Well, there is one dream I could tell you about. Everything always happens exactly the same way...even though when I wake up, I think about doing something in the dream different next time. It's night..early evening, it's dark and there's a street in a commercial district of a town..looks like a movie set from the 1930's or so. There aren't any cars to judge the year by but people are dressed that way. There's a sidewalk on the other side of the street and people, 20-30 or so coming and going from restaurants, a movie theater and other shops which are all lit. There are street lights...set on those fat round poles which are set into the sidewalk with the large globes on top...like something out of the 30's too. I don't know what's behind me because I've never looked, I'm facing the other side of the street and I'm actually in the street but near the curb on the other side. This is where it gets really strange. Suddenly, I'm just there, I didn't come from anyplace else and I don't have a stitch of clothes on Which isn't really funny at the time. I don't have a clue why I don't turn around and exit into the dark because that's what I perceive to be behind me..dark. Instead, I take this whole scene in before me, walk across the street and proceed to turn to the right...on the sidewalk and keep walking. I don't look at anyone but focus my eyes on something in the distance...I guess if I don't look at them, then they can't see me but I don't make eye contact with anyone. No one says a word. This is a well lit area in a very nice..trendy part of the city and when I reach the end of the block, the dream ends. I haven't had this dream for a few years but it was pretty frequent over 10 years or so. I know it's me but I have no idea if it's "this" me. Hmmm, you have deja vu and I've had some of that in some dreams too but in this dream I don't think I've ever been there..nor do I know what city it is. Think you should find a name for the Soap Opera

Yeah it was nice to see some of my family from there...was an uncle and aunty. No I haven’t accepted any marriage proposals just yet, so I’m not certain when the wedding will be. I’m hoping it will happen before I hit 30 though...so I have three and a half years left. Maybe I should aim for 28 because each year I keep telling myself ok next year you’re going to get married. Problem is all these not so nice looking transits I have and will be getting around my Saturn return. I’ve read that with some of my aspects I shouldn’t get married till after this event happens…but I’m sick of playing the waiting game...I don’t know I have to study this further. It’s been raining quite a bit today which is nice because now if feels less humid than it was yesterday. Sounds like you need some rain your way with those high temperatures. I thought it could have been the cost of running the plant too...but why bother building it in the first place if the aquifer works just fine and costs less...weren’t there other alternatives that were more energy and cost efficient? There is a lot of room, but the further north you go the colder it gets and not all animals can handle such temperatures and environments...they need to live in the particular habitats that they have become accustomed to throughout the decades/centuries. Did I say I saw frogs walking? Oops I meant hopping I don’t like to bother carrying a cell phone, although everyone tells me to get one cuz they can never get ahold of me...that’s the point I know it’s pretty bad! I guess I should get one this year when I start to work. My family's soap opera would definitely win an Emmy! Fortunately no one was hurt...my uncle and aunt were driving a rental car and some idiot rear-ended them at about @ 30km/h at a stopped red light. A few other cars were rear-ended in the lane too.

Well I don’t know much about yachts but I’ll take your word for it. From the looks of the yacht in your picture though, it doesn’t look like the deck is too far from the waterline...is that typical? And how does it not get flooded? A million dollar or more yacht Is it a rental? Hmmm how is the sea serpent related to Neptune? I’m not too familiar with the mythology. Ok if I’m a cornerback type, what’s your position (the passive wide receiver?), and how many other players do we need to make a team? Yup I know my fire signs...passive Hmm if we miss Tahiti we might be able to sail the entire globe...how hard can it be to sail in circles?...all the more reason for me to steer! But I still want to stop off at Tahiti! Those pics are amazing...so I’ll let you steer for 99% of the time I feel a great affinity towards penguins as they neighbour my igloo. Maybe I’m not always fully charged, but I always have some amount of electricity flowing through me. I do need to remember to charge my batteries more often...sometimes my mind wanders off, and forgets to plug in!

You sure you wouldn't rather take the day off and spend the time with your family? Nothing really pressing about answering all these posts today.

