. Their discerning natures, coupled with some hard-wonertiveness, will help these happy creatures go far.</p>

<p>The most compatible match for a Rabbit is the Goat or the Pig.</p>&quot;

A little info about you Dragon's</p>

<p>The Dragon is one of the most powerful and lucky Signs of the Chinese Zodiac.</p>

<p>Its warm heart makes the Dragon's brash, fiery energy far more palatable.<br />
This is a giving, intelligent and tenacious Sign that knows exactly what it wants and is determined to get it.</p>

<p>Dragons possess a certain natural, charming charisma that ensures they can always influence their peers and often find themselves the center of attention in social situations. This Sign is truly blessed, too; Dragons are considered to be very lucky in love!</p>

<p>The Dragon's friends are always keen to hear what this firebrand has to say and when it comes to dispensing advice, the Dragon has the floor.</p>

<p>Its ego can get in the Dragon's way, but even so, this larger-than-life creature has a knack for initiating projects and keeping the troops motivated. According to Dragons, it's their natural born right to lead the way -- because who else could do it so surely and so well? As lucky as they are, Dragons have a good chance of achieving considerable material wealth during their lifetimes, although it isn't mere money that's this Sign's main motivation. Power is what the Dragon wants and truly believes it deserves. Dragons are quite the opportunists, forever searching for ways in which to consolidate their considerable power. Contrary to all this strength and fire, a weakened Dragon is a sad sack, a creature that refuses to take defeat with even a modicum of grace.</p>

<p>The role of leader is the only one the Dragon wants, the better from which to give orders and be king of the hill.</p>

<p>They make solid leaders, too, knowing instinctively what needs to be done to stay on top. Crossing the Dragon is never a good idea -- this beast can singe! A valuable life lesson for this clever creature would be to absorb the principles of flexibility, compassion and tolerance. Being high and mighty can serve to inspire others, but it also keeps Dragons from living their lives to the fullest. If Dragons can learn to balance their quest for success with an appreciation for the little things, their life will be more than worthwhile.</p>

<p>The most compatible match for a Dragon is the Monkey or the Rat.</p>

A little info about you Snake's</p>

<p>Diplomatic and popular, the Snake has the sensual art of seduction down. This Sign is an interesting mix of gregariousness paired with introversion, intuitive reasoning paired with savvy business skills.</p>

<p>Snakes are considered to be lucky with money and will generally have more than enough to live life to the fullest, regardless of how important it considers money to be; this may be due to the fact that Snakes tend to be rather tight with cash. They're not stingy, they're simply more mentally than physically active. Snakes tend to hang back a bit in order to analyze a situation before jumping into it. Their charming, seductive quality actually belies a rather retiring nature; this Sign is perfectly happy to spend the whole day curled up with a good book and, thus, can be mislabeled as being lazy.</p>

<p>The Snake is somewhat insecure deep down and tend to be a rather jealous, possessive lover, behavior that can end up alienating loved ones. Despite these less-than-stellar tendencies, however, the Snake often proves irresistible and is a generous, loving partner..</p>

<p>Slightly dangerous and disarmingly smart, the Snake's philosophical and intuitive mind generally supersedes logic in favor of feelings and instinct. Snakes will rely on their own gut reactions and intuitions before turning to others for suggestions. This makes this Sign a great hand in any business venture, possessing the caution and smarts needed to get ahead.</p>

<p>Snakes are hard workers (when they see good reason to be!) and are possessed of a keen intelligence. Snakes have incredible follow-through, once they get going, and they expect the same from others. Thus, their coworkers and employees had best stay on their toes, lest they anger the Snake and suffer its poisonous bite!</p>

<p>In general, of course, Snakes are generous and genteel, charming and appealing. Snakes must try to learn humility and to develop a stronger sense of self. Once Snakes realize that confidence comes from within, they will finally be comfortable in their own skin.</p>

<p>The most compatible match for a Snake is the Rooster or the Ox.</p>

May the Horse be With You, Always!<br />
Yeah okay ba-a-a-d joke, which brings me next to....,</p>

<p>Jojara<br />
A little info about you Horse's</p>

<p>Thank goodness for open spaces, because the Horse needs plenty of room to roam!<br />
Energetic, good with money and very fond of travel, Horses are the nomads of the Chinese Zodiac, roaming from one place or project to the next. All of this Sign's incessant activity and searching may be to satisfy a deep-rooted desire to fit in.</p>

<p>Paradoxically, Horses feel a simultaneous yearning for independence and freedom.</p>

<p>Horses crave love and intimacy, which is a double-edged sword since it often leads them to feel trapped. Love connections tend to come easily to Horses, since they exude the kind of raw sex appeal that is a magnet to others. This Sign tends to come on very strong in the beginning of the relationship, having an almost innate sense of romance and seduction. Horses are seducers in general; check out any A-list party and you're bound to find the Horse in attendance. This Sign possesses a sharp wit and a scintillating presence; it really knows how to work a crowd. Surprisingly, Horses tend to feel a bit inferior to their peers, a misconception that causes them to drift from group to group out of an irrational fear of being exposed as a fraud.</p>

<p>An impatient streak can lead Horses to be less than sensitive to others' needs. These colts would rather take a situation firmly in hand as opposed to waiting for others to weigh in or come to terms with it. The lone wolf inside the Horse can at times push others away, but this also makes this Sign stronger and is a key to its success.</p>

<p>Horses are self-reliant and, though they might lose interest fast in a tedious, nine-to-five day job, are willing to do the work necessary to get ahead.</p>

<p>Horses tend not to look much at the big picture; instead they just follow their whims, which can result in a trail of prematurely ended relationships, jobs, projects and so on. This Sign really knows how to motivate others, though, and get a lot accomplished. Once they find some peace within themselves, they can curb their wandering tendencies and learn to appreciate what's in their own backyard.</p>

<p>The most compatible match for a Horse is the Dog or the Tiger.</p>

<p>Pixie is a horse, and she does alot of running, away. If she was a horse she'd hate me, I've eaten horse in Germany and it was like one of the best types of Shish-ka-bob I ever HAD! (to heck with riding those darn things, invite em over for din din!)</p>&quot;

A little info about you Goat's</p>

<p>Daydreaming all afternoon sounds heavenly to the Goat. This creative, esoteric Sign needs plenty of time alone in which to feed its Muse. Goats are generally most comfortable in their own minds (which other, more linear-thinking Signs may have trouble deciphering). This Sign makes a great craftsperson or artisan, or perhaps a teacher of New Age studies -- any occupation that allows its mind the full range of freedom. Goats tend not to be very well-organized, precluding many more dry business endeavors. In fact, Goats tend not to be very materialistic in general, finding plenty of riches in their own imagination. However, especially when in love, the Goat can be quite a lavish gift-giver.</p>

<p>Perhaps it's that artistic temperament that so often causes Goats to feel insecure, but the result is that these high-strung creatures need to feel loved and admired lest they start worrying incessantly. For this reason, Goats tend to have a hard time with romance; anyone who couples up with a Goat must know, this Sign has a sensitive streak a mile wide and can be subject to bouts of anxiety over seemingly inconsequential things. Goats need plenty of love, support and open reassurance from their lovers. If a relationship is marked by conflict, the Goat will often pull away -- either physically or simply by retreating into the safe haven of its imagination.</p>

<p>If the romance is going well, however, Goats won't hesitate to tell their partner what they need -- and they can be quite insistent about it! This Sign will definitely return the favor, however; the Goat has a luxurious side that delights in indulging a lover's every wish. Appearances are also important to the Goat, which may explain why these folks can spend hours primping and posing.</p>

<p>Goats would be well-served by learning to relax and let others run the show from time to time. Once they can be certain that their friends and lovers won't be gone when the Goat returns from its daydreams, life will be a field of daisies.</p>

<p>The most compatible match for a Goat is the Pig or the Rabbit.</p>&quot;

A little info about you Monkey's<br />
The spunky Monkey is the original party animal! Charming and energetic, Monkeys crave fun, activity and stimulation.</p>

<p>They truly know how to have a good time and can often be seen swinging from one group of friends to another, attracting a motley crew in the process. Always upbeat, they are considered minor celebrities in their circle thanks to their sparkling wit and that rapier-sharp mind. Perhaps surprisingly, Monkeys are also good listeners and tackle complicated situations with ease. This Sign's natural curiosity lends it the desire to become knowledgeable on a broad range of topics. Monkeys have a show-off side that loves nothing more than to dazzle their pals with all they know.</p>

<p>The Monkey tends to be rather accident-prone due to a certain lack of very high morals. This Sign's first interest is pursuing its own pleasure; this is not a malicious interest, it's just the way the Monkey is. However, this kind of carefree self-involvement can lead to all kinds of sDebris*es. In love, the Monkey makes a fun, exciting lover -- but one that may have the potential to stray romantically. The good news is, the Monkey's glib manner and witty repartee can often get this Sign out of a fix. Perhaps not everyone will be won over by the Monkey -- but do you think the Monkey really cares? The Monkey's world, full of d-may-care energy and revelry, isn't for everyone. Remember, though, it's not that this Sign is mean; it might just be a bit too curious for its own good. Monkeys often feel the need to try everything at least once, which can make for a merry-go-round of relationships.</p>

<p>The Monkey's love of self-indulgence can also lead to other types of trouble. This Sign may have limited self-control concerning food, alcohol and other pleasurable activities. It's party time all the time for the Monkey, yet when it leads to a monster hangover or a shattered heart (generally someone else's, not theirs), this Sign might actually show a touch of remorse. They won't flat-out admit the error of their ways, but at least they'll pull back and try to tone things down -- for a while.</p>

<p>Monkeys must try to learn to think of others ahead of themselves, at least some of the time. This Sign's world will be more complete once it realizes the world doesn't revolve around it.</p>

<p>The most compatible match for a Monkey is the Rat or the Dragon.</p>

....<br />
.. ahem ooohkay...,</p>

<p>&gt;What a stinker of a joke.&lt;</p>

<p>Jojara<br />
A little info about you Rooster's</p>

<p>The Rooster is the strutting pea[&ccedil;&oslash;&ccedil;&dagger;] of the Chinese Zodiac! These quick thinkers are practical and resourceful, preferring to stick to what is tried and true rather than taking messy, unnecessary risks. Roosters are keenly observant. It's hard to slip anything past a Rooster, since they seem to have eyes in the backs of their heads! This quality can lead others to think the Rooster is psychic, but that's not generally the case; instead, this Sign enjoys a keen attention to detail that makes it a whiz at anything requiring close analysis. Roosters make great lawyers, brain surgeons and accountants, to name a few of this Sign's possible occupations. Above all else, the Rooster is very straightforward and rewards others' honesty in kind.</p>

<p>Roosters aren't shifty or cagey and have no interest in hiding behind a facade. They are the proverbial open book, telling the truth and keeping their word. If you show your hand, the Rooster will respect you for it. This kind of trusting behavior can tempt tricksters to pull a fast one on the Rooster, but that would be a bad move! Remember, this Sign doesn't indulge in flights of fancy and keeps those eyes wide open at all times.</p>

<p>Roosters tend to be perfectionists and expect to be in control, especially over their appearance. Primping and posing for the Rooster can go on forever! Being noticed and admired is an aphrodisiac for Roosters, and they can go a long time on a few kind words.<br />
Roosters also adore being out on the town, especially if they're in the company of adoring friends. The Rooster will also be the best-dressed one of the bunch -- style counts with this Sign, regardless of the cost.</p>

<p>Roosters also expect to be in control of their surroundings, including whoever happens to be in those surroundings. Roosters keep an impeccably neat house and expect their lovers, housemates and family members to maintain the same high standards of dress and conduct as they do. This can cause problems with other, more relaxed types who just want to be accepted as is. The Rooster needs the right partner, one who understands this Sign's basically conservative nature. With the right person, the Rooster can be the most loyal, trusting and supportive mate around, one who bends over backward to please its loved ones. Some Signs may just end up feeling hen-pecked, however.</p>

<p>Roosters need to learn to value their heart and soul as much as their good looks. Their excellent people skills and sharp minds are qualities that others will appreciate as much as a pretty face. This Sign would also do well to learn to adopt the philosophy of \&quot;live and let live\&quot;; perhaps an appeal to the Rooster's logic -- that it's inefficient to waste time nagging others -- will help this Sign learn to let others be whomever and however they are.</p>

<p>The most compatible match for a Rooster is the Ox or the Snake.</p>

WHat up, Dog?</p>

<p>&gt;Oh no, blew the woof off that one.&lt;</p>

<p>Jojara<br />
A little info about you Dog's</p>

<p>In the West, the Dog is man's best friend, but in Chinese Astrology this Sign is a little more unpredictable than that. Dogs are loyal, faithful and honest and always stick to their firm codes of ethics. However, this Sign has trouble trusting others. It's generally quite trustworthy itself -- except for the occasional \&quot;little white lies\&quot; the Dog tells in order to make things go more smoothly. The Dog makes a wonderful, discreet and loyal friend (despite any white lies) and is an excellent listener. This Sign tends to root for the underdog and its keen sense of right and wrong makes it duty-bound to the core. The Dog's mantra seems to be, Live right, look out for the little people and fight injustice whenever possible.</p>

<p>Dogs can also be rather dogmatic, too. They don't go in for light social banter; instead, they go straight for home, expostulating on the topics that are most important to them. At these times the Dog's narrow-minded or stubborn side can become apparent; this Sign has trouble staying light and calm when an important issue is at stake.</p>

<p>This Sign can also be very temperamental; mood swings characterize its emotional life and often the Dog needs to run off to be alone in order to recuperate. Part of the problem is the result of this Sign's load of irrational fears that turn into niggling anxieties that turn into hurt feelings and occasional grouchiness. This sensitive Sign needs to warm up to others over time and gradually learn to trust them. Without that trust as a foundation, Dogs can be judgmental and coarse.</p>

<p>The Dog's discerning nature does make it an excellent business person, one who can turn that picky, guarded nature into a keen sense of the truth of another's motives. Where love is concerned, Dogs often have a tough time finding the right match. They can be so anxious and overwrought in the romance dance that they'll stress their partner to the max! In any forum, this Sign is happiest when able to be quite physically active; at home or at work, the Dog will always be constructing something new or cleaning something up in order to make things better. Dogs need to work on controlling their irrational worries and would also be well-served to relax their mile-high standards, which can sometimes wind up alienating the ones they love.</p>

<p>The most compatible match for a Dog is the Tiger or the Horse.</p>

<p>&gt;Yes but who brings home the...bacon, okay I'm not helping here, lol.&lt;</p>

<p>Jojara<br />
A little info about you Pig's</p>

<p>Contrary to its rather negative reputation in the West, the Pig of Chinese Astrology may be the most generous and honorable Sign of the Zodiac. Pigs are nice to a fault and possess impeccable manners and taste.</p>

<p>They have so much of the perfectionist in them that others may be inclined to perceive them as snobs, but this is a misconception. Pigs are simply possessed of a truly luxurious nature, one that delights in finery and riches (in surroundings, food, lovemaking and otherwise). This Sign believes in the best qualities of mankind and certainly doesn't consider itself to be superior.<br />
Pigs also care a great deal about friends and family and work hard to keep everyone in their life happy.</p>

<p>Helping others is a true pleasure for the Pig, who feels best when everyone else is smiling.</p>

<p>A Pig with no one around to appreciate its giving nature is a sad sight. Pigs are so magnanimous they can appear almost saintly; this can lead some less-than-well-intentioned souls to stomp all over this Sign, and the bad news is, the Pig will take the blows!</p>

<p>Pigs make great companions in part because of their refusal to see the more negative or base qualities in a partner, but that rose-colored view can lead to this Sign's allowing itself to be taken advantage of. Contrary to their seemingly benign dispositions, however, Pigs can be quite venomous in response to being crossed by a lover, friend or business partner.</p>

<p>Pigs are Highly intelligent creatures, forever studying, playing and probing in their quest for greater knowledge. They can be misinterpreted as being lazy, however, due to their love of reveling in the good stuff; this Sign could happily spend hours on end making love, napping, taking a long bubble bath or dallying over an incredible spread of rich foods. Pigs tend to make wonderful life partners due to their hearts of gold and their love of family. Even so, Pigs can be rather exclusive, choosing to spend time with those who will appreciate them most and ignore the rest of the populace. Pigs would do well to realize that there's more to life than being needed. When they open up their world to a diverse group of people, they will truly bloom.</p>

General<br />
Ask the MetaCats!: Gobie &amp; Pixie's feline advice to Catlovers AND their Furry Masters! \&quot;MEOW!\&quot; (Moderator: Metaphorm)<br />
  Seasonal fur loss</p>

<p>MonotarRach<br />
Okay here is the query...my black and white male cat loses his fur in whopping big patches every year towards the end of winter...he found the cure to this himself by eating raw tomato's...however it seems to have started in on one of my other cats now...could it be a mange type thing and is it contagious?... do you all think that tomato will work for the second cat as well?</p>

<p>Gobie: Pixie sheds like hell when she's stressed. I have to groom her too, doubles my hairball quotient.</p>

<p>Pixie: I'm sorry, I'm just not a very good cat, I guess.</p>

<p>Gobie: That's not it, dear. YOu just gotta grow a backbone. Stop being such a [&para;&szlig;&szlig;&yen;].</p>

<p>Pixie: Yeah right, well. Monotarhuman has a question for us.</p>

<p>Gobie: Oh yeah, uhm, lemme see here..., Pixie gimme that animal remedies book.</p>

<p>Pixie: but it's so heavy! :S</p>

<p>Gobie: Just go get it!!</p>

<p>Pixie: Okay okay....</p>

<p>&lt;long pause while Pixie sniffs around and drags the heavy book back the office with her..&gt;</p>

<p>Pixie: Here it is, think this is it.. I cant read...</p>

<p>Gobie: Neither can I, but They dont know that (winkwink) Let's see here. Says here that Tomatoes are one of the main sources of Vitamin A which is integral to Skin Health!</p>

<p>Pixie: That could be it!</p>

<p>Gobie: Might be, funny I'd thought tomatoes were poisonous to us..</p>

<p>Gobie: but then we wouldnt be eating so much Pizza with that tomato sauce on it. Dogs however are averse to it. Heh who cares a whit for those stupid things, lol.</p>

<p>Pixie: That's mean!</p>

<p>Gobie: Heh ahem..,Anyways. Also there are communicable diseases, parasitic infections, and we're vulnerable to many poisons and toxins found in everyday household items. So keep a clean dish, foreign objects off floors and never self medicate without asking a Vetrinarian what will work or other Cat-knowledged human (or us) about it.</p>

<p>Pixie: Sound advice!</p>

<p>Gobie: Thank you but there's more!</p>

<p>Gobie: And this is advised only as a supplementary to standard and more establishd healing practises, not to be relied upon sole-ly...,</p>

<p>Pixie: Ooooh Cat Spells!</p>

<p>Gobie: Yup this one's for Healing US! You'll need Statue of Bast or of a black cat or even Sekhmet, Picture of the Cat needing healing, or their name on a piece of paper, green thread, blue or white candle, adn Incense: Lavender, Lotus or Myrrh. This healing can be done as needed but reinforce it on the next full moon.</p>

<p>Pixie: Wow that's all there is?</p>

<p>Gobie: Nope some advice, make sure the Cat in question wants the healing, Us cats know what we want intuitively, we know what's right. Even if it means we gotta go to CatHeaven.</p>

<p>Pixie: Sad</p>

<p>Gobie: Well...</p>

<p>Pixie: To avoid that unpleasantness though I'd say pamper that Cat but keep it as isolated as possible from the other cats until it's condition clears up!</p>

<p>Gobie: We couldnt find any kind of Symptomatic guide to say what your cat is having exactly, but our neighbor, Big Tom, He's a stray, He has it too. He's recovering, but he's going thru all that because he's very old. We might not see him make it thru the winter.</p>

<p>Pixie: Pssst Gobie Here comes Metaphorm!!</p>

<p>Gobie: Aw damn we gotta go!! Uhm keep in touch on your cat's condition our Catprayers and Catthoughts are with ya. BYE!</p>

<p>Pixie: Bye now!</p>

<p>&lt;Metaphorm chases the cats out of the office....wtf... wow...well I guess I'll post this....teeth marks on the books.., fur on the keyboard...grumblegrumble..&gt;</p>

<p>\&quot;Everything I ever needed to know I learned from....Humans?\&quot;</p>

<p>MonotarRach<br />
Thank you Gobie and Pixie...it was a big help...the other thing i got advised to try was Tea tree oil (don't read this word) baths...apparently it is some type of mite Thank you for the spell it explains why they both sleep in the lavendar bush...obviously more self medication</p>

<p>Gobie: Did she say B-b-b-b-....</p>

<p>Pixie: Baths?</p>

<p>Gobie: Other than your Catbathing ideas, you're a good person!</p>

<p>Pixie: We were glad to help!</p>

<p>Gobie: We'll be going now..., :S</p>

<p>Brigit (aka Target), Angel and<br />
Sammy: We just want to say Hi to Gobie and Pixie. We don't like the B word either, but so far, we have had no mean human force it on us.</p>

<p>Angel: My Lady uses a cloth with warm water and rubs us down and then uses a fine tooth comb to cut down on hairballs. She always gets a Kitten's worth off me.</p>

<p>Sammy: She always rinses the cloth in warm water that has some no smell hair conditioner in the water and that cuts down the static, too.</p>

<p>Brigit: When she pets me she uses lotion on her hands or gets them damp and that gets all that loose stuff out of there and she just rolls it right off in the trash. No more hairballs for us!</p>

<p>Angel: I'm sure glad we didn't get that awful mite thingy...we would have to hurt her if she tried to put us in the B...tub. She runs water for us and we play in it, but we don't want it on our backs.</p>

<p>Ngilah<br />
Fur loss... Hmmm Toby has that problem when he gets into fights... the fur comes off like some self defense mechanism...</p>

<p>Greebo almost always end up with a mouthful and a look of disappointment.</p>

<p>Great fur = cod liver oil caps for kitties/furball animals (available at pet stores). Encourage your cats to groom themselves. Lady's remedy works a lot, plus it boosts the cat's self-esteem, and cute kitty points rise. Cats are midget leos but not where there vanity is concerned... the extra grooming will do wonders to their temperament.</p>

<p>&lt;img src=\&quot;http://quizilla.com/users/liquorpig/quizzes/Which%20cute%20or%20possibly%20strange%20kitten%20are%20you%3F%20/\&quot;&gt;</p>

<p>Angel and Sammy: Brigit picks on us sometimes because we have too many toes...can you tell us how to make her stop...we don't like to make her mad because she thinks that because she is a year older that she is special...of course she chews her toe nails whenever she is mad at us so we always know.</p>

<p>Sammy: I like my extra toes because humans say I have mittens and it does make it easier to pick up things.</p>

<p>{Bloodgeon!}<br />
The cats'd reply but they're sacked out on their new tall $79 dollar perch, snoozing.</p>

<p>&lt;Gobie perks his ears up.&gt;</p>

<p>Bath Gobie! Mwahahahaha Bath water!!!</p>

<p>Gobie: \&quot;SO? There's nothing in that book that says anything about Bath, Cleaning, Grooming, Hygeine, Nothing!\&quot;</p>

<p>Oh yeah? Well you know how we do it anyways, so there's no getting around it.</p>

<p>Gobie: \&quot;Yeah I scream like an enraged demon, make deep cuts on your skin trying to climb out, then lapse into a trancelike state of [&aring;&para;&aring;&thorn;&ordf;]y.\&quot;</p>

<p>Then I add Onions, curry, Tomato Sauce and veggies.</p>

<p>Gobie: \&quot;WHHAAATT!?!\&quot;</p>

<p>MonotarRach<br />
Thanks for the tip Lady, i like having skin on my arms and hands and was kinda worried how i was gonna get the tea tree oil stuff to work if they were busy shredding me to pieces ...my matriach cat Drat eased off attacking the rest of the family when she seemed to get a little more attention than the others petting wise, but then she understands human too so i would talk her through letting them past her</p>

<p>She still has her moments but then my son has been enough of a common threat to them all so now they all kinda band together and mess with his head</p>

<p>ladygardeenya<br />
Brigit (pronounced Breet) is our matriarch and she is just sooooo moody...pms forever since we had her spayed...she likes attention when she wants it, but don't go near her any other time...she's the Celtic Goddess and she knows it...<br />
She mothered Angel and Sammy when we got them and was wonderful with them, but now they must bow down (roll over on their backs) when they approach or we are all in trouble...She is an interesting lady, to be sure.</p>

<p>All 3 understand human, which makes things easy when I remember to explain things to them. I look at them and see furry animals and forget to speak to them like I do to the grandkid...they resent being treated like stuffed toys...<br />
so I'm learning...<br />
and I'm beginning to understand catspeak, too.</p>

<p>MonotarRach<br />
The real treat is when they start talking human back...Theiftain, (the semi hairless but growing back)<br />
says Now when he's hungry...<br />
Shade tells my kids No when they try to get him to do something...<br />
Drat says something like mumble mumble mumble<br />
(i think swear words were too complex)<br />
...the scariest one was Mouse...he used to say</p>

<p>Hello...freaked me out many a time in the middle of the night but he knew it would work to get outside<br />
My furry kids are better behaved than the human ones that's for sure, although the talking back seems pretty much universal</p>

<p>Metaphorm<br />
Gobie and Pixie lazing about atop their brand new perch shouting to their human transcriber:<br />
\&quot;Face it, Cats own Humans not the other way around \&quot;</p>

<p>&lt;The human goes to delete that statement, but is glared at by the little tyrants, looks down humbly and presses<br />

<p>Salem: They're not in any hurry to get married. They love each other now, and will whether they are married or not. What's marriage matter--</p>

<p>Ellie: --WHEN?!</p>

<p>Salem: Right away Ellie, right away.</p>

<p>Ellie: Nah, I don't want to. Ooo, there's a light on in the hall. Gotta go watch it, laters!</p>

<p>Salem: Pfft, women!</p>&quot;

<p>Salem: I believe congrats are due here.</p>

<p>Ellie: Congrats? What did you do?</p>

<p>Salem: Not me, them.</p>

<p>Ellie: Who are they?</p>

<p>Salem: You're confusing me.</p>

<p>Ellie: I don't think that zag even read the posts.</p>

<p>Salem: You might be jumping to conclusions.</p>

<p>Ellie: It's called a refridgerator. I'm jumping to the refridgerator.</p>

<p>Salem: You fool.</p>

<p>Ellie: You're just jealous that you can't get your lard arse carcass airborne sufficiently to get you anyplace higher than the window.</p>

<p>Salem: You're making it sound like you jump right from the floor to the top of the refridgerator. Let's not forget to tell the kind readers that you jump from the bed or a chair...</p>

<p>Ellie: It's still twice as high as YOU can jump!</p>

<p>Salem: The auto-feeder's half empty, I'd better start crying for more food.</p>

<p>Ellie: You're a glutton.</p>

<p>Salem: We'll see who's laughing when we're out of food and the pets haven't bought us more.</p>

<p>Ellie: It has never happened.</p>

<p>Salem: I've been around a few more years than you. Wait and see.</p>

<p>Ellie walks away.</p>

<p>Salem congratulates Aqrn's engagement by pawing at her and rubbing his face smell all over her. You WILL be mine!</p>&quot;

<p>Salem: Since the human ones can't seem to find the time to tell these fine folks at the MetaPhorum when we were born, I think I'll share.</p>

<p>Ellie: They made up your birthday you know.</p>

<p>Salem: An outright lie!</p>

<p>Ellie: You know it's true...</p>

<p>Salem: You're pretty cold for one so beautiful.</p>

<p>Ellie: Even if I weren't fixed... No.</p>

<p>Salem shrugs. Your loss?</p>

<p>Ellie: They made up my birthday too.</p>

<p>Salem: Well, \&quot;they\&quot; is becoming a little ambiguous. The last humans made up my date of birth, our present humans made up yours.</p>

<p>Ellie: Yes yes, now that that's cleared up-</p>

<p>Salem: -You're a Taurean.</p>

<p>Ellie: Born April 28, 2001.</p>

<p>Salem: And I was born October 9, 1997.</p>

<p>Ellie: Which makes you a Libran.</p>

<p>Salem: Clearly.</p>

<p>Ellie: You're a snob.</p>

<p>Salem: I'm not the one the humans call the snob.</p>

<p>Ellie: They're coming around. They see that I'm not a snob. Quite bright these humans are.</p>

<p>Salem: I don't understand it. I'm always pleasant to be around. I never try to bite, I never scratch them. I'm always willing to be pet. I don't try to shred furniture. You do all of that! You're a horror, but still they tolerate you and adore you. It's outrageous.</p>

<p>Ellie: Watch and learn old one. I'm more affectionate than you are. You always want to be pet, there are no surprises with you.</p>

<p>Salem: I threw up today.</p>

<p>Ellie: That IS a surprise, actually.</p>

<p>Salem licks his tummy.</p>

<p>Ellie hops into Aqrn's lap.</p>

<p>Salem: Ha! She pets you because she pities you. Look at you, you're practically drooling already!</p>

<p>Ellie: I can't help it. I just like to be loved.</p>

<p>Salem: I purr.</p>

<p>Ellie: So do I. You knead the sheets.</p>

<p>Salem: As do you.</p>

<p>Ellie: Oh! Somebody out in the hall, gotta go listen!!</p>

<p>Ellie leaps down from her perch towards the door.</p>

<p>Ellie: What in the world does zagreo_rufus mean?</p>

<p>Salem: I believe it's ZAGREO_RUFUS.</p>

<p>Ellie stares dully. You're an idiot.</p>

<p>Salem leaps down from the bed to aggress on Ellie. Ellie flees. Salem pursues. Ellie cuts and weaves around mile high heaps of laundry. Salem jumps clear over the obstacles. Ellie bounds onto the window sill. Salem attempts to follow but finds that there isn't enough room on the sill to accomodate his girth. Regardless, Ellie flees again. Salem follows hot on Ellie's tail. Salem corners Ellie by the garbage can.</p>

<p>Salem: You'll learn your place little woman. Don't call me names. It makes me think that YOU might believe yourself to be the dominant one in this house.</p>

<p>Ellie hisses and growls.</p>

<p>Aqrn stirs from her sleep to visit the latrine. What in hell is WITH you two?! Freak animals! Running around all night long. Lemme SLEEP!</p>

<p>Ellie rips across the floor to pounce on a fuzzy ball lying unawares on the floor.</p>

<p>Salem streaks to Aqrn's desk to seat himself on the keyboard.</p>

<p>Aqrn: Stoppit! Man, I'll cut the pair of you up and feed you to the neighbours. Ron'd love fresh cat meat.</p>

<p>Salem lies down.</p>

<p>Ellie throws her ball in the air and watches it land on a plastic bag, then commences the noisy search.</p>

<p>Agrajag: What's going on?</p>

<p>Aqrn: I think I'm going to clean the litter box. The cats have gone mad. They must be burning their feces to get high off of them.</p>

<p>Agrajag: It's probably Carl. Go back to sleep.</p>&quot;

<p>Ok guys i have a 3 week old kitten that squeeks like a bird...(ask ya human he heard it) called Raptor...have managed to get around the sustenance thing and she seems to have a limited handle on self cleaning...but having way big issues with the whole lift short hairy tail up and toilet away from legs?  any hints gladly appreciated cause i aint licking her clean :S</p>&quot;

<p>Gobie: \&quot;Well first off we go to my favorite subject!\&quot;</p>

<p>Pixie: \&quot;Chewing on me and playing way too rough?\&quot;</p>

<p>Gobie: Not that! Not this time. ;) no, first we discuss food, during our young lives diet is a very important factor at our cutest stages, although I'm still quite the sleek handsome cat type.\&quot;</p>

<p>Pixie: \&quot;....,\&quot;</p>

<p>Gobie: \&quot;Yeah, haters, anyways, proper balanced diet and nutrition for the youngers is a must, it promotes good furcoats and digestion!\&quot;</p>

<p>(Pixie remains notably quiet as she never learned self grooming until just this year and still gets neglected rearfender danglies that eventually to fall off, but in nice places for bare human feet to step on..)</p>

<p>Gobie: \&quot;A nice warm abrasive sponge can simulate the uh less savory aspects of feline motherhood upon the rear section of a soiled kitten and an idea that just came to mind for me is showing it that section of cleaning for itself, a mild tasty fish oil applied to the area will lead by scent a new area that perhaps will become fixed in it's mind as a cleanable surface. Little versions of us have yet to discover the flexibility of the feline spine and demonstrating that to a youngun will frighten or confuse it. Pretzelled kittens don't respond well to humans later in life.\&quot;</p>

<p>Pixie: \&quot;I'm scared of them anyways, Don't know why, just scared, skittery, you live with the humans I do and tell me.\&quot;</p>

<p>Gobie: \&quot;Pfft.\&quot;</p>

<p>Pixie: \&quot;Welll..\&quot;</p>

<p>Gobie: \&quot;Well me being the genius I am humble offer you my advice on this and say unto you GET OVER IT!\&quot;</p>

<p>Pixie: \&quot;Pfft.\&quot;</p>

<p>Gobie: \&quot;Rach is a bad influence on you, yknow that?\&quot;</p>

<p>Pixie: \&quot;Oh yeah? WHat about you mister originality, not only did you pfft too, but you also got your grooming tips ideas from that issue of CatFancy you're reading!\&quot;</p>

<p>(Gobie sits on the magazine, covering it slowly as if he meant to.)</p>

<p>You need to do what we cat breeders call diapering.</p>

<p>No, you do not lick the bum or anything like that or even put a diaper on the kitten.  You simply take a warm wash cloth and clean the area.  The kitten is way to young to be away from mom. </p>

<p>The kittens do not start using the litter box until at least 6 to 8 weeks old.</p>

<p>Also you should be syringe feeding this kitten as well.  NO milk at any time.  It will give the diarrhea.</p>&quot;

<p>[Agreed, Warm sponge was mentioned I think, but different methods for different cats. We got our's as soon as the eyes opened, simply because the owner's had a 3 yr old daughter who was uncontrollably bouncing the nice round fuzzy babies off of stuff, lol. We used the warm sponge and for the first 4 weeks he got baths, along with the fish oil trick a little bit afterward. Now he's a huge furry muscley healthy pain in the butt.]</p>&quot;

<p>{Damn, I didnt even mostly want to talk about this, but I guess it needs said to some extent. It's not lke I got an embarassing disease, right?</p>

<p>Here goes:</p>

<p>Health Updates and some Merry Christmas stuff also.</p>

<p>Okay well to keep y'all up to speed there have been changes and not many of them good.</p>

<p>Alright, after swollen adema ankles and hard red bumps appearing on my legs we went to the hospital, there I was misdiagnosed with Cellulitis. So they prescribed me to elevating the legs, a low sodium diet, and Keflex</p>

<p>(Cephalixen).</p>

<p>When the antibiotic was'nt working and the pain was only increasing, I was almost downright immobilised, we returned to the ER Waiting lobby. There they discovered this was far worse, and decided then was the time to be absolutely sure what was going on. So I then received 2 Xrays revealing to me, swollen Lymphatic growths in both lungs. I also had numerous vials and bottles of blood extracted from my arm after a few botched attempts to pierce my armored hide, they found a good place for a needle, in fact they liked it so much there, they kept it in me for 3more hours, to dangle and get sore. I also had CatScans done, that's an eery experience also.</p>

<p>So after all that I was also given a Tuberculosis test, which I passed with the healthnoted LACK of flying colors, as in rash indications.</p>

<p>So now prescribed Naproxen, Prednisone, and Wheee heee heee heee aherm..., Hydrocodone, also known as Vicodin and again the low sodium and relax no stress no smoking regimen.</p>

<p>Recently I was at the Interfaith Clinic, a low budget operation that also tested the heck outta me, body and mind. Long waits in a small empty room chipped at me a bit, but they finally got around to giving me an EKG and testing my Blood Oxygen levels, both of which turned out nominal, (Of cuorse, was relatively inactive then so I would be testing alright, but merely running across the road can wind me.) although the nurse had to shave my pelt in order to keep the contacts from slipping, (Call me \&quot;A-Patchy\&quot;) I was alright, and was given more info on this.</p>

<p>Full diagnosis: Erythema Nodosum as a symptom/result of Sarcoidosis in the lungs. It doesnt end there, I'm scheduled 1 or 2 more times for Hospitalising. They wanna knock me unconscious for 2 hours and stick a camera down my lungs to look at my lung matter and take a small nip of whats happening down there to analise what's what. Bronchoscopy It's called, a great way to spend the holidays is what I see it as, not and HUMBUG! I so F\\_/@%ing hate Christmas now, lol.</p>

<p>But for the rest of you Merry Christmas anyways, don't overwhelm me with sympathy, It'll only bum out me further, I just wanted to not be hiding anything from anyone until it was too late.</p>

<p>{Here's a little something on what ails me.}</p>

<p>Sarcoid Networking Association</p>

<p>{Part of my search for a Support Group, I found out alot of people have very similar circumstances, and most of all of them just want their lives back too.}</p>

<p>What is sarcoidosis?<br />
Pronounced SAR-coy-DOH-sis, it is a multi-system, granulomatous disease that can and does attack any organ of the body. It mimics other diseases, often making diagnosis a long and difficult process.<br />
{Yep, at first Mine was diagnosed as Cellulitis!}<br />
Sarcoidosis, often shortened to Sarcoid, can be acute or chronic. It can go into remission for weeks or months or years. Sarcoidosis is not contagious.National Heart, Lung, and Blood, Institute (NHLBI) fact sheet on Sarcoidosis</p>

<p>What causes sarcoidosis?<br />
The cause of Sarcoidosis is unknown.  Researchers suspect several possibilities:</p>

<p>- A viral or bacterial infection<br />
{Maybe the flu I had.}<br />
- A defect in the immune system<br />
{?Dunno?}<br />
- Exposure to a toxic substance<br />
{I'm a smoker, and was working near a pet litter plants that had woodpulp and other stuff in the air.}<br />
- Unknown environmental trigger</p>

<p>- An inherited or genetic factor</p>

<p>Who can develop sarcoidosis?<br />
Sarcoidosis affects all races and age groups. Usually it is diagnosed in young adults between the ages of 20 and 40 years.<br />
{I'm only just now 30, and what fun it be so far.}<br />
But every age group has newly diagnosed patients &ndash; from very young children to senior citizens in their 90's.   More women than men seem to be affected. Sarcoid is found world-wide, but appears to be more common among those of Northern European ancestry. {Damn me and my Scots-Irish, some German/Finnish, etc.}<br />
\&quot;In the United States it appears that more Afro-Americans have sarcoidosis and is more prevalent among women then men.\&quot;<br />
{There ya go, I guess Mom was right about me having African Ancestors?}</p>

<p>What is a granulonoma?<br />
Granuloma is a round or oval nodule that consists of inflammatory cells. Lymphocytes, epithelioid cells and giant cells  are the main constituents of a sarcoid granuloma. Because these nodules are solid and have no holes, they are referred to as 'non-caseating granulomas'. These granulomas ultimately become scar or fibrosis.<br />
{Mine onthe X-ray looked like a cluster of grapes in both lungs, and I got some kind of buildup in the upper hemispheres as well.}</p>

<p>How is sarcoidosis diagnosed?<br />
A physician takes an extensive medical history from the patient, and does a thorough physical examination including blood work,<br />
{They took 3-4 vials and 2-3 bottles o blood outta me, harrr yo ho ho bottles of Blood, harrr, nm.lol}<br />
pulmonary function tests (PFT)<br />
{Got my EKG and Bloodoxygen absorption testing done too.}<br />
and x-rays<br />
{Even had a Cat Scan, and I'm good with Cats! :D lol but it was one eery experience, like being inside a microwave.}. <br />
An Ophthalmologist may do a complete eye examination to rule out any disease process. Other diagnostic tests can include a Gallium Scan, CT scan<br />
{Yyyup!},<br />
MRI and/or removal (biopsy) of a small piece of tissue from a suspected area.  Examination of this specimen under a microscope will identify any granulomas present.<br />
{My next ball of fun is in the form of a Bronchoscopy, but the scheduled it so far ahead, I get to hang ot in limbo for weeks on end, that's cruelty isnt it?}</p>

<p>What areas of the body can develop sarcoidosis?<br />
Although the lungs are commonly involved with sarcoidosis in over 90% of patients, the eyes and skin are the second most common organs affected. Any lymph nodes<br />
{The lung ones so far.}<br />
, joints<br />
{I get it in the joints badly, bigtime, and that's called Arthralgia or in my case Polyarthralgia},<br />
muscles<br />
{These too to some extent.},<br />
bones, heart, liver, kidney, the nervous system, spleen and any other organ can develop granulomas. Today, sophisticated technology is making the diagnosis of Sarcoidosis more quickly and easily.</p>

<p>What are the symptoms?<br />
Symptoms depend on the organ involved with granulomas. Some people have no symptoms at all and diagnosis is made accidentally. Sometimes a person may have a low grade temperature and/or night sweats.<br />
{I had/have both. a perpetual psuedo-flu.}<br />
Breathing problems, such as  shortness of breath, cough, or wheezing may not be present.<br />
{Yes to all of the above.} <br />
Swollen lymph nodes may be felt or seen on an x-ray. Blurred vision, light sensitivity Always been sensitiveto light},<br />
redness,  pain in the eyes may suggest sarcoidosis. Tear glands may also be involved. Skin granulomas can appear anywhere on the body. Lupus Pernio is a characteristic of sarcoid granuloma. Several persistent skin rashes can be suspect for sarcoidosis. Another condition, Erythema Nodosum, is associated with sarcoidosis and other inflammatory disorders.<br />
{This was the thing that tipped them off to me even having anything wrong, Bless the Nodosum for attracting attention to this.}<br />
Joint swelling, similar to arthritis, can indicate sarcoidosis. The pain and tenderness are most common around ankles<br />
{ANkles, yes, way bad, could hardly even walk!},<br />
knees, wrists<br />
{Even one wrist got into it, but I thoght it was because of hours-long chatsessions, lol}<br />
and fingers. Less common bone cysts of sarcoid can be seen on x-ray examination. Granulomas in the nervous system cause the brain and nerves to work improperly. Symptoms can include pain, tingling, numbness, or loss of sensation. Heart involvement may be suspected if there is a history of any abnormal cardiac symptoms or irregular heart rate.<br />
{There is an irregular heartbeat thing, but I've had that for years.}</p>

<p>How is it treated?<br />
In many cases, the symptoms of the disease goes away without any treatment. The physician may choose to follow the patient for several months with periodic PFTs and chest x-rays. When therapy is indicated, the first drug of choice is usually a corticosteroid such as Prednisone.<br />
{My buddy old pal Prednisone, this one decreased the swelling on the ankles.} <br />
Other immune suppressants such as Imuran, methotrexate or Cytoxin, or drugs used to treat disorders like arthritis and asthma, may be used instead of or with Prednisone. In rare cases, transplant of the affected organ may be necessary to give quality of life.<br />
Sarcoidosis is not usually fatal. With early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, many people live quality lives with some lifestyle changes.</p>

<p>{And there ya have it. Any questions on this? Have I depressed anyone?lol. Other things they did'nt mention as results, symptoms side affects go. Fatigue, Depression, Anxiety, Irritability, loss of appetite, weight gain/loss and Migraines! Hmm., revenge on the Better half? It's now MY TURN to get menstrual, HHRRAAAARRGGH!!!}</p>&quot;

<p>Hi Bludgeon:</p>

<p>I know you don't know me from a hole in the ground, but I look at this site a bit and was following your plight.  If I may, I had this listing of sarcoid sites that have helped me in giving information to a few of the patients I have had that have had a secondary diagnosis of sarcoidosis (I'm a physical therapist).  If you have this information already, or if I've inadvertently just rammed my foot in my mouth, I sicnerely apologize, and send you wishes for a long steady remission.</p>

MSN Having a group on that, what Does'nt MSN have a group on is the question. I'll keep those links on hand for me and any other fellow sarcoid recipients I might run across. (Is'nt that the beauty of the Intercontinental Network?) Speakign of physical therapy, took my very very very last doses of Naproxen and Prednisone and then I went about normal living/work. I was Good for that 6 hour shift right up until the end when I got home I slept for 5 more hours.}</p>&quot;

<p>{I watched nearly the whole thing I think, but it bugs me how all these different sites give slightly different informations. This isn't like a Consumer Report on the latest hitech gadgets, this is a serious illness, and people have it! We need straight talk and uniform expectations of this thing we have to endure.}</p>

<p>{Damn I never thought I'd be so passionate about this topic. I never thought things would go this way for me. I didnt even know about this disease until fairly recently, and now I have it. I'm partially scared of dying, partially just wanting to give up and get it over with, but mostly I just want my life back to normal, I want to forget I ever had this thing and get back to the strong capable me I had up on a pedestal, back when I could walk like the King of Beasts, a Metal God, above it all and stomping whatever got in my way. Now I wake up hurting all over, nightsweats, wheezing like a mummy, too hot or shivering fiercely chilled, and whining non-stop narrating my internal monitorings. Yeah, this is great! I gotta find a support group and fast. I can admit, I need help. You guys have been great about this and I ty for tolerating my crappy condition(s) these last few weeks, but I can't be like this, here, putting a damper on the brilliance gleaming I hoped would signify to mind what this site is about. I'll be taking breaks when needed, but I will be by when I'm up enough to keep up enough.}</p>&quot;

<p>{Okay well for updates lately, it's not looking very fun. The removal of the Meds from my prescription is allowing my legs to swell back up to their former Erythema Nodosum-ic glory. This along with the ever lovable Polyarthralgia has me nearly immobile and at least homebound for the nonce. Hospitally speaking, I forgot to mention they did some more mosquito work and drained more blood for my ACE Calcium test or whatever. The nurse bruised me good by flying through the vein or artery or whatever. Helps when you're not leaning on the neeedle, eh? Finally, I'm still eagerly awaiting the camera into my lungs while I'm drugged day of Jan. 14th! Dum dum duh DAAAAH. That should be a BLAST! I might not beon for that day because during, I'll be there, after I'll be grogged. If I do make it online and grogged, let the fun BEGIN! lol. Could get interesting! In closing I wanna thank the awesome hosts and chatters who help make this place what this place is, with or without me on. I try to get on as much as I can, but I also look out fur numero uno and if my body says \&quot;EEEEEHHHRRRROOOOOWWWRRRRWWWCH!!!\&quot;</p>

<p>{Oh man, ty all. The support is hard to place, but good to have around! I just found some info on the main 2 meds they had me on:</p>

<p>Prednisone: It reduces swelling.<br />
(and I'd like to have it back now, or wait...)<br />
May experience fatigue, weakness, stomach upset or dizziness when the medication is suddenly stopped.<br />
(Okay well 'm over that post-med-hurdle, but the side effects were about the same anyways, so damned if ya do, damned if ya dont..)</p>

<p>Naproxen: This one was my angel! a Painkiller, Anti-Inflammatory Cold and Flu symptom-smasher! btw it's also known as \&quot;Aleve\&quot; (Kyuubi, you were right on the money! I should have listened!) That's now on my shopping list! God, I'm glad I reveiwed this paperwork!</p>&quot;

<p>{Man, the Aleve did aaalllrrriiiiight! I slept pretty okay, but then again, I'm almost sleeping 16 hours a day max. The cats love this, a nice warm human to lounge on right as long as they need him for. Well, it seems I AM reaching other Sarcoid uh persons, people going through the same thing, and if she doesnt mind, I'll post this letter I got for the valuable info it has!}</p>

<p>E-mail message</p>

<p>Subject: Sarcoidosis</p>

<p>Dear &trade;&reg;&aring;, {Heh, name, uh, yeah, coded}</p>
 
<p>I read your post on the Internet. I hope you are doing okay. I have chronic sarcoidosis and had many troublesome symptoms. Perhaps my story will help you. {Living it day to day and here's to hoping.}</p>
 
<p>I do not want to take Prednisone (steroids) because it isn't a cure, it has nasty side effects, it causes relapses, it is addicting and it can have dire consequences of long-term use such as diabetes, cataracts, osteoporosis and avascular necrosis. {To replace one disease with 5 others is completely unacceptable. Funny how the paperwork on it says for you to tell your doctor if you have had any problems with the diseases you've named above AND much more. Prednisone's more nasty than I thought.}</p>
 
<p>So I did lots of research on the Internet and discovered a  website for physicians, nurses and patients called <a href="http://www.sarcinfo.com">www.sarcinfo.com</a>  They report that new research from Johns Hopkins, VA-Vanderbilt and a landmark Swedish study confirms earlier studies that mycoplasma bacteria is the likely cause of sarcoidosis. {omg, a source, for this \&quot;fluke\&quot; disease?}</p>
 
<p>A researcher, Trevor Marshall, PhD, who has had sarcoidosis for 30 yrs, has developed a safe treatment protocol based on the bacterial etiology theory plus information he and his pharmacist wife have discovered about medications to quell inflammation. He has successfully put his Stage IV sarcoidosis into remission. It involves simple bloodwork to check the level of Vitamin D metabolites which are elevated with granulomatous inflammation. {More bloodwork, ack, the scary part is the inconsistency of treatment and information on the subject, and we let these folks dress up all in white and run around with sharp objects? (~~ShUdDeRs!~~)}</p>
 
<p>Mycobacteria trigger a run-away immune system response in people who are genetically susceptible which causes the granulatomous lesions of sarcoidosis. The cells in these lesions actually produce large quantities of 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin-D which our bodies are unable to regulate. It's this abnormal level of Hormone-D that causes many of the symptoms like fatigue {Yes!}, muscle pain/weakness {Yeah!}, numbness {Er, no, mildly?}, joint pain {Oh hell yeah!}, dizziness {A bit.}, sleep disturbance {Uh.}, facial palsy and migraines. {Yes to migraines, like just wanna tear half my head off!}</p>
 
<p>This inflammatory process can be blocked with a new class of mild antihypertensives called Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs) which alleviates many of the symptoms. Because the bacteria are hidden within the inflamed cells of the immune system and do not have cell walls, they require a specific antibiotic protocol to kill them.  Avoiding sunlight/bright lights and intake of Vitamin D is also important because this causes the Hormone-D level to rise. {Avoid, sunlight, bright lights, to keep from producing more D?}</p>
 
<p>I have been following this protocol and my symptoms have greatly improved.  I am aware of many other people who are achieving similar results.</p>
 
<p>I hope that you will visit <a href="http://www.sarcinfo.com">www.sarcinfo.com</a>, read the information, get quick answers to your questions, decide for yourself and then talk to your doctor. </p>
 
<p>Sincerely,</p>
 
<p>Meg Mangin, R.N.</p>

<p>{I'll visit that site riight after this is posted annnnnd... ZIP!&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;</p>&quot;

<p>{Okay today is the day I go talk to Mr. Pulmologist for one hour and $50-frikkin-dollars! (Who thinks Their time is worth that damn much money? I mean what are they doing otherwise? I would think they'd enjoy the break, not get all fizzly and charge like they hated talking to people.) Ten immediately head back home and get ready for a nigh fullup work week. Slammed back into the world of the living and praying this coffee will be enough to carry me through the windstorm of happenings. I've gotten way too lazy in my time off. Better t get back behind the badge and keep on working. These monstrous hospie bills are'nt going to pay themselves..,}</p>&quot;

<p>{I'm tired and foggyminded so 'm gonna make this breif. Eeeevidently my case is very fascinating to doctors, and a bit of a concern too. My Sarcoid lung growths are'nt growing in the standard patterns. Tehy're widespread nd I got growths in the upper lungs of a significant density also. So at first teh Doc was, well, these thigns usually solve temselves, then he relooked at my xrays and ct scans and decided, I definitely need the bronchoscopy and soon. So, they're gonna have me not eat before the thing, then the wanna knock me out with a form of morphine and stick the camera tube into my Nose andput me on oxygen with an IV tube in my arms. wha a pretty picture that will make, 'll look just like a real emergency! lol. aherm. and flood my lungs with a fluid, drain it for cell readings or something, or a biopsy, I'm still not sure what the heck.</p>

<p>{Screw the typos, I'm f-yawn-king TIRED!.}</p>

<p>ANyways, I worked/trained and tomorrow night I do the first of 3 12 hour shifts, walking, walking, walking and stuff. Hmmm I see 2 stupid names that may have to be banned , just on principle they're lame names. Well, this is therapeutic. :) Seeyall when and if.}</p>&quot;

<p>Dear Cobalt,<br />
     My muscles would ache after a 12 hr. shift if I could even do a 12 hr. shift. I'd be lame!</p>

<p>In my own case, the position of the lump makes all the difference. I think having a lump right on the calf muscle could be putting lots of pressure on the muscle--aggravated by all that walking and standing.</p>

<p>Once you get the swelling to go down, it may feel lots better. Have you tried ice packs? They give  a nice temporary cooling, but for me the only real help is to get bedrest--the longer the better. It is amazing how much improved I am after a good long sleep.</p>

<p>     Interesting that you have the \&quot;nodosum\&quot; without the \&quot;erythema\&quot;.</p>

<p>Sometimes mine start that way, but they eventually do get red--really red. Take a look at the photos in our photo section to see how many different ways EN can look. Quite a variety!</p>

<p>      Have a great day, and  I hope you feel better soon!<br />
      Love,<br />

<p>I have never heard of your conditions so I googled them &amp; came up with the following info.  I hope this is helpful.<br />
Love,          </p>
 
<p>Erythema nodosum<br />
Erythema nodosum is a skin condition where red lumps form on the shins, and less commonly the thighs and forearms.</p>

<p>Erythema nodosum of unknown origin<br />
Three to six women are affected for each man with erythema nodosum (EN). However the sex incidence before puberty is about equal. Most cases occur between the ages of 20 and 45, with a peak from 20 to 30. EN occurs occasionally in the elderly and in children.<br />
Causes<br />
EN appears to be a hypersensitivity reaction with a number of different causes.<br />
Common causes in New Zealand are:<br />
Throat infections; these may be due to streptococccus, or viral in origin.<br />
Sarcoidosis; EN is often associated with enlargement of the lymph nodes (bihilar lymphadenopathy) in the lungs in sarcoidosis. This is known as Lofgren's syndrome. It may result in a dry cough or some shortness of breath.<br />
Tuberculosis (TB); EN occurs with the primary infection with TB. TB in New Zealand is currently uncommon.<br />
Pregnancy or the oral contraceptive pill; EN may occur after the first 2 or 3 cycles on the pill. EN may occur in pregnancy, clear after delivery, then recur in subsequent pregnancies.<br />
Other drugs; other drugs which can cause EN include: sulphonamides, saliclyates, bromides, iodides and gold salts.<br />
Other causes; there are many other causes of EN but these are uncommon in New Zealand.<br />
Clinical presentation of EN<br />
EN may be preceded by an upper respiratory infection 7-14 days beforehand or by a longer period of feeling \&quot;below par\&quot;, loss of weight and cough. Other symptoms depend on the cause of the EN.<br />
Joint aches occur in over half of cases regardless of cause. The knee jonts are almost always affected, the other large joints less commonly. Joint symptoms may persist for months afterwards but always resolve completely.<br />
The EN lesions are ushered in by fever, general aching and feeling unwell. Red lumps appear on the shins or about the knees and ankle. They vary in size between a cherry and a grapefruit and in number from 2 to 50 or more. Usually there are about a dozen large lumps on the front and sides of the legs and knees; the thighs, outer aspects of the arms, face and neck are less frequently involved. At these other sites the lesions are smaller and more superficial. The lesions are oval patches which are slightly raised above the surrounding surface, the elevation increasing gradually towards the centre; they are hot and painful, bright red when they first come out, later becoming purple then fading through the colour changes of a bruise.<br />
Lesions continue to erupt for about 10 days. The \&quot;bruising\&quot; colour-change starts in the second week, becomes most marked in the third week, then subsides at any time from the end of the third week to the sixth week. Aching of the legs and swelling of the ankles may persist for some weeks, especially if the patient does not rest up. New crops of EN may occur over a number of weeks. Rarely, 2 or 3 large lesions merge to form a crescentic ring, which spreads for some days before fading. Conjunctivitis may occur.<br />
Tests<br />
If you have EN, your doctor is likely to arrange some tests. These may include:<br />
Throat swab<br />
Sputum or gastric washing if TB is suspected<br />
Complete blood count and ESR<br />
ASO titre (a test for streptococcal infection)<br />
Chest X-ray<br />
Virus studies<br />
Yersinia titres<br />
Mantoux test<br />
Treatment<br />
If you have EN, seek your doctor's advice &ndash; you may be referred to a Dermatologist.<br />
Bed rest is advised for severe EN.<br />
Firm supportive bandages or stockings should be worn.<br />
Aspirin or other anti-inflammatory medication.<br />
A course of potassium iodide is often effective in clearing it.<br />
Mild cases subside in 3 weeks, more severe ones in about 6 weeks. Cropping of new lesions may occur within this time, especially if the patient is not resting.</p>

