My HorrorScope for Today

Your mood is calm and you seem content to go along with what others want. Fortunately, others seem to want much the same as you do, so there shouldn't be any conflict of interest.

Sounds like the perfect April Fools horoscope for you, wer!

Amen. Washing down today's pack of lies with a shot of Hennesy as we speak...

You're in a rather secretive mood today, and with good cause. A delicate mood of romance has gripped you and you'll drift off into a world of daydreams again and again. Your thoughts of the way things could be may be rather unrealistic, but it does help to engender a passionate atmosphere, which will be fulfilled...in the short term, at least. A person you've admired from afar may respond subtly today.

as everyone probably already guessed, this one was way off...

Friday's was: Your confidence could take a slight knock today. Someone may upstage you or make you feel small, and you may wish you had more money or status. Remember that materialism isn't everything. It was right on... Today's is: There is no point in concentrating on any kind of objective today because fate conspires to mess everything up! You may feel as though you are trying to walk with marbles in your shoes or talk with a mouth full of cherry pips. In short, try to relax and make the minimum of effort in any direction. We'll see...

Uh...what's your sign?

Temporarily Out Of Service

Saturday's was true to its word... Here's the one for Sunday: Rely on your instincts today. Things are changing around you and it may be hard to work out just what your next move should be. Try to go slow and avoid committing yourself to anything that will work against you in the long term. Your mood is suprisingly sexy today, so if you want one area of your life in which to try something new, this could be it!

did'ya try something new?!?!

Nope, it was a bust...

Today's was: Everything seems a bit dull and mundane to you today, and your rather restless mood will make you yearn to visit far-flung places. If your lover suggests you start planning a trip you'll jump at the idea, and practical matters such as time or money will be beside the point. Didn't happen...however, the alochol consumption did. Dr. Hennessey saved the day (and it only took four doses...)

Ok, the official one for Tuesday was: A father figure may be especially to you or, alternatively, an authority figure will offer you some good advice and a helping hand. Your mind is full of great ideas and fortunately the world seems keen to hear what you have to say. You could even find yourself on the radio, on television or being quoted in papers! Yeah, right... can't wait for tomorrow's...

send me the article!

I don't have your address... Wednesday's: You may yearn for travel only to find that you are stuck in a rut. An intelligent chat with someone you respect might alleviate your boredom ... if only such a person could be found! All in all, today could be rather dull.

Why, looky here, it just perked up! And you only had to come to the spring...

Thanks, Autumn

Autumn, thankfully, blew today's up, Thursday's is: Today is one of those strange days when the planets are not making any major aspects. Astrologers call this kind of day 'void of course', meaning that the Moon's path, or course, is unaspected. There is nothing special about this, except for the fact that it's not worth starting anything new. Leave any important projects for a more auspicious time.

'void of course' hmm... sounds like we have all encountered that at one time or another. My address? My physical address? 3857 S Clarkson Englewood, CO 80110 And I know you have the electronic addresses (several of them) so you've no excuse now!

I always got an excuse...

yeah, but at least I know they're flimsy now!

(as flimsy as what I'd like to see you in???) Anyway, Friday's was: Domestic bliss is on the cards. The Moon unites with Neptune to provide a happy and harmonious atmosphere, for you and all those within your family circle. Nope. Wrong. Uh-uh. Not even close.

Today's Full Moon puts the spotlight on your career. There have been a lot of changes going on around you and within you. Now you have to decide exactly what you want, and in which direction you should proceed. Before you can act you need a plan, so take some time to make sure that your strategies for progress are workable. Employers and authority figures will be impressed by your drive and determination.

Didn't happen that way at all...

flimsy, eh?!?! *smile*

something like that...

*sigh* anyway... Today's was: Many of your most cherished desires take a step nearer to fulfilment as the red planet Mars enters your horoscopic area of hopes and wishes. You'll be endowed with the energy and drive to see your aims through to a successful conclusion. Male friends are especially important now, as they can point you in directions that you hadn't previously considered. This period should see a rapid upturn in your social life. Excitement follows where Mars leads! (it was close enought to today to inspire false hope, I fear...)

Tuesday's (which was right on, by the way): Your dreams of freedom and irresponsibility have to be put on the back burner today. Venus's harsh aspect to Pluto shows that the daily drudgery is getting you down, yet it would be unwise to fly the nest. Be patient.

gemini: avoid sharp pointy things yes, i got poked with four shots, four, I say....(you know, like typhoid, etc..)

now, that's a party!!!! (do they need kissies to make them feel better?)

yup *sniff*

don't suppose "they" would be allowed to do that right now, either, would "they"?

oh, you read that? hell no, they're in the dog house *wink*

well, if'n I was in the neighborhood...

aw thanks, wer *hugz*

de nada, mi amiga... (although where would you be if he walked in while I was kissing your shot spots?)

shot spots would be the least of my problems then *giggle*

probably mine, too...

