Beanthere dunthat, I didn't know that either, and like you, find it very interesting! Palm reading may be easier when reading the palm of someone who's lived, rather than one who is developing. I suspect palms are in a way like DNA, but I've wondered at times if people's palms ever change? Lars you have e-mail. You are exactly right when you said one of the powers of Tarot is to make subconscious thoughts conscious. What the cards suggest are usually good advice, whether we seem to know it or not. Even if it's something I think I know, I always consider the suggestions carefully. Tarot and Astrology are naturally intertwined when you think that each of the suits (Wands, Swords, Pentacles and Cups) also represent Fire, Air, Earth, Water, and the relationships seem more obvious. I had my numerology chart done years ago by my SIL's sister. I should probably dig that out and look at it again, if I can find it. I thought it was fascinating, and think numerology can offer insights as well. I always look to see what the new month/years numbers hold. Thanks for reminding me I haven't done that yet this month!

Well, he thinks his interview went well, but can't gauge if he "nailed it." AND, I found out when he got home, that he wore his Mickey Mouse tie to the interview. It was a nice one, but still. What in the h*** was he thinking? He should hear today or Monday if he will move on to interview #4 (with the CEO - yesterday's was with the person he'd report to). Keeping our fingers crossed! The title would technically be a step down, but it's a huge company, so in reality it's a step up. He's currently a COO at a small company, and this is a VP position at a large company. And - it's a move OUT of the credit union industry - something he's been looking for a chance to do. If he doesn't get it, well, then, we'll keep on trucking. We have to.

Deeinohio, thanks for the suggestions! Sorry you had such a bad experience, Dee. It's no fun to be stranded. Bumblebeez, thanks so much for sharing that. I appreciate it. Pesky, wow, you are quite informed about cars & auto service issues! That's wonderful. You make a lot of good points that I will keep in mind. Les! Yes! I just discovered what you are talking about last night, after I left GW. I did a Google search--"Blown gasket, Subaru Forester," thinking really, that a search that specific would yield me diddly squat. Guess what? It produced a full page of complaints, chat room discussions, & general angst about serious & frequent Subaru Forester head gasket issues! The 1999 Forester (& 2001) seem to be the most vulnerable to this. Amazing. Never heard anyone talk about this flaw in the system before, but it's evidently been a widespread occurence. Looks like Subaru has responded & NOW builds their Foresters with a completely different sort of head gasket, so newer Subi owners, don't despair! Thanks for sharing this, Les! Oakley, yes... I think so! Again, y'all have been fantastic. So many good points have been raised & I feel so much better about this situation. Armed with your feedback, when I call the service dept. Manager this morning, I will feel confident to inquire about & dig a little deeper into the diagnosis. Also, here is one of (The Many) links about the horrors of Subaru Forester gaskets! It's from a chatroom discussion & the last poster suggests getting a written guarantee on the work. Not a bad idea, either. Here is a link that might be useful: A tisket a tasket, I think I blew my gasket...

When I was 16 my present from my mother was a visit with a medium that she had heard about that only did people by referral. She worked out of her home on Mulholland Dr. in CA. She told me lots of interesting things, some of which I still remember, some I'm sure I've forgotten. But it was this "story" that got me. She told me that there was a spirt/aura/guide that was around me. She said he looked just like me and asked if I had a brother or twin that had died. I did not. She was unfazed and insisted that he looked so much like me he could be my twin and that my mother had either miscarried or had an abortion. My mother had a very hard time becoming pregnant with me so I thought that highly unlikely. Plus abortions were illegal and knowing my mother I knew that was not something she would ever do. She said he would stay with me most of my life watching out for me like a guardian angel, and when I no longer needed him he would go home to my mother. She said he had never been given a name and wanted one. When the session was done I went outside got in the car with my mom, who had been waiting for me, and we started home. I left that session sure this woman was nuts. Anyway, my mom and I were driving home and I'm telling her what the medium said and when I got to the part about this spirt twin my mom swerved over to the side of the road and hit the brakes. My mom sat there with her mouth hanging open. Turned out it was true. Shortly after I was born my mom became pregnant. My dad worked for an ambulance company and with his contacts found a doctor that would do the abortion on the sly. According to my mom, NO ONE knew except her, my father and the doctor. I named my brother David Thomas. It means Beloved Twin.
