Sh.t
Hey, what are we, Motha Teresa heah??? Get outta heah! I know for me, it's like I'll hold back and hold back on people until I just feel so guilty for not giving enough of myself to more folks. Then some stranger will inevitably come along and I'll just do everything I can to help them and totally misplace the giving spirit. One time I spent two hours driving a 70 y.o. man around Tacoma because he couldn't remember where he lived. He was sitting out front of Rite-Aid, and I knew I was doomed as soon as I saw him.
He had a bloody wound on the back of his head, with a bandage wrap minimally adhering, and a cast on his calf and foot. As soon as I locked eyes with him he welled up with tears and told me his sob story (he had just been released from the hospital two blocks away), and there was noooooo way I could possibly refuse him.
We got to my car, and the first thing he says "Is it alright if I crack the window? I'm claustrophobic since I got out of prison."  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Within an hour he was drinking Ice House tallboys and smoking a joint!!! He told me all about how he was a displaced millionaire, and he had a name that was about 5 or 6 names long, "Sir William something blah blah Reese III" or something. He told me about his garage full of classic cars. "Back in my day, we called them minth," which I think was supposed to be "mint", but he was pretty emphatic about "minth".
He asked me my name, like, 50 times - because according to him, he had "organic brain syndrome". I don't know if it's real, and I kind of don't want to know - it's easy enough to Google, but I won't.
One time I told him my name was Ted (I'm a girl) because I thought maybe he would remember it better, and he says "are you a lesbian? Because I went to prison for killing a f@*." So, he was a homophobe as well. My God...
We finally found his place (a travel trailer behind a locksmith shop), and he went on and on about how I reminded him of his estranged daughter, and he gave me his phone number to "keep in touch" - yeah right, free rides all the time! Sure, why not!? And, as he got out of my car, I noticed poo stains running down the back of his sweatpants.(!!!)
I think that's why I tend to be so selfish, because I am so terribly easy to take advantage of once I do start to give. Or the universe is sending these people my way to teach me a lesson! idk
Sorry, I just love telling that story so much; shameless Leo! IP: Logged |

Yes, getting to tell it is like the compensation for having gone through it, right? That's what I tell myself when I'm in less than ideal situations, "it'll make a pretty good story.." IP: Logged |

The other signs are aight.. but Ophicius can be really messed up.. Ophiuchus people are so creepy - They just hate everyone and they are really aggressive.
I feel scared of them, personally.
If their AC is Ophiuchus as well - it's EVEN worse.. and with a Taurus MOON - OMG - Don't even go there!Be very careful if you meet one of these.
I use garlic... but pepper spray could be good! IP: Logged |

Not even Mother Teresa - was - Mother Teresa... if you know what I mean. quote:
She has also been criticized for her view on suffering. She felt that suffering would bring people closer to Jesus.[79] Sanal Edamaruku, President of Rationalist International, criticised the failure to give painkillers, writing that in her Homes for the Dying, one could "hear the screams of people having maggots tweezered from their open wounds without pain relief. On principle, strong painkillers are even in hard cases not given. According to Mother Teresa's philosophy, it is 'the most beautiful gift for a person that he can participate in the sufferings of Christ'

Oh no, and I just learned that I have my Moon in the same degree of Taurus as Mother Teresa, and an 8th house Sun...
I do tend to find suffering cathartic...
oh no.IP: Logged |

Not only that but have you ever noticed how a Taurus prioritizes their personal life? They come first, their job second (or family, their dog, their car, and then maybe you. And it's not done out of maliciousness. Selfishness...maybe.
LMAO! I probably do come first but I'd bet since my taurus sun and Venus are in h7 I'd be among the ones that put relationships a lil higher.. IP: Logged |

Right on! I see (what I would consider) arguments on here sometimes, and I'm like "Ouch!" just reading them. Some of the things people say would just crush my little Leo heart if it was me on the other end. Or is that my ego? Or are they the same thing?....
Anyway, would I be too forward in asking your Sun sign, Odette? Would it by chance be Aquarius?IP: Logged |

Dude!!!! No. Does that mean you hate me?
Aquarius is your opposite - It can't be good that you thought I was Aquarius!! lmaoI'm an Aries! (Capricorn Moon & Cancer AC)
What sign is your Mercury? And what degree is your Taurus Moon? My Venus is in Taurus IP: Logged |