*giggle*

Wednesday's: Intense feelings could upset your digestion today. You may be too excited to eat, or unhappy and upset...literally. For some of you, the events that trigger this will be attached to your work situation while, for others, there could be a health problem on your mind. While the good news will be excellent, the flip side could be fairly unpleasant. (gee, doesn't today sound like fun...)

well? (btw, shot spots still hurt *sniff*)

thankfully, it was way off...*whew* does they need a good rubbin'?

good! no, but an owie smooch will work *tears well up*

*smoochie-smoochie-smoochie-smooch*

aw t'anks, feels much better now *smile*

so, fair is fair, howya gonna make me feel better?

dunno, where's da boo-boo?

can you give me a second? (g'night, Wolf)

Thursday: It is only after making a supreme effort to improve your circumstances that you will be able to sit back and look for something more absorbing on which to focus your energies. Today's stars will bring a stop-go feeling to your closest relationships, and it may be hard for you to define what you or your lover relly want from each other. (now, this sounds like fun...)

Ahh...as opposed to the total clarity which prevails most days....

methinks thou art picking upon me...

and MEthinks you are very perceptive! *laugh*

Friday's The Moon is in excellent aspect to the Sun which boosts your vitality and brings career opportunities. You can cope with anything now, and win through with ease. You're in tune with yourself, your goals are clear and you'll be able to achieve them with time to spare...

ohmigod! a coping day!!! take notes for me please!

you don't wanna read 'em... You will be more at ease with yourself today than for some time. You may have been pushing yourself too much, or trying too hard to reach a particular objective. This is fair enough: you are in an ambitious frame of mind and there's something you want to achieve, but you're being told to slow down and give your nerves a rest.

Per The Times and Jacqueline Bigar: Gemini: ***** (this means a dynamic day) Someone honors you and makes you feel wonderful. Accept a special offering or compliment. Others love you. Take time to share, whisper in another's ear or just talk. Tonight: Must I spell it out? BTW wer, where do you find your horrorscopes?

In a little book by Sasha Fenton and Jonathan Dee. Sunday's: The lunar aspect to Saturn inclines you to take a rather negative view of life today. Both career worries and relationship disagreements could be blown our of proportion if you aren't careful.

uh-oh

BTW, Wolf, how did things go yesterday? (*wink wink*)

no where fast (was a major grumphead, me, that is)

Awww, better luck next time the planets are aligned in your favor!

This is an excellent day both for you and your family. The two most fortunate planets, Jupiter and Venus, combine their forces to lift your spirits and add to your quota of love and happiness. Your dreams take a step closer to fulfilment as the planets encourage you to express your desires.

woohoo! sounds like a good one!

yeah, well, we all know how those end up with me...

Wednesday: It's obvious that you are well thought-of in your place of work, but when you realize just how highly you are regarded may come as something of a shock. A boost to your income and self-confidence go hand in hand today.

ooo, that sounds promising. mine probably said stay in bed!

thought it implied that the other day...*wink*

when was that? *wink back atcha*

Saturday, response #56...

yeah right! like that would ever happen....

Today's The most casual conversation will be fraught with misunderstanding today. If it stops there then all's well and good, but if serious issues are discussed you could leave others with totally the wrong impression. Keep everything light and don't be drawn into committing yourself to uncertain schemes.

They should just run that one everyday under Scorpio.

They should just run that one everyday under Scorpio and I would be a big believer in astrology.

bad day, Autumn? (both me kids be Scorpios...)

I'm afraid Response 71 is going to be the story of their lives!! (BTW, what are the dates? I'm Nov. 2)

the 8th and 14th, I hope... my little book says this about Scorpio moms: These mothers are either wonderful or not really maternal at all, although they try to do their best. If they take to child rearing, they encourage their offspring educationally and in their hobbies. These mothers have no time for whiny or miserable children but they respect outgoing, talented and courageous ones and they can cope with a handful.

Oh, geez, you're gonna make a believer out of me yet!!

Thursday's: There's a touch of deception around at the moment, and you can't blame anyone but yourself! Gossip is rife and the rumours all add up to a wrong conclusion. In other words, two and two don't make five! If you're concerned about your security, such as the future solvency of a firm, don't panic just yet. Have confidence, as your fears are likely to be unfounded.

oh wer, you should hear what i heard about you *grin*

from?!?!?!!!