I’m still trying to get a better understanding of what all the astrological aspects mean, and learn about the harmonics...looking at peoples’ charts, composites and synastry helps with that. I can’t tell you how many friends I’ve promised to do a chart reading for, so I stopped telling friends about my interest in astrology...until I shorten down the lineup. I never had toys like Pokemon either, nowadays fads come and go so quickly. Kids demand such things when they see it on every commercial break (shouldn't be watching soo much tv anywyas) and see every other kids playing with it. I think playing with the basics like what you used to play with is best. So how early were you outta there? I knew you played hopscotch…yet no barbies? I was ok with marbles...my brother and I used to collect pretty ones, and jumbo king kong marbles. Hehe I remember him buyng an ice cream container of marbles for $50 from one of his friends. Good thing his friend’s mother found the money He wasn’t exactly the best sales person. But my baby brother, he’s quite the entrepreneur...except his days in sales were put on hold when my parents got a phone call from his school last year because he got in deep trouble for selling girls’ email addresses! Oohh I’ve been to Asphalt Jungle before...but I never picked any daisies from there. Just took a walk through it. Luckily I never ran into any snakes. Lets hope you don’t sleep walk, and just have a ghost problem

Ok we’re starting with 1+1 today, and tomorrow we’ll bring it up a notch to 1+2, and so on from there. I just hope we don’t have to go all the way to derivatives. If that ghost is a math whiz I’ll offer him a place to stay in my basement. He can help me with my math homework! Keep the poli-sci questions in the mix, it’s a nice alternative to pure sciences and math every once in a while. I like birds. Period. Although most of the bird I eat is chicken and then turkey...it all depends on how you cook it. Too much turkey can make me drowsy because of the amino acid tryptophan. Jwhop if you’re feeling Greeeaaat...just stick with me, I think you’ll make it!! What happened to your grandfather's farm...was it passed down to other family members?

Taking me forever to post...

We’re lucky we don’t have chiggers or copperhead snakes here..oh my!
Is this how you remember them?


VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED!
Only because I know a few people who freak at even a picture of a ssssssnake

Beautiful tree...can they grow in Florida? I remember seeing a tree like that on my friends yard. Not sure if it was a Dogwood, but it would grow white flowers and we would pick hard red berries and whip them at things...but not at birds

Thanks for the recipe I’ll have to buy some feta cheese first. I might add some ice cream to it as well No I have to cut that out...even for dessert! Splitting the work 50/50 on deck sounds fair to me. So if you try to ask me to do your share, I won’t feel guilty leaving you with your problem My oven doesn’t see much action either, but yes I can bake. I can cook most anything as long as I have the recipe and ingredients...and the time and energy. But, food always tastes better when someone else cooks it. You’re the complex carb type of guy, and I like my sugars sweet and simple! But for my own good I should live without, or at least limit my intake. Hehehe Bigfoot with curlers, now I really should bring my own camera for our trip to Tahiti!

That's a very interesting dream...maybe it's symbolic of your present life journey?
Or it could be from a past life? Set in the 30s...does it look like anything you've seen in a particular movie? I wonder why you don't look back...are you afraid of what you might find behind you or what you left behind and are scared to deal with your past...or are you too concerned with moving up ahead and don't bother looking at what you left behind? And why are you neked? Do you feel fresh, and new...like a newborn, feel innocent...or want to be exposed? and want attention? Could this be related to leaving any baggage behind?

I really wonder what's at the end of your dream. Why bother walking on the other side of the street and pass all these people in the light to get to the end of the block. Why not stay in the dark?

And I still wonder what the signficance of the setting is...a nice well lit trendy part of the city on an evening in the 30s.

Deja vu...well because I can't remember my dreams,...I get that deja vu feeling when I'm doing something or something happens in my day to day life to trigger my memory and recall of what happened in one of my dreams...and I've had a few of the same deja vu experiences occur more than twice. Feels odd, because I get confused and have to pinch myself to make sure I'm in reality.

Well, you said there were marriage proposals so I took the liberty of thinking you were the one proposed to. I don't know about waiting until your Saturn return is over to get married...not sure if it's wise to turn down someone you would marry under different circumstance...without Saturn lurking. I don't know how the rain always seems to miss this area...same routine every afternoon...gets cloudy, gets very dark, wind starts blowing, thunder and lightning...some lightning so close the thunderclap is almost similtaneous with the lightning...but no rain They built the desalination plant because we had some years of drought here and because they just kept pumping water out of the aquifer...water that wasn't being replaced....the ground started collapsing in certain areas...called sinkholes. Some were large enough to swallow homes and in neighborhoods where there were sinkholes, property prices fell like a rock. The repair is expensive...even if the land only settles under the house and it takes a lot of dirt to fill a hole 15-20 feet deep and 100 or so feet in diameter. That's why they built the plant...to take the pressure off the aquifer.

