Ami,

Of late, I see that the Personal Readings forum gets overrun with threads addressed to you. I suggest starting a thread "Natal (or Synastry) Readings by Ami" or some such, where knowflakes can address requests to you directly, because frankly these threads are drowning out requests from new members and others who may have genuine needs but don't get a chance to get help because of the number of these other active threads out there on the first page alone. There are benefits to you as well with the notification feature and getting everyone in an ordered queue.

I see you have threads requesting other knowflakes to help in that forum - it's just not going to happen unless these threads get contained; in fact, I'm pretty sure that many of us who can and are willing to help may cut down on visits to that forum because of all the clutter. Please get that thread going, and direct anyone you volunteer to read for to that thread, and NOT to start a new thread, so the forum does not get further cluttered and deter traffic.

Thanks a bunch,
Sunshine

This is what I think you should do Sunshine.
I am assuming you want a real solution here and this is not any sort of personal issue with me.
I will address this with that belief.

If you see a need try to fill it.If you see a struggling person offer yourself.If you see a new person hurting on Astro 2,offer yourself.If a new person posts in Personal readings offer yourself.
If I have offered myself first jump in.We will all talk together.
If you want to do a separate chart with that person,ask them if they want a horary or another offering from you.
Make a separate thread with their horary or another chart you want to do for them.
They can address it to you for ease of doing it.
I will be the first to jump in to learn from you.
You add to Forum by sharing YOUR gifts .You increase the forum by adding what YOU can .That is positive.
When my website comes on board I may not be here as much.I do not want separate threads for me as my time here may be less in the future.
I look forward to reading all YOUR threads that are helping people!

Right now Oliviaa and I are talking to Beach Bunny.Do that !
Jump in on any thread. I may have offered to help that person but I don't own LL.
Randall does.
We all are here to give what we can give.We are all here to receive from each other,too
Please give of yourself.That is the way to find who YOU are.
Don't look sideways at me.Look forward to yourself and what you can develop and give to others!

It would be difficult to contain requests to one string, since the Newflakes keep starting their own strings...but despite Ami's name on them, anyone can contribute. I think they put Ami's name due to her being so active in helping there. I don't view it as clutter. Remember, we formed Personal Readings to unclutter the rest of our Forums, so it can't really be cluttered itself.

I could probably be uuber strict there and try to enforce keeping requests to a person on one string, but it would involve closing a lot of new strings (which would look cluttery), and I don't want to discourage people from freely posting or scare off Newflakes who may be apprehensive at first.

Of course this isn't a personal issue - read over my original (unedited) post above if you're doubtful. I was just making a suggestion to contain requests since a good number of them are addressed to you in that forum. We have done that several times in the past at LL - people offer personal readings in one thread all the time. It's really no big deal.

There was no need to take offense. I saw your edited comments above - why are you so agitated over a suggestion? I saw your offline message to me as well (Did you really need to resort to name-calling?) and have responded. Again, calm yourself down!!

Randall,

It's up to you what you want to do. I just made a suggestion based on the number of threads I observed there, and figured it would be helpful to her in ordering them as well as in keeping the first page a little more ordered for people both requesting and responding to threads. I don't think threads need to be deleted; this is a suggestion for future management.

But obviously, this upsets Ami. Let's just leave those threads be.. no re-org.

And, not that this had anything to do with the original thread topic, but I do offer readings to many as you yourself know, Ami - I've done a couple for you and for folks you've referred to talk to me. I fit them in as & when I can with my schedule, and in fact spend many a late night doing these - as you probably know. If and when I feel I can offer readings on a regular basis, I won't hesitate to start a "readings by Sunshine" thread.

Ok Sunshine
I accept what you are saying.I am an earth void.I would go crazy if things got really structured in there like traffic routed in a detour.
I would prolly have to leave lol

Actually,Sunshine I am doing some of my own new things to keep it running a little better like stopping at certain points in one chart and going on to another when the stopping point seems like it has come.
It is an intuitive thing cuz some readings will go many,many posts and others fewer.

I have many Earth planets and have a tendency to want to organize everything. I work through one chart / one thread at a time, and like to have my to-do lists even if they are just ordered in my mind and not necessarily written down.. I couldn't do multiple readings in one day - I may only write in a couple threads a day if I'm doing detailed readings because I need to maintain focus. I guess it's just the difference between people.

You're welcome to do what works for you; I guess each person should be free to operate as they like..

Actually
We have a nice warm vibe in PR.I am not organized but the vibe seems warm and nice.
I am like that in life. I find organization literally painful lol

------------------
It doesn't happen all at once.You become.It takes a long time.That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily,or have sharp edges,or who have to be carefully kept.
Generally,by the time you are Real most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby.
But these things don't matter at all,because once you are Real you can't be ugly ,except to people who don't understand.

Sunshine
I was thinking about you with the earth and me with the earth void.
They are very different approaches .
I have been a very different type of female than most females.
I thought there was something wrong with me but it is the earth void.
I do not care about things most woman care about like dishes,decorating, weddings, all the details that go in to things like a wedding etc
I am happy to study things and don't care too much about my environment.
In any environment ,it is more the "feel" of it than the logical workings of it that impress me.
I guess the PR thing is kind of just different approaches to life.
Neither is right or wrong. Each person is so different inherently.
The charts show you that.
Yay to Astrology

<<<<<<<<<<< Is painfully obsessive about mental clutter lol

I can see the point in having a single thread per person (reader) type thing if they're wanting to address you specifically but hey I organise my CD's into male/female/bands and then alphabetical order and my books are very ordered too

But on the other hand my bedroom looks like armageddon hit and it's been like that for over a year!

I have a grand trine in earth between the mc, north node and mars in the 6th, so that's a grand earth trine in the earth houses. How anally retentive am I?

Wow.. that is really impressive!! So that is what a grand earth trine does!! I just organize my CDs by genre, and when I burn mix CDs, the songs on them get organized alphabetically by artist name & then by year or month of release.. (I have Sun, Moon, Mercury & Mars in Capricorn)

LOL.. I have areas where chaos reigns too.. perhaps it is natural for spill-over when everything else is so organized!

I always thought there was something wrong with me cuz I do not care for the things of the earth that much.
I drink out of the jars that I get from the natural food store filled with various things.
I have mismatched dishes .Some are from 20 years ago.
I never wanted a wedding cuz of all the details ,flowers, invitations etc
I thought I was "wrong" and "flawed" because of this but it is just me.
We all have unique gifts and special ways of being.Astrology can help you make peace with these ;to accept the flaws and magnify the good things.