*heehee*

do tell! do tell! (none of this private emailing crap! let's be PUBLIC!) *laugh*

The charitable impulses that make you such an endearing soul become a liability at the moment! Mercury moves into your eleventh solar house now, making you the target for every plausible rogue with a story of woe. You are more than prepared to help but make sure that any cause you support is genuine. At leasst you are assured of a convivial atmosphere with friends over the next few weeks.

Saturday's: You must be careful today because the mixed rays of Mercury and Neptune confuse issues abominably. The unwise words of a friend could be taken as gospel truth which will mislead you. Anything begun today may be abandoned when common sense returns.

Thursday: The movement of the Sun into your solar twelfth house suggests that the next month will be rather quiet and solitary. You may be quite busy on a day-to-day basis but behind this lies a need to retreat and reflect upon your progress. This is a wonderful time to repay anything that is owed to others, in the form of money, goods or obligations.

this mean I'm getting that long ago promised back/neck rub?

you gonna be in arm's length anytime in the next month?

when I pick you up from the airport, I suppose!

*lol*

The extra-lucky can look forward to a windfall or prize today. The influence of Uranus ensures that this will be an unexpected event that heads straight for your pocket. Follow your instincts and you won't go wrong!

Hot damn! Better get that powerball ticket...

The day-to-day duties expected of you seem far too heavy a burden. The smallest task becomes a mammoth bind, taking you away from your imaginative inner world. Don't build molehills into mountains...just take the day as it comes.

you sure that wasn't mine? (and a few days early, I might add)

Thursday's: You may notice that a friend is being a constant drain on your resources, both emotionally and financially. This has to stop, because it's about time this person stood on their own two feet! What were you saying, Wolf? *wink*

Where do you read those horrorscope things, hey? I wonder where people come up with that nonsense; the scariest thing is that they're sometimes right! I once read the personality description of Sagitarius, and was horrorfied - made me sound almost as b ad as I really am!

know what you mean riette! wer *sticking my tongue out at you*

hehehe...

actually, this one is for the week of June 26-July 2... The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Crabs, of which I am the official spokesmodel, is ecstatic that you've kept your suffering to a minimum while throwing off your chains. In our opinion, you've earned the right to sit in your underwear watching MTV and scarfing down chocolate eclairs for the next three days without feeling a bit of guilt. However, we earnestly hope you use your grace period in a more ennobling way, such as eating a ripe apricot out of the hand of your secret admirer under a spreading oak tree, or asking the three people who understand you best to describe in detail what's most wonderful about you, or setting out on a trip that resemble's Dorothy's visit to Oz.

i luvs the puppy!! c'mere, you little sweetie.....*smooooooch*

This is turning richly bizarre!

Wer, get that puppy outta here - think Wolf wants to have him for dinner . . .

or mate with him (!?!?!)

now that would be too low even for a big bad ole wolf like me. he's way tooooooo young, oh but he's fresh meat...hmmmm, no he's too darn cute.....

all the better for eating, right?

*lol*

I'd love to rescue the poor little dear from you, but then he might have the little guinea pigs for dinner, and they're so sweet. They're sitting on my lap, sharing my cherries . . . more competition. Sigh.

Monday the 13th's... My, you are in a restless mood today! If you can jump on a plane, leave the country and escape to a deserted beach, then do it! If, like the majority of people, you can only dream of such things, then take a mooch around your local travel agent and see what's on offer for later in the year. Your energy levels are high and you are keen to discover potential in other realms of life, too.

OH, no need to spend a $hitload of money, Wer, you can stay in my flat on the desert beach - you'll love it! Go on, take that holiday, get on that plane, leave your kitchen at home and eat out in a place where one can actually afford it!

(and bring your spear) just kidding, riette! mr wolf and i joke about this when we go out to dinner and it takes absolutely forever for them to bring the entree. we say, what, did they have to catch the fish, kill the cow, or whatever fits the situation. my horrorscope said something like i've got too many fires burning and that i should keep my big mouth shut.

OH, you're absolutely right, Wolf! Going out to dinner can take anything from two to six hours . . . It's a lazy, layed-back place where no-one gets impatient, everyone has time - that's what I love about it. It's such an easy, mellow pace to adapt to. Sometimes when evening comes, you think to yourself: now what have I done today? And the answer is: had breakfeast till 19:00.

Tomorrow's... This is a good day to look forward rather than back, and to try to make a better future for ourselves and our children. Long- term plans of any kind will be successful, but start work on them now.

OOh, that's deep. It is also from Bj�rn's guide to Philosophy - THE ESSAYS . . .

Saturday, August the First's: Today you seem to be in a party mood, and you'd far rather be happily engaged in stimulating conversation with your friends than getting on with your daily tasks. Unfortunately some things cannot be put off, but we think we can guarantee an enjoyable evening!