Sure there are limits to how far animals can or will migrate over a generation or 2 but over many generations that can change. I agree, it's not always handy to be accessible 24/7. I need to carry my cell phone for business purposes since I spend a lot of time outside the office...no fixed hours in this business. But I would gladly turn it off and only use it when I wanted to...if I could get away with that One can take nothing for granted when driving. Other drivers do the damnedest things...like failing to notice all the cars ahead of them are stopped at a traffic light. Glad your family wasn't hurt. That yacht has a very common profile...the decks are low in relation to the water...gives them stability...remember there's a lot of force being applied high up over that boat by the sails which are full...hopefully...of wind. Excess water on the deck just runs off...providing the hatch into the cabin area isn't open. Everything in the sea is in Neptune's kingdom...including sea serpents..so I figure that's your territory. Hmmm, well, I was a quarterback. Cornerbacks like to hit quarterbacks but don't get many chances to do so and besides, most quarterbacks are much bigger than cornerbacks Takes 22 football players to have a game.

If we miss Tahiti we'll be dodging icebergs before too long...and trying to steal fish from the penguins when we run out of food Tahiti is one of the prettiest places I've ever seen pictures of. I had a friend who carried a charge of static electricity...almost all the time..and that was very disagreeable for him and anyone he touched. Tried changing lots of things...including his shoes...from leather to rubber...but nothing worked It can absorb a lot of time to study other peoples charts...trying to find answers to their questions. I've slowed way down in that area. Most kids have so many indoor toys they never get outside to play...throw in the TV and there's no incentive to go outside at all. I don't think that's very healthy but on the other hand, there's a lot of nuts out there now. Well, after breakfast, I was gone..either to school or out to play..sometimes I went back for lunch and sometimes not. No one worried..we were either playing in a park or in a friends yard....or, I was fishing, playing in the spring or a thousand other places. I think every kid used to have a jar, bucket or other large container of marbles.

Well, selling girls email addresses sounds like a good...lucrative business but probably a little risky. Busted! Copperhead snakes are common in the South...almost invisible on the ground and they are poisonous and they will strike. Asphalt Jungle is another...and derogatory term for a large city..downtown area. The ghost didn't bite on the 1+1=? problem, got anything more simple? But he/she also didn't turn the light on. I do like chicken...fried but not baked...unless it's roasted whole. Yeah I know about tryptophan but what's wrong with a good nap?

I'm always happy to get a positive medical diagnosis from a medical professional You really think you can pull me through...I'm feeling even more greaaaatttt today? My grandparents farm passed to their children and then to the grandchildren then everyone wanted to sell it...except me and one other. It was sold because the 2 of us who wanted to keep it in the family lived too far away and didn't really want to live there. Yep, that's the markings I remember on a copperhead snake..though I've never noticed the inside of their mouths being reddish purple...but then, I never got close enough to alarm them. Chiggers are just hell if you get them on you.

This is the favorite plant chiggers like to infest. They get down in the flowers and when someone brushes up against the flower or stem it jars them out...right on you.

This is some farm folklore. Blackberries and Raspberries should be picked in the early morning...for 2 reasons. First, the dew is still heavy and the chiggers are locked up in the moisture on the flower head and won't get dumped out on you if you brush up against them. Second, early in the morning, copperheads are probably laying up under a log or in a hole...later in the day when it gets warmer, copperheads will be found on paths sunning themselves and the sun will have dried out the chigger weed flower heads. So anytime after 11am...on a farm where berries grow wild...is not a good time to go berry picking. Yes, flowering dogwoods grow in Florida...there is a Japanese variety that grows well here. Sounds like you're familiar with dogwood berries. Well, I only shot them at crows..and only those in the garden, crows which pecked the tomatoes, peppers, okra and anything else that interested them...and it didn't hurt them...but it startled them enough to make them fly off.

