i hate to impose on anyone, but is there anyone who could sort of take me by the proverbial hand and help me with a few questions i have? theres just a couple of things i want to know to be aquainted in the forum, and it might keep me from clogging threads with things that have already been said and done.

let me know

if anyone has aim i have aim too, instant messaging might make it easier rather than posting

Nothing wrong with questions. Lots of newbies on the site, so feel free to ask away.

hi randall thank you for answering my post, i had wanted to introduce myself to you as you are the webmaster, but i was hoping you would approach me rather than me chase you

you have a lovely site here. i cant thank you enough for providing this place for people who were touched by lindas life. i also very much appreciate the fact that you let people be free to express their opinions, i also know in my heart that it is what linda would have wanted.

i am curious though, if a post is just simply vile or just flames/ only meant to hurt another, is that deleted? i dont plan on making any :P but i did run a site of my own and sometimes trolls just come with no warning. there are some sad hurting people out there. i just really wouldnt like to see that much though i am not a fan of censorship.

part of the beauty of lindas soul was the fact that (i felt through her writings anyway) she very much seemed to be a person who would not be offended if someone did not believe what she believed, and was of a mind to express those thoughts. i find that endearing to her, as in life my sag rising aries moon often makes me somewhat of a controversial figure. i speak my mind, but its never meant with malice. i state the facts as i see them. when i do so, its very innocent and benign, just an honest appraisal. i absolutely do not mind when people respectfully debate with me, my mind is open to deeper understanding. she... would have respected that, i think. one look at my chart and she would have known what i am all about. linda had a profound respect for other people. would that more of us humans could follow her example.

that said, i have some more questions.

is there a place anywhere, a website or a thread, that gives bio info about linda? i asked some things in the forum 'lindas life' but i dont know if they have been answered elsewhere, and when i get interested in a subject its PAINFUL for me to wait for answers. they havent been answered yet, and im bouncing in my chair. :P

apparently some of the forum members had personal relationships with her. can you tell me who they are? i ask not to bother them with questions, i am not like that. i just want to know because when i read through the forums, it helps to put things into context. i am new, so there might be many threads i dont have time to delve into from months ago where this info has been stated. i would just love a brief history of whos who on here.

third question (and last, for now) i have made a couple of threads here and there, and responses are slow. is this typical of this board, or do i smell? :P i just ask because it seems like this forum has a large population, and i guess i would just like to make a couple of friends to connect with, enhances the enjoyment of the forum if i see familiar names of people i have gotten to know.

oops... another question :P i *knew* that would happen... anyway, the free astro course, what does it cover? ive been studying astro for 20 years, since i got a copy of sun signs for my 13th birthday, and although i havent scratched the surface, im hardly a beginner. at this point i am looking more into things like aspects, houses and transits, and eventually progressions, solar returns, things of that nature. i also want to get a good grasp of synastry and composite charts. im also trying to figure out which system works best for me, i am looking into uranian because it seems that people who use that system get a *lot* out of a chart, and thats what im after. its all in the details, mmm? would this course be of any benefit to me, do you think? is it for the pure beginner? or more advanced...

thank you for your kindness in helping this soul make the most of your lovely forum. i have a feeling from reading your posts already that i would like you, very much... and no, thats not a suckup because you are the webmaster, once you get to know me a little bit you will see that i am not awed by celebrity :P

~my best, ana

Welcome Ansfaery I`m not Randall ,but maybe I can answer a couple of questions.

Lindas Life forum, OOber Galaxy and Thru the Looking Glass holds many answers you`re seeking and anything specific, you can use the search feature to aid you.Don`t overlook the other forums tho as they are full of timeless secrets and Lindas majick also . Gooberz is the closest bio info I`m aware of. Altho she said it is "partly yes and partly no autobiographical", I and most accept it as 'is autobiographical'

Answers sometimes run a little slow pushing a week-end and a lot of souls are taking vacation, wrapping up a school year ect.. Relax, look around and indulge in the forums. Great insight and helpful info abounds . As an Aquarian I k-now it can be 'painful' waiting for answers

The astro course if for everyone from beginner to advanced and will benefit every soul .You can jump right in where you feel you are at. E-mail Randall at his web addy for entrance.

Have a wonderful week-end!!

thank you juniperb, and nice to meet you you went to such trouble, thank you sooo much for posting those links, i am on 56k and cant tie up the phone line very much unless its late at night so i really appreciate you doing that for me. i wanted to meet you too, ive enjoyed many of your posts as i have browsed.

i have a couple of other questions, the fellow greg? posted on one thread samples of lindas handwriting, yet they dont show up, and i tried to link directly but they still dont. is there another address to view them, and if not, has anyone perhaps saved a copy of them?

so gooberz *was* autobiographical, to an extent? i sadly admit i only stuck to her astrology, not being a huge poetry person (i write it, dont read it, go figure lol!) and i thought that gooberz was a book of her poetry. is this book still in print?

and another question (man when i get started, i jes dont stop ) is there a thread at all where people tell a little bit about themselves, like age, where they live, what sign they are, heck i dont even know what sex anyone is i sort of like to have an idea of who im talking to. heh. i have a bit of earth in me lol. well ok... more than a bit

again you were very kind, and i thank you very much. i must confess right now that i am becoming frustrated and disillusioned with forums, the two astro forums i go to are polar opposites, and i dont feel i belong in either of them. one has mostly teenagers, who do teenagery head gamey things which i have little patience for, and the other is mostly people far older than me, who are pretty much pro astrologers, and seem to me to be a bit elitist, as often masters of a craft can be. i just really wish i could fit in somewhere that is an understanding environment maybe here... we shall see.

