Ocean_Islands | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 11:30 am  Some have been following the "*Stars*" thread. Some wouldn't enter the thread on threat of their very lives. Is Astrology true? What if we ignore it? Do we do so at our own peril, or is it just a game? |
Guruchaz | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 11:50 am  No. If we ignore it, we never know it exists. It's just a game with an 800 number. |
Azriel | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 12:00 pm  That's a hard one, Ocean. I don't take it dead serious, but I do see a lot in it that makes me think about myself. Anything that makes you pause and think about your life can't be that bad. I think it's just the case of extremes. If you can't make a decision in your life without consulting the stars, then I think you are a nutcase, but looking at your horoscope and comparing it to what's going on in your life is just fun and sometimes reflective. |
Spamgirl | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 01:34 pm  Most horoscopes are positive, and tend to tell you to "do the right thing". Nothing wrong with that. Hell, the bible is in the same category - tells you what things you should do, but who knows if it's real? |
Ocean_Islands | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 02:32 pm  I don't know if the bible is in the same category, but it doesn't purport to give advice pertinent for a particular day. |
Spamgirl | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 02:52 pm  No, it's astrology for a life time I'm just saying, it tells you something... just like the horoscopes... they're both written by man but usually said to be controlled by "god" or "the universe"... so I think they are in the same category... just one is long term |
Merlin | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 04:43 pm  I don't think astrology is true in the sense of if you ignore it you will be at peril. I also can't explain how Moondance could do a chart on my birthdate and it be as accurate as it was either. Would I live my life by what a forecast tells me? Nope, but I find them interesting to read. |
Elitist | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 08:01 pm  What is your answer Ocean? |
Newamush | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 08:03 pm  I take horoscopes as a kind of unobjective guide for my day. I don't believe that they are "predicting the future," but most are just generalizations and can be fitted into any situation |
Misslibra | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 08:18 pm  Ocean your asking a person using the handle MissLibra that ? YES Need I say more ? |
Ocean_Islands | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 03:52 am  I asked you first Elitist! MissLibra how much a part of your life does it play? |
Misslibra | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 04:34 am  I don't read them everyday. In fact it had been quite a while since I read my horoscope, until I read Moon's Star thread. But I like to read them when ever I get a chance. Why ? you don't like them ? And you haven't answered your own question ?  |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 05:59 am  Ocean is the dissecter, not the dissectee.
 |
Ocean_Islands | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 03:03 pm  Lol its true Juju that I'm used to being the observer and not the observed. But you seem to be observing me yourself, what's the verdict? Do I ever answer my own questions? Its an opening for discussion. At times horoscopes have been important to me, at other times totally forgotten. I think it depends where you are in life, whether you feel uncertainty or need some kind of reassurance about the future. |
Guruchaz | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 03:14 pm  Yes, I believe in astrology. It's especially important for men over 50 to have an astrology exam on a yearly basis. |
Guruchaz | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 04:30 pm  OI, so far you've only posted topics, been in chat for maybe 15 min max and the posts out here have been scarce. Your posts on the outside have been more interesting to read than what you've done in here. Don't tell me you're going out like a "Mantastic" already. That's sad. What gives? You are finally in the game. Don't blow it. |
Ocean_Islands | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 04:35 pm  Guru I work during the day. I was in chat last night for over an hour, where were you? What difference does it make? I think I'd respond differently if you said you'd like to hear from me on a particular issue rather than count postings. It's quality over quantity, baby. And besides, I never promised you a rose garden! >snark< I'm sure our spectators would agree that a great post is worth a hundred cheap ones. |
Spamgirl | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 04:36 pm  Cammie has the same issue - how many posts HAS she made? I love ya Cammie, but we were supposed to have the time to put into this BEFORE we applied... I hate to be a to ya... I'm just wondering - do you plan on contributing more in the future/ever joining chat? (This isn't an attack... I just want to know ) |
Guruchaz | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 05:11 pm  Yeah, there we go! uh huh huh  |
Guruchaz | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 05:26 pm  Oh, and let me know when you make a great post so I can read it. |
Ocean_Islands | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 05:28 pm  If you can't tell one from another, there's no helping you. BTW, when did that bug get up your ass? |
Azriel | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 05:32 pm  Guru, did ya know if you get your panties in a wad, then a bug can't get up your ass? Just thought that might be helpful Ocean, you been looking at Guru's ass awful close huh? |
Guruchaz | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 05:33 pm  Oh, no bug. Just an observation like in my picture.  |
Guruchaz | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 05:46 pm  And you're the one asking about "ass"trology. Jeesh. huh huh |
Spamgirl | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 05:47 pm  groan guru ;) |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 07:27 pm  lol. sigh. Az gets kudos for panties in a wad and bug up ass. could go into contention for quotable quotes. audience, take note. |
Juju2bigdog | Saturday, January 20, 2001 - 03:24 pm  Whew, had a hard time finding this thread. It was way at the bottom. Okay, Ocean, I believe in astrology today. Here is today's horoscope for me: "You are cultivating admirers, and you don't even realize it. someone is extremely impressed at your daring and wants to follow you on a crusade." LOL. <Juju2bigdog picks up flute, starts dancing and prancing down street wearing costume not unlike Ocean's band suit> |
Ocean_Islands | Saturday, January 20, 2001 - 03:26 pm  That's cool. I better go look at mine, I haven't had time to look in a couple days. |
Guruchaz | Saturday, January 20, 2001 - 03:39 pm  Ok, so let me get this straight. Which Astrology reading is correct: the one out of the local paper or the one out of the magazine? What about the one on the website or the one advertised with an 800 number? Just curious. |
Juju2bigdog | Saturday, January 20, 2001 - 04:42 pm  whichever one puts you in the most flattering light, gu.
