All,When liars, sh*t-heads, and a**-holes muck up a public discussion forum it is because they are NOT being ignored. Friends, stop arguing with idiots. Stop feeding the trolls. IP: Logged |

Beebuddy. You might be on to something. Maybe I shall let it go, as nothing will come of it. I like feeling passionately about things too.. sometimes opposition clarifies your passion... I should let it go, as it is going back and forth, with no real learning. Thanks for the reminder.IP: Logged |

It's obvious nothing has come out of all this bickering. Being opposite in nature...Scorpios vs Taurus...seems to have a part in this. No need to leave because of one person. PLEASE STOP COMMUNICATING AND REACTING TO ONE ANOTHER. GIVE IT UP! It's sooo annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's funny you say that.. opposites in nature.... Some of my favourites here are Tauruses. In real life too... Maybe it is that particular blend, and what we bring in to it.My dad is visiting.. He is a Scorpio, his lady is a Taurus. We were discussing things, and Astrology really seemed to explain the little things he has been feeling in his life. Made a lot of sense.. astrology in study and action.. Fixed, rigid. Luckily, I am also willing to go with the flow.. and while I will be around to explore, I am willing to let go as well. All about lessons in life and learning from mistakes and accountability.

Hey!! This is so funny! My horoscope forecast for today... "Things, names, and directions get lost, misplaced, or forgotten. Because this time period may undermine your hold on life, escaping the temporary madness looks appealing. However, accepting the apparent chaos, rather than avoiding it, can lessen or eliminate the distortion of a certain reality-though you may prefer fantasy to anything else now. Distinguishing between fact and fiction is a challenge. If you agree to anything now, do it with your eyes wide open; otherwise you may be blind to the truth."

What's the horoscope for Taurus? Not communicating as you've been doing for the past couple of days wouldnt mean you're avoiding the situation. Has the chaos even been accepted? IP: Logged |

Lotusheartone,A little paranoid are we? There were no posts addressed to you by "beebuddy", nor were there any posts which made reference to you by "beebuddy". The fact is, is that we LET people bother us when we don't really need to, and THAT is message of this thread. IP: Logged |

MysticGemini,It's clear from Lotusheartone's post in this thread that she interpreted the first post to be about her. Her words, "I love you TOO", were written as if in response to something posted by "beebuddy", but nothing was said to her or about her. She seems a little bit paranoid to say the least. Also, the point of this thread was not to pick sides in an argument, it is to point out that when someone bothers us it is OUR fault for not shutting up and ignoring them.

... not to mention that it's our own foolishness for taking people's (or our own) thoughts/opinions so seriously as to be bothered by them.IP: Logged |

LOL- love the pics!I think we all react when we feel that someone has misjudged us, hurt or threatened our sense of pride. I think when this happens, it helps to take some time to first let the emotions calm down, then a bit later-once this is done- try and understand where that person was coming from, why they were feeling that way- perhaps they were having a bad day- etc. Deep down we are all the same really. And someone, somewhere has felt the same as you have; experienced the same trials and tribulations. It is much better to confront that person calmly, rationally and diplomatically. I know that when I feel angry at someone, it eats away at me. I loose sleep over it. Only when I resolve the issue is the weight lifted. God knows I do my share of argueing! And I'm SO tired of it. It isn't healthy. I've got a love-hate relationship with my mother; I'm always reacting (and definetly over-reacting) to her judgements and criticism. And when I do, it hurts me. There was a time when I cut myself off from my family- during those days my life felt as though it were shrouded in darkness. I now believe that the source of the majority of my problems has been my ego. Anyway- I'm fed up with fighting- it literally makes me sick. And I think Linda was right when she wrote about the power of sound and words in her book. It has been shown that even plants react to sound. Wish me the best for my quest- I am actually going to try and stop reacting now-whenever I feel someone critisizes me or brings me down....I'll need it! IP: Logged |

Hi Kiwigirl and Listen to Trees,How are you both? I understand the sentiment behind your writings and I listened to what you said......I feel it is sound advice. Having said that I am so glad I DID speak out, especially for the likes of Pixie and Fayte......true friends are valuable and these women have rocked my world!! I wouldnt sit by on the sidelines, just watching. Even if I hadnt been involved, I would have been up there for them.....as have Pixie and Fayte for me!! It was great to get the support of the men too, AG and MM have been awesome!! If anyone hurts my family and friends I am always gonna defend, moreso now I am a Mammy!! Kiwigirl, how are you, and thanks for taking the time to support, another Scorpio sister....we seem to be growing in number - the 8th sign - strength in numbers, I feel this is part of my karma - thanks again lovely, its really appreciated. And to all who sail in this at times stormy vessel........ Love and light Sue G xxxx
