Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Calz]

Posted by PurpleLama (here)

My color button malfunctioned so I was trying to remember the code from memory. Almost made me look like ulli had brought me over to the dark side.

Yes ... but ... you *are* still of the Light ... you *do* have our back ... and all the other manly stuff that is slipping away yet again as I prepare for slumber???

On you man ... our leader is asleep and soon you will be *manning* the post.

We cannot afford double agents on *this* side of the fence.

I would drudge up the Jack Nickolson marine thang ... but it is about midnight (on the opposite side of the globe) and my pumkin is about to turn into a super comfy bed. Perhaps not as toasty as modiz ... but will do the trick.

Perhaps in my dreams Callie can awaken ... never underestimate the power of a 5 planet Libra stellium to change the mind.

... stay tuned for the next episode of ... *as the village turns*

Oh shoot...Calzium is back. Who snapped their fingers?
Fortunately our numbers are being kept up, new sirens singing their songs.
Hadn't counted on treachery from within my own ranks here.
Where the h*** is SIERRA??????

Uh ... <scuttling into Modwiz's tent to throw herself under the bed ... >

HERE and NOW...is changing CONSTANTLY..whew!!!

Hi! Im a visitor from the other side...proj camelot..well now a member of both sides!

Theres soooo much going on right now tht one days post will b tomorrows old news! The pressure, the spinning, the vibration occurs more often....sometimes i can feel the vibration and shaking within me. Man made or natural causes...WHO KNOWS??... depending on wht the highlight of the day is? Sometimes i feel like im in heaven, light as a feather, and other times feel the weight and pressure of being SQUEEZED in different dimentions of time/space, space/time. <-------very uncomfortable. Sometimes i feel like im in the past of this life's experience. My body and consciousness seems to always b shifting. Well there u have it...whts happening Here and Now. Should b interesting to see how the here and now changes but in the meantime HUGS all around! we deserve it!

Welcome to Avalon, and most importantly, welcome to the village, Christine! We have a cozy tea room with tasty cake and assorted beverages (I dare not be more specific, I never know what kind of trouble I'm going into with the most innocent of words and sentiments, what with the treachery afoot). Do stop by and make yourself at home.

There are lots of interesting characters around here, and it seems they've mostly landed here in the village lately.

Love and hugs,
Junebug

Watch out Modwiz...
Sierra is bringing the scissors.
And with the way things are going in this Village
you can never be sure what us women will do to you.

Meanwhile ulli has been seriously thinking about doing an Andy Kaufman.
Wait...maybe she is Andy?
Andy faked his death to reappear on a Caribbean beach.

OK Sierra. No comment about housekeeping though. The glare will no allow it to be seen but the screen shows your post requesting a pic of the inside of my tent. The siver stuff is insulation. It is currently 45 degrees F outside but 77 F inside.

I LOVE your lamps ... Imma lamp fanatic. They can add such ambiance to any environment.

[Ruby L.]

Too right, Sierra-- lamps create wonderful ambiance, and they're also great fun!

And this one's for all you cat lovers here:


Not forgetting dog lovers, too:

If someone remebers my post some pages ago about the sync with Angelina: Saturday i met a 6 year old girl named Angelina, Peruvian father and African mother. I told her i've been singing a lot with children (many years ago) and there's this song from Cuba about a 10 year old girl called Angelina that had to marry a much older man....

Todays headlines: Technique from Gothenburg Sweden where i live will stop childporno on the internet worldwide.

[PurpleLama]

That ufo lamp is freaking incredible. Very seldom do I covet material things but I want that lamp so bad I can taste it. I have never seen such a thing. Wow. I love it.

I wish I knew how to make my buttons work right again. Oh well, I've now memorized the one that matters the most, that makes my post *this* color. It's also reloading the page every time I thank a post, and half the time it does that it gives me the No Permission page. Then I have to exit the site and re-enter for it to work again. I'm running on a Palm Pixi, here.

So, whose job is it to play the village idiot?

Hey!!

That was my village role!

Mind you, that was before I was made to milk the cows, unshackle prisoners at the airport, handling the mud-baths at FlaSpa, opening a pizza parlour, so I am a little confused!

Note to self ... to do list ... go back and read the first 56 pages ... else the supreme commander may have me thrown into the brig for insubordination!!!

Oh well ... how bout a compromise since we are throwing around tarot card images ...

I present my new title ... Sir!!!

