Dogdoc | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 05:18 pm     Pamy, I think you have to keep the toilet lid down, not just the seat. Whatever, I never remember to do it. |
Tabbyking | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 05:35 pm     pamy, i remember portuguese women telling me about the 'purse on the floor' at bingo one night. so i put it on a chair next to me and i won 3 of the next 5 games!! now, i always have it off the floor. soon, i will be like sophia potrillo of golden girls, and carry it everywhere with me, even when i am in my jammies and just using the toilet at night! lol |
Pamy | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 05:39 pm     Dogdoc...you're right! That's what I meant. I am so anal about having it put down that when my 6 yr old went to our friends house the other day he whispered to me "Mommy, they had the toliet lid up, but I put it down for them so they will not lose their money"

Ellenkats | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 05:52 pm     Dog -- doesn't your dog drink out of it if it's open? I keep mine closed, but not because I believe Feng Shui and saving money -- I just don't want a drowned cat or parrot. |
Moondance | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:08 pm     My toilet seat is down and my purse NEVER touches the ground! *Moon cashes in!* |
Ellenkats | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:33 pm     My toilet seat is down and my purse doesn't touch the ground either -- and I rarely have two nickels to rub together. I hereby debunk the Feng Shui myth.... :-) |
Costacat | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 09:02 pm     Actually, you also need to close the bathroom door (not just the lid). And the secret to reflecting bad chi is to place a little reflector mirror (like the small rearview kind) where the chi might enter; it deflects it back out to the universe. I can't remember the exact reason why, but I had two of the little things above my sliding glass door (south facing). And for what it's worth; the immediate right to your door is fortune (or a derivative thereof, like successful career), and furthest right corner is love. I'm still cracking up at the feng shui specialist who told me that my cats' litter box is in my "love" corner, and so essentially, my furry kids were pooping on my relationships! <snicker> |
Dogdoc | Saturday, August 31, 2002 - 07:03 pm     People that have pet birds flying loose in their house really should keep the toilet lid down. There have been drownings. Toilet bowl water is safe for dogs to drink if it doesn't contain cleaning products. I keep a pan of water in the bathroom for my dog to distract her from the toilet bowl. I think we need to perform a "ritual" to get the negative energy out of the house from the nomination speech Marcellus gave to Amy. |
Aussiedeb | Saturday, August 31, 2002 - 07:11 pm     The HOH bed is placed wrong, their feet face the door and its in the coffin position. One way to rectify it is to place a crystal in the doorway. The toilet thing is you are not supposed to flush it whilst the lid/seat is up. You must close it all before you flush. Its been a while since I researched it, as where we live in Ohio there is no place for me to buy crystals and bag gua(sp?) mirrors. I lived near a new age shop in Australia and I loved it. |
Danzdol | Saturday, August 31, 2002 - 08:29 pm     I was heavily into Feng Shui a coouple of years ago. Here is my opinion: The worse thing I see is all of the glass around the house because as someone mentioned above having it all refelct on each other is awful. However,Feng Shui is all about leading a balanced life. You do this by keeping all of natures elements balancedwithin your home. In this case, glass represents water and an over abundance of one of the key elements-water-fire-air-earth can tilt the scales too much in one direction which is when we have things to "rectify" over abundance.I feel that although there is a lot of it, there are enough items in the home that balance it out like the amount of color that surrounds it. The fact that the "chi" (positive energy) flows best when the house is in harmony proves right when you see that when there is a mess the guests might tend to be a bit more rambunctious (? I have never written that word before )The messier and cluttered a room is the more things will be out of control. Why? Because all of those "things" scream out at you and say "pick me up""put me away""clean me""thorw me out" and who can think clearly when all of that is going on. COlor also helps, for example red is a color that is condusive to -excitement and anxiety-(wasnt the first diary room in BB1 red?) while blue is thought to be a more soothing color(like now). The bathroom is a dangerous place because water is also linked with fortune therefore the flushing of the toilet equals throwing money away. So lids and bathroom doors closed.There is enough of the elements represented in color in the house to make it work.Of course someone using the sink, toilet and the shower at the same time might mean that their $$$$$ is running out the door which might explain why when Chiara and Tonya were in the shower and Josh was watching and Amy used the toilet they all got kicked out!Amy recovered and returned (maybe she did not flush )Just kidding THe entry to the BB house is ok. The reason for the mirrors to help in an entrance is because the visitor entering encounters this as the first thing they see and any bad energy they bring with them bounces back to them and away from you. A solid wall at the entrance is fine and does no harm. Your feet should never face a doorway because it is thought to be the position in which corpses are positioned to make the identification of their foot tags easier as they take them out the door to be taken away. Sharp edges are also not condusive to positive energy because it restricts the flow of chi.Square tables for example are a no, no. I will take a closer look at the house now that his was brought up and come up with more things to analyse.I must be heading to bed now. You know us East coasters. Off the top of my head everything but the clutter and the glass excess is pretty much in harmony.I see enough elements represented that balance each other out. Wood, glass, green even animals! It's basically all about balance. Of course to diagnose it correctly you do need to take the directions into consideration. |
Abbynormal | Sunday, September 01, 2002 - 12:25 am     I just wanted to share a tidbit. I have the exact same sofas as the BB house. Same color and everything. Very comfy. Well, I about fell out when I realized I have the same rug that is in the DR, mine is under my dining table. NO! I did not buy my stuff at Pier One Marcellas!! LOL |
Dogdoc | Sunday, September 01, 2002 - 07:07 am     Danzdol, thanks for the interesting post. Lots of good information there. |
Moondance | Sunday, September 01, 2002 - 09:31 am     WOW Thanks Danzdol! LOL Abby! |
Pamy | Sunday, September 01, 2002 - 10:07 am     Great info Danzdol, thanks for taking the time to tell us. Our money area is in the back bathroom so I was told to put a flowing fountain in there to keep our money flowing. Another thing was to have a bamboo plant by the door to bring happiness and good fortune. I was also told I could not buy the bamboo plant it had to be gifted to me.

