that is during the storm… if you go up further on the street, there is a creek, and it overflowed… oh and there is a portapotty for our park that is in a tree… not sure how that happened.

Position:
1st: The significator. This cards represents you, the querant, either specificly or metaphorically.
It can represent many aspects of your personality, including the emotional, the physical, and the spiritual.
The Ace of Disks. Material gain, labor, power, wealth. It represents materiality in all senses,
good and evil and is therefore in a sense illusory.


2nd: The current environment. Here you will find an indicator of the most crucial aspect of your current situation.
If this card refers to a person, that person could be either one closely concerned with the reading or an aspect
of yourself.
The Prince of Swords: A young man with dark hair and dark eyes. Full of ideas and thoughts and designs,
distrustful, suspicious, firm in friendship and enmity, careful, slow, over-cautious. Symbolizes Alpha
and Omega, the Giver of Death, who slays as fast as he creates. Ill-dignified: harsh, mailicious, plotting,
obstinate, yet hesitating and unreliable.


3rd: The obstacle. This card shows what is standing in your way. Most often the card is obvious,
however, sometimes the card refers to something you may think is desirable. At that point you must
reassess your desires and determine if the quest is worthy or if the goal is something better left unattained.
The Sun: Glory, Gain, Riches. Sometimes also arrogance, Display or Vanity.

4th: The goal. This card shows what you desire.
If the card is confusing then you must discover the aspect of your goal to which the card refers.
This card also may suggest that a reappraisal of your goals is in order
The Princess of Wands: A young woman with gold or red hair and blue eyes. Brilliance, courage, beauty, force, sudden in anger or love,
desire of power, enthusiasm, revenge. If ill-dignifies, superficial, theatrical, cruel, unstable, domineering

5th: The foundation of the current environment. This card is crucial in determining the nature of the current situation.
It shows that upon which the current environment is built. It is the base of the piller of the present
Adjustment. Eternal Justice and Balance. Strength and Force, but arrested as in the act of Judgment. Possible legal procedings, a court of law, etc.


6th: The past. Here you will see the accomplishments and the battles of the past.
The card could also represent something which is still haunting your or unfinished business which still
requires your attention
The Four of Wands: Completion. Settlement. Arrangement completed. Perfected work. A completion of a thing built
up with trouble and labor. Rest after labor. Subtlety, cleverness, mirth, beauty, success in completion.
Reasoning faculty, conclusions drawn from previous knowledge. Unreadiness, unreliable and unsteady,
through over-anxiety and hurriedness of action. Graceful in manner. At times insecure.

7th: The immediate future. This card shows what is about to happen to you immediately upon conclusion of the reading
The Lovers. Inspiration (passive, and in some cases mediumistic). Motive power, and action, arising from Inspiration
and Impulse.

8th: The future environment. Since the Tarot shows the complexity of your future, the eighth card is crucial
in analyzing your choice of action. This card shows aspects of the future environment which will either
help or hinder your quest.
The Eight of Disks: Prudence. Skill, cunning. Over-careful in small things at the expense of the great.
"Penny-wise and pound foolish." Gain of ready money in small sums. Mean, avericiousness. Industrious,
cultivation of land, hoarding, lacking in enterprise


9th: The influence of society. This cards shows how your friends and family will affect you in the future environment
The Ten of Cups: Satiety. Matters definitely arranged and settled as wished. Permanent and lasting success,
happiness because inspired from above. Pity, quietness, peace-making. Kindness, generosity. Possible wantonness
and waste.

10th: The challenge. Here, you will find the nature of what confronts you. The card may suggest a key to how you
will defeat your enemy and attain your goal. It may also point to a weakness within yourself which you must overcome.
The Knight of Swords: A man with dark brown hair and dark eyes. He is active, clever, subtle, fierce,
delicate, courageous, skillful, but inclined to be domineering. If ill-dignified, may be deceitful, tyrannical
and crafty, and may overvalue small things.

11th: The outcome. The future is a blank page waiting for you to write its story and follow its path.
Predestination is an illusion based on tendency and predisposition. This card shows a possible future
outcome, based on those factors. If it is undesirable you must find a way to avoid it. If it is desirable
you must simply follow the course show by the cards. This card is the crown of the piller of the future
The Seven of Disks: Failure. Unprofitable speculation and employment. Little gain for much labor.
Promises of success unfulfilled. Loss of apparently promising fortune. Hopes deceived and crushed.
Disappointment. Misery, slavery, necessity and baseness. A cultivator of land, and yet is a loser thereby.
Sometimes it denotes slight and isoleted gains with no fruits resulting therefrom, and of no further account,
though seeming to promise well. Honorable work undertaken for the love of it, and without desire of reward.

we had a great toastmasters party at the area governor's. he has 2 little cats that remind me of the siamese kittens from the old cartoons... they are singupura... one tried to eat chicken... and a sunflower that is way bigger than mine... it needs a stake (and yes, i am having sunflower envy.)=
got to meet the other VP of PRs in the area... that was cool... we also have another new memeber...

and on the topic of bad names, apparently, a bad name doesnt just get you mistaken for a cartoon character, or a disease or a physics equasion solving martial artist, it can also put you in jail:

so i got the call from gyno that i have to go get a colpo tomorrow morning at 9am b4 work... weee... how do i tell the new boss i am gonna have to work from home for a few days b/c i am getting fixed? lame!!! i hate justin!!!