Almost every time I pull a card, spontaneously, to represent myself... I get:

[PurpleLama]

That's funny, Carmody, as I've had the exact same experience. I've probably pulled that card a dozen times in the last 4 or 5 years. Not from my own deck, mind you.

View from my bed. DVD setup with amplifier and equalizer for great sound with my headphones. Currently loaded movie is........Return of the King. What a big surprize, eh?

Thank you all for watching this episode of, "My Pimped Out Tent".

I love it. Simplification, without rent. Even more simplificationifiededudeness.

I've always been a huge fan of all that Swedish or Northern Euro Simple austere design. Lotsa windows, no furniture. Perfect.

'prolly cuz I'm the messy Virgo, not one of the 'ass squeaks when he walks' up tight clean freak ones. In my dreams, I dare.

If I ever write a will, I'm going to steal a gut-bustingly funny line from one of my old now deceased friends, John. In the paperwork it said: ....."The resultant mess can only be an embarrassment to my heirs".....

[Playdo of Ataraxas]

Here and now retiling my kitchen floor, sipping a Rogue Chipotle Ale! Tasty! I absolutely love menial jobs. It puts me into a meditative trance. While the hands do the work, the spirit roams!

If it's only an embarrassment and not annoyance you should be ok.
I have seen some American basements where the only remedy is a bottle of gasoline and a match stick.
Lot's of Cancer in the charts, however. (Although not wanting to deal with what is behind one can affect all 12 signs.)
The sorting through old stuff and categorizing into trash, give away, sell, keep would take many months,
so burning it all might be the simplest option.
It was what convinced me that in the US there is brainwashing and mind-control at work.
In the poorer countries people are happy because they are not burdened by endless possessions.
Minimalism helps you breathe freely.
A tent is a great idea, as it can only hold so much, so the 12x14 space restriction is a good start to learn to live minimally.

Living in countries where the temptations to consume are limited does help.
Both Barbados and Costa Rica are countries where it is easy to leave the shops empty handed.

I'm in a 2200 sq ft house by myself.

it is full of stuff. Ouch.

I started with just a birthday suit and then it slowly snowballed. I've had times where I've shed it all, pared it down to nothing. And I like that. As one can then do nothing and then...well..meditate. Meditation can bring such amazing things to one's life. Problem is that one can then try to climb through that doorway and never return as this place sucks compared to all that insane difference and fun. (there be bad stuff about, as well, so it's not all caviar and meths)

The earth is considered to be a madhouse (And it can be a funhouse, as well), but it ain't got nuthin' on the dimensional spaces we really come from. People have no idea.

All in all, though, this place can be a good indication, good training wheels - for what comes next.

Which is entirely the point.

LOL! Thx to all who have welcomed me back, and i wasnt aware i was in a village...sweet! Im not used to so many comedians...its great to laugh...NOW especially

[Marianne]

Ulli, is the Village University ready for enrollment yet? Maybe Carmody would be the professor? He knows some deep stuff -- surely I am not the only one who wants to know more???

Also, always loved this saying: *three moves is as good as a fire*

It's the only reason I'm not drowning in stuff.

[transiten]

ulli, you don't have to have a lot of Cancer to end up with a lot of stuff, Venus and Jupiter in the 4:th house ruled by Cancer will do just as well. Anyway this sorting out, giving away, selling, keeping is what i'm going to use my Saturn Moon transit for. Radix Moon conj Neptune in the second both makes it more difficult to let go of possesions or the opposite; in my life resources come and go like ebb and flow.

So true. I have moved nearly fifty times. Twice with a shipping container.
The last ten moves with all those antiques I had in my antique shop in Barbados
and can't sell as no one in Costa Rica understands the English antiques style.
I'm a rat in the Chinese horoscope.

Having had nine shops as well has complicated things further.
Not buying anything anymore, exvept for beads.
I have too many of those, but at least they don't take up a lot of space.
I have too many lamps, also. Like Sierra, I love lamps.
I would love Astrid to fix a few of them for me. By the way, where is Astrid?
ASTRID!!!

It kinda made me think -only shortly, thankfully- of Saturday Night Fever.

You should get that, Mod. Change that DVD. Goes with living in the woods. "Ah, Ah ,ah, ah, stayin' alive..."

As for the Rug, Lebowski, Dude, does it Hold the Room Together?

Ulli's got me beat, I'm only at 27 moves.