From the Microsoft page Infospace Horoscope: InfoSpace Horoscopes Sagittarius Even the tame and sober might be feeling all partied out. The Scorpio Moon fills you with exhaustion and vague dissatisfaction. Take a rest or just move slowly. There's no reason to push yourself right now.

That sums my personal philosophy.

And today we have: Economize in the nonessential areas of your daily life. It's hard to look at other people and not attempt to guess at their net worth. Call in your debts today, especially those that are past due. Guess I gotta pay some bills today. I knew that. And I have four rentors past due. And I have to pay our Internet access bill that's due every quarter ($1299).

and mine says: The conjunction of Venus and Mars in your area of personality makes sexual attraction a real possibility today. The combination of the two foremost male and female planets must spell love, or at least powerful infatuation. Only time will tell if this is going to be a lasting influence in your life, but at least it's fun while it's here! (and I'm going to the coast for three days here in a minute...)

Perhaps that means your wife's going to put on some skimpy bikini, and you'll be infatuated with her all over and ever anew again.

How was the coast?!?! The ONLY problem with Colorado... completely landlocked!

Are there no lakes there?

plenty of lakes but no beaches... interesting fact... Colorado is one of only two state in the US where water flows out of but not into! (Hawaii is the other one)

How very strange. And you live in this Colorado place?

*smile* yep. The state is at a rather high elevation all around and so all the water flows down from the mountains, into our lakes and streams and then out to other (lower altitude) states...

Sunday's: You may find yourself having to face the sad fact that not everyone thinks in the same way as you. Your philosophy of life is very personal and it may not be anywhere near the views of those whom you live or work amongst.

I was going to get mine from http://home.microsoft.com but all I get is: Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f4' Variable is undefined: 'TimeDifs' /Default.asp, line 572 Talk about a HorrorScope.

So I went to InfoSpace and they still had yesterday's: Sagittarius August 8, 1998 A great day for communicating your ideas and opinions to others; when even those who consider themselves superiors will be hanging on your every word and asking you for input. You may even surprise yourself with some original thought or plan which you did n't know you had in you. You have a visionary zeal about you today which will make everyone around you sit up and take notice. Others will appreciate what you have to say. A parent or child could seek you out to have a private talk, try not to be surprise by any revelations. And Sunday's: Your genius is matched only by your spaciness. People find you funny without necessarily understanding a word you say. Get others to tell you their stories so you can pick and choose the best and increase your repertoire. At a certain level, all experience is connected, so keep your eye on the other members of your group when making plans. Expand your horizons by taking on something new; a dance class, a computer program, or a new artistic means of expression. Learn from other people's mistakes.

(scribbled)

(scribbled)

HA-HA!!! Your day sounds more and more like a default to me!

I'm starting out my day with a dance class today.

A dance class!! What type of dancing? Sounds like a nice way to start a default day.

It is. It's called Body Choir.

Never heard of that. How does it work? Something to do with getting all your body parts to sing together?

You're on track. A lot of the dancers their are into Gabrielle Roth. It's free movement, a lot of body contact, intimacy, and warm, good vibes.

Cool! So you get to feel your partners' thighs while pretending to dance - no wonder you're so keen on these classes!

Most perceptive, Riette. Today's ... You won't get very far without the support of friends or family, so don't leave behind the people that you love. Someone else's reality becomes far more important than your dream. Remind yourself who you're working for. What once seemed like a short haul is now an impossible distance. Can you still make the trek? Actively listen to the metaphors of great literature and the moral of every story and consider how these lessons can be applied to your own life. Look for lost items in the most obvious places.

I'll go look under the bed for my missing necklace then.

whose bed? Tuesday's... It can't fail to be a lucky day when there's such an excellent angle between Jupiter and Venus. These two planets cast their helpful influence over travel and create a deepening of understanding. A love affair that starts now has the most favourable chances. Be adventurous and get out into the world - there's nothing to fear.

Except if you're married!

What did you say your sign was, Riette. (thinking ree head' now!)

No idea, Terry! But my birthday is 9 December1973 - what does that make me?

You're a Sagitarius, just like me. So the horrorscopes that I post apply to you as well. Ready for another one?

Of course yes!!! What does a Sagitarius do? On the little pictures, I mean. Which one is it?

You are on fire, and you are in no hurry to extinguish it. Lust and inspiration turn your life into an almost unbearable sensory feast. Naked desire appears on the faces of strangers. You are dangerous and happy to make the first move and the second. Getting a lot done in a little bit of time is your specialty. Romantic interludes and creative fun and energy are positively spinning out of control. A special bonus or won contest may grace you with a bit of luck.