Jodie wears a hat although it hasnt rained for six days
She says a girl needs a gun these days
Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
She looks like eve marie saint in on the waterfront
She reads simone de beauvoir in her american circumstance
Shes less than sure if her heart has come to stay in san jose
And her neverborn child still haunts her
As she speeds down the freeway
As she tries her luck with the traffic police
Out of boredom more than spite
She never finds no trouble, she tries too hard
Shes obvious despite herself
She looks like eve marie saint in on the waterfront
She says all she needs is therapy yeah
All you need is, love is all you need
Jodie never sleeps cause there are always needles in the hay
She says that a girl needs a gun these days
Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
She looks like eve marie saint in on the waterfront
As she reads simone de beauvoir in her american circumstance
Her heart, hearts like crazy paving
Upside down and back to front
She says ooh, its so hard to love
When love was your great disappointment

neat house things:

isnt this a duh?

http://pics.livejournal.com/spiggycat/pic/00015758/g28

does anyone need an orange cat? he is really sweet and great, but he and the lauren do not work... and i dont want to sell the laurne into white slavery, so am looking for a new home for him (the lauren tries to ride him like a pony and he doenst appreciate it. among other things.)

the other cat is "her cat" so she stays...

dyed/cut hair and look like 120 year old whore again... not like 70s mullet princess...

ran 6 miles today... did 1/2 hour on the exercise bike... read some more in the Suzuki "Zen mind" book... feel really good for it...

boss is moving to a different dept... i am not thrilled... she will still be in the office... in Toastmasters etc... but am afraid that new manager will be a micromanager, and that we will still have all the 3am MOPS but will have to go into the office too, and i will have to quit raiding...

also not thrilled with O---... moved all the systms from GDC to STC... took months... and dumbass vendor PM is trying to hide an application defect behind our engineers. so i had to defend "our honour" on a conference call... i silenced the whole call... feel like powerful she-wolf bitch goddess... lick my boots assholes! (wait... wasnt that me at GTA :P )

Mel... sorry i didnt call u back... i will try on my way 2 werk tomorrow...

so did TLI this weekend and oracle class last week... carpooled w/ da boss... both were more social experiences than learning experiences... got to hang out w/ past and present coworkers... free food at oracle conference kicked butt.

as promised, here are the florida pictures, inc the black velvit slug!

so my plants are alive still! i have been reading this book and it is helping a lot. my thumb isnt quite as black. there are more pics on the home and garden gallery.

http://onlineathens.com/stories/062209/new_453205586.shtml
the vines in my yard have leaves... they are kudzu and honeysuckle... not wisteria... the pics from my office are wisteria and kudzu. the purple flowers at werk are not kudzu... the kudzu doesnt bloom until summer.

and i think i want this book

we had our Solstice Ritual this weekend... did a spiral dance outside and there was a heat banishment ceremony. hopefully Claude will post pics! He got a cute one of the Lauren. we have our official first CUPS meeting in July... i think we should do it at a coffee shop, but we might just make coffee and bring baked goods to Emmerson. I think we will be doing a healing for Karl too... I think he needs one.

not sure which is worse... peter murphy's hurt or trent's bela lugosi is dead

so still itchy... only have one dot on my face... and am leaving it alone. in a way, poison ivy is a gift... makes me have to slow down and pay attention to my body... not in the "ewwwee i am a girl who was raised in american culture so i think i am fat" way, but in a more accurate and real way. i do hope it is gone b4 TLI so i can speak on something other than slugs or poison ivy?

Poison Ivy and CO2!
According to the Wall Street Journal, research soon to be published in Weed Science (is your subscription up to date?) indicates that poison ivy has gotten MUCH nastier since the 1950's. Leaf size and nasty oil content are way up.

So it is not your imagination that it is worse than when you or your parents were kids. Seems like a minor problem, all in all, considering the possible consequences of a 33% increase in CO2 in only 50 years. But then, if you have a rash like the guy above, might not seem so minor.

i took a pic of the poison ivy... i asked someone if there is a poison ivy boobie fetish, and he said he doubts it... is he wrong? there are vomit grrls... maybe i could make a website and make sooo much $$ i could quit working forever :) just get cute people to take pics of themselves naked w/ poisn ivy :)

notice the guy's name!


oh and the congressman for kennesaw emailed me back about the humane societies apes research bill and said he'll vote for it... woot... it looked like a personal email too... which doesnt surprise me, since we are a small district, and our city elected officals give out their home #rs...

i had 7 pages today... figured out the oracle streams issue-- the 600 is a bug. I talked to John, the AT&T Oracle version of Batman (i put that in his performance review), and we altered the system parameter cursor_space_for_time to false and cleared the recycle bin and that fixed the issue.