Moondance | Sunday, September 01, 2002 - 10:11 am     Pamy, where is the money area in the BB house? I am confused |
Pamy | Sunday, September 01, 2002 - 10:35 am     Moonie...I can't tell. You have to know the directions of the rooms. It has to do with the bagua map of the home. You draw your home in a big square then divide the page in 9 equal squares kinda like a tic tac toe board. The money area is in the top right corner. The best book on Feng Shui I have found is The Western guide to Feng SHui, it is written by a person from the Feng Shui institute in San Diego area. The more I started reading and getting into it the more complicated it has become, so we have decided to have a Feng Shui consultant come to our house and help us. It is a little pricey(150.00 hr/can take 2-5hrs depending on size of house) but I figure it is an investment and something we should only have to do once for this house.

Dulci | Sunday, September 01, 2002 - 10:50 am     Black Hat Feng Shui doesn't use compass points, everything is oriented on the front door. So then the money section is the back left corner of the house as you walk in the front door. Black Hat is bashed as Pop Feng Shui, but I like it. Here is a site that shows the bagua for this type of feng shui: http://www.ivillage.com/home/fengshui/cyl/articles/0,9449,167071_253566,00.html |
Moondance | Sunday, September 01, 2002 - 10:52 am     LOL Pamy...I knew that but you explained it GREAT... I am just finding it hard to figure out where the money part is... I wanted to figure out where the HG are sleeping connected with it... hmmmm Thanks Dulci... still need to think about this theory I have |
Pamy | Sunday, September 01, 2002 - 11:28 am     OOpppss! I made a mistake the money area is in the top LEFT corner!! So looks like it is the same area as Black Hat, thanks Dulci for making me correct my mistake!! Moonie..I still don't know if we could figure out where the money part is in the BB house, oh wait!! don't they have a map of the house on the CBS site???? Maybe that would help figure it out What's your theory??????