That doesn't sound like me at all.... Would you like to go for a roll in the hay? �BIG SMILE�

I think Sagittarius is an archer...

usuall depicted as a centaur, as well...

alright, are there any luny geminis out there? or am i the only one? (oh, but i won't be alone seeing as how i'm a "twin")

I'd have to say I had an engaging time with a very good woman friend tonight. We went to see the new Gary Sinese and Nicholas Cage movie. It was a good night. Now, let's see what's in store for us Sag's tomorrow, Riette. Your mood is an inspiration to children. Adulthood doesn't have to be a boring proposition after all. Playing games is research and development in its purest form. Delight your childish side with something silly, like a giant bouquet of balloons. Borrow someone else's children for an outing to the zoo or the playground, followed, of course, by ice cream afterward. A bit of unplanned travel may be dropping some getaway tickets into your hands at some point.

I'm sure that is absolutely accurate in your case, Terry! And in mine, well: no way, Jos�! Only travelling I'm doing is to stick the poor kids into their playgroup, so I can work. Sigh. But we had yesterday together, and while there were no bouquets of balloons, we each had a mountain of ice cream in town. (It's damned hot over here.) Glad you had such a nice time last night, Terry. She's a lucky girl, I think.

I'm a lucky guy. Haven't found any loaner children yet, just working away!

Perhaps tomorrow's horrorscope will be more accurate. And a horror-scope it's going to be: Elza and I have to have some stiches removed from her forehead and my finger.

Wednesday's: Your status is about to be hiked up to fresh heights. You may be on the point of being promoted at work or gaining recognition in some other sphere of life. Even within the family, you could start to be seen as a person of substance and importance. Nice change for the better, isn't it?

ha-ha!!! THat's hilarious! To be seen within the family as a person of substance and importance; when my kids see me, all their little eyes say, is: FEED US!!!

They see you as a person with important food substances!

Yep, that's me! Food Factory Walton's the name! So what will today bring for us, Terry? Did you go to the movies again last night?

No movies last night. I had several meetings with prospective room mates. A lady from Japan and another from Morrocco. Todays: Sagittarius You probably had very vivid dreams last night and you're still feeling a bit dreamy. Your energy will be high today but there may be something which is not quite right -- something you cannot put your finger on. Keep busy and it will pass. Try to bury your head in the sand, or, failing that, in work. In fact, you can get a lot done today if you keep your nose to that famed grindstone. A co-worker may be asking you to take on part of an onerous task; it's not your job but you could make a few friends if you did your share.

You only consider ladies for room mates? Clever man! Hmm - horroscope not too far off. I did have weird dreams last night, which left me tired, and a bit out of sorts today. Started a new picture, but I'm unhappy with it, yet don't want to just throw away a brand new canvas. What a pain. At least I managed to post a picture in art - what a cheering thought! HURRAH!! And is your day going according to the stars?

Pretty good, I'm plugging away. And don't forget those quotes around your url's.

Quotes around my url's? Which quotes? I'll probably find out in art.

The quotes before http and at the end of the url before the closing angle bracket.

Thursday's: The entry of Venus into its natural home will do your financial fortunes the world of good over the next couple of weeks. This is the start of a profitable time in which money will come to you more easily. The true value of things also becomes an issue now, and you'll realise that quality of life is equally as important as making cash. You'll desire tasteful surroundings and comfort while Venus remains in your house of possessions.

http://www.RealAstrology.com/ gives Cancer this one for the Week of August 13, 1998 When Henri Matisse's painting "Le Bateau" was first shown at New York's Museum of Modern Art in 1961, it was mistakenly hung upside-down for a month and half. I have reason to believe that a beautiful part of your own world is similarly inverted right now. Are you perceptive enough to spot the transposition? Are you brave enough to admit it and shrewd enough to correct it? Or is it so painful to deal with this small mistake that you'll allow it to mushroom into a gaping, long-term error?

http://www.RealAstrology.com/ also says for SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21) Week of August 13, 1998 According to my reading of the astrological vibes, you will laugh more this week than you have in many moons. Harder and longer, too. Contradictions that in the past may have made you grind your teeth will now detonate your giggle reflex. Awkward moments which you might take too seriously at any other time will seem like entertaining slapstick. And then there's the fact that life in your vicinity is just going to be a lot funnier than usual. This could seem inconvenient, I suppose. What if you're convulsed with guffaws at a moment when you want to show how serious you can be? My advice is to avoid all situations that would require you to be sober and dignified. Give yourself the luxury of surrendering to the divine heehaw as much as possible.

