T, I think you invite rebellion because you are reasonable. Some people don't get along too well with reason...

Absolutely true. God bless athene, she talks to everyone like that and always has. It doesn't make me angry, I think it's hilarious, but I can see why it would anger other people.

I looked for the Namaste thread mentioned here.. Since I don`t get around much anymore ,I wasn`t even sure where to start so never found it.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving .

During dinner clean up yesterday, I was musing on the past couple of years and think I see a general trend that reflects the forums as well.

A different opinion has become a derisive or a nasty astro placement.
Sharing experiences becomes gaslighting .
Passive aggressive is the new normal
and
bullying, as long as it done "with love", is doable.
Gah.

Where is the : I`m my brothers keeper, he ain`t heavy he`s my brother, do unto others....
or any of united themes for humanity?

It isn`t under the rock I`m hiding under

I try and remember unity and love, Juni. I was just telling this to Bella over email...most of the time I notice when someone is doing things that I dislike, but it doesn't even bother me.

I don't know why certain things bother me so much. Why one girl's b*tchiness makes my skin crawl and another's is harmless. Or why one act of rudeness upsets me all day and another similar act falls to the ground like an arrow that missed its target. I'm gonna pay closer attention.

I was educated once upon a time and "I don't know" is unsatisfying.

posted November 28, 2014 10:37 AM            

Yep. Exactly what I was noting.

I understand meaness more than I do the passive aggressiveness masks of love done for a "higher cause"

Like you, I wonder why the above gets me down more than other poor behavior and something I really need to dig deeper on.

My personal emotional work needed.

Yes!

So much to respond to! I had a great Thanksgiving, but last night started feeling VERY achy all over and had a bit of a sore throat on one side & overall exhausted. So I fell asleep around 8pm-ish and slept almost 12 hours straight. Woke up for a bit then slept 5 more! Think I was fighting off some bug and am now feeling much better.

Anyway, what i'm saying is I hope to catch up with the discussions later on & i appreciate the love. You all rock.

Well, I have different, personal reasons for feeling uncomfortable here at times, as you know, but what you've mentioned above hasn't just been happening here. Just over a year ago, I was tanked by an "all love, all the time" woman, who I guess was reminding herself of that, rather than trying to educate us - at least, I hope she has gained in self-awareness, because she deemed herself as very much above me, and left me a bit gutted, just before Thanksgiving.

I've been a bit wary of people who use that sort of thing, and feel bad for people who really are that gentle - I used to be, but don't feel it so much, anymore. I was watching Brothers & Sisters, last week, and I was *rolling* when something happened in a spa, and one woman just stormed out of there saying, "Namaste, my ass!"

I was also recently dropped by someone I met here - apparently, I no longer "get it" - whatever "it" is. I don't consider myself to be free of ego, and above everyone else (which actually means that they also have an active ego).

posted November 28, 2014 09:28 PM            

I always get annoyed with that because I am not a mind reader, whatever the issue is, just tell me.

posted November 29, 2014 01:27 AM            

T, I just found the 2012 world end prediction thread. The one iQ mentioned.

O_O The Mayans really, really let her down.

Like, knowing without actually knowing? The video is fake but the message is still true? Being one of the chosen ones??? Cataclysm prevented by beings like myself???

Child this ain't the matrix. At least Neo had legit ninja skills and evaded gravity. You out here looking like a busted pinata on clearance asking if I know what namaste means.

I am drunk right now or am I drunk right now???
HINT: spoiler belowwwwwww

Also, I keep seeing repetitive numbers and its creeping me out (e.g, 333, 222, 111). Is this legit or I am loosing my mind. Creepy. Too scared to go to bed now.

sorry I am actually a little drunk/10

posted November 29, 2014 08:17 AM            

What better thing could I find at LL today than a video of you, drunk, talking about the Mayans letting some people down, mystical art, busted pinatas, and namaste?