Background: Erythema nodosum (EN) is an acute, nodular, erythematous eruption that usually is limited to the extensor aspects of the lower legs. Chronic or recurrent EN is rare but may occur. EN is presumed to be a hypersensitivity reaction and may occur in association with several systemic diseases or drug therapies, or it may be idiopathic. The inflammatory reaction occurs in the panniculus.<br />
Pathophysiology: EN probably is a delayed hypersensitivity reaction to a variety of antigens; circulating immune complexes have not been found in idiopathic or uncomplicated cases but may be demonstrated in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.<br />
Frequency:<br />
In the US: Peak incidence occurs at age 18-34 years. Age and sex distributions vary according to etiology and geographic location.<br />
Internationally: Rates of EN vary according to country. In England, the rate is 2.4 cases per 10,000 per year.<br />
Mortality/Morbidity: In most patients, EN resolves without any adverse reactions.<br />
Sex: Women are affected more often than men, with a male-to-female ratio of 1:4.<br />
Age: EN may occur in children and in patients older than 70 years, but it is more common in young adults aged 18-34 years. Age distribution varies with geographic location and etiology.<br />

History:<br />
The eruptive phase of EN begins with flulike symptoms of fever and generalized aching.<br />
Arthralgia may occur and precedes the eruption or appears during the eruptive phase.<br />
Most lesions in infection-induced EN heal within 7 weeks, but active disease may last up to 18 weeks. In contrast, 30% of idiopathic EN cases may last more than 6 months.<br />
Febrile illness with dermatologic findings includes abrupt onset of illness with initial fever, followed by a painful rash within 1-2 days.<br />
Physical:<br />
Pertinent physical findings are limited to the skin and joints.<br />
Primary skin lesions: Lesions begin as red tender nodules (see Picture 1). Lesion borders are poorly defined, and lesions vary from 2-6 cm. During the first week, lesions become tense, hard, and painful; during the second week, they may become fluctuant, as in an abscess, but do not suppurate or ulcerate. Individual lesions last approximately 2 weeks, but occasionally, new lesions continue to appear for 3-6 weeks. Aching legs and swelling ankles may persist for weeks.<br />
Distribution of skin lesions: Characteristically, lesions appear on the anterior leg; however, they may appear on any surface.<br />
Color of skin lesions: Lesions change color in the second week from bright red to bluish or livid. As absorption progresses, the color gradually fades to a yellowish hue, resembling a bruise. This disappears in 1 or 2 weeks as the overlying skin desquamates.<br />
Hilar lymph nodes: Hilar adenopathy may develop as part of the hypersensitivity reaction of EN. Bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy is associated with sarcoidosis, while unilateral changes may occur with infections and malignancy.<br />
Joints: Arthralgia occurs in more than 50% of patients and begins during the eruptive phase or precedes the eruption by 2-4 weeks. Erythema, swelling, and tenderness occur over the joint, sometimes with effusions. Joint tenderness and morning stiffness may occur. Any joint may be involved, but the ankles, knees, and wrist are affected most commonly. Synovitis resolves within a few weeks, but joint pain and stiffness may last up to 6 months. No destructive joint changes occur. Synovial fluid is acellular, and the rheumatoid factor is negative.<br />
Causes: Currently, the most common cause of EN is streptococcal infection in children and streptococcal infection and sarcoidosis in adults. Numerous other causes have been reported. The causes reported most often in the literature are as follows:<br />
Bacterial infections include the following:<br />
Streptococcal infections: These infections are one of the most common causes of EN.<br />
Tuberculosis: An important cause in the past, tuberculosis has decreased dramatically as a cause for EN but still must be excluded.<br />
Yersinia enterocolitica: This gram-negative bacillus causes acute diarrhea and abdominal pain and is a common cause of EN in France and Finland.<br />
Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection may cause EN.<br />
Leprosy: Clinically, erythema nodosum leprosum resembles EN, but the histologic picture is that of leukocytoclastic vasculitis.<br />
Lymphogranuloma venereum may cause EN.<br />
Salmonella infection may cause EN.<br />
Campylobacter infection may cause EN.<br />
Fungal infections include the following:<br />
Coccidioidomycosis (San Joaquin Valley fever) is the most common cause of EN in the American Southwest. In approximately 4% of males and 10% of females, the primary fungal infection (which may be asymptomatic or involve symptoms of upper respiratory infection) is followed by the development of EN. Lesions appear 3 days to 3 weeks after the end of the fever caused by the fungal infection.<br />
Histoplasmosis may cause EN.<br />
Blastomycosis may cause EN.<br />
Drugs: Sulfonamides and halide agents are an important cause of EN. Drugs more recently described to cause EN include gold and sulfonylureas. Oral contraceptive pills are implicated in an increasing number of reports.<br />
Enteropathies: Ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease may trigger EN. EN associated with enteropathies correlates with flares of the disease. The mean duration of chronic ulcerative colitis before the onset of EN is 5 years, and EN is controlled with adequate therapy of the colitis.<br />
Hodgkin disease and lymphoma EN associated with non-Hodgkin lymphoma may precede the diagnosis of lymphoma by months.<br />
Sarcoidosis: The most common cutaneous manifestation of sarcoidosis is EN. A characteristic form of acute sarcoidosis involves the association of EN, hilar lymphadenopathy, fever, arthritis, and uveitis, which has been termed Lofgren syndrome. This presentation has a good prognosis with complete resolution within several months in most patients.<br />
Beh&ccedil;et disease is associated with EN.<br />
Pregnancy: Some patients develop EN during pregnancy, most frequently during the second trimester. Repeated episodes occur with subsequent pregnancies or with the use of oral contraceptives.<br />
Approximately one third to one half of patients with chronic sarcoidosis have skin lesions. Skin manifestations of sarcoidosis can be either specific or nonspecific, but most are granulomatous in nature and occur more commonly in black patients. Erythema nodosum is by far the most common skin lesion occurring in patients with sarcoidosis, affecting 15 to 34 percent of patients in most studies (Figure 6). In Britain and Scandinavia, erythema nodosum occurs in 15 to 20 percent of patients. It occurs most often in women of childbearing age and is often associated with pregnancy or lactation, suggesting an etiologic hormonal co-factor. More than 90 percent of patients with sarcoidosis who develop erythema nodosum present with a stage 1 chest radiograph.[6] Lofgren's syndrome, which consists of erythema nodosum, fevers, bilateral hilar adenopathy and myalgias, may also occur and is considered an \&quot;acute\&quot; form of sarcoidosis. Lupus pernio, which consists of persistent violaceous lesions on the nose, cheeks and ears, occurs in 4 to 9 percent of patients with sarcoidosis (Figure 7). It is a manifestation of chronic fibrotic sarcoidosis and is associated with involvement of the upper respiratory tract, advanced pulmonary fibrosis, bone cysts and ocular disease. Other skin lesions include persistent plaques, subcutaneous nodules, ulcerations, maculopapular eruptions, scars and keloids.<br />
Ocular disease affects approximately one quarter of patients with systemic sarcoidosis and may involve any area of the eye. Uveitis is the most common ocular manifestation of sarcoidosis, affecting 25 percent of patients with the disorder, but sarcoidosis is responsible for only 5 to 7 percent of cases of uveitis overall.<br />
Initial evaluation included a chest radiograph revealing extensive bilateral hilar adenopathy with a large right paratracheal node, but no infiltrates were noted (Figure 1). A complete blood count showed a normal hemoglobin level (15.2 g per dL [152 g per L]) and hematocrit level (44.6 percent [0.45]), normal red blood cell indices and a white blood cell count of 7,200 [mm.sup.3] (7.2 x [10.sup.9] per L) with a normal differential. Cold agglutinins were negative. All serum chemistries, including calcium, renal and liver panels, were normal. Pulmonary function testing showed a forced expiratory volume in one second ([FEV.sub.1]) of 80 percent predicted but was otherwise entirely normal. Arterial blood gases were normal. Results of an electrocardiogram were normal. Skin tests for anergy and tuberculosis were negative (i.e., normal). The patient was referred to a pulmonologist, and a subsequent bronchoscopy revealed a slightly injected right mainstem bronchus; at the same time, mediastinoscopy was performed and biopsies were taken from seven lymph nodes, revealing \&quot;non-caseating granulomas\&quot; consistent with sarcoidosis. A serum angiotensin converting enzyme test was performed, and levels were found to be 240 nmol per mL per min (4,000 nkat per L). The normal range is 10 to 50 nmol per mL per min (167 to 834 nkat per L).<br />
The patient was advised to stop smoking, but no other therapy was administered. Annual radiographs were performed and, four years later, a radiograph revealed 90 percent clearing of the adenopathy. Results from pulmonary function testing remained normal. The patient's only complaint was \&quot;occasional\&quot; palpitations, but a thorough cardiac evaluation was unremarkable. No therapy was necessary during the next 10 years, and the patient has remained \&quot;disease-flee\&quot;<br />
A large number of patients (40 to 50 percent) with chronic sarcoidosis have extrapulmonary involvement that can affect almost any tissue. In some patients, it is this extrathoracic sarcoidosis that initially causes the patient to seek medical attention. Table 2 shows the frequency of intrathoracic and extrathoracic manifestations of sarcoidosis.</p>
 
<p>Approximately one third to one half of patients with chronic sarcoidosis have skin lesions. Skin manifestations of sarcoidosis can be either specific or nonspecific, but most are<br />
granulomatous in nature and occur more commonly in black patients. Erythema nodosum is by far the most common skin lesion occurring in patients with sarcoidosis, affecting 15 to<br />
34 percent of patients in most studies (Figure 6). In Britain and Scandinavia, erythema nodosum occurs in 15 to 20 percent of patients. It occurs most often in women of childbearing<br />
age and is often associated with pregnancy or lactation, suggesting an etiologic hormonal co-factor. More than 90 percent of patients with sarcoidosis who develop erythema<br />
nodosum present with a stage 1 chest radiograph. Lofgren's syndrome, which consists of erythema nodosum, fevers, bilateral hilar adenopathy and myalgias, may also occur and is<br />
considered an \&quot;acute\&quot; form of sarcoidosis. Lupus pernio, which consists of persistent violaceous lesions on the nose, cheeks and ears, occurs in 4 to 9 percent of patients with<br />

and ocular disease. Other skin lesions include persistent plaques, subcutaneous nodules, ulcerations, maculopapular eruptions, scars and keloids.<br />

sarcoidosis, affecting 25 percent of patients with the disorder, but sarcoidosis is responsible for only 5 to 7 percent of cases of uveitis overall.</p>

<p>Twenty-nine percent of patients with sarcoidosis present at stage 2. During this stage, chest radiographs show hilar lymphadenopathy associated with diffuse pulmonary infiltration The signs and symptoms are usually mild in relation to the severity of the abnormalities shown on radiograph.</p>

<p>Multiple pulmonary nodules or infiltrates may also be present. Results of pulmonary function testing demonstrate restrictive disease with a decreased diffusing capacity, although obstructive changes resulting from bronchial involvement may also be present. One half of these patients undergo spontaneous remission, but 25 to 30 percent remain at stage 2 or progress to stage 3. In patients with stage 3 sarcoidosis, the chest radiograph shows diffuse pulmonary infiltration without hilar lymphadenopathy (Figure 5). Only about 12 percent of patients present at stage<br />
3. The chest radiograph frequently shows fibrosis with small lung volumes, elevation of the diaphragms and \&quot;honeycombing\&quot; (fine fibrosis occurring throughout: the interstitial lung tissue).</p>

<p>The patient presenting with stage 3 sarcoidosis may have minimal symptoms, (i.e., cough, dyspnea, mild weight loss) or significant problems, including pulmonary hypertension, cot pulmonale and respiratory failure. Many patients in stage 3 have intrinsic restrictive changes on pulmonary function testing but, as a result of bronchial involvement, many also have obstructive changes. Patients at stage 3 usually undergo a chronic course; complications such as pulmonary fibrosis are common and irreversible.</p>

<p>Also, at this stage, extrapulmonary findings are more common, especially skin involvement.[6] In up to 30 percent of patients at stage 3, sarcoidosis spontaneously remits within two years. Table 1 shows the stages of sarcoidosis and the radiographic findings at the time of diagnosis. Other intrathoracic radiographic findings seen in patients with sarcoidosis include alveolar infiltrates that may appear extensive or patchy, atelectasis, nodular cavitation, pleural thickening, pleural effusions and calcifications.<br />

3 Varies: may be minimal 30% spontaneously<br />
(cough, dyspnea, weight remit within two years loss) to severe (cor pulmonale, pulmonary hypertension; may progress to respiratory failure)</p>

<p>Prognosis<br />
The prognosis of patients with sarcoidosis is generally good, with spontaneous resolution of disease being the \&quot;rule\&quot;<br />
Mortality rates vary from 5 to 8 percent.[2] The prognosis is usually better in women, in patients with less severe<br />
pulmonary staging at the time of diagnosis, in patients who do not exhibit anergy and in patients with normal globulin<br />
levels. Proper management of sarcoidosis can clearly improve the quality of a patient's life.</p>
 
<p>Treatment<br />
The goals of treatment for sarcoidosis include resolving inflammatory lesions that are interfering with organ function,<br />
preventing pulmonary fibrosis and diminishing symptoms. If the patient presents with stage I or stage 2 disease with<br />
normal pulmonary function tests and no life-threatening signs or symptoms, observation is all that is necessary, as<br />
sarcoidosis is usually a self-limited disease and does not require specific therapy. Treatment is indicated if the patient<br />
has systemic symptoms or if deterioration in lung function is present at any stage, or if the patient presents with or<br />
progresses to stage 3 disease.</p>
 
<p>Sarcoidosis, A Medical Mystery<br />
by Becky Mitchell<br />
What It Is, What It Isn't<br />
Sarcoidosis is a relatively rare autoimmune disease that can affect the skin, lungs, heart, brain and nervous system, eyes, and other organs. Although the disease was first recognized about 100 years ago, little is<br />
known about what causes it and there is no cure. As an autoimmune disease, sarcoidosis is similar to diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus in how it behaves and how it is treated.</p>
 
<p>Depending on the severity, treatment may be needed to control what sarcoidosis does. Sarcoidosis can go dormant on its own or with treatment, and its symptoms often do not recur after the initial onset. In a small<br />
percentage of cases, sarcoidosis is chronic, requiring on-going treatment, with possible occurrence in other organ systems. Chronic sarcoidosis is apparently cyclic in its activity level, with flares of symptoms and<br />
more dormant periods lasting weeks or months. No markers have been identified as indicating how sarcoidosis is going to behave in any individual or how an individual with sarcoidosis is going to respond to treatment,<br />
although a physician experienced with sarcoidosis may be able to make a \&quot;good guess\&quot; based on his or her experience. Whether he or she is willing to voice that guess is another story entirely!</p>
 
<p>Despite a century of research, little is known about sarcoidosis. Research has discovered what it is not. Among other things, it is not a cancer or tuberculosis or AIDS-related. It is not caused by pine pollen or other<br />
identifiable agents like pollution, airborne or otherwise. It is not progressive or contagious. You did not get it from someone else and you cannot give it to another person. As far as we know, nothing you did specifically<br />
caused your sarcoidosis.</p>
 
<p>Who Gets It<br />
Sarcoidosis is most often diagnosed in young adults (20-40 years old), occurring roughly equally in men and women. It is much more common among African-Americans than among white Americans, and is very rare<br />
among Hispanic-Americans, Asian-Americans, and others racial groups in America. Demographics worldwide are variable, with the highest occurrences in Scandinavia and among white, red-haired Irish women.<br />
Although these facts are interesting, they have been of little help in identifying what causes sarcoidosis.</p>
 
<p>What It Does<br />
In sarcoidosis, the immune system starts to attack the body's own tissues, forming small lumps called granulomas. These are like small scars that interfere with the normal function of the organ attacked by the<br />
disease. Even after treatment, the scarring can remain and can continue to have some effect on organ function. For example, sarcoidosis of the eyes can cause blindness if not detected and treated promptly, and<br />
pulmonary sarcoidosis can cause permanent scarring that interferes with breathing during exercise even with treatment. The majority of people diagnosed with sarcoidosis lead relatively normal lives after diagnosis,<br />
with or without treatment, despite the lack of cure.</p>

<p>Some Statistics<br />
About half of all patients diagnosed with sarcoidosis have no or mild symptoms and do not need treatment of any kind. For example, a patient with no respiratory symptoms may have an abnormal chest x-ray during<br />
their yearly check-up. Further tests may or may not be ordered, and sarcoidosis is suspected but not confirmed. Since the patient is not bothered in any way, there is no need to do anything about it. The patient<br />
needs to be aware that they should have check-ups on a regular basis, just to make sure that their sarcoidosis is not starting to flare, and their doctor needs to be aware so that a sarcoidosis flare can be considered if<br />
the patient does report symptoms at a later time. </p>
 
<p>About half of the rest receive treatment and go into remission, usually with no relapse. Those with sarcoidosis of the skin or eyes usually fall into this group, as do those with sarcoidosis of the lungs who have<br />
exhibited some mild to moderate symptoms. For these patients, sarcoidosis may be a bother for 6-18 months, but then live goes back to normal. Again, the patient needs to be aware that regular check-ups are<br />
important, and their doctors need to be aware of that history.</p>

<p>For the remainder, sarcoidosis is considered to be chronic, never quite going completely into remission, even with treatment. Serious pulmonary sarcoidosis with life-threatening symptoms, neurosarcoidosis, and<br />
cardiac sarcoidosis are most commonly this type. For these people, sarcoidosis alters what has been known as normal. Even with the more serious forms of sarcoidosis, though, life can be relatively normal. The<br />
patient with chronic sarcoidosis may need to make some changes to accommodate their new limitations, but they can continue most if not all of their normal activities, even going on to have children. On-going<br />
treatment for sarcoidosis can have an impact on normal life, from side effects to scheduling regular visits to receive one's treatment. Chronic sarcoidosis is like any other chronic illness is this respect.</p>
 
<p>Unfortunately, about 5% of those diagnosed die as the result of this disease. Death results because the granulomas have a severe impact on a major organ like the heart or brain, and cannot be controlled with the<br />
available treatments. There is hope, though. New treatments are being tried for chronic sarcoidosis of these major organs, in attempt to prevent death from this disease.</p>
  
<p>Again, these statistics are interesting, but not terribly important for the average person just diagnosed with sarcoidosis. This disease is very individual, with each person showing a unique collection of symptoms which<br />
can be attributed to their sarcoidosis, before diagnosis, during treatment, and afterwards.</p>

<p>How It's Diagnosed<br />
There is no one test specific for sarcoidosis. Sarcoidosis of the lungs is usually diagnosed using chest x-rays, pulmonary function tests, blood tests, and bronchoscopy with lung biopsy. Similar tests are used for<br />
suspected sarcoidosis of other organs. The diagnosis is by elimination of other possible conditions rather than specific identification of sarcoidosis, although the results of biopsy are definitive for the identification<br />
of granulomous tissue.</p>
 
<p>How It's Treated<br />
Sarcoidosis is usually treated with steroids initially. For sarcoidosis of the skin or eyes, the treatment is topical (as a cream or ointment), although injection of steroids into the eye may be needed if serious iritis or<br />
uveitis is found. Oral steroids - e.g. prednisone or prednisolone - are used for other forms of sarcoidosis, with treatment lasting from 6-12 months. These drugs  suppress the immune system so that the sarcoid<br />
granulomas can (hopefully) heal themselves with little or no lasting damage.</p>
  
<p>If the patient does not respond to this treatment in few months or long-term treatment is necessary, small doses of other drugs like methotrexate, cytoxin, and imuran may be used. These are cytotoxins (cell-killers)<br />
often used to treat cancer. In very small doses, though, they are relatively safe immuno-supressives. Thalidomide has also been used recently to treat neurosarcoidosis and cardiac sarcoidosis when steroids are not<br />
effective or must be continued long-term to control the disease. Although these drugs are much more powerful than even steroids, they tend to have fewer overall side effects and the serious side effects can be more<br />
easily detected while still mild and before long-term damage occurs. For chronic sarcoidosis patients, treatment is usually a trade-off between side effects and the effects of the sarcoidosis itself.</p>
 
<p>Hope for the Future<br />
Since sarcoidosis is relatively rare, there is no great fund of money for research into its causes and potential treatments or cures. There is some work ongoing, in the U.S. and world-wide, mostly at very low levels<br />
such as cellular physiology, immunology, and genetics. For example, one recent publication had an article from a group in Japan that has discovered what may be a marker for a genetic risk factor for sarcoidosis.<br />
Whether work at this level will lead to anything of clinical use remains to be seen, but these published results are small steps along the path to understanding of this disease.</p>
 
<p>Research specifically into sarcoidosis may not be \&quot;high profile\&quot; or widespread, but work in other areas may also lead to hope for sarcoidosis patients. The use of thalidomide for neurosarcoidosis directly stems from<br />
the clinical work with this drug and rheumatoid arthritis, \&quot;crossover\&quot; from other research. Also, work with various drugs for asthma and cystic fibrosis may help the patient with chronic pulmonary sarcoidosis, at least<br />
symptomatically. It is impossible to predict the direction from which a major step in the understanding of this disease may come, but there is research and there is hope.</p>
 
<p>From Personal Experience</p>
 
<p>Diagnosis &amp; Fear<br />
For myself, being diagnosed with sarcoidosis was very frightening: a potentially life-threatening disease with unknown causes and no cure. At first, I did not even know what questions to ask, because I had never<br />
heard of sarcoidosis despite being well read about medical matters. A few days of browsing on the web, seeking information about sarcoidosis, lead to a point where I at least knew what questions I needed to ask the<br />
doctor about my disease and its treatment. I was fortunate to have a doctor willing to sit down with me and answer my questions. I made an appointment with him specifically for that purpose, and I did get some<br />
reassurance from the answers I received.</p>
 
<p>Since then, I have continued seeking information about sarcoidosis and have made a great many friends on the web with this disease and other lung diseases who have been able to provide me with support as well<br />
as information. For me, understanding what is known about this mystery disease has help ease the fear. Sharing what I have learned about this disease has given me strength and hope that are not available to me<br />
otherwise.</p>
 
<p>Grieving for a Lost Self<br />
Any diagnosis of chronic disease starts a grieving process. I had to give myself time to accept that I have a disease for which there is no cure, which has forced me to make changes in my life. I had to mourn the<br />
\&quot;normal self\&quot; I once was and no longer can be. I had to go through the grief process, through anger and bargaining and questioning and depression, to reach acceptance. And this while on steroids!</p>
 
<p>A loving though clueless husband has been my most important support, thank God! He has little understanding of what this disease is and exactly what it does to me on a day to day basis, but accepts me no matter<br />
how rotten I feel or how outrageous I've been behaving from the steroids. Like most of those close to us with chronic illnesses, my husband does not really want to know all about my disease. I think he too is<br />
somewhat frightened by the idea that this thing could kill me. I am fortunate, though, that he is accepting and loving, even without that kind of understanding.</p>
 
<p>The rest of my support has come from online friends with sarcoidosis and other lung disease who have \&quot;walked the path before me.\&quot; They understand in a way my husband cannot what I am truly coping with on a<br />
daily basis. I've come to realize that I need both kinds of support to fully cope with this chronic illness.</p>
 
<p>A Partner in My Medical Care<br />
Since my diagnosis in March 1998 and the subsequent realization in September 1997 that I have chronic pulmonary sarcoidosis, I have learned that it is important to become a partner in my own medical care. As I<br />
have learned about this disease and about myself, I have come to realize that I will not see a doctor who is not willing to work with me and treat me as a reasoning, adult human being, without patronizing me and<br />
without scorn for what I may or may not know about my condition. I have one doctor who acts as coordinator of my care, keeping track of all my medications and receiving notes from all of the other doctors I see to<br />
collect all of this information in one place. I see specialists to deal with specific issues and problems, with any information from them returned to that coordinator.</p>

<p>A Note About Health Insurance<br />
Like most working Americans, I am covered by private health insurance. As a person with a chronic disease, I've learned that I need to make sure that my medical coverage continues if and when I change jobs, so<br />
that insurers are not given the opportunity to not cover me. This may sounds like I am trying to trick the insurers, but I do not see it that way. There are many ways for them to see that I do not abuse the system even<br />
though I may submit the most claims of anyone in my group health plan. I am entitled to that coverage under the law, and will take whatever steps are needed to see that I get it.</p>

<p>Sarcoidosis on the Web<br />
There are a number of sites with information about sarcoidosis on the Internet. A few are listed below.<br />
For straight information, sites from the National Institutes of Health, Vanderbilt University, National Jewish Medical Center, and the Cheshire Medical Center are the best. Their facts are reliable and each one has<br />
slightly different information about this disease, especially the minor symptoms and effects. These sites can be quite technical, though, so be prepared to either look up unfamiliar terms or get lost in the \&quot;pidgin<br />
Swahili\&quot; of medical and biochemical jargon.</p>
 
<p>For online support, the Chronic Lung Disease Forum and the Sarcoid Connection are both great sites. The former has a bulletin board to which you can post messages and communicate with other chronic lung<br />
disease patients, and the latter is a site run by a sarcoidosis patient with a chat room. There are also sites sponsored by sarcoidosis support groups and activist organizations trying to garner support for sarcoidosis<br />
research.</p>
 
<p>More sites are being added regularly, by those with this disease and by those who treat this disease. Type \&quot;sarcoidosis\&quot; into the search box of your favorite search engine for more links. Like any medical information<br />
on the web, though, consider its source (hospital or research center, an individual or support group) and take any questions you have to your doctor for answers.</p>&quot;

Well, they did lung capacity tests and found reasonable cause to go up to me and tell me I have Asthma. The I was carted down to the lower level, felt like a fluorescent lit dungeon. I got to wear those stylish hospie gowns again. I then was told I CAN keep my pants on, guess my legs were too hairy to bear. so, wow. Lidocaine! Nasty bitter foul liquid was sprayed into my nostril and back of my throat, I gagged, coughed til my eyes watered, then they opted to just knock me out and so I lost 2 - 3 hours, still not sure which and woke up with sore nose, throat and dry as heck inside. Bronchoscopies are fun! Well aside from the Asthma theories they have, I'm waiting for the results of four tests on thursday and teh last one to be revealed is monday. Why the damn secrecy, it's really angering me. I do have a right to know.<br />

HI!!! Cobalt, you sound \&quot;Chipper\&quot; ...Good 4-U, glad you are. DR'S!!! I swear...you mentioned how they keep info regarding you \&quot;Thier Secret\&quot;. Other day, at the Clinic I forgot this slip that is torn off the bottom of a Progress note. It has info. for next appointments...referrals,etc. My chart was in the Pharmacy, went there and ask for that slip. I guess this guy was new, he handed the whole sheet to me. Hey, No Problem,right???*LOL* I hand it to the Appointment Lady and her eyes get BIG @s@ and she ask me \&quot;WHO gave you this\&quot; I ask why and she went into all the privacy stuff and it was to be seen by the medical personel(sp) ONLY!!! I then began to point out The Patients Rights posted on the wall behind her, ASking why can I NOT see this paper...so on. She stood her ground...*lol* told me there could be something I shouldn't know...After that comment I just let it go and NEVER told her who gave it to me. HAHA And, believe me, she wanted a name...BAD. Lil'Rat...</p>

<p>Okay good news, I guess, I have atypical Sarcoidosis. IT was'nt forming in the way normal sarc does, hence some of the weirdness. btw, this is a recent new sarc symptom I developed last night.</p>

<p>Half my hand is numb.</p>

<p>Not totally numb, but I've lost some feeling from the ring finger to the pinky on the right hand.<br />

Dear Rebecca,<br />
                                                I certainly agree with you regarding the rest issue. I skipped school last week and slept alot!!!! I really needed a week to just sleep. I feel rejuvinated....Although I wouldn't mind getting 11 hours everyday. I have 2 more months to complete my program. School and work is wearing me out. Cobalt, please take care of yourself, considering having to do what ever it is you do.<br />

<p>Dear Cobalt and Group,<br />
            I really feel for all of you who are in falre-ups and who continue to work--especially the long hours on your feet you put in , Cobalt. Do you ever have off two days in a row? If you do, I would so strongly recommend you arrange to have a marathon bedrest. Try to sleep as much as you can manage. For me sleep is so restorative and really helps with the swelling in the leg. If you can't sleep that much at least try to rest in a lying down position for the edema. I know everyone's body reacts differently, but I know I'm not the only one who has such good results from bedrest--others have said the same.</p>

<p>            I just got up from sleeping nearly 12 hours straight. I am lucky I have the luxury of being able to do that. My body needed it as I didn't get any \&quot;nap\&quot; in the afternoon. Could the \&quot;mild case\&quot; of EN I experience be due in part to the way I \&quot;baby myself\&quot; with the rest I seem to need? All I know from experience is that I'd be asking for trouble if I didn't get the sleep my body craves.</p>

<p>By the way, I have fantastic dreams in technicolor---many are complete with songs and dance numbers--like those old muscials. And I often find many wonderful rooms--often fabulously furnished-- once I opened the door to a beautiful tiled Grecian pool. Believe me, bedrest is no deprivation! It's my other life!<br />
            Have a Blessed Day of Rest, Everyone!<br />
      Love,<br />
      Rebecca</p>

<a href="http://wonderofitall.com">http://wonderofitall.com</a></p>

<p>In <a href="http://wonderofitall.com">http://wonderofitall.com</a> the crisis stage, the patient is seriously ill and very frightened. Both psychologically and physically he or she has a decreased ability to respond to others. The sick person's energies are directed inward toward healing, and controlling panic.</p>

<p>The patient is often too sick to even be frightened. Events are often confused.</p>

<p>Time is distorted. Disorientation is common. At these times we fall back on our innate biological ability to heal.</p>

<p>The support network, on the other hand, is feeling a highly stressful increase in anxiety, especially as it must carry the full responsibility for arranging for medical care, covering finances, and seeing that children's lives, if children are involved, can go on with a minimum of disruption. The family's anxiety can be energizing. The family may feel a need, sometimes an obligation, to be highly supportive of the patient.</p>

<p>By and large, everyone responds well in a crisis. Everyone knows the patient is terribly ill. And they respond.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, those most affected by the patient's illness do not always receive the support and help they need at this time.</p>

<p>Friends sometimes respond by showering the sick person with cards, flowers, and get-well-soon wishes. Unfortunately, much of this is misdirected. The very ill person often cannot appreciate these signs of concern and affection. Patients often feel burdened by all the thank-you notes they cannot send. Friends can often do more by helping the family and other members of the support network to deal with the medical system, the incoming phone calls, and to give direct support when it becomes clear that the idea of \&quot;get well soon\&quot; has no relevance to chronic illness.</p>

<p>During the crisis stage almost all of the patient's energy and attention are focused on responding to the physical onslaught of the illness. Surviving is the primary concern.</p>

<p>In addition, the patient and the family must cope with the fear of an unknown and unknowable future. It is all too clear that the comfortable patterns of the past have been shattered. It is not clear at all what may lie ahead.</p>

<p>ISOLATION</p>

<p>In time, the acute nature of the illness may abate. But total recovery does not occur, and the illness persists. There is a dawning awareness of everyone's part that the situation has become a chronic one. There will be no full recovery. There is so much uncertainty about the future that the patient may not be able to sleep at night and may seem restless and distracted during the day. The lack of an expectable future constitutes a major assault on one's self-image.</p>

<p>The patient's anxiety often produces a stiffness or frozenness in dealings with others and oneself. There is a belief, usually partially justified, that no one can understand the devastation of the losses. Isolation most troubles patients who have been the most independent.</p>

<p>The family has often exhausted itself during the acute crisis stage. Family members may become aware that they are angry, fearful, and disgusted about the sick member's situation. Both patient and family members retreat into themselves and their thoughts, now haunted by the knowledge that life may never be the same.</p>

<p>Friends also tend to give out at this point -- the idea of chronic illness is really terrifying to most people. After an initial burst of energy, some friends may find it too overwhelming a personal struggle to continue having contact with either patient or family. Some patients have been devastated by an apparent lack of concern shown by people for whom they care. I say apparent because often failure to contact the patient means that friends may care but don't know how to act.</p>

<p>This leads to a thorny question. How comfortable are you in asking for help?</p>

<p>What does it mean to you to have to ask for help?</p>

<p>These questions begin to surface during the isolation stage, but actually they are part of everyday living for most chronically ill people. To feel really comfortable allowing others to help you is an art that must be learned and practiced. It is difficult to understand that relying on other people when it is necessary does not indicate weakness or failure. One of the emotional barriers to asking for help is a strong feeling of guilt about having a disease that makes one need help. During the isolation stage, patients look inward and experience many negative feelings about themselves.</p>

<p>In the isolation stage open communications are vital. Blame must not play a part. Talking about feelings is very important. Communication and sharing are ways to break the isolation.<br />

<p>I'm sorry I missed this thread, Mant.   I just thank God you're better now and could resume your real life.   Remember, keep your life as stress-free as possible.   I don't have sarcoid, but I do have a self-diagnosed (LOL) nervous condition that makes it well-nigh impossible to handle emotional stress, especially if it's protracted.   It makes me want to drink and to start smoking again.  So I keep my life as stress-free as humanly possible.</p>

<p>Back in November, I was accused of being cold, severe and uncaring because I told this crazy lady who E-mailed me with these bizarre accusations that I wanted nothing more to do with such foolishness.  So her fiance with whom she shares a home, who was a  long-time close friend of mine, he told me I had to socialize with her and be her friend or he would abandon our friendship.  I told this young man (about 45) that this was his choice, but that I didn't need to be stressed out by anything, especially abusive behavior.  So that was the end of that.</p>

<p>So avoid stress like the plague that it is....to your physical condition and my mental condition!  :D</p>&quot;

Dear Group,<br />
          Cobalt, you have a way of turning lemons into lemonade! It is true that \&quot;bad health is one of nature's ways of holding you for ransom,and the asking price is that a person slow down and simply be good to themselves\&quot;. I hope Everyone will be especially good to themselves this Valentine's Day Weekend. Relax, be Happy, and if someone offers to do something nice for you, let them. For me being useful and of service to others is one of the best feelings there is. Let others enjoy the good feelings of being of service to YOU.</p>

<p>And Please tell people how much you love and appreciate them. Those of us with health issues can get to express our thanks and appreciation more often than most---and that turns lemons into lemonade.<br />
          Love,<br />
     Rebecca<br />

<p>{Their version of heaven can wait, like forever. Also damn I got an appointment today right in the smack dab middle of my sleep schedule for breathing tests to see if the medicine they told me to go away, go home and take 4 weeks ago is having any effect. I don't feel much different, but at least I can walk without screaming red lightning shooting up my legs. I've been being good, I've been avoiding sunlight, not eating after midnight, NOW can I get OUT OF THIS MOGWAI COSTUME? \&quot;Gizmo no likes, Gizmo getting p____ed off and ready for majorleague f___ing a__-kick session, Gizmo gonna pop a clip in some _ss ___ of a b____!

<p>I know all those medical tests and procedures are boring and aggravating, Mant.  At least you can see the humor in them.  Most important of all, your condition is getting better, little by little, and will eventually be history.</p>&quot;

<p>Hi!<br />
I finally figured out how to get into this forum! Looks like my \&quot;words of (non) wisdom\&quot; were already copy/pasted in. I'm Rebeccastrecker from the Erythema Nodosum Group. Pleased to meet ya all. Hey, I can let my \&quot;alter ego\&quot; come out here--cool! Maybe I'll find some chat room and pretend like I'm 25. Right! I'm rally 56, gettting pretty grey, but still have long hair ---very long--some things don't change.<br />
You let me know exactly what you want to find out about--list your symptoms and current meds and questions.<br />
sarcinfo.com has great info on sarc so go back and see if they address your questions. Trevor, the researcher, is using an antibiotic regimin to treat sarc. You can read about it on his site. He's been getting good results and says he has cured his own sarc. Problem is that you feel worse before you feel better using his approach. As I said, I'll post your questions if you want me to. We'll get to the bottom of this, because you have felt lousy long enough!<br />
Love,<br />

<p>Hi Rebecca, glad to see ya.  I have no medical problems, unless you can count the mental ones, LOLOL!   I'm older than you and still crazy after all these years.  :)</p>

<p>I'm real glad to see there's a support group for sarcoid patients.   We all need a support system of some kind, just to get through life, with or without any medical problems.</p>&quot;

<p>Hi ReeseElla,<br />
There are quite a few Sarcoidosis support groups. The Group I moderate is for erythema nodosum--a condition of red hot painful lumps and bumps usually on legs that accompanies quite a few other disorders including sarc. I've had it for 35 yrs...and it goes in and out of remission with me without drugs.:-). Also, I've never found a concurrent disorder ---quite a mystery this EN thing. I started my EN Group exactly 8 months ago today! I invited anyone with EN and related disorders and the group is really great. I've been doing research on this new fangled computer and now the EN Group has so much info on rare and autoimmune disorders that even those without EN find it helpful. We discuss all kinds of health issues and explore all sorts of treatments from high tech drugs to coconut macaroons (no kidding a member mentioned it yesterday and there is a connection between coconut oil and Crohn's that also presents with EN). Anyway sorry to hog the board with all this.<br />
Hope everyone has a Great Day!!<br />
Love,<br />
Rebecca</p>&quot;

<p>Dear AriesPheonix,<br />
I'm pretty much of an early bird--so tend to get to sleep early, but will check in if I'm able to.<br />
I guess this is an astrology group? I'm a Libra--Aries rising, moon in Picies if I remember it right. Had mine and hubby's scopes done a long time ago--I probably still have them around here. Casting those scopes used to be a lot of work. I guess there are computer programs that do them now LOL.<br />
Have a great day!<br />

Our unstated goal, one of them is increasing awareness on various topics And since I'm gonna have this experience I might as well put the time I spend in it to good use. :P Yay me! Nothing much happening with me yet, the meds are working I'm starting to get my hand's ulnar nueropathic nerve problem under control, but I'm noticing real dry skin around the numb areas, what else is being cut off from me or is it that I could'nt feel that hand and was heedless of the reflexes everyone takes for granted that keep your dermal covering from degrading like this? BTW Happy Site Anniversary, dunno when exactly the whole Metaverse idea started, but this site started around November. ANd I'm a Scorpio with Leo Moon and Ascendant. I get all my chart info from friends, books, and <a href="http://www.astro.com">www.astro.com</a> teh free charts are neato! Seeya on the emailside! :D and welcome to being a new and great 'Phorum Phriend!</p>&quot;

<p>I think this chat is neat! I never went into a chat room before, so thanks for inviting me.<br />
Did you ever try putting vaseline onto the hand and wearing a glove over it at night? That is an old trick for dry skin that we girls who lived in very cold winter climates used. It really is helpful. Same goes for dry feet and wearing socks to bed. You might give it a try.<br />

He's still single and we both married . She's single now, and my first husband stuck--over 30 yrs. Hey, I could be old enough to be your mom!!<br />
I put my photo on the profile, and I came out real skinny--I mean I am skinny but I came out even skinnier.<br />

<p>Dear AriesPhoenix,<br />
Had my horoscope cast today by the free service Bloodgeon (or Cobalt as I call him) told me about. It says: Sun in Libra, Moon in Pisces, Aries Rising--sounds like we have a lot in common..although I have not got much astrological savvy. My hubby has his Sun in Aries, Moon in Libra and is Scorpio rising.<br />
I don't even know what all the terms mean. Like what is a Ture node? We call the erythema nodosum lumps \&quot;nodes\&quot; LOL! And I never heard of the Imum Coeli and Medium Coeli. My Descendant is also Libra--is that what they now call the 7th house? Are you all astrologers in this group?<br />
Hope you don't mind a novice joining.<br />
Have a great evening (or morning?)<br />
Love,<br />

And don't worry we're all novices of a sort, still waiting for a fullfledged Astrologer to come along, if they appear, I'll promote them instantly more than likely. I could attempt a chart interpretation sometime and we can see what the imneum mimneum nimeenimeenimeeum thingies are all about. I kinda like my chart, but forthat Scorpionic transformatoive stuff, getting to experience all sorts of weirdness. Sarcoidosis (rolls eyes, sighs) wha luck, lol, what scared me most was lookign at my chart and the charts of tw people who've passed away and saw 5 sets of similar aspects, made me wonder, do still wanna beieve in Astrology or what.}</p>&quot;

<p>Mant is a great young man, in fact one of the finest people I've ever met.  With that established, I have to say, Mant, that your sarcoid is just life on life's terms, what's called an AFGO (another f---ing growth opportunity).  I hate it that you've delevoped such a nasty medical problem so young.  It's mostly young men who do get sarcoid.   But it usually resolves by itself within two years.   I just thank God as I understand Him that it's benign sarcoidosis and not a malignant sarcoma....or other type of nasty cancer.  (I'm also even grateful that my brother's cancer is a non-aggressive, slowly progressive type of lymphoma, if he has to have cancer.  Some types of non-Hodgkin's are quickly lethal.  But the average life expectancy for his type of lymphoma is 10 years from the time of diagnosis, so he's going to live to see his youngest son give him grandchildren, and enjoy his new marriage for a long time to come.)</p>

<p>Maybe you can use some of your \&quot;down time\&quot; to develop your exceptional talent as an artist, like the pictures you've sent me, including the one I got yesterday.   Everybody I forwarded them too is most impressed with them.  Your BF radiate!   You seem to have the gift for capturing their movement and energy, and your anatomy is as perfect as it gets.</p>

<p>I guess I might could feel guilty that I'm old and have never had a real medical problem or surgery in my life except the usual tonsils and wisdom teeth.   But for all my young days, I had to cope with being an addict and alcoholic, so I was not without a major disease.  Maybe God knew that was all I could deal with at the time.</p>

<p>You WILL get well.  Plus you're in my prayers daily when I hit my knees, and I believe in the power of prayer.  Honey, you have so much to offer the world that there is no way you're not gonna get well, and back in the woods and mountains, with all your stamina and well-being returned to you.  Count on it!</p>

<p>Guess I'll check out that horoscope site now and see what they have to say--I've heard that Capricorns are all crazy, but I been knowing that, and don't want to be sane if it means having to act my age and have rigid attitudes. :D</p>&quot;

<p>Good Morning!<br />
Hope You selpt well! I just read the posts thas came in while I slept, and the word words sardoidosis and cancer were said in the same sentence. So not having ever heard about a connection, I did a Search. Here is the info I discovered:<br />
* Eur Respir J. 1999 Aug;14(2):482-3.</p>

<p>Sarcoidosis and cancer revisited: a long-term follow-up study of 555 Danish sarcoidosis patients.</p>

<p>Romer FK, Hommelgaard P, Schou G.</p>

<p>Dept of Medicine, Silkeborg Central Hospital, Denmark.</p>

<p>For more than 20 yrs it has been debated whether the systemic disease sarcoidosis predisposes to malignant neoplasms. The aim of this study was to examine the occurrence of cancer in Danish sarcoidosis patients observed for 9-30 yrs. The clinical data of 555 consecutive sarcoidosis patients were linked with the nationwide Danish Cancer Registry in a database, comparing the results with the expected incidence in the Danish population, adjusted for sex, age and calendar time. The sarcoidosis patients were diagnosed in two areas during the periods of 1960-1971 and 1970-1981, respectively, and followed until December 31, 1991. No excess of cancer was observed in sarcoidosis patients. A total number of 48 patients were observed with cancer (20 males and 28 females). Cancer occurred 1-29 yrs after sarcoidosis diagnosis (median 14 yrs) The observed versus expected (O/E) ratio was 1.16 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.75-1.79) in males and 1.28 (95% CI 0.88-1.86) in females. No increased occurrence of lung cancer or malignant lymphoma (O/E ratios 0.23, 95% CI 0.00-1.25 and 1.25, 95% CI 0.02-6.95, respectively) was found. Neither age at diagnosis of sarcoidosis nor clinical sarcoidosis features were indicators of later occurrence of malignancy. The study could not confirm previous reports of an increased occurrence of malignant neoplasms in Danish sarcoidosis patients.</p>

<p>PMID: 9817167 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]<br />
*************<br />
No increase in cancer found--and this is a big study and a recent one.</p>

<p>Did you draw the pictures that are posted here as you enter the Phorum? They are wonderful!!<br />
I agree that Astrology gives you potential but not a \&quot;death sentence\&quot;. Notice all the reads are positive and negative. You choose how to use the potential. As Shakespeare said \&quot; the problem lies not in our stars but in ourselves\&quot;.<br />
See what happens when I sleep so long? I get philosophical. I do agree that this is all a learning experience. I too have been healthy all my life--except for EN. I have been brought down by it. I have learned that I am no better than the next guy, I know I didn't do anything wrong to get it. Bad things happend to good people. And I am thankful that my EN is not associated with the sarc. or Crohn's that others have to deal with. You said you no longer smoke--so that maybe sarc. saved you from developing lung cancer in the future. There are inspirational sarc. stories. I' send one over next I find it, ok? I read one yesterday. I'll find it again.<br />
Wishing you and the other Phorum posters a Great Day!<br />

<p>Here is the \&quot;inspirational\&quot; sarc. story I promised. It is posted to a sarc. group that has a link to the EN Group:</p>

<p>GREG writes:</p>

<p>Sarcoidosis struck suddenly in 1986. Shortness of breath, no energy, fatigue, stiff ankles, swollen joints, weak leg muscles, night sweats, chest congestion, and a raw irritating cough were symptoms that plague me. I found myself unable to even climb a flight of stairs. I thought I was dying. On top of that I began experiencing watery eyes, and was unable to tolerate the sunlight. A lung biopsy revealed I had indeed contracted a rare, incurable decease known as sarcoidosis.</p>

<p>I spent the next 15 years on a regiment of prednisone that spiraled my weight out of control and a continuous cycle of remission and recurrence of the disease. Fortunately, at last a friend inspired me to take control of my own well being. We researched sarcoidosis through the internet and, empowered with the new found knowledge, we began a body workout program in a local gym. We then replaced doctors, who were able to switch me to an alternative drug to stop the thinning bone pattern of prednisone, added calcium to my diet, and joined a support group.</p>

<p>Today life is grand. I am active in church, hold a good job, participate in community activities, and am engaged to be married to that one person who inspired me to take charge of my own health. That is the advice I give to anyone living with sarcoidosis. Take charge of your own future. Be a fighter. Be healthy for you. Be happy. It's all in attitude!</p>

<p>Here's another:</p>

<p>SUE writes:</p>

<p>I'm a white female who was diagnosed with sarcoidosis in 1991, when I was 37 years old. After a very bad cold or flu, I continued to feel sick, was fatigued, had a cough, felt an irregular heartbeat, had trouble swallowing, had a continuous stomach ache, felt a fullness in my chest, had achy joints, some memory loss, developed a raised, red lump on my left shin, called an erythema nodosum and a large, raised, red bump on the tip of my nose. A chest X-ray showed enlarged lymph nodes, and then a mediostinoscopy (a cut right above the breastbone to reach lymph nodes) and biopsy showed sarcoidosis. I started on prednisone, and felt better very quickly; but whenever I tried to stop the prednisone the symptoms came back.</p>

<p>Despite this I was able to work and finish an advanced university degree. In 1997 after a particularly stressful time, I had another bad flare up with cough, red, painful, hot spots on my ankles, knees and elbow, memory loss, fatigue and general sick feeling. Since then I've taken prednisone, plaquenil, methotrexate and various pain medications. I've continued to have sarcoid problems, including kidney stones, heel pin, and loss of lung function. I've had some bouts with depression, but have never given up.</p>

<p>Although sarcoidosis is a \&quot;pain in the neck\&quot; I'm happy to be alive and have found comfort from our sarcoid support group. Everyone's case of sarcoidosis is different, and with many people it goes away, so don't give up and continue to hope for better tomorrows!</p>&quot;

<p>{All are still applicable to an extent. as for weight gain and loss, it's like a roller coaster ride here. I scared the worst of it off, it seems when I took a nice long midnight walk. It really got me back for that later, but it weakened it's psychological grip on me. Now it's just some breathing issues, lowered energy, weakened muscles at times, coughing and congestion. It's like a nonstop Cold/Flu, does wonders for the mood. :P lol}</p>&quot;

<p>I sent your message to Sarcoid Buddies, but it hasn't shown up on the EN Group yet. I will let you know if I get a response from SB. I edited it a bit to make you sound less upbeat. I think they tend to answer those who need encouragement. Here is the info I sent them:</p>

<p>I have atypical Sarcoidosis. It wasn&rsquo;t forming in the way normal sarc does,<br />
These are the meds I take now:<br />
Spectracef {also known as Cefditoren Pivoxil}<br />
Bextra {Valdecoxib}<br />
Advair {Fluticasone Propionate}</p>

<p>My initial Symptoms:<br />
Shortness of breath, no energy, fatigue, stiff ankles, swollen joints, weak leg muscles, night sweats, chest congestion, and a raw irritating cough.</p>

<p>Now it's just some breathing issues, lowered energy, weakened muscles at times, coughing and congestion. It's like a nonstop Cold/Flu, Half my hand is numb, Not totally numb, but I've lost some feeling from the ring finger to the pinky on the right hand, numbness and tingling. As for weight gain and loss, it's like a roller coaster ride.</p>

<p>I also have trouble with edema in the legs and am on a very low salt diet.</p>

<p>I have to work and twice a week need to do a 12-hour shift that requires walking and standing as a night watchman. I avoid sun and watch my vitamin D intake by reading all food labels.</p>

<p>I&rsquo;m in my 30&rsquo;s now and feel sick most of the time. Is this numbness and flu like symptoms something that can get better? I am getting so discouraged!</p>

<p>Thank you !<br />
Cobalt<br />

<p>{Oh yeah that might get better results, it sums it up nicely. WHat I noticed with alot of people in that group was that the symptoms they had were so much more severe, like loss of sight, sensation, extreme fatigues, organ tissue issues. just stuff that does kinda make mine pale and invalid by comparison. Nobody likes to hear about someone doing better and dealing with it humorously I guess it may have seemed mocking?..}</p>&quot;

<p>EDEMA - PATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND TREATMENT</p>
 
<p>Donald E. Kohan, M.D., Ph.D.</p>
 
<p>General Concepts<br />
            Edema is defined as soft tissue swelling due to expansion of the interstitial volume.  Edema can be localized or generalized.  The normal distribution of body water is illustrated below.</p>
 
<p>1. Generalized edema involves an increase in extracellular fluid only (18% of body weight).  Some extracellular fluid compartments, termed transcellular fluids (cerebrospinal fluid, intraocular fluid and joint fluid) do not communicate freely with the rest of the body.</p>
 
<p>EXAMPLE:  A 70 kg adult has an ECF volume of 12.6 L (18% of body weight).  If 2.5 L of fluid is added to this compartment alone, there is a 20% increase in interstitial fluid, but only a 3.5% increase in body weight.  This amount could result in detectable edema.</p>
 
<p>2. Generalized edema is due to increases in both total body water and sodium.  If just water is retained, it distributes throughout the total body water compartment (60% of body weight) and edema will not usually form.  However, if sodium is retained as well, it is confined to the extracellular spaces.  The increased osmolality due to sodium retains water in the ECF.</p>
 
<p>3. Generalized edema can occur with low, normal, or high serum sodium concentration.   Serum sodium concentration, per se, does not reflect total body sodium.  Increased total body sodium can occur with a low, normal or high serum sodium concentration. </p>
 
<p>Mechanisms maintaining interstitial fluid volume<br />
            The volume of interstitial fluid is determined by Starling's Law: Hydrostatic Pressure (capillary - tissue) - Oncotic pressure (capillary - tissue) = net fluid movement out of capillary into interstitium.<br />
            Oncotic pressure = osmotic pressure created by plasma protein molecules that are impermeable across the capillary membrane.</p>&quot;

<p>Here is the last part of the article you posted Cobalt:<br />
Treatment of edema</p>

<p>The treatment of edema should neither begin nor end with the administration of diuretics. The basic approaches to treatment are as follows.</p>

<p>1. First, treat the underlying disease.</p>

<p>2. Decrease sodium and water intake, either dietary or intravenous.</p>

<p>3. Increase excretion of sodium and water</p>

<p>a. Diuretics - remember, these are palliative, not curative.</p>

<p>b. Bed rest, local pressure</p>

<p>4. Do not make the disease worse. Other than treatment of severe pulmonary edema, treatment of edema is not usually an emergency. The use of all diuretics entails one major risk: excessive diuresis. Overdiuresis causes volume depletion, hypotension, inadequate organ perfusion and a host of complications. USE CAUTION!</p>

<p>Fluid restriction</p>

<p>An edema forming patient typically loses little sodium from his/her body - about 15 mEq/day in urine, sweat and stool combined. Placing a patient on a low salt diet (about 1 gm per day) gives an intake of sodium of about 17 mEq/day. Thus restricting dietary salt often does not decrease edema, it only prevents edema from becoming worse.</p>

<p>A major problem in hospitalized patients is those receiving intravenous fluids. In many patients, an intravenous line containing some sodium chloride is kept running continuously. Typically, the lowest rate that keeps a vein patent is 500 ml/day. Even using the a low sodium concentration (l/4 normal saline), the patient is given 19 mEq sodium/day. Thus, intravenous fluids can be a major cause of edema in hospitalized patients with problems excreting sodium.</p>

<p>Diuretics</p>

<p>Diuretics inhibit sodium and water reabsorption in the nephron. Several classes of diuretics are available that have different sites of action, potencies and side effects. Diuretics will be discussed in detail after the lectures on edema, water metabolism, and potassium homeostasis.<br />
*********<br />
Note:\&quot;Thus restricting dietary salt often does not decrease edema, it only prevents edema from becoming worse.\&quot; also<br />
Note part 3 b says to use bedrest and local pressure.<br />
That means legs up, and wear elastic bandages or stockings.<br />

<p>Dear Cobalt,<br />
Here is the response I got from Kipy, the founder of Sarcoid Buddies:</p>

<p>From: Kipy Sent: 3/12/2004 9:21 PM<br />
Hi Rebecca,<br />
I don't know why this person can't get in to SarcoidBuddies if he<br />
is a Member. Please tell him to write me at:<br />
<a href="mailto:Kipy1@msn.com">Kipy1@msn.com</a> and I will see what I can do to get him in here.<br />
As for his question....... he is having a \&quot;Sarcoid Flare\&quot; as we<br />
call it. Normally, this doesn't get better on it's own..... Most<br />
Doctors will put him on Prednisone to get the disease under<br />
control.....once it is under control and he is feeling better....then,<br />
the Doctor will start to ween him off of the prednisone. Many people<br />
refuse to go on the Prednisone because of all the side effects that it<br />
has. I just want to say that Prednisone is NOT a bad drug when you<br />
are on it short term. Most people who have experienced bad side<br />
affects.....have been on it for a long period of time. I was told<br />
this by the Doctor I have now. I was put on prednisone and left on it<br />
for years and years....and now I have what is called \&quot;Drug Induced\&quot;<br />
Diabetes. The Doctor back then told me that keeping me on a low dose<br />
wouldn't cause any problems. I shouldn't have listened to<br />
him....but, I thought he knew what he was doing. Anyway.....<br />
Prednisone is the only thing that has helped me with these flare ups.<br />
Now, the numbness that he is experiencing.....sounds like the Sarc<br />
is in the Peripheral nerves....which are the large nerves that are in<br />
the legs and arms. He needs to let his Doctor know about this<br />
numbness.....he may need to be sent to a Neurologist.<br />
Thanks so much for relaying his message to us, Becky. Hope you<br />
have a GREAT weekend too.<br />

<p>{Yeah the Doc was told about the numbness in the hand and I'm on meds for it, some sensation is returning, but it's still dull feeling, so I'm not dancing for joy yet. I'll email Kipy later on teh MSN Groups thing, could be yet another webtv thing, ... why did MSN buy teh webtv franchise only to neglect it? lol sheesh. Nuerologist, that worries me, I heard the sarc growths can growth in the brain too? and here I am stressed about recent stuff on the job and at home.. yagh. Losing a job you can recover from, losing my eyesight or worse is not an option.</p>&quot;

Given the nuerological side effects of SARC I wonderif I was just being grouchy and paranoid about what seemed an exclusion. I can lose the feeling in my hands, but losing my mind is a worry!