Waaa-haaa-haaa!!!! Ha-ha!!! Giggle giggle. GUFFFFFFFAAAWWWW! hee-hee-hee Hoo-hoo-hoo- BBBBBAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Friday's: Today's excellent conjunction of the happy-go-lucky Sun and practical, business-minded Mercury brings a number of offers and opportunities which will lead to more money coming your way. You could have a great business idea which is well worth developing. If you have had any disagreements with others lately, you will find it easier to communicate your needs.

Saturday's: Some areas of your life will tend to slow down, while in other areas you'll be taking on more responsibility. You may find yourself in charge of some kind of project at work or running a social group. If you have to guide and influence others now, you may have to do so the hard way - by putting your foot down.

Does smacking baby buttocks count as putting one's foot down?

Which sign are you posting, wer?

mine, Cancer...

I still put my foot down over cupboard trashing yesterday!

InfoSpace Horoscopes Sagittarius This is a day to make promises of love, loyalty, or intent. Sign all contracts and commit to something that has tremendous payoff. Do not speak without thinking or act without adequate preparation. A sincere smile and a direct gaze go a long way toward helping your cause. Rather than trying to impress people with stories about your greatness, take an interest in themselves and their abilities. Feel confident that you can rely on your partner, either in your personal life or in the workplace.

And for Monday, August 17, 1998 Sagittarius Don't bother buying a lottery ticket today -- there are better days to win. In fact, your luck isn't exactly in today at all. Finances don't seem so bright today, so focus your mind on creating better systems at work. Try to streamline your tasks, and if necessary, bring in some help for your tougher jobs. There may be someone in your office who's just dying to win the extra prestige that a big job could garner so don't be selfish about giving someone else a chance. You may be questioning the ethics of someone close to you.

Sounds like you'd be better off not even getting out of bed tomorrow...

Sunday's: After a longish period of travelling retrograde, Pluto now moves to direct motion. This will help you make sense of a number of things that have been bothering you recently and then put them right. You may, for example, have been fighting against a confusing and worrying situation at work. Another possibility is that you've been feeling off-colour. Either way, improvements are on the horizon.

Monday's: Money is coming your way! Of course, this will require some effort on your part, but once you see the potential of a new scheme you'll be chaffing at the bit to get started. A highly profitable period is forecast by today's aspect between Venus and Pluto.

Boy, that sounds pretty awful for us, huh Terry? Have a feeling this isn't going to be our week!

No, actually I have to streamline my tasks at work. That's a good one. You've got to take care of the good, the bad and the ugly. Gotta run to a dentist appt. now.

Good think one can talk with one's FINGERS in here!

here's mine from that last place wer posted: GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Week of August 13, 1998 The Nyanja tribe of Malawi has a proverb which roughly translated reads, "If you should find the residents of a place frying their eyes, fry yours also." I guess that makes sense in some cases, especially if the eye-fryers have the power to make you so happy and rich that you don't mind being as blind as they are. But I'd like to offer you a healthier alternative which will be just as effective for your needs this week, and far less costly. It's this Moroccan proverb: "If you find the residents of a place worshipping a donkey, bring the beast some grass." OK, like this is so helpful. lemme try the other place *grin*

oh, hello! they were the same places. hmmmmm.....

from microsoft internet start You may feel overwhelmed today with lots of things happening but no clear place to start. Papers may pile up in your inbox at work, or you may receive a lot of bills at once and may wonder how you're going to handle all your expenses. It's important to take it easy and get organized first -- which may not be as simple as it sounds! Take note of how much you're making at work and where the money is being spent. Some of your expenses may surprise and dismay you -- it may be time to cut back on some luxuries okay now, this is more like my life (well, the overflowing in-box would be)

Tuesday's: This is one of those peculiar days when the planets are not making any major aspects and where little is happening to your sign. The only thing to do under these circumstances is to stick closely to your usual routine and avoid starting anything important. Just do what you have to do, and take it easy.

What are you, Wolf?

Yep, please include the *sign* when you post a horrorificscope.

did in #180 (gemini)

Sorry, Wolf - my mistake.

The sign, boss. The sign.

am i missing something here? ok, next time i post the twin's horrorscope, i'll make sure you all know it's for da looney twins! *grin*

Say what?

Sag... Others may shrug at your personal triumph, but that doesn't mean you can't celebrate quietly. Just save your loud self-congratulations for something that will be better received. Your intense inward focus may puzzle co-workers and friends. Don't worry about it -- sometime they confuse you, too. Explore your moods before you try to express them to someone else. A philosophical question may distract you all day if you don't address it directly.

Hmm....that's deep. Are you in a deep mood today, Terry? All I'm concentrating on is trying to do something RIGHT for a change.

I'm immersed in deep thoughts. By the way, Riette, do you have a video camcorder?

THAT'S your deep thought? Whether I have a video camera or not? No, no, no, YES. I believe I do.

