I promise I will shut up and go to work after this  The funniest thing about that situtation is the have thought she was a have because she/her family had something we didn`t. They owned the general store. But, her Dad extended so much credit to our families, he didn`t have 2 pennies to rub together. She was in fact, poorer than we were. Life isn`t always what it seems or we believe it to be .

You and Charmaine were arguing last time I checked and I hope Charmaine will not read my comment above as referring to your argument with her. I really can't make sense of that one and kind of don't even want to, since I like you both a lot. Sh*t just happens. (Sorry for the expletive, Randall, but it does!)
Thank you I don't see any belligerence coming from you ever! Last time I checked charmaine and I were not arguing. She did come into a recent thread to lash out at me, out of anger, as she admitted here. But before that we werent really connecting. I think you have to be speaking to someone to be arguing with them, which we were not doing before that. I'll end that here so as not to ruin your thread. IP: Logged |

Same here. & that's what got me annoyed recently when I found out someone was requesting people to choose sides, hoping to get people against me. Not sure why I am not allowed to be upset by that and it made me the bad guy. Luckily I get over things quickly.

They don't make senses to me either. Youve made clear "what it's about", but I don't see how it's still considered some sort of ongoing argument between us? I honestly did not think we were in one. I can tell you hate me, but I've moved on...  I'd like it if your anger for me was not made out to be some sort of ongoing fued, sort of soap opera-like. I do not see it that way and am not holding onto anything and don't think you should be either. I find it interesting to read what you wrote there though and see how you percieve our interactions....? Like there is so much history, drama or mystery behind it. There isnt.  anyway.......

Thank you for making the point I was trying to make in the other thread. No one likes to find out that game was being played on them. Nice for me that most people can make up their own minds and are adult enough to choose their friends themself. IP: Logged |

The Thai cuisine to me seemed like a combination of Chinese and Indian dishes. Curries though were not as hot and had loads of flavor, served with sticky rice. Many of their salads had cashew nuts in them as well as stir fried dishes. Coconut and coconut milk was also a key ingredient in many dishes. Duck was popular but I stuck to chicken. Seafood dishes were quite common as well. The people were very friendly; always smiling, polite and soft spoken. You can't help but feel humble in their presence.The beaches were beautiful and you could spot lush green valley's when heading towards the country side. It's definately an exotic destination - quite laid back too. There was a feeling of calm and relaxtion projected from every location and the people who reside there. There was also a sense of umm, well to me there was an aura of spiritualness - hard to explain. They have great respect for their temples and monks. This brings back so many memories..my dad had a fiend there and I remember we had to remove our shoes as a sign of respect when we entered his home. His wife hardly made any eye contact but was warm and friendly. They ate with their hands, well hand, I think it was the right hand if memory serves me correct.. Not sure now and they sat on a mat with short table.. There is much more to tell but there wouldn't be enough time.  IP: Logged |

Australia was my first overseas trip. It was bit of a "culture" shock for me because they seemed to have more freedoms than we had..like the kids and teens. We were brought up to respect our elders and parents, well grown ups in general. We weren't allowed to question or "back chat".. And I was stunned when I heard how my cousins spoke to their parents ( just how they spoke in general). We were not allowed to cuss at that age, not at adults and if you did cuss then you had to make sure that a grown up didn't catch you doing it! They had much more freedom where speech was concerned, even voicing opinions. It was a whole new world to me. We were there for two weeks and at the end of the trip, I didn't want to go home, lol! Oh, there were no spider spottings! If there was, then I'd be the first one gone!IP: Logged |

Our soul groups are the ones with which we shared previous incarnation with: brothers, sisters, mums, dads, friends etc.who join us again in other incarnations but different roles ie.your mum from a previous incarnation could now be a brother or grandparent. Think of it this way: we pick certain people we will meet in life to be part of our soul group. They help us learn and develop lessons on our journey (our lives). Everyone in the soul group started off together and make sure that they help each other on their journey to fulfill the purpose of their quest. Oh, and it doesn't mean that family comes back as family either. Family from previous lives could even be co- workers in the next even strangers but eventually meet up at some point and make "contact".Now you may be thinking that it sounds like people we have karma to balance out with, yes to a certain extend. Soul groups desire to be incarnated at more less the same time but it's also for the sake of divine purpose of the soul group and also elevate the vibration of the soul group to bring us closer to the Source or "God". Astrology can give us clues to our soul groups, sometimes we just "know" with certain individuals and we can use astrology as a tool/ guide to verify it. From my own experience, I noted that people within a soul group may have grown up with similar experiences or had similar life experiences. Sometimes there an instant mutual feeling of empathy between these individuals even if there were a few negative interactions between them. Belonging to a soul group does not imply that all of our interactions with them will rosy or pleasant (a common misconception). On another note about soul group "purposes"; some may be good or some may be negative. The use of the word purpose is not synonymous with good alone.( Another topic altogether). Sooo, although we belong/ connected to a soul group, we need to remember that we are still on a individual path and we need to be true to ourselves at all times. Hope these ramblings make some sense to you. IP: Logged |

Soul groups hold endless fascination for me. I believe we congregate to others we spiritually remember. Even those who rub us the wrong way. We get another chance to work things out and find peace.