Glad you are feeling better, T.

Turkey can also make people sleepy but...never heard of it causing a 17 hour nap. Black Friday morning deals would have to be postponed while everyone slept off Thanksgiving.

Sorry to have gone all Rip Van Winkle on yo @sses everyone. It wasn't my intention to ruin everybody's popcorn, I'm just not feeling great. Fight night will be postponed a bit. I want to get back to some things and will later. I promise to emerge from hibernation at some point soon and join back in the fun.

I agree.

Juni, can you believe how much has changed over the years here? You reminded me of it when you mentioned the book i sent you - which btw i think you were right about when i sent it. I for one have changed enormously and am such a different person in so many ways. I sometimes wonder where many other people who don't post here anymore and haven't for a long time, are at in their journeys and if they are still into most of the subjects we used to discuss here. It's interesting to me how much i've changed in just 5 years or so alone. I'm not into most of what i used to be into. I never thought that would happen.

Same here. Sometimes i miss the days when i was more naive and sweet and trusting. I often feel like i'm too scarred and sour and cynical at this point. But wiser too, which i am thankful for. And I have years of online relations to thank partly for that. I've learned a lot from people here.

LOL reminds me of a show on tv i watch and one of the woman's tagline is "Namaste B*tches." She's actually quite zen and nice and has buddhas all over her house.

Anyway, I'm being called downstairs. Sorry to dump this here - I'm not really ranting, because I'm no longer upset by it.

Thanks for spreading the love around, I've had sort of a bleak day and your letters to everyone are so cozy and uplifting to see...I love your attentiveness.

For once a thread is meeting the high calling of being a hearth and home!

But like any home it may soon be an empty nest...Not that I would beg anyone to stay when they want to be elsewhere. I can think of you fondly wherever you are.

And btw thank you for dreaming of shopping with me That sounds SO COOL and I've played the little movie in my head a few times now. I kept meaning to bump that thread and reply but I'm shy about it...no I'm not pretty as you imagined, but I would be completely personable and smiley to see you. Happy people are usually good company, yes?

Lately i find myself feeling like i don't want to "talk" much of the time. And i'm feeling that way again. It becomes hard to get the motivation to get the words out and my already bad grammar becomes worse. lol That signals break time for me.

It's easy to come back here and visit out of habit and nice to run into people like you, but yes, they have become fewer and fewer. Not to mention i am not into the subjects here like i used to be. Anyway, i'll probably still pop in here and there.

Bella, thanks so much for the kind words. I don't feel very patient much of the time. Sometimes it's too tempting not to say something to certain people. Especially people like that who remind me of other people i've known in life. My style rubs some people the wrong way and I understand and am okay with that. I'm so glad you spoke up in that thread. You said some things that were on my mind, but i never couldn't have gotten across properly.

You're an amazing person, so witty, intelligent and strong! I always love what's on your mind and how you get it across to people here. A force to be reckoned with!

I'm glad to see you still here when I do visit the forums. Wishing you all the best in life.

You are welcome

I really don't feel patient either, as you can probably tell

For me, I usually don't get fazed by what people say to me, but rather what they say to people I care about. I can take the L on several things, but for some reason need to speak when I see people I care about disrespected. There is need within me to speak up and stand up for people, especially when their treatment is not justified.

Maybe it is the phase in my life or maybe it is the tPluto in 1st, but I am so bleeping tired of people using being "opinionated" or "blunt" to say whatever the f they want. No, it doesn't work like that. You can't say whatever you want and not have consequences. Especially when I see someone trying to belittle or mock simply because you take a different side of an issue.

I only feel the need to clap back when someone says something really offensive to me. I am a Taurus Mars after all, but don't get it twisted: Sun square Mars, Sun square Pluto, Pluto square Mars. If I ether someone it because it is well deserved and I have the receipts to back up what I am saying.

Yeah, I am not a good target to pick; don't try it with me.