Can you send me a video of you in your art studio that I could put up on our website? Mostly deep thoughts about mission, purpose, I think ratthing got me started this morning when I read his post.

While I'm sorry about the two of you feeling a bit down today, it is comforting to know we have men here who show all the signs of non-jerkiness. Only people with not-too-big egos ever doubt themselves/what they are doing/where they're going. I find it attractive in the sense that it's such a human thing to do. It shows that you care about what you are, and how you're getting on with your life and the people in it. It's when you stop caring that you should get really really worried. The important th ng is not only to listen to oneself, but also to the people who love you. Ask them too what they think, where they think you're going, whether what you're doing is worth while - I think that often the people who love us are better able to see the good in what we do than we can ourselves. It's funny, you know. When I read your and Wer's, and Ray's, and Wolf's and Autumn's, and everyone elses posts, I always think: wow, these people have done so much, have achieved so much, their path ahead is so well lit and certain. Why is it not the same with me? And then there comes a post like Ray's this morning, and I realize with a smile: we probably all think the same thing about each other! It's just nice to find out every once in a while. �BIG HUG� As far as the video is concerned - I'll do it, but you will be mega dissappointed, I'm sure, so be warned. My 'studio' is VERY VERY MESSY, and will shatter every romantic view everyone has ever had about artists' studios. Mine contains books, my hi-fi, more books, two pianos, the computer, pictures, vandalized canvasses - stuff like that. Nothing of the white and smart look, and I stand my canvasses on a stool, not necessarily the easel - but that's the way I like it, and I'm not changing it. So if it s not what you had in mind, I'll save you the trouble. Also, can I just send you the original little cassette? Because if I convert it onto video, it'll be PAL VHS, and I know you use NTSCH or whatever in America. Is that a problem?

Sure. Wow, that's great. Send the little casette and I'll convert it to VHS and play it on the website. Be sureto fill it with lots of talk and/or music or sounds but the sound tracks the big part of the videos we run. Wow, you'll do it, that's terrific. No limits on content, Riette.

For you, anything.

i think it's awfully sweet of you to do that. i would be afraid if your studio was all crisp and white.

Be afraid anyway, Wolf.....be VERY afraid!!! You'll think me a real pig when you see my studio. If you guys want, I could also do you one of Z�rich when I have a bit more time. It's really pretty.

InfoSpace Horoscopes Sagittarius Today is a great time to strike up conversation with somebody you don't know. A stranger on the bus or a friendly face at the corner store may turn out to be your next best friend. That person you always see on your way to work or wherever it is that you go may be impressed by your outgoing, eccentric nature, so turn on the charm. It seems that many are listening to what you have to say, and you feel perfectly assured. This is a great day to communicate, so plan to make speeches and presentations. Hmm, first thing when I came to work I was heavy into communicating with everyone on my project today. Anyone out here I don't know yet? If there is, let's talk!

InfoSpace Horoscopes Sagittarius A day for drama and action. You may discover something new today which you will want to know more about. Alternately, you could meet a person in an unlikely way, a person who will soon become vital to your life. Don't pass up any opportunities to get out and meet people. Attend all parties, particularly dinner parties, and speak up at meetings. Sagittarius is the true pioneer of the zodiac, and you will be no exception. Those dreams you've been harboring for a while could be just about ready to come true - if you have the guts to try, that is.

I think I must be a severely handicapped Sagittarius...

Cancer's for today: The two themes that are likely to be important in the short-term future are those of children and having a good time. We hope that these two are compatible.

Mostly, but not ALWAYS!

short-future? maybe halloween??

not sure...gotta work Halloween, anyway... Today's: You're in the mood for fun and adventure, but those close to home won't appreciate your apparently selfish actions. A money worry may emerge today which will do little to encourage domestic harmony. Very little can be resolved, so wait until this stellar influence passes.

Today's for Cancer... Lofty values have no place in today's rather disappointing stars. You may feel you have been let down by colleagues who do not share your ideals. Perhaps you're feeling moody and distrustful...however, there is probably a good reason for this.

Today's for Cancer: The Full Moon could make you feel tense and it could also bring you an unexpected expense which, when you come to think of it, is probably only to be expected. The best thing to do today is to jog along as usual and don't get caught up in anyone else's bad mood.

Cancer's for Friday the 13th... Many of your convictions have gone through profound changes since Jupiter went retrograde. Today, the giant planet resumes its direct course and you can take stock of the situation. A lot of confusion will now be resolved and you may feel that your luck improves as your mind clears.

