Me too, Vee. I always have some quarters in the car or tote bag, so I said $2.50.

Money does not belong outside my wallet once I leave the house. I have 2 pennies in my car ashtray and about 20 dollars in change at home, but if I was going home to get the change, I may as well pick up my wallet. I don't think I am cheap or unwilling to lend money... I am such a scatterbrain at times, I try hard to keep my money in one place.

Thanks for posting all those tips, Cindori. I found them very helpful. I'd like to use these questions to start conversation with a group of friends I'm having in later this week and I think the tips will be important.

Cindori, thanks so much! I discovered this thread late, but I really like it! I won't share all my answers, they have been pretty much right on, but I have to share my mountain one.

When I saw the mountain, it was awesome in the true sense of the word. Huge, imposing, magestic, yet somehow I knew I could do it. - My dad was not an easy man to get to know, yet I always felt welcome there.

The stone was the size of an apple, bright red and sparkly - priceless for beauty not value. I've always wanted to be a jeweler, so that one was easy.

Parting words, however still have me sobbing. As I walked away, I looked back and said, "Thank you, I really enjoyed it!" The mountain replied with "Come back soon". My Dad died 3 years ago, and I still miss him terribly. I so wish I could go back and visit. As I left, in my mind, I knew I wouldn't be back.

Thanks so much for sharing these.

New Scenario!

Blue Coat, Yellow Coat

Gathering in the town square for the lighting of the Christmas tree gives people a chance to come together as a community and celebrate the end of another year. It's a time of nostalgia and a chance for new memories to be born. People are in the holiday spirit, strangers act like friends, and a sense of peace is all around.

The night is cold, and you have come with a group of friends and acquaintances to watch the lighting of the tree. In the group of people with you, one person is wearing a yellow coat and another person is in blue. Who are the people wearing the blue and yellow coats? (Give the names of people you know.)



What your answers mean . . .

In psychology, bright colors such as yellow are associated with warm and positive feelings, while cool colors like blue are linked with cold, negative emotions. It may surprise even you, but the person you named as wearing the yellow coat is someone you like or who makes you feel happy, while something about the person in the blue coat leaves you cold.

funny...I put my best friend in the yellow coat (even though he loves blue)while I couldn't think of a soul to put in the blue coat and finally named someone just because I had to!

The yellow coat was true for me, but I was like Jan, couldn't choose anyone for the blue coat until I just pulled a name because I "had" to. But, yes, in all honesty, I would prefer the relationship with the person in the blue coat could be warmer.

I picked someone I know who has a blue coat for the blue coat. I guess I didn't think that one was that accurate for me.

I ended up putting myself in the blue coat, which actually works, since I am trying to develop a better friendship with myself.

LK and Jan, that is interesting because you are both people I could see in "yellow" coats ~ you're very warm, kind and giving. Amazing how we view ourselves opposed to how others see us. (probably because we use magnifying glasses on what we perceive to be our faults/negatives.)

why thank you kind people {{{Autumn and Vee}}} but,sadly, the persona we are online only represents a portion of what we are in life, methinks!

I have thought a great deal about that myself, Jan. It would make a very interesting conversation. What kind of folks are posting on a message board? Sure, it's easier to put our best selves forward...wonder what those who have met posters would say about how they match their online persona. As for me, I love the variety I find here...I think a lot of each poster's personality finds its way through his/her words. I'd find it hard to believe, for example, that a person who is thoughtful and kind here is something else entirely in the actual world. Pardon me for hijacking the thread with these thoughts, I return you all now to Kokology

That works both ways Jan, and I have found that its usually the ones who think the worst of themselves have the least reason to.

As for online personas, I think that the majority of the "meets" will attest to the fact that most of the individuals did live up to their friendly, kind, giving, online persona. There will always be those who wear masks - on and off line, but one can only hide behind for so long. Our true faces always show. (meaning: I stand behind it, you're a sweetie in my book.)

New Scenario!

Written in the Stars

When you look up into a star-filled sky at night, sometimes it's possible to lose yourself in the infinite depths of space. We may be aware of their vast distances from earth, yet the stars still look like friendly messengers and granters of dream when we see them twinkling in the dark. As the hours grow late, it's a comfort to look up and have their distant power to draw upon.

For this one, you'll need paper and a pencil.

1. First, draw three stars of different sizes.
2. Next, draw a comet's tail on one (and only one) of your stars.




What your stars mean . . .

The stars combine a glistening image of the power to grant wishes and make dreams come true with a sense of distance and unattainability. Stars determine our present and give a hint of things to come. Your drawing illuminates your work life in general and your current career path in particular.

1. The largest star you drew represents the job you hold now, its potential and its disappointments. If the difference in size between that star and the other two is not very great, it signifies dissatisfaction or at least disinterest in your career, a willingness to shop around and keep your options open. Watch for an unexpected call from a headhunter. They have ways of finding these things out.

On the other hand, if you job star is much larger than the others, it indicates you're deeply absorbed and committed to your current path. Your concern should be not to fall into the trap of workaholism. All work and no play is no way to live.

2. In cultures throughout history and around the world, comets have been seen as harbingers of disaster and cataclysmic change. The star you gave a comet's tail to represents trouble looming on the horizon. If it's on one of the smaller stars, you're in luck; the heavens have overlooked you for now. But if your largest star is a comet, it might be a good time for you to bring your resume up to date. The stars never lie.

I had three stars roughly the size of a nickle, penny, and dime. The tail was on the dime.

Not that I am working, but...

Oh dear...this is probably the honest truth too...I am enjoying not working. Good news though, the tail is on the smallest star.

Hmm... I consider my job to be "Mom" since I don't work.
The "mom" star is bigger than the other two stars, and the first one I drew, but not really huge, about the size of my pencil eraser. The other two are very similar in size.
I almost put the comet's tail on the big one, but it didn't feel right, so I put it on the last of the two small stars.

I wonder what the kokologists would say about that!

Carrie, I'm sure you could find one at B&N. If they don't have it in stock, I know they can order it in. I believe I got mine from bn.com. The library . . . I don't know . . possibly not, but it doesn't hurt to ask!