Hi again!I'm in somewhat of a rush but just wanted to say I need to go to Thailand!  Thank you for describing it, Charmaine, I got a palpable feeling for how it might be, just from your vivid account. I feel like I left part of my soul there even though I was never there...maybe just the peaceful respectful atmosphere is what I am longing for. It's funny you mentioned Australia and the back-talking...I am reading the memoir of Jenna Miscavige Hill who was brought up in Scientology, and she was talking about how shocked she was when she visited, on very rare occasions, with non-Scientologist children who were back-talking and being bratty. Jenna's upbringing was like hell on earth but at least she learned her manners.  I love what you said about soul groups. Although I still don't understand too much...I guess it's something that must remain just a theory. I do see how people are interlinked in very meaningful ways but can't fathom how this could be a continuation from a past life. And I can't quite figure out how my present relationships could play out in a future life. For instance, I'm estranged from my sister. Were we enemies in another life, thrown together in the same family to try and work this out, but here we are again with a total breakdown? Or...? I do think my tight Venus-Saturn conjunction with my husband (I'm Venus) which I also shared with my father (whose Saturn is conjunct my husband's, almost exactly) is very karmic and feels like a multi-lifetime situation. I recognized that with my husband early on, when people were like, "Why on earth are you two getting together??" and my answer was like, "I dunno...just trust me I HAVE to." Something like that.

Very same here. Mine is much younger and different is many of lifes aspects. Yet, I said about the same thing when shocked folks asked the same question. Trust me, it`s right for us was my reply. I/we felt the very "soul connection" the moment we locked eyes. ------------------ Christian, Jew, Muslim, Shaman, Zoroastrian, stone, ground, mountain, river, each has a secret way of being with the Mystery, unique and not to be judged.

I was going to make a new shout out thread, but, since you already have one, I'll plop my post down here  Faith, I read this and thought of you: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/3617506 Just popping in - my Mom's coming over to watch the girls while I go to the doc, and I need to straighten up bit while they spend time with their other babysitter (a Peter Pan movie).

@mockingbirdAwww, that's cute~ Peter Pan is "the babysitter." My daughter's first crush was on the cartoon Peter Pan. She would blush when talking about him. Come to think of it, that's the only crush she's ever admitted to me, apart from some Russian figure skater whose name I can't spell (but I looked him up on wikipedia a while ago and noticed he's a late degree Pisces... her sun is trine his. ) I liked that HuffPo article! The woman writes so well. My youngest is three and still in diapers I'm sorry to say. I bought him a potty that vrooms loudly like a racecar when full and it traumatized him. We're in recovery for now. For the past two nights he's been sick with a cold, keeping me up all hours bringing him water, hugging him, chatting about random stuff (his sun is right on the Taurus-Gemini Cusp...but he sure is talkative!) So I don't feel like I am in the sweet spot just yet, but I look forward to it! Assuming I haven't been permanently damaged by what the author calls The Blur  @juni So you are older than your hubby? How neat, I never would have guessed! My Aquarius brother is 18 years younger than his wife.  Maybe it's a Uranus thing because I have an Aqua DSC and my husband has sun conjunct Uranus exact. Hmmm (If you didn't know, he is 18 years older than me. Hence the uproar when we got engaged after one date...well, amongst other things. But in my defense transiting Pluto was right on our Venus-Saturn conjunction! What's a girl to do??) IP: Logged |

Faith, sorry to hear about your relationship with your sister. It can be nice to have that bond so it must be tough. The best way to break such karmic cycles is Forgiveness. Sincere Forgiveness, not just thinking it or saying it but feeling it and completely letting go of whatever hurts were exchanged. It can be from one or both parties. Either way, genuine Forgiveness CAN break those negative karmic ties. The one who was wronged probably did something to the other person in a prevoius life so if the who was hurt forgives the one inflicting pain, there will be no urge for the wronged person to inflict pain upon that person in the next life.That was just an example. Maybe oneday, you and your sister could possibly work this out?

Thank you, Charmaine.  My sister was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. She abandoned the family after our father died. Moved across the country and after a few years stopped answering our emails and phone calls. Maybe I can forgive her, but I don't know how.  I love her and have fond memories...but I also have a lot of bitterness from the difficulties she imposed on me, her schemes and betrayals...well, what do I expect, she is clinically insane. Her sun and Mercury (and possibly her moon) are almost exactly opposed to my sun; in synastry, her planets turn my Cardinal t-square into a grand cross. Heavy cross to bear! *Hug* Thank you for talking about it with me. Hope you have a nice day~  IP: Logged |

I just checked...no. Her sun: 14.51 Cancer Mercury: 17.45 Cancer The moon was in Cancer that day, and I'll bet it was conjunct both of them, or exactly on one....there has to be something freaky with her moon. What orb do you use for a cazimi? quote: An Arabian astronomical term applied to the center of the Solar disc. It is employed to describe a planet located within an arc of seventeen minutes (17') of the Sun's longitude: or by some authorities within half a degree of the Sun's center.
http://www.astrologyweekly.com/dictionary/cazimi.php If you allow a thirty minute orb, my brother might have one: His sun: 17.28 Aquarius Mercury: 17. 54 Aquarius ^ Though I don't have his birth time. He's had trouble with mental illness as well, but he is very upbeat and intelligent...just bounces back from whatever gets him down. IP: Logged | |