Cancer's for Thanksgiving: There could be good things going on in connection with work or business today. Other people may come up with money-making schemes that are worth investigating. This may lead to some kind of working partnership that will stand the test of time. This may not affect you directly, but could, for example, apply to your partner. And for Friday: Neptune's entry into one of the deepest and most secret areas of your horoscope emphasises parts of your complex mind that you scarcely knew existed. Many of you may have psychic or spiritual experiences in the coming months.

Gemini for this beautiful Thanksgiving Day (according to the Times): Make calls in the morning; reach out for family and friends. You bring happiness into other people's lives. Wherever you are, be the lead player. Others look to you for different ways to solve problems. Tonight: Head cheerleader!

Whew! sounds like someone is going to a party!!

must've been another gemini, cuz it sure wasn't me! (although my daughter did some cheerleading tonight, only she's an aries)

Cancer's today: Close emotional links will flourish now as Venus, planet of love, enters your horoscopic area of partnerships. If you're in any doubt about your relationship then this is the time to show your affection in no uncertain terms. In more practical concerns Venus adds goodwill in business dealings, while the next few weeks could see the transformation of a rival in commerce or love to an ally and friend. Those who are single may find the man or woman of their dreams.

Cancer's today: Your financial fortunes may look uncertain, but an unexpected event could easily make good the losses you have experienced. Keep your head and be prepared to act quickly to benefit from any financial opportunity.

Cancer's today: A sudden declaration of love is not unlikely today. Emotions are very close to the surface, and no matter how you repress them, they are still likely to bubble over into the many areas of your life. Apart from the physical aspect, you'll experience deep spiritual desire.

Now, that sounds interesting!!

what's your sign, pt?

Cancer

Let's have some Aries mumbo jumbo!

you'd have to talk to my sisters...

Your sisters are both Aries? Are they twins?

yep...with different birthdays noless...

Born near midnight, were they?

yep...3 to 4 days earlier, and they would have different zodiac signs, as well!

If they really followed the Zodiac, that would not have made much difference, since both would have been on the cusp.

yeah, but it still would have been cool to tell people...

That is true. I'll bet that twins with different birthdays get plenty of comment

yes indeedy

yeah, but their poor mother! stacey, my daughter is an aries too!

ahhh, you poor dear. It must be trying having a daughter who is ALWAYS right!

Aren't they all, sooner or later?

I have TWO daughters who think they are always right, yet only ONE is an Aries...how do you account for that? :-) (The other is a Taurus)

taurus daughters bull their way into the clear into the front of everyone's attention and that's where it feels right to them. i like 'em for it. they're pretty funny with 'emselves. characters.

Autumn, is your Aries daughter the oldest? Just wondering if she's showing her astrologically impaired baby sister the way?!?!

all i know is my aries daughter is a go-getter. she is a mother-hen, bossy, and so sweet that it's unbelievable. my son, the gemini, is shy, has problems doing one thing at a time (typical of us) and butts heads with me (another gemini); however, my kids do fine together. which explains why my daughter and i are close and my son and i are not. AND why my daughter and son are close. now my husband is like a fish out of water--he's a pisces.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Week of January 7, 1999 The ancient Greek word klimax had several meanings. My favorite: a ladder to heaven by which a dreamer's soul arrived at an erotic tryst with a divine being who imparted precious secrets. I bring this up, Cancerian, because I believe the fates will bestow the gift of a klimax on you this week. I hope you'll keep a pen and notebook by your bed so you can scribble down a record of your electrifying rendezvous right after it occurs. I swear it'll become a metaphorical talisman for you, the symbol of a new chapter in your mythic quest for intriguing love.

Wer, tell us about how wonderful it is to have twins for sisters. You seem so vague about it.... �BIG SMILE�

hehe... have you been to Terry's new horoscope topic in spirit and/or porch? In spirit it's http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/read/porch/43

duh, no it's not, like I said in SPIRIT it's http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/read/spirit/43

Woo hoo, the new server rocks!

Mark this day, Jan 31st 2000 as the birthday for the new server. What sign does that make it?

wow... freaking me out... I clicked in here and saw kitchen_manager posts... I thought WER was back... no such luck, they are from January of 1999... Lemme see Paul, does that make the new server a Capricorn? Or would it be a Piceis, Piecis, Peices? (How in the FU�K do you spell that word???)

He's been reading some of the same books I have...scary!!!

who/ WER or Paul?

*grin* ...not saying.

... then you've said a mouthful... *return grin*

*big happy grin*

Any horrorscopes?

My 'scope says, there's a dark beer awaiting me at superstar's office in Frankfurt, well - you'd guess it's a very unhip bar, but it's my home away from home. And: that beer'll be used to wash down something that proprietor cooked up...

No horrorscopes here except for the fact that anyone logged onto Spring can delete my entire copnference...other than that...!
