Not that its a bad thing, theyre all cool peeple. Now why couldnt there be a lot more Aquas

When and where babies arrive
Super Tuesday: The most popular day for babies to make their entrances? Tuesday, which boasted more than 12,500 births on average. That's 66 percent higher than on Sunday, the slowest day of the week for new babies (in part because doctors don't schedule c-sections and inductions on weekends).

Some (babies) like it hot: More newborns arrived in the late summer months of July, August, and September than any other time of the year. Paul Sutton, a demographer for the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, says it makes sense if you think about what happens nine months earlier in most of the country -- the weather gets colder and people spend more time indoors with their sweeties. Also, some people plan births to coincide with summer vacations, especially teachers and other folks who get summers off. November had the fewest birthdays: about 320,000.

Go West: The country's population as a whole is shifting westward, so it's not surprising that the six states showing significant increases in births between 2001 and 2002 (Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Texas, and Wyoming) are all west of the Mississippi. Utah's birth rate beat every other state in the Union, with 21 babies born for every 1,000 people. Lowest birth-rate states were Vermont and Maine, with just ten babies born for every 1,000 folks.

btw what i noticed is that in the fav sign thread i listed cancer females as my fav and u listed gem males ! haha isnt that ironic? u dont get gem females (like me!) but u like gem males. i dont get cancer males (like you!) but i like cancer females. that is indeed very funny and strange.

im not particularly fond of any of the three signs although i must admit that summer folks in general color life up in a way that other signs dont (each season has its own characteristics). but virgo men remind me of my ex husb who was an absolute friggin psycho. i can get a seizure right now if i think about it too much leo man jilted me at the altar uhhhh. cancer men im allergic to i think we went over this cancerrg.

oh well, not to lose hope, there are still 9 other signs to be with lookin forward to a lifetime of fun huh.

thats the reason , i didn't name them . but being a guy i meet alot males so i can based my answer on that fact. yeah , to admit , i dont really attrct gem friends instantly the way i do with say , the waters , libras and sags . it takes alot to crack a gem . tough people ( atleast in my persepective)

but there is something to add , i feel i dont think gem women do interest cancers in a romantic way , to use your words ,there infact is a invisble wall .

ive been guessed by a couple of different amateur and intermediate astrologers as being either a cancer female or libra female. i guess i dont look gem. maybe that is why i attract many earth men in the beginning. the taureans seem to be the only ones who like me more as they get to knwo me more (virgos and caps back off).

but water men have never really hit it off with me nor myself with them.

the reason i get along with cancer women so well is that they find an instant friendship and connection with me. we have the same interests and sometimes we can read each others minds (also happens between myself and taureans, and other geminis).

doesnt go for the males though, and i dont know why.

as for the consverative part , yes we are but no more than anyother sign . thats my feeling and i am not being defensive , may be the cancers that u met were the shy kind but they are in no ways big conservatives .

i can't say about the water people but i feel u are wrong if u feel cancers are afraid of your progressive nature . cancers like competent , optimistic , smart people that is the basic reason for thier getting along with sags . though i get along with sags but i dont go for the females ( my ex gf 's mom was one , one the smartest lady that i have ever met) , i think u know why.

i cant really say if i am attracted to gems or not , i dont think i have met the right one .

i dont think cancers and gems can generally get 'too intimate' or in romantic relationships that are truly fulfilling. even if this doesnt apply to sun signs it applies to geminian energy and cancerian energy. if one person has significant gemini energy / influence in the chart and other has cancer, it is unlikely that compatibility will be the best. it is probably also true for most gem girls/cancer guys

so far as the game playing, i feel like msot water signs want to play games too, esp with male/female roles. true gem girls like to be chased but not stalked of course. i hate how water men want u to act demure and housewifey and everything. i am not willing to act anyway really. if you are clever they will laugh and smile and appreciate u but never date u. well in my opinion its their loss

i have noticed more conservative cancers or shud i say at least ones that dont encourage too much questioning. i think thats a better way to put it. whenever me and some fill in the blank air sign gets into an argument (its always me and an air sign lol) then the cancers always have to try to stop us from questioning or debating . it really bothers them. and that bothers me! its like dude get ur opinion out there! or if u dont want to, then stop telling us not to lol.

btw in reply to ur last line, a simple Gemini rule which i like to follow myself: the length of the blabber doesnt matter its the potency of it! *other things could be substituted here too. roflmao * ok ok ill stop with the sexual innuendo.

quite potent blabber on ur part. i didnt mind.

Also, I think Cancers are even more effective flirts than Gemini. Cancer is all about creating connections with people. Flirting is also about creating connections with people. The difference may be that Cancers invest more emotion in their flirting than Gemini typically do. Cancer tries to give meaning to each contact, where Gemini may only be in it for the moment.

i would disagree with your statement that all water signs like playing games . cancers as rule dont. i'll tell u what u and others construe as mind games on part of cancers . i have said this earlier too , that cancer's system has a defect ,that is , they dont how to respond at times , especially when they know the the other person's intent . the girl that i have been talking of these days , i know for sure her mind , but she 's confused b'cos i'll give her all the signs but won't actually go and ask . may be this is what gets construed as mind game . i am so near to her at times then again so far . but this isn't actually mind game but more of thier idiotioc fear of rejection and let it go attitude . i , myself think that cancers lack killer instinct .

now , questioning in what sense , this needs to cleared before i give u an explanation on this . take my example , if i was averse to questioning , i wouldn't have asked u so many questions .
i must add , we take arguments to be a bit personal at times , so water people avoid arguments but even in that cancers do argue a lot .being a cardinal sign , they need to put thier persepective . but with others arguments are just that arguments .

cancers are tough to understand , no doubts with that . more so b'cos of thier stress on emotions and complete faith. other thing that is very very important is communication , dont ever give them the time and chance of making assumptions unless u have a friendship that has been tested .so, i can understand why u feel this way about cancers .
this what i have understaood after my fight with the cap , that actually give me the idea where i went wrong .

and i dont think cancers play games . they do when they feel they have a grudge , and the best tactic that they apply is social boycott of the opponnet . and at this juncture comes the mind game , they'll slowly and slowly start the boycott and be sure that they can be very good at this ( here comes u theory of thier flirtness mixed emotions into play , it is here that they use it )with this , they are also not very averse to the idea of using violence . that is what makes them good enemies . the two basic things that work for them is thier social skills and being violent (if threatend) .

and cancers can be outrageous flirts . you are right about the emotion part but there is one more difference in our and gems flirting style . we dont usually flirt with people younger or older to us .( i am attaching flirting to a bit of sexual intent too ,ofcourse in words only) we people younger to us , our protecting ,caring nature overshadows otherthings . with older people , our tradition bound mind atarts working , we will talk but they wont ever deviate to anything else ,even in talks .

having said all this , i dont know how i can my realtion with the cancer lady ( we have a big eight year difference) but then there too it wasn't flirtness but instant connection and my big big big laughs connected us. we didn't really ever got the chance to flirt even.

one more differnce is , we can flirt( if we think of it as making connection only) with anyone . but all this depends a lot on if the cancer has come out of shy shell ( like me ) otherwise all this will taker lot more time .