I'm not too sure about putting ice cream in that tomato salad recipe but hey...as long as you're the one eating it..why not go for it? Don't worry, you won't have a problem with me pulling my share of the grunt work By the way, do you like cheese and crackers...for breakfast...lunch...dinner? As you said time and energy are ingredients in whether I decide to prepare a particular dish or not. I love Chile Rellenos and to do them right takes a lot of time....so, I seldom make them...that and the fact they need to be eaten immediately and not eaten as leftovers. Yeah, food CAN taste better when someone else cooks it but that depends on who that someone is. Yes, it's true, I love pasta of most types and I could go to a nice restaurant and make a meal out of their fresh baked bread...if it is fresh baked Sure, bring that camera, you never know what or who you might run into on Tahiti. I think we're going to have to cut down on the number of posts. It's getting much more difficult to get them to post up.

Thanks for the reading on my dream. I can't answer any of your questions beyond what I've already said Well, I've been places I know I've never been before and found everything looked familiar. In one case I knew what was around a curve in a back road...though it wasn't around that particular curve but one further down the road...so that was off but still, what I thought was there really was...just not where I thought it was. I think more people than we might think experience something like that and what you've experienced too. Pinching yourself to see which reality you're in?

I’ve been proposed to more than once, twice, thrice I was either too young, or the compatiblity wasn't there. Maybe this waterbearer should come down there and cook up a storm with lots of rain. Ok I see why they built the plant...definitly don't want sinkholes , and now I have a better understanding of why the district uses the plant and aquifer the way they do.

My guess is that most animals die out when they lose their habitat before they get a chance to migrate. Plus development is moving north as well, so that’s cutting the land animals can move to even further. For business having a cell phone is essential. Do you ever turn your cell phone off? I would during business hours well that’s when I’d prefer to turn it off. I’m starting to look into different plans and phones. My sister works for a cell phone company so she’s going to help me with a deal...when I want to get one. My family is fine, thanks again!

Ok if we tip or sink, which I'm now sure we won't, unless we keep the hatch for the cabin open, then I'll take care of the sea serpent with my Pisces Moon. Cornerbacks like to hit quarterbacks?...are you sure you wanna give me that job? Didn't realize that there were so many players on a football team. Maybe I'll aim for a hockey team then.

If we miss Tahiti I’ll show you around my igloo And we can go ice fishing there too! But I still really want to go to Tahiti, so I’ll let you steer half the time. Wouldn’t want me to steer for too long, otherwise I go into daydream mode and stop paying attention to where I’m traveling. I depend on fabric softener, but I can’t seem to get away from the charge after I get out of a vehicle. And if I’m feeling silly I touch people and give them a little wake up shock Well I can help you speed back up in studying people’s charts if you want to read my chart? TV, and don’t forget videogames! There was a report that come out linking children with TV’s in their room and low grade averages in school, which is not surprising because TV can be an easy distraction..away from homework. True there are a lot of crazy people out there Sounds like what I did in the summers I was nowhere to be found until dusk.

Sometimes my little brother worries me..I know he’s got some other businesses on the down low because he always seems to be coming up with money out of nowhere to fund his love of electronics and videogames. Are copperhead’s venom lethal and can actually kill or paralyze you? Hmm no show with the 1+1 eh. Ok how about 1+0=? It’s a good signal the ghost didn’t turn on the light this time...maybe we scared him/her away with the math problem, or maybe it’s just getting smarter and waiting for something more complicated to solve before turning on the light again. Nothing wrong with a good nap! Wish I could fall asleep during the day more often. Do you take plenty of catnaps?

Will reply to the rest later...and yes it is getting harder to post here, so I'll try to keep it short when I get back

Well if you’re feeling even more greaaaattt today I’m going to have to call you into my office Oh that’s too bad that your family sold it! Hope someone else is at least making good use of it. Smart of you to not get too close to alarm the snake. And nice of them not to come up too close to you to alarm you either!! I wouldn’t want to see one even ten feet of me. I saw a gardner snake last summer as I was walking through some trails and I jumped...would have hit the roof if there was one! I’m just glad we don’t have copperheads and chiggers here, so I could play in the grass without much worry Those plants look familiar...We have them here too, minus the chiggers...I think! What would happen if they got right on you? Itch itch away?

Oh ic what you were getting at with the chiggers and copperheads...Did you make that up or is that really the practice where you’re from? Let me guess you would make sure to pick after 11 so you got to see those critters I’ll remember that rule next time feel I like picking some berries in your neck of the woods. Fair enough shooting crows that are trying to rob your veges