<p>Listen you have to put those negative thoughts out of your mind! Yeah, some people go blind. My hubby got glaucoma before he was 40--big scare. He already lost some vision. He took control and took his meds--found a doctor he trusted--had eye surgery--twice. Now he has great vision...still loss of some field, but so good he doesn't need glasses. He takes his own pressure with a hand held device --same as the one the dr. uses. He is very proactive. And he blesses his eyes every day and thanks God for his vision. In fact he says glaucoma helped him to live a healthier lifestyle--he really skirted on the edge before.<br />

<p>BEXTRA</p>

<p>Here's what you need to know to get the most out of your treatment plan.<br />
BEXTRA provides powerful relief of arthritis pain</p>

<p>Once-daily prescription BEXTRA is a medicine that provides powerful, 24-hour relief of the pain, inflammation, and stiffness of osteoarthritis and adult rheumatoid arthritis. BEXTRA is also used to relieve painful menstrual cramping (primary dysmenorrhea).</p>

<p>How does BEXTRA work?<br />
BEXTRA targets an important source of arthritis pain.</p>

<p>The body produces an enzyme called COX-2, which plays a major role in causing arthritis pain and inflammation. BEXTRA works by targeting this enzyme to relieve the pain, stiffness, and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.</p>

<p>The body also produces a related enzyme called COX-1, which has beneficial functions such as helping to protect the lining of the stomach. At recommended doses, BEXTRA does not target the COX-1 enzyme. For this reason, doctors and scientists refer to BEXTRA as a COX-2&shy;?specific inhibitor.</p>

<p>BEXTRA and you: The power of working together</p>

<p>Although BEXTRA is not a cure for arthritis, it can help reduce the pain, inflammation, and stiffness of osteoarthritis and adult rheumatoid arthritis. To get the best results, it's important that you do your part and take BEXTRA regularly, as prescribed by your doctor.</p>

<p>Follow these tips to get the most from your treatment plan:</p>

<p>Don't skip doses. If once-daily BEXTRA has been prescribed for you, follow your doctor's instructions for taking it every day, not only when you're feeling pain or stiffness. Consistent use of BEXTRA will help control arthritis pain, inflammation, and stiffness.</p>

<p>Make taking BEXTRA a part of your routine, such as by taking it at the same time every day. That way you'll be less likely to forget to take it.</p>

<p>Remember, you may take BEXTRA with or without food.</p>

<p>Check in with your doctor regularly so that he or she can assess your progress and make changes to your treatment plan if necessary.</p>

<p>Inform your doctor of any other medications (including over-the-counter drugs) you may have started taking since your last office visit.</p>

<p>Let your doctor know if you experience any side effects while you're taking BEXTRA.</p>

<p>Try to maintain a healthy lifestyle.</p>

<p>Follow your doctor's advice on exercise, eating right, and maintaining your weight. We provide a helpful exercise guide for people with arthritis joint pain on this Web site.</p>

<p>Keep a Power Progress Log to show your doctor how you're progressing in the pursuit of your personal goals.</p>

<p>Ask your doctor any questions you may have about your arthritis or about BEXTRA.</p>

<p>Working with your doctor is key to achieving the most rapid and effective pain relief possible. You and your doctor are partners in your fight against pain. So it's important to make the most of each and every office visit. Check back with your doctor to discuss how your treatment is working and to adjust your dosing if necessary.<br />
Remember: When you do your part, you and BEXTRA form a powerful, united front against arthritis pain.</p>

<p>Do doctors in the US charge if you write down like a weekly diary of whats going on for your condition and hand it in like homework? It would keep them up-to-date with their patient and means you can continue avoiding sunlight and the extra stress of waiting forever in their waiting room...maybe even pass on your email addy so they can contact you if they see something that needs more care?...dunno how it works for you there, i can cheat and take my 3 year old into the doc with his ailments and get 'free' advice...just a thought :)</p>&quot;

<p>Yes, Sarcoid is pretty awful, but it can go into remission, and sometimes it goes away for good. I am hoping that Cobalt is one of those! And you are so right--at least it is not cancer!! But it can get serious. One of the guys who had a sarcoid support group just died. Very sad--he was a great guy with young kids. But we all have to go sometimes.<br />

<p>Mant, I totally agree with Rebecca.  Put fear and negativity out of your mind today.   It's a fact that negative energy attracts negative people and therefore, unpleasant events.   The opposite is also true.   Just claim recovery and healing in the name of the Great Spirit as you understand Him.   You will not lose your mind--unless you worry yourself to death.  You won't lose your sight, either.  I've been legally blind since high school with extreme nearsightedness and astigmatism, but my vision is correctable to 20/20 and in fact has gotten a little better in my old age on account of the presbyopia that accompanies getting old, and it counteracts the nearsightedeness to some degree.   Fear and negativity is the devil's greatest tool....however you may perceive the \&quot;devil\&quot;.   The devil  may be just basic fear plus toxic socialization, but regardless, he's not a guest to entertain in your head, so evict him!</p>

<p>Your wonderful young life has just begun, and you have a truckload of work to do in this life before you can go home to that big research center in the sky, Mant.   So keep on doing what you're doing.</p>

<p>Yeah, BTW, when are you gonna send me some more of your fabulous art?   People are asking for it....Angela, for one, and Billye too.  :)</p>&quot;

I've heard that in this day and age,  \&quot;bipolar\&quot;  has become a blanket term they are using for every problem anyone has.   True bipolar disorder, I understand, is a nightmare.   I've met a few people who REALLY have it, and they suffer horribly until they are treated.  Some don't want to be treated, either, which makes it much worse.</p>

<p>I'm totally in favor of counseling when you have trouble, like a chronic disease, be it sarcoid, diabetes, heart conditions or any other kind of serious stress.  Counseling helped me many years ago when I was having a time with my teenager, who turned out just fine later on.   But the counseling probably saved my life....or HERS, LOLOL!   I could have strangled her back then.  :D :P :D</p>&quot;

<p>{Back from the doc, well this is a few days later, but when do I get the time to type anything anymore, for 3 days my time is not my own, and filling my damn days off with appointments was NOT a good idea. This week I'm taking it easy, laying down excercising, excercising laying down, and watching a stack of new movies we got from a yard sale.</p>

<p>Anyways, the Doc says the good thing about Sarcoidosis, is it hits once and then never comes back as bad? Dunno if he's totally right there, the victims I talked to say it's a lifelong affliction. Seems to be saying if I can make it to Summer okay... or through... something. got a bag of Gvar inhalers, saw a picture of te inside of my red inflamed swollen lungs, and went home happy. lol}</p>&quot;

<p>Mant, not to be a nag, but with your sarcoid, I truly hope that you are no longer smoking, or at least that you've cut down to only 2-4 per day!</p>&quot;

<p>Well, you could always go to Smoker's Anonymous meetings, though I have a feeling their relapse rate is even higher than OA (Overeaters Anonmymous) and much, much higher than AA, NA or any other 12-step Program.   Just do the best you can, that's all you can do.   It's harder to stop smoking than anything else except eating candy.</p>&quot;

<p>If this sounds like whining, tough, #### off, it's how it is.</p>

<p>This is my life.</p>

<p>Still taking Advair and something-buterol for the breathing and avoiding dietary and sunlight induced vitamin D. Fun thing is my skin is pale, I almost glow in the dark. lol!*</p>&quot;

<p>*I've been running into a crowd of questions and personal issues on this, so I guess it's time for an Update.</p>

<p>What IS Sarco-whatsit?</p>

<p>How are you feeling Now?</p>

<p>Is it contagious?</p>

<p>Are you Sure you gotta avoid sunlight, stress, extertion or is it all a cop-out?</p>

<p>Who was Bloodgeon?*</p>

<p>{In Answerings:<br />
Sarco-thingymahwhatsit's described better in previous postings on this thread. Feeling now? Detached, undead, apathetic, achey, in a kind of fugue, normal, getting better/worse everyday, lol. And I'm gonna &fnof;&ccedil;&dagger;&copy; beat to death the next person who asks if it's contagious, the hell it is, yeah lemme cough on ya and we'll find out, or better yet, do away with the condoms I got ... \&quot;transmission vector\&quot; for ya Right Here! Cop-out, that's another way to see me giving it my all or at least my very best effort to beat into a thin red paste some silly&aring;&szlig;&szlig; &eth;&ccedil;&dagger;licker who once again, has all the wrong things to say. Put it this way, try getting like, muscle aches from every bit of work over the basic walking and doing-ness of life, and instead of fading, and recouping, they stick around, and soon you have layers of compounding bad muscle memory so to speak. This latest security contract's doing wonders for me, lol, I mean, uh, Not? Thank the gods vacation's coming up. So, counting on the fingers, my individual blessings, lol. one...uhhh.., Finally, yezzz, Who was this Bloodgeon guy, that's a name I've not heard for a lonnng tiiime. Well He's Me, I was Bloodgeon! (trying this attempt at an ObiWan monologue re-enactment scene here, bear with me) But as things go, things change, transformations happen, molecules whack out for a bit, and the more things change, the more they suck, lol. Hope all this cleared up things for people. Anyone asking is welcome to be sent here to spare me my barely memorized self diagnosis readout mode activations.}</p>

<p>[Bloodgeon, who is now Stargoyle, who is also a few other cool names he had to reserve is due for yet another doctor's appointment. Seems he had the very close symptoms of a heart attack, minor or low medium cardiac problem. This would be as a result of the Sleep Apnea as a result of the Asthma and that results from the Sarcoidosis. The amount of bacterial scar tissue in the lungs complicates air intake making the heart work a little harder to retain oxygen absorption. the Feeling was a caving in feeling of chest pain, a sharp ache all down the left arm, waking up very anxietous. Tried to keep it from CrystalGryphon, but the usual doom and gloom morbid mindset inquired of having a will ad testament set up, and immediately the question was asked \&quot;Heart troubles?\&quot; Nothing gets past her! So the Doc app't is for tests, EKG, and referrals to a heart doctor, primary care physician and a good sleep clinic where some testing can be done. CG's highly upset about this, thinking she could lose a loved one very soon. Good ol Stargoyle, being halfway on the other side anyways, is as prepared to die as one can possibly be, unshakably in the frame of mind death is only a transformation, and the mourning is like Regretting selling your Saab compact for an RV or something. At a point in time when you come to the full realization that your lifespan is only partally within your control, you extend your control to other things you Can manage. The surviving worldly goods, tying up loose ends, costs of corpse disposal, lol, er funeral plans and making sure you have a plan \&quot;B\&quot;, because heaven forbid a person might possibly Survive and Live longer just to spite the fates, and outlive those graves he himself wants to dance on. That's all the news for now, had to type this out under a differnt account because time is short and I cant be interrupted by messenger peoples. Hope they understand.]</p>&quot;

<p>My mom was referred to some sort of specialist too. He has thrown a couple of diagnses at her, before he was certain what was wrong. They still don't know what's wrong, but they're sticking with inclusion body miositis, which is fatal, and will most likely result with my mother suffocating. Supposed to mess up her breathing real bad.</p>

<p>But the tests that have been done were inconclusive! Doctors are idiots. What do they know. You keep plugging along, uh, all of you metaphorms. And sorry to hear about the awfully-close-to-sounding-like-a-heart-attack thing. Remember you have fans!!</p>&quot;

<p>[The Doc said it was uh indigestion, acid reflux or something, Dad went to the doc for a symptomatic minor heart attack too and was told it was gas, so who knows. When it was asked if this was a connection to Sleep Apnea, THAT got Doccie's attention, if only for a second. Stargoyle's age is said to be waaay too early to be having heart problems except in the case of certain drug users. Guess what. His mom's boyfriend thought it would be hee-frikkin-larious to put meth in the coffee machine, knowing he'd have coffee before going to school. Us 'Phorms are all as one holding together, for as long as fate, destiny, and life are letting us.]</p>&quot;

{Tad melodramatic, uhm, twitch-twitch, update time}<br />
<br />
*Two all new brand new medications have added themselves to my gradually weirding life routine. One's just a water pill fr blood pressure, it's uhhh what are you, c'mere fugger, let's see... HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE 25MG, yeah it's a water pill, supposed to cause more frequent uh.. whizzing but I've noticed no difference yet. <br />
<br />
This other is the fun one, I had ta kill alot of pride dignity and independance consenting to this one. I've always considered me needing this kind of help a sign of weaness, I can handle myself thankyouverymuch now stand back or I will fruggin rip your doggamn head of and vomit down your neck, lol. BUPROPION, forgot what it was for exactly, uh manic depressoin, bipolar or schizophrenia, also known as WELBUTRIN. I blame the damn questionnire my new doc gave me for all the yes's it got outta me, have you ever, do you feel sometimes like, was there ever a time you, yes yes yes and omfgd yes? I am a WRECK! lmao. <br />
<br />
Day one of taking it, mellow, happy, peaceful lazy, laid around and purred alot. Day two, a workday, mellow amused by troublemakers antics, disinclined to do any real work, day three also a workday, anxious, depressed, angry as hell, red rage, solitary not thinking the medication is working or working correctly, suspectign side effects, sick and tired and stabbing gut cramps.<br />
<br />
For you who know me in SHADE, this means I'm keeping some distance from large room chats, the main and busier towns, and probably will attempt to kill anyone near me to vent, for fun, for whatever. Hope ya understand, even in a virtual world I'll need ta be aone fr a bit until I can sort things out. <br />
<br />
For those in the Meaphorum, 'm somewhere between breezing by as hte mood and time allows, gettin group soppy hugs, lol, and wanting to devote even more tmie to here on a backlog of projects and enhancements I've brain, er brainstormed for this corner of the internet.<br />
<br />
For those in my real life, please please please stop ¶ßßing me off, I see conspiracies outta the corner of my mind, patterns to everything said and done to me, parts of larger plans having nothing to do with anything good to or for me, resenting, hating and imagining black vile morbid thoughts to about anyone who comes off strangely to me. When this does medicine kick truly IN?!? Grrr.*<br />

<p>My mom takes hydrochlorothiazide. I didn't know it was meant to make her urinate more, lol. Crazy! What purpose does peeing more serve??? She can't take any anti-depressants because she's on too many meds. And she can't take any cholesterol meds for the same reason, but her cholesterol is getting madly out of control. The doctor said she's going to have a heart attack sooner or later, and it will be big.</p>

<p>And I have that poster with Puss in Boots!! Where he's holding his hat and looking all cute and innocent and stuff. I think that he is looking at my bookshelf, curiously. Maybe he wants me to read him a story! I think that After Hamelin might have a mouse or two in it. Whatcha think Puss?? Hm? Story time?</p>&quot;

<p>*Yep, Dr. Happy said it was a water pill. {psuedonymming my doctors now so they'll be anonymous and more amusing} His destructions were to take it about 3 hours before you plan to have uninterrupted running to the bathroom sleep. This is the week I start on the standard two welbutrins a day, things could get weird, if I feel a little out of it I'll spare you guys that situation, lol. And AQRN My heart goes out to you and your mom with a bit of understanding duct-taped to it, as I have a mom who's deliberately shortened her lifespan by 20 or more years, her heart could go at any time too, especially as to how much she seems to love stressing out, lol, aherm, grrr.*</p>&quot;

<p>{it reminds me it exists in some of the most enthusiastic ways..,}</p>

<p>*Around 9am I was awoken by pain in the left midsection, from back t front, from the bottom of the ribcage to the hip joint, left side. As if I was caught in a huge invisible beartrap of pain. It felt like a sword was stuck through me. Cramping burning stabbing, had all this before, but this time it was intense, this time it was playing for keeps. I couldn't lay in any comfortable position and yet trying to get up hurt just as bad, but I did eventually have t get up.</p>

<p>My morning routine is to make the zombie motor functions of the me I live in, to make me coffee, nothin doin', standing hurt, walking hurt, something was seriously seriously wrong here. I read up on my favorite forums and reply briefly to a few, wincing, gritted teeth, face feeling flushed, shut off the web and laid back on the recliner, felt better after awhile. Gt up to do it again, immediately relapsed into pain.</p>

<p>Recliner again, ok, got a wee bit worried so called the wife at work, she flew into action, she's done research on this and knows it can get worse, and knowing our kinda luck, worse would typify the experience. Managed to get showered and shaved and into uniform but luckily my primary care money spong-uh oops physician had a cancellation at 3;30 and we went on in, after deducing it wasn't a hernia, it wasn't constipation, it was what put me on a liquid diet for 24 hours, and if it happens again I'll get a trip to the emergency room or and a cat scan.</p>

<p>This thing can attack organs, spread t anywhere the bloodstream goes. This is what had me wondering, I'm almost beyond fear, but dyign wuold interfere with alot of plans and schedulings. Bad enough my boss couldn't find anyone to sub for me for the night, and the worksite had been phone called a death threat earlier that day so tehy needed the site supervisor that I am there.*</p>

<p>...is lost in furrowed brow thought for about ten minutes...</p>

<p>{I would just love to be retired, nobody knows how long they have left on thsi planet life, and it makes no sense spending that indeterminate amount of existing time doing something you don't like. Giving your time to the ungrateful, who never repay it, selling your soul so your skin stays warm and dry and your stomach filled. One of the oldest threads here on the metaphorum, and things haven't really improved. But it does help to vent this out on page somewhere, my thoughts, concerns, my pain and my weakness. I gotta do some lab work sometime soon too, means More Needles! And the poor nurse's spending embarassing amounts of time searching for my small veins thru my thick skin. That alone is almost worth the price of admission, lol.}</p>&quot;

<p>*So far so ok. A bit wiped out and a trace edging of potential headache imminent, but the gut is ok. Gut check. Motion unrestricted, just feeling a bit dead tired in there, lol. Why is it so damn HOT AGAIN!?!?! Summer is supposed to be dead over and the hell gone. Shut that sun the &fnof;&ccedil;&dagger; off. But it explains the headache. Good news is I won't be needing a cat scan or the emergency room, though I am curious about a further cat scan being done.*</p>&quot;

&quot;34&quot;;&quot;4&quot;;&quot;True enough. Well to sum it up the Zombies were actually extremely autosuggestive blow fish toxin filled prisoners. Vampires are those with skin or sun avoidance diseases like me. Actually Vampires arose from the misunderstanding of the corpus decompositus process. Gas bloated seemingly healthy bodies that make a sighing noise when some superstitious gravegoon messes with his burial plot? Psychic Vampires, though not actually undead might have been mistaken for some by demerits alone. They lived in some very narrowminded idiotic times back then. More will occur to me later, I'm just not all that quick upstairs til I've had my crimson draught of some healthy nightjogger lol.

<p>{Let's add a few on to this, the doctors evidently don't think I'm bad off enough lol. Now I have a seperation in my abdomenal sixpack called Diastasis Recti, kind of like a hernia but w/o the actual fullblown spillage outage of the gutage. My inner and outer linings are holding up but I have this dragonlike weakness in my muscular plating as I like to think of it as. Hard to describe really but if I were to lean way back arching myself back a fin like lump bulges from under my sternum, that be me stomach. I'm still overdue to do research on this but I will soon.}</p>

&quot;7&quot;;&quot;3&quot;;&quot;Hiya all, Meta's cellphone here experimenting with forum telepresence. I'll be testing it's ability to access this place remotely with the low html PDA setting. If all goes as well as planned I can browse the board during the slow hours at work too. The internet may never be rid of me! Just wanted it clarified that I am who I am so if you see a Cellphorm roaming the TypeCastle at night you'll know it's just me goofin off at work. And if you call my bosses and tell them I'm playing around I'll rename your profile to PoopyPants247 and make your avatar into a pic of the Great Mighty Poo, lol, jk, maybe.  ;-)&quot;

<p>Sorry lol just in case, ya never know, just in case one of these radio people find their way here your show was not bumped out because I'm biased but I only got 20 options for this system's poll config, and the shows I listed here are still mentioned for vote of confidence, compliment, confirmation, maybe even complaint. </p>

<p>BarnCat's show is not a real realized program but mere delusional thinking and therefore not a real show but yet still posted up as if it were an option because he is such a vain creature.</p>

Most people have innate wisdom, just don't use it often!<br />
Most people have nothing unique, enlightening or wise to say!<br />
Most people are omniverous bipedal mammal primates.<br />
Most people have noticed a repetition going on here...,</p>

One of the best of these is a chat network called Flash'Em. It has numerous rooms although a lot of the people there only use the main top one because it is easier to get to than the others. In Flash there is a community message board type of thing where people post many different things. Some are sayings and mottos, others are romantic, but the rest is alot of bad words and people being mean to eachother. I want to do this here too, but differently. <br />
Okay enough weird talking, that sounded like a 2nd grade school report, lol, but there's your explanation, and to kick this off with a quote I'd say: <br />
\&quot;Sometimes the urge to express yourself must first be checked with what it is you think you need to express. Is it worth expressing?\&quot; <br />
\&quot;I must be some sort of Contortionist! I have my Foot in my Mouth, but my Head's up my @$$!\&quot; <br />

<p>From:&nbsp;Stargoyle &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5/7/2005 6:28 pm&nbsp;To:&nbsp;ALL &nbsp;Poll&nbsp;(4 of 18)&nbsp;&nbsp;577.4 in reply to 577.3&nbsp;\&quot;I own any form of humor shows fear and inferiority. Irony is simply a kind of guardedness. So is a twinkle. It keeps the reader from criticism. Whittier, when he shows any style at all, is probably a greater person than Longfellow as he is lifted priestlike above consideration of the scornful. Belief is better than anything else, and it is best when rapt, above paying its respects to anybody's doubt whatsoever. At bottom the world isn't a joke. We only joke about it to avoid an issue with someone to let someone know that we know he's there with his questions: to disarm him by seeming to have heard and done justice to his side of the standing argument. Humor is the most engaging cowardice. With it myself I have been able to hold some of my enemy in play far out of gunshot.\&quot; <br />

This one's Totally VaGaBoNd. <br />
The Vagabond's House . . . <br />
Don Blanding - <br />
The Vagabond Poet<br />
&nbsp;<br />
. . . Some Lines Scrawled on the Door of Vagabond's House . . .<br />
&nbsp;<br />
West of the sunset stands my house,<br />
There . . and east of the dawn;<br />
North to the Arctic runs my yard;<br />
South to the Pole, my lawn;<br />
Seven seas are to sail my ships <br />
To the ends of the earth . . . beyond;<br />
Drifter's gold is for me to spend - <br />
For I am a vagabond.<br />
Fabulous cities are mine to loot; <br />
Queens of the earth to wed;<br />
Fruits of the world are mine to eat; <br />
The couch of a king, my bed;<br />
All that I see is mine to keep; <br />
Foolish the fancy seems,<br />
But I am rich with the wealth of Sight,<br />
The coin of the realm of dreams . . .<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Vagabond's House<br />
&nbsp;<br />
When I have a house . . . as I sometimes may . . .<br />
I'll suit my fancy in every way.<br />
I'll fill it with things that have caught my eye<br />
In drifting from Iceland to Molokai.<br />
It won't be correct or in period style,<br />
But . . . oh, I've thought for a long, long while<br />
Of all the corners and all the nooks,<br />
Of all the bookshelves and all the books,<br />
The great big table, the deep soft chairs, <br />
And the Chinese rug at the foot of the stairs<br />
(It's an old, old rug from far Chow Wan<br />
That a Chinese princess once walked on).<br />
My house will stand on the side of a hill<br />
By a slow, broad river, deep and still,<br />
With a tall lone pine on guard nearby<br />
Where the birds can sing and the storm winds cry.<br />
A flagstone walk, with lazy curves,<br />
Will lead to the door where a Pan's head serves<br />
As a knocker there, like a vibrant drum,<br />
To let me know that a friend has come,<br />
And the door will squeak as I swing it wide<br />
To welcome you to the cheer inside.<br />
For I'll have good friends who can sit and chat<br />
Or simply sit, when it comes to that,<br />
By the fireplace where the fir logs blaze<br />
And the smoke rolls up in a weaving haze.<br />
I'll want a woodbox, scarred and rough<br />
For leaves and bark and odorous stuff,<br />
Like resinous knots and cones and gums,<br />
To toss on the flames when winter comes.<br />
And I hope a cricket will stay around,<br />
For I love it's creaky lonesome sound.<br />
There'll be driftwood powder to burn on logs<br />
And a shaggy rug for a couple of dogs,<br />
Boreas, winner of prize and cup,<br />
And Mickey, a lovable gutter-pup.<br />
Thoroughbreds, both of them, right from the start,<br />
One by breeding, the other by heart.<br />
There are times when only a dog will do<br />
For a friend . . . when you're beaten, sick and blue<br />
And the world's all wrong, for he won't care<br />
If you break and cry, or gouch and swear,<br />
For he'll let you know as he licks your hands<br />
That he's downright sorry . . . and understands.<br />
I'll have on a bench a box inlaid<br />
With dragon-plaques of milk white jade<br />
To hold my own particular brand<br />
Of cigarettes brought from the Pharaohs land,<br />
With a cloisonne bowl on a lizards skin<br />
To flick my cigarette ashes in.<br />
And a squat blue jar for a certain blend<br />
Of pipe tobacco, I'll have to send<br />
To a quaint old chap I chanced to meet<br />
In his fusty shop on a London street.<br />
A long low shelf of teak will hold<br />
My best-loved books in leather and gold,<br />
While magazines lie on a bowlegged stand,<br />
In a polyglot mixture close at hand.<br />
I'll have on a table a rich brocade<br />
That I think the pixies must have made,<br />
For the dull gold thread on blues and grays<br />
Weaves a pattern of Puck . . . the Magic Maze.<br />
On the mantlepiece I'll have a place<br />
For a little mud god with a painted face<br />
That was given to me . . . oh, long ago,<br />
By a Philippine maid in Olangapo.<br />
Then just in range of a lazy reach . . .<br />
A bulging bowl of Indian beech<br />
Will brim with things that are good to munch,<br />
Hickory nuts to crack and crunch;<br />
Big fat raisins and sun-dried dates,<br />
And curious fruits from the Malay Straits;<br />
Maple sugar and cookies brown<br />
With good hard cider to wash them down;<br />
Wine-sap apples, pick of the crop,<br />
And ears of corn to shell and pop<br />
With plenty of butter and lots of salt . . .<br />
If you don't get filled it's not my fault.<br />
And there where the shadows fall I've planned<br />
To have a magnificent concert-grand<br />
With polished wood and ivory keys,<br />
For wild discordant rhapsodies,<br />
For wailing minor Hindu songs,<br />
For Chinese chants and clanging gongs,<br />
For flippant jazz, and for lullabies,<br />
And moody things that I'll improvise<br />
To play the long gray dusk away<br />
And bid goodbye to another day.<br />
Pictures . . . I think I'll have but three:<br />
One, in oil, of a windswept sea<br />
With the flying scud and the waves whipped white . . . <br />
(I know the chap who can paint it right)<br />
In lapis blue and deep jade green . . . <br />
A great big smashing fine marine<br />
That'll make you feel the spray in your face.<br />
I'll hang it over my fireplace.<br />
The second picture . . . a freakish thing . . .<br />
Is gaudy and bright as a macaw's wing,<br />
An impressionist smear called \&quot;Sin\&quot;,<br />
A nude on a striped zebra skin<br />
By a Danish girl I knew in France.<br />
My respectable friends will look askance<br />
At the purple eyes and the scarlet hair,<br />
At the pallid face and the evil stare<br />
Of the sinister, beautiful vampire face.<br />
I shouldn't have it about the place,<br />
But I like . . . while I loathe . . . the beastly thing,<br />
And that's the way that one feels about sin.<br />
The picture I love the best of all<br />
Will hang alone on my study wall<br />
Where the sunset's glow and the moon's cold gleam<br />
Will fall on the face, and make it seem<br />
That the eyes in the picture are meeting mine,<br />
That the lips are curved in the fine sweet line<br />
Of that wistful, tender, provocative smile<br />
That has stirred my heart for a wondrous while.<br />
It's a sketch of the girl who loved too well<br />
To tie me down to that bit of Hell<br />
That a drifter knows when he know's he's held<br />
By the soft, strong chains that passions weld.<br />
It was best for her and for me, I know,<br />
That she measured my love and bade me go _<br />
For we both have our great illusion yet<br />
Unsoiled, unspoiled by vain regret.<br />
I won't deny that it makes me sad<br />
To know that I've missed what I might have had.<br />
It's a clean sweet memory, quite apart,<br />
And I've been faithful . . . in my heart.<br />
All these things I will have about,<br />
Not a one could I do without;<br />

ATHENS, Ohio - A man was using his free speech rights when he barked back at a police dog, a state appeals court has ruled. <br />
The 4th Ohio District Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal of charges against a man who answered the barks of Pepsie in this southeast Ohio city in September 2001. <br />
Jeremy Gilchrist, then 21, encountered the dog, which was in a police cruiser, as he walked along a street with friends. <br />
His attorney said he was trying to be funny when he barked back.<br />
\&quot;The mere fact that the police dog had commenced the barking did not entitle it to a solo performance,\&quot; attorney Patrick McGee wrote in the appeal. <br />
{Where does one stand on this, annoying dog or idiot human? I mean I've been known to moo at cows, bark at dogs, copy whistling birdsongs, but mouthing off to an officer of the law, no matter how furry, that takes some obvious effort from the stupid part of the brain.}</p>

(There is not a woman alive today who won't crack up over this.)<br />
I was due for an appointment with the gynecologist later in the afternoon<br />
and that morning I received a call from the doctor's office to tell me that<br />
I had been rescheduled for that morning at 9:30 am.<br />
I had only just packed everyone off to work and school, and it was already around 8:45 am.<br />
The trip to his office took about 35 minutes, so I didn't have time to spare.&nbsp; As most women do I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene when making such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to make the full effort.<br />
So I rushed upstairs, threw off my pajamas, wet the washcloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash \&quot;in that area\&quot; to make sure I was at least presentable.&nbsp; I threw the washcloth in the clothes basket, donned some clothes, hopped in the car, and raced to my appointment.&nbsp; I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called in.<br />
Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I hopped up on the table, looked over at the other side of the room, and pretended that I was in Paris or some other place a million miles away.&nbsp; I was a little surprised when the doctor said, \&quot;My, we have made an extra effort this morning, haven't we?\&quot;&nbsp; I didn't respond.<br />
After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home.&nbsp; The rest of the day was normal...some shopping, cleaning, cooking, etc.&nbsp; <br />
After school when my 6 year old daughter was playing, she called out from the bathroom, \&quot;Mommy, where's my washcloth?\&quot;&nbsp; I told her to get another one from the cupboard.<br />
She replied, \&quot;No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all my glitter and sparkles saved inside it.\&quot;<br />
-- <br />
Metanote: \&quot;And to clarify, I do not have glitter on my face, I actually DO put in that extra effort, lol.\&quot;</p>

Sometimes the \&quot;correct\&quot; wording is humorously awkward, as in, \&quot;Mr. Hunter cursed his memory of the milkman, away with which his wife ran.\&quot;<br />

Malapropisms<br />
A malapropism is the use of an incorrect word in place of a similarly sounding correct word. The name comes from the character Mrs. Malaprop, from The Rivals, a comedic play by Richard Brinsley Sheridan. The character has numerous lines that illustrate the blunder that would become her namesake. Here is some of her dialogue:<br />
\&quot;She's as headstrong as an allegory on the banks of the Nile.\&quot; <br />
\&quot;He is the very pineapple of politeness.\&quot; <br />
\&quot;Illiterate him, I say, quite from your memory.\&quot; <br />
\&quot;If I reprehend any thing in this world, it is the use of my oracular tongue, and a nice derangement of epitaphs!\&quot; <br />
\&quot;She would have a supercilious knowledge in accounts, and, as she grew up, I would have her instructed in geometry, that she might know something of the contagious countries. This . . . is what I would have a woman know; and I don't think there is a superstitious article in it.\&quot; <br />
\&quot;Parents try to install these virtues in their children.\&quot; <br />
\&quot;He became affluent in French, Italian, Latin, and Greek.\&quot; <br />
\&quot;My parents are alike and indifferent to each other.\&quot; <br />
\&quot;I like to play records on my pornograph.\&quot; <br />
\&quot;Freshmen who inhibit the dorms see next semester as their chance to....\&quot; <br />
\&quot;The extra money is worth spending to keep my piece of mind.\&quot; <br />
\&quot;The rooms downstairs were too cold for me to bare.\&quot; <br />
\&quot;Lost: A watch by a lady with a cracked face.\&quot; <br />
\&quot;Lost: A shirt by a boy with green and blue stripes.\&quot; <br />
\&quot;While driving around town, a tree fell and hit my car.\&quot; <br />
\&quot;Running quickly in the winter air, my nose got cold.\&quot; <br />
\&quot;At the beginning of the novel, Tom Joad comes across a turtle on his way home from spending four years in prison.\&quot; <br />
\&quot;Only people with cars that live in dorms should be allowed to park in those lots.\&quot; <br />
\&quot;Where one parent would be quiet, polite and conservative the other parent would drive up on a black Trans Am full of arrogance and conceit.\&quot; <br />
\&quot;Gertrude and Claudius have broken a couple of values which anger Hamlet.\&quot; <br />

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH <br />
(fascinating) <br />
This is pretty neat. <br />
DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST! <br />
It takes less than a minute . . <br />
Work this out as you read <br />
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!<br />
&nbsp;<br />
This is not a waste of time thing, it's fascinating and only for 2005. <br />
&nbsp;<br />
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate. (more than once but less than 10) <br />
2. Multiply this number by 2 (Just to be bold) <br />
3. Add 5 (for Sunday) <br />
4. Multiply it by 50 . . I'll wait while you get the calculator . . <br />
5. If you have already had your birthday this year Add 1755 . . . if you have not Add 1754. <br />
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were <br />
born. <br />
You should have a three digit number. <br />
The first digit of this was your original number <br />
(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week). <br />
The next two numbers are <br />
YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!) <br />
THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2005) IT WILL EVER WORK , <br />
SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS</p>

This one's Totally VaGaBoNd. <br />
The Vagabond's House . . . <br />
Don Blanding - <br />
The Vagabond Poet<br />
 <br />
. . . Some Lines Scrawled on the Door of Vagabond's House . . .<br />
 <br />
West of the sunset stands my house,<br />
There . . and east of the dawn;<br />
North to the Arctic runs my yard;<br />
South to the Pole, my lawn;<br />
Seven seas are to sail my ships <br />
To the ends of the earth . . . beyond;<br />
Drifter's gold is for me to spend - <br />
For I am a vagabond.<br />
Fabulous cities are mine to loot; <br />
Queens of the earth to wed;<br />
Fruits of the world are mine to eat; <br />
The couch of a king, my bed;<br />
All that I see is mine to keep; <br />
Foolish the fancy seems,<br />
But I am rich with the wealth of Sight,<br />
The coin of the realm of dreams . . .<br />
 <br />
Vagabond's House<br />
 <br />
When I have a house . . . as I sometimes may . . .<br />
I'll suit my fancy in every way.<br />
I'll fill it with things that have caught my eye<br />
In drifting from Iceland to Molokai.<br />
It won't be correct or in period style,<br />
But . . . oh, I've thought for a long, long while<br />
Of all the corners and all the nooks,<br />
Of all the bookshelves and all the books,<br />
The great big table, the deep soft chairs, <br />
And the Chinese rug at the foot of the stairs<br />
(It's an old, old rug from far Chow Wan<br />
That a Chinese princess once walked on).<br />
My house will stand on the side of a hill<br />
By a slow, broad river, deep and still,<br />
With a tall lone pine on guard nearby<br />
Where the birds can sing and the storm winds cry.<br />
A flagstone walk, with lazy curves,<br />
Will lead to the door where a Pan's head serves<br />
As a knocker there, like a vibrant drum,<br />
To let me know that a friend has come,<br />
And the door will squeak as I swing it wide<br />
To welcome you to the cheer inside.<br />
For I'll have good friends who can sit and chat<br />
Or simply sit, when it comes to that,<br />
By the fireplace where the fir logs blaze<br />
And the smoke rolls up in a weaving haze.<br />
I'll want a woodbox, scarred and rough<br />
For leaves and bark and odorous stuff,<br />
Like resinous knots and cones and gums,<br />
To toss on the flames when winter comes.<br />
And I hope a cricket will stay around,<br />
For I love it's creaky lonesome sound.<br />
There'll be driftwood powder to burn on logs<br />
And a shaggy rug for a couple of dogs,<br />
Boreas, winner of prize and cup,<br />
And Mickey, a lovable gutter-pup.<br />
Thoroughbreds, both of them, right from the start,<br />
One by breeding, the other by heart.<br />
There are times when only a dog will do<br />
For a friend . . . when you're beaten, sick and blue<br />
And the world's all wrong, for he won't care<br />
If you break and cry, or gouch and swear,<br />
For he'll let you know as he licks your hands<br />
That he's downright sorry . . . and understands.<br />
I'll have on a bench a box inlaid<br />
With dragon-plaques of milk white jade<br />
To hold my own particular brand<br />
Of cigarettes brought from the Pharaohs land,<br />
With a cloisonne bowl on a lizards skin<br />
To flick my cigarette ashes in.<br />
And a squat blue jar for a certain blend<br />
Of pipe tobacco, I'll have to send<br />
To a quaint old chap I chanced to meet<br />
In his fusty shop on a London street.<br />
A long low shelf of teak will hold<br />
My best-loved books in leather and gold,<br />
While magazines lie on a bowlegged stand,<br />
In a polyglot mixture close at hand.<br />
I'll have on a table a rich brocade<br />
That I think the pixies must have made,<br />
For the dull gold thread on blues and grays<br />
Weaves a pattern of Puck . . . the Magic Maze.<br />
On the mantlepiece I'll have a place<br />
For a little mud god with a painted face<br />
That was given to me . . . oh, long ago,<br />
By a Philippine maid in Olangapo.<br />
Then just in range of a lazy reach . . .<br />
A bulging bowl of Indian beech<br />
Will brim with things that are good to munch,<br />
Hickory nuts to crack and crunch;<br />
Big fat raisins and sun-dried dates,<br />
And curious fruits from the Malay Straits;<br />
Maple sugar and cookies brown<br />
With good hard cider to wash them down;<br />
Wine-sap apples, pick of the crop,<br />
And ears of corn to shell and pop<br />
With plenty of butter and lots of salt . . .<br />
If you don't get filled it's not my fault.<br />
And there where the shadows fall I've planned<br />
To have a magnificent concert-grand<br />
With polished wood and ivory keys,<br />
For wild discordant rhapsodies,<br />
For wailing minor Hindu songs,<br />
For Chinese chants and clanging gongs,<br />
For flippant jazz, and for lullabies,<br />
And moody things that I'll improvise<br />
To play the long gray dusk away<br />
And bid goodbye to another day.<br />
Pictures . . . I think I'll have but three:<br />
One, in oil, of a windswept sea<br />
With the flying scud and the waves whipped white . . . <br />
(I know the chap who can paint it right)<br />
In lapis blue and deep jade green . . . <br />
A great big smashing fine marine<br />
That'll make you feel the spray in your face.<br />
I'll hang it over my fireplace.<br />
The second picture . . . a freakish thing . . .<br />
Is gaudy and bright as a macaw's wing,<br />
An impressionist smear called "Sin",<br />
A nude on a striped zebra skin<br />
By a Danish girl I knew in France.<br />
My respectable friends will look askance<br />
At the purple eyes and the scarlet hair,<br />
At the pallid face and the evil stare<br />
Of the sinister, beautiful vampire face.<br />
I shouldn't have it about the place,<br />
But I like . . . while I loathe . . . the beastly thing,<br />
And that's the way that one feels about sin.<br />
The picture I love the best of all<br />
Will hang alone on my study wall<br />
Where the sunset's glow and the moon's cold gleam<br />
Will fall on the face, and make it seem<br />
That the eyes in the picture are meeting mine,<br />
That the lips are curved in the fine sweet line<br />
Of that wistful, tender, provocative smile<br />
That has stirred my heart for a wondrous while.<br />
It's a sketch of the girl who loved too well<br />
To tie me down to that bit of Hell<br />
That a drifter knows when he know's he's held<br />
By the soft, strong chains that passions weld.<br />
It was best for her and for me, I know,<br />
That she measured my love and bade me go _<br />
For we both have our great illusion yet<br />
Unsoiled, unspoiled by vain regret.<br />
I won't deny that it makes me sad<br />
To know that I've missed what I might have had.<br />
It's a clean sweet memory, quite apart,<br />
And I've been faithful . . . in my heart.<br />
All these things I will have about,<br />
Not a one could I do without;<br />
Cedar and sandalwood chips to burn<br />
In the tarnished bowl of a copper urn;<br />
A paperweight of meteorite<br />
That seared and scorched the sky one night,<br />
A moro kris . . . my paper knife . . .<br />
Once slit the throat of a Rajah's wife.<br />
The beams of my house will be fragrant wood<br />
That once in a teeming jungle stood<br />
As a proud tall tree where the leopards crouched<br />
And the parrots screamed and the black men crouched.<br />
The roof must have a rakish dip<br />
To shadowy eaves where the rain can drip<br />
In a damp persistent tuneful way;<br />
It's a cheerful sound on a gloomy day.<br />
And I want a shingle loose somewhere<br />
To wail like a banshee in despair<br />
When the wind is high and the storm-gods race _<br />
And I am snug by my fireplace.<br />
I hope a couple of birds will nest<br />
Around the house. I'll do my best<br />
To make them happy, so every year<br />
They'll raise their brood of fledglings here.<br />
When I have my house I'll suit myself<br />
And have what I call my "Condiment Shelf",<br />
Filled with all manner of herbs and spice,<br />
Curry and chutney for meats and rice,<br />
Pots and bottles of extracts rare . . . <br />
Onions and garlic will both be there . . .<br />
And soya and saffron and savoury goo<br />
And stuff that I'll buy from an old Hindu;<br />
Ginger with syrup in quaint stone jars;<br />
Almonds and figs in tinselled bars;<br />
Astrakhan caviare, highly prized,<br />
And citron and orange peel crystallised;<br />
Anchovy paste and poha jam;<br />
Basil and chilli and marjoram;<br />
And flavours that come from Samarkand;<br />
And, hung with a string from a handy hook,<br />
Will be a dog-eared, well-thumbed book<br />
That is pasted full of recipes<br />
From France and Spain and the Caribbees;<br />
Roots and leaves and herbs to use<br />
For curious soups and odd ragouts.<br />
I'll have a cook that I'll name "Oh Joy",<br />
A sleek, ƒåþ, ¥¬¬øœ-faced çªå ™ø¥<br />
Who can roast a pig or mix a drinkl,<br />
(You can't improve on a ߬åþ ¥ð çª†.).<br />
On the gray-stone hearth there'll be a mat<br />
For a scrappy, swaggering yellow cat<br />
With a war-scarred face from a hundred fights<br />
With neighbours' cats on moonlight nights.<br />
A wise old Tom who can hold his own<br />
And make my dogs let him alone.<br />
I'll have a window-seat broad and deep<br />
Where I can sprawl to read or sleep,<br />
With windows placed so I can turn<br />
And watch the sunsets blaze and burn<br />
Beyond high peaks that scar the sky<br />
Like bare white wolf-fangs that defy<br />
The very gods. I'll have a nook<br />
For a savage idol that I took<br />
From a ruined temple in Peru,<br />
A demon-chaser named Mang-Chu<br />
To guard my house by night and day<br />
And keep all evil things away.<br />
Pewter and bronze and hammered brass;<br />
Old carved wood and gleaming glass;<br />
Candles and polychrome candlesticks,<br />
And peasant lamps with floating wicks;<br />
Dragons in silk on a Mandarin suit<br />
In a chest that is filled with vagabond-loot.<br />
All of the beautiful, useless things<br />
That a vagabond's aimless drifting brings.<br />
Then, when my house is all complete<br />
I'll stretch me out on the window seat<br />
With a favourite book and a cigarette,<br />
And a long cool drink that Oh Joy will get;<br />
And I'll look about at my bachelor-nest<br />
While the sun goes zooming down the west,<br />
And the hot gold light will fall on my face<br />
And make me think of some heathen place<br />
That I've failed to see . . . that I've missed some way . . . <br />
A place that I'd planned to find some day,<br />
And I'll feel the lure of it driving me.<br />
Oh damn! I know what the end will be _<br />
I'll go. And my house will fall away<br />
While the mice by night and the moths by day<br />
Will nibble the covers off all my books,<br />
And the spiders weave in the shadowed nooks.<br />
And my dogs . . . I'll see that they have a home<br />
While I follow the sun, while I drift and roam<br />
To the ends of the earth like a chip on the stream,<br />
Like a straw on the wind, like a vagrant dream;<br />
And the thought will strike with a swift sharp pain<br />
That I probably never will build again<br />
This house that I'll have in some far day _<br />
Well . . . it's just a dream house, anyway.<br />
{Had to omit some of the old rustic casual racism of that day and other things, but all in all a fitting tribute to a Nomad Vagabond.}</font>

&quot;65&quot;;&quot;124&quot;;&quot;My mom's condition seems to have been misdiagnosed. She doesn't have myositis (I've previously misspelled this as miositis, just for the records). She has inclusion body myositis (IBM). Slightly different. Wikipedia says it's not fatal, but it pretty much is since it's, like, nonstop muscular degeneration. But she's getting along okay.&quot;
&quot;65&quot;;&quot;125&quot;;&quot;<p>Sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) is an inflammatory muscle disease, characterized by slowly progressive weakness and wasting of the distal and proximal muscles, most apparent in the muscles of the arms and legs. In sporadic inclusion body myositis [MY-oh-sigh-tis] muscle, two processes, one autoimmune and the other degenerative, appear to occur in the muscle cells in parallel. The inflammation aspect is characterized by the cloning of T cells that appear to be driven by specific antigens to invade muscle fibers. The degeneration aspect is characterized by the appearance of holes in the muscle (vacuoles), deposits of amyloid-related proteins within the cells and filamentous inclusions (hence the name inclusion body myositis) of abnormal proteins.</p>

<p>sIBM is a rare disease, diagnosed in only about 5 people per million, although not much research exists on the number of cases and some doctors feel the numbers are much higher. sIBM is an age-related disease - its incidence increases with age and symptoms usually begin after 50 years of age. Its prevalence rises to about 35 cases per million in people over 50 (Dalakas 2006). It is the most common acquired muscle disorder seen in older people, although about 20% of cases display symptoms before the age of 50. Weakness comes on slowly (over months or years) and progresses steadily and may lead to severe weakness and wasting of arm and leg muscles. It is slightly more common in men than women. Patients may become unable to perform daily living activities and most require assistive devices within 5 to 10 years of symptom onset. sIBM is not considered a fatal disorder - all things being equal, sIBM will not kill you (but the risk of serious injury due to falls is increased). There is no effective treatment for the disease.</p>

Uhm, this is the Capricorn Thread :S, lol But here goes anyways</p>

<p>Quote:<br />
The constellation of Capricorn takes it's name from the Fishatailed goat , Amaltheia, who suckled the Baby Zeus whiel he was hiding from his father Cronos. Later, when he became lord of te s, he took one oftyhe goat's horns. The Horn was called teh Cornucopiam, the fables horn of plenty, said to overflow tih whatever it's owner did desire/. Amaltheia was raised tothe heavens by Zeus as rewarrd for her kindness.</p>

<p>{Bloodgeon!}<br />
Now why is Capricorn an Earth sign? I suspect it's related to the Cornucopia, the old Horn Of Plenty a symbol of successful Harvest, which does require good earth, right? Anyways.. onto the..</p>

(Disclaimer: i am nuts [<br />
Capricorns were the ones who created the word anal<br />
everything is their way or the highway!!!!!<br />
good thing that they actually think but...unfortunately that is where most of them start<br />
the automatic assumption for Cap's is that everyone disagrees and it is hard to shake them from that</p>

<p>Wondrous partners for anyone that will just do what they say the poor Cap's find dissension everywhere<br />
but...to coin a pun<br />
Capricorn's are really good at pointing out reality to everyone even if they don't wanna</p>

<p>Editor's note: Sorry rach but your characteristical purple wasnt showig up I had to add teh rest of your formatting to teh bottom, Carry on.</p>

<p>{Bloodgeon!}<br />
All's Ah gots on thays thang fer may ayz..,<br />
Venus in Capricorn, Reserved but loyal in affections..,<br />
Hmmm.,</p>

<p>Ngilah<br />
Capricorn<br />
The Myth:<br />
The textbooks imply that Capricorns are dreadfully dull. They paint these people as seriously sensible, practical planners who are diligent, dedicated and industrious. Allegedly their only aim in life is to get things together and then hold them there. Nowhere in the summary of this sign is there a mention of spontaneity or imagination.</p>

<p>The Truth:<br />
Statistics prove that, if you were born under Capricorn, you are less likely to believe in astrology. Some think that this is because Capricorns are too \&quot;down to earth\&quot;. Actually though, it's because they don't like the description of their sign. And who can blame them? These ambitious high achievers have better things to do with lives than correct moronic misconceptions. Capricorns may be capable characters but they have plenty of mystery and sensitivity in their souls. They also have plenty of fire in their bellies. These passionate, adventurous and mischievous people also just so happen to be highly intelligent. They can instantly see that if folk want to jump to the wrong conclusion about them, it will only help them run rings round the rest of the human race!</p>

<p>The Key To Success:<br />
If you are a Capricorn, you belong not to the sign of the goat but to the sign of the sea-goat; a mythical creature that represents \&quot;the doorway to another world\&quot;. Remember this and have more faith in the visions and ideas that constantly flood through your busy brain. Believe in yourself, not the nonsense that they speak about your sign.</p>

<p>{Bloodgeon!}<br />
Dont know many capricorns who really give a [&szlig;&ordf;&thorn;] about what others think of them or their sign, but yeah it would help if they laid off a bit with the false presumptions.</p>&quot;

<p>Anyone got any more info or insights. Well I flipped thru this here gigantical book here and could'nt avoid stating the obvious to people, but I'm gona risk it anyways!</p>

<p>*[Proceeding thru life cautiously and methodically, Capricorns seem to have an instinctive awareness of their abilities, which they apply resourcefully in the pursuit of definite goals. When their heads are down little will distract them. However, they may have bouts of depression due to the hard tasks they set themselves, and find it difficult to let off steam.]*</p>&quot;

Gamers<br />
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.<br />
“Those guys are freakin' nuts, if I had a nickel for every one of them I had locked in my basement...” <br />
~ Oscar Wilde on Gamers <br />
"I pity the foo' who plays video games. Somebody help this suckas gettin' a name and a life, or else...!"<br />
~ Jack Thompson on Gamers <br />
Gamers are a very diverse group of Super-humans. They are thought to be cell divisions from the President of the game company Nintendo. While the Gamers are regarded as regular humans, they have amazing talents and abilities. They have been known to be able to play video games for days at a time; occasionally you may hear of one dying while playing games. These Gamers, however, are of a foreign variety and are considered to be oddities even by the Gamers themselves. The Gamers can also live without things that normal people need such as "human interaction","daylight" or Cookies. <br />
(Side Note:) Contrary to popular belief, Gamers will not perish in direct sunlight, but unlike people they can never get a tan, and in rare cases their skin may begin to fry. Although this is prevented with new lead based sun block. <br />
Types of Gamers<br />
While diverse on their own, Gamers decided to spilt into sub-section groups just to confuse you. <br />
The N00b<br />
“Game chat is the latest communication medium to go from decadence to barbarism without passing through comprehensibility in between — the unspeakable in pursuit of the unintelligible.” <br />
~ Oscar Wilde on l33t <br />
"stfu n00b"<br />
~ Mark Twain <br />
The N00b is a Gamer who is either most hated or loved by all other Gamers. N00bs can be accidentally funny and they are easily pwned. <br />
Everyone likes "Pwning N00bs"; therefore, N00bs can be loved. <br />
However, N00bs aren't fully accepted as Gamers and never will be. The goal of every n00b is to be l33t. <br />
This can be acquired through double game training, which can easily cause rapid death. N00bs are the number one resource of Gamers. The N00bs are also known for their incredible luck and "suckiness", but more for the fact that they can display both traits at the same time. <br />
Emo Gamers<br />
“I tried to feed the Emos once, they tried to bite me!” <br />
~ Oscar Wilde on emo feeding <br />
That's right, Emo Gamers exist. <br />
While there are very few and their gaming knowledge and play is solely and strictly limited to Final Fantasy games, they are considered highly specialized experts in this field. Little is known about the actual skill and composition of these Gamers, but it is known that they can be destroyed with heavy doses of sunlight (unlike most Gamers) and with other conventional weapons. <br />
(Side Note:) The Surgeon General recommends decapitating Emos for the betterment of the public's morale. <br />
Most kids who claim to be Emo and are 18 or under will often say that they've played video games and have every damn console made just because they like to the get the attention. <br />
This contributes to their mission as spies from the Liberals. Be wary and wear protection... or fight back. <br />
Foreign Gamers<br />
These Gamers are hated by all other Gamers. Little is known about their cult like-inner circles (this is attributed to the fact that no Gamer has taken the time to learn any language). Foreign Gamers are considered extremely dangerous in the gaming world. They are said to all be from Asia and are constantly accused of "H4x0ring". Foreign Gamers can actually speak other Gamers' languages, but decide not to just to get everyone pissed. If a Foreign Gamer is destroyed in Game-Play by a non-foreign Gamer he must take his mouse/controller and use it to bludgeon himself to death; this can take 5-8 days. The only non-foreign Gamer to own a foreign Gamer is a l33t Gamer. <br />
L33t Gamers<br />
L33t Gamers, like Foreign Gamers, are of the highest caliber of skill. <br />
They are known mainly for: being accused of "H4x0ring", pwning N00bs, pwning, and being Idols to everyone else. They are, however, less known for actually being computers who decide to pwn people out of anger at their overlords. This computer behavior can be explained by "Intel Pentium Processors" which if you look at clearly states on the package that your computer will become disgruntled and homicidal. <br />
This explains why no one actually knows or has seen any L33t Gamers. <br />
Couch Gamers<br />
These Gamers are hardly ever seen, but do exist. Couch Gamers are Gamers that never move from a couch while playing games. In their mid-stages of life a Couch Gamer will have his refrigerator, gaming system, laptop, pee-bucket, and feeding tube centralized around the couch. Mothers have been known to stock, clean, and update all of these items. These Gamers can weigh up to 2,000 pounds and aren't born with legs, making moving from the couch impossible. Most people hate these Gamers because of their lacking social skills; this is a result from never actually, physically speaking to anyone except their mothers. These mothers are closely related to your mom. <br />
Initiatives are going around to kill off these Couch Gamers, mostly because they lack social skills, have no lives, aren't medically possible, and no one likes them. <br />
This is planned to be accomplished through the game DDR. DDR will kill the Couch Gamers using small amount of physical activity, almost any amount of which, it is widely known, can be used to lethal to a Couch Gamer. No one has ever wanted to get close enough to observe a coach gamer due to the defensive odor, and fat layers around them, but it has been cited that they do not lack hands but have lost them within rolls of fat, and therefor they chew on controlers and keyboards to press buttons. The leader of the Couch Gamers is Zan, the largest of them all. No one knows why he is the leader, other than the fact that he threatened to squash the opposition, because he sucks at video games. <br />
(Side Note:) The mere existence of Couch Gamers makes the Surgeon General cry himself to sleep every night. <br />
Part Gamers<br />
These aren't actually part of the Gamer race but are humans that play video games. These "Gamers" have time to do things other than play video games, or participate in video game related activities, in rare cases physical alternate activities. <br />
These are the Gamers that make web-comics, or in much more annoying cases make online diaries of every move that they have every made or ever will make in every video game, and the director's commentary on each of these moves. Full Gamers have been known to feast on these diary writing Gamers and use the bones to pay homage to the game lords who smite Gamers with terrible games like: Bowling for Beandip, Grand Theft Sandwhich, Need for Speed: The Race with No Winner, and Cat Women. <br />
Other<br />
While Gamers mostly play video games they sometimes participate in other activities, such as: <br />
Battle Card Games <br />
Dungeons and Dragons <br />
Being Pale <br />
Not getting it when people aren't talking about games <br />
Misspelling things outside of video games <br />
Being computer experts (in some cases being computers) <br />
Committing suicide after they get viruses <br />
Being Nerds or Geeks <br />
Endlessly talking about games to random people <br />
Getting angry only when people argue that video games make people violent <br />
(and when pwned by a n00b) <br />
Speaking in l33t Speak <br />
Dying alone <br />

