It's a depressing subject. I don't even like looking up the charts of serial killers, even though it can be informative.

I thank my good fortune (and so does my husband of course), that she didn't bother reciprocating my offer as I invited her to my house with her kids (2 daughters were young) and mine, the same age. She never responded to the invite. We had bumped into each other at a Food Store in Ellicott City Maryland a really nice upscale neighborhood and I was shocked she lived there too.
Carl Jung said this was not per chance. He called it synchronicity...had meaning.
On the way out, as she got ready to check out first, I said, "you know Nancy, I never forgave you for that Christmas Eve" and she looked confused - I was laughing - as it was as a joke. I said, "Remember, your dad , you and me walked to the open air market down the street 2 blocks to buy a live tree, and you wouldn't want with us dragging it back to the apartment( they lived in a 2nd floor apt.)
We were just kids. She then smiled, but it was a hollow look.
At that time, unbeknownst to me, is she was stealing her friends mail, when she saw offers for credit cards, and did that type of fraud too! That is why I lucked out for sure after all that she didn't take me up on my offer to visit. It was in the middle of her crime spree. She hadn't met her victim yet, that would be years later a few husbands later when her girls were now in college.
She was selling door to door in a nice neighborhood, Life Insurance policies, and he bought one from her, a pretty young girl (perhaps late 30s by then) and him the age of her dad. They both loved going to Atlantic City NJ to gamble.
Probably at the Trump gambling casino too.
He mortgaged his house, sold it for her gambling debts and bought her a Mercedes.
The tree thing is funny. Funny, she didn’t want to get her hands dirty. She did.
Just embarrassed to be seen by friends possibly, with dad dragging the tree behind him.
I recall my eldest daughter in the Mall where kids loved to go. We dropped her off to meet her friends, and sat on a bench near a store. Me, her 2 sisters, and when Becky walked by us, we waved saying "Hi Beck, over here"....she ignored us as though we weren't there.
It was funny! (both the tree and kids ignoring you as though you can't see them) I suppose many teenagers do this. You can't be cool, dragging a live tree.
I had a friend, his kids were great. It was funny to me, that when he saw us at the mall or store he always said hi, and opened the door if we were carrying.
He was cool. Unafraid of showing his Freindship. Very cool!
I don't think it really says something about the character of the person.
She turned out to be a generous, caring loving soul who helps everyday in the soup kitchens in Seattle, near her home, and does countless good acts of generosity.
She is a younger soul however. even though the oldest child in the family. Young souls have a lot to learn. I didn't take offense, actually, we laughed over it.
No big deal, I understand everyone is different.
I felt that way about Nancy too, thats why I laughed about it in the food store, but she does not laugh at herself. Many people can't or don't. Perhaps far too overshadowed by ego of the self, not understanding the true self or soul, laughs at itself at pompousness.
I tend to let people be who they are....as all grow in their OWN time.
Very true.
I knew a guy in high school. Had “the” girl, the clothes, popular, cool.
Saw him on a bus. Wearing pajamas. I didn’t recognize him. He did me.
He was still nice, but something changed him.
This was before pajamas were outdoor go to the store clothing.
What was up with the transits like an hour ago? LOL Crazy!!!
Moon in tropical Cancer is opposite Pluto in Cap.
It's still happening though.
That sun/moon opposition is opposite/conjunct Algol and both luminaries are square my triple conjunction between Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron in Aquarius(My most stressful period is when Jupiter-Saturn-Pluto conjunction is also conjunct my Rahu/ in 2020)How was the Full Moon in Algol transit? I had a little trouble with a woman boss at work with the way she spoke down to in front of everyone about not doing something (that I hadn’t even been trained in how to do) and then ignored me when I asked how to fix it. She’s an authoritarian type. But the manager sorted it out the next day and told her to watch her tone of voice.
Due to Pluto and Saturn transits, I have been under a lot of stress and so this Moon transit kind of pushed that stress over a little further but also made me realize I need to start thinking about stress and the effects it will have on my health in general.
I also ended up reconciling with my on-off again romantic interest. He didn’t apologise because he’s a stubborn Sun Virgo, Moon Capricorn conjunction Saturn type, but his behaviour was a lot more emotionally available than he has ever even before, so that was really nice.
How was everyone else’s Full Moon experience and as a side note, has anyone else had lessons about stress or taking it easier?
This morning it is 6c/42f...I am sitting by my computer with a jumper and dressing gown on and still freezing. At least I don’t need to leave the house for work though, so I should not complain.
Looking forward to Saturn moving on...being delayed in career matters for no reason (managers have said there is nothing wrong with my ability and I’m not being deliberately held back). Feel like screaming but treating it like quick sand and trying not to struggle against it too much. Although, me being me, I have raised my voice and complained about it to Human Resources. Hopefully making a nuisance of myself doesn’t backfire on me.