Anafaery, I have no clue why those links are defunct!

Greg is the webmaster of consciousevolution.com. I don`t know if anyone here saved them or not, but he may have them.

Hmmm, I would think the Astrology forum would hold the most info about knowflakes. We`re a diverse group with a love for Linda and myriad of other spiritual beliefs.

I really don`t know the age & sex`s of many of the knowflakes either; it just doesn`t matter to me. It`s whats inside that appeals to me

You will NOT find an elitist attitude on the free Astrology forum or the Astrology forum. We`re all in this together, learning and growing in spirit! Do send Randall an e mail for entry and you can see for yours-elf!

Yes, Gooberz is still in print and you can usually get a good used copy on ebay. It is written in cantos and is full of majick and a must read for a Linda fan

its only important what is inside to me too, but i just like to have an idea of who i am talking to. like i said, i have a lot of earth, including a grand trine with mars venus and saturn, so i like tangibles

i just had a weird kind of thing happen to me as i was posting in the lindas life forum, in the thread about randall writing a book... its near the end of my post but im still feeling a little... strange about it. if you get a chance would you read it and tell me what you think? its probably nothing but it was just. so. wierd. i am psychic in my own special way but that was... what i said.

was lindas birthdate ever known? i know she was quite secretive about it... but i was curious if it had come out ever at all. i would like to see her chart, very much. i am sure im not the only one.

juniper, i totally feel 'safe' here. i appreciate that very much. i... am a... erm how do i say... i just am a child of heavy fate. my birthdate is a 26... but things in my chart as well, theres just a lot of things that i dont even 'get' about me, and apparently my chart has something unique about it (this from a very gifted astrologer with a lot of experience). i am a confident at times, yet still vulnerable person, and i just cant deal with people online who only want to hurt me and start wars. i really thank you for being who you are, and randall too... i cant really say that to anyone else yet, because i havent really talked to anyone yet besides you two.

do you know approx how much gooberz is? i am very um... poor. thats not an understatement. the more i read here, the more i want it. also must you have a credit card to purchase on ebay? ive never used it before. i dont have a credit card.

argh that post is in the back of my head.

*i edited this to say that you did see it, i feel kinda better now hehe, its totally silly and im not prone to these kind of feelings, im normally very grounded but that was just bloody weird. there has never been a parade here in the 6 years ive lived here (as far as i know) and i had no idea it was occuring today.

btw i adore aquariuses

Hi anafaery,

I see you're all taken care of by Randall & juniperb, but here's a little more from me:

I've been here since March, and have read a lot of older posts, so my impression is that this is a pretty 'safe' forum as far as the prospect of expressing personal beliefs and experiences goes -- no flamewars to speak of, with a notable exception of what happened over the Iraq war, in the Global Unity forum. It got very heated and political, but the flames did die down. Maybe that forum will be reborn in peace some day.

Generally there is respect for people, and when there's a lapse, Knowflakes deal with it by speaking out. Only Randall could say if he has ever had to delete nasty posts, bar members, etc., and I've a funny feeling his lips would be sealed over that one. Awhile back I tried asking how many Knowflakes there are, but nope, he's a Sphinx about certain things about Knowflakes' personal business, and you know, that's just fine with me. Hi Randall! <waves at Randall>

Regarding getting your posts answered quickly, yes, people get busy, or miss threads, and certain forums seem to have busy, ergo absent moderators... (at least a couple are off writing books) so if your topic isn't replied to after awhile, you can always add a new reply to your thread and bring it back to the top to people's attention -- I don't know about other boards you frequent, but we do that here all the time.

I can't find it but Aphrodite just posted Linda's full birthdata last week -- it's April 9th I think -- I'll look some more, it might be in the Free Astrology Course.

I'm an Aries with a 17 birthday, so cheers from another 8 vibration across the polar axis!

PS you're not "imposing" -- it's a pleasure when someone takes the time to learn about a new place and asks good questions.

nice to meet you lunargirl! call me ana if you like.

thank you for your 'take' on these forums. thats exactly the kind of thing i wanted to know. i found lindas birthdate too, i posted it in the 'lindas life' forum.

is there a place where people post pictures of themselves? i had heard one mentioned in a thread somewhere.

i had asked about some things in the lindas life forum too... but i answered most of them myself anyway. thing is, this 56k really is a pain in the patootey. i cant tie up the phone line for long periods unless its middle of the night, sometimes i dont care and do it anyway but i cant do it often. i read very fast, and aries moon makes me impatient as all get out, and the pages load so darn slow. i have to say though that this forum is better than most, it loads fairly fast. ubb is my favorate board, i have one of my own sort of. i wish you had some of the features mine does anyway if i ask for info that i might have found had i looked a little longer, its partially not my fault

it is nice meeting you i look forward to getting to know you more. i adore aries too mostly the women though, aries men and i often clash, lol. its all good