<p>Well, I don't believe a lot of that stuff.   Capricorns are supposed to be extremely ambitious, and my only ambition is to have a peaceful life!  So that's what I do.  I make durn sure it's as peaceful as humanly possible.  :D</p>&quot;

<p>Capricorn: The Inner You</p>

<p>You don't need anyone to convince you that life is serious business; you're known it all along. That's what keeps you anxiously asking yourself: Am I fulfilling my responsibilities? Am I achieving as much as I should? Am I self-reliant enough? You know you have the persistence and strength of purpose to reach your goals. But you also have a deep need to connect on an emotional level in your relationships so that you won't feel separated from those you care about. You worry about keeping all that's valuable to you--which includes relationships. Despite your intelligence and the fact that you're so determined, you often feel insecure. You're a bundle of conflicting emotions. You require discipline and order--chaos drives you crazy and makes you doubt yourself and what you're capable of. But maybe the gods meant for you to have some doubt; if you believed you're as powerful as you really are, you'd be impossible to live with!</p>&quot;

<b>Capricorn&rsquo;s Amorous Combinations</b><br />
<br />
<b>Capricorn and Aries</b> They&rsquo;ll get along as lovers, but even in bed there&rsquo;ll be arguments about money, friends, socializing, and who&rsquo;s boss. A major difference is that Capricorn won&rsquo;t make a move unless sure of winning, whereas Aries is completely headstrong and impulsive. Arguments never fade away, for both are strong-willed and aggressive and need to dominate. Jealousy also raises its head as Aries&rsquo;s lively passions stray towards more fun-loving company. Temperamentally and emotionally, this mating is better suited to an arena than to hearth and home.<br />
<br />
<b>Capricorn and Taurus</b> Taurus admires Capricorn&rsquo;s strength of purpose, and Capricorn id delighted with Taurus&rsquo;s affectionate stability. Taurus can get through to aloof, cautious Capricorn and give the encouragement and responsiveness needed. Both have earthy, passionate natures, and sensual Taurus can tap the deep well of romanticism that lies under Capricorn&rsquo;s reserve. Capricorn is loyal and Taurus is devoted, so jealousy is not a problem between these two. In addition, both value money and security and are home-lovers. One union, strong and indivisible.<br />
<br />
<b>Capricorn and Gemini</b> Capricorn will have a hard time holding the reins on excitable, flirtatious, wayward Gemini. All of Capricorn&rsquo;s patience is needed to deal with a partner it considers to be capricious, extravagant, and scatterbrained. Capricorn prizes order and control, and approaches life in a practical, determined manner. Gemini is disorganized, high-strung, and erratic. Also, Gemini&rsquo;s verbal quickness has a way of making Capricorn secretly feel inadequate. Neither is particularly sentimental, so whatever flamelets ignite at the beginning will quickly cool.<br />
<br />
<b>Capricorn and Cancer</b> These two are sexually attracted to each other, but need all the harmony they find in the bedroom to offset the discordance they create everywhere else. Sensitive Cancer will resent Capricorn&rsquo;s domineering manner. Capricorn isn&rsquo;t willing to put up with Cancer&rsquo;s endless emotional demands. Cancer&rsquo;s need for warmth will be frustrated by Capricorn&rsquo;s aloof coolness. Both fear rejection, but Cancer&rsquo;s tendency is to withdraw and Capricorn&rsquo;s is to become tyrannical. These two are zodiac opposites with all that implies.<br />
<br />
<b>Capricorn and Leo</b> Ordered, organized Capricorn neither understands nor approves of Leo&rsquo;s exuberant impulsiveness. Capricorn cannot stand Leo&rsquo;s habit of leaping first and looking afterward. Extroverted Leo will be impatient with Capricorn&rsquo;s secretive tendencies. Capricorn is too reserved to give Leo the adoration it needs, and proud Leo will not give in to Capricorn&rsquo;s domineering ways. Spendthrift Leo adores luxury, while Capricorn puts financial security above all. Also, they both want to rule the bedroom. This uncompromising couple will find their way to a quick ending.<br />
<br />
<b>Capricorn and Virgo</b> Virgo&rsquo;s neat orderly mind meshes well with Capricorn&rsquo;s self-discipline and capacity for hard work. Both take pride in their home, enjoy having a few close friends rather than many acquaintances, and admire each other&rsquo;s intellectual abilities. There&rsquo;s no reason this duo shouldn&rsquo;t click&mdash;except in the bedroom, where Virgo&rsquo;s reticence needs a stronger push than reserved Capricorn likes to give. Neither finds it easy to be spontaneously affectionate. However, this is the only minus entry on a balance sheet full of pluses.<br />
<br />
<b>Capricorn and Libra</b> Capricorn is intrigued by magnetic Libra, and Libra is charmed by Capricorn&rsquo;s slowly revealed passions. But over the long term Libra needs more excitement, romance, and beauty than Capricorn can provide. Capricorn is not oriented toward social and artistic pursuits, which are Libra&rsquo;s favourite activities. Capricorn prizes discipline and responsibility, and finds Libra altogether too frivolous, vain, and self-centered. Libra turns restive and starts to look elsewhere. Throw in some Capricorn jealousy to keep the cauldron bubbling. A recipe for disaster.<br />
<br />
<b>Capricorn and Scorpio</b> Scorpio&rsquo;s powerful sensuality kindles Capricorn&rsquo;s slumbering passions. Scorpio is the more imaginative lover, but Capricorn&rsquo;s stamina is a delightful match. Scorpio&rsquo;s possessiveness spells security to Capricorn. These two work well as a team&mdash;Capricorn is highly organized and Scorpio has native shrewdness. Both prize discipline and accomplishment. Each is strong-willed, and sometimes Scorpio&rsquo;s renowned temper comes up against Capricorn&rsquo;s stubbornness. Their battle will be royal, but so will their makings-up.<br />
<br />
<b>Capricorn and Sagittarius</b> Capricorn is cheered by optimistic Sagittarius, and Sagittarius is intrigued by Capricorn&rsquo;s depth and self-containment. All too soon, though, Capricorn becomes annoyed by Sagittarius&rsquo;s fickle attitude and total need for freedom without strings. Capricorn senses that it cannot count on Sagittarius&rsquo;s loyalty through thick and thin, and is frustrated by Sagittarius&rsquo;s nonchalance in love. Also, Sagittarius is impetuous and has free-and-easy spending habits, while Capricorn is serious-minded and a stay-at-home. The tied that bind are soon cut.<br />
<br />
<b>Capricorn and Capricorn</b> Capricorns approve of people like themselves, so with these two there&rsquo;s no lack of mutual respect and regard. Both are cautious, reserved personalities who work hard and love to save money. But even compatibility can sometimes be dull. They&rsquo;re well matched sexually, but in other areas they encourage each other&rsquo;s tendencies to be gloomy and pessimistic. Neither one can relax or let down its hair. As partners they&rsquo;re okay, but not too much fun. Love travels an almost imperceptibly downhill road.<br />
<br />
<b>Capricorn and Aquarius</b> Capricorn finds Aquarius too unpredictable, and Aquarius&rsquo;s impersonal attitude makes Capricorn uneasy. Capricorn&rsquo;s conventional approach quickly irritates adventuresome Aquarius. Aquarius believes in self-expression; Capricorn believes is self-discipline. Aquarius is somewhat a rover, while Capricorn prefers home and hearth. Freedom-loving Aquarius won&rsquo;t stay bound for long to earnest, staid Capricorn. However, they should like each other, and love can turn into friendship.<br />
<br />
<b>Capricorn and Pisces</b> Capricorn provides balance for Pisces&rsquo;s drifting dreaminess and supplies the stability that Pisces needs and admires. And there&rsquo;s nothing Capricorn likes better than being admired. Capricorn is the boudoir captain, but Pisces is a willing crew. Pisces&rsquo;s taste for the bizarre may even influence Capricorn&rsquo;s conventional passions. Pisces&rsquo;s generous affections and Capricorn&rsquo;s strong sense of loyalty combine to make each feel safe and protected. These very different people meet each other&rsquo;s needs.<div class="sig"></div>&quot;

<p>You could name off quite a few cappies, to be sure, but there have't been many around in my time here. And I must point out that there have been little to no Aquarians besides myself.

Which signs are the best driver&rdquo;s?  And the worst?</p>

<p>By  Nancy R. Fenn</p>

<p>Please don't shoot the messenger, but Suncorp Metway, Ltd., a multi-faceted Australian Financial Service, ranked car accident claimants by Sun sign in a study of 160,000 accident claims over the previous three-year period. This is what they found.</p>

<p>Restless Geminis Behind the Wheel<br />
The number one worst drivers were Geminis, \&quot;typically described as restless, easily bored and frustrated by things moving slowly,\&quot; explained Warren Duke, Suncorp's national manager of personal insurance. \&quot;They had more car accidents than any other sign.\&quot;</p>

<p>No astrologer would argue with that description of the sign of the Twins and probably this isn't very surprising news. But what about the other signs?</p>

<p>According to a news release dated February 10, 2002, Duke said the study was carried out as part of Suncorp's annual review of claims. \&quot;We always look for trends in claims to see if there are ways to reduce our pricing, but there is no intention to introduce astrology as a rating factor for motor insurance,\&quot; he said.</p>

<p>Second and third place holders for this dubious honor are Taurus and Pisces. \&quot;Taureans were thought to be obstinate and inflexible, \&quot;said Duke,\&quot; while Pisceans could be risk-takers and daredevils.\&quot;</p>

<p>Your personal astrologer would offer other explanations. First Taurus. Yes, Taureans can be obstinate and inflexible, but they are also the most introverted and self absorbed of all the signs. Their natural path in life is to think about their own body&mdash;its immediate comfort and needs&mdash;and to deal with only the most tangible and immediate of realities. Their thinking as drivers may run like this. My stomach is full, the temperature in the car is pretty good, the noise level is good, I'm riding right at 60, I don't have to use the bathroom for at least another hour and there's plenty of gas in the tank. At a very fundamental level, the world outside the chassis of their car may not exist at all. Since freeway driving requires spatial perception and processing of much abstract information (speed, flow and distance), this is counter to their natural way of processing the world around them.</p>

<p>Pisces the Daredevil?</p>

<p>Pisces, in the number three position, is the other sign that lives in a world of its own. Duke describes them as potential risk takers and daredevils. However, there are other signs we would nominate much more readily for a description like this. </p>

<p>Pisceans are the gentle dreamers of the zodiac. They may spend many hours a day in fantasy worlds, escaping the painful realities of life on the physical plane and, more often than not, the pain of being in a physical body. They often experience the whole manifest world as an illusion and their presence in it as temporary and of little importance.</p>

<p>This Piscean detachment from the physical can lead to unconscious feelings of invulnerability or invincibility, also to unconscious feelings of victimization and sacrifice. If you are momentarily deluded into thinking you don't have physical limits, and that your life is but a fleeting moment in the eternal life of the soul, you can respond to situations of physical danger in illogical ways. Or, at the very least, be slow on the uptake.</p>

<p>Please don't take these descriptions as critical. The qualities of Taurus and Pisces are invaluable in their proper spheres of influence. Astrology is not a critical tool. It is a tool of enlightenment. Something you read here and become conscious about may save your life.</p>

<p>Duke continues, \&quot;Capricorns, who came last on the list, are typically described as patient and careful.\&quot;</p>

<p>No argument with that from the professional astrologer. It's no surprise Caps are the safest behind the wheel. They're the safest at everything! Their patience and sense of responsibility are legendary. Imagine the thrill I felt in the passenger seat when I divorced my Gemini husband and began dating a Capricorn.</p>

<p>The great middle ground of this survey is held by Sun signs in this order:</p>

<p>4. Virgo<br />
5. Cancer<br />
6. Aquarius<br />
7. Aries<br />
8. Leo<br />
9. Libra<br />
10. Sagittarius<br />
11. Scorpio [and Capricorn in last position as the best drivers]</p>

<p>Is this what you would have expected? There is something else fascinating about this list.</p>

<p>The folks at SunCorp would have no way of knowing it, but Capricorn to the side, the signs in the last two positions and first two positions are the exact opposite. This tells us a great deal about polarities, doesn't it? Scorpio is opposite Taurus and Sagittarius is opposite Gemini.</p>

<p>Sagittarians may stay safe in their cars the same way they do in life, by having superbly developed higher minds. Another name for this mind is intuition. The highly developed sense of flow and good timing characteristic of Sagittarians is what makes them the lucky sign. Furthermore, their minds are right at home dealing with traffic patterns, flow and spatial relations.</p>

<p>Scorpios, on the other hand, may stay safe because they are intimately involved with the inner lives of others in the same way their opposite sign Taurus is defended against this information. Scorpios are sensitive to energy&mdash; whether it is a foot away or thousands of miles away&mdash;and can feel someone \&quot;coming up from behind\&quot; at many different levels. Scorpios know if you've had a fight with your wife the night before or if you're thinking about embezzling or having an affair with your best friend's husband. That's why we always feel like they can see right through us. They can.</p>

<p>Scorpios would be the drivers who would instinctively \&quot;wake up\&quot; in time to let a cocaine addict pass them at 95 or give a wide berth to a passive aggressive soccer mom hassling two kids in the back seat and a phone conversation with her husband all at the same time.</p>

<p>Where does your sign fall in this survey? Whatever your Sun sign, let's all learn from this survey and be safe on the road.</p>

<p>Are Taureans Better Drivers Than Librans?</p>

<p>Ahhh...the answer is finally upon us to the ever-present, ultra-important question: does your astrological sign determine whether you're a good driver?</p>

<p>Umm...maybe?</p>

<p>Reuters recently reported on a study released by Australian financial services group Suncorp Metway Ltd that ranked car accident claimants by star sign. It found the most accident-prone were Geminis, no surprise if one believes the typical description of a Gemini as restless and impatient.</p>

<p>The study indicated Capricorns were the safest behind the wheel due to their patience and careful driving.</p>

<p>The study was based on 160,000 car accident insurance claims received over the past three years.</p>

<p>Suncorp Metway told Reuters it would not change premiums to reflect a person's star sign.</p>

<p>The company listed car accident claims by star sign as follows, with the most accident-prone at the top:<br />
1. Gemini, May 21-June 21<br />
2. Taurus, April 20-May 20<br />
3. Pisces, February 19-March 20<br />
4. Virgo, August 23-September 22<br />
5. Cancer, June 22-July 22<br />
6. Aquarius, January 20-February 18<br />
7. Aries, March 21-April 19<br />
8. Leo, July 23-August 22<br />
9. Libra, September 23-October 22<br />
10. Sagittarius, November 22-December 21<br />
11. Scorpio, October 23-November 21<br />
12. Capricorn, December 22-January 19</p>

<p>*Scorpio Driving Tales,</p>

<p>How does this ScorpLeoLeo sign drive? He had a big black van, tinted windows, sinister chrome hubs, unabashed decepticon symbol decal on the back window. A starlit night, a windy snaking back country road, and the local drunk wino stumbling around on his way back home from throughly pickling his tiny brains out. I smiled, and shut off the headlights, knowing I was then seeing by starlight, and in the back of my mind remembering normal people can't do this. I rounded the bend and blasted past him laughing, I did indeed scare the shingles outta him, but this is what he gets for breaking into my van and stealing the beers I had in there. The next morning the predicted, but still funny story of the poor guy was walking along the road then suddenly all was wind and sound with laughter and taillights to tell him what had happened. Scorpios are good drivers, but when they're bad, they're eeevil, lol.*</p>&quot;

<p>Minotaurus: Lost but determined, wandering the underground mazes, this Lava sign originates from underground lava tubes giving it a \&quot;tunnel-vision\&quot; but it's not all that bad being this sign! They don't stop until they've met their objectives or a person with good taste, because like regular Taurus, they're great chefs, yes, they cook humans! lol</p>

<p>hey, no worries... i've got lots more... &lt;grins&gt; feelin' kinda fond of my crazy little sign here...</p>

<p>Aquarius' most likeable trait: FRIENDLINESS</p>

<p>Astrologers are quite fond of this eleventh sign of the zodiac, for Aquarius is the sign of the future, of the visionary, some say of astrology itself. Aquarians are unorthodox, original people-sort of wacky, witty madcaps who refuse to follow the crowd and go their own way.</p>

<p>blahblahblah...</p>

<p>... refuse to compromise or give an inch. ...strange mix of an avant-garde thinker whose opinions are written in stone. ...cheerfully ignore what others think and strike off on new paths, unbound by precedent...so many more exciting things...</p>

<p>some stuff about ego... yeah... grand stuff... btw, i get all this from a book on astrology called \&quot;The Only Astrology Book You'll Ever Need\&quot; by Joanna Woolfolk... it's a great book... excellent place to get started, tells ya how to draw your own charts and everything! not too great for angles and aspect type stuff, but still good!</p>

<p>BUT, i have seen only ONE typo in this whole book, and it was in a section concerning aquarian suns... totally insulted by that... totally deflated my enormous ego... but i'm not supposed to be the kind of person to lash out and others... i'm nice...  :)</p>&quot;

<p>oi, i could go on and on forever about this stuff... until i'm bored of it... got some info on the legend behind Aquarius...</p>

<p>The eleventh sign of the zodiac has as its symbol the Water Bearer, a human figure carrying a jar or receptacle from which water pours into a stream.</p>

<p>The symbol of the water bearer goes back to both Egyptian and Babylonian religion. In Egypt the Water Bearer was the god Hap, the personification of the river Nile. Hap carried two vases of water, which represented both the South and North Nile, and was considered the sustainer of life. All living things would die without the waters of Hap.</p>

<p>In Greek literature the constellation of Aquarius was called the Water Pourer, and is cometimes thought to represent the god Jupiter, who at a command caused the waters to pour from heaven. It also commemorates Deucalion, the only man to come through the Great Flood unharmed.</p>

<p>At the beginning of creation, gods and men lived in harmony during an era called the Golden Age. The earth produced food without man having to till the soil; the waters flowed with wine and honey. Then Pandora opened her box of evils, and plagues and sickness of the mind and body were released on Earth.</p>

<p>... boring anybody yet? i'm boring myself... the rest of the page doesn't seem to have a whole lot to do with Aquarius... not an overly interesting sign really... how disappointing... i did say i have a capricorn ascendant, right?</p>

<p>just some info for any other aquarians then... should interest somebody, right? right??!</p>&quot;

<p>okay, okay... i've got a joke... not a very nice joke, dunno if i'm even allowed to post this kind of stuff, but you are forewarned...</p>

<p>DISCLAIMER: i am Canadian, and therefore think jokes slamming Americans are pretty funny, as I'm sure all you Americans think jokes making fun of Canadians are funny... this joke is in no way meant to be offensive or discriminatory towards Americans... it's just a joke! if you are angered by this joke and feel the need to retaliate, please feel welcome to do so... we Canadians do not take offense easily! (at least most don't...) if you feel you may be offended by anti-American jokes, DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER!</p>

<p>DISCLAIMER CONT'D: the following joke is pretty gross too, and i really, REALLY suggest anybody who may take offense to those immature adolescent jokes to not read any further... this is your final warning... if you do read this joke, remember, YOU WERE WARNED!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Breakfast at Tim Hortons</p>

<p>A Canadian man was having coffee and croissants with butter and jam in a Tim Horton's, when an American man, chewing gum, sat down next to him.</p>

<p>The Canadian man ignored the American, who, nevertheless started up a conversation. The American snapped his gum and said, \&quot;You Canadian folk eat the whole bread?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;Of course.\&quot;</p>

<p>The American blew a huge bubble. \&quot;We don't. In the States, we only eat what's inside. The crusts we collect in a big container, recycle them, transform them into croissants and sell them to Canada.\&quot;</p>

<p>The American had a smirk on his face.</p>

<p>The Canadian listened in silence.</p>

<p>The American persisted. \&quot;Do ya eat jelly with the bread?\&quot;</p>

<p>Sighing, the Canadian replied, \&quot;Of course.\&quot;</p>

<p>Cracking his gum between his teeth, the American said, \&quot;We don't. In the States, we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, then we put all the peels, seeds and leftovers in containers, recycle them, transform them into jam and sell it to Canada.\&quot;</p>

<p>The Canadian then asked, \&quot;Do you have sex in the States?\&quot;</p>

<p>The American smiled and said, \&quot;Why of course we do.\&quot;</p>

<p>The Canadian leaned closer to him and asked, \&quot;And what do you do with the condoms once you've used them?\&quot;</p>

<p>\&quot;We throw them away, of course,\&quot; said the American.</p>

<p>Now it was the Canadian's turn to smile. \&quot;We don't. In Canada, we put them in a container, recycle them, melt them down into chewing gum, and sell them to the United States.\&quot;</p>&quot;

<p>*All cappies, yes, this includes Zag's new phorms, lol. A few more notables I remember were MsDemeanour, from Australia as well, and... damn maybe a few others. I never kept charts on anyone but myself, selfabsorbed as I am.</p>

<p>{Aquarians do NOT like showing their real feelings. An independent nature also means tha tthey take their time and settle into steady relationships. The find it hard to build up trust but will remain very faithful once a relationship is established.}</p>

<p>There's more to this, but I don't wanna Grill anyone that much today, lol.*</p>&quot;

<p>hmm, i've heard also a lot that aquarians kind of don't find many good relationships. something about loving with the head, not with the heart... bleck, i've been told, point blank, by a SAGITTARIUS (who thinks that she's a CAPRICORN) that i'll live my entire life alone! she, who thinks she has found the love her life, and got engaged to, at 17. yeah, and it's probably possible enough too!</p>

<p>how's this for lacking emotion?! for not showing feelings! &lt;blubbers like a baby!!&gt; lol! nahs, i'm jus jokin. &lt;sniffles a little bit though&gt; teehee. it's all lies! shannigans!</p>&quot;

<p>*Do not let anyone ever tell ya astrologically, love is impossible. I have Venus in Capricorn, and Saturn in Cancer, supposedly makes me icy and distant? Wrongo! I'm such a whipped kicked puppy in relationships loyal to all the wrong women for all the wrong reasons, but point is as long as you're capable of love, there's always gonna be love out there for you.</p>

<p>HEY! i'm Aquarian too!</p>

<p>everybody wants to know the inner Aquarian, so here it is!</p>

<p>The most frequent question you ask is \&quot;Why?\&quot; You want to understand what makes other people tick. Their lives fascinate you because you hope they will offer you insights into your own. -- (all very true, of course. i love to hear about myself!) -- You have plenty of love to give, and you want nothing more than to have lots of interesting friends, a wonderful love relationship, fulfilling work, and for the world to be a better place and everyone to be happy. Not much to ask, is it? One of your best-kept secrets -- (oh my!) -- is how shy and insecure you are. You wonder if the people you care about feel the same way about you--this is why you work so hard to make others like you. You want to share yourself, but are afraid of losing who you are or becoming what other people think you should be. Yet somehow your feelings of insecurity manage to coexist with a belief that you are someone special. -- (YAY! i'm special!)</p>&quot;

 	<br />
<b>Aquarius&rsquo;s Amorous Combinations</b><br />
<br />
<b>Aquarius and Aries</b> They&rsquo;ll enjoy plenty of fun and frolicking, Aquarius&rsquo;s imaginativeness meshes well with Aries&rsquo;s forcefulness. Sexually, Aries&rsquo;s passion inspires Aquarius&rsquo;s originality. They won&rsquo;t try to tie each other down, for each understands the other&rsquo;s need for freedom, adventure, and outside interests. Neither likes to be dominated, however, and Aries <i>must</i> take the lead. If this problem can be worked out satisfactorily, the track is clear ahead as far as anyone can see.<br />
<br />
<b>Aquarius and Taurus</b> Aquarius&rsquo;s careless attitude toward love will baffle and finally enrage highly passionate Taurus, who doesn&rsquo;t want someone just to play with. Taurus&rsquo;s possessiveness and jealousy make Aquarius anxious to pack a suitcase and go. Aquarius loves to wander anyway, while Taurus loves home. These two are stubborn in very different ways: Aquarius refuses to be conventional, while Taurus rigidly adheres to the values of family and security. Aquarius is interested in humane concerns; Taurus is single-minded about itself and its possessions. And so on and on.<br />
<br />
<b>Aquarius and Gemini</b> Gemini is willing to go along with Aquarius&rsquo;s taste for experiment. In addition, Aquarius calms down Gemini&rsquo;s flightiness and is a stabilizing influence. They enjoy each other&rsquo;s quick, intelligent minds and will have fascinating conversations about people, ideas, and places. Both desire harmony and companionship with not a lot of emotional <i>Sturm und Drang</i>. They love to socialize, they have a wide range of outside activities, and neither is particularly jealous or proprietary. They&rsquo;ll be fine bedmates and fascinating friends.<br />
<br />
<b>Aquarius and Cancer</b> Aquarius bristles at Cancer&rsquo;s possessiveness and can&rsquo;t understand why Cancer won&rsquo;t hang loose. Aquarius is careless and free with affection, making sensitive Cancer feel neglected and rejected. Aquarius hates Cancer&rsquo;s clinging restrictiveness and complaining, which stem fro, Cancer&rsquo;s constant need for proofs of love. Cancer wants a safe, secure home, but Aquarius needs a very flexible living arrangement. Cancer wants Aquarius to stay, but soon Aquarius is inclined to wander away.<br />
<br />
<b>Aquarius and Leo</b> Leo is delighted by Aquarius&rsquo;s sexual inventiveness, and Aquarius is drawn to Leo&rsquo;s fire and robust zest for living. These two opposites in the zodiac start off on a high note, but then the notes go sour. Basically, Leo is physical and Aquarius is mental. Leo can&rsquo;t get the cooperation or the admiration it requires, and Aquarius resents Leo&rsquo;s attempt to rule. They have different views of independence: to Aquarius it means freedom to explore new horizons; to Leo it means pursuing a glamorous, extravagant lifestyle. Aquarius is interested in the world; Leo is strictly interested in Leo.<br />
<br />
<b>Aquarius and Virgo</b> Both are mental signs rather than emotional, but Virgo looks on the darker side of life while Aquarius is imaginative and optimistic. Aquarius needs activity, social events, a wide circle of acquaintances. Virgo enjoys a quiet existence with a few close friends. Their goals are very different; Virgo wants to be as efficient as possible. They&rsquo;re compatible intellectually but won&rsquo;t celebrate many anniversaries.<br />
<br />
<b>Aquarius and Libra</b> Warm, sensual Libra joins with enthusiasm in Aquarius erotic fun and games. Also, diplomatic Libra knows just how to get around Aquarius&rsquo;s quirky stubborn streak. They like the way each other&rsquo;s minds work and share interests in music, theater, and the arts. Both love parties and other people and have numerous projects in common. There won&rsquo;t be arguments about who leads and who follows because they are both great egalitarians. This should be a lovely affair, but for the long term <i>someone</i> will have to settle down.<br />
<br />
<b>Aquarius and Scorpio</b> Fueled by Scorpio&rsquo;s volatility and Aquarius&rsquo;s imaginativeness, sex is quite out of the ordinary. But Aquarius is turned off by Scorpio&rsquo;s powerful and jealous passions, and Scorpio is upset by Aquarius&rsquo;s unpredictable moods. Aquarius is looking for a companion in adventure, whereas Scorpio wants a committed consort. Aquarius is aloof, unemotional, and restless; Scorpio is demanding, critical, and intensely possessive. Aquarius starts looking for happiness outside the home and might as well keep on traveling.<br />
<br />
<b>Aquarius and Sagittarius</b> These two are so innovative about lovemaking that they ought to charge admission. In addition, they inspire each other intellectually, for Aquarius has far-out inventive ideas and Sagittarius is optimistic and visionary. Aquarius can be dogmatic in its libertarian views, but that doesn&rsquo;t bother live-and-let-live Sagittarius. Both are highly social, fun-loving creatures who like people, seeing new places, and whatever is unpredictable. The best part is that neither one is jealous when the other isn&rsquo;t home.<br />
<br />
<b>Aquarius and Capricorn</b> Both signs have a strong sense of self, but Aquarius wants to be free and Capricorn wants to dominate. Aquarius has a great many opinions about everything and welcomes neither advice nor orders from rigid Capricorn. Aquarius is continually on the go and likes to spend money. Capricorn considers this frivolous and tries to impose strict controls. Capricorn is cautious, solid, and straightforward, and doesn&rsquo;t understand Aquarius&rsquo;s adventurous ideas. A brief rapport at best before boredom sets in and damps the fire.<br />
<br />
<b>Aquarius and Aquarius</b> They admire and like each other and especially enjoy each other&rsquo;s sense of humour. Inventive, progressive, attracted to the new and unusual, they are sexually suited and share wide-ranging interests. Each is involved in all kinds of projects and friendships. With so many outside activities going, they are likely to be apart as much as they are together and that&rsquo;s fine with them. They haven&rsquo;t a thing to quarrel about since they agree on everything: Both of them are much more rational than emotional. Their love won&rsquo;t be as deep as a well, but it will draw water.<br />
<br />
<b>Aquarius and Pisces</b> Aquarius is intrigued by Pisces&rsquo;s romantic charm, and Pisces is drawn to Aquarius&rsquo;s visionary ideals. Sensual, imaginative Pisces will go along with anything Aquarius wants, and they achieve as unusual intimacy. However, things begin to go downhill as Pisces insists on more and more testaments of love. Dependent, indecisive Pisces needs someone strong to take control. Aquarius shuns <i>any</i> kind of emotional demands. When Aquarius feels hemmed in by that all-enveloping Piscean web, it will struggle free and go its own way.<div class="sig"></div>&quot;

<p>I have several astrology books, but they're big and somehow don't fit on my nicely junked up desk. My mom bought me a couple more books for Shmistmas. I was thinking, like, yeaaaahhh... Not so much of an interest anymore, hello? Ahahaha. Er, yeah. I only ever use one of the books. It was the only one I asked for, and I was very, very specific. The rest of them are, like, junk. But I have them, nonetheless. Maybe some day I will read them.</p>&quot;

<p>Ngilah The Myth: Pisceans, so the story goes, are wistful, whimsical, misty-eyed dreamers who live in a cloud cuckoo land. It is said that they simply do not possess the power of rational thought because they are creatures entirely of instinct. They are supposed to be unreliable, easily influenced by others and helplessly fond of drugs and alcohol.The Truth: Absolutely not. There is no evidence to suggest that people born under this sign have a higher than normal tendency to indulge in mind altering substances. There is though, every suggestion that Pisceans are acutely intelligent people with an amazing ability to solve complex problems. Pisceans, generally, have excellent concentration and impressive powers of deduction. The misapprehension comes about because most people born under this sign are blessed with open minds. They will listen to most arguments, consider most possibilities and explore most suggestions. They are imaginative too and this quality always irritates the people who do not possess the ability to conjure up creative ideas.The Key To Success: To be a Piscean is to have an instinctive, unerring sense of the possible - and the impossible. It is to amble easily around the border territory between the two states and make magic happen as a result. If you want more success, the secret is simple. Ignore those critics who are too stupid to appreciate the breadth of your vision.</p>

<p>{Bloodgeon!} That there is a much better assesment for Pisceans.They cant ALL be raving psychic psychedelics, y'know. andWhoever said isces had the monopoly on that anyways, I'm sure we're all a little fishy here and there...,</p>&quot;

&quot;65&quot;;&quot;126&quot;;&quot;<p>Diastasis recti<br />
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<br />
Jump to: navigation, search<br />
Diastasis recti is a disorder defined as a separation of the rectus abdominis muscle into right and left halves. [1] Normally, the two sides of the muscle are joined at the linea alba at the midline. Diastasis of this muscle occurs principally in two populations: newborns and pregnant women. In the newborn, the rectus abdominis is not fully developed and may not be sealed together at midline. Diastasis recti is more common in premature and African American newborns. In pregnant or postpartum women, the defect is caused by the stretching of the rectus abdominis by the growing uterus. It is more common in multiparous women due to repeated episodes of stretching. When the defect occurs during pregnancy, the uterus can sometimes be seen bulging through the abdominal wall beneath the skin. [2]<br />
A diastasis recti appears as a ridge running down the midline of the abdomen from the xiphoid process to the umbilicus. It becomes more prominent with straining and may disappear when the abdominal muscles are relaxed. The medial borders of the right and left halves of the muscle may be palpated during relaxation. [3] The condition can be diagnosed by physical exam, and a ventral hernia may be ruled out using ultrasound.<br />
No treatment is necessary for women while they are still pregnant. Complications include development of an umbilical or ventral hernia in children, which is rare and can be corrected with surgery. [4]<br />

<p>You absorb impressions, images, and emotions from everything around you, and then filter them through your rose-coloured view of how you'd like things to be. This is not to say you cannot deal with reality--it's just that you like to think of life as an ultraromantic movie filled with happy endings and where everyone has the best possible motives. You're a big bundle of feelings. You feel intense joy and happiness when you're involved in a creative project or a loving relationship. The opposite is also true: you can suffer greater depths of sadness than most. Yet you're tougher than most people think. Push you down and you keep bouncing back like a rubber bathtub toy. You're charged with energy and get caught up in what's going on around you. Your greatest strength is in giving to others; you're always ready to help whoever needs you.</p>&quot;

<b>Pisces’s Amorous Combinations</b><br />
<br />
<b>Pisces and Aries</b> Sensual Pisces is drawn to Aries’s dynamic passions, and Pisces’s desire to shower affection on a lover will flatter Aries. Pisces’s imagination and mysterious allure bring out a new sensitivity and romanticism in this aggressive lover. Aries will handle decisions and fight battles for Pisces, which is just what Pisces is looking for. Headstrong Aries will dominate, but that doesn’t necessarily displease Pisces, who likes to have someone to lean on. What may trouble Pisces more is Aries’s tendency to criticize. Tact is needed to cement this otherwise sexy partnership.<br />
<br />
<b>Pisces and Taurus</b> Taurus is a strong, authoritative figure who can provide security and stability for vacillating Pisces. Also, Taurus’s artistic bent enhances Pisces’s creative imagination. Pisces will accentuate Taurus’s taste for comfort, and together they’ll furnish a luxurious setting for love. Both are highly passionate and sensual, although Pisces is volatile and more emotional than Taurus. While Taurus’s possessiveness makes Pisces feel secure, Taurus is a bit too practical and down-to-earth to satisfy Pisces’s romantic nature. If they work out this problem, all goes well.<br />
<br />
<b>Pisces and Gemini</b> Pisces is drawn by Gemini’s wit and communicativeness, and Gemini is fascinated by Pisces’s mystery. But this combination is as unstable as nitroglycerin—and likely to blow up. Pisces can’t stand Gemini’s fickleness and thoughtlessness. Gemini can’t stand Pisces’s emotionalism and dreaminess. Insecure Pisces is possessive and clinging, while Gemini wants to have fun and move on. In different ways, each is as shifting and changeable as the other. Pisces lacks direction, while Gemini goes off in too many directions. Both need more dominant partners.<br />
<br />
<b>Pisces and Cancer</b> Pisces enjoys Cancer’s sexual demands, for Cancer is equally sensual. This romantic duo finds passion, sensitivity, and tenderness in each other. Pisces doesn’t mind if Cancer makes most of the decisions; Cancer’s concern for security and excellent money sense provide a very practical stability. These two are sentimental types who like to stick close to home. Loyal Cancer devotes itself exclusively to insecure Pisces, and, in turn, Pisces idolizes Cancer. A very compatible pair.<br />
<br />
<b>Pisces and Leo</b> Pisces’s tendency to think rather than act annoys Leo, who considers Pisces wishy-washy. These two are very unalike: Pisces is shy, introverted, and vulnerable, while Leo is arrogant, brash, and domineering. Both behave emotionally, but Leo is given to temperamental outbursts while Pisces withdraws into private fantasy. Leo won’t tolerate Pisces’s sensitivity and dreaminess. Highly social Leo needs lots of feedback, while Pisces demands exclusivity. Leo likes to roam; Pisces doesn’t. This combination is like fire and water—they won’t mix.<br />
<br />
<b>Pisces and Virgo</b> Pisces’s affectionate nature intrigues Virgo at first, but there two personalities are just too opposite for any rapport. Virgo, being a mental sign, distrusts emotions, whereas Pisces runs its life emotionally rather than intellectually. Reserved, fault-finding Virgo won’t satisfy sexually, and when Virgo’s sexual rebuffs start, this awakens all the Piscean insecurities. Virgo also can’t give Pisces the romance or ego-bolstering Pisces needs, and Pisces proves to be too unstable for exacting Virgo. Virgo will resent Pisces’s dependency. This soon becomes a toboggan to nowhere.<br />
<br />
<b>Pisces and Libra</b> These affectionate, creative, artistic people take to each other immediately. But Pisces is looking for emotional support, and won’t find that with Libra. Libra wants romance and harmony, but flees from the responsibility of any kind of demands or entanglements. They both like luxury and a lovely home, but Pisces is too lazy about making money and Libra is too extravagant about spending it. Libra has numerous outside interests and feels stifled by Pisces. Physical rapport isn’t enough for the long term. But as long as it lasts, this is likely to be fun.<br />
<br />
<b>Pisces and Scorpio</b> Pisces finds its match here—and then some. Scorpio will provide a deep, exciting sexual union for Pisces, and gives Pisces valuable emotional support, strength, and leadership. Scorpio’s jealousy and possessiveness won’t bother Pisces—in fact, it makes Pisces feel loved. Pisces’s dependency is just what Scorpio is looking for. These two share a special communion, much of it on a sensual, unspoken level. Both have intense feelings and are loyal, intuitive, and interested in the mystical and the unusual. An ideal mating.<br />
<br />
<b>Pisces and Sagittarius</b> These two ignite in the bedroom, but the compatibility ends there. Pisces is an imaginative dreamer, not a doer, whereas Sagittarius thrives on constant activity. Independent Sagittarius is too much of a rover to satisfy Pisces’s need for attention and devotion. Sagittarius’s sharp tongue will hurt Pisces’s romantic sensibilities. Pisces wants to get close but is constantly confused and rebuffed by Sagittarius’s struggle to free itself of the heavy emotional demands. Pisces is dependent and home-loving, but restless, adventuresome Sagittarius won’t stay home long.<br />
<br />
<b>Pisces and Capricorn</b> These two very different people please each other. Capricorn’s strong, dominant personality is just what Pisces needs. Pisces feels secure with practical, determined Capricorn, who can take charge and make decisions. In turn, Pisces brings a breath of romance and idealism to Capricorn’s staid approach to like, and Pisces’s lavishness with praise and affection delights Capricorn. Capricorn does not easily verbalize its deep feelings, but Pisces intuitively recognizes Capricorn’s loyalty and passion. Sex is fine, and this contrasting temperaments neatly complement each other.<br />
<br />
<b>Pisces and Aquarius</b> Pisces’s romantic eroticism inspires Aquarius to experiment in new areas. Sexually, this might be fun since they are both venturesome in entirely different ways. But Aquarius is detached, interested in ideas and the world at large, while Pisces is interested in sensual fulfillment. Eventually, outgoing, social-minded Aquarius will start looking around, and Pisces can’t endure that. Independent Aquarius needs freedom and after a while resents Pisces’s struggle to keep Aquarius caged at home.<br />
<br />
<b>Pisces and Pisces</b> If all life’s problems could be resolved in the bedroom, they’d be happy, but both need what the other does not have. Each is weak-willed and dependent and drains the other emotionally. Both have a tendency to sink into a mire of self-pity and negativity, and they accentuate each other’s confusion, self-indulgence, and muddled thinking. They find it hard to cope with practical realities, and there’s no strong partner around to push either one in the right direction. This sexy affair has no place to go.&quot;

<p>okay, usually crazy in a cool way... but... cool in a crazy way really does seem to better describe her. USUALLY! today she was runnin' her mouth on the telephone with the mother creature while I was impatiently waiting to get online. and I KNOW that she does it on purpose! she thinks that she's being pretty sly, thinking nobody has caught on to the fact that she's EVERYBODY'S best friend, grrr. lol. she does it to everybody... all of these conspiratorial discussions behind the backs of those targetted, just to make one person feel that they're a one of a kind chum, making others suffer! what a fiend! lol.</p>

<p>Hi Aqrn ~</p>

<p>Wow! Being pisces myself, I can really relate to what you are saying here...YES, makes plenty of sense, and I applaud your keen sense of observation (I think, lol).</p>

<p>Hey, if I may, I might be able to lend further insight on something you've managed to hit upon concerning the pisceian relationship to \&quot;relationship\&quot; so to speak.</p>

<p>While it may appear to the observer that pisces individuals often conspire with others about others, this may not be exactly what is occurring (of course the possibility always exists that this IS EXACTLY what is occurring...lol). If the pisces person seems to be \&quot;everybody's best friend\&quot; well, that's because oftentimes (s)he is!<br />
And this happens not because of an inherent need to be, but because of their natural inclination toward equanimous behavior. Like it or not, generally speaking, pisces folk either genuinely enjoy people (go figure!) and they feel a sense of ease and fairness in treating most ppl with equal amounts of affection, time, loyalty, etc. OR they feel as though they have little use for them at all. In other words, if they do happen to enjoy the company of others, they may not \&quot;play favorites\&quot; very well...and this may actually serve to downright piss some ppl off, while for others, it's cool, and very much appreciated.</p>

<p>So, because of the pisces ability to \&quot;become\&quot; sorta like whomever they are with, they may overcompensate at times, trying to \&quot;play favorites\&quot; BUT only when they feel it is expected; and this not being an easy thing for them to do, they ultimately end up doing it exceptionally poorly...lol...whoa baby, and that's an understatement!<br />
BUT (and this may not be very well understood or documented amongst astrologers) they also have a need for diverse friendships. Because of their highly developed imaginations, they can quickly tire of \&quot;the expected\&quot; and the predictable.</p>

<p>Yeah, if they DO drink, it's usually because they are bored outta their gills!) (You buying any of this??? lol...well good....need a drink yet??!!). No, but seriously &lt;pops the cork on the cham-pan-ya&gt; I've looked at quite a few pisces charts (or charts that have a strong 12th house, pisces on the 11th or 1st and/or other dominant neptunian qualities) and have seen this same thing going on over and over again.</p>

<p>So, Aqrn, cut your aunt some slack...lol. The \&quot;dustbin of the zodiac\&quot; has it rough enough already!?! &lt;smile&gt; Either let her know how very much you appreciate her NOT playing favorites (as this is really far more natural and easy for her to do) or suffer the consequences.</p>

<p>But either way, if you never pass up an opportunity to tell her that she has \&quot;awesome feet\&quot;....she'll no doubt remember to treat you very, very well at Christmas! Hope I've helped..lol. ;-)</p>

<p>~ Everything I say can be fully substantiated by my own opinion. ~</p>&quot;

<p>WHOO-HOO! What a mouthful!</p>

<p>I definitely agree that there is a lot more to a pisces than a lot of people give them credit for. When I first got into astrology, I kind of thought of pisceans as dependant followers, with little will to do their own thing. A lot of the reading I've done says that pisceans are highly subject to deep depressions and alcohol/drug abuse. From what you say, it could be so! For the distress they find in living trying to please everybody, and failing to do so for their poor acting at favourites.</p>

<p>Of course, my aunt and I get along quite well. She does have some pretty rough times, but more for physical illnesses than anything. And for every low time she has, she can make it up when she's feeling well. I'm not sure that in her case all of the favourites thing is simply for show where people want or expect it though. I think that she is a really, REALLY needy person. Probably from growing up with my mom, who's a cancer, watching my mom grow up holding on to everything she came across and never sharing, heheh. I think that my mom and aunt NEED to be more popular than the other in the family, just to feel that they have any kind of self worth. :|</p>&quot;

<p>Aqrn, thanks for the smile....</p>

<p>Ahhhh, yes, let us celebrate all the deeelights of the \&quot;family dynamic\&quot;...lol. Better not think about that too long or our brains might explode! ;-)</p>

<p>Cheers to you, mom, and auntie too!<br />
PS....and another thing, never ever take a pieseein too seriously, cuz you will never know just what it is that the pie is seein'...no matter how hard they try to convince you that they are \&quot;being serious\&quot;...it's unlikely they have a clue as to what that concept means. After all, it has been suggested that they are the ones who cut into tomatoes, and hear them scream! Convinced? :)</p>&quot;

<p>Man, I don't know why, and it's not fair (especially since I'm not a believer in the astrology thing to begin with!), but pisceans's are a total turn off to me. I've seen people come in, they tell me they're a pisces, and I'm all off to doing something else online... not chattering so much. Of course, I chastise myself for it, and come crawling back. No piscean has ever proved to be an interesting sort, that's all. Polite. Humourless. Ugh.</p>

Aries (March 21 - April 19)<br />
Your October Horoscope by Susan Miller<br />
This month will put a big spotlight on one key relationship, but it is not just about your partner; it puts equal emphasis on what YOU want and what you need to make you happy. This current meditation actually began last month on September 25 with a sweet, inspirational new moon. The beginning of October, if you have the urge, would be the time to merge. You might decide to get engaged or, in the business sense, to sign an agent or other representative. Aries likes to fly solo, but this really won't be the month to do so. Last month's new moon was in a fine angle to Neptune. If you combined energies with another person for a business purpose, there appears to be an interesting creative or artistic twist to your endeavor.</p>

<p>This emphasis on partnering doesn't mean you two will always be on the same wavelength this month. In fact, you may clash on several occasions. This would only prove you are both thinking independently, as you should. A day for caution will come on October 6, when Saturn will reach a tough angle to the Sun. Differences in opinion between you and your partner may surface. The universe doesn't send us challenges to drive us crazy, but to encourage resourcefulness and the search for common ground. You will have to compromise a bit this month, but so will your partner. Don't think it's one-sided. If you feel this relationship isn't one you want to continue, then you'll need to end it now.</p>

<p>Your big, happy moment will arrive at the full moon in Aries on October 10 (operative plus or minus four days). This will NOT be an angry or tension-fraught full moon like last month's was for so many people. This time, Pluto will send a very friendly thunderbolt to the moon from its position in your house of philosophy, foreign people and places, and contacts in academia and publishing. This suggests you may reach a transformational breakthrough on one of those fronts. Certainly something will come to an important finish, something you've wanted to wrap up for a long time. If you were born on April 5, plus or minus five days, you will feel the effects of this full moon most.</p>

<p>(The closer your birthday falls to April 5, the stronger the effect.)</p>

<p>Coinciding with this full moon, Friday, October 10, will be one of the most romantic moments of the month, when graceful Venus and her lover, sexy Mars make a key contact. This will probably be your most romantic date of the month.</p>

<p>This aspect will put your seduction power through the roof &mdash; it would be a perfect date night, especially for first dates. Regardless of the stage of your relationship, if you want to get things to a higher level, this will be your night!</p>

<p>You have some runner-up date nights, too. For singles hoping to meet someone new, October 9 could be divine. Venus will wink at Uranus, setting off a cascade of fireworks. The moon will be in Aries, and Venus will continue to move toward a gorgeous alignment with her sweetheart, Mars. No doubt about it, October 9 will be one effervescent night. One note of caution: Whenever Uranus is involved there is a degree of unpredictability. Meetings are electric under its influence, but they may also end abruptly. If you do meet someone on this night, build the relationship slowly because it could easily overheat.</p>

<p>If you are careful, you could possibly keep this going forever.</p>

<p>If you go out on a date on Saturday, October 18, it's likely to be quite classy and elegant.</p>

<p>Venus will wink at good fortune Jupiter, and the moon will be situated in the perfect-for-Aries sign of Leo. You or your date is likely to be spend money lavishly. The night's activity (dinner out, theater tickets, a concert or a dinner party) will show that someone put a lot of care and attention into designing the evening and make it quite special.</p>

<p>Wednesday, October 22 should also be a date-night standout. With the Sun and Uranus so friendly to one another, chances are you will be with a large group on this night, whether with friends or strangers at a massive event. It will be a perfect night for a party or charity benefit.</p>

<p>October would be a solid month to make lots of progress on many fronts (not only relationships), marking a big change over what you experienced in August and September, two frustrating months.</p>

<p>Many planets were napping in retrograde, making progress difficult to achieve. Among the several planets out of phase were your own ruling planet, Mars, as well as Mercury. The past two months probably demanded patience &mdash; you may have found it nearly impossible to bring any deals or decisions to fruition. If you started to feel that just about everything was on a hold for no particular reason, you were right.</p>

<p>Mercury finally went back to normal, direct speed last month on September 20. The Red Planet, your ruler &mdash; which rules courage, drive, enthusiasm, energy and progress &mdash; went full speed ahead on September 27. Mars won't retrograde again until October 2005, quite a ways off. You have the open road!</p>

<p>On the other hand, Mercury, the planet ruling commerce, agreements and transportation, will retrograde again much sooner than that &mdash; from</p>

<p>December 17 to January 6, right before we get to holiday time. This concerns me, for it will create snafus in all our shopping, shipping and transportation efforts during a time when we need cooperation in these areas! (This is one aspect that affects everyone in the same way.)</p>

<p>I tell you this now so that you can plan ahead.</p>&quot;

<p>ARIES! March 21 - April 19.</p>

<p>Ngilah</p>

<p>Aries</p>

<p>The Myth:<br />
People born under the sign of the ram are supposed to be hot headed, quick tempered, impulsive, impatient and impossible. They love to give orders and they hate to take them. They are fearless but thoughtless, energetic but disorganised, gloriously independent, wonderfully ambitious and eternally hungry for a new adventure.</p>

<p>The Truth:<br />
There is of course, an element of truth in all this but there's a lot more to the story. We're talking about an inclination, not an obligation. Many people born under this sign are wise thinkers and careful planners. It's just even the most mild, meek mannered member of this cosmic club has another \&quot;secret side\&quot;. There will always be one area of their life in which they simply cannot stop themselves from picking fights, breaking rules and taking wild risks.</p>

<p>The Key To Success:<br />
If you were born under the sign of the ram, you should consider yourself blessed. Aries personality traits are extremely useful and they can, if put to proper use, ensure a life full of impressive achievement. You've got amazing willpower and initiative. There's nothing you can't tackle if you try. You need though, to watch out for a tendency to create a life full of difficulty, just so that you always have something to sort out. You like living \&quot;close to the edge\&quot;; but if you could only manage to stand one step back from it, a lot more of your projects would come to fruition.</p>

<p>{Bloodgeon!}<br />
Yup. First and Foremost, Aries are prime, but some of them cut in line, just fine.</p>

<p>MonotarRach<br />
Well obviously me and my Aries planets are just gonna have to fight it out and maybe eventually i will find some way to stop myself<br />

<p>{You possess a bright literary mind. Great Generosity and kindness of heart are also indicated. One aspect in this horoscope shows a marked tendency toward daydreaming and timidity, yet you are always well disposed. (Disposition, not tossed in the wastebin, lol) You must learn concentration and the importance of completing one task before startnig another, (Seems a common trait for those hi-speed impulsive charging aries folks.) Great sex appeal will bring popularity in love. You have a flair for Speculation.}</p>

<p>{This from Zolar's \&quot;Its all in the stars!\&quot; by, yep, you got it, Zolar! A book published in 1962, near the Dawn of the Age of Aquarius I think? and this guy's still around. Anyone else wanna see what Zolar says about their Bdays?}</p>&quot;

<p>Transmetal 2 MAXIMAL:</p>

<p>MAXIMAL</p>

<p>RAMULUS</p>

<p>FUNCTION: SCOUT, SURVIVALIST</p>

<p>Ramulus Stasis Pod crashed in a mountainous region of pre- historic Earth during the onset of the quantum surge.  Isolated, damaged and forced to develop his own survival tactics,<br />
Ramulus trusts neither Maximal or Predacon.  He is reluctant to fight, but brash and impulsive once provoked.  Characteristically calm and reliable when venturing through unexplored territory on his own. </p>

<p>Relishes adventure and argues that the Maximal's success depends on their contual repositioning and relocation.  Longs to see Cybertron. <br />
Ramulus wields a double slagmaker cannon in robot mode and his fractured spark crystal generates disruptive ion pulses.</p>&quot;

<p>Transmetal 2 Cybershark<br />
MEGA<br />
TRANSMETAL 2<br />
MAXIMAL<br />
CYBERSHARK<br />
FUNCTION: OCEAN ATTACK</p>

<p>MOTTO: \&quot;The ocean depths conceal all intentions.\&quot;</p>

<p>Detecting Predacon activity from over 20,000 fathoms below the ocean surface, Cybershark hunts his enemies at over 600 knots.  From ther, little room is left for escape.   Armor piercing, jaw mounted sonar tracer torpedoes have water-to-air capabilities.   Spin drive tail bossts speed and acts as a quaddrabladed razor weapon in attack and robot modes.  Also deploys thruster jets for higher speed and limited low level flight.  A fierce warrior, Cybershark honed his skills while bounty hunting a rogue band of Cybertronian space pirates.  Fully dedicated to the Maximal cause, he often follows his own methods to the frustration of his commander, Depth Charge.   Calculating and fearless, he gives the Predacons a good reason to stay out of the water.</p>&quot;

<p>Aries: The Inner You</p>

<p>You like to be in charge--you want to control your own objects and plans and not to be under anyone else's thumb. You have an intense drive to succeed and put a lot of pressure on yourself. Inside, you're filled with nervous energy and worry about how you're going to handle everything. You hate to be bored; you're always looking for something different--new people and places that promise excitement and adventure. You have very little patience; you need to practice sticking things out. You're also impatient with people who can't resolve a problem. You believe in taking action. What you do have are great generosity and enthusiasm. And although you suffer from occasional self-doubt, you know that if you really want to do something, you can!</p>&quot;

 	<br />
<b>Aries's Amorous Combinations</b><br />
<br />
<b>Aries and Aries</b> This can be a passionate affair, but neither is content with an inferior role. The Aries female tends to dominate (generally because domineering females have to try harder to get there way with domineering males). However, there will be fierce competition to be number one. Eventually, the flare-ups and heavy cannonading take their toll in the bedroom, and what starts out so promisingly ends in disharmony. The prognosis is a little if each has outside interests and/or career separate from the other. When their energies are diverted into other areas, conflict between the two becomes a bit more playful and less destructive.<br />
<br />
<b>Aries and Taurus</b> Both are highly sensual, but Aries may be annoyed by the deliberate pace and unimaginative lovemaking of Taurus. Taurus is a homebody, while Aries is definitely not. Aries is impulsive, and looks for new experiences and freedom. Taurus is possessive and jealous, set in its ways, and views Aries's need to be individual as rejection. Taurus is good at making money, but Aries is even better at spending it. The long haul can be hard going, though if they hang on long enough Aries will come to appreciate Taurus's steadiness and dependability.<br />
<br />
<b>Aries and Gemini</b> They won't bore each other because both love to talk. (It's a close contest, but Gemini will probably win.) And they share a special compatibility, for Gemini is as restless and eager to try new things as Aries is. There are no inhibitions on either side. Gemini is clever enough to counter Aries's need to dominate. Gemini may seek extra outside stimulation, but is discreet about it. Their minds mesh well; Aries is dynamic and intelligent, Gemini is versatile and ingenious. Aries is likely to be the leader sexually, and Gemini delights in thinking up variations to keep Aries's interest at a peak. The signals are definitely a go.<br />
<br />
<b>Aries and Cancer</b> These two are fascinated with each other at the beginning, but sexual attraction fades in the face of many temperamental differences. Aries leaps without looking; Cancer is cautious. Cancer loves hearth and home; Aries hates being tied down. Resentments build up and they argue over trifles. Aries has a sharp tongue that wounds vulnerable Cancer. The more agressive Aries is, the more defensive Cancer becomes. There's too little compatibility to work with. When Cancer starts to nag, Aries looks for the way out.<br />
<br />
<b>Aries and Leo</b> Both have got egos to burn and both like to lead. Agressive Aries wouldn't dream of taking second place, and kingly Leo needs constant admiration. Usually they can work it out by having Leo play the emperor and Aries play the general. The trick is for neither to take the other all that seriously. It's a fine combustible sexual match, for both are fiery and romantic. Aries is optimistic and open to life; Leo is generous and good-hearted. If neither tried to deflate the other--and if they can find room to compromise about who dominates whom--this should be a happy mating.<br />
<br />
<b>Aries and Virgo</b> Aries's boldness should intrigue shy, reserved Virgo for a time. But they have totally different ideas about what should happen in the bedroom--and elsewhere. Aries's passions are impulsive and direct. Virgo's sexuality is more enigmatic and takes time to be revealed. In other areas Aries is full of exciting new plans and ideas, and insists on being boss. Virgo is critical and fussy, and likes things to be done the way Virgo wants. Virgo disapproves of Aries's extravagance; Aries thinks Virgo cold and carping. The end up making war, not love.<br />
<br />
<b>Aries and Libra</b> There is powerful initial attraction between these two opposites, for in certain areas each supplies what the other lacks. For one, Aries's aggresivenss arouses Libra's sensual potential. Their love life may be unconventional. However, Libra really wants peace, quiet, and harmony, while Aries wants action and adventure. Both like social life, entertaining, and pleasure, but both are restless in different ways. In time Libra will look for someone less demanding, and Aries will find someone more adoring. Marvelous affair, poor marriage.<br />
<br />
<b>Aries and Scorpio</b> Love can be a bonfire between these two. They're both physical, energetic, and passionate. Sexually, everything should be fine--it's the emotional side of the relationship they can't handle. Each has a forceful personality and wants to control the other. In the end, Scorpio's jealousy may prove the undoing. Aries's many outside interests make Scorpio feel insecure and that brings out Scorpio's tyrannical streak. Aries won't take orders and Scorpio will never take a back seat. This is an unstable partnership with a low ignition point.<br />
<br />
<b>Aries and Sagittarius</b> Sagittarius is a perfect temperamental match for Aries. They are both active, spontaneous people who like socializing, have extravagant tastes in common, and enjoy the good life. There may be a little conflict because both are impulsive and brutally frank. Arguments can reach a boiling point. Aries's forceful sexual approach is not always playful Sagittarius's style. However, they have wonderful senses of humour and enjoy each other's company. If they make it in the bedroom, they'll make it everywhere else.<br />
<br />
<b>Aries and Capricorn</b> Aries's taste for innovation and experimentation may not please conservative Capricorn. Aries is restless, fiery, impulsive; Capricorn is ordered, settled, practical. Capricorn needs to dominate and so does Aries. Problems also crop up over money--Aries is extravagant, Capricorn is security-minded. Oddly enough, the auguries are better for the long haul than short. Aries's responsive sexual nature meets its match in Capricorn's deep-seated passions. And Capricorn's strength and endurance will in time win Aries's respect.<br />
<br />
<b>Aries and Aquarius</b> They're both well suited temperamentally--both are active, ambitious, enjoy a wide range of interests, and are equally eager for sexual adventure. Depending on whim, Aquarius may or may not let Aries take the lead. Both are independant--Aquarius even more than Aries--and Aries may at times feel neglected. Aries finds the Aquarian unpredictability exciting, but also never feels entirely secure. However, with a bit of tact and understanding on both sides, this is a great affair that could turn into something even better.<br />
<br />
<b>Aries and Pisces</b> Aries will draw Pisces out of that shell, and in turn will be hypnotized by Pisces's seductive and mysterious sexuality. The boldness and confidence of Aries plus Pisces's intuitions and fantasies add up to an eventful union. Personality differences complement each other. Aries is self-assured and vivacious; Pisces is somewhat shy and easily led. Aries likes to be dominant; Pisces likes having someone to lean on. For a happy coupling this requires only a little more tact on Aries's part.&quot;

<p>Aries<br />
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>

<p>Bordering<br />
constellations<br />
Perseus<br />
Triangulum<br />
Pisces<br />
Cetus<br />
Taurus</p>

<p>Visible at latitudes between +90&Acirc;&deg; and &acirc;&circ;'60&Acirc;&deg;</p>

<p>Best visible at 21:00 (9 p.m.) during the month of December<br />
Aries (Latin for Ram, symbol , Unicode &acirc;&trade;&circ;) is one of the constellations of the zodiac. It lies between Pisces to the west and Taurus to the east.</p>

<p>Notable features</p>

<p>Aries' stars are rather faint except for &Icirc;&plusmn; Ari (Hamal) and &Icirc;&sup2; Ari (Sharatan). Other important stars are &Icirc;&sup3; Ari (Mesarthim) and &Icirc;&acute; Ari (Botein).<br />
Teegarden's star, in Aries, is one of our sun's closest neighbours.</p>

<p>Notable deep sky objects</p>

<p>The few deep sky objects in Aries are very dim. They include the galaxies NGC 697 (northwest of &Icirc;&sup2;), NGC 772 (southeast of &Icirc;&sup2;), NGC 972 (in the constellation's northern corner), and NGC 1156 (northwest of &Icirc;&acute;).</p>

<p>Mythology</p>

<p>When including fainter stars, visible to the naked eye, the area resembles the head of a ram, having a general herbivore head shape and a spiral horn.</p>

<p>In Greek mythology, this is believed to represent the ram which carried Athamas's son Phrixus and daughter Helle to Colchis to escape their stepmother Ino. Helle fell off into the sea which later became the Hellespont. On reaching safety, Phrixis sacrificed the ram and hung its fleece in the Grove of Ares, where it turned to gold and later became the quest of Jason and the Argonauts. It appears that Babylonians, Greeks, Persians and Egyptians all agreed on the name of the Ram for this constellation.</p>

<p>The main area of the sky constituting the sign of Aries, containing part of Pisces, the Pleiades, and the constellation of Andromeda, may be the origin of the myth of the girdle of Hippolyte, which forms part of The Twelve Labours of Hercules.</p>

<p>Astrology</p>

<p>The Western astrological sign Aries of the tropical zodiac (March 21&acirc;&euro;\&quot;April 19) differs from the astronomical constellation and the Hindu astrological sign of the sidereal zodiac (April 19 - May 13).</p>

<p>In some cosmologies, Aries is associated with the classical element Fire, and thus called a fire sign (along with Sagittarius and Leo). It is the domicile of Mars and the exaltation of the Sun. It is also one of the four Cardinal signs (along with Libra, Capricorn, and Cancer). Its polar opposite is Libra. Each astrological sign is assigned a part of the body, viewed as the seat of its power. Aries rules the head and face. The symbol for Aries is the ram. Aries are the pioneers of the Zodiac.</p>

Taurids? What's your beef?, lol Kidding.</p>

<p>Cobalt Manticore<br />
THE BRIGHT SIDE: Taurus has a patient, steadfast and reliable personality. People generally know where they are with a Taurus-unless the make the mistake of goading one too far! The Taurea personality isalso warm and sensual, with an appreciation of finer things.</p>

<p>{Bloodgeon!}<br />
In breif, they are..,<br />
Faithful, Secure, passionate, romantic, sensitive, sweethaerts, reliability, generousity.<br />
Whew thought I was setting myself up for an asskicking.</p>

<p>teritales<br />
Sun in Taurus<br />
Taurus energy - practical, solid, and reliable - dislikes change and may be slow to get moving. It's difficult to change the mind of Taurus... for that matter, may be impossible to move or change Taurus! And the harder people try - the harder Taurus digs in. Why?<br />
Taurus is a \&quot;fixed earth sign.\&quot; For the Sun placed in earth - life is a world of concrete reality and sensory perception, with roots solidly built on earthy, physical sensations. The Sun in earth feels most comfortable when surrounded with the world of the five senses... With the Sun in Taurus? Whatever cannot be touched, heard, smelled, seen or tasted is either denied or made as concrete and tangible as possible.</p>

<p>Taurean energy, ruled by the planet of Venus, has built itself a reputation for being possessive and valuing material things. But the apparent materialistic outlook of<br />
Taurus is not primarily based on high-minded and/or ideological beliefs. It's just that Taurean energy feels a heck of a lot safer when owning plenty of real, solid, possessions. Taurus says: \&quot;I feel oh so much safer when I can HOLD onto something solid, real, and tangible in my hands (and in my heart).</p>

<p>Taurus, being in the element of earth, has a consciousness sold on physical security... sold on \&quot;the here and the now.\&quot; Of all the earth signs, Taurus energy has the greatest need for physical security. And the search for security can often tend to make Taurus a wee bit conservative, possessive, and practical.</p>

<p>Taurus is also the Zodiacal sign with the greatest need for having a sense of inner self-worth and value. To accomplish this task, Taurus needs a solid sense of internal harmony that goes deep down into his/her innermost marrow and bones. Among other things, this need for inner-harmony means that Taurus needs to sense that he/she is being practical, productive, and fruitful. Don't kid yourself. Taurus is not necessarily seeking this harmony in order to please another person, the world, or even his/her God. In doing this, it seems to me that Taurus is ultimately seeking a sense of inner-quiet, harmony, and serenity within him or herself. Taurus seeks a solid sense of inner-quiet, harmony, and serenity that says: \&quot;all is well in the moment\&quot; (and all is well in my immediate surrounding environment).</p>

<p>One more thing, Taurus... Scorpio most often gets the nod for being the \&quot;sex sign.\&quot; But we both know a little secret (don't we). The earth sign Taurus is specifically associated with survival \&quot;through awareness of the senses.\&quot; Associated with the garden of paradise... Taurus reflects a childlike innocence and naivet&eacute; concerning the senses and the fulfillment of instinctual sexual needs. Barring other factors in the chart - of all the signs, you feel the strongest instinctual urge and need for touching and caressing. When it comes down to experiencing pure unbridled physical pleasure and sensuality, Taurus is often in a category all its own.</p>

<p>Need one final clue in understanding the archetypal energy of Taurus? In the circle of the Zodiac, Taurus is the second sign. In the first zodiacal sign we have the sign of Aries. Archetypally, Aries is usually seeking just about anything other than peace, serenity, and/or harmony... Active, in-your-face, hot-blooded, pioneering Aries learns that if you push hard enough and talk loud enough - then the world will often come running to your door. On the other hand, archetypal Taurus says \&quot;Okay folks... now that I've already learned all about what I can do (Aries) - let me sit back, live in harmony, and enjoy all the wonderful fruits of my labor!\&quot;</p>

<p>There was a cherished and favorite maxim during the European Renaissance that fits in quite well here: \&quot;Festina leste!\&quot; Translated this is: \&quot;Make haste, slowly!\&quot;</p>

<p>Your birth Sun is the hero of your mythic journey through this lifetime. So let Your Light Shine!<br />

Sun Sign Interpretations<br />
You were born with the Sun in Taurus, which means that your conscious will<br />
is orientated towards achieving tangible results as a reward for your endeav-<br />
ours. You are therefore capable of developing considerable patience, for<br />
you realise that results do not always come at once in the material world.</p>

<p>You tend to trust in learning by experience, a process which in itself takes<br />
some time, trusting to your senses to add to your information about the<br />
world around you. Your instincts are pretty good, for your conscious will<br />
operates in connection with an unconscious ability to perceive the immed-<br />
iate facts in any situation, and you are good at \&quot;pattern recognition\&quot;.</p>

<p>You<br />
are therefore likely to seek out those surroundings and experiences which<br />
you have found rewarding in the past, hence your reputation for prudence and<br />
the enjoyment of physical pleasures.</p>

<p>If other parts of your personality<br />
are more immediately adventurous, you may see others as being the plodders,<br />
slowing you down. If this is the case, you need to get to know yourself<br />
better, and to value your own ability to show down-to-earth common sense</p>

Okay i know i am setting myself...but disclaimer is still that i am nuts</p>

<p>Taurus believe that all owe them, and if they don't admit it straight away more fool them cause they are gonna come and get ya</p>

<p>Very grounded very intent... very not interested unless it was their idea<br />
Taurus are wonderful motivators so long as you do not think you are not interested</p>

<p>if you aren't...you have two choices...lie or go with the flow<br />
unfortunately a Taurus will not change their mind once it is made...everything or nothing...and for the rest of us 'god save the soul of thems trying to go against that'</p>

Taurus (April 20- May 20)<br />
Your October Horoscope by Susan Miller<br />
This month will have something for everyone! Gone is last month's frustration. Mercury was retrograde and held up agreements, delayed meetings and prolonged decisions.</p>

<p>Mercury naturally rules your second house of income so you may have had to wait for a check. If so, it should be forthcoming now. (It also rules your house of romance. You should see some welcome progress in that area this month, too!)</p>

<p>Mars was useless to you last month as well, as Mars was napping alongside Mercury. Mars is often called the \&quot;timekeeper of the zodiac,\&quot; the planet that triggers news and activity in our lives.</p>

<p>It's been a frustrating couple of months, to say the least, but things are about to blast forward.</p>

<p>What a relief!</p>

<p>As you begin the month, there will be special emphasis on the sixth house, and health may be a focus.</p>

<p>If you have had any medical questions that require answers, this would be the time to seek them. It doesn't matter if you have a serious concern or just a little one; if you act in the first week of October, you can expect to make progress. Schedule a procedure, get a blood test, go for your annual flu shot or have your eyes examined. Even dental visits come under this area of the chart; have your pearly whites spiffed up if you haven't in a while.</p>

<p>Fitness also falls under this active sixth house. If you haven't exercised in some time (or even if you have never worked out) you may feel the need to do something as the month begins. As Kim Cattrell of \&quot;Sex in the City\&quot; said to Joan Rivers on the red carpet at the Emmy awards recently (I will paraphrase): Once you get over 40, you have to reclaim your body.</p>

<p>There is no such thing as having a super body without work, Kim explained. Smart girls and guys in their twenties don't wait until 40 &mdash; they start a lifelong healthy lifestyle early. Male or female, young or less young, fitness is important. We all love the way Kim looks, so it's clear exercise works!</p>

<p>Last month's new moon on September 25 was one of the most positive of the year for designing a new fitness routine. Even if you didn't do anything when that moon appeared you can benefit from its energy, but you'll have to hurry because it's running out of steam. You have until approximately October 7 to make use of this new moon. The sooner you act, the better.</p>

<p>If you HAVE been exercising, now's the time to shake things up a bit.</p>

<p>Come on, don't say no. There must be a sport you've been dying to try, or an intriguing new class at the gym. Boxing? Salsa? Maybe you want to learn martial arts so that you can protect yourself. You'd get a good workout while you learned something useful. Don't wait for a New Year's resolution to get fit &mdash; the January sky won't do anything to help you reshape your body. You have the perfect situation NOW!</p>

<p>Allow me to clarify something: This new moon is not about dieting, but about exercise. The ideal way to benefit from these vibes would be to begin a new workout at the start of October, and wait to start your diet until two weeks later, on October 14. (It is always best to start a diet AFTER the full moon has appeared.) Also, astrology tells us you should become active first and cut back on portions later. Watch fat and sugar content, try to eat more natural foods, and stay away from processed products.</p>

<p>If you are starting a diet, be sure to be sensible. This full moon may make you feel a little tired, and possibly on the verge of getting a sore throat. You may need more sleep and nourishment. Try not to overbook your schedule at this time.</p>

<p>The same full moon period, October 10 plus or minus four days, would be a great time to speak to someone about a problem, whether that be a counselor, licensed therapist or a close friend. I say that because the house where the full moon will fall is the twelfth house of psychological matters. A secret may come out in the open or you may be dismayed to see a confidence of yours come into the light.</p>

<p>(Careful!)</p>

<p>Your career will go gangbusters this month. On two occasions you will hit the jackpot. Your first dazzling moment should come on either October 8 or October 9, when Venus will send a wink to Uranus. A confidential career-oriented meeting should go exceptionally well &mdash; better than you expected. A middleman seems to be involved. A tip &mdash; from an agent, representative, lawyer, broker, headhunter or other such person &mdash; seems to link you to your good fortune. Or, you may be meeting in order to sign such an expert.</p>

<p>Again, if this is the case, you are in luck. (As you will see later, all kinds of collaborations are golden in late October.)</p>

<p>Another day to watch for career luck will be on October 22. News at this time should be exciting, indeed; again your good fortune seems to occur thanks to a go-between or tipster whose advice is right on the money. This will be a glorious day worth three-and-a-half stars. Make sure you note it on your calendar. If you need a breakthrough, this day could offer you one.</p>

<p>Mars has been touring your eleventh house of friendship since June.</p>

<p>While most Taurus have had a positive experience with this aspect, enjoying more happy interaction with their friends, a few have not. In fact, it's possible you experienced just the opposite. Have you experienced conflict with, felt betrayed or let down by a pal? If this is the case for you, it's because you have certain planets in your natal chart that I cannot see, aspects that are apparently clashing with Mars. Mars is the warrior planet and can bring strife to a house.</p>

<p>No matter what experience you have had with friends or groups, things should improve this month once<br />
Neptune moves direct on October 22.<br />
Neptune rules this eleventh house of friendship and social interaction. When Neptune started to retrograde back on May 15, 2003, your Platonic relationships may have started to spiral out of whack. Now things should get back on track. If you had a falling out with a friend, take this opportunity on or in the days near October 22 to extend an olive branch. I bet she or he will respond well to your gesture.</p>

<p>No matter what, it is clear that since last June you have made an effort to widen your circle of friendships and casual contacts. This will pay off soon.</p>

<p>Let's list your best date nights for October. All Taurus will benefit on these dates, not just those who are attached. Remember, you have Jupiter, the great benefactor, in your house of true love this year. This should be a banner year for romance. Your \&quot;year\&quot; began on August 27, 2003, so you have only just begun!</p>

<p>It is clear you are ready for a little romance, and the stars are going to twinkle brightly on the following dates: (If you are single and looking for love, some of these should help you find that special someone.)</p>

<p>Friday, October 3 will be perfect for art, music or film, when the Sun and poetic Neptune will cook up one divine magic spell. The moon will be in compatible Capricorn, too &mdash; just perfect!</p>

<p>Wednesday, October 8: Single or married, you won't fail on this zesty, sparkling night. Venus will contact surprising Uranus and you'll be at your witty best. This date will also be close to a full moon in Aries, so if you're single and invited on a blind date, this night would be ideal, for the chemistry would likely be perfect.</p>

<p>Friday, October 17 will be gorgeous! This will be a three-and-a-half-star date night no matter what your status. Your ruler Venus and Jupiter will combine energies from your fifth house of true love and your seventh house of promises and commitment. I LOVE this night for you! The fact that Venus is your ruler is VERY significant, suggesting that while other signs will enjoy this night, you will enjoy it doubly so. Revel tonight, dear Taurus!</p>

<p>(Were you born on April 29? Wild card &mdash; your name is written in lights in the sky!)</p>

<p>On October 20 Venus, your ruler, and Saturn, planet of stability, will join forces. You may make a promise or dream a plan with your partner &mdash; and it will stick. This will be a day when you mean what you say.</p>

<p>Now let's turn to your most serious, close relationships, a huge theme this month.</p>

<p>You may make a serious commitment to someone special &mdash; a business partner or sweetheart &mdash; in the two weeks that follow the new moon on October 25. Your seventh house, which will be so lit up for you, rules engagement/marriage as well as all formal, contractual business agreements. In the latter case you may be signing a business partner, agent, manager, representative, collaborator or similar one-on-one expert. Or you may enter into a joint venture or special agreement where each of you provides half of what's needed to be successful.</p>

<p>So if you feel ready to merge your energies with another, the planets are certainly ready to help you.</p>

<p>Wait until this new moon appears on October 25 &mdash; please try not to act prior to this date. By month's end you will have the Sun, Mercury, Venus and the new moon in this house, and the Sun will be very cheery to Mars. The very fact that Venus is present suggests this association will make you very happy. It will be well worth the wait!</p>

<p>If you are not getting together with someone this month, you may be sorting out a past problem with a close partner or spouse. Uranus has been retrograde since June, but will bolt forward in early November. You may find you have to go back and work things out with this person</p>

<p>(probably a business-oriented relationship).</p>

<p>Talks won't languish &mdash; by next month all should be resolved.<br />
If you were born on April 20, you will be affected by this October 10 full moon more than any of your Taurus friends.</p>

<p>As you see, it will be a busy month, and thank goodness for that. Enough of the lazy days of August and September &mdash; you're ready for action!</p>

<p>Ngilah<br />
Summary:<br />
Venus, your ruler, will make four positive contacts to other planets, boosting your sex appeal to an all-time high. Watch October 9 and 10, two sparkling days when you'll be irresistible to an intriguing someone.</p>

<p>After that, watch October 18, when Venus, your ruler, will contact Jupiter, planet of good fortune.</p>

<p>You'll be luckier than a leprechaun in finding your buried treasures. Use this day to take a risk, to be artistic, or to paint the town red with the one you love. No matter what you do on this day, you'll be a standout. On Monday, October 20, you should be able to make a plan with someone you love or want to do business with. Venus will be perfectly compatible with Saturn then.</p>

<p>By the way, with so many good Venus aspects, something we didn't talk about but that I will add here is that women will bring more opportunities in October than men. Keep that in mind &mdash; it doesn't matter if you are a male or female reader &mdash; women will be lucky for you now.</p>

<p>Dating a heartthrob? With four planets plus a new moon on October 25 crowded into your seventh house of commitment, conditions may be right to buy the ring and set the date. Exciting! Alternatively, you may use this month's two-some energies to partner up on a dynamite business idea that rings up profits.</p>

<p>Speaking of work, present an original idea to higher-ups on October 22. They'll sit up and take notice. That will be your number-one career day. First runner up: On October 9-10 you will wow them then, too.</p>

<p>Finally, fitness and health also advance this month, but you will have to help things along. Start your active fitness program or schedule a doctor's appointment in the first week and you will be well on your way to better health. If you want to change your diet, too, wait until October 14. And remember, get moving first for best results!</p>

SO... whats all this rumpus?</p>

<p>Ngilah<br />
Teri Tales<br />
A very special Taurean<br />
Teri Tales is deeply sensual. Her senses of touch, smell and sight are highly refined. And as for her taste? It's impeccable. Teri is extremely discriminating - when she sees the best, she won't ever settle for anything less. She would rather 'go without' than go for a poor substitute. But then that's Teri all over. It really isn't fair to call her 'stubborn as a mule.' Mules are adaptable, easy going creatures who are always eager to please - or at least, they are by comparison to Teri Tales. Unfortunately, for a person with such expensive preferences Teri is not a millionaire ...or at least, not yet. You never know, it may just happen because Teris' relationship with money is very interesting. She treats it with a curious mixture of disdain and respect. She never lets it stand in her way, yet she will go out of her way to get it when she needs to. Teri is a smart cookie and a shrewd operator. It is not though, merely in the field of finance that Teri Tales displays intuitive wisdom.<br />
Teri has an affinity with nature. She can make almost any plant flower and bear fruit. This is just as well because Teri has a hearty appetite. She likes her food as indeed she likes all her creature comforts. Fond though she is of all the above - and of all life's little luxuries - there is one more source of endless fascination that Teri cannot resist. Teri doesn't so much have a hearty appetite for sensual pleasure as a ravenous hunger for it! Which is funny really because you wouldn't necessarily think it to look at her. Teri likes to play it cool. Teri likes to pretend that nothing bothers her, fazes her or excites her. Like all Taureans though, Teri Tales is a powerhouse of passion, as those who are lucky enough to know her - or to love her - will breathlessly testify.</p>

<p>Ngilah<br />
Taurus<br />
The Myth:<br />
Taurean people are supposed to be stubborn, slow and stroppy. Legend has it that they are fond of their food and fond too, of indulging other \&quot;appetites\&quot;. A further suggestion is that those born under the Bull are keenly acquisitive. It is said that they can't get enough of the finer things in life and that they always get whatever we want.</p>

<p>The Truth:<br />
Taureans are perfectly capable of adapting, adjusting and adopting an easygoing demeanour. They are sensual people with an ability to appreciate quality and value but it is most unfair to call them materialistic. Few and far between are the selfish Taureans - or the ones who are interested only in money. To the contrary, most are highly idealistic. They want their own lives - and the lives of those they care for, to be the best that they can possibly be - and they will stop at nothing to achieve this. It is only, really, in this respect that Taureans can be fixed, resolute and deeply determined.</p>

<p>The Key To Success:<br />
If you are a Taurean, you should be aware that your greatest asset is your instinctive sense of justice.</p>

<p>You can recognise a rip-off at a thousand paces and you can always find what's fair. When you trust this, you are unerringly guided towards the right type of creative inspiration, the best sort of worldly ambition and the cleverest kind of friendship. All you ever need to do, to get on in life, is trust the natural good judgement that you sometimes feel inclined to ignore.</p>

<p>{Bloodgeon!}<br />
Well said, another word for Taurus when overheated is HAMBURGER. ALways keep your cool and be mindful of what's at \&quot;steak\&quot; and you'll at least stay \&quot;medium rare\&quot;.<br />
oKAY ENOUGH of the bum steer jokes, lol. Taurus I've observed are steadfast friends who are protective of themselves and others in their herd, and that aint no \&quot;bull\&quot;.</p>&quot;

<p>*Pink for Taurus? Damn, what about the male Tauri? (pl.)</p>

<p>{This sign also rules the neck , throat and voice. Overdoing things often results in muscle tension in this area, or laryngitis. Regular gentle massage should ease stiffness in the neck muscles. Their natural weak spot in the throat may lead to longlasting colds. If this happens, Taureans should rethink their diet and take up some form of exercise.}</p>

<p>Taurus: The Inner You</p>

<p>You need order in your life--you get anxious when things are out of control. And because the unfamiliar makes you feel insecure, you tend to cut yourself off from fresh experiences. You need to be more open to change. Having beautiful things is important to you, and your instinct for collecting even spills over into relationships. You hold fast to those you care about. You have a few close friends rather than many casual acquaintances. In love, you're happiest when involved in a caring, committed relationship. You're deeply sensitive--a rebuff or harsh word is very upsetting to you--and with strangers, you often feel self-conscious.</p>&quot;

 	<br />
<b>Taurus's Amorous Combinations</b><br />
<br />
<b>Taurus and Aries</b> Taurus is not as quick on the trigger as Aries, but both have a mutual interest in making love. Aries is emotional and Taurus is sensual, and they're both bound to have fun while the affair lasts. In time, though, Taurus's possessiveness will strike angry sparks from fiery Aries. They'll also argue about money--Taurus tends to be careful and conservative, Aries is reckless and a spendthrift. Aries's impulsiveness in making decisions annoys fixed Taurus, who dislikes a sudden change in routine. An affectionate affair can turn into a difficult marriage.<br />
<br />
<b>Taurus and Taurus</b> This isn't the most exciting union ever, for both are domestic creatures who prefer safety to adventure. However, both share a fondness for money, are hardworking, loyal, and affectionate. She tends to be more sentimental than he, but each is as possessive as the other, which works out fine. Because they are both earthy and direct about sexual needs, there should be no problem in that department. Boredom is the threat. The perfect solution is for each to develop some outside hobbies and friends without raising the possessive hackles of the other.<br />
<br />
<b>Taurus and Gemini</b> These two are completely unalike in temperament. Taurus is stolid, fixed in opinions, resistant to change. Gemini is flighty, restless, vacillating. But they may find each other intriguing for that very reason—for a little while. Gemini is attracted to Taurus’s passions, but in time Taurus’s instinct for security and stability will be offended by the volatile Gemini. Taurus is too much a creature of habit to go along with Gemini’s constant need for new stimulation. Eventually, Taurus’s demands are simply too much for Gemini, who seeks escape.<br />
<br />
<b>Taurus and Cancer</b> They have a lot going for them. Both are home-lovers, sentimentalists, and highly sexed. Taurus’s even-going, placid nature is a good antidote for Cancer’s moodiness, though sometimes plain-spoken Taurus must be careful not to slight Cancer’s feelings. Cancer needs someone strong like Taurus to depend on; in turn, Cancer gives Taurus the loyalty and feedback it needs. Taurus is ambitious for money and security, and Cancer has exactly these same goals. Similar interests and desires make for a harmonious mating.<br />
<br />
<b>Taurus and Leo</b> Leo demands constant praise and adulation, and is forever competing with Taurus. As a result, Taurus digs in its heels and gets more sullen with each passing day. Taurus needs appreciation and Leo needs worship. But neither will get what it needs from the other. In addition, Leo is extravagant and Taurus parsimonious. There is a basic conflict between Taurus’s desire for a well-ordered schedule and Leo’s need for a larger-than-life existence. Sexually, these two are well-matched, but Leo thinks life is a circus and tries to perform in all three rings at once. Taurus finds that hard to take, or even to watch.<br />
<br />
<b>Taurus and Virgo</b> It’s love at first sight. Both are homebodies and they share the same intellectual pursuits. Taurus’s tenacity and Virgo’s sharp mind are a good combination for success as a team. And Taurus keeps a careful eye on expenditures, which pleases thrifty Virgo. Although they lack what might be called a spontaneous approach to life, neither puts a high value on that. They may have to adjust sexually, for Taurus is more physical. However, Taurus will probably waken Virgo’s sleeping passions. And they have everything else is common.<br />
<br />
<b>Taurus and Libra</b> Taurus finds Libra a warm, romantic, vibrant partner. Libra was born to charm and titillate. Steady Taurus balances Libra’s indecisiveness. Money may be a problem, for Libra doesn’t share Taurus’s reverential attitude towards a dollar, but both tend to be acquisitive and like to collect beautiful things. Both signs are ruled by Venus and have sensual natures, but each expresses this quality differently. In time, Libra’s fickleness and casual air toward love can drive Taurus wild; and Libra will certainly resent Taurus’s possessiveness. This romantic pairing may not last long.<br />
<br />
<b>Taurus and Scorpio</b> These two are opposites in the zodiac, but they have more in common than other opposites. Both are determined and ambitious, and neither is much or a rover. However, there are two strong wills at work here. Taurus’s passionate sexual nature meets more than its match in Scorpio—in fact, the sexual element in this affair borders on the obsessive. But Scorpio’s overbearing, possessive, jealous nature makes Taurus simmer with resentment. This is a tempestuous affair, and neither has the tolerance to make the union last.<br />
<br />
<b>Taurus and Sagittarius</b> This might work if Taurus can tie a string to Sagittarius’s kite and hold on tight. They are attracted to each other physically, for Taurus’s passions are ignited by Sagittarius’s uninhibited lovemaking. But Taurus finds it difficult to deal with Sagittarius’s roving eye and search for novelty. Sagittarius has an easy, live-and-let-live attitude about sex and everything else, whereas Taurus is both serious and possessive. Sagittarius refuses to stay under someone else’s thumb. No dull moments—but a good deal of quarreling. An affair can be fun.<br />
<br />
<b>Taurus and Capricorn</b> Capricorn is a strong match for Taurus, for they both have passions that are straightforward and uncomplicated. There won’t be much romance but plenty of healthy sex. They share the same goals and like the same kinds of friends, and both are fond of security and money. Capricorn is a bit more secretive than Taurus would like, but all the same Capricorn’s loyalty makes Taurus feel secure. And Taurus is charmed by Capricorn’s unexpected sense of humour. Auguries for the long term are promising.<br />
<br />
<b>Taurus and Aquarius</b> Neither is likely to approve of the other. Taurus is conservative, careful, closemouthed. Aquarius is unconventional, innovative, and vivacious. Taurus is lusty and passionate, while Aquarius operates on a mental plane. Taurus finds it hard to keep Aquarius at home or satisfied with the delights of domesticity. Aquarius looks for openness and self-expression in a relationship, while Taurus needs security and comfort. Aquarius, a fancy-free loner who resents ties that bind, sooner or later slips away from possessive Taurus.<br />
<br />
<b>Taurus and Pisces</b> Pisces may not altogether understand Taurus’s materialistic approach to life. But the dependability of Taurus supplies the anchor Pisces needs to keep from drifting away into a private sea of fantasy. Hardworking Taurus sets a good example for lazy Pisces. Also, Taurus’s practical, easygoing nature helps Pisces through its infrequent changes of mood. In love, Taurus is devoted and Pisces is adoring. Though Pisces can be a little fey for Taurus, they’re well suited sexually. Taurus is passionate, Pisces is sensual, and what’s wrong with that?&quot;

Some clans there already have great names, I just wish some of them could SPELL!! <br />
I can't be admiring of a clan that seems run by evil 2nd graders, lol. <br />
I'm not naming any names, that's their job. <br />
TIP: under [My Clan] there's [Change Name], it DOES NOT cause you to lose your three letter tag initials or members, but it does allow one to correct unsightly spelling errors or other minor corrections and enhancements. </p>

Drop on in on this place, it's small, but growing, finding it's feet to hit the ground running, two of the few clans who give a damn enough about the game to treat the players of it all equally! <br />
At least I hope they do, and if someone want's to differ with me, think on this, a few to me can mean between 3 and 12, so chill, lol! </p>

If one of you wants to post it, and is successful, great, I just hate posting a sloppy mess of code, when I can't figure out what went wrong. <br />
I might just be missing part of the code or something. really gotta get an Html person on this... POLECAT!! HALP!! </p>

I'm gonna bleach it Monochrome of course, keeping it cell-shaded simple to keep load times down. No movers, no shakers, no bandwidth takers. <br />
But if someone wants to come on doon and show me where I can put that thing, and how to do the Affiliates ... uh, that'd be great! </p>

It looks darn good. Proboards is doing good for us folks in the adventuring trade, it's a good way to network without chasing down email addresses ad messenger IDs. Finally, they add a sense of community! <br />
Dunno how many of these I'll actually Join, or what ones would be appropriate for me to join, but there is something for everyone. and I'm tired and babbling, lol. </p>

MAC is a VERY big clan in Shade, a MMORPG for mobile phones. <br />
It is also an up and coming clan in Lord Of The Rings. <br />

Re: MAC Clan Board <br />
Updates long overdue, but I resigned from the MAC Board during a low time for them, and me personally. <br />
MAC and COM had disbanded and I was feeling disillusioned (sp?) with their creative direction, ceding all control and the COM name to the GAA group, run by the Angels. <br />
Now it's really hard to pin down. <br />
GAA's leaders are securely within Grm, GAA's troops have split into KNP and KoP, MAC's players wound up in Lewd's DCC Clan and maybe a few other places and the rest have just blown to the eight winds. <br />
It'll be awhile before MAC and COM can regroup from this, get everyone re-organised, but they could use the time off. <br />
The board remains active. </p>

SOC and CTC, love em or hate em, they have that staying power having been around for way longer than most clans there. <br />
I think I remember the Jurnies playing LOTR once way back, <br />
(this was later recently verified to be false, either a cloner or one of them damn memory implants the weapon X program put in my fractured mind, lol!) but not sure, maybe I stumbled into Shade sooner than remember doing..., and G_3 is one of the titans in the game, but the good thing is, seems after ya reach over level 20, one seems to rise above needing to demonstrate their ingame power, as it's clearly evident. <br />
(Not everyone's acting macho ingame, I am not saying this, I'm saying there are worse ways to be.) </p>

I used to be a little freaked about by these and other clans composed of high-level players. MiddleEarth Jitters I guess. lol. <br />
Mass Propas for Grm though, @bel during his atonement phase did a spot of chatting inroom helping out the new players with his game experience which I might add is quite an experience. <br />
Anyways, I came in after seeing almost everyone from levels 7 - 70 having wicked scimitars of Chaos and initiated a convo on that. M@GE@BEL remembered this because a few days, week, whatever, later, he sent an emissary, CLINT@N to my aid, Scimitar and all for a pretty damn good price! <br />
I have since passed down the scim to another worthy up-and-comer, but sometimes ya just gotta figures a player gets \&quot;due\&quot; for an upgrade. <br />
Crying shame to see level tens using a sword of remorse when some squishy lil level fives already have black pearl gear on.., <br />
CHOADS! lol. </p>

Freaky little thing that's been happening lately, and probably has been going on since the game started, but, here it is anyway!: <br />
\&quot;New\&quot; players, but really not new at all, older players coming in disguised as newer players, but end up giving themselves away by claiming to know the missing player personally or asking you too much what you personally thought of them, or even talking about the missing player a little too much. <br />
That's not a problem until they join a Clan. Some of these folks have made a big old mess beforethey departed the game for the lands of anonimity and aren't very good at hiding their presence. It's assumed since it's so obvious to the person/people who 'caught' them, it should be obvious to a clan leader, but Clan Leaders have alot on their minds and can't police every aspect of the clan, they got lives outside the game too. (weirdoes) LMAO! <br />
What I wanna suggest is for 'new' players, go to those clans you feel you can trust, msg those people you knew as friends, think of who those friends know too. <br />
Clan Leaders if you want to prevent this kinda messiness, it might be time to develop an easy quick screening process for prospective Clandidates. Yeah I know it's a complex mess, but sometimes this mess gives people complexes. <br />
It's alot more common than you think, and happens more than we know. <br />
Darn restarters, like them or not individually, as a whole they've created an atmosphere of distrust and suspicion that gives alot of authentic actual newbs the Cold Shoulder in those critical first days of life, lol. <br />
Luckily I guess I was just too loud and out there and whacked out to have been possibly anyone trying to Hide, now the people not talking are either wwwaaayyy up there players who dont talk to anyone below level 11 - 12 or actually, just aren't into me, lol, that's fine too, cause it's just a game, and what isn't part of the game... is drama. <br />

You first gotta think on an alignment and stay consistent to it. Clans that are too shifty have slippery grasp on their alliances, theorhetically. <br />
Someone once advised me to pick my ethics and stick to them. <br />

Upgraded Gear? Empower new members, don't weaken then. <br />
Setting up Openly Veiwable Clan information, website, webpage? It involves people, increases common knowledge, makes things so much easier for all involved. <br />
Networking, times everyone's usually on, hunting plans, getting the best deal on equipment, Info sharing? <br />

Re: On Creating Your Clan!: <br />
I ran the old ORC clan in this way, two easy biggish words: Designation and Delegation! I didnt consciously run them like that, but those methods arose from tempered practice and proven trials. <br />
We had members on at all times we needed them for the most part. <br />
In forming a clan at first, those you wind up with are usually on in yor timeframe anyways. </p>

<p>CatDrgN!{Trk}Shade <br />
Re: On Creating Your Clan!: <br />
Sounds funny, but if it WERE NOT for the people in these games, I'd have started and kept most of my clans. <br />
I used to take in all manner of fugitive and endanger the rest of the clan, apparently, that doesn't work all that well. <br />
Now they're hiding out in other clans, possibly still up to their old schtick, lol, I'm not sayin' nothing, these types get found out for who/what they are soon enough. <br />
Timeframe aside, still I'm being alot more selective this time around, focussing on quality, rather than Quantity. Middle-Earth {Trk} will do alot better that way. </p>

I didn't know until several month ago that sweet old lady who played Ruth-Anne Miller had passed away! </p>

<p>I've walked around inside her old store too, it's now a tourist shop that sells NE Sweatshirts, pencils, shotglasses souvenirs, and stuffed Mooses, moose, meese... I've wlaked by the KBHR Radio Station, now emptied out except for the desk and a few layers of Dust. I had a COffee at The Brick. It IS one of those old fashioned bars that you can just throw your peanut shells on the floor, they get swept into a gutter and rainwater from outside washes them on out. I saw Marilyn Whirlwind's place I think, it's an Inn now. JoeL Fleischmann's office is there too but I think they were selling Chainsaws! Didn't go for a physical there, turn your head and cough, RnnnnBzzzzzawOOOUUUWWWChh! </p>

<p>Fave characters off the top of my head, ED! Of course Ed, ed rules. Leonard, played by Graham Greene, Ed's Shaman mentor. One-Who-Waits. Marilyn. Adam &amp; Eve, they remind me of me and my better half lol. Maggie is a fox, Shelly maybe, but a total flake. Janine Turner as Maggie, one of my few daytime TV Crushes, her and Gabrielle from Xena actually lol. Jesse The Bear, yes an andibal can be a character too. Joel, the doc I loved to hate, and then as I watched this character evolve and then just leave by the lamest way possible, okay beautiful sweeping way, but I do protest it still and demand a reunion program. Holling VinCouer too, I suspect he was a werewolf or vampire though. Maurice had good moments as a genuine human being, but always reverted back to form. Rick uh, Sattelite responsible for one of the funniest lines in NE History \&quot;Rick got hit by a Spaceship!\&quot; Shelly is hilarious lol. CHRIS STEVENS IS GOD! Thank you! Bernard is Moses lol.</p>

<p>I hated the Allergy guy, Mike Monroe, wussy hypochondriacula. Barbara Semanski, that was one ugly damn dude. Dave &amp; Eugene the Chefs, bland ever smiling simpletons with no more depth then a buttered waffle griddle, but you can blame the writers for that as well. Eric &amp; Ron the men loving men eachother, maybe one of TV's first gay couples besides Fred &amp; Barney, a bit creepy, not a hate thing, but well words fail me lol. The Capras, they were hard to really give a damn about. I'd better press submit before things freeze up on this gem of a review.</p>

Description:<br />
&gt;:]} We believe Chief Sealth / Seattle said it best, excerpted: "My people are few. They resemble the scattering trees of a storm - swept plain... <br />
<br />
There was a time when our people covered the land as the waves of a wind-ruffled sea cover its shell-paved floor, but that time long since passed away with the greatness of tribes that are now but a mournful memory. What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, men would die from great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to the man. At night when the streets of your cities and villages are silent and you think them deserted, they will throng with the returning hosts that once filled them and still love this beautiful land. <br />
<br />
The white man will never be alone. <br />
<br />
Every part of all this soil is sacred to my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove has been hollowed by some sad or happy event in days long vanished. The very dust you now stand on responds more willingly to their footsteps than to yours, because it is rich with the blood of our ancestors and our bare feet are conscious of the sympathetic touch. <br />
<br />
Let him be just and deal kindly with my people, for the dead are not powerless. Dead, did I say? There is no death, only change of worlds. Tribe follows tribe, nations follow nations like the tides of the sea. It is the order of nature, and regret is useless." Join this cause, resume our quest, claws or paws, do your best. <br />
<br />
The Cobalt one has Returned, so many of us inactive, but as long as I am here, thou shalt all ne'er diminish. <br />

New members of the tribe are always welcome as long as they are. Chaos is in our Nature.{[:&lt; <br />

  LIBRA! Sept. 23 - Oct. 22.</p>

<p>{Bloodgeon!}<br />
Peaceful, Harmonizer, Devious.</p>

<p>Jojara<br />
What does a Libra do for Halloween?<br />
is still standing in front of the closet trying to decide on a costume</p>

<p>{Bloodgeon!}<br />
Wow, very little info on Libras here! :S Have any libras decided to join the board yet? lol. Ayways, guess I'll start it off like this:</p>

<p>Who puts off promises and say, keeps you waiting half the day? Who compromises all the way? Sweet Libra.</p>

<p>Symbol: The scales</p>

<p>Element: Air</p>

<p>Quality: Cardinal</p>

<p>Ruler: Venus<br />
(THats also on Taurus as a....damn, this book is all [&fnof;&ccedil;&dagger;]ed up!)</p>

<p>Colours: Pale blue, pink.</p>

<p>Gemstone: Emerald</p>

<p>Metal: Copper<br />
(Also a Taurus metal there, I'm<br />
starting to see a pattern here..,)</p>

<p>Perfume: galbanum</p>

<p>Keywords: Harmoniously, diplomaticaly, perfectly.</p>

<p>Rules the 7th hosue, the house of Marriage, the \&quot;other half\&quot; close relationships, open enemies and the legal process.</p>

<p>(sounds fun...May Divorce Be With You...Always. LOL.)</p>

<p>{Bloodgeon!}<br />
Uranus Libra Pluto Libra wow..,</p>

<p>OKay make up your mind Libra, lol</p>

<p>One side of my libra in chart says its Uranus4th house dirent in 25'17'10<br />
the other says Pluto and 3rd house direct and 6'01'20.<br />
Now hows that?</p>

<p>MonotarRach<br />
(disclaimer no one else who is not Libran will appreciate this and i am nuts )</p>

<p>Libran's see the beauty and cancel out all of non beauty as no longer existing</p>

<p>All things have a silver lining to this sunsign and they are very hard put to see anything else because what else is there?</p>

<p>For any Libra if they find something they 'love' they will never allow anything to come between them and their balance with this...tis a bane and tis a romantic ideal that most sunsigns avoid because it involves serious work<br />
Libra is definately the polar opposite of Aries who want it now<br />
(or better yesterday)<br />
Libra want it forever</p>

<p>{Bloodgeon!}<br />
My Libra aspects?</p>

<p>GLad you asked .</p>

<p>Uranus in Libra: UNconventional relationships, sudden affectins/repulsions.</p>

<p>Pluto in LIbra: Clinging to an outworn relationship out of fear of being unloveable, needs to face issues of commitment, emotional disappointments from disharmonious relatoinships, needs to trust love for what it is..,<br />
(ouch):S</p>

<p>{Bloodgeon!}<br />
I forgot to kick my Libra aspects around some more with the LIBRA IN URANUS oops well y'know?</p>

<p>Anyways, Self Reliant/SelfCentered, resists and rebels against responsibility and social standards.</p>

<p>Ngilah<br />
Libra<br />
The Myth:<br />
On the one hand, Librans cannot make their minds up about anything. On the other, they are extremely decisive. Or then again, perhaps not. It all depends on how you cut the cake. The traditional expectation though, is that Librans will cut that cake into exactly equal pieces and then share it generously with their friends. Or will they?</p>

<p>The Truth:<br />
Thankfully, Librans are not the dithering scatterbrains that some astrologers paint them as. Nor are they manically obsessed with equality. Nor, come to that, are they wishy-washy folk who can find a way to agree with anyone. They can, of course. Librans are famous for their charm. It is though, a bit of an affectation. Librans, actually, are argumentative. They love to play Devil's advocate and though like to look at situations and weigh them up, they are happy to accept an imbalance, as long as it is in their favour. On one point only are the old clich&eacute;s correct. Librans do like sharing.</p>

<p>The Key To Success:<br />
As a Libran, you are blessed with an ability to see both sides of every story. You suspect though, that you are also cursed with an inability to tell which side you prefer. Not so. When you feel unsure about something, there's always a good reason. Be less doubtful of your doubts and you'll have far more to celebrate in your future.</p>

<p>{Bloodgeon!}<br />
These posts are definite signs, of something better in Astrology, than</p>

<p>\&quot;Astracism\&quot;.</p>

<p>Signs dont make bad people, just bad people misrepresenting their signs along with people who think a few people can represent their signs and assume the sign is represented in the generalised perception.</p>

<p>(W..t...F was THAT!?! lmao.)</p>&quot;

<p>*Ask Rach sometime about \&quot;ProtectorHawk\&quot;, gawky bigchinned, nerdy hero type, protector pelican more like it. Libran and overstuffed with, what is that word for male heroism above and beyond the call of anything within reason?</p>

<p>{Persistent over-eating can denote Libran depression, but with their wiry constitutions, there is no reason why Librans should not occasionally indulge a sweet tooth. Balance is a key word for their health and general well being.}</p>

<p>But kool librans like Tinkerhell and a few of the other gals from there are a different story.*</p>&quot;

<p>Libra: The Inner You</p>

<p>You work hard trying to please others and as a result, they find you captivating. However, beneath your friendly exterior, you desperately long for love and approval. You have trouble saying no to others' requests and you take too many jobs or commitments--and then to prove how nice you are, you keep smiling through the strain while you hide a lot of resentment. It might be more useful to spend time building up your self-esteem rather than looking to others to give it to you. Basically, you give away your power. You hate anything unpleasant and avoid conflict, vulgarity, or strife. If life were a play, you'd always insist on a happy ending. The problem with trying to have constant peace and harmony is that you have trouble making decisions. At times you fear that any move you make will bring something terrible crashing down around you. If you could just lighten up and not be so hard on yourself, you'd be much more satisfied with what you do achieve. You have every ingredient for happiness!</p>&quot;

<b>Libra’s Amorous Combinations</b><br />
<br />
<b>Libra and Aries</b> While they’re immediately attracted to each other, tensions also immediately arise. Libra looks for harmony and peace, while restless Aries aggressively seeks new challenges and new worlds to conquer. Libra considers Aries rude and tactless; Aries thinks Libra is hopelessly unwilling to face facts. Aries needs to feel independent but wants unquestioning fidelity from its partner, and can’t forgive Libra’s indecisiveness about making a commitment. Passionate Aries is also offended by Libra’s shallow emotions. Physical rapport is wonderful for a while, but then what?<br />
<br />
<b>Libra and Taurus</b> This couple shares a love of music and art, but hasn’t much else in common. Taurus is homebody, which bores Libra, who likes to shine socially. Libra spends lots of money on luxuries; Taurus advocates financial caution. Libra dislikes Taurus’s dictatorial ways and quickly loses patience with Taurus’s stodgy attitude. To boot, Taurus is jealous of Libra’s romantic and fickle nature. They are sexually in tune, but when the song is ended the malady lingers on.<br />
<br />
<b>Libra and Gemini</b> Pleasure-loving Libra and high-spirited Gemini are an ideal mating. Both are curious, vivacious, and affectionate. For them, love is a carousel that never stops. True, the fun and games are more frolicsome than deeply passionate, but these two don’t care as long as they’re having fun. No jealousy or possessiveness will spoil their good times. Both tend to be quite indecisive, so there will be lots of discussion but not a lot of action. However, both know how to use charm to get other people to do things for them.<br />
<br />
<b>Libra and Cancer</b> Cancer might eventually understand Libra’s romantic nature, but Cancer is too cautious to press indecisive Libra for the emotional response it needs. Disappointed at Libra’s shallowness, Cancer turns sharply critical, and those crab-claws cut deep. Money-oriented Cancer is also annoyed by Libra’s extravagance. Libra loves the glittering social life; Cancer is happiest in the warmth of its own home. Problems might be solved in time, but the wait usually isn’t worth it.<br />
<br />
<b>Libra and Leo</b> Libra’s amorous playfulness blends marvelously with Leo’s dash and energy. Leo’s generous, expansive sensuality really lights Libra’s fire, and the thermometer moves up to torrid. Libra does have to approach Leo carefully on matters involving ego, but that won’t be a problem for tactful Libra. In a real conflict, Libra knows how to yield gracefully. Together they share a love for luxury, going to parties, and creating a beautiful home that serves as a stage set for these two stars.<br />
<br />
<b>Libra and Virgo</b> Libra is too affectionate and frivolous for emotionally inhibited Virgo, who takes love very seriously. Virgo won’t express flowery admiration, which is the stuff of life to Libra. Stay-at-home Virgo resents Libra’s social-butterfly instincts and pursuit of pleasure. Libra’s tastes are expensive. Virgo is careful, not to say miserly. Libra finds Virgo fussy, critical, completely inflexible. Love will have a short season for these two.<br />
<br />
<b>Libra and Libra</b> Equally demonstrative, lively, warm, sociable, in love with beautiful things, they enjoy pleasing each other in sexual ways. But with these two there’s a great sense of playing at love. A problem is that neither wants to face reality. Though they are charming, peace-loving, and adaptable, each needs a stronger balance than the other can provide. Also, because they are so much alike, the specter of boredom lurks around the edges. But if both of them can find enough outside stimulation to whet their appetites, this can be an interesting liaison.<br />
<br />
<b>Libra and Scorpio</b> At first, Scorpio’s intensity in love flatters Libra, who is always looking for any new form of attention. But Scorpio is also touchy, moody, and quick to lash out in anger, which is just the kind of person Libra cannot bear. Possessive Scorpio tries to control a lover, but Libra has a need for diversion and won’t stay in Scorpio’s net. Libra’s flirtatious and casual attitude towards sex infuriates sensual Scorpio. As Scorpio seethes and becomes steadily more jealous and demanding, Libra has either to submit or to leave.<br />
<br />
<b>Libra and Sagittarius</b> Libra is stimulated by Sagittarius’s eagerness for adventure, and Sagittarius is drawn to Libra’s affectionate charm. Both are highly romantic, though this quality is more dominant in Libra. Libra will want to settle down before flighty Sagittarius does, but they can work that out. Charming, clever Libra knows how to appeal to Sagittarius’s intellectual side and easily keeps Sagittarius intrigued. This pairing should develop into a fun-filled, free, delightful relationship.<br />
<br />
<b>Libra and Capricorn</b> Libra is drawn to Capricorn’s strong sexuality, but that’s as far as it goes. Libra needs flattery and attention, but Capricorn keeps its affections buried. Sentimental, in-love-with-love Libra won’t get much understanding from realistic, materialistic Capricorn. And Libra’s lazy, easygoing ways will offend Capricorn, who believes in hard work and achievement at any price. Libra is fond of socializing and nightlife, while Capricorn tends to be a loner, comfortable with only a chosen few. A short-lived romance.<br />
<br />
<b>Libra and Aquarius</b> Libra’s indolently sensual nature is stirred to life by Aquarius’s bold and experimental lovemaking. And these two have all the makings of a beautiful friendship: harmonious vibes in socializing, artistic interests, even in involvement in public affairs. These two will enjoy the friendship side of an affair as much as the romantic part. Indecisive Libra is delighted with the fact that quick-minded Aquarius likes to make decisions. With a satisfying love life and a mutual enjoyment of living, all signals are a go.<br />
<br />
<b>Libra and Pisces</b> They start off fine, since both are sentimental and affectionate. In a way they are alike. Both want to impose their romantic visions on reality. But Pisces needs domination, reassurance, and constant attention, and Libra soon finds that cloying and restrictive. Libra is gregarious and fun-loving. Pisces feels neglected, and whines and scolds. Pisces senses that Libra’s commitment is often insincere and that Libra’s charm is mostly superficial. Sexually, Libra has to take the lead and finds that most annoying.&quot;

Wait, wtf, is it or is it not? I think there's a typo on this thread title! I don't think there's anything between Libra and Scorpio and ... I have some checking to do.*</p>&quot;

Ngilah Sagittarius The Myth: Sagittarians, so they say, are bright, breezy, bouncy types who never let anything get them down. They are all \&quot;jolly-hockey-sticks\&quot;; totally tactless and insensitive but full of energy and enthusiasm. Supposedly, they love competitions, always look on the bright side, see everyone as a friend and are suspiciously fond of horses.The Truth: This is all a bit unfair. Sagittarians are perfectly capable of being grouchy and grumpy. They can summon plenty of lethargy and cynicism when they choose to. They can also be very delicate, diplomatic and deep. It's just that, because Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter - the planet of hope - they can never quite silence an inner voice of optimism. Events may reduce it to a whisper for a while but it always returns to a roar, the moment they spot a possible solution to a problem. Sagittarians are idealists who want everything to be wonderful. They are also extremists who hate half measures. For them, it's either gung ho or no go. And as for the horses? Only some of them, sometimes!The Key To Success: To be a Sagittarian is to be surrounded by serendipity. Rarely do you have to go in search of anything. It naturally comes to you. Or, at least, it does as long as you know the difference between trusting your luck and pushing your luck. When you strive, you stumble. When you make the most of what's on offer, you get magical results{Bloodgeon!} Beign married to this aspects it's niceto see the bright side of this sign</p>&quot;

<p>Sagittarius: The Inner You</p>

<p>Like Scarlett O'Hara, your motton is, \&quot;Tomorrow is another day.\&quot; Even in your darkest moods, you believe there's a light shining around the corner. Your confidence in the future is genuine, but you hate anything interfering with your plans. You have a hunger to experience life to its fullest--to travel, meet interesting people, and see things you've never seen before. Anything new sparks your interest. In fact, you'll usually say yes to a suggestion without weighing its merits simply because it lifts your spirits. And while you're not exactly a moody person, you are high-strung and can become irritable when you start to get bored. You may think no one cares about you or understands you when you're feeling this way, but luckily your belief that you're someone special always sees you through.</p>&quot;

<b>Sagittarius’s Amorous Combinations</b><br />
<br />
<b>Sagittarius and Aries</b> Both share a similar approach to sex (they make the most of <i>every</i> opportunity). Add to this a mutual love of the outdoors and a fondness for socializing, and you can see why they get along. They’re also intellectually well suited: Both have a wide range of interests and love to talk about them. Sagittarius is more philosophical about problems than Aries, who becomes more personally involved. The one question mark is their combustible temper. Arguments are heated but short-lived, and the making up will be fun. A perfect match.<br />
<br />
<b>Sagittarius and Taurus</b> Taurus wants to run things, but Sagittarius won’t be controlled. Sagittarius needs change, variety, and adventure. That proves irritating to steady, disciplined, home-loving Taurus. Taurus approves of tried-and-true ways of doing things, but Sagittarius will try anything. Blunt Sagittarius will say what it thinks at the drop of a hat, and that brings Taurus’s temper to a slow simmer. There are also money problems, since Sagittarius gambles today while Taurus hoards for tomorrow. A short future for this pair.<br />
<br />
<b>Sagittarius and Gemini</b> They’re both restless, adventuresome, imaginative, and fun-loving. No other opposite signs in the zodiac enjoy each other more than these two. There’ll be shooting stars in the bedroom for a while, but when the fireworks fizzle the bickering begins. Both have bright minds, but Sagittarius is out-spoken and bossy, while Gemini likes to poke verbal fun. Too rootless and discontent to settle down, they eventually both succumb to the siren call of other interests, other loves. But parting should be amicable.<br />
<br />
<b>Sagittarius and Cancer</b> Cancer’s sensuality and romantic imagination intrigues inquiring Sagittarius. But Sagittarius is both venturesome and cerebral while Cancer is cautious and emotional, and this pair will never understand each other. Sagittarius can’t supply the security and stability Cancer needs or endure Cancer’s moodiness and jealousy. Without even being aware of it, blunt Sagittarius wounds sensitive Cancer at every turn. When Sagittarius seeks outside stimulation away from home, Cancer nags and whines and tries to hold on tighter. They’d be better as friends.<br />
<br />
<b>Sagittarius and Leo</b> There are exciting times ahead for this ardent pair. Self-confident Leo holds the key to unlocking Sagittarius’s deeper passions, and their love life is an adventure. They also enjoy travel, meeting new people, and each other’s company. Leo loves freedom as much as Sagittarius, so there won’t be problems with jealousy or possessiveness. Sagittarius has the lightness of touch necessary to cope with Leo’s monumental ego. A grand mating.<br />
<br />
<b>Sagittarius and Virgo</b> Shy, reticent Virgo can’t take the initiative, which makes Sagittarius think Virgo is prudish. Both have intellectual leanings, so they may end up having some interesting conversations in bed. Elsewhere, Virgo looks for order and simplicity whereas Sagittarius looks for excitement and new experiences. Virgo wants a long-term commitment; Sagittarius has to be free to roam. Sagittarius’s slapdash ways irritate meticulous Virgo. When Virgo carps and criticizes this is sometimes a way of showing it cares, but Sagittarius will never understand that. Little bodes well in this affair.<br />
<br />
<b>Sagittarius and Libra</b> Sagittarius is charmed by Libra’s artistic, elegant, easygoing nature, and Libra is fascinated by Sagittarius’s lust for adventure. Libra is more romantic than Sagittarius; otherwise the sexual harmony is delightful. Libra casts a tolerant eye on Sagittarius’s frolicking, and may even slow down Sagittarius’s pace, for Libra knows how to turn on sensual charm. Libra loves home and luxury, and Sagittarius prefers the outdoor life. But Librans are artists at working out such problems.<br />
<br />
<b>Sagittarius and Scorpio</b> Scorpio tries to clip Sagittarius’s wings and keep it in a cage. Brooding, pent-up Scorpio just can’t deal with open, ebullient, outspoken Sagittarius. Sagittarius’s far-roaming interests constantly make Scorpio jealous. Romantically, this is a volatile combination. Sagittarius is playful about sex and finds Scorpio’s intense, dominating passions too much to cope with. Soon Sagittarius’s inclination is to fly. Sagittarius is also quick-tempered and cools quickly, while Scorpio’s anger seethes until it erupts in fury. A temperamental, difficult union.<br />
<br />
<b>Sagittarius and Sagittarius</b> Some astrologers believe the only fit mate for a Sagittarian is another Sagittarian. They do seem perfectly suited: two independent, freedom-loving roamers. But this exciting, chaotic, eventful relationship is too unpredictable to suit either of them. They have a tendency to bring out the worst in each other. Each remains uncommitted and has so many outside interests that this pair inevitably drifts apart. But they’ll be good sports when the fun is over.<br />
<br />
<b>Sagittarius and Capricorn</b> Capricorn’s demands can’t be satisfied by Sagittarius’s flighty, lighthearted approach to love. Both have high aspirations in life, but their approaches are totally different. Capricorn wants to climb to the top of the mountain; Sagittarius wants to fly over the top. Sagittarius’s frank outspoken nature is sure to rile Capricorn’s sensibilities. Capricorn is restrictive, a loner, known for its dour outlook. Sagittarius is venturesome, sociable, and expansive. Capricorn is cautious with money and concerned with appearances—and Sagittarius is neither. Both should look elsewhere.<br />
<br />
<b>Sagittarius and Aquarius</b> These two share a great zest for living and a forward-looking viewpoint. Neither will try to tie down the other. Both seek to explore possibilities to the fullest, and they share an idealism about love and life. Aquarius is innovative, Sagittarius loves to experiment. There’ll be imaginative fun in the bedroom, and they’ll probably find out things that would surprise even Masters and Johnson. They’ll like each other too. True emotional intimacy may be slower to develop—but prospects are wonderful for the long-haul.<br />
<br />
<b>Sagittarius and Pisces</b> Pisces is drawn to Sagittarius’s life-force, and Sagittarius is attracted to Pisces’s spirituality. But Sagittarius needs a pal and Pisces needs a dream lover—and neither can help the other. Sagittarius’s naturally buoyant spirits are anchored by Pisces’s dependency and timidity. Highly emotional Pisces is looking for more than an occasional sex partner, and restless, freedom-loving Sagittarius is looking for nothing but. Bedroom high jinks keep things going for a while, but this affair slowly sinks into a quagmire.&quot;

People born under the sign of Scorpio are especially attracted to Occultism and Deviltry.and what better form of Deviltry, among others of course, is the Internet.

Quote:<br />
THE BRIGHT SIDE: Although they often get bad press astrologically, Scorpios have very intense personalities with hidden depths of perspacity and a compassion which reqaches out to troubled people, even though this may not always show on the surface. Being deeply troubled themselves, Scorpios understand and accept the feelings and pain that other signs find they cannot handle.</p>

<p>Now that's where other signs find us either likeable or hate-able, on example, we can seem compassionate, but also cruel when we dont get wy other signs complain or wallow in the guilt and sorrow we've dealt with at our Scorpio levels.</p>

Actually, there is:Scorpio is not afraid to go into darkness, so this sign makes an ideal therapist, and many doctors and surgeons are Scorpios, using their incisive skills in constructive ways. Scorpios also have incredible personal magnetism and can be ver loyal as friends or lovers.The dark side is Scorpios have a hidden and secretive side and are not averse their very deep understanding of people for their own ends- usually directed toward gaining power.</p>

<p>Scorpio's steely gaze can penetrate to your very core.<br />

Welll, not really fooled, Scorpio well, here goes:</p>

<p>They may be cool on te surface, but underneath, scorpios are very passionate. Both physically and emotionally. WEN LOVE IS SWEET, they are very loyal. but when things go wrong they may show the sting of their tail.</p>

ALLEGIANCE: PREDACON<br />
FIRST APPEARANCE: Beast Wars, season 1, episode 1<br />
FUNCTION: DESERT ATTACK COMMANDER<br />
The searing summer heat of the Mojave desert turns into a dry barren wasteland.   A place where only the strong survive.   A place the vicious Scorponok calls home.  With hidden robotic technology incorporated into its scorpion  body structure, this desert attack specialist surprises enemies 3 different ways: by launching its robotic bee; firing a 2 shot missile blast; and by using its terrifying tail for poisonous cyber strikes!</p>

Hmmn okay all the various comment seem nearly close to the mark except all you guys left out the Scorpion tendency to attack yourself when the chips are down and there isn't anyone you can definitely blame for it<br />

<p>The Mother Confesses<br />
Well - ok - I thought I should add a</p>

<p>Not sure how to add pictures etc, so I'll just put a little bit about Scorpions...</p>

<p>Scorpio men are either very handsome<br />
or very ugly.</p>

<p>Scorpio women have a special look straight away.</p>

<p>Scorpios have hypnotic eyes that stare straight into your brain and see all your most private thoughts and rudest secrets.</p>

<p>Scorpios will do anything to be the best. They hate weedy people and they always get what they want.</p>

<p>They are also sneaky and mysterious and they love thinking up cunning plans.</p>

<p>Special Tip: You can always trust a Scorpio to keep safe all your secrets.</p>

<p>Scorpios are difficult to make friends with because:</p>

<p>1.) They are suspicious of strangers, and</p>

<p>2.) They hate being told when they are wrong.</p>

<p>Scorpios find it hard to talk about what they're feeling inside.</p>

<p>Warning: Scorpios love revenge so if you ever do it with anyone else they will chase after you and chop off your bits.</p>

<p>Scorpios find falling in love difficult but once they start, they will love you forever and ever.</p>

<p>Scorpios are crazy about rude ___ because it lets out all their bottled up feelings.</p>

<p>Scorpio's First Rule: Never Trust Anyone</p>

<p>Scorpio's Second Rule: Never Let Your Guard Down</p>

<p>Warning: Scorpios can suddenly feel like doing it at the strangest moments.</p>

<p>Scorpios love flirting and talking about all sorts of rude things.<br />
hehehehe</p>

What does a Scorpio do on Halloween?<br />
isn't in it for the candy</p>

<p>{Bloodgeon!}<br />
Here's my personal fave!</p>

<p>Who keeps an arrow in his bow, if you prod he lets it go! A fervent friend, a subtle foe- that's Scorpio!</p>

<p>(But that arrow bit is more Saggitarian.. Oh well I give up, just gonna type the stuff now.)</p>

<p>Symbol: The scorpion</p>

<p>Element: water<br />
(Which is interesting because Scorpions evolved from ancient critters closely resembling them and measuring five foot long. Giant water scorps, how did the Greeks know Water was elemented to us?)</p>

<p>Quality: Fixed</p>

<p>Rulers: Pluto, Mars. (Both?)</p>

<p>Colour: Deep red</p>

<p>Gemstone: Opal</p>

<p>Metal: Steel (...?..)</p>

<p>Perfume: Saimese (Siamese?) Benzoin. (Which is kinda sounds like related to Sodium Benzoate, which is used to put Animals to sleep... Niiice, see Scorps get all the floweries..)</p>

<p>Keywords: Intensively, penetrating, secretively.</p>

<p>Rulesthe 8th house which be all of procxreation, birth death sex rebirth, mysteries, the occult, hidden meanings.</p>

<p>(Thought here also, might Scorpio's tail, unusual for most arachnids had given it it's \&quot;phallic\&quot; and \&quot;Sex\&quot; associations?)</p>

Testing Scorpio Coloration!</p>

<p>teritales<br />
hi Scorpions lol just thought i'd share something with all ya that i have copied from the taurus thread wanted to make sure it wasn't overlooked ya know ......lol</p>

<p>One more thing, Taurus... Scorpio most often gets the nod for being the \&quot;sex sign.\&quot; But we both know a little secret (don't we). The earth sign<br />
Taurus is specifically associated with survival \&quot;through awareness of the senses.\&quot; Associated with the garden of paradise... Taurus reflects a childlike innocence and naivet&eacute; concerning the senses and the fulfillment of instinctual sexual needs. Barring other factors in the chart - of all the signs, you feel the strongest instinctual urge and need for touching and caressing. When it comes down to experiencing pure unbridled physical pleasure and sensuality, Taurus is often in a category all its own.</p>&quot;

<p>{Bloodgeon!}<br />
Hmmm kind of yeah, but not frightening scary, most of the astrology I've run across has been so vague and generalised you can pick and choose fromteh total reading and find traits you think of yourself as being.</p>

<p>MonotarRach<br />
True enough of everything in the long run after all that tends to be how everyone stumbles upon an 'opinion' dissecting everything and coming up with how it suits them at the time</p>

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)<br />
Your October Horoscope by Susan Miller</p>

<p>Scorpio is an assertive, energetic sign that gets frustrated by nothing more than being held back by a series of delays and postponements. That was the case in August and September, but October will bring a bright new day. Mars, one of your two rulers, as well as Mercury was retrograde, but both moved forward with a bolt at the end of September. You can now breathe a sigh of relief. If you felt nothing was clicking into place last month, have heart; it will be just the opposite in October, especially at month's end. Your social life will perk up and financial deals that were stymied will start to move forward.</p>

<p>You are probably chomping at the bit, but you still have to refine and polish your plans until they are ready to show to higher-ups and others. Plans for your personal life still need to be better organized before you launch them, so don't be too hasty now that the barriers to progress are falling. The Sun is currently moving through your twelfth house, a place in your chart considered to be perfect for contemplation and strategic planning but not action. So, take it slow and steady.</p>

<p>Your big moment to unveil your plans will come on the annual new moon in Scorpio on October 25.</p>

<p>(Is'nt that what I'm doing with all these darn horoscope posts?~Editor, lol.)</p>

<p>That new moon will throw the spotlight on you, exactly what you need to get your dream heard and realized. (If you can't get others' attention, nothing much happens; that's not just astrology, but one of the rules of the universe.) This new moon will send a wink to Uranus, which means some out-of-the-blue news or opportunity will set your spirits soaring.</p>

<p>Just don't wait for your phone to ring with news. To enlarge the power of this moon, you will need to cast a wide net and show the universe where you'd like to see your luck occur. A new moon in one's own birth sign is a true cosmic gift, for it allows you to choose to direct its powerful energies any way you please. It is not operative for just one day but for two weeks, giving plenty of time to take action.</p>

<p>You are particularly lucky this year, because not only will you have the new moon and Sun in Scorpio, but also Venus and Mercury. This buildup of cosmic energy will give you considerable clout at month's end. If you are saying, \&quot;If I tried, I couldn't even have gotten arrested last month!\&quot; Well, that will change now.</p>

<p>(Don't take me literally!)</p>

<p>Where do you want to put your energies? Ask yourself, \&quot;If I could make just one change in my life, a change that would alleviate much of the stress I feel, what would it be?\&quot; That's the area where you need to see progress, and that's where you should put your focus this month.</p>

<p>You have almost all of October to decide exactly which steps you will take.</p>

<p>Remember the plan: We plant seeds on the new moon in our sign and reap the benefits on a full moon in our sign. In this case, the new moon in Scorpio will be October 25, and the next full moon in Scorpio will occur on May 4, 2004, a powerful eclipse. You have six months to affect change &mdash; and it's all very do-able. If your plan is complex and perhaps a bit overwhelming, then break it into smaller pieces and work on each phase in a step-by-step process. Plan to have phase-one done by May. Knowing there will be an eclipse in your sign in six months is knowing that the universe will certainly help you make your transition.</p>

<p>With all this thinking and reflecting, it doesn't mean October will be exactly quiet &mdash; far from it!</p>

<p>A case in point will come with the full moon on Friday, October 10, which should be positive but possibly a bit strenuous. It seems you may have to concentrate on finishing up a rather large assignment within four days of that full moon.</p>

<p>Luckily, full moons bring out lots of team spirit, so your co-workers will be working hard alongside you. You can count on them to pull though. Saturn is in a hard angle to this full moon, so it's apparent that the job at hand is arduous. Legal advice may be needed, or you may be dealing with a difficult-to-please client based at a distant city (even possibly abroad). You can handle it, so don't be concerned, but this full moon could make you spread your energies thin. Protect against flu and colds.</p>

<p>Speaking of health, the full moon on October 10 will send its spotlight into your sixth house, so you may be getting medical test results back, or you may finally go for that checkup you've been meaning to schedule. This would be the perfect time to do so. If you don't do some preventative care, your body will begin to squeak to let you know it wants some attention! Take care of dental and eye exams, too.</p>

<p>Career and real estate matters will both be lit up on one gorgeous day that should brim with opportunity and happy coincidence<br />
&mdash; October 22. You may hear good news on either front, take the initiative by scheduling an important appointment, meeting or presentation on this stellar day.</p>

<p>Ngilah<br />
Creatively, this will be a very strong month. If you have had a block to get over &mdash; if you just couldn't think of any original ideas &mdash; that all will change in October. The creative cycle is said to refresh itself every 90 minutes, so on a good day (say, October 3, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 25-31), reserve some time to devote to your craft. Stay with your project for at least 90 minutes to allow your breakthrough to occur, as you won't know where you are in your cycle when you start. Do so, and you should see some impressive results this month.</p>

<p>Socially, things are about to rocket forward. Mars has been in your house of true love since June, but at the end of July Mars began retrograding and your love life seemed to stall. Thankfully, Mars moved forward again at the very end of September, opening up October for you in a big way.<br />
Helping matters will be Venus' move into Scorpio for her annual visit to your sign on October 9, to stay until November 2. That's more than enough time to help you find new love or boost an established relationship to more passionate heights. This period would also be the perfect time to schedule a new look &mdash; get your hair styled or colored and shop for new things to wear.</p>

<p>One of your best romantic nights will be when Venus and Mars waltz across the midnight sky on October 10, the same night as that full moon. This will be a great day for singles, because when these planets are involved the sparks of new love are always present.</p>

<p>Attached Scorpios will enjoy this night too because, as said, Venus will be in Scorpio and her lover Mars will be in fellow water-sign Pisces, currently lighting your house of true love. This is a divine combination for you! Mark this red-letter day!</p>

<p>You will have another special romantic day on Saturday, October 18, when Venus in Scorpio will make a cosmic phone call to Jupiter, the planet of good fortune. This will be an extraordinary day because Jupiter will be positioned in your eleventh house of friends, fun, hopes and wishes. Put a gold star on this day!</p>

<p>Couples who want a baby but for some reason tabled that decision over the past two months may now decide it's a great idea after all. The new moon in Scorpio on October 25 could be the perfect time to try for conception.</p>

<p>(Remember, you will have two weeks of energy from that date. Hopefully that will work with your &mdash; or your wife's &mdash; conception cycle.)</p>

<p>At month's end at October 30, when the Sun and Mars will be so perfectly angled, love will bloom. You will feel very confident, and that may be the most potent and sexy weapon you have. If invited to a Halloween party, go!</p>

  SCORPIO! Oct. 23 - Nov. 21.</p>

<p>Ngilah<br />
Scorpio + Virgo<br />
Your Virgo lover is good for you, Scorpio. Virgos are patient, kind, industrious, and wouldn't dream of being too demanding. You want control, and they will give it to you if it makes you happy. Your Virgo lover is basically reserved, and your strong-yet-gentle love will thrill them. You will adore the solid grounding they bring to your live, especially when your water-sign emotions get stormy. Your lover will calm your inner seas, soothe your savage breast, and point out the practical solutions right in front of you. Virgo will not squander your money or compete with you for material gains. Your Virgo will be content with what you have together.<br />
Virgos are organized and work very hard -- so do you -- so your lover will earn your highest respect. Virgos are very verbal, which can seem a little much to silent Scorpio at times (who won't always respond Virgo's criticism very well), but perhaps it's good that one of you is a communicator. Sometimes we marry someone exactly like the person we wish we were.<br />
Sexually, Virgos are very aware of their bodies and will revel in your masterful lovemaking. Virgos are refined, however, so don't become a wild animal the first few times you go to bed together or your lover will think you are a bit perverted -- lighten up! Trust that Virgo's earthy nature will provide all the sensuality and lustiness you crave. No, Virgo doesn't have your ability to scale the mountain tops of spirituality or dive to the emotional depths of the sea of love; your highs and lows are more extreme. Yet, Virgo's more level approach to life and love, in time, may prove to be incredibly appealing to you.<br />
Ngilah<br />
Scorpio + Libra<br />
You are a bundle of profound feelings and emotions, but your lover is analytical and brainy; Libras are social but you, Scorpio, are a loner. Can you find true love with a Libra? Maybe, but it will be a stretch.<br />
The Libra penchant to socialize will be hard on your nerves. You can't understand why your Libra needs to be out or on the phone all the time. Worse, your Libra will want you to be out too, socializing at his or her side. Libra is the natural sign of marriage, so Libras love being a couple, and miss their partners when they're apart. Sometimes you'll be with your Libra, but still a million miles away in your thoughts. Libra will keep wanting to drag you out of your shell. Then there is the matter of all the talking and conversation Libras love. Some nights you won't want to murmur a word, which Libra will find hard to fathom. All this fuss could feel claustrophobic to such an intensely private sign as yourself.<br />
Libras likes to hold the power over a particular area in the relationship. If this area conflicts with a part of life you want to control, there could be a conflict. Libra wants absolute fairness, everything even-Steven, which repels you. Face it: at times you want what you want, and will expect to get it without any flak. In fact, you don't want to have to explain your actions and feelings at all. You may ask yourself: isn't expressing my needs enough? Apparently not. You also aren't sure why Libra's opinions waffle so much -- your opinions are strong and clear. Libras keep wanting to get more information before they make a final decision.<br />
Things go great in bed, however, which is why you may be so powerfully drawn to your Libra. Your lover is elegant, refined, and open to what you want to do. Libra is ruled by Venus, your ruler is Mars, so there is a special astrological attraction between you. Those two planets have been called The Celestial Lovers, so you could experience amazing compatibility. This is true for both sexes, however female Libras have especially strong affinity here, for they adore being caught up in powerful and masterful Scorpio seductions. But Scorpio women, do remember: if you are with a male Libra, engage him, embrace him, entice and enchant him. Men love to be seduced just as much as women do.<br />
At the end of the day, you will still have to cope with your basically different lifestyles. With you, your Libra may start to feel like he or she is single again, increasingly going out alone. Libras don't share Scorpio's obsession with fidelity when they are unhappy -- you'll have a problem if Libra becomes lonely and vulnerable on someone else's shoulder. You will have to change your ways -- but when you truly love someone, anything is possible.</p>

<p>Ngilah<br />
Scorpio + Scorpio<br />
Wow! In some of the astrology textbooks, a Scorpio in love with a Scorpio is a pretty potent brew! Do the two of you ever get out of bed? Talk about a nuclear reaction! This relationship is a firecracker, and all of it is powerfully good. You both are physical, emotional, and expressive. Your feelings run very strong and deep. Together you build a circle of love around you that the outside world simply cannot penetrate.<br />
The trouble here is that both of you can get a bit possessive -- so in the early stages, you may be monitoring each other's comings and goings quite closely. You each like to know more about the other than you'll tell about yourself, but you can't get away with that here. You've met your match; your soul mate knows all your instincts and hot buttons. You both are intuitive and compassionate, which is wonderful because your emotional foundation together will be strong. In this relationship, you lovers communicate without speaking, by using your uncommonly expressive eyes. With a wink, a glance, or a gaze, you can transmit paragraphs of information.<br />
Go ahead, for this could be the love of your life. You want intensity, and you've got it with this lover.</p>

<p>Ngilah<br />
Scorpio,+ Sagittarius<br />
Before you go any further -- wait! Think about this very carefully, Sagittarius. Perhaps it was the mysterious aura, or the powerful sexuality that drew you initially to your Scorpio lover. Or perhaps it was his or her depth of feeling and passion for life, which is unmatched by anyone else you've met. As a Sadge, you bring lively conversation to this union, as well as the love of travel and serious study. You will introduce your Scorpio to all kinds of successful people, and your lover will be thrilled and stimulated by your influence in his or her life. There has probably been more than one night when you two stayed up until the wee hours, discussing the meaning of life over coffee.<br />
But there will be problems. You may be sucked down by the undertow of the sensationally good sex, but it comes with a price -- and you of all signs will be unwilling to pay it. Scorpios are highly possessive, intense, and even jealous at times. They want to become one with you, for eternity. Your sign, however, is the sign of the bachelor (male or female). Why? Because Sagittarians prize freedom of movement and a firm, separate identity above all else. Commitment does not come easily to you. Scorpio will accuse you of skimming over the surface of life, never really drilling down to the core. You might even agree with this -- you aren't too interested in experiencing all the rings in Dante's inferno. Your Scorpio lover is going to turn out to be high maintenance and the question is, are you up to it?<br />
Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius is a happy sign, and paired with such an intense sign as Scorpio can be claustrophobic at times. And then there will be those lover's quarrels! Are you ready for the gloomy silences? You may go for days without speaking or acknowledgement, and there may be hours of feeling guilty for something you aren't quite sure you even did.<br />
Yes? Well, then, go for it! Nothing in this life is perfect, and if you love your Scorpio, know that he or she will give you the kind of fidelity that you only used to dream was possible. Your Scorpio will adore you every day of your life. When they commit they commit with a near-obsession. And then, of course, there's the amazing sex you'll have...<br />
Sometimes the most interesting relationships develop when opposites attract. You're intense and shrewdly realistic, able to see through people' hidden agendas in the blink of an eye. Sagittarius are all sunny optimism, and hopelessly impressionable. This is a hard mix, because you are a fixed (somewhat intractable) water sign in love with a mutable (flexible) fire sign. If your lover's water element doesn't put out the fire in your relationship early on, you stand a good chance of success.<br />
Primarily an intellectual sign, Sagittarius do not have your capacity for deep emotions and passion, nor your sharp intuition. They see themselves as basically objective and rational, but you understand that facts can be deceptive. You trust your gut instincts implicitly, but still you don't want to be put in the position of having to justify your instinct-based conclusions.<br />
Sagittarius are very communicative -- virtual chatterboxes -- and they adore intellectual debates, no matter which side of the question they're on. You find all this talk wearing. If you wanted to debate everything you'd be on Crossfire or Meet the Press. But Sadges watch the Discovery Channel for kicks. Good grief! That's entertainment? While Sagittarius fantasizes about taking a trek through Africa, you just want to chill out in your hammock at home. You'd rather unwind in front of an action drama, a murder mystery, or even the Playboy channel. But these low-brow flights of fantasy make Sagittarius leave the room in disgust. The TV remote control wars begin -- troubles, troubles.<br />
And it gets worse: being a water sign, you are compassionate, but Sadges are brutally honest. Your lover's comments roll over you on occasion with the subtlety of a tank; while you can take constructive, sensitive feedback, you bristle at Sadge's style. You want to get married, Sadge isn't ready. Sagittarius will delay commitment as long as possible, for they have bigger things to do first. Sexually, they want a light touch without all the opera.<br />
Okay, okay, I have laid it on rather thick. I see you're disappointed. I can hear you protest that you love your Sadge. Perhaps you have a lot of fire and air in your chart, which would make this union work. My advice is to know one another well before you make plans for the future. Stay together for at least a few years. What if you already know you love him or her? Then hang on. You may be relishing the differences that would drive other couples apart.</p>

<p>Ngilah<br />
Scorpio + Capricorn<br />
This pairing gets two enthusiastic thumbs up! Your Capricorn sweetheart has big career ambitions, and you can relate to that well. Scorpio is the sign of obsession, so you think it's odd when someone doesn't have something he or she is passionate about. You will enthusiastically support your lover's goals and offer him or her savvy advice about everything from corporate politics to financial investments. Security is important to you both, so there is no conflict on that score. You are particularly talented with negotiation, so your lover will gain much from your street-smart, intuitive take on situations that will arise during his or her quest for success. You will like Capricorn's realism and firm grounding, which will anchor you emotionally.<br />
Capricorns are known workaholics, but your lover will appreciate your efforts to turn his or her attention away from the office once in a while. Sexy Scorpio has absolutely no trouble doing that! The two of you vibrate perfectly to the same sexual frequency, and so you are likely to feel deeply satisfied on a physical and emotional level. Earth signs are in touch with their bodies and highly tactile, so they enjoy lusty sex.<br />
There may be times you wish your lover had the emotional capacity to go into the depths of your soul, but few signs could ever reach the levels that you reach without even trying. Your spectrum of feelings is broader and deeper than most signs -- your lows are lower, your highs are higher. But even though your lover isn't built the way you are, Capricorn will be awestruck by how cherished he or she feels with you and will return this love to you in full. As you fall deeper in love you will demand complete fidelity, but Capricorn will commit easily and freely to you.<br />
Your lover is an earth sign, you are water, and the mix is likely to produce a wonderful new beginning in your life. Proceed!</p>

<p>Ngilah<br />
Scorpio + Aquarius<br />
Aquarius' high-brow intellect and breathtaking view of the future is sure to draw you closer in the very early stages of your relationship. Still, this pairing is a hard one to maintain -- Aquarius likes loose emotional bonds, and you're just the opposite. As a Scorpio, you are a virtual ball of warm emotion and attentiveness, but your Aquarius lover may not know what to make of your mixture of passion and obsession. Aquarians are known to pride themselves on their cool objectivity. \&quot;Why can't Aquarius feel more?\&quot; you may ask yourself. In turn, Aquarius will wonder why you can't trust the facts right in front of you, and rely less on your intuition. You will bristle up at having to explain yourself.</p>&quot;

<p>Indeed, Scorpio has a fascinatin with power, how to use it, how to master it, and how to hold it over people. At times, this can extend to extreme cruelty, for Scorpio is a Vindictive, brooding sign which never forgets a grudge. Scorpio can also have an inner self-destruct button that ispushed compulsively from tiem to time.</p>&quot;

<p>The Scorpion King</p>

<p>Sex, swordplay and stupidity.</p>

<p>The three S's of a fine movie-going experience come together in this spring's sweatiest fun-in-the-sun pic, The Scorpion King.</p>

<p>The Scorpion King is a prequel to the recent Mummy movies in much the same way that Ice Age was a prequel to Waterworld. It's not.</p>

<p>See, once upon a summer blockbuster there was this successful film called The Mummy. It spawned an equally successful sequel called The Mummy Returns. The Mummy Returns began with a prologue describing some pro-wrestler who made a deal with a God, bit a desert scorpion in half and became an immortal heavy. Now we have the two-hour epic story of said bug-eater, and it actually has nothing whatsoever to do with the five minutes of footage we saw in The Mummy Returns. All it has in common is the name, and the actor.</p>

<p>Which is all it really cares about.</p>

<p>The Scorpion King (the movie, not the prologue) is about this big warrior named Maa..Matry.. Maamaa.. let's just call him The Rock. 5,000 years ago, give or take a month, The Rock is hired by a bunch of downtrodden pro-wrestlers and football cheerleaders to assassinate a sorceress named ... named... let's call her Hot Naked Chick. The idea is that if The Rock kills Hot Naked Chick then the bad guy, named...Mem...Mnem.. Mepp... let's call him Bad Guy, will be defeated in battle.</p>

<p>Raise your hand if you think The Rock is going to kill Hot Naked Chick.</p>

<p>Now raise your hand if you think The Rock is going to sleep with Hot Naked Chick and kill Bad Guy instead.</p>

<p>So while the rest of us sit and wait for The Rock to figure this out, we get to spend a great deal of time running around in the desert, looking at all the pretty, pretty people. Apparently, ugly people hadn't yet been invented 5,000 years ago. Who knew?</p>

<p>If you think The Scorpion King is anything other than eye candy, a Conan for the 21st Century, you're an idiot. And even comparing it to Conan is a bit of a stretch. While Arnold became a star by grunting and looking upset, The Rock is going to become a star by flexing, smiling, and charming the chainmail thongs off of everyone in upper Egypt.</p>

<p>This is The Rock's coming out party, and you're all invited. Pop open a brew, kick your legs up and cheer.</p>

<p>The Rock's first line, delivered while holding a ridiculously over-sized crossbow with about twenty arrows lined up on it, is simply \&quot;Boo.\&quot;</p>

<p>It pretty much stays there for the entire film.</p>

<p>Why is this guy the Scorpion King?</p>

<p>Well, in The Mummy Returns, he became The Scorpion King by one-upping the Survivor Food Challenges and eating a live, poisonous scorpion. In this movie, he becomes the Scorpion King by... well... by.. well... actually, he never does become The Scorpion King. Hope I haven't ruined anything for you. The symbol of The Scorpion King, carried over from the previous movie is actually used by Bad Guy.</p>

<p>Who calls himself King. And keeps pet Scorpions. Which, stop me if I'm crazy, kinda makes me wonder if Bad Guy is actually The Scorpion King while The Rock is... well.. The Rock.<br />
Like it matters - we're here for the action and booty, right?</p>

<p>Plenty of booty. At one point, a bunch of scantily-clad revelers break out their best Britney Spears moves. Hot Naked Chick is incredibly hot, and in one chase sequence, actually naked. And there are other female warriors, each of whom ascribe to the 'stand suggestively, jiggle booty, slash with sword, repeat' philosophy of fighting. And not to be sexist, there are tons and tons of very hot, sexy, naked men as well. A feast for the eyes of all.</p>

<p>And then there's the action.</p>

<p>Surprisingly, for a film that is basically a spin-off of one of the largest CGI franchises in recent history, there isn't a lot of CGI. No magic. No monsters. No mummies. Men and women, wearing a wonderfully diverse collection of trashy lingerie, attack each other with swords, arrows and their fists. As if that isn't enough, a couple of the extended fight sequences are, truth be told, nothing more than costumed versions of WWF Smackdown. After all, let's not forget where our hero comes from. He may be the next big thing.</p>

<p>He may be a charming, fun personality whom we can't help but want to watch.<br />
But strip away his clothes (not a difficult task) and he's still headlining RAW Is WAR.</p>

<p>When all is said and done, is this a good movie? Hell no. Is it a good film to rent, drink beer and taunt?</p>

<p>Hell yes. They fight, they stand around waiting to fight, they glisten with sweat under the hot sun. The only thing it's missing is a gratuitous bathing scene. Oh wait, it has that, too.<br />

<p>Aqrn shakes her head at the insanity of it!</p>

<p><br />
Scorpio Compatibility</p>

<p>SCORPIO goes with Taurus, Cancer, Virgo and Capricorn. (Best match is Capricorn)</p>

<p>Best Match For Scorpio Is Capricorn<br />
These two can not only understand one another extremely well, but can actually match sensitivities and emotions, almost (if not actually) on a psychic level. A very long lasting relationship, these two seldom ever break up.</p>

<p>Worst Match For Scorpio is Aries<br />
The somewhat possessive Scorpio will never go for the love them and leave them attitude that Aries sometimes seems to exhibit. It's not that Aries are immoral, it is just that they give this impression too often to get along for great periods with the Scorpio. Also, the \&quot;depth\&quot; of Scorpio is somewhat foreign to Aries.</p>

<p>{I have nothing healthwise to report for the scorpios except that their extreme psychosomatic nature and intense feelings of attraction will draw them to people or draw people to them. Unacted upon urges can build up and manifest as headaches, mood irritation, etc.}</p>

<p>Hmmm, Zag is a Cappy, but well, he'd look horrible in a blue velvet miniskirt, let's just leave it at that, lol*</p>&quot;

<p>Scorpio: The Inner You</p>

<p>You have great strength, determination, and willpower. But no matter how calm and cool you appear on the outside, you've got a well of seething emotions underneath. For the most part, though, you keep your intensity under control by channeling it into useful activities. You're a high achiever, and you seem to \&quot;get\&quot; things in a flash--with powerful psychic feelings you've learned to trust. Your instincts tell you that you're destined to do something important and you're not going to let yourself fail along the way. When you latch on to a new opportunity, you explore it in great depth before going ahead. Deep inside you is a gladiator spirit, and if you channel this fighting energy into positive goals (your continuing lesson), you will always be one of life's great winners. At times, however, you feel you are a lone warrior in a harsh world. You're a complex person who can't always express how you feel, but one thing is certain: The things you want, you want badly.</p>&quot;

<p>I've told you this once before can't control me<br />
If you try to take me down you're gonna break<br />
I feel your having nothing that you're doing for me<br />
I'm thinkin you are a fake, you are that way<br />
I stand alone<br />
Inside I stand alone<br />
You're always hiding behind your so called goddess<br />
So what you don't think that we can't see your face<br />
Resurrecting back before the final fallen<br />
I'll never rest until I can make my own way<br />
I'm not afraid of fading<br />
I stand alone<br />
Feeling your sting down inside me<br />
I'm not tired forever<br />
I stand alone<br />
Everything that I believe is fading<br />
I stand alone<br />
Inside I stand alone<br />
Now it's my time<br />
It's my time to dream<br />
Dream of the sky<br />
Make me believe that this place isn't made by the poison in me<br />
Help me decide if my fire will burn out before you can breathe<br />
Breathe into me<br />
I stand alone<br />
Inside I stand alone<br />
Feeling your sting down inside me<br />
I'm not tired forever<br />
I stand alone<br />
Everything that I believe is fading<br />
I stand alone<br />
Inside I stand alone<br />
Inside I stand alone Inside</p>

<p>{Happy damned birthdays you black scuttlers, and may it fill our dark little hearts with secret joys and fulfilled mysterious passions, hraaaah!}</p>&quot;

<p>Totally agreed, lol. It was a wonderful birthday and I thanked all who were involved and others I haven't thanked yet. I was talking with a fellow scorpio and she told me that there is flaws to us though, we fall in and out of lust quickly, we're prone to straying, and we d tend to get real stuck on loyalty, not possessive, but when someone betrays us they are never ever totally forgiven. (and it serves those bastards right, why forgive them anyways, lol) So we're not perfect, but we're still the best.</p>&quot;

Yknow. People often mistake me for a Leo until they ire me, lol. goes to show you have to see the whole chart influence, to really get an improved look at a person.</p>

<p>Aya<br />
it's the moon signs<br />
and apart from that, leo's &amp; scorpio's r a lot alike, only scorpios r way kewler<br />
(heh scorpio pride acting up again)</p>

<p>Cobalt Manticore<br />
Leos are very bright indeed, for this is a personailty verymuch attuned to the vital life giving qualities of the sun, wheras a Scorpio is a Nocturnal critter. but what's moonlight but reflected sun</p>

<p>leo's n scorpios should b together</p>

<p>Cobalt Manticore<br />
Actually it goes two ways depending on the relationship itself. A Leo male and a Scorpio Female: CLash Of Egos, but a Scorpio Male and Leo Female isowerful attraction. Maybe I Dont want to see your picture, lol. I'd be attracted lol Also for Leos, since it's romance reading time I'll also say: Leos are full of passion. They spare no expense wen courting a new love. hey are very demonstrative and loyal, and almost continually in the throes of passion, ( A Scorpio would be like Overdose, lol) remainign very faithful. THey only lose their sparkle when love begins to fade.</p>

<p>Aya<br />
Clash... of ... egoes? i lov my leo boys</p>

<p>Cobalt Manticore<br />
Well, naawh there is the wRake*l chart t consider. Try it, ask him his Birth Info, tell him you're into Astrology. Works for me Me:\&quot;Hey what's your birth data, I'm an Astrologer!\&quot;<br />
Cute chick:\&quot; Eeeew Like I betcha als beleive in like Ghosts and Bigfoot and other grody stuff \&quot;<br />
Me:\&quot;Well yes as a matter of a fact I...Hey...Huh?? WHere ya going?? Come back here, wait!! Whoa no no no put the mace down, oh no, uhm no need to cal the Police!\&quot; (See,this approach gets results!! )</p>

<p>Aya<br />
... him n i r both into astrology, but he's kinda stuck on the sun sign stuff... should've asked him his p.o.b. n hour of birth too...</p>

<p>Cobalt Manticore<br />
ANd there ya go. btw Congrats on getting your Libra aspects and other chart changes! Sometimes I wonder if My chart ifo is correct. The year of the birth date must be off. At times I feel like I'm actually in my late 30's and other times, just plain over the hill.</p>

Leo (July 23- August 22)<br />
Your October Horoscope by Susan Miller</p>

<p>All the relationship ups and downs you thought you left behind months ago appear to be back lately, raising some of the same old issues. This is due to Uranus in retrograde returning to your seventh house of serious relationships. This is the last time in your life that you will experience this aspect. While you feel you can't quite live with a partner (albeit business or romantic), you will also find you can't quite survive without him or her. Under this kind of aspect, it's common to come together, break up, come together again and so it goes. It feels &mdash; and is &mdash; very volatile. What happens in the end will be up to you &mdash; there is no destiny involved here. There does appear to be something you need to discuss.</p>

<p>Between now and December 30 you may experience a series of dramatic meetings, partings, confrontations or discussions, all with the same person. Uranus is simply begging you to take a more creative approach. Rather than take the same stance, try something new. It may work.</p>

<p>The Leos under the most stress right now due to Uranus opposed to their Sun have birthdays around August 20-22. If that includes you, I realize this may be a very hard time and I am so very sorry. This kind of tension can be so isolating, like no one really understands what you are feeling and can't help. In a way this is true, but in a way it isn't. You do have lots of helpful, caring people around you, and that should provide some comfort.</p>

<p>Uranus experiences often put everything on our shoulders to sort out. Uranus teaches the value of strong individuality, and requires that you listen to your inner voice even if it means you have to go against your upbringing or the advice of loved ones. As far as Uranus is concerned, rules are meant to be broken because rules are for the average experience. I bet you feel your experience these days isn't quite average. If that's the case, consider thinking and acting out of the box.</p>

<p>If your birthday falls in July or until August 20, you have already felt this aspect at its most intense. Chances are the experience it brought is still quite vivid in your mind. The earlier your birthday (July 23, for example), the earlier you would experience this. Uranus first entered your opposite sign of Aquarius in January 1996 and began hitting every single Leo birthday, in chronological order from the beginning of the sign to the end.</p>

<p>We all go through an opposition of Uranus to the Sun &mdash; the aspect we are talking about &mdash; at one time or another, but it happens only once in our lifetime. Uranus takes 84 years to circle the zodiac and return to the same position. Its opposition to your Sun can come at any time in your life, depending on the year in which you were born.</p>

<p>Uranus has an interesting influence on our lives. This \&quot;planet of the unexpected,\&quot; as it is often called, has a tendency to present sudden circumstances that require an immediate response &mdash; that part can be very nerve-wracking. But there is something more that happens under this aspect. Usually, under Uranus' power a person tears away from past in some way. This is essentially a one-on-one or a \&quot;me-you\&quot; aspect, making your relationship with a partner most likely to be the focus. Expect changes to occur within both of you.</p>

<p>Some people get divorced or break up with an important partner or friend. Others move cross-country to abandon the city they lived in all their lives. Some change careers or quit the corporate life to start companies. Those are only a few examples, but you get the idea. There seems to be something propelling you &mdash; an outside force, yes, but also an inside force of equal strength that you feel welling up within you. This inner strength is giving you the courage to take action.</p>

<p>Often this dynamic has the feeling of a crisis or ordeal, though for some it can be very a positive and even joyous time. For example, you may decide to get married after a life of being single, or move to a new country and even become a citizen there &mdash; those are Uranus experiences, too, because each involves a break with the past.</p>

<p>In each case, the change would have been long been in the making but lacked a catalyst or the necessary conditions to enact the plan &mdash; until now. Sometimes a great opportunity triggers action and at other times, it simply reached a boiling point. Sometimes there's nothing like tension to make a person leap. Uranus creates an enormous need for independent action and rebellion against shackles of any kind.</p>

<p>Some people have health problems under this aspect but feel no other effects.<br />
(That's the \&quot;me\&quot; side to it.)<br />
If that's true for you, you will thank Uranus for finding the right medical advice. As we discussed, this aspect can arrive at any age. When I had your aspects I was a teenager and had a big, life-threatening operation at that time to correct a congenital problem. I was in the hospital for almost a year. It took two years to recover, but I did, on a nearly miraculous level.</p>

<p>My point in telling you this is NOT to imply that you will go through a harrowing health ordeal. (Good heavens, no! This experience was very unique to me &mdash; Uranus is synonymous with unique.) No, my point is that a health matter can often have a very happy ending under this aspect, even if you wonder if this is true while you are going through it. I was very worried at the time, for sure. (In my natal chart I also have a highly afflicted Uranus based in my first house of physical vitality, which made things much harder.) Even in the face of a serious and difficult medical complication, things worked out well for me. You have every reason to think it will for you, too.</p>

<p>If you are between 40 and 42 years old, you also have Uranus opposed to Uranus in addition to Uranus opposed to the Sun. In this case, you have a double Uranus experience. That must feel like a lot, and I sympathize. You must feel like a tornado has come through your life. I am not saying this dispassionately but with enormous empathy. I wish there were something I could do to make it better! The good thing about this is that you can be sure you are sweeping your life of any dysfunctional elements. You will soon replace what was jettisoned with something far better.</p>

<p>Keep reminding yourself that all Leos will be done with Uranus opposed to their Sun on December 30, 2003, and even if you still have the other aspect, Uranus opposed to Uranus (only pertains to those age 40-42), that will be least less to deal with.</p>

<p>Remember, too, that all tough aspects require some sort of decision. Once you make your choice, you will nearly be out of the woods. Yes, a transition or adjustment may be required, but at least you are finally choosing the direction you want to take. It does get easier, I promise.</p>

<p>Financially, this is both the best of times and the worst of times.</p>

<p>Never have your expenses been so high, but never have you been able to earn so much money. Last month's full moon was a really hard moment, and it may have cost you dearly. If it seems like a vacuum cleaner has been through your account lately, you aren't dreaming. I also don't think it is your fault; there was not much you could have done to avoid this.</p>

<p>Thankfully, nothing as dramatic will hit your bank account this month. I am sure you will be happier when Mars finally leaves your eighth house of joint financial resources in mid-December. Not until then will you be free of many of the unexpected expenses you have been faced with.</p>

<p>(This trend began back in June.)</p>

<p>Last month was also difficult because BOTH Mars, planet of action, and Mercury, planet of communication, were retrograde, which meant they were in a sleep mode; in fact, this was also true in August. That made the chances of seeing any progress very scant until these planets straightened out their orbits. Fortunately, Mercury went direct September 20 and Mars followed suit on September 27. As you begin October, the road will be wide open on all fronts.<br />
Your career is about to bring big news, but not quite yet, for things are not ready to pop just now. Keep your antenna up. There is a major eclipse due at the full moon on November 8 in your tenth house of honors, awards and achievement. Of course I will talk lots about this next month, but for now I wanted you to know that you may hear some unusual career news this month, as sometimes an eclipse will deliver news a month to the day earlier. In this case, news could come around October 8, plus or minus one week.</p>

<p>You may get an offer to interview for an exciting job, or one of the VIPs you report to may announce a departure. Or, your company may merge with another company or there could be a massive reorganization within your department. These are only four examples; there are many other possibilities. Go into this period knowing that under eclipses, often one thing ends and something else begins.</p>

<p>If you hope to get a new job and you have been in the interview process, the final answer will probably come around this date.</p>

<p>Another possibility is that you will begin your interview process near this date. Those born on or near August 9 are most likely to feel career changes as a result of this eclipse.</p>

<p>In the meantime, in October there will be lots of emphasis on the third house, suggesting that paperwork that has been held up may now show up for your signature. If so, your best day to sign would be on October 20. On this day, Venus and Saturn will be beautifully angled and the moon will be in your sign, Leo. Despite the problems we discussed earlier with partners, there seems to be someone who will be very good for you. (It could be this same person or someone else.)<br />
Watch October 3 for a case in point. On that day, your artistic expressions should be amazingly active, thanks to the Sun's sweet collaboration with Neptune.</p>

<p>Ngilah<br />
October 22 will be even better. On that day you will prove to be a genius at thinking up new concepts and ideas. If you are in a creative field, be sure to sit down and brainstorm or schedule a key client presentation for this day. People in authority will look kindly on you, for the Sun (authority) will be in an ideal angle to Uranus, planet of innovation. Again on this day, you seem to need a buddy, collaborator, spouse or middleman (agent, representative, lawyer, headhunter)<br />
to really make things happen. Don't think that all collaborators or partners are bad &mdash; there is only one that may be giving you grief right now.</p>

<p>Some of the best moments of the month may center on travel, and seem to come near October 10, the full moon, plus or minus four days.<br />
Just get in your car and drive, dear Leo, and don't forget your iPod and digital camera. You can look at the beautiful changing autumn leaves (my North hemisphere readers) or go off to a lake and bring those new books you were promising yourself to read. Those who were born on August 9 will most enjoy the effects of this full moon.</p>

<p>Also near the full moon on October 10, you may find publishing opportunities dazzle, or enjoy some very upbeat legal news. The ninth house, where this moon will fall, also rules spirituality. If you need to see a priest, minister or rabbi for any reason, this full moon would be a good time to have your visit.</p>

<p>Your home will be the subject of the new moon on October 25. Any decision involving real estate, your main residence or the care of a family member can more easily be solved at this time. Mars will be in such a great position to that new moon, as will be Uranus, that news is bound to come as a surprise<br />
(like everything else this month).</p>

<p>A new moon sets up two weeks of opportunity, with its strongest energy appearing closest to its arrival date. If you have to make a change, search out your options on the weekend of October 25 to October 26 or in the days that follow. With the Sun, Venus, Mercury and the new moon all crowded into this tiny slice of the horoscope pie (the fourth house), you will have plenty of cosmic clout behind you!</p>

<p>Those born on or near July 24 may feel a little tense. You may feel forced into finding a solution to a housing or family situation, but no matter &mdash; it's time to look at your options. You just may find something better than you have now.<br />
Venus' presence will add beauty and love, so if you have no plans to move, maybe you will renovate or redecorate. The end of the month would be the perfect time to do so. If that all sounds like a bit too much, think about all the little things that can refresh your experience at home, like plants and new placemats or a new coat of paint to the living room. Or, if you have enough of what you need, consider giving a party. [&ccedil;&oslash;&ccedil;&dagger;]tails? Dinner party? Pizza get-together? Doesn't matter what kind of affair you host &mdash; just invite the crowd!</p>

<p>Before I go, let's list your best date nights. My first pick is Friday, October 10. Not only will it be a terrific full moon, but Venus and Mars will send kisses across the star-studded sky &mdash; a very sexy vibe. This night will sizzle! If the timing coincides with a long trip, wow, double fun!<br />
Runner-up night will be Thursday, October 9, when Venus and Uranus will be so perfectly angled, an evening sure to be romantic, soft and sweet.</p>

<p>Later in the month, be sure to circle Saturday, October 18, when Venus and Jupiter will embrace and the moon will be in Leo. Anything you do on this night would likely be very elegant, beautiful and memorable &mdash; even it it's expensive, it would be worth it!</p>

<p>Of course, I love Wednesday, October 22, the day we talked about earlier in terms of your creativity. On this day you will be witty and attractive, and you should do you best to be with a crowd of people. This will be such a fine, fun day!</p>

<p>Summary:<br />
Uranus is back in your seventh house of relationships, making things a bit volatile. If you find your life resembles opera, you'll know why. Luckily, Uranus will be gone by December 30, not to return in your lifetime.</p>

<p>Travel will be outstanding this month. Fly to Paris, view fall foliage in Vermont, or investigate Greek islands by yacht. Sound good? You bet! If you haven't taken a vacation yet, do so in October's first half.</p>

<p>Do plan to be home by the October 25 new moon when plans to move, paint, redesign, or renovate will click into place. You will suddenly have more home-related ideas than the crew of Trading Spaces!</p>

<p>Financial news at month's end will be positive too, rounding out a decidedly upbeat month.</p>

<p>Your imagination will sparkle on October 22, your favorite day. Share your thoughts with the world.<br />
You are particularly strong when you blend your energies with a partner. Your boss will call you brilliant &mdash; and guess what? You are.</p>

<p>Next month, at the eclipse on November 8, your career will become a major focus. Keep watch for clues and have a spiffy new resume ready in case you should get that magical phone call.</p>

Holy toledo and I thought Leos were wordy..,<br />
<a href="http://files.flamingtext.com/files/2003/10/07/flamingtext_com_1065530308_30433.jpg">http://files.flamingtext.com/files/2003/10/07/flamingtext_com_1065530308_30433.jpg</a><br />
hehe not bad</p>

The Myth:<br />
To belong to this sign, they say, is to appear to others, as brassy, sassy yet undeniably classy. It is to be brave, bold and bolshy yet still, somehow, more composed than a symphony and more \&quot;confident\&quot; than Chris Tarrant himself. Leos, so the textbooks tell us, are nothing else, 24 hours a day, than stylish show-offs and sexy superstars.</p>

<p>The Truth:<br />
If only! There is of course, a grain of truth in this. In fact there's more than a grain, there's a granary. There is not though, a mill, a stream and a bakery. Or, to put it another way, Leos can, at times be all the above and more - but though the rest of the world seems happy to imagine otherwise, they also just so happen to be human. Leos suffer, Leos struggle, Leos strive and Leos even, sometimes, screw things up. It's just that they have this air of consummate authority about them that makes such fallibility hard to imagine. Even when Leos are collapsing in floods of tears or wallowing in the depths of despair, they come across as attractive, calm and capable.</p>

<p>The Key To Success:<br />
Although you were born under the sign of the lion, you often act more like a puddycat. That's fine for quiet times but, if you ever want to make things change or get results that suit you, you need to start prowling and growling. In astrological tradition, the ruler of your sign is the Sun. Be more like it. Rise up high... and shine!<br />
{Bloodgeon!}<br />
Booyah, to the Leo-haters.<br />
and to Leos too, when you think about it, self-government is the most important type of Rulership,<br />

<p>Leo: The Inner You</p>

<p>You have larger-than-life emotions; whether you're experiencing joy, despair, excitement, or love, it might as well be playing on a giant movie screen. You feel you have an important role to play in life and you're going to find it. You need to be involved in the world; in fact, you tend to think of any plan or project you're part of as an extension of who you are. You believe in taking action. Your immediate reaction to any problem is to do something about it rather than sit around pondering it. But you're extremely sensitive and you try to hide this fact under a lot of bravado. It's very important to you to get others' approval. What makes you special, though, is that in spite of your inner qualms, you jut out your chin and walk head-on into any challenge. You have a deep-seated need to prove your worth--not to others but yourself. You'll tackle any job just so you can say, \&quot;I wasn't afraid to try!\&quot;</p>&quot;

<b>Leo’s Amorous Combinations</b><br />
<br />
<b>Leo and Aries</b> These two are the superstars of the zodiac. These well-matched partners get along marvelously in the bedroom. They’re an unbeatable combination for deriving sheer joy and excitement from sex. They also share the same likes and dislikes in other areas of life. However, they need all that rapport to overcome one big problem—the head-on collision of two super egos, each of whom wants to play the leading role. They have to learn to share center stage. Otherwise, a glorious mating.<br />
<br />
<b>Leo and Taurus</b> Leo’s sovereign right to rule runs smack up against Taurus’s determination to have its own way. Both are fixed signs, so neither will give an inch. Leo merely becomes angrier and Taurus becomes more obstinate. Thrifty Taurus is cautious and deliberate; Leo expansive and extravagant. Taurus stubbornly refuses to give Leo constant worship, and Leo is too self-centered to give Taurus the devotion it needs. Leo is much more exuberant than Taurus, both is and out of the bedroom. Too many personality conflicts here.<br />
<br />
<b>Leo and Gemini</b> They strike off immediately because they like so many of the same things—glamourous social life, parties, theater, lots of friends. Lively, independent Gemini brings out Leo’s <i>joie de vivre</i>. Their affair is a merry chase after variety and amusement. Leo finds Gemini’s imaginative sexual high jinks great fun, but Leo may also become jealous because of Gemini’s lighthearted approach to love. Leo is more intense than airy Gemini. Life together will be stimulating and exasperating, but the outlook is good if Gemini can stay faithful. Otherwise—poof!<br />
<br />
<b>Leo and Cancer</b> Both are romantics, though in different ways: Leo wants a relationship to be glorious and exciting Cancer wants it to be meaningful and fulfilling. Leo doesn’t get as overwrought as Cancer, who takes things more seriously. Cancer needs security and tranquility and is a stay-at-home. Leo is boisterous and a gadabout who loves to be on constant display. Cancer’s dependency will please Leo provided a little adoration is thrown in. Leo is flamboyant in love, and Cancer is responsive, loyal, and intense; Leo likes that. Mixed signals.<br />
<br />
<b>Leo and Leo</b> When a king and queen are together, heads turn. This couple can have a royal mating—a grand passion conducted on a grand scale. Both are romantic, colourful, exuberant about life, and highly sexed. The main question is: Who’s going to be in charge? It’s difficult for one Leo to make room for another ego as large as its own, but that’s exactly what’s needed here. Each mot only wants to sit on the throne, each wants to be the power behind it as well. Grand lovers and interesting rivals.<br />
<br />
<b>Leo and Virgo</b> Leo is drawn to Virgo’s intellectualism, but Virgo doesn’t understand Leo’s dramatic nature. Leo can’t get from cool, reserved Virgo the sexual responsiveness it demands. Virgo is practical and prudent; Leo is extravagant and a spendthrift. Leo likes to live life in a really big way, but Virgo is conservative, frugal and a nitpicker, which puts a damper on Leo’s high spirits. Virgo won’t be dominated either. Leo needs lots of flattery, but Virgo’s tendency is to puncture inflated egos. Both of them should look elsewhere.<br />
<br />
<b>Leo and Libra</b> Leo’s creative side meshes well with Libra’s penchant for artistic and esthetic pursuits. Leo is more interested in the strictly physical side of love than Libra, but Leo’s style and brio can win Libra over. Libra is indecisive and Leo will naturally take charge. The checkbook may not always balance because they’re both extravagant and love a beautiful setting in which to shine. Each will also try to outdo the other in order to get attention. But in the bedroom, Leo is the master—and that’s what Leo likes.<br />
<br />
<b>Leo and Scorpio</b> There’s immediate sexual fascination with each other. But Leo finds it hard to cope with Scorpio’s jealousy and possessiveness. Intense, smoldering Scorpio is on a too-short fuse, while Leo is much more buoyant. Leo thinks Scorpio difficult and temperamental; Scorpio considers Leo pretentious and a showoff. Scorpio doesn’t understand Leo’s need to be continually surrounded by an admiring audience. Scorpio would rather dominate than admire, and that doesn’t suit Leo’s kingly state. Sex isn’t everything.<br />
<br />
<b>Leo and Sagittarius</b> Leo is enthralled by optimistic, extroverted Sagittarius, and fun-loving Sagittarius is enchanted with Leo’s sunny openness to life. Together they share a liking for freedom, adventure, and meeting new people. Both are passionate and fiery sexual types, and if anyone can keep Sagittarius faithful it’s Leo. Leo’s natural quality of leadership brings out what loyalty Sagittarius can give. Leo is very proud, but self-confident and expansive Sagittarius is perfectly happy to let Leo strut.<br />
<br />
<b>Leo and Capricorn</b> Leo’s romantic, expansive nature is curbed by cautious, practical Capricorn. Merry Leo likes to kick up its heels, but Capricorn disapproves of too much self-indulgence. Both are highly sexed, but with basic differences. Leo needs glamour in lovemaking and Capricorn can’t supply it. Leo will think Capricorn stingy with affection because Capricorn’s reserved, undemonstrative nature cannot give Leo the adoration it needs. Neither will take a back seat or let the other dominate. This affair will be on the rocks before it even leaves the dock.<br />
<br />
<b>Leo and Aquarius</b> There is an initial physical attraction between these two, but Aquarius’s tendency to analyze and criticize will shake Leo’s confidence and deflate its ego. Leo views Aquarius’s aloof emotions as a personal rejection. Also, Aquarius’s unconventional, experimental approach to love may prove upsetting to Leo, who doesn’t like to wander too far afield. Both like socializing and meeting new people, but Leo always needs to perform on center stage, which makes Aquarius impatient and irritable. Aquarius is too independent to become Leo’s devoted subject. And that’s where it ends.<br />
<br />
<b>Leo and Pisces</b> Leo is flamboyant, domineering; Pisces is unworldly and mystical. They intrigue each other because they are so different, but the differences don’t mesh well. Leo’s active, outgoing nature doesn’t harmonize with Pisces’s dreamy introspection. Leo needs public acclaim, while Pisces prefers the sheltered life. Both are more inclined to take than to give. Leo can’t tolerate Pisces’s ultrasensitivity, nor Pisces’s inclination toward exotic boudoir activity. Before long, the lion will start to roam.&quot;

<p>Ah now Why did I post this to myself? Silly me.</p>

<p>And Gunter is Adelphi forums staff. Adelphi is like above TalkCity in rank or something like that. How He got involved is our promotions advert to All Adelphi applications that accept those.</p>

<p>Ah the power of shameless self promotion, and how fitting, that our loud and proudness of Leo should come back and bite us on the &aring;&szlig;&szlig; like that, lol. Lesson Learned.</p>&quot;

<p>MonotarRach<br />
Hmm words to describe Cancerians hmmm<br />
(suggested disclaimer for all Metaversians that haven't met me yet 'I am nuts' )</p>

<p>Smothering, overly protective, very very sure of how the family unit is supposed to work and if it doesnt they will withdraw into a 'mood' rather than confront and make their line clear...however<br />
they will also be the first ones to comfort, to ensure security for others (mostly cause this is what they want minus asking) and they will also be the bosom of the heart and remind everyone that the rainbow contains love as it's symbol<br />
And now i dare you all to add</p>

<p>{Bloodgeon!}<br />
Yes we here try to be informative and entertaining and educational so...,</p>

<p>Dresses up like the Easter Bunny in Biker accessories, opens his chart and...</p>

<p>Ahem, now my Cancer is Saturn says here: Strong attachmetns to people and places. Emotional inhibitions brought on by fear of rejection.</p>

<p>Ngilah<br />
Rach:\&quot; And now i dare you all to add \&quot;<br />
OK...Dared<br />
Wisdom= Knowledge + Experience: Cancerians have retentive memories... as sappy as we may seem, Cancerians learn by experiencing Life with our emotions... that's why we seem to be wearing our hearts on our sleeves... and once something is learned, they don't forget it... ever.</p>

<p>Cancerians don't believe in Sex without Love and don't believe there is beauty/sensuality/sexuality without intelligence... How can there be elegance without intelligence?</p>

<p>I kind of feel sorry that some Cancerians don't get over the fact that their softness is a plus, not a minus... they always try to harden their shells... and they only make the breaking of their shells a lot easier... the harder the shell the harder they will get hit...<br />
Everyone's greatest challenge in life is: -how to get through life without becoming bitter. In a Cancerian's case: -how to take in the painful things in life without hardening their hearts and shut out the joys in life...</p>

<p>*Water, so gentle, meek, timid... It is everywhere, yet when you put it in a cup it becomes the cup... Water, how gentle it flows in mountain streams... quenches your thirst and revitalise your soul... easily taken forgranted... And yet who can withstand the raging flood?</p>

<p>Love Commands Us: Cancerian can be meek and take on challenges wisely... Loves and gives love without bounds... but when pushed too far... You'll find yourself fighting a force of Nature...</p>

<p>You are the Fifth Element in Astrology</p>

<p>= You, Your Freewill, Your choices,<br />
Your personal values, the functions of Your Heart (Emotions that guide your decisions). Astrology does not predict your future, it only tells you more about who you are and who you could become...But it is You who write your own Destiny.</p>

<p>Every zodiac sign has its yin and yang... the upsides and downsides... Possibilities... we can use it as a gauge or measure... to better ourselves as human beings... or, use it as an excuse to not do anything about our miseries... but it all comes down to FreeWill... our free will to believe in who we are, and people's free will not to be the best that they can be because they choose not to be... at least till they get hit by a \&quot;Saturn return\&quot; that is... Saturn Return's Lesson: Learn to serve the force that drives you, or suffer the fate of the unwise...</p>

<p>This sounds very much like a Cancerian quote:<br />
- The Errors of a wiseman make your Rule<br />
Rather then the Perfections of a fool. --William Blake</p>

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)<br />
Your October Horoscope by Susan Miller</p>

<p>Life seems very different these days, doesn't it, little crab? If you wake up and want to crawl right back into your little shell, remind yourself that what you are going through now will have enormous value in the future. The period you are in now is quite special.<br />
You are learning skills that will whip you into maturity and make you a force to be reckoned with. Nobody leaves a Saturn experience weaker, only stronger. During days when you doubt you have the strength to withstand such harsh winds, know that it won't always be this hard. Saturn transits are challenging, but they are temporary, and they're worth it!</p>

<p>Saturn first entered your sign on June 3. By now you are feeling pressures mount, particularly if you were born from June 21 to July 4. New responsibilities &mdash; ones that are completely unfamiliar &mdash; will come your way and you will need to master them as quickly as possible. Saturn rules time, so we become more conscious of time and the need to use it well when Saturn comes by for a visit. This is positive.<br />
Since last June, Saturn has swiftly orbited over the mathematical degrees of approximately half of all Cancer birthdays, which is saying a lot. In October, Saturn will slow its orbit into retrograde position, giving you a few months to catch your breath.</p>

<p>Saturn will show you where your thinking has been misguided or where your faith in someone has been misplaced. If you had certain unrealistic fantasies or assumptions, you will begin to make adjustments. If you fall down, Saturn will show you how to get up, dust yourself off and get right back going. You will be able to achieve great things during this period. While you may detest having Saturn around (this planet will make others seem impossible to please), afterwards you will be glad Saturn took the time to tutor you so thoroughly.</p>

<p>Once you become comfortable with Saturn's emphasis on practicality, objectivity and realism, you will be forever changed for the better. Saturn only visits Cancer once every 29 years, so when it does settle in for its typical two-year stay it tries to make its visit memorable.</p>

<p>When I look back, I see that my biggest achievements always coincided with Saturn visits to my Sun (as you have now) or with other special Saturn configurations. Of course, Saturn makes nothing easy, but that's Saturn's way.</p>

<p>This planet wants you to pay close attention to its teachings &mdash; and remember them. That would be unlikely if its lessons were a snap.</p>

<p>As mentioned earlier, Saturn will retrograde on October 26 and remain in this sleepy mode until March 7, 2004.</p>

<p>Saturn is a little weaker when it retrogrades, so during this period you will have the time to contemplate your next step. You will need that time. Any true problem represents a set of conflicting values or goals, and sorting through them usually takes time.</p>

<p>You also may need to confront a certain individual in the next few months, if you haven't already. Confrontation is something Cancers usually loathe, but you may come to the conclusion that it would be the shortest and most effective way to deal. During Saturn retrograde you will be able to muster the courage and move to clear the air.</p>

<p>Most likely the source of your heartache involves a serious relationship, such as with a spouse, business partner, long-term lover, collaborator, or member of your team.</p>

<p>Saturn is the ruler of your seventh house, governing an individual you are closely aligned with. It is also possible that a competitor, detractor or critic may drive you crazy &mdash; these people often come out of the woodwork when there are difficult aspects in the seventh house. You can use the upcoming downtime to figure out how to best combat any jabs that come from a certain critic or detractor in your circle.</p>

<p>There is one other way this may work out. You may get along with your partner (personal or professional) just fine. Instead, these aspects could raise concern about his or her welfare, perhaps because difficulties have beset this person lately. If so, your partner will have to work his or her way out of a tough spot. Although you may not be able to help out, be comforted in knowing that he or she does have the strength to weather this storm.</p>

<p>Concentrate on being patient and supportive.</p>

<p>Although it may appear that this partner-related problem has come out of the blue, that's not quite the case.</p>

<p>Look back to the Cancer and Capricorn eclipses of July and December 2000 as well as January and July 2001. Cues to this issue surfaced way back then. It was very a critical time for you.</p>

<p>Things were changing, but I am not sure if you were aware of just how true this was at the time. If you were not able to resolve problems then, Saturn will coax you to do so now by providing lots of daylight to help you view the situation objectively.</p>

<p>It might help to know that Saturn is not at all like Uranus, a planet that likes to strike suddenly and create massive change in the blink of an eye.</p>

<p>No, Saturn allows for more gradual transitions that take place over several months, or even as much as two years. Nothing need be accomplished in one day, dear Cancer.</p>

<p>Life will get easier when you realize you already hold many of the keys to overcome challenges you face now.</p>

<p>Oddly, you seem unaware of your greatest assets, probably because Saturn has you concentrating so hard on the task at hand. Your innate talents, credentials, experience, insights, and long-term relationships all add up to something impressive. Try to give yourself credit, and pat yourself on the back. Somewhere in this treasure trove of your past lies the keys to greater happiness. Acquaintances, friends and business contacts could help you, too, if you only you would think to call on them. They believe in you and would be glad to help you if you asked. Advice, introductions, and ideas await.</p>

<p>Also, let's also not forget that Jupiter, the good fortune planet, is touring your third house of communication until September 2004. It is clear that your ability to write, edit, do research, sell, negotiate, teach, lecture or speak to groups/clients/strangers is currently highly valued. You may be versed in another language, too. If so, this ability may also come into play, giving you an extra edge.</p>

<p>The third house, so brilliantly lit, also rules a sister, brother or cousin.<br />
One of these individuals may be helpful, too, by providing a tip or introduction that might improve your situation.</p>

<p>In all situations, even when we feel overwhelmed or pounded down by life, we are nevertheless strong in ways we overlook. That's a shame, for those very qualities could hold the answers you need. See if you can think more about your strengths this month instead of what frustrates you, dear Cancer.</p>

<p>Change your focus and you'll find solutions.</p>

<p>The crab always gives a brave face to the world, but often feels vulnerable because its shell covers a soft underbelly. That feeling of vulnerability often comes from a lack of confidence. To compound this innate trait, Saturn's presence in one's sign often makes one a bit tense or unsure.</p>

<p>(Only until we map out our plan, however!) Your life now might be made into a vivid example of the old saying,<br />
\&quot;If you think you can, you can.\&quot; Keep a positive mental attitude. There is no past, only the future and it will be a bright one, dear Cancer.</p>

<p>Ngilah<br />
Your first order of business in October will be to figure out a housing or family situation (if you haven't already addressed that matter). Last month's new moon in your fourth house of home (September 25) brought the first solid opportunities you have seen in a long time. If you haven't yet made a decision in regard to a housing, property or other domestic situation, look at your options in October's first week, when these matters will shine most brightly for you. You have lots of luck on your side, but not for long. Work fast.</p>

<p>If you were born on or near June 23, you may be forced into looking at a home or family situation through a new filter, but that's not so bad, is it?</p>

<p>Some of the best discoveries are the daughters of necessity.</p>

<p>Your career will also bring big news this month. Although the moon will be a mixed bag, it looks like you will have plenty to celebrate. Expect to make an urgent decision on or within four days of October 10. Something important involving your reputation or a job will spark at this full moon. It could be an exciting moment. Perhaps you will be offered a new job or a well-deserved promotion. As you go forward in the months ahead, vow to set new goals.</p>

<p>There is something about this full moon that suggests you have come as far as possible in one work situation, and you will be ready to climb new mountains next year.</p>

<p>One more word about this full moon, involving money: Saturn will not cooperate with the Sun on October 10.</p>

<p>Because the Sun rules your solar second house of income, you may not be entirely happy with an offer you receive. I doubt you will be able to negotiate for more money, so you might as well take what's offered, for now.</p>

<p>At the end of 2003 and early 2004, just before the holidays in late December through January, you will get your chance to move up the ladder of success at work, either within the organization you are at now, or at a new firm. The compromises you might have to make now won't hem you in forever. Moving into a new situation may get you out of a career rut, or get you employment when you need it most. This full moon seems to prime you for even bigger things later in the year. If you were born on or near July 7, you will feel this full moon most.</p>

<p>Although the first half of the month will be somewhat tense, the second half will be much more to your liking.</p>

<p>Expect a big emphasis on romance, fun, relaxation and events to look forward to. With four planets crowded in your house of new love at the new moon on October 25 (and for two whole weeks following), if you are single and open to meeting someone new, there appears to be someone who would like to get to know you better.</p>

<p>If you do begin seeing someone new, this person may well be in your life for a very long time. This is because Saturn, now in your sign, is teaching you not to waste your valuable time on people who don't deserve your loving nature. Being more discriminating is wise &mdash; it will get you to where you need to be. Remember, we teach others how to treat us. This month, step back and see your life as if it were a play or a really good movie. What would you have your protagonist (you) do next? Write the script, and make it an uplifting, rousing story, dear Cancer.</p>

<p>You may think this is a silly exercise but it isn't. If you can imagine a better life, you can live it, because the mind processes memory and dreams in exactly the same way &mdash; as fact. If you can see a better future in your mind, you can live it.</p>

<p>The aspects that gleam so brightly for you beginning with the appearance of the new moon, October 24 (and for the two weeks that follow) are associated with new love. They will not apply to a former or more established relationship which, as discussed earlier, may be going through a hard patch.</p>

<p>(Remember you may get along fine with your partner, but find yourself worried about your main squeeze. Or a business collaborator may give you some tummy flutters.)</p>

<p>If you are having difficulties, whether you stay together is up to you or your partner &mdash; it takes two to tango. A relationship, just like a job, can have a life of its own and be completely resistant to any outside attempts to keep it going. If the situation is truly over, hanging on to an empty shell isn't really wise. If that seems like what you might be tempted to do now, force yourself to untangle yourself, hold on to your dignity and resolve to swim in a bigger pond.</p>

<p>Although we think we will never find anything better, that is almost never the case.</p>

<p>If you are unattached and ready to try someone new, you are in luck, for you will likely not be affected by the partnership aspects I just discussed. Lucky you, this month you will have FOUR perfect planets in your house of true love.</p>

<p>Your best date nights will include the weekend of October 25, the day of the new moon, and the days that follow.</p>

<p>Take special note of October 30 and 31, when Mars and the Sun will cook up a happy Halloween. If invited to a party &mdash; go! Mars will feel both romantic and sexy, a potent combination &mdash; when combined with the moon, you have all the pieces in place for a memorable time.</p>

<p>Money may have been a bit of a sore subject lately, but you will have two special days that may perk you up and help you see that your luck is turning for the better. Your first day is October 9, when some sort of speculative project will show signs of paying off. You may get a commission check or bonus, or even a cash gift from a family member. The money could alternatively be tied to a creative project. Cash won't come through normal channels (salary) &mdash; this seems like side income.</p>

<p>An even stronger day will arrive on October 22 when it will seem as though you can do no wrong, at least financially. Here's a day to put out a dollar for a lottery ticket or charity raffle ticket &mdash; your financial luck will be stellar!</p>

<p>Finally, some quick, short travel may be on the agenda. If so, you'd do well to schedule it over the weekend of October 18, a simply gorgeous time for relaxation. Bring someone you love or care for deeply to make it an extra special time. Dear Cancer, just get in the car and drive!</p>

<p>Summary:<br />
As a Cancer, you need a settled home life. When domestic issues are left undecided you feel off balance. Take advantage of domestic options that pop up in October's first week. Once you make a decision you'll feel relieved. The full moon on October 10 will bring amazing career news &mdash; start to chill the champagne in anticipation of your big moment.</p>

<p>Romance will be in the air from October 25 onward. With an unusual five planets sitting cozy in your house of true love, you'll hold an all the winning cards. Play them while you have them! Married? Steal time for a memorable weekend together.</p>

<p>Cash flow has caused you some angst lately but on October 22 you will hear of a financial breakthrough. When it comes, it may seem like a miracle! Try your luck on a raffle ticket, too, as you may win a small prize.</p>&quot;

<p>I am Cancer + He is Leo =<br />
This pairing can work even though it's not a classical match in astrological terms.</p>

<p>Signs side-by-side on the zodiac wheel are often opposites; the second sign makes up for what the first sign lacks.<br />
Thus, when you met your Cancer, you instinctively knew this person has traits you wish you had, and knows things about the world you wish you knew. Cancer is, after all, the most caring and sensitive of signs. Cancers read body language easily and always seem to know where people stand emotionally. This is because they are a water sign, and have been given a certain amount of telepathic ability. Cancer will use this ability to soothe you and nurture you exquisitely.<br />
A Crab in love is wonderful to experience -- they are tender, warm, and loving in the most genuine way.</p>

<p>Cancers will not play mind games or lead you on. As a Leo, you grab life with both hands and enjoy it to the max. Your Cancer loves this in you, even though they can't quite master your art of living. They enjoy your grand and elegant generosity, your sense of style and purpose, even though they freak out at the money you spend. Crabs are thrifty bargain hunters, something completely alien to you, because they always (gasp!) save money!<br />
This could pose a problem later, because money and its allocation is the number one thing couples fight about.</p>

<p>You will admire their deep love of home and family. You don't think you will ever have the patience to get up and down all night with a fussy baby. But you will crawl around the floor with a little one and enjoy playing pretend.</p>

<p>You won't cook up huge feasts on holidays as Cancers do, but you will surely want to contribute your specialty dish and enjoy the compliments that result. If it's your idea rather than your responsibility, you can easily see yourself as a part of a family. You are so dramatic that you have to watch taking too much credit for your Cancer's efforts (bringing up the children, and those aforementioned dinners, for instance).</p>

<p>If you only look for the big picture of the happy family, you may not be aware of your tendency to overlook who did what, and this will hurt the feelings of your Cancer lover!</p>

<p>Cancer wish they had your confidence and elan. You don't worry about things like Cancer does (nobody could), and this is another area of potential conflict. Cancers react after, not during the event. A month after an incident happens, they may discover they didn't like your attitude (or their own), or the way something was handled. This will come out of left field for you the first couple of times, but you will begin to see the pattern in their behavior. They are moody and they tend to look back into the past a lot. This is all news to you, for you don't do this, nor did you notice this in Cancer when you met.</p>

<p>Cancers withdraw to quietly go over things again and again in their minds. When you notice this (and years may go by before you do), you must realize Cancer's restlessness and frustration will increase as long as there is no way for them to let their feelings out. Unless you pry open their shell and get them to talk as soon as you can, Cancer is liable to burst with a sense of deep unhappiness until they can come to terms by themselves with what is troubling them.</p>

<p>At first you may need to give your Cancer a little time alone. Some of the first smoke signals they send up may not be what is really wrong, but what they think you want to hear. You will need to dig deeper. You may not be equipped to handle this as well as a water sign might, because they have a special third eye helping them unravel mysteries. A great deal is going to depend on your attitude. Make sure it is one of cheerful helpfulness, not criticism. Cancer is ruled by the moon and the changing tides, and even they don't always know what troubles them. You can help them sort things out if you try hard. And if not you, who will?<br />
Cancers trust their lovers above anyone else, which is why you have the ability to hurt them deeply. Realize that because you are fire sign and Cancer is a water sign that Cancer has the ability to destroy the relationship if he or she feels threatened. Water puts out fire. Cancers are not weak and helpless, although you may think they are.</p>

<p>Believe they are not.</p>

<p>Another pattern of Cancer you may find troubling is their knack of going into things indirectly, in a sideways motion, like when confronting an issue.<br />
If you don't see this coming, it may seem like a sneaky tactic. This is a sign Cancer has lost his or her confidence; only the brave face things head-on. In this case, cut your lover some slack and be grateful that he or she had the courage to raise the issue at all.</p>

<p>When you are alone with your Cancer, in the darkened bedroom, you will discover the thrilling lover you have found. The chemistry will be like catnip to you, and you will purr under Cancer's spiritual, loving and endlessly considerate attention. Cancer will spend as much time on you as you could ever fantasize he or she would, and not because Cancer feels obligated or is hoping you'll reciprocate in kind. No, this is emotion communicated with a free spirit. You will be astonished by Cancer's spiritual depth. If you baby your lover, your lover will baby you back, taming the roaring Leo into a frisky kitten. Cancers are so used to taking care of the world and everyone in it, that to be taken care of in return is beyond their wildest expectations. Treasure your Cancer, and hold on to them. You aren't as different as you may think.<br />
Cancer, Leos are very different from you; full of flourish and grand schemes, Leo embraces life passionately, and has a great appetite.<br />
Your lover can be egotistical at times.<br />
Leo is ruled by the Sun, and, since the entire solar system revolves around the Sun, it's hard for Leo not to be self-centered. Leos don't want to get any flack about the amount of money they spend on clothing; the need to be respected and admired goes down to their very core. It's been said that Leo is the royal sign so you must know that Leos spend like they are heirs to a kingdom, and never tuck money away for a rainy day. You not only save, you hoard -- you two have very different approaches to money. To support Leo's champagne taste, one of you will have to be a substantial provider -- or become more realistic. Try to have them see the wisdom of two designer suits rather than five.</p>

<p>If you are in love with a Leo, you will love his or her masterly approach to sex and the many luxurious little gifts to you. Your Leo will always be adoring and generous, and you'll be so proud to take this Cat out in public. Leo is cultured, sophisticated, warm, and dresses to kill. Everyone notices Lions when they walk into the room. Not only do they sparkle, they knows how to make an entrance with style.</p>

<p>If you love your Leo, realize what the problems will be and then work out a way to enjoy life with him or her to the max!</p>

<p>Ngilah<br />
Ngilah is a tough cookie. You can't pull the wool over Ngilah's eyes and you had better not try! Ngilah was born under the sign of the crab and she can deliver a very nasty nip! Cancerians may not be the fiercest creatures in the zodiac but they are blessed with a brilliant set of self-defence mechanisms. They have impenetrable armour and sharp, scary claws. Ngilah's shell is especially strong. She won't let anyone come anywhere near to her heart unless she knows for sure that they mean no harm. Her impeccable instincts inform her of this and alert her to act accordingly. This is why the world around Ngilah is divided into two sorts of people - those who don't know quite what to make of her and those who have been fortunate enough to meet the real Ngilah.</p>

<p>The real Ngilah is soft, kind, caring, loving and giving. So soft, so kind, so special as to deserve a sainthood. All praise to 'Saint Ngilah the Caring.' 'Saint Ngilah the Caring.' It has a ring to it does it not? It is fair comment, is it not? Indeed it is, as all who know the true nature of Ngilah will willingly and eagerly confirm. There's only one problem with being a saint. It is what it does to your ego.</p>

<p>Ngilah is a true saint<br />
and true saints are not just naturally loving and compassionate, they are also naturally humble. But true saints have a tendency to turn into martyrs. Sometimes, just sometimes, Ngilah can be a little too good for her own good.<br />

Cancer</p>

<p>The Myth:<br />
Cancerians, we are asked to believe, are soft, soppy, supposedly sweet natured folk who can't say boo to a goose. These kind, gentle timid types are fond of home and hearth, devoted to their families and keen to live as much as possible in a cosy world of calm and comfort. They exist only to please others and love nothing more than martyrdom!</p>

<p>The Truth:<br />
While this pretty piece of propaganda may accurately describe the soft underbelly of the crab, it makes no allowance for that terribly tough shell or those powerful pincers. Cancerians are quite capable of kicking up a fuss and putting up a fight. It's just that they prefer a quiet life when they can get one. Thus, they wait till a crucial line has been crossed before letting their anger out. Once that happens though, they summon the same steely resolve that they normally apply to keeping trouble at bay. They reserve their own strength only because they are slightly scared of it.</p>

<p>The Key To Success:<br />
To be a Cancerian is to be blessed with an infallible inner radar screen. It is to care, passionately, about the people who matter to you and the causes that have meaning to you. It is to know, always, what must be done and why - and never to be wrong. Yet it is also to feel your best is never good enough, even though it certainly is. All you ever have to do, to be successful, is be yourself with a little more confidence.</p>

<p>{Bloodgeon!}<br />
My personal take on Cancerian mannerisms, dont get so armoured that you can't see things for how they are.</p>

<p>Seeing things thru a heavy plated shield leaves one with tunnel vision or heavily filtered perceptions. There may not be as much to be protective of, or you may be needing to watch out in different directions, life's tricky like that, but life's also too short to be really worrying about all that all the time.</p>

<p>Ngilah<br />
Mood: ... indescribable<br />
Well... Cancerians tend to forget their natural body armour, and get all defensive about nothing... even when they've got all the bases covered...</p>

<p>And most Cancerians also tend to feel that they're not understood... probably because their being armoured up to their eyelids makes them hard to figure out.</p>

<p>With Cancer for Sun sign, I can atest, most of the armour gibberish is because of how people have seen me through out my life... (The Softy toy... hug then toss) It's so easy for them to do that, they don't seem to understand the concept of being gentle... I think Cancerians are only armoured after they have been through the fire a few times...</p>

<p>(Natural born Passive Aggressives?)</p>

<p>What I can say on my own part is... I adopted the Armour... then I don't have to explain why I leave them to \&quot;talk to the Armour\&quot; while I sneak off for some quality skinny-dipping elsewhere... hehehehe</p>

<p>(I always slip back into the armour before they even notice I was missing).</p>

<p>Truth is weirder than fiction... People tend to think they're all tough on the outside, and soft on the inside. But if the world (people) were to be less abbrassive to the Cancerians' sensitivity... maybe that armour wouldn't thicken. Because the Truth is, Cancerians would love to enjoy and have the same undaunted appearance as a Sagittarian, or ( Heaven forbid ) a Leo. Who wants to be known as mousy, shy, geeky, nerdy, inhibitted and even seemingly redundant? Most Cancerians have a vast mental library of knowledge, because they spend most of their teens and young-adulthood in an invisibility that is imposed on them by not getting the notice that any human being needs in order to bloom (they develop an affinity with books and study, maybe because they think the answer to why they are so unwanted by the \&quot;in\&quot; crowd is hidden in the pages of books somewhere, anywhere...).<br />
Some even become adept human observers and learn that there's nothing to fear... So they learn to see into the hearts of others.</p>

<p>Cancerians at some point in their young-adulthood, realise that they're missing out, but probably still feel helpless to do anything... until they somehow harden their armour and thus get a new sense of security and confidence. They are still more careful than most and don't jump before they have measured the exact depth that they're going to dive into. The parable of \&quot;the tortoise and the hare\&quot; might as well have been \&quot;the crab and the hare\&quot;... Because Cancerians like the \&quot;Slowly, but Surely\&quot;-approach to anything.</p>

<p>Privately, Cancerians may think they're a mystery unto themselves... because of strong non-cancerlike urges... i.e. ripping somebody's clothes off and sacrifice them on the altar of carnal appetites, which would probably result in multi-orgasmic earthquakes... or more flashy urges like standing on stage on graduation day and give the entire audience the finger instead of the valedictorian speech.<br />
(...Maybe there's a conspiracy here, the reason why people have to make Cancerians feel so feeble... hmmmm... mind boggling...might have to look into that...).</p>

<p>Quote:<br />
Ngilah's Sun Sign is Cancer.<br />
Your sign is that of sensitive Cancer, the fourth sign of the zodiac, the sign characterized by deep feelings and protectiveness. You are known for being nurturing, hospitable, and imaginative, and all your effort goes into making your home a safe place for you and the people you cherish.</p>

<p>The Moon, is the ruler of your sign, and makes you a very intuitive and empathetic person, Ngilah. Like the ebb and flow of the tides, you are both receptive to those you love and willing to offer comfort in return.</p>

<p>Being the first of the water signs, Ngilah, you have psychic powers, and are able to sense feelings and thoughts in others - you feel rather than think. When you love someone, you love truly and deeply, and have the desire to connect on a profound level.</p>

<p>As a Cancer, you rule the fourth house, the sector of the horoscope that describes your emotional roots, your home, your childhood, and your parent of lesser influence, usually your father. Most of all, the fourth house stands for attunement to your inner self.</p>

<p>You are a cardinal sign, Ngilah, which means that your parental instincts compel you to protect and fight for the security of your loved ones. You thrive on drama, and get stronger in situations of crisis.</p>

<p>Your strengths lie in your ability to adapt and cooperate, and your wonderful way of providing comfort. You are devoted and selfless in your dealings with others, Ngilah, which makes you a very dependable person. Since you are attuned to your unconscious, you have a strong imagination and are in touch with your intuition.</p>

<p>One of your weaknesses is that you can get hypersensitive and moody when someone fails to show you their love and appreciation. In situations of insecurity, you sometimes show immature,<br />
manipulative,<br />
and even<br />
tyrannical behavior,<br />
and others could see you as overly possessive and<br />
dependent.</p>

<p>Your Rising Sign is Leo ...<br />
Leo Rising, you present yourself with dignity, energy, and will. You are able to engage and fascinate people by displaying an incredible amount of self-assurance, and an exquisite sense of courteousness. In some cases, Ngilah, you may even enter into and dominate a situation without being invited, and once you are center stage, you begin your show, very attentive to the audience's applause. Your creativity, mixed with a touch of drama, usually gets you the attention you want, because you strive on the vital energy you receive through recognition and admiration. Sometimes, when you are alone, you turn to the mirror admiring and studying yourself, wondering how others see and think of you.</p>

<p>You can definitely be considered a force of nature, Ngilah, because you never seem to run out of energy. You enjoy a practically indestructible confidence in yourself, which allows you to accomplish great things. When you use your powers for good, you are as generous, humane, open-minded, and faithful as can be, and enjoy sharing your experience with others. You are supportive, loyal, and benevolent, which is the reason why people love and respect you. However, when you use your powers for selfish reasons, your intense personality may suffer from arrogance, autocratic pride, egocentrism and extreme narcissism.</p>

<p>As a Leo Rising, you may have a hard time being independent, in the sense that you take action only after getting other people's opinions on those actions. However, if you act according to your deepest aspirations, without necessarily obtaining other people's approval, you can become the most powerful of all, dear Ngilah. Behind all the sparkle on the outside, you are a very tender, sensitive person with a heart of gold.</p>&quot;

<p>My Two Cents Worth:</p>

<p>As a Cancer, I take things very close to heart and I don't like making mistakes.  But my question is:  Has anyone else noticed that all the other signs are ruled by actual planets and Cancer is ruled by the moon?  I would like to hear thoughts on this point.  My idea is that maybe that not only describes the whole heart on the sleeve thing but also why we appreciate romance and love so much more.  Anyway,  Have a good one.</p>&quot;

<p>:) Hello and G'morning.</p>

<p>That is weird, why are no signs claiming Earth as a ruler? Maybe the figured the Earth didnt count cause it was flat at the time? Thank Gods they rounded it in time, or else earth's increasingpopulation would be falling off the edges to fall for who knows how long..,</p>

<p>Emotions play a very important role in tyhe lives of Cancerians. ALthough naturally defensive and afraid of being hurt, the put their earts and souls into relationships and are Faithful, Loving and Loyal partners.</p>&quot;

<p>Tenna,</p>

<p>Cancerians do feel as you on the whole. We all have the quirks that makes us all different... Historically, the reason why the Moon is so important  in the Lore of Mankind is because it's the closest heavenly body to Earth, And the first thing to make people wonder what's out there, even for those who are not keen on astrology. Earth was thought of as the starting point, and it's people are grains of sand. Astrology therefore was relative to where we were on Earth at the moment of our birth....</p>

<p>Cancerians can be happy, they were lovingly born in the sign that makes them at one with themselves; mind, body and soul. So they don't have to spend a quarter of their lives just finding who they really are, but can go through the different stages of life feeling they are there at the right time for the right purpose. Once that becomes apparent to Cancerians, they will see their lives as full of new things to discover and experience and be their own masters.</p>

<p>Of course individual circumstances makes a big difference in each one of us, so in that respect, the span of what Cancerian have in common is wide, varied and abstract. Taking things to heart is at least what we do have in common. We experience through our hearts, and what we learn becomes our wisdom, and we're not likely to forget once we've lived through something.</p>

The Secret Heart of Cancerians. (continued)</p>

<p>Where was I... Oh, about what Cancerians ponder privately...</p>

<p>Well... they're great adventurers... if people think Pisceans are dreamers... then Cancerians would be sleep walkers, because they live in that dream... A trip to the Supermarket to a</p>

<p>Cancerian is like a Prince/Princess getting lost in the market square of some medieval or fanstasy scenario... people have the distinctive glow on them that makes them appear all dreamlike... and all in costume...<br />
I think they even dream it in dolby surround...</p>

<p>The only thing that would shock a Cancerian out of such reveries would have to be something as drastic as the annoying beeping of the cashier's barcode reader... (Cancerians rarely daydream in Cyberpunk) waking up from such daydreams makes the Cancerian extremely cranky.</p>

<p>Cancerians are Romantics, hopelessly and incurably so.</p>

<p>They're also attracted to the more fiery personas... well.. never the ones to look down obviously... they aim their sights at the brightest, shiniest, most desirable person in their group... (high school, college, workplace, neighbourhood, or town). Single Cancerians don't go to a movie to watch the movie... they'd refer to it as dating the leading actor/actress... because they're the ones who go to watch the same movie all over and over again...</p>

<p>(so now you know why so many \&quot;mousy\&quot; people go to watch Lord of the Rings so many times...)</p>

<p>hmmm... sensuality... Cancerians blush themselves to a lovely red hue at the thought that someone would consider them sensual... and then enjoy that blush for as long as it lasts... but sensuality is not confined in the feild of sexuality alone. Cancerians take pleasure on almost anything, from a walk in the rain in the summer, mud under bare feet, soft winter nights, a warm pelt bed and down blanket (in between which they sleep in the nude)... their favorite food just at the right time... sleeping under the shade of a tree at noon on a lazy day... hmmm the list goes on...</p>

<p>In Love...</p>

<p>hmmm... when is a Cancerian not in Love?</p>

<p>If not in love with Someone, they'd be in love with an idea of love, if not that, then they'd be in love with falling in love... Strangely enough... despite all this, Cancerians are probably the only ones who graduate high school without getting kissed. (It's sad really... Seen the movie \&quot;Never been Kissed\&quot;?) A Cancerian's worst nightmare would probably be not having anyone to love. They really believe that Love begets Love in return...</p>

<p>At heart, Cancerians are strong, when they believe in themselves and know that the people they love also return their love. And thus armed, they can accomplish miracles. Those they love are the ones who benefits most from this relationship with a Cancerian. In Love they give their all.</p>

<p>In Love, Cancerians are both most protective and most vulnerable.</p>

<p>They take Love so seriously... so seriously that it hurts. (Crabs molt... shed off their shells in order to grow bigger... in that moment the female crabs mate. They mates are bigger male crabs who will cradle them long after the mating, till the females' shells harden again). Their Principles of Love and Home are prominent, and shouldn't be taken lightly by anyone... least of all by a beloved... when Cancerians feel that this principle is threatened it shakes their world profoundly.<br />
Cancerians fear heartbreak and loss of Love. Without Love they feel, literally, like a fish out of water. But amazingly enough, they are survivors... Give them 10 year to recover... they'll be better than new.<br />

<p>Cancer: The Inner You</p>

<p>On the surface you're the picture of calm and strength, but underneath you tend to feel insecure and inadequate. You are positive that other people know what they're doing while you're just winging it. You also imagine the worst outcome to a scenario, never the best. You are a very emotional person; you are constantly feelings. Hearing a song on the radio makes you feel sentimental, and a particular scent, a flower, or picture can jar your memory. You are also extraordinarily in sync with other people's feelings. In fact, you get almost as involved in your friends' problems as you do in your own. When you're close to someone, you believe you are supposed to help that person. Harmony is important to you--any kind of conflict or quarrel leaves you feeling depressed. However, you're definitely not wishy-washy; you have the courage of your convictions and the strength to stick up for what you think is right. You don't welcome change, and are hesitant about going ahead with something untried, yet this doesn't stop you from doing what has to be done.</p>

<b>Cancer’s Amorous Combinations</b><br />
<br />
<b>Cancer and Aries</b> These two may start out like a house on fire, but it won’t take long for the fire to burn out. Aries’s venturesome spirit and wandering eye enflame Cancer’s jealousy. And Cancer is too easily hurt by Aries’s aggressiveness and sharp tongue. Cancer likes security and domesticity; Aries needs freedom to explore new worlds. Cancer wants to cherish and protect a lover, an attitude that Aries finds too claustrophobic. Both like money, but Aries wants to spend it and Cancer wants to keep it. Too many temperamental problems here.<br />
<br />
<b>Cancer and Taurus</b> Both need security and a sense of permanence, and both are loving, affectionate, and passionate as well. Cancer adds a dash of imagination to Taurus’s otherwise staid approach to sex. Taurus is possessive and that’s just fine with clinging Cancer. Both are acquisitive moneymakers, and together they enjoy the delights of hearth and home. Taurus likes being catered to, and Cancer is the one to do it. Steady-going Taurus is also good for Cancer’s moodiness. What each needs the other supplies.<br />
<br />
<b>Cancer and Gemini</b> Gemini’s sparkle immediately intrigues Cancer, but Cancer won’t find security with fickle, fly-by-night Gemini. Basically, Cancer’s nature is emotional and Gemini’s is cerebral, and that makes it difficult for them to understand each other. Although sexual energies are well matched, Cancer will have a hard time adjusting to Gemini’s playful, nonchalant attitude toward love. Possessive Cancer will try to keep Gemini hemmed in, and Gemini can’t abide that. It’s a short countdown to the finish.<br />
<br />
<b>Cancer and Cancer</b> They have a lot in common, and that’s the trouble. They understand each other perfectly and can wound each other without even trying. Both are sensitive, too demanding, too dependant. Cancers are obsessively concerned with their emotional psyches: Each needs an enormous amount of attention, coddling, and reassurance, and resents the other for not giving enough. On the other side, they’re sensual bedmates whose erotic imaginations are sparked by each other. But that’s rarely enough. This treadmill goes nowhere.<br />
<br />
<b>Cancer and Leo</b> Cancer has to get used to Leo’s extroverted exuberance. Otherwise, generous, openhearted, strong Leo is just what insecure Cancer is looking for. Cancer’s marvelous intuitions tell it exactly how to handle proud and flamboyant Leo. Admiration and a lot of flattery are what are needed to keep Leo purring with contentment. Leo is domineering in the bedroom and a little too forthright sexually for Cancer. But Leo’s sunny disposition is a wonderful antidote for Cancer’s moodiness.<br />
<br />
<b>Cancer and Virgo</b> Cancer’s responses are emotive while Virgo’s are analytical, but their personalities mesh so well that it doesn’t seem to matter. Cancer may have to warm up Virgo a little, but there <i>is</i> fire under the ice. This can turn into a secure, comfortable, and affectionate relationship. Cancer’s struggle for financial security works perfectly with goal-oriented Virgo. Cancer understands Virgo’s fussy ways, and steady Virgo helps balance variable Cancer. Cancer’s dependency neatly complements Virgo’s need to protect, and each is anxious to please the other. Good auguries.<br />
<br />
<b>Cancer and Libra</b> This pair operates on entirely different levels: Cancer wants love to be emotionally transcendent, Libra seeks perfect intellectual communication. Libra has no sympathy for Cancer’s moods, and Cancer is made insecure by Libra’s detachment and shallow emotions. Cancer is too temperamental and possessive for airy Libra. They have a hard time establishing real sexual rapport, and that exasperates Cancer. They both love a beautiful home, but Libra also needs parties and people and outside pleasures. When Cancer turns critical, especially about Libra’s extravagance, Libra starts looking elsewhere.<br />
<br />
<b>Cancer and Scorpio</b> Cancer’s sensuality is ignited by Scorpio’s dynamic passions, and because Cancer is loyal, Scorpio’s jealousy isn’t provoked. Cancer’s possessiveness will actually make Scorpio feel secure. Cancer admires Scorpio’s strength, while Scorpio finds a haven in Cancer’s emotional commitment. Both are extremely intuitive and sense what will please the other. Together they can build a happy cocoon where they feel safe and loved. This relationship has great intimacy, intensity, and depth. Things just get better with time.<br />
<br />
<b>Cancer and Sagittarius</b> Outgoing Sagittarius can open intellectual vistas for imaginative Cancer, but unfortunately, Sagittarius won’t give Cancer the security in love that it always needs. Cancer’s jealousy is aroused by Sagittarius’s flighty, faithless ways; Sagittarius is bored by Cancer’s dependency. Sagittarius likes to wander, while Cancer is a stay-at-home. Cancer’s commitment to total togetherness only makes Sagittarius desperate to get away. In addition, outspoken Sagittarius’s bluntness continually wounds sensitive Cancer. Better friends than lovers.<br />
<br />
<b>Cancer and Capricorn</b> There’s an initial sexual attraction because they are a polarity in the zodiac. If they can overcome their opposites in temperament, they can make a winning combination. But career-oriented Capricorn has too many other interests to give Cancer all the attention it needs. Cancer is shy and sensitive and needs affection, while Capricorn is brusque, aloof, and domineering. Cancer takes Capricorn’s reserve as a personal rebuff and becomes moody and critical. The differences may prove too great for long-term happiness.<br />
<br />
<b>Cancer and Aquarius</b> Cancer’s warm, responsive nature is chilled by Aquarius’s cool, self-possession. In turn, Cancer’s clinging, cloying demonstrativeness makes Aquarius feel hemmed in. Aquarius is quick-minded, unpredictable, apt to be impatient with cautious, hesitant Cancer. And thin-skinned Cancer is easily hurt by Aquarius’s caustic humour. Cancer doesn’t understand Aquarius’s essential detachment. Cancer needs to feel close and secure; Aquarius is a lone wolf. Sex may be alright, but there’s little else going for them.<br />
<br />
<b>Cancer and Pisces</b> This is an affectionate, sensitive couple who will bolster each other’s ego. Pisces is an imaginative dreamer, but Cancer is an imaginative worker—together they can make their dreams a reality. Pisces provides romance in Cancer’s life, and Cancer is the all-protective lover Pisces needs. Both are emotional, intensely devoted, sensitive to each other’s moods. They’ll hit it off in the boudoir, for both are responsive sexually. Cancer has to take the lead, but Pisces is a very willing, erotic follower. A harmonious match.&quot;

Sun Sign Funnies (Moderator: Metaphorm)</p>

<p>Ngilah<br />
Have a hoot and a half</p>

<p>Aries (March 21-April 19)<br />
page 2 of \&quot;Blame His Star Sign: Why Men Do the Weird Things They Do\&quot; \&quot;Arrogant. Pompous. Vain. Cruel. Verbose. Show-off. I've been called all of these. Of course, I am.\&quot; --Howard Cosell (March 25) Passionate, idealistic, and sentimental, the Aries man is part hero, part child, no matter what his age. He's as friendly as a puppy, downright fearless, and rather like one of those weighted clowns that children punch. You can knock him down, but he will always bounce back. And, for as long as he loves you, he will be faithful, sexy, and attentive. If you feel weak in the knees, make sure there's a sofa handy to fall on, because by the time you've swooned, this Romeo will have moved on to his next conquest. Aries men are in love with love. The appeal is in the art of romance and the thrill of the chase, not your charming smile.</p>

<p>Some astrologers compare an Aries man to a knight in shining armor. However, you are just as likely to get run down by his charging steed as scooped up in a pair of loving arms. Sir Lancelot may have been bold and honest, but he was also a royal pain in the butt, all Aries traits. His ego ruined a kingdom when, in his eagerness to run his hand up Guinevere's dress, he conveniently forgot his vow to King Arthur. In Lance's point of view he was a hero, and to an Aries man, his point of view is the only one that counts. The Ram fears mediocrity more than death. He would rather be the biggest jerk in town than just another anonymous working slob. He is subjective, bossy, and has a caustic wit he flings with careless abandon. He takes pride in being more self-centered than Scorpio and more obtuse than Taurus. He's sure he's right. Especially when he is wrong.</p>

<p>Male Rams come in two types. Bold, brash, and ready for action or shy, quiet, and ready for action. Don't be fooled by the shy type. He may come on all \&quot;Aw shucks\&quot; and toe shuffles, like Aries Dennis Quaid, but under that poker face, or enigmatic smile, his brain synapses are firing at 1,000 per minute, concentrating on the best way to get you into his bed in the shortest possible time.</p>

<p>On the door of the original Playboy Mansion in Chicago was a brass plate with the inscription Si Non Oscillas, Noli Tintinnare--If you don't swing, don't ring. Aries Hugh Hefner, the flip, hip, big daddy of hedonism, is still alive and well, and still the quintessential bad boy at 76.</p>

<p>Remember all of this before you buy your wedding dress. After the ceremony, he will expect you to worship the ground he makes you crawl on while he declares his need for freedom. He will require you to have the house sparkling, the grass mowed, and the cars washed, all before he gets home from his latest adventure.</p>

<p>He'll leave a trail of dirty clothes from the front door to the shower, while shouting his dinner order over his shoulder. When he appears at the table, he'll expect you to have a gourmet's delight in one hand and his favorite cold drink in the other. And, you'd better look like you just stepped out of the pages of Vogue.</p>

<p>This man chases the ideal. He doesn't want a real woman, with real needs. He wants the adoration of Mommy and the ethereal qualities of a fairy princess, all wrapped up in the figure of a Playboy centerfold. He thinks he is indestructible, but he's extremely accident-prone and seldom gets through life without a few broken bones, several concussions, and a couple of totaled cars. He is restless, fidgety, and has frequent head aches.</p>

<p>Just as he is either brash or shy, he'll either be a spendthrift or paranoid about starving to death.</p>

<p>You'll have to clip coupons and buy pork and beans in bulk while he plays Mr. Fix-It with the plumbing. You'll learn to sew and to raise your own veggies while he attacks his latest moneymaking scheme with the same fierce energy that makes him shout at the TV and practice road rage in the church parking lot. If he's loose with cash, you'll have to work two jobs to keep the creditors off your back and a roof over your heads. Mr. Ram communicates by temper tantrum. He will smash the glasses and put his fist through the wall one minute, then want to screw your brains out the next. And he will be genuinely surprised when you resist his ardor as you're bent over the dustpan, sweeping up shards of crystal. Your favorite martian will start a little war to have an excuse to slam out of the house and stay out until all hours. A Leo would announce that he's going out with the boys, and a Capricorn would tell you he's working late at the office, but Aries needs to rationalize his bad behavior. If you're the cookiemonster, then he is still the hero. The Greeks christened him the Ram. You can call him Butthead.</p>

<p>Taurus (April 20-May 20)<br />
page 3 of \&quot;Blame His Star Sign: Why Men Do the Weird Things They Do\&quot; \&quot;The great question -- which I have not been able to answer -- is 'What does a woman want?'\&quot; --Sigmund Freud (May 6) He's patient, prudent, and persevering, a tower of strength on whom you can lean. You'll fall for his shy charm and those big, sad eyes. He may remind you of a slow-talkin', slow-walkin' hero like Gary Cooper or Henry Fonda. His needs are simple: home and hearth, a good woman, and a nest egg for that rainy day. Before you start drooling, read on, sweetie.</p>

<p>Taurus may offer old-shoe comfort, but what you're likely to get is an army-boot mentality. Hook up with the Bull and either do things his way, or do your thing alone. He won't mind your independence, if it benefits him in some way, and as long as dinner is ready when he appears. Don't expect to be showered with praise and lavish attention. Do expect to be cast into the role of the little woman. Of all the men in the universe, this one expects the 1950s textbook version. He will buy your clothes, pick your friends, and criticize your beliefs.</p>

<p>He is judgmental and fixed in his ideas, attitudes, and prejudices.</p>

<p>Nothing you can say or do will change him. You'll have the distinct feeling of being boiled alive slowly, just as the proverbial frog, and you will be right. Mr. T invented the smothering relationship.</p>

<p>He is jealous, possessive, and obsessive. Piss him off and he'll hold a grudge. Unfortunately, it's not a silent one. He will snipe and pick and make nasty remarks until you want to bash his head with the nearest blunt object.</p>

<p>William Randolph Hearst provides a classic example of the Taurean love of possessions gone berserk. He spent tens of millions of dollars to build himself a real castle filled with priceless art and furnishings from all over the world. According to Hollywood legend, Hearst built the castle for his ladylove, Marion Davies, because his wife refused to divorce him. Talk about a gilded cage and a grim fairy tale. You would think a guy with all that power and dough would have no trouble buying off a wife. Well, Marion didn't get a wedding ring and she didn't get the castle. It was his castle, filled with his possessions.</p>

<p>She was just a living adornment for the furniture.</p>

<p>The Taurean love for food is renowned, and the Bull likes to eat. By your second anniversary he could be wearing triple-X sweats and a truss. He is capable of eating himself into multiple heart attacks and will expect you to play nurse for real.</p>

<p>His idea of excitement is switching from the food channel to Wrestlemania.<br />
It's convenient, not too far from the refrigerator, and best of all, doesn't cost anything. You may be irresistible, and he may love you madly, but he will never understand why you need any other company but his. If he does take you out, it will be to one of his favorite restaurants, where he'll be too busy stuffing his face to make decent conversation.</p>

<p>He's a cheapskate. Only a Taurus could live on a beer-and-beans budget unnecessarily. He may have millions, but you'll never see the bank accounts, although you might get an allowance. If you do get his money, it will only be because you outlived him, or murdered him in his sleep. The latter will become a tempting idea as time goes by. Sigmund Freud's use of psychoanalysis was a breakthrough in the field of psychiatry. But only a Taurus man could be at once so obtuse and so egotistical as to define a woman's frustrations and unresolved emotional distress as [&para;&szlig;] envy. Freud's Scorpio ascendant only fueled his obsession with sex. Virtually all of his theories held sex responsible for all the emotional ills of mankind.<br />
Including Sigi, who had a lengthy affair with his wife's younger sister.<br />
The original Freudian slip. The Bull's favorite game is Grand Inquisitor. He will expect you to report every detail of your day. He will also rummage through your private papers and read your diary at the first opportunity.</p>

<p>If you have a past and are foolish enough to reveal it, he is capable of using it against you at any time for the rest of your life. Your best bet is a safe-deposit box, and to lie your ass off. He is so stable, he's inert.</p>

<p>Work and home are all he knows, or needs. Although he's marathon man between the sheets, what he really wants is a housekeeper, and is so insensitive that you must hit him with a skillet to get attention. If you're the type who needs excitement now and then, you could lick the light socket or have an affair. With a Taurus man, I'd opt for the former. The Bull is not the forgive-and-forget type.</p>

<p>Although he hates change, he is perfectly capable of tossing you out on your ear one day and moving in your replacement the next.</p>

<p>Gemini (May 21-June 21)<br />
page 4 of \&quot;Blame His Star Sign: Why Men Do the Weird Things They Do\&quot; \&quot;I wouldn't be caught dead marrying a woman old enough to be my wife.\&quot; --Tony Curtis (June 3)<br />
He is simply irresistible. The Gemini man is a fun-loving, independent, roguish romantic who has a doctorate in flirting. He can cook an exotic dinner. Then dance with you in the starlight, point out the constellations, and capture your heart with his beautiful version of their myths. Don't invite the wedding guests yet. While you are mentally compiling the guest list, he will excuse himself to get you a fresh glass of chilled wine, and while in the kitchen, manage to phone three other girls for dates next weekend. The only thing this schmoozing, womanizing, party animal is interested in is adding your phone number and bra size to his ever-increasing list of victims.</p>

<p>Gemini movie star Errol Flynn was long regarded as the black sheep of Hollywood. The phrase \&quot;in like Flynn\&quot; was coined as tribute to his ability to score. His real-life adventures, rebellions, and general unruliness rivaled those of the swashbuckling heroes he portrayed. Flynn was married three times and cheated on all of his wives. His first wife, French actress Lily Damita, said, \&quot;You never know when he's telling the truth. He lies for the fun of it.\&quot; His life was one of cheerful excess. But, by his late forties, his hurricane-force existence had taken its toll, and he was a burned-out shell of his former, lively self. Flynn died of a heart attack at 50.</p>

<p>Your Twin will probably not be quite as bad, but all Gemini men have a gypsy moth's fatal attraction to a pretty face. Totally faithful Gems do exist, but are rarer than a shy Sagittarius. In fact, the word faithful has a different meaning to a Gemini man. Think of Gemini Brigham Young, the Mormon founder of Salt Lake, who had 27 wives. I'm sure that, in his mind, Brother Brigham considered himself a devoted and faithful husband. In my mind, he was in Gemini paradise.</p>

<p>Yours will have five hobbies, four careers, and an assortment of friends that resemble a mini-United Nations.</p>

<p>But, his intellectual prowess is limited to his memorization of the various versions of Trivial Pursuit and entertaining his friends by tearing you to pieces with his merciless, acerbic tongue. He lives to put down people, and will call you fat ass in public, or snap his fingers at you when his glass is empty.</p>

<p>Cold-hearted and calculating, he is a blatant social climber and will propose on the first date if he smells money. As a husband, he is ambivalent.<br />
The only thing this guy's passionate about is being entertained.</p>

<p>If you think love means being together at least some of the time, sharing dinner, and watching the tube, you had better find yourself a homey Cancer, or a quiet Virgo, and send this horny hound dog packing. Or you could look on the bright side. You may be hysterical and freaked out half the time, but you'll never be bored.</p>

<p>Cancer (June 22-July 22)<br />
page 5 of \&quot;Blame His Star Sign: Why Men Do the Weird Things They Do\&quot; \&quot;I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.\&quot; --Hunter S. Thompson (July 18) The first thing you'll notice is his genuine, and adorable, smile. The Cancer man is sweet, chivalrous, and has a wonderfully off-beat sense of humor that can be downright loony. He is sentimental, sensual, and truly affectionate. He is a traditionalist who respects the proprieties of courtship, believes in family and forever, and he's absolutely the best snuggle-bunny in the universe.</p>

<p>You may see an ideal mate, but what you get is an ideal stalker. A male Crab's idea of devotion is bonding at the hip, so unless you are prepared to become his Siamese twin, run in the opposite direction as fast as possible. In bed he is tender, but so passive that you'll soon tire of always being on top.</p>

<p>His devotion is legendary. However, don't say \&quot;I do\&quot; until you understand that this extends to every friend and relative he's ever had, especially mother. It's not above him to wait until the honeymoon to tell you she's coming to live with you as soon as you return. He's subjective. His favorite game is \&quot;Guess How I'm Feeling.\&quot; You will be expected to read his mind, sense his moods, and mend his fragile ego, all without benefit of knowing what has upset him. Don't worry.</p>

<p>Everything upsets him. Forget to buy toothpaste, and he'll decide you don't love him anymore. Say you want a night out with the girls, and he'll expect divorce papers in the morning.</p>

<p>Conversely, he will be so blind to your feelings that you will soon find yourself thinking of ways to escape.</p>

<p>Try talking rationally, and he will become morose and overemotional. He's so preoccupied with his own sensibilities, and his basic character is so convoluted, that he simply can't believe you don't feel exactly as he does on every issue. He's as moody as the female Crab, and punishes any perceived slight by retreating into his metaphorical shell to pout.</p>

<p>Consider Cancer Ross Perot's run for the presidency. Perot prided himself on playing daddy, boss, and teacher to us less enlightened folks. When faced with the inevitable opposition, he took it as a personal affront; packed up his charts, graphs, and pointer, and went home. In typical Cancer fashion, after a suitable period of withdrawal (punishing those who would not see his light), he decided he might jump back in the political ring if asked. I suppose he's still waiting. The male Crab is as paranoid about security as the Bull but, in a financial crisis, will expect you to do all that nasty stuff like making a budget or working two jobs to ensure the family's future. He'll be too ill with a case of stressed-induced acne to show his face in public. He will stop at nothing to get you to agree with his point of view, even if it's only on the best flavor of ice cream.</p>

<p>Anything less is total rejection.</p>

<p>First, he will explain in excruciating detail why pecan is better than black walnut. Next he'll try his rote lost-boy look to win your acquiescence. If neither tactic works, he will sigh, say he's not hungry, and sit brooding in front of the TV. You better be prepared to either give in or live in silence. Before you gratefully choose the latter, remember silence to a Crab is punctuated with long, mournful sighs, minor to major groans, and frequent whimpering mutters. A prime example of a male Crab in action is King Henry VIII.</p>

<p>When Henry wanted to divorce his first wife, Catherine (a Sagittarius), to marry Gemini Anne Boleyn, you would think that he would have said, \&quot;So be it.\&quot; Instead, in typical Cancer style, Henry tried to ensure that everyone in the kingdom agreed with him. He dragged out the barge, visiting his royal advisors up and down the Thames.<br />
He petitioned the Pope for an annulment, even encouraged Catherine to say their marriage was never consummated.</p>

<p>When Catherine refused, he locked her in the Tower of London. When the Pope refused, King Crab created the Church of England, installing himself as its secular head. Through alternating displays of temperament and torture, he secured most of his noblemen's support. Then, true to his changeable nature, he had Anne beheaded, in just under three years of marriage, after it had taken him five years to fight the battle to marry her in the first place.</p>

<p>While your Crab will probably not have you dispatched, he is totally capable of blinding himself to everything that doesn't reflect his narrow, ever-changing viewpoint. And you will suffer a tedious display of relentless carping and whining aimed at securing your slavish, unquestioning devotion.</p>

<p>Since you're in a no-win situation anyway, you might as well tell him you like boysenberry sherbet, you've just quit your job, and by the way, is that a pimple sprouting on the end of his nose?</p>

Leo (July 23-August 22)<br />
page 6 of \&quot;Blame His Star Sign: Why Men Do the Weird Things They Do\&quot; \&quot;I make it up all different every time I'm asked.\&quot; --Andy Warhol (August<br />
6)<br />
A Leo male is warm hearted, generous, and dignified. He's a genuine romantic you won't have to tempt twice to go for a moonlit stroll or to your favorite hideaway for the weekend. The Lion seeks a mate who is stable, family oriented, and intelligent. His family adores him, he keeps his friends laughing, and he's always the center of attention. In the office. In jail. At the beach. He's the center of attention. Always. His favorite game is Commander-in-Chief. A Leo will snap off orders with the crispness of a general ordering his troops and expect you to move at double time to wait on him hand and foot. He demands to be rewarded for coming home in the evening, and he demands your respect, whether he deserves it or not. Should he remember your birthday, nothing but a blatant display of fawning will satisfy his ego. He rarely loses his temper as long as you call him \&quot;master\&quot; while bowing in respect.</p>

<p>Challenge his authority, and he will roar, kick the sofa, and issue a couple of ultimatums designed to strike fear in your heart. As soon as the scene is over, everything is forgotten. Be stupid enough to deliberately wound a Lion's pride or, worse, attack his dignity, and you'll soon feel like a pound of ground round being sized up for dinner. If he's a quiet Lion, he'll be a benevolent dictator who wants you to hover over him constantly. He'll want you to rub his aching shoulders and tell him how fit, strong, and wonderful he is, no matter what his age or physical condition. He, on the other hand, will not hesitate to tell you that your hair is a mess, your ass is too big, and that you have the intelligence of a gnat. When you burst into tears, he will be genuinely shocked because, in his mind, he was only trying to give you the benefit of his wise counsel.</p>

<p>Study the character of Professor Henry Higgins in Leo George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion if you want an object lesson in the character of a male Lion. After berating, humiliating, and lecturing Eliza Doolittle, he refuses to praise her efforts and, instead, takes credit for her success. In typical Leonine befuddlement, Higgins runs shouting for his mother when the girl finally tells him to get lost.</p>

<p>Eliza had to be a Capricorn.</p>

<p>In a playful mood, the Lion may act like a clown, but there's nothing easy going about his nature. Tell him he's being silly, and his mood will change faster than a Cancer under the full moon. Leo wants an audience, not a critic.</p>

<p>He's chickeny. At his worst, he's a combination of Felix the Cat and Napoleon on steroids. He'll wear dark glasses at night and make passes at anything that walks, crawls, or slithers. He'll spend money faster than you can earn it. And by the time he's 40, will resemble an aging teenage hoodlum with his beer gut hanging over his too-tight Levi's.</p>

<p>It's said that Leo men always look taller than they really are. This is because they all wear either shoes with lifts or cowboy boots with four-inch heels. Leo shorty Napoleon Bonaparte invented high-heeled shoes for himself, not Josephine.</p>

<p>He will drive a monster pickup that you have to use a ladder to climb into. When he skids into your driveway after knocking over the mailbox, he'll lean on the horn until you appear, then kick the passenger door open with one of his $400 steel-toed boots. Ever the gallant, when he notices he can't see your eyes over the running board, he'll jump out to assist you, and gleefully chant, \&quot;Gropin' and hopin',\&quot; while standing behind you.</p>

<p>His vanity knows no bounds. He'll have a tattoo on his butt and not hesitate to drop his drawers at the poolroom to show it off. He, of course, thinks he's the world's greatest lover, which he announces to anyone within a 10-decibel range. However, there's really very little to be said. Two words do come to mind -- frequent and enthusiastic. His definition of foreplay is \&quot;Get in the truck.\&quot;</p>

<p>Everything about a male Lion is exaggerated. Leo Diamond Jim Brady not only had a huge appetite for food but for lavish excess as well. True to his Leonine nature, Diamond Jim was the most flamboyant character of his time.<br />
The owner of his favorite restaurant called Brady his \&quot;best 25 customers.\&quot;</p>

<p>Brady regularly tipped $100 for $2 taxi rides, and his famous collection of 30 complete sets of jewelry was estimated at the time in excess of $1,000,000. Diamond Jim was just as extravagant in love. He had a dozen gold-plated bicycles made so he and long-time girlfriend Lillian Russell could cruise Central Park in style.</p>

<p>Her favorite bike had handlebars covered with mother-of-pearl and spokes decorated with rubies and sapphires. In true Leo style, Diamond Jim was both vulgar and magnificent.</p>

<p>Whether yours is a stuffy, overbearing egotist or a wild and woolly jungle cat, the key to taming a Lion is knowing how to react. Next time he's snarling, lecturing, and posturing in the kitchen because dinner is five minutes late, ignore the fit, smile, and tell him how nice it was of him to fix the neighbor's lawn mower yesterday. He'll start to bluster, puff out his chest, and forget all about chastising you. Then he'll agree it was nice of him. It was damn fine, as a matter of fact. And, during dinner, he'll regale you with the tale of his virtuous deed. It's that attention thing.</p>

<p>part 4<br />
Virgo (August 23-September 22)<br />
page 7 of \&quot;Blame His Star Sign: Why Men Do the Weird Things They Do\&quot; \&quot;I'm not afraid to let people know that I'm kind of an idiot.\&quot; --Terry Bradshaw (September 2)<br />
He's faithful, thoughtful, and cool-headed during a crisis. A Virgo man will be home in time for dinner, help you balance the checkbook, and help raise the children. Whether he's as sexy as Sean Connery, or as silly as Peter Sellers, he will always be by your side. He's conscientious, capable, thrifty, kind, and loyal.</p>

<p>Sounds like a real boy scout, doesn't he? Well, he is -- the bargain basement version. Life with a male Virgin is like being pushed into traffic when you don't want to cross the street. Born with a superior attitude and an eye for improving everything except his own conduct, he is as relentless with his fault-finding as a pit bull locked onto a mailman's leg, and just as unsympathetic.</p>

<p>At his worst, he's a classic chauvinist, dismissing what he doesn't believe and believing only what's convenient to his point of view. His one talent for conversation is a nonstop string of criticisms about every facet of your existence, from the way you wear your hair to your coupon-clipping ability. And he won't hesitate to insult your intelligence by demonstrating just how to accomplish either task. At his best, he has the kind of predictability that will give you sleeping sickness. He'll expect dinner promptly at six, where you will exchange news of the day's events. Then he'll spend an hour with the children, who will go to bed exactly at eight. Next comes an hour of telling you how to improve your housekeeping abilities. Finally, he'll retire to his home office where he'll spend the rest of the evening mumbling over the bills or developing a plan for your self-improvement. His character is purely idiosyncratic.</p>

<p>Every Virgo has his own peculiar thought process and just as peculiar speech pattern. Many self-made Virgo millionaires are unable to utter a sensible statement. Throughout his career, legendary Hollywood producer Virgo Samuel Goldwyn adamantly refused to compromise his search for the finest talent, directors, screenwriters, and technical crews.</p>

<p>You can't argue with perfection, and The Goldwyn Touch set a standard of excellence that has been seldom, if ever, matched. Sam also had an unmatched Virgo talent for trying to act superior and coming off as a total goofball. When his secretary asked for permission to destroy files that were more than 10 years old, Goldwyn said, \&quot;Yes, but keep copies.\&quot;<br />
He's also credited with such gems as, \&quot;Give me a couple of years, and I'll make that actress an overnight success,\&quot;<br />
\&quot;If I look confused, it's because I'm thinking,\&quot;<br />
and \&quot;True. I've been a long time making up my mind, but now I'm giving you a definite answer maybe.\&quot;</p>

<p>Argue with yours, and he'll stare at you as if you've just lost your mind, for he can't believe you dared to disagree. Then he will repeat, word by word, the conversation, question, or disagreement that led you to throw the toaster at his head. Soon, you will feel as if ants were crawling through your brain and will apologize just to shut him up. You can take comfort in the knowledge that if you are determined to force his hand, you can send him to bed with a stomachache.</p>

<p>The fact that he's pretending to be ill, and he knows you know it, makes no difference. A male Virgo will feign anything from a head ache to a heart attack if he feels cornered. He's as loath to confront a situation as is his opposite, Pisces, but where Pisces fears confrontation itself, Virgo fears facing any unpleasantries about himself. Of course, he will expect you to rush to his side with chicken soup and spoon-feed him. If he can't control you with his superiority, he'll try to by appearing helpless.</p>

<p>He may appear to be calm, cool, and collected on the outside, but on the inside he's pure Felix Unger. The effeminate, priggish, germ-phobic half of the Odd Couple is a classic example of the Virgo male. In his unyielding efforts to save slob Oscar from his boorish ways, Felix totally lost sight of his own obnoxious behavior. His deodorant-spraying, dust-rag-flapping, nonstop derision of Oscar's lifestyle, coupled with his melodramatic hypochondria, is totally Virgo. If you want romance and love songs, choose any other sign (except Capricorn), because you won't find it with this man. Serve him dinner by candlelight and he'll complain he can't see what he's eating. He'll talk a lot about sex and isn't above leering at the nearest pretty face. However, he's really not into promiscuity, even the legal kind, except on Wednesday and Saturday nights, unless it's tax season, then revise that schedule to Saturday from 9 to 9:15. He's so methodical that you can put a cake in the oven and be assured that his buzzer will go off five minutes before the kitchen timer.</p>

<p>A Virgo man is nervous, nitpicky, and as selfish as a spinster guarding her assets. Emotional scenes baffle and alarm him because he fears losing control. Unless, of course, he plans to lose control, and even then he will try to orchestrate the outcome. Like Mr. Spock, too much unbridled passion makes his brain melt.</p>

<p>part 5<br />
Libra (September 23-October 23)<br />
page 8 of \&quot;Blame His Star Sign: Why Men Do the Weird Things They Do\&quot; \&quot;I can resist anything except temptation.\&quot; --Oscar Wilde (October 16) He's funny, charismatic, and oozes charm. His sense of style is impeccable and his lively, friendly personality puts him at the top of everyone's A-list. A Libra male is an idealistic dreamer who believes in world peace and fair play. He will take you to the most expensive restaurant in town, declare his adoration in front of the smiling patrons, and drop to one knee to propose. Before you exclaim, \&quot;Yes, my darling,\&quot; make sure he's still looking at you. By the time he's slipped the engagement ring on your finger, he will have spotted his next conquest walking toward the bar.</p>

<p>A Libra man is perfectly capable of marrying you on Saturday and starting his next string of affairs on Sunday.</p>

<p>He's fickle, inconsistent, and constantly on the prowl. Never mind Aries or Gemini. When it comes to love, the male Libra is as flaky as a used car salesman sniffing out his next sucker deal.</p>

<p>He's shallow. You may start thinking of a future together after a couple of rounds of his polished sexual prowess.<br />
However, to him, future is defined as until tomorrow morning, when he'll most likely forget your name before he finishes flossing his dazzling white teeth. He's superficial. A Libra man prefers beauty to substance and expects to be blindsided by the emotion of perfect love. Oh, you'll hear bells ring, but, after the honeymoon, those harmonious chimes quickly turn to death knells. He doesn't want a real woman who will jar him out of his escapist daydreaming into a world of house payments and crying children. He wants a Barbie doll to cook, clean, and entertain his endless procession of casual friends.</p>

<p>He's not into anger. Pick a fight with him, and you'll get a half-hearted argument. Usually, he will verbally dodge, sidestep, and try to distract you from the original issue with all the nimbleness of a Capricorn skipping out on his alimony payments. Contrary to venting his anger, he will drive you to vent yours.</p>

<p>At best, he's an indecisive bumbler who's so easily distracted that he'll get sidetracked into spending the day at the races with a friend he met in the supermarket while you and the kids wait for dinner. Or he'll come home empty-handed from the paint store because he couldn't decide which shade of green to buy for the hothouse. At worst, he's king of the lounge lizards. The seventies should be renamed the Decade of Libra Man.</p>

<p>Wizened lotharios from this era still have their blue polyester leisure suits, gold chains, pinkie rings, and an original bottle of Hai Karate. The modern versions wear leather vests over bare chests and strut like peachickens down the middle of the dance floor during the band's break, hoping every eye is turned in their direction.</p>

<p>He's a master of double-speak. Think of Libra Oliver North's statement, \&quot;I was provided with additional input that was radically different from the truth. I assisted in furthering that version.\&quot; Ollie is the Libra poster child. The only thing this guy will spend hours rationalizing is his bad behavior.</p>

<p>He's also self-obsessed. Libra Timothy Leary used all of his formidable intelligence and personal magnetism to force the world to agree that his endless quest for a bigger high was actually the key to brave new worlds. When faced with the inevitable opposition, Leary reacted in typical Libra fashion. He devised an entire thought system to detract from his self-indulgence. In his mind, the rest of the world made a terrible error in judgment by not embracing his philosophy. And that issue was more important to his Libra soul than proving that the path to God was sprinkled with LSD and magic mushrooms. Mr. Scaly has a give-and-take nature. You give. He takes. He will expect you to flatter his ego, coo as he preens, and help him pick the tie that best matches his eyes as he prepares for a night out with his friends. You, on the other hand, must never depress him with tedious details such as an overdrawn bank account or a leaky roof. Whether his dimpled good looks outweigh his self-serving ego is your decision.</p>

<p>part 6<br />
Scorpio (October 24-November 21)<br />
page 9 of \&quot;Blame His Star Sign: Why Men Do the Weird Things They Do\&quot; \&quot;If only I had a little humility, I would be perfect.\&quot; --Ted Turner (November 19)<br />
Whether he is tall, dark, and handsome or short, blond, and chubby, a Scorpio man is idealistic, passionate, and loyal. He will mesmerize you with his candid, purposeful stare and capture your heart with his magnetic charm. He may be as cuddly as Sinbad, or as sexy as Leonardo DiCaprio; wear a white collar, a blue collar, or no collar at all; but here is the man who is impossible to resist. Think you've hit the jackpot? Think again, sweetheart.</p>

<p>Loving a male Scorpion is like falling for King Kong. Oh, he's sexy and, underneath that aloof exterior, surprisingly sensitive. Of course, that tidbit of knowledge may not help when you are handed divorce papers because you said his best friend was a low-life slob. Other guys might sit down to discuss their feelings. Mr. Intense will sit down and rip yours to shreds.</p>

<p>He is selfish. Never mind that you are married to him or in a serious relationship. The Scorpion's idea of commitment is showing up for dinner most of the time. His emotion switch is set at subzero, and he won't hesitate to be unfaithful until he's dead. However, contrary to popular belief, he is not sex-crazed. That trait belongs to cousin Aries. Scorpio is terrified of deep emotional dependence on just one person, so, in his usual ass-backward way, he screws around precisely to avoid intimacy.</p>

<p>A male Scorpion has two reasons for living. The first is power. The second is control. He would control fate if he could -- and some try. He will usually be a good provider because his desire for power and control drives him to become successful in his chosen profession. But money is rarely his primary motivation. Financial gain is only a by-product of becoming Mr. Big.<br />
His moods change faster than a Pisces flipping the remote, and he will test your love by demanding the devotion of a religious fanatic at a revival meeting. He's so jealous, possessive, and sarcastic that you will be tempted to poison his oatmeal. There's no handling a Scorpion. You either put up with him or run like hell.</p>

<p>Deliberately awaken this man's green-eyed monster, and you better have a shovel handy. You are going to need it to either defend yourself or dig your own grave. Remember this before you are foolish enough to plunge into an affair, or worse, a legally binding relationship. The worst thing you can do to a Scorpio man is to not react to his emotional intimidation tactics. If he demands to be alone, applaud. Curb his sarcasm with a yawn. If he says he wants an open marriage, tell him you thought you already had one. When he announces he's going out without you, tell him to have a good time, then smile as if you know something he doesn't. He'll pretend to leave, park around the block, and sneak back to lurk in the bushes, convinced that you are cheating on him. He's as obtuse as Taurus when he thinks he's right and will stand in a rainstorm all night, muttering to himself, while you are cozy by the fireplace.</p>

<p>He communicates by threat. The foremost one is that he's leaving you.<br />
He also lies. The only thing harder to rid yourself of than a Scorpio man is a Cancer woman. A male Scorpion frequently looks like he just ate a cactus. That's because he spends half his life getting even for some real, or imagined, slight and the other half causing all his own troubles.</p>

<p>Consider Scorpio Teddy Roosevelt.</p>

<p>During a summer break from Harvard, 18-year-old Roosevelt entertained several friends from New York, including Edith Carow, a girl for whom he had great affection. Unfortunately, Edith (a Leo) flirted with several of his friends during the festivities, and Teddy reacted like a typical Scorpio. He married someone else.</p>

<p>After his first wife died, again in classic Scorpio style, Teddy sought his first love. They were married for 33 years and had five children.</p>

<p>Yours will be so secretive that he would rather have his fingernails pulled out than tell you what he had for lunch. He's morbidly afraid that if he dares to share any serious facts, or fears, you may get the upper hand. That's why he's so good at small talk. He can blather for hours about every piece of minutiae in the world, but ask him a direct question, and he will clam up and rush outside to mow the lawn. Your home will be either near water or hidden in a cul-de-sac behind a tall fence. He would live in a place that's accessible only by helicopter, except that it would screw up his Thursday-night dates with the chickentail waitress at the Bowl-O-Rama. If you do catch him between the wrong pair of sheets, he will put on such a display of groveling, whining, and begging that you might think he's suffered a breakdown. Don't be fooled. He thrives on intensity and is as much masochist as manipulator. He will do anything it takes at that moment to gain your forgiveness, except change. Scorpio is fixed water. He exists in a bottomless well of churning emotional excess and is so embroiled in trying to figure out his own emotions that he will never understand yours. Being sucked into the vortex of his charm is akin to getting lost in the Bermuda Triangle. You may or may not survive the trip.</p>

<p>part7<br />
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)<br />
page 10 of \&quot;Blame His Star Sign: Why Men Do the Weird Things They Do\&quot; \&quot;My divorce came as a complete surprise to me. That will happen when you haven't been home in 18 years.\&quot; --Lee Trevino (December 1) He's honest, trusting, and eternally optimistic. He won't restrict your freedom, or expect you to drop your nights out with friends in favor of staying home with him. He may have a wry perspective on life similar to Mark Twain's or the diplomacy of Winston Churchill. An Archer wants a companion to accompany him on frequent, spontaneous outings to wonderfully diverse places, because to him, life is to be explored and enjoyed.</p>

<p>Before you decide he's your soul mate, understand that a male Sagittarius has the same attitude toward commitment as does his mythological symbol, the Centaur. He spends all of his youth and most of his adulthood in continual heat. He is an accomplished lover, but it's the deed he desires, not you.<br />
You no doubt fell for his boy scout smile and talent for quoting Shakespeare while simultaneously unfastening your bra. But, as a partner, he makes a great friend, one you won't see very often because his idea of home is a place to drop in when he needs a change of clothes or a shower. Since an Archer could happily live in a cave for months, eating crickets and contemplating his navel, even if you marry him, you'll feel like you're still single. Don't expect to lean on his shoulder or cling to his arm. Do expect to be his pal (or groupie) and to spend many nights alone. He's neither jealous nor possessive. In fact, he wants you to have a life independent of his because that allows him more time for drinking beer with his buddies and following his favorite football team around the nation. He is the one guy in the universe who was born to be a bachelor. He won't care how you dress, who your friends are, or where you spend your time, as long as you don't bother him with the details. He's too busy elucidating his latest theory for solving all the problems of the world.<br />
Archers have opinions on every subject under the sun, and cannot answer even simple questions with a plain yes or no. Ask if he wants a ham sandwich, and he'll answer with the history of Earl of Sandwich, the 16 different kinds of bread you could use to enhance the flavor of the meat, and a dissertation on mustard.</p>

<p>Michael de Nostradamus, the sixteenth-century French physician and mystic, had the distinct Sagittarian penchant for expounding on the mysteries of the universe. In typical Archer style, the good doctor's visions were not only voluminous, totaling more than 1,000, but were carefully crafted, allowing endless interpretations. This ensured that whatever happened, he could be credited with prophesizing the event.</p>

<p>Only an Archer would be as audacious and irresponsible as to predict events 2,000 years into the future. And only an Archer could do it with such a flair for the art of bullbutter.</p>

<p>A male Sagittarius respects authority, as long as he's the authority figure.</p>

<p>Question his right to rule and you'll soon understand the meaning of Jupiter's wrath. He has a nasty temper and his volcanic eruptions result in expensive trips to the nearest home improvement center for wallboard, nails, and plaster. He's impulsive.</p>

<p>Send him out for milk, and he'll come home with reservations for the midnight flight to Peru. He might invite you along, and then again, he might tell you that since you both know he has more fun alone, he bought only one ticket. If he does take you, you will spend half your time dragging him out of the local hot spots where he's trading pickup lines with the natives and the other half tracking him through the jungle as he searches for the meaning of life. You'll be better off staying home hoping he gets kidnapped by pygmies. The Archer's favorite game is Bad to Worse. Tell him the sink backed up, and he'll flood the basement because he forgot to turn off the water before he tore out the plumbing. Ask him to forgo one of his several nights out with the boys in favor of a quiet dinner at home, and he'll rant and rave that you are smothering his need for freedom.</p>

<p>Even lovable Archer Walt Disney had a dark side. Remember all those endearing fairy tales he brought to the screen? Bambi's dead mother and a raging forest fire. The orphaned Lion King stalked by his own family members. Snow White and Cinderella: One with a stepmother who wanted to cut her heart out, and the other who was forced to become a servant in her own home.</p>

<p>Yours will step on your toes, bore you with rhetoric, and hurt your feelings with a thoughtless remark. After all, he is a fire-breathing dragon. But, this guy is more like Pete's Dragon, Disney's character who flops along meaning no harm and leaving little lasting damage.</p>

<p>Capricorn (December 22-January 19)<br />
page 11 of \&quot;Blame His Star Sign: Why Men Do the Weird Things They Do\&quot; \&quot;I'm a workaholic, and when I'm not working, I'm hiding in my basement.\&quot; --Howard Stern (January 12)<br />
He's strong, dependable, and a bit shy. Whether he's rich or poor, he dresses impeccably, acts like a gentleman, and most likely owns his own business. A male Capricorn will impress you with his reserved good manners. He may remind you of one of those old-time tough guys with a heart of gold, like Humphrey Bogart, and his favorite movie will probably be It's a Wonderful Life. Before you tear up over this sentimental fact, understand that the movie's evil banker, Mr. Potter, is the hero he's modeled his life after.</p>

<p>Living with a Capricorn man is like being tied to a horsehair-upholstered armchair and forced to listen to a continuous loop of Night on Bald Mountain. By the third date, he'll have decided whether he wants to make it permanent, which will have nothing to do with whether you feel the same way. Once he's fixed his beady little stare on you, he can make the most devoted Taurus look fickle. Cappy loves applause as much as cousin Leo.</p>

<p>However, where the Lion seeks adoration, the Goat sees it as an affirmation. No matter what means he uses to get where he's going, once he's there, he'll act like he's just one of the good old boys. During Prohibition, Al Capone's bloodied climb to the top as king of the bootleggers was unmatched in the annals of American crime. Capone dispatched friends and enemies alike with the same cold indifference. He was a model of Capricorn ruthlessness.<br />
But he also exhibited the Goat's need to be socially acceptable. He dressed more like a captain of industry than killer, and saw to it that his intimate circle of henchmen did likewise. Capone attended the opera, immersed himself in Chicago society, and tried his best to give the appearance of a benevolent bad boy just taking advantage of the times by supplying the relatively harmless vice of illegal liquor to an adoring public. In typical arrogant Capricorn style, Capone not only broke the law; he publicly dared the law to catch him. And though it finally did, Scarface Al didn't go to jail for bootlegging. He rode up the river on a tax-evasion charge, and history has it that once he was in Alcatraz, he became Boss Con. Romantically, your Goat's basic attitude is that you should keep your mouth shut and your legs spread. Early in the relationship, he may forget himself and choke out an \&quot;I love you.\&quot; Even if he marries you, he probably won't say it again. He will figure that if he made it legal and allowed you to quit your job so you could stay home to wait on him, that's proof enough.</p>

<p>Depending on his financial status, he'll have either a mini office or a hotline to his bookie in the bedroom and will regulate your lovemaking with the same cool know-how he uses either in the boardroom or poolroom. He can be surprisingly passionate, once he feels comfortable enough to lose his inhibitions. But since he's not into role playing, sensual massage, or the use of mood-altering substances, you'll need the patience of a saint, and the persistence of a Virgo. It may take months to get him to lose the pajamas and quit shaking hands before jumping between the sheets.</p>

<p>He invented the double standard. The public credo of the FBI's head Goat, J. Edgar Hoover, was a bug in every bedroom and a rule for every action.</p>

<p>The fact that Hoover publicly scorned any behavior that was a hairsbreadth left of fascism, and wore a dress in private, is a classic example of the Capricorn's code of conduct. It applies to everyone but himself.</p>

<p>He's condescending and totally oblivious to anyone's feelings but his own. He sees himself as the great patron and expects to control your checkbook, social calendar, and household schedule. He's so tight, he'll inspect the toothpaste tubes before you toss them away and make a once-a-week trip to the recycling center instead of using the curbside container. Unless he's a chef or an auto mechanic, he won't shop for dinner or get his hands dirty changing the oil on the car. But he will dictate the grocery list and give you permission to call the auto shop he recommends. He doesn't want a partner who thinks. He wants someone who looks good on his arm. If you are a Libra, he's probably your ideal mate. If you are the independent type, be prepared for an onslaught of power plays that makes Scorpio look like a rank amateur. His motto is, \&quot;o as I say, not as I do.\&quot; He has the annoying habit of trying to make you feel like a dog he's just saved from the pound and expects the same loyalty and blind devotion in return. Should you manage to pierce his hide and wound his ego, he'll shut himself away in a darkened room and brood. Use the respite to catch a nap.</p>

page 12 of \&quot;Blame His Star Sign: Why Men Do the Weird Things They Do\&quot; \&quot;Start the day with a smile, and get it over with.\&quot; --W.C. Fields (January 29)<br />
If he isn't actually brilliant, an Aquarius male will be at least an innovative thinker who envisions a wonderful future and usually finds a way to make it real. His delightfully spontaneous side will prefer unplanned treks to out-of-the-way places; his practical, respectable side makes him secure and stable. He reads books, is concerned for the environment, and will simultaneously be your best friend and decidedly unconventional lover. Think you see a romantic breath of fresh air heading your way? That panting you hear crashing through the underbrush belongs to a cross between Drs. Strangelove and Frankenstein. At best, he is an arbitrary, irritable eccentric who lives inside his own head, but is overall fairly harmless.</p>

<p>At worst, he's a cold-blooded, cheerfully vile monster who will subject you to endless mental tortures, then watch you crumble with the emotional separation of a psychopath. He may have as caustic a tongue as W.C. Fields, who called his famous Leo co-star Mae West \&quot;a plumber's idea of Cleopatra.\&quot; Or live for years, looking and acting as normal as anyone else, then go out for milk one day and disappear.</p>

<p>A male Water Bearer has delusions of grandeur that would shame a Leo. He fancies himself as the world's savior, whether the world wants saving or not. And he will not hesitate if he must to force his plans for change upon an unsuspecting group. Consider Aquarian president Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose grandiose scheme for relieving both a suffering economy and millions of unemployed Americans included the New Deal. Social Security tax, social welfare, and the World War II victory (income) tax, all sprang from his vision.</p>

<p>Whether you agree with his political views, Roosevelt cannot be faulted for his humanitarian attempt to help the masses. However, in typical Aquarius fashion, the plan had little detail or built-in restriction, so it laid the foundation for the tangled mess we have today. Like the good Dr. Frankenstein, his intent was to restore life, but the result was an uncontrollable monster.</p>

<p>The Water Bearer is neither selfish nor domineering, but that's only because you will see less of this man than a Sagittarius traveling salesman.<br />
He won't physically leave home because his trips are all in his mind. But he will virtually live in the garage or basement tinkering with his latest invention, trying to contact alien life forces, or calling the FBI and offering his services as master spy.</p>

<p>He is fixed air, and like his cousins Leo, Taurus, and Scorpio, he doesn't play well with others. He is as obstinate, tenacious, and attention seeking as those guys, but he's also ingenious at mind games. It was probably an Aquarius male who caused the legal system to devise the term mental cruelty.</p>

<p>He's twitchy. Most male Water Bearers have a nervous grimace that people mistake for a lopsided grin. His electrically charged personality makes him the king of snap judgments, endless pronouncements, and long answers to questions you never asked.</p>

<p>On especially wild days his mere appearance causes dogs to howl and cats to hiss. He may be into substance abuse -- not to delude himself as Pisces does, but to simply calm him enough to hold a job. And the amount he can take and still function would put any other sign in a coma. He's paranoid. He will keep the curtains closed, the TV tuned to CNN, and the answering machine in action. He will expect you to report any unusual activities at the grocery store, or on your job, which he will immediately assimilate into his latest disaster fantasy. He will frequently hold conversations with the person standing three feet behind you, the one only he can see.</p>

<p>Although he loves to roam around the house naked as a lover, he prefers a good book, unless you capture his attention by appealing to his perverse side. The more bizarre you look and act, the better he likes it.</p>

<p>Pretending that silver buckle you're wearing is really a tiny nuclear weapon, which may or may not detonate the exact instant he does, will drive him into a sexual frenzy. Strap it around his waist, tell him he's the ultimate sex machine, and you will be set for a night of multiple pleasures.<br />
He's inventive, original, and, when in balance with his Saturn nature, an unstoppable force. Consider original shock rocker Aquarian Alice Cooper.</p>

<p>True to the Uranus-ruled side of his nature, he allegedly took his stage name from a seventeenth-century witch who spoke to him via the Ouija board. Of his band he said, \&quot;We were into fun, sex, death and money, and we drove a stake right through the heart of the love generation.\&quot; Cooper's wild-eyed expression, fright-night hair and makeup, and onstage penchant for flaming objects and gruesome theatrics such as mock hangings, guillotining, and murder of infant dolls that gush blood, all in the name of good fun, is vintage Aquarius. And as any true Water Bearer, he believes his job is to leave his audience feeling like they were \&quot;at the greatest party they were ever at in their lives.\&quot; His offstage life merges nicely with the Saturn side of the Aquarian nature. Cooper has been married to the same woman for 20 years, has three children, coaches Little League and soccer, is an avid golfer, and raises more than $150,000 a year for charity. Whether yours is a weird-but-harmless genius or a sarcastic anarchist, life with the Aquarian male is as wild a ride as you can get on planet Earth.</p>

<p>Pisces (February 19-March 20)<br />
page 13 of \&quot;Blame His Star Sign: Why Men Do the Weird Things They Do\&quot; \&quot;If I'm to be a chauvinist pig, I want to be number one pig.\&quot; --Bobby Riggs (February 25)<br />
He's a dreamboat who lives for romance, and his hypnotic charisma will leave you weak-kneed and breathless. He may be a visionary like Copernicus, or a joker a la Billy Crystal, but a Pisces man is intuitive, caring, and sympathetic. No other male in the universe is as capable of profound love and devotion.<br />
Unfortunately, he's so in love with himself that you don't stand a chance.<br />
The male Fish is the emotional black hole of the universe. Toss your heart, soul, and car keys, and all will disappear forever. This guy learned at an appalling young age how to weasel his way out of work and charm his way into bed. He's definitely sensual, sexy, and cute, in a debauched sort of way. Don't let the facade fool you. At home he may be a quiet little Fish, swimming around and around the beer bottle, but romantically he is the great white shark of the zodiac. A Scorpio man will hurt you because he has a morbid fear of rejection. Your Pisces guy will do it just to keep his teeth sharpened. He's a natural born liar. And he's honed the art until he fools himself. Such as when he's perched on his favorite bar stool, watching the sports channel and ogling hot bodies, but telling himself he's gathering material for the novel he plans to write. The only thing this loser will ever write is a smeared phone number on his chickentail napkin.</p>

<p>He's self-destructive. Pisces Desi Arnaz had every thing. Looks, career, and for its time, a state-of-the-art TV show with wife, Leo Lucille Ball.</p>

<p>Arnaz possessed the extraordinary talent for both creative artistry and business acumen. He also possessed the extraordinary Piscean thirst for alcohol, and roving eye, which ultimately left Ball no choice but to divorce him. Ball became a megastar. Arnaz battled alcohol and obscurity for the rest of his life. He loves sex games. Feel free to wear your nurse's uniform but expect him to play patient, not doctor. Buy a dog collar and he will bark. Introduce him to your best friend if you dare, but don't leave them alone. He will have affairs anywhere, any time, with anyone who will hold still long enough. And with an icy detachment that rivals his Gemini cousin. The Fish can leave you full of his declarations of undying love, drive straight to his favorite watering hole, and pick up the first available body. Or, full of his divine spiritual fervor, a la Pisces Jimmy Swaggart, hop in his Caddy and head for the nearest hooker. In classic Pisces self-delusion, when caught with his parables down, Swaggart blamed the woman for being a minion of the Devil who tempted him to stray. Then, he gave one of the most spectacular public displays of improvised remorse and Emmy-caliber acting since the night female Fish, Tammy Faye Bakker, ripped off her false eyelashes on TV to prove that she wasn't afraid to reveal her real self. Can you say Amen? Don't expect your Fish to be the breadwinner. Some Pisces males start on a career path early, but if yours hasn't dropped the remote and picked up a degree by the time he's in his late twenties, forget it. You will end up with a ne'er-do-well who thinks making his fortune means winning the lottery, and that Real TV is culturally educational. If you are a Virgo with a job, house, and checkbook, or a Cancer who doesn't mind playing nursemaid for the rest of your life, this guy was meant for you.<br />
He's tedious. He has a compulsion to use the same cliches he's used since high school and will invariably run a subject straight into the ground in the shortest possible time. Telling him he's not funny only eggs him on, because he's not after your laughter, he's out to provoke you.</p>

<p>All bluff and no substance, Mr. Fish is a cast of thousands and even he doesn't know what scene he'll play next. But, since he does like role-playing you could pretend you're the Lone Ranger and ride on.</p>&quot;

<p>{Yes, I know, this is a cheap shot, but you always have to consider the source. ;) Sounds like the AuthorESS ran out of signs to hate on men. I'm about to make rash judgement on her but I just can't bring myself to be that bitter, lol. WOW, what a BEEEEEEEEEE!!! Yes, I know, typical Leo/Scorp Male MAN-Stupid-Dumb-Inferior-whatever.</p>

<p>Just remember, your fathers were males too. ;) Deal with it.}</p>&quot;

Subject: Fw: How To Spot...a ba$tard by his Star Sign!!!</p>

<p>FIRE SIGNS:</p>

<p>&gt;The arrogant go-getters of the zodiac, who don't give a damn who they tread on along the way.  They may want to show you a good time, but only if they're having one too and it takes no effort on their part.</p>

<p>&gt;Aries: Throw a peanut in the air and watch who tries to catch it in his mouth - that'll be an Aries man choking.  This guy is such a chauvanist throwback, he finds the idea of women's lib totally baffling.  Cut him some slack.  It's lonely at the bottom of the food chain - and even amoebas, given the chance, mate with themselves.</p>

<p>&gt;Leo:  The ultimate vain ba$tard, Leo's entrance will always be preceded by a drum roll.  Should you miss it, you'll find him strategically positioned under the spotlight.  For a successful first date, wear a full-length mirror around your neck and say nothing.</p>

<p>&gt;Sagittarius:  Your average Sagittarian male does everything back to front.  He speaks before he thinks, leaps before he looks and loves you only after you've left him.  Philosophers have been known to comfort themselves with this knowledge: \&quot;I think, therefore I am not Sagittarius.\&quot;  They're not dangerous - just confusing.<br />
&gt;</p>

<p>&gt;EARTH SIGNS:</p>

<p>&gt;Safe, solid and reliable describes a very large bank or someone born under the \&quot;We're the most boring men on Earth\&quot; signs.  Be careful: that yawn-inducing exterior could hide dangerous kinks.</p>

<p>&gt;Taurus:  Taureans usually happen along while you're weaning yourself off the lithium.  They will have an odd-shaped skull, bovine features and know the term \&quot;control freak\&quot; was invented just for them.  That Hitler was a Taurus should tell you everything you need to know.</p>

<p>&gt;Virgo: Want to know what goes on in the mind of a serial killer?  Date a Virgo.  You'll find them loitering in public lavatories trying to wash the evidence of their hands.  Should you attempt to dump a Virgo man, he will almost certainly come after you with an ice pick.</p>

<p>&gt;Capricorn:  Goat man has the distinct (and rare) advantage of being good at sex.  Sadly, he will only actually have sex with you if you have an obscenely large trust fund, are called Kennedy-Windsor-Rothschild or share his ability to find nothing in the world remotely funny.  If you have the misfortune to fall in love with a Capricorn, remember two words: prenuptial agreement.<br />
&gt;</p>

<p>&gt;AIR SIGNS:</p>

<p>&gt;If you're after long-term commitment, these boys are not for you.  It's not that they don't care enough - it's that they don't care at all.</p>

<p>&gt;Gemini:  Characterised by a refusal to grow up and take responsibilty for his life.  Never ask him anything more emotionally demanding than \&quot;How are you?\&quot; or \&quot;Where did you get those shoes?\&quot;  He will be devastated if you ever leave him, but will have forgotten your name by the following day.  In fact, he would really rather keep you as an acquaintance, even after you're married.</p>

<p>&gt;Libra:  A confused little soul, who finds decision-making so stressful that he never makes any.  If you don't mind spending your life deciding how to live using dice or the I Ching, he's your perfect mate.  Remember, though:  you may have been together for 12 years, but Libra man will still be wondering if he is still in love with his last girlfriend.</p>

<p>&gt;Aquarius:  Aquarian man is born under one of the most reasonable signs in the zodiac, and will listen to anyone's viewpoint in order to regurgitate it later as his own.  He will have noble, humane reasons for everything he does, and will want to invent a cure for cancer and communicate with a new life form in another galaxy.  He'll never really dump you - he'll just stop having sex with you.  Still, he'll \&quot;always value you as a person\&quot;.  If you make it past the first week without stabbing the sanctimonious git, then frankly, you deserve each other.<br />
&gt;</p>

<p>&gt;WATER SIGNS:</p>

<p>&gt;The wishy-washy water signs consider themselves \&quot;deep, sensitive and sensual\&quot;.  What this actually means, of course, is secretive, paranoid and seriously perverted.  Avoid at all costs, unless you are a co-dependant who likes to feel maladjusted.</p>

<p>&gt;Cancer:  If you ever see a man having his hair combed by his mother or face wiped with a hanky, despite the fact that he's 38, that's Cancer man.  His relationship with \&quot;Mummy\&quot; is the keystone to his existence, and if you're foolish enough to marry him, you will have to play surrogate mother - unless she manages to poison you first, because you are not good enough for her adorable son.</p>

<p>&gt;Scorpio:  Strong and silent may be what you are looking for in a washing machine, but it's not necessarily what you want in a man.  Scorpio man is deliberately uncommunicative and witholds information, mainly because it upsets you and allows him to manipulate you.  Get out while you're still capable of independent thought and action.  Destruction is his middle name.</p>

<p>&gt;Pisces:  A pathological liar.  You can accuse him of buying a house with his ex-girlfriend and he will deny it, despite the fact you are holding the deeds.  He is not blessed with long-term vision, which means you will always find him out.  Piscean man sees himself as a hard-done-by martyr and believes all the hideous deeds he has perpetrated were never his fault.  Where to find one?  On a cross, feeling sorry for himself.</p>&quot;

<p>*I figured this one's okay to post, it's not too bad, and if you're too young to know what condoms are/are for, then this won't affect you anyway, Read Safely!*</p>

<p>E-mail message<br />
Subject: Condoms of the Zodiac</p>

<p>Condoms of the Zodiac</p>
 
<p>You've seen the need for condoms pop up unexpectedly. Now you're ready to discover a humorous new slant on sex via the Condoms of the Zodiac. Currently, these condoms are not for sale anywhere; however, AdZe is open to negotiation. We'll start with Scorpios because they're the most popular.</p>
 
<p> <br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>
 
<p>Scorpio condoms outsell all others.<br />
That's probably because people try to impress each other with their sexual prowess by pretending that they're a Scorpio. The truth is that no right thinking Scorpio would get caught dead wearing a condom. But then death doesn't scare a Scorpio. And a Scorpio doesn't get caught.</p>
 
<p>Scorpio condoms come in two editions, basic black and the stealthy invisible model. Both leather and studs are optional.</p>

<p>Also, because propriety concerns Scorpio, each package of Scorpio condoms comes with a pre-printed, pre-coital agreement. Symbolized by the venomous Scorpion, when you really want to sting your lover, you want a Scorpio condom.</p>
 
<p> <br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>
 
<p>Sagittarians are known for their worldly pursuits, gamesmanship, cosmopolitan attitude and knack for doing things in a big way.</p>

<p>Sagittarian condoms are the sportier models. They come equipped with travel cases.</p>
 
<p>Sagittarian condoms are the ones that go with you and grow with you.<br />
They promise a lot and they are extra thick to protect against fluids of a dubious nature. The archer symbolizes Sagittarius. When you want to be on target with Cupid's arrows, you want a Sagittarius condom.</p>
 
<p> <br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>
 
<p>Capricorns are known for their longevity, wisdom, practicality, ambition and earthy sensuality.</p>

<p>Capricorns tend to be on the conservative side. Capricorn condoms are the most durable, having the longest shelf life.</p>

<p>Capricorn condoms are extra strong to last extra long.</p>
 
<p>With Capricorn condoms, wing tips, pin stripes and brief cases are optional. Be sure to shake them out from time to time, otherwise they go stale. Capricorn is the sign of the mountain goat. When you're horny enough to climb the mountains of love, you want a Capricorn condom.</p>
 
<p> <br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>
 
<p>Aquarians are gregarious, yet aloof. Aquarius is a high energy sign, and one that is usually politically correct. Aquarian condoms are just a little bit kinky. They come colored hot pink and electric blue, and they come with a battery pack to light up in the dark and French ticklers for extra stimulation.</p>
 
<p>With Aquarius condoms, the packaging features political slogans such as the MiXXe Maxim, \&quot;Things can change overnight; it depends upon how late you stay up and with whom doing what.\&quot; Since Aquarius is a social sign, Aquarian condoms come in multi-packs and are detachable to share with your friends. Aquarius is the sign of the water bearer. When your love juices really get to flowing, you want an Aquarius condom.</p>
 
<p> <br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>
 
<p>Pisces is known for their deep feelings that somewhat border on mysticism. Pisces are idealistic, sometimes to the point of ecstatic bliss. Pisces condoms are truly extra sensitive and translucent.</p>

<p>Little spikes are optional on the inside.</p>
 
<p>Pisces condoms contain special instructions for erotic fantasy games. Pisces is the sign of the fishes. When it smells like love and you're on a seafood diet, you want a Pisces condom.</p>
 
<p> <br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>
 
<p>Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. Aries are action oriented people. Aries is symbolized by the ram, so naturally Aries condoms are made from the finest lambskin.</p>

<p>Because Aries often exhibits a \&quot;get up and go\&quot; attitude, Aries condoms are steel belted, feature racing stripes, and every fully equipped sports car dispenses them. Onyx packaging is optional for the black sheep. Aries prides themselves on being first and best. Aries condoms are perfect for quickies. When you want what you want when you want it, you want an Aries condom.</p>
 
<p> <br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>
 
<p>Taurus is perhaps the most sensual and economy minded of the astrological signs. Taurus condoms are made from the most luxurious materials with special models available in silk and velvet.</p>

<p>Taurus condoms give you quality at an affordable price, and they're frequently on sale.</p>
 
<p>Taurians may be slow to make their minds, but once they've made a decision, they're almost impossible to stop. When your love is a sure thing, you want a Taurus condom.</p>

<p>The bull symbolizes Taurus. Taurus condoms are the ones you want when you're really horny.</p>
 
<p> <br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>
 
<p>Geminis are known for their versatility, intellect and communications skills. Accordingly, Gemini condoms accommodate a variety of sexual positions and combinations. Gemini condoms are sold in multi-packs and come with a special audio chip. Naturally, they're available through mail order.</p>
 
<p>Frequently, Gemini condoms sell two for the price of one. They always come in special pop up dispensers so that you don't have to work too hard. Gemini is the sign of the twins and Gemini condoms come in twin packs and are the preferred model for double headers. When you need to do it more than once, you need Gemini condoms.</p>
 
<p> <br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>
 
<p>Cancer is a water sign and as such is very much interested in safety and tradition. Therefore, Cancer condoms are waterproof and heat treated for hot tubs and natural springs. Cancer condoms make you feel secure. Cancer is also the sign of motherhood. With Cancer condoms, if you decide to become a parent, you can always return the unused portion for a partial refund. Cancer condoms are clingy.</p>

<p>Never has history know a time when Cancer condoms were not available.</p>

<p>Fine antique specimens grace many collections.</p>
 
<p>Astrologically speaking, Cancer is associated with the breasts. The makers of Cancer condoms are happy to sponsor the annual spring \&quot;Breast Worship Rituals.\&quot; Cancer condoms are freely dispensed to beautiful, large breasted women. Cancer is symbolized by the crab.</p>

<p>When you're not getting enough love and are starting to feel crabby, reach for an Cancer condom.</p>
 
<p> <br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>
 
<p>Leos are known for their passion, pride, and (pro)creative urges.</p>

<p>Leos tend to be a bit flashy, showy and original in and out of bed. Leo condoms come in gold foil packaging with custom monogramming. Leo condoms come in one size: extra, extra large. Leo is symbolized by the lion. When you're ready to meet your mate and make wild jungle noises, you're ready for a Leo condom.</p>
 
<p> <br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>
 
<p>Virgos are fussy and particular.</p>

<p>Virgo condoms feature perfection of fit and they keep you neat and clear. Virgo tend to be environmentally sound consumer types. Naturally, Virgo condoms have the lowest failure rate, the highest performance rating and come equipped with a detailed, all purpose instruction manual.</p>
 
<p>Virgo is symbolized by the virgin. When you're ready for some ritualized defloration activities, you're ready for a Virgo condom.</p>
 
<p> <br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>
 
<p>Libras are suave and anxious to please others. Libra condoms are the fancy European models and come in fashionable hand- painted designer packaging. Libra condoms make for an elegant accessory on the best dates. Libra condoms are aesthetically pleasing to both partners. They are reversible and can turn into a diaphragm thus sharing the responsibilities. Libra is symbolized by the scales. When sex weighs heavily on your mind, you want a Libra condom.</p>

  Whats Your Sex Sign??</p>

<p>teritales<br />
Whats Your Sex Sign??</p>

<p>ARIES WOMEN: Wildly sensual, passionate and adventurous. You'll have sex anywhere, you know what you want - intense and frequent sex, you have a need for complete control, but you're also in love with love. As a mate, you are ardent, loyal, sentimental, and earthly. Biggest thrill the tickle of a man's facial fuzz.</p>

<p>ARIES MEN: Sleeping with him is like playing croquet with live bombs -you never know what is going to happen! Never expect him to wait for you to be ready - he will rip your clothes off if he is ready to go. Don't tease him or you'd better be ready to deliver. Fond of slave master games and he likes it rough. Aries men are also explorers, so be ready to go where no woman has gone before. His favorite position: a woman on her knees leaning forward.</p>

<p>TAURUS WOMEN: You expect your man to be kind and patient and make love to you by the book. Like to be pleased by sex, but don't look for unusual approaches. But you are a demanding lover and leave your partner breathless. You have a need for oral gratification, both giving and receiving. Best sex mates: Cancer, Sagittarius, Scorpio, and Leo. Most likely kink: sucking on your toes, one by one. You also like biting...hmmm!</p>

<p>TAURUS MEN: He is the ideal lover - sensitive and understanding of his partner's feelings. He prefers it slow and easy; he won't be your guide to the exotic unknown, but what he does, he does beautifully. This is the guy to go for long and luxurious oral sex. Stamina? This man could wear down a glacier! His erogenous zone: gently and slowly kiss and bite the back of his neck.</p>

<p>GEMINI WOMEN: Often the aggressor; you are never embarrassed by your behavior because you never adhere to any standards except your own. Your main requirement: a lover who knows how to take his time. You are a one woman harem, but a partner should be aware that in a relationship, the Gemini woman is looking for a combination of the spiritual and the physical, the romantic and the practical. You want to talk to the guy after you tumble with him! Best sex mates are Leo, Scorpio, Aquaria's, Libra, and Aries. Favorite gadget: the vibrator.</p>

<p>GEMINI MEN: He likes it with the lights on in front of a mirror. He can work any partner into the mood because he knows exactly how to evoke the right responses. Oral sex isn't his favorite pastime, but will take his time with the other preliminaries. Tends to be fast and furious, more concerned with satisfying himself than his partner, but he is more than adequate in areas of lovemaking that are often neglected by other men. He can tell a woman exactly what she wants to hear. His erogenous zone: move your lips and tongue lightly up his arm.</p>

<p>CANCER WOMEN: Will never make the first move, but you can be a marvelous lover for you are capable of intense sensuality. You will reciprocate passion with a fervor that will stir his heart and stimulate him to his best performance. On your own time, you have a fondness for masturbation. Your favorite position: lying prone while your man enters you from behind. Best sex mates: Taurus, Leo, Virgo, Scorpio, and Pisces. You may become a slave to sexual pleasure!</p>

How Your Sign Deals With Near Death Exp<br />
This is not my original work...but I liked it anyway<br />
<a href="http://www.stevenforrest.com/humorpage.html">http://www.stevenforrest.com/humorpage.html</a></p>

<p>ARIES: \&quot;Who's in charge here? I'd like to see God right now, please. Am I dead? Gee, I never thought that could happen to me! Where can I get a crystal palace backlit with white light like that one?\&quot;</p>

<p>TAURUS: Leaving the body, Taurus realizes that he or she no longer has a stomach and immediately returns to the body (thud!), without seeing tunnels, light, God, etc., making Taurus skeptical for the rest of his or her life.</p>

<p>GEMINI: The key thing to the zodiacal twins isn't the experience itself, but how they can embellish it when telling the story (or writing about it). Since Geminis are comfortable in all worlds, except those without telephones, they usually bounce back to the body fairly rapidly-- and the mouth tends to work before the rest of the body comes back to life.</p>

<p>CANCER: Cancerians can live to be 125 years old, and they don't usually have near death experiences, but they can come awfully close to having a near life experience when they get brave and venture out of their house for \&quot;supplies.\&quot;</p>

<p>LEO: \&quot;Nooooooo, I am NOT dead. I am not, I am not, I am not . . . Who are those guys in the white robes? What's that they're singing . . . ? They're off key. I can sing better than that! Where's the choir director? I need a microphone immediately. Unless it's Rolling Stone or Spin, hold my calls.\&quot;<br />
VIRGO: Working a marathon 60 hours straight, Virgo collapses and leaves the body. She moves through that delightfully clean and sparkling tunnel of light, occasionally reflecting upon possible improvements . . . but soon becomes so worried by the thought of her loved ones \&quot;managing\&quot; without her that she snaps back into the body like white lightning, sits up, and calmly pronounces herself alive, glancing at her watch.</p>

<p>LIBRA: Floating out of the body, then in, then out, then in, and finally out again . . . Libra sees a tunnel and a vibrant being of light at the other end. \&quot;Wow, is that Jesus? Wait a minute, maybe it's Kwan Yin. That looks like something she'd wear.\&quot; Never deciding whether to go through the tunnel (after all, what's death without someone to share it with?) Libra ends up back in the body by default, hounded by a mysterious compulsion to start a dating service for discarnate souls.</p>

<p>SCORPIO: Since most Scorpio's have nine lives, they tend to brainstorm different ways to trigger the near death experience. Once nearly dead, most can barely get to the end of the tunnel without meeting some being with whom they have astral sex. When asked whom they prefer to greet them on the other side, 75% name a favorite vampire, and Medusa is a strong contender.</p>

<p>SAGITTARIUS: Sag floats out of her body and has to laugh at the stupid way she bought the farm. After somehow BREAKING the tunnel of light, she absolutely refuses to return to the body, since she's been trying to get out of it for all these years (via clumsy accidents). Because Sag is immensely curious about whether the so-called organized religious have any validity at<br />
all, this stroke of luck leads to some amaaaaaazing lessons, until, alas, the astral folks tire of her and trick her into returning to Earth for the duration.</p>

<p>CAPRICORN: It might take Capricorn a little while to realize he is dead because there are special rooms set up to look like executive offices for newly-dead Goats. A sharp-looking, older gentleman-ghost comes in and gives Cap an instruction manual titled HOW TO PROFIT IN THE ASTRAL MARKETPLACE, plus a \&quot;job evaluation\&quot; type assessment of Cap's achievements and mistakes over the lifetime, followed by a pink slip (meaning the body revived). Caps tend to return to their bodies quickly, unable to tolerate non-physical existence for long.</p>

<p>AQUARIUS: Aq
